The Rev. f. w. Thwing, secretary

Twelve nations participated in this
congress, and much was done by the

its meeting to prepare the way for ac-

the opium curse. Mr.. Thwing was
sent to Shanghai by the bureau in 1908

substitution of other evil habits for

AMONG CEMENT BLOCKS.
Half Hour with a Man Who Makes
These Building Blocks.

A State Journal reporter stumbled
into a little office down at 507 East
Fourth street where a man makes and
sells rocks for a living. That man is
J. F. Spohn. For the past twenty five
years Spohn has been working and ex-
perimenting with cement and says he
is confident he has the best formulas
for mixing cement for any purpose it
may be used. At that plant on East
Fourth street 1000 concrete building
blocks are moulded and laid out to
cure each week. From that same
stand the 1000 blocks are sold in the
same time. Mr.. Spohn began cement
business in Binghamton, N. Y, then
transferred to Springfield, Mass. then
Scranton, Pa, and Buffalo, N. Y,
where he was vice president and SUI
perintendent of the National Corun-
dunn Wheel Co. Mr.. Spohn built the
first cement block building ever erect
ed in Buffalo.
The reporter sauntered back into
the shop where a quick little chap
was tamping sand and cement together
in a modern cement block machine
and with jerk of a lever, a flourish
Of a troweI and a spank here and pat
there another block was made to last
an age. J. T. Spohn and his employees
know how to make cement blocks and

have occurred tonight. It was decided
that they would get a party of young
people and charivari the married
couple. This talk brought up the ques-
ton of using some firearms. During
the conversation an old revolver was
secured by Miss woodward and handed
to Merchant. After trying to work the
cylinder, it was handed back to Miss
woodward with some conversation
about it not working right. Miss Wood
ward took the gun and tried to pull the
trigger but it would not work for her.
She then took both hands and pointed
the gun towards Merchant and pulled
at the trigger again. This time the gun
worked and Merchant received the ball
in his head. Merchant fell without
saying a word at the feet of the young
lady. The noise of the shot attracted
the attention of other members of the
family and they rushed out and found
the 1ife1ess body of Merchant at the
foot of the steps and Miss woodward
unconscious. The young lady was soon
revived and told of the accident, but
since has been suffering from the nerv-
Gus shock. Merchant had been going
with Miss Woodward for some time and
it is reported that they were engaged to
be married in a short time. The re-
volver had not been used for several
months and had become rusty from

young people thought there were any
loads in the gun and examined it be-
fore they commenced to work with it.
In the darkness, they overlooked the
one load which was the only one in the
gun. The deceased was about Il years
of age and had resided with his parents
in East Mineral for number of years.
He was highly respected and was one
Of the most widely known young men
of that part Of the county. Miss Wood
ward is also one of the most widely

She has resided there for the past nine
years with her parents and Is highly
esteemed by all. No blame whatever is
charged against Miss woodward for
the accident.
