DETROIT, June 9.-When the High

nings probably will clinch the nego-
tiations recently opened with Manager
Griffith for the purchase of Billy Hogg.
Jennings's pitching staff has been a
disappointment this year, n must be
strengthened if the Tigers are to stay
UP in the race. The suspension of
Donovan and the failure of Killian and
Siever were the incidents that led Jen-
nings to dicker with Griffith for Hogg.

Granite and Mining Quarries and the
Steward and Donohue Company. Of
Augustine. have agreed to restore the
former rates. Recently these companies,

partment with stone, raised the price Of
stone 10 cents on the ton. delivered. and
30 cents on the ton at the quarries. De-
claring that the companies were in a

ing that the stone concerns were taking

Messrs. Hopkins and Scott expressed
themselves to-day as doubtful OF the

than Eastern SOIL absorbs and holds
the oil, which enters largely into the
pethrolithic process, making a tough
road, which, so far. has given satisfac-
ton. The process is only an expert

it is shown 10 be a success the COM

that Delaware roads be built Of the
