BABY'S BODY IN
WELL A MYSTERY
Coroner CaIIaway'S Jury
Could Not Fix Response
biIity for the Death

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE. oct. THE body OF
the infant found in a well at Dobbins-
vile a few days ago was sent by
Undertaken Clewen to Farnhurst last
evening for interment in the Potter's
field. The inuuest held by Coroner
Callawav threw no light on the death
of the child. Feeling is high in the
neighborhood. and Attorney General
Richards will be asked to investigate
the case. The body was that of ten
pound infant. and it never found its
way into the we'll itself The appear
ance of it when found was that It has
been thrown in alive. Rumors that
there would be an arrest were dis
uuelled by the coroner.
Eugene Chase. in speaking Of the
Parkside football team. says it is now
as it was last year "a little Off side"
The score was 8 TO 0. and because he
would not allow an illegal forward pass
or touchdown after call OF time there
was a kick. AS usual he gives the
visitors the benefit of the doubt and
he has often thought since that had he
held Parkside down to The real letter Of
the football,law New Castle would have
scored and Parkside would have gotten
the goose egg.
Manager Madden said last night that
so far as he is aware there will be no
regular football team here this year.
The High School will have club.
The City Cornet Band each year has
played free Of charge at the openinG
games of the New Castle baseball club
When a benefit was arranged for the
band those in charge of the grounds
want to charge too much for the use
of the park.

WOMEN CROWD
TOPKIS STORE
Many Shoppers Pleased Al
The Display Of Fall Hats
and Suits

At r. Topkis Sons big department
store No 400 Market street and Az King
street, an exhaustive line Of fall hats
and suits for women is beng Shown. As a
result hats are being bilt on Larger lines
this season than ever before. In suits there
appears To- be a reversion ,o the styles
extant during the time of tas first French
empire, with melern trimmings and The
most approved methods in cutting and
fit.
With little modification the general out
. lines Of suits are built to resemble what
was considered very stylish during the
regime Of the brilliant French court. the
straight lines on which the suits are cut
amply manifesting the simole but effective
and particular style tha' is az once be-
coming to women. That women welcome
this Innovation, tinctured with twentieth
century millinery ideas. is very apparent
10 Judge from the attention the fan OPEN
ings are rec3ying.
IN hats is quite a lack OF trimming
most of being built for shape alone
in diffe. ent grades Of straw, though thee
are some that are masses Of trimm' 2 /;
these. however, being in the minority
one sort of hat in particular, called the
American Beauty. is specially noteworthy
as peculiar and exclusive design.
Edward Priddey, decorator of To s.
Department store has infused the idea of
French empire st 'es in his decorations
of the two show w.n'ows on the Market
ST eet side. He has carried out the de-
sign by arranging the display so as to
give the impression Of straight lines with
out deviation of any character. The open.

The Wonders of Modern Surgery.

One of the most daring surgical
operations ever attempted was per.
formed this week in the Bicetre
hospital. Drs. Babinsky and
Bosset having an epileptic under
their charge determined to remove
his entire skull, as we'll as the
menings, or membranes that cover
the brain.
The operation was successful,
but later arose the difficulty cf
providing an artificial skull to re-
place the one which had been re-
moved. Various materials were
tried, including celleloid and alu-
minum, but after many expert
ments the doctors found suitable
composition, and the new skull
was put in place. While this is
not the first tims skull has been
removed, it is the first time all ar
tificial one has been provided.
Drs. Championnerre and Doven
once before removed skull, but
replaced it.-Paris dispatch.

This Man Is a Slayer.

Why, certainly, John Laws was
renominated by the Democratic
county convention held on Satur-
day, August Goth, for register of
deeds of Orange county, and that,
too, by acclamation and without a
dissenting vote. The Democrats
of Orange have about made up
their minds that this Office belongs
to Mr.. Laws by right of possession,
and they are going to constitute
to elect him as long as he lives.
Mr.. Laws recorded his first paper
as public register for Orange coun-
ty in August, 1s49, 50 years ago
last month. The Orange County
Observer will pay a handsome re-
ward for the names Of any mar
ried couple who are now living in
this county OF elsewhere, who were
married in Orange county, and
whose marriage license was not
issued by John Laws.-Hillsboro,

Effort to Delay Sale.

As the result of a meeting OF
parties interested, held liz Green's
boro Thursday afternoon, it seems
probable that the sale of the Odell
Manufacturing Company, Of this
city, will not take place Septem-
ber 10Th, as advertised ander the
decree of the United States Court,
the change of plans having been
brought about by the recent fire
that destroyed a portion of the
property. The representatives Of
the creditors present asked Mr..
Caesar Cone, the receiver, to re-
quest the court to modify the order
of said court heretofore made. in
order that the sale may not take
place until after the first loss
had been adjusted. Judge Boyd,
who issued the order of sale, is
out of the city, but no trouble is
anticipated in having the order
so modified as to postpone the
sale until fire loss shall have
been adjusted. Another Meeting
of the crt ditors will be held in
Greensboro September 24.-Con-
cord Times.

The Value of Good Roads.

A gentleman who is interested in
good road building, and who has
had ample opportunity to observe
the progress Of the work, sid af-
ter looking over the sections of
macadam recently completed on
the Taylorsville road, west of
Statewide, that it Is the best
piece of macadam work ne has
seen. Further discussing maca-
dam work, this gentleman re-
marked that if the building OF
macadam roads will increase the
value of adjacent land So per acre
1.-THE lact is the average increase is
greater than this) the increased
value of a strip of land half mile
wide on each side of road will
paw the cost of building the road,
and the increased value OF land
farther than a half mile from the
road is clear gain. 1t IS a we'll
known fact that. the building OF
macadam roads adds greatly to
the value of land and the increase
iu value does not stop nall mile
away, but extends several miles L.
A farm on this same laylorsVllle
road was offered for S0,ooo oe1ore
the road was built and hao no
takers. Since the macadam was
put down an offer OF slo'ooo was
refused. And the Increased value
of land is just one poln' Ill l"soA

STRAIN is VERY GREAT.
Dispatches Say Mr.. Bryan is Tired Out and
PhyiCians Urge Rest.

Hoarse from constant speaking,
tagged and tired, VIM. J. Bryan,
arrived here this morning from
Rochester. His physicians have
advised him to take rest but his
political managers say they cannot
spare him at this time, but will
even extend the Commoner's tour
to the Pacific Coast. Bryan will
only get one day IN Lincoln, where
he had planned to rest for week.
He remained in New York but an
hour and went direct to Harring-
ton and Wilmington, Dela., where
he speaks at both places today.
Tomorrow at noon he speaks at
Broadw alter meeting and at night
will address the Democratic hosts
in Carnegie Hall under the aus
pices of the Democratic organiza-
tion. This is considered one of
his most important speaking dates.
A long conference was held on the
way down from Rochester between
Chairman Mack and Bryan. The
last ten dates for speakings will
be left open so that Bryan can be
rushed wherever he IS needed
