carnesie,s Eirst lnvsstmsn,.

It was due to Thomas A. Scott that Andrew Carnegie made his first invest. ment, ten shares of stock fin the Adams Express company. valued at $500. This he did with considerable trepidation. He had labored hard for the money he had saved up while he had worked as a telegrapher. It is part of railroad history how he later fell in with the inventor of the sleeping car, saw the enormous advantages which that man. ner of travel held out to passengers and promoters and how he interested others in the invention of MT. Wood run. This occurred shortly after his return from Washington. when the problems of transportation were still uppermost in his mind. He was now on the road to success and wealth as he then pictured earthly possessions The Pennsylvania oil fields yielded large returns when Carnegie and oth- CTS turned their energies In the direc. tion of the newly discovered territory. In one year land purchased for $40. 1000 increased in value so that 1t paid div. idend of s1 O.0O0.-Exchange.

WANTED LEMON PIE
Two Soldiers Gave That as a Reason For Deserilng From
 Their Company.

Chicago, July 13.-Unless the United States navy adds lemon pie to it's menu, there is danger of wholesale assertions. Two deserters in the training ship Constellation were arrested yesterday in Chicago and both declared that the reason they ran away from the navy was because of lack of pastry contain ing lemon custard. They were laundering themselves on their favorite food in a Clark street res- taurant when detective who over- heard them talking, suspected them of being naval deserters and arrest ed them. Both boys confessed that they were deserters from the Con- stellation. The boys are Thomas McGrath, of New York and Stephen Povalin of McKeesport, Pa. Neither of them is 19 years old. On June 18th while the Constellation was at Boston the boys decided that the navy was not the place for them. It was pay day and with the money they had drawn they bought civilian clothes and left for Chicago on a straight train.

Shortly after p. m. the royal box began to fill up and as the kind entered the gates leading to the competitors quarters flew open and the athletes marched out under the banners of their respective nations.

HENRY STILL IN QUOD
Court Refuses 10 Reduce His BoBd-Girl is Some Better
 To-Day.

There was a slight improvement to-day in the condition of Miss Clara Hoyt, who is at the Waterbury hos pital with a fractured skull as the result of the automobile accident on North Main street Thursday after noon. Although the doctors are not really committing themselves, they seem to think that the chances look brighter each day for the girls re- covery. Still they are fearful lest change for the worse may develop. Walter Henry, the chauffeur, who was driving Warren L. Halls car when 1t struck Miss Hoyt, is still a prisoner at the police station and is greatly upset because no bondsman has appeared as yet. He has quiated down considerably the past couple of days and evidently has begun to realize that the procuring of a bondsman is a rather serious ques- tion. He thought that his employer would be around ere this to bail him out, but at present it would seem as though he was doomed to disapopint- ment.
 Several young women continue to call on Henry and to say the least, they are not forgetting to bring him some choice dainties. Yesterday and this morning he had several callers. One young lady has made about half dozen calls on the prisoner since he has been locked up. The young mans father arrived from Darien yesterday and is making a vigorous effort to secure bondsman for his son. It is said that Elmer Trask, the dog warden, whom Henry worked with for a time, and James ThOmp- son were willing to furnish a cash bond, but this Is not acceptable at the local station.
 In the city court to-day Dr Crane testified in resopnse to questions by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Me- Grath that he is attending the girl in the hospital, and that while there is a slight change for the better he would not say by any means that sho is out of danger. He thought that in the course of a few days, per haps four, it would be possible to say definitely whether she will live.
 Attorney A. P. Hayes, counsel for the accused young man, asked if the girls chances for recovery were not good and the doctor said they were only about even with her chainces of not recovering. In view of this state of affairs Mir Hayes asked for reduction of the bond of s2,000 to s1, ,000. Mir McGrath objected and the court said that in view of the evidence he would let the bond re- main as 1t is. .-- 2

HE LOST HIS sso
FIim.FIsmerS Got All the Money That Francesca O'Masi Had
 Saved.

The old flim-fiam game, worked so often in this city of late, was used this morning to relieve Francesca D'Masi of 28 Jewelry street of $60 his hard earned money. It was about all he had in this world and when he called at the detective office later in the day to inform the police of his loss, he wept like child. It was the old juicy trick of making the man | believe that the strangers were wealthy people having $10,000 with them-in Italian money. Of course | the supposed wallet turned out to be only bundle of newspapers cut up in the shape of dollar bills. The de- tectiev department has very little hope of catching the men that work ed the game.
 O'Brien Construction Go and was on his way to work this morning via the railroad tracks. Not far from the Bank street bridge he was accosted by stranger who walked a short dis tance with him and informed him that he wanted to get back to Penn sylvania. He had plenty of money but it was of the Italian kind. Would Francesca just as soon take the roll and advance him few dollars on it.
 The two had proceeded for some distance when they were joined by another stranger who apparently knew neither Francesca nor Man No l. When he heard the story of the man who wished to go back to Penn sylvania he said he was willing to give him what money he had provid ing the other fellow gave him some security. Francesca was much i'm pressed at the stranger willing to ad- vance money to Man No l and think ing that the s10,000 melon would be good to get in on he decided he would help out some.
 It was agreed that all three should go to Pennsylvania and Man No 1 was to get the tickets with the mon ey which Francesca and the stranger were to furnish. Francesca dug into his pocket, unfolded a handkerchief, which was tied in innumerable knots and brough aout $60, the savings of ten months, the time that he has been in this country. As he had much more money than the second stranger the bundle of Italian coin was given to him for safe keeping, it having been decided that he would be best to keep 1t until they reached Penn sylvania where the money would be converted into United States green backs.
 Francesca seeing nothing but cas- ties in the air did not continue on to work; no more pick and shovel for him. He immediately, with the roll of money inside his shirt, started for home where he was to clean up and return to meet his friends They were going to depart from this city right away. His curiosity was arous- ed to such an extent when he reached home that he could no longer resist the temptation of opening the pack age and taking peep at the fortune in his hands. It almost gave him heart failure when he took a look. Nothing but couple of newspapers cut into several pieces. Francesca, almost frantic. went looking for his friends. but it was a vainless search. The players are finding it mighty easy picking in Waterbury and there is no way of stopping the bareface tlim-fiam.
