EnQineer and Conductor Discharged.

The Wake county jury that
took the case against Engineer
w. w. Rippey and Conductor ].
M. Oakley, who were running
train No. 1876 which collided with
a freight in Auburn, last night
returned a verdict of not guilty
after celebrating five hours.
The men were on trial for man
slaughter 1t will be recalled
that these men figured in an ac-
cident that killed a freight engi-
neer and two colored fireman last
year. The collision was caused
by both men in charge of the
train, the engineer and conduc-
tor, the state alleging, disobey-
ing orders and causing the death
of the two men.
Criminal carelessness of such
grossness as to make it one of
the degrees of murder, was ar
gued by Solicitor Armistead
Jones, who conducted the prose-
cution, and the defendants were
represented by Ex-Governor Ay-
cock, Engineer Rippey defended
himself by saying that upon this
trip he was quite i'll and that the
colored fireman was in charge of
the engine much of the way.
Conductor Oakley declared ne
had an unusually heavy train of
eleven cars and that it was i'm
possible to handle these and
keep in mind all of the orders.
He did not deny forgetting them.
The colored fireman also said
that in passing Auburn, where
the trains were to meet. the
white light was out indicating a
clear track. Taking all of these
circumstances under advisement,
! the jury decided that there was
nothing criminal in the conduct
of the defendants and they were
, accordingly released.

AS A SANITARY MEAS.
IRE

The Graphic would call the atten-
ton of it's readers to the necessity of
wire screens as sanitary measure in
this climate and for protection against
flies and mosquitoes. It is a we'll
known fact that ordinary house flies
spread disease germs Of all kinds,
particularly typhoid germs. Flies pick
up thousands OF these germs on their
feet and bodies from their feeding
grounds, fly to the house, get on the
food and in the milk, and the result
is typhoid fever, if the fly has been
where the typhoid germs exist. Your
physician will tell you that typhoid
germs are communicated through what
you eat and drink.
The use of screen doors and win
dows should be, and is becoming more
general. Only few years ago
screens were considered luxury. AS

theory of germ life and the fact that

The people in these cities have de-
manded that the milk dealers, who sup
ply them. purchase milk in the Illinois
dairy districts where the milk is ship
ped in its natural state under sanitary
conditions
We therefore, the members OF this
association, have found II advisable to
insist, for our own protection, Nupon
having all of the milk, which is sent
out of the county, prepared for Ship
ment under sanitary conditions.
We, the members, subscribe to the
following rules which shall govern us
in the future. Each member violating
these rules shall be subject to a fine
of $25 for every offense and every
member promises to report and prose-
cute any other milk dealer whether he
be member of this association or not,
who is found wilfully violating the
rules of this association.

The fact was not generally known,
however, until yesterday, when politi-
cal circles began to hum with the news
that Mr. MacVeagh. who in 1894 had
been nominated by the democrats of
Illinois for the United States senate,

MISS QUINN WINS
HER FIGHT FOR LIFE
Whiting Operator in Shad-
ow of Death, is
Recovering.
DUE TO SHARP BIT OF BRASS
Was in Danger of Having Her Arm
Amputated-Paid Little Atten-
ton at First.

Whiting, Ind, Aug. 22.-(Special)
hospital in Chicago yesterday an
nounced that Miss May Quinn, the
pretty chief operator of the Whiting
telephone exchange, who has been near
death for several days as the result
of a scratch on her finger, has won her
fight for life and is now convalescent.
In order to save the young woman
it was at first feared that that it would
be necessary to amputate her hand.
A less serious operation performed a
few days ago proved successful, how
ever. and she will leave the hospital
without the loss of any member.
Slight Wound on Finger.
Miss Quinn was injured more than a
week ago. A sharp bit of brass, SO
small that it was scarcely perceptible,
inflicted slight wound on one of her
fingers while she was at work She
bound the injury up in her handker-
chief and continued to work. After
scarcely giving it thought for two OF
three days the young woman was pain
fully reminded of her wound by the
discovery that her finger had swollen
to twice it's normal size.
Within a few hours the swelling
spread to her hand and then to hel
arm. She was unable to take her place
at the switchboard, and, after suffer
ing untold agonies for some time, final
~ called in physician.

condition of her hand, Immediately be-

AT st. Anthony,s hospital it was de-
cided that an amputation would not
be necessary, but the injured finger
was operated upon. Miss Quinn ex-
poets to leave the hospital in few
days.
Il had no idea my injury was ser

the tiniest scratch imaginable at first
and l should not have noticed it at

blood that appeared.
After l had put bit of court plas-
ter over the cut l forgot about it for
a few days until a sudden twinge OF
pain reminded me. Almost immedi-
ately afterward the wound began to
swell and the speed with which the
inflammation spread from my finger tc
my hand and from the hand to the
forearm was terrifying. The pain was
awful, too, and when 1 finally called

INCREASED EARNINGS
Common Stock u. S. Steel
May Not Go Above
Five Per Cent.

United States steel earnings promise
to increase materially in the last quar-
ter, but that Improvement is likely to
be marked enough to earn per cent on
the common stock is thought unlikely.
In the event of expected easy shedding
for the republican presidential candi-
date steel manufacturers expect boom
in business the last two months of the
year, and in this case the last half OF
the year might yield S55,O0O,0OO in net
5.3 per cent. but as deductions for de-
probation, interest and dividends on
preferred stock would increase pro-
portionately, the showing for the year
is expected to fall somewhat short of
this figure.
Net earnings of the United States
Steel corporation during the first half
of s190s were $3S.494,761, and should
earnings the last half reach the figure
named, the total net would be 3,494,-
761, about 100000 less than last
year. Deductions proportfonate to
those of the first half year would be
$66,416,55O, leaving s27,O7S,211 for COM
mon stock.
