Hopkinsville Tobacco.

Hopkinsville, Ky, March 19.-In-
creased activity was shown by the To-

week. A total OF 9S hogsheads were
sold at prices which were satisfactory
to both buyer and seller OF these
sales &c hogsheaads were sold by the
Planters Protective association and
20 hogshoads by the American Society
of Equity. The association has sold
322 hogsheads to date. The sales at
the association salesroom were of low
grades, Tugs and common leaf, and
prices ranged from 81 to $40 for Jugs,
and $1,000 to $12 for leaf. This
makes a total of 1922 hogsheads sold
here to date, and the receipts amount
to 2,1O0 hogsheads. All of the sales
made during the week were fully up
to the graded prices, while in some
instances, where the quality of the
tobacco justified, an increase over the
grade prices was secured in order to
work up the heavy receipts of tobacco,
which continue steadily.

Receipts at C1arksville.

As the weather has become spring
like and the farmers have began to
run the pillow, the receipts of tobacco
have grown less. There have been
some deliveries during the week, but
not very large. The prizing houses
are not discouraged by this, as most
of the houses have a sufficient quaint
ity to run for some time to come.
The quality of tobacco seen now
in the warehouses ds indicative of the
fact that the prizers have not been
idle. All things look prosperous and
1T is expected that everybody will be
satisfied with the result of last years
tobacco growing. Very good weights,
good quality and good prices and no
advances insure money enough to run
through the season.-Leaf Chronicle.

STANDARD USED
y N MOB METHODS
Stones, Coal, Hot Water and
Even Guns in Fight
Witness at Hearing Has Spirited
Verbal Encounter With the
Defense.
PUT AN END TO COMPETITION

Cleveland. o., March 19.-Stories
of hand-to-hand fights, where stones,
coal. hot water and guns were used
in the encounter between the indie
lpendents and the Standard Oil COM
pany's forces in the early days of the
oil industry, for possession of rights
of way for pipe lines were told by
Lewis Emery, Jr., OF Bradford, Pa.
who was on the witness stand all day
for the prosecution in the govern
ment's custer suit against the stand
ard Oil company.
Mr.. Emery, who also told of the
history of the industry, said he en-
tered the oil business in 1856. He re-
counted the days of the struggling re-
finers before the advent of the stand
ard OIL company in 1873, and de,
cisred that competition ceased at that
time.
Upon. cross-examination of Attor-
lney Rosenthal for the defense, the
testimony OF Mr.. Emery was quite
amusing at times, as the attorney and
the witness had several spirited en-,
counters at repartee, brought out by
the witness admission that he had
been a life long. opponent OF the
Standard Oil company and had. in the
past few years. testified at great
length upon several occasions against
the big company.
Won AMI Lost.
Mr.. Emery related i'm detail his
fight for the oil trade, both in the
United States and in Germany. In,
some instances. he said, he won the
contest and in others met defeat.
This. he said. was particularly true
in Philadelphia. where he had a re-
fnery which he said he was finally
forced TO sacrifice to the Standard Oil
company.
Again, in Philadelphia, he said. he
conducted a retail business, but in this
also met opposition he could not with,
stand. although : he spent a large sum
Of money and sold oil as low as 21s
cents a gallon. He also stated that
one of his pipe lines near Bradford,
Pa, was made Improbable owing TO
the Standard Oil company Offering
premium of 10 cents a barrel on
crude oil.
Mr.. Emery dwelt at length upon
the early formation days of the
Standard Oil company.

an iron gate bearing the words. Gar

airy
On entering the first thing that
meets the eye is board to which
are fixed a crown of thorns, spear,
nails, sponge, etc, as used in the cru
citixion of Christ. Walking along an
avenue of cypress and yew trees, of
which the garden is chiefly composed,
one sees at intervals open spaces,
each containing statue of one of the
twelve apostles. At the end of this
avenue is a huge mound on which
are set up three crosses. Hanging to
each are life size figures representing
Christ and the two thieves.
Built in the side of this mound and
underground is a stone cell to which,
is is said, late member of the Mid
dleton family was wont to repair, and
there in perfect solitude and surround
ed by emblems of the Atonement to
read and mediate over the Bible.
