WRONG IDENTIFICATION.
Body of Man Found in New York Not
That of Cornish.

New York July 29.-Although the body
of "a murdered man which was found in
Gravesend bay last Sunday was believed
to be that of Harry f. Cornish, one OF
the central figures in mysterious muI-
der case of a few years ago the identfi-
cation was subsequently disproved. Mr..
Cornish who could not be found at first,
on seeing the published identification,
called up the newspapers and asked that
the report of his death be corrected. The
mistaken Identification was made by De-
tective Crane, who formerly was employed
in the murder trials who said he knew
Mr.. Cornish we'll enough to be positive

GOOD THING FOR

Profit of S22,2O5, O33 Made in
Reorganization of North

st. Paul, July 29.-That ]. p. Morgan &
Co and others in the syndicate that re-
organized the Northern Pacific made a
profit of 81, POS ,O33 was what the attorneys
for the state attempted to establish today
at the Minnesota rate hearing.
The attorneys for the railroad, however.
contended that these figures represent the
par value of the stock involved and that
the stock at that time was not worth par.
They further contend that the question of
whether j.. p. Morgan * Co. made a large
fee in connection with the reorganiZat ton
has nothing TO do with what the Northern
Pacific railway is worth today. 1t is on
the present worth that they expect to
earn an adequate return.

OVERPOWERED BY THE MOB

Pensacola, Fla, July 29-Three men
dead and score wounded, probably
fatally, is the record of an attempt to-
night by a mob to storm the county
Jail and take out the negro, Leander
Shaw. who today assaulted Mrs. Lii
liam Davis near here.
The mob numbered probably a thou
sand persons and gathered early. but
there was no apparent indication untN
two hours later that the crowd, which
completely surrounded the Jail, con-
templated making rush.
The first indication was when a rail-
road iron rail was brought into play by
about a dozen men on the iron gate
of the jail yard. At the same mo-
ment the entire mob seemed to catch
the spirit, and, with yells and curses,
dashed for the Jail entrance. Some
climbed over the tall iron fence, while
others hammered upon the gate.
Sheriff Was Game.
The sheriff, with half a dozen depu-
ties, stood in the windows upstairs
with drawn revolvers and rifles. The
sheriff pleaded with the mob, at the
same time telling them he would de-
fend the osprienr art the cost of every
life present. His words had no effect
and the moment the first blow was
struck in the gate a volley of shots
flashed from the upper WINDOWS Of the
Jail. This was answered by the crowd,
which poured volley after volley into
the Jail windows, wounding two depu-
ties. The mob was mOmentarily
driven back, with many wounded and
one dead as a result of the deadly aim
of the sheriff and his deputies. At
midnight the mob. which in the mean
time had been reinforced by many resi-
dents of the surrounding country,
