HOLLOW CONCRETE
FENCE POSTS

Madison, Wis, April 26.-That the
cost of concrete fence posts can be
reduced considerably by making them
hollow, and that this does not ma
terially affect their strength, has
been demonstrated by Prof. G. A.
Ocock of the agricultural engineer
ing department of the University of
Wisconsin. By a few notifications
of the ordinary mold and the use of
a galvanized iron or wooden core,
these hollow posts can be readily
made by any farmer A saving of
about four pounds of cement per post
is brought about by this method.

l "A S John Hanon, junkman and fish
, "a peddler, was driving along East
. FIrty-frst street, Flatbush, early
on the morning OF Feb, 20, 1903, he saw
In the dead grass and garbage some dis
lance from the roadside a big bundle
wrapped In red and yellow o!lcloth.
Hanlon jumped off his wagon. went TO
the bundle and turned It over with his
foot. One flap OF the ollcoth fell away,
disclosing part OF human head.
In terror he raced for a telephone and
called up the police. Tie queer bund.
was examined by patrolman Gotterman
1t contained the head and part o. the
armless. mutiated body OF a man.
A few yards furthe. on second
smaller bundle was discovered, swathed
in the same sort OF gaudy oilcloth. This
held the severed arms and legs OF the
Same man.
An odd feature o. the affair was that
the murderers had not even stripped
their victim before cutting him to
pieces. All the outer and under clothes
were still on the body. cut through. as
were the limbs, by a razor or very
sharp saw,
Not far away was a felt hat, IN whose
crown was the word Palermo"
The murdered man was about thirty
years old, an Italian, rather tall and OF
! heavy build. lie was very closely shaven
and his face still bore marks OF talcum
powder. He had apparently just been
shaved-and was perhaps stIll In the
barber chair-when he vas attacked.
Three sttetto staos in the throat had
caused death.
The strangest feature OF the affair
was not only the mutilatinS OF the face
TO prevent Identification, but the cut
ting of OF tho tongue, This, according
to old traditions and secret society Gus
toms implied that traitor had been
punished for babbing secrets.
The dead mans watch and money had
not been touched, proving that robbery
was not the crimes motive.
1t has been said that criminal locks
and double-locks nine doors that lead To
detection and leaves the tenth door Wide

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. July 12.-Wheat for July de-
livery touched new high record mark
for the season today. when it sold at
1 2OIa per bushel during a wild furry at
the opening of the market due to gen.
erai rains in the harvest belt during
the last forty eight hours Other de-
Iiveries. however, failed to respond to any
great extent.
Cable advices had a depressing effect
on the distant deliveries. The opening
on July was Is to rs higher, at 1.19z to
1 12Oh. Heavy realizing sales caused a
quick decline to 1.19A, but the price again
rallied to around 1.20.
Corn was irregular early in the day,
the July delivery being firm, while the
more deferred months were inclined to
be weak.
The July option was bullishly affected
by continued light receipts. Favorable
crop reports had a bearish effect on other
months July opened u to 4 higher, at
72A to 72l., and advanced to 72X.
soon weakened on selling based on the
favorable outlook for the new CROP July
opened u to . higher at 5Ois to 5Oss and
sold of to 5Oas.
Provisions were dull and easy, a Sc
decline in live hogs causing moderate
bearish sentiment in the pit Prices at
the start were to ia lower than the
previous close.
The July wheat delivery was inclined
to be strong the greater part OF the
day although at one time the price
dropped to 119 in sympathy with n
fresh decline in distant options. The
market closed firm for July but weak
for other deliveries, July being up ",
at 119a.
A weaker corn tone developed durlnp
the final half Of the session. owing to
profit taking In July. The option sold
off to T1H. The market closed easy.

With the exception of the market lead
er, Washington Gas, there was compare
lively little of interest at the noon meet
ing today of the Washington Stock Ex-

uted through the list. but none of the
transactions ran into large figures.
Washington Gas lacked the immediate
presence of Thomas l.. Hume, who has
been in command of the bull movement,
though IL was evident that his orders were
being carried into effect. as different
blocks of stock. varying in size from the
usual quotation lot of twenty-five shares
to maximum of 100 shares, were alb
sorbed easily, and without at all affect
ing the market. Altogether only 260
shares of Gas were sold, and to get even
that small quantity it was necessary for
the bidders to establish another new high
record by taking stock at IS. The mar
ket opened at 71a and progressed stead
lily by fractions 10 IS, the price going up
