HUGE EGG OMLET.
Big Mass of Cooked Hen Fruit
Stops Train.

A dispatch from Yorktown, Pa,
to the Philadelphia North American
saws: Railroad traffic through this
town was delayed for seven hours
Yesterday by huge omlet, which
blocked the tracks.
The omlet was caused by a fire.
Several hundred thousand eggs had
been stored in a refgerating plant
on the main line. The building
caught fire and early in the blaze
the floors gave way, dropping all
the eggs to the ground floor and
breaking all of them.
The intense heat caused them to
swell, and as the omlet grew it push
ed it's way upon the tracks. For a
full hundred feet on both sides OF
the burning structure this gigantic
omlet filled the right of way.
At first it might have been pos
sible to push a locomotive through
the mass, since the omlet was very
light and frothy. But by the time
the fire was eXtinguished the omlet
had become sad and dropped into a
heavy, solid mass, which was as
tough as a rarebit.
A wrecking crew was sent for,
chains we're attached to one end of
the mass and a locomotive got into
action. The omlet was rolled up and
showed to the side of the tracks.

Blood Poisoning.

A special from Abbeville to The
News and Courier says Mr.. G.. c.
Nabers, a young business man Of
that city, died at his residence today
as the result Of an injury received

plying many adjoining towns with

was overturned. The horses became
frightened, and in attempting to stop
them, Mr.. Nabers became entangled
in the running gear Of the wagon,
and was dragged for a considerable.
distance, sustaining severe injuries.
The flesh on one arm at the elbow
was scraped off to the bone, In its
contact with the ground. His face
was badly lacerated, and there was
evidence of internal injuries. How
ever, not thinking that he was seri-
ously injured he did not consult a
physician Immediately. On the fol-
lowing day hpysician was called,
and it was found that he was suffer-
ing from blood poisoning as re-
suit of his wounds. For the last few
days he has suffered great agony.
Mr. Nabers came here from Elber-
ton. BY strict attention to business
he had made good start In life.
He was married and Is survived by
young wife and two small children,
besides his parents and several broth
ers and sisters in Elberton. His

CUDHaY COMPANY
is CHARGED WITH VIOLATING
REVENUE LAW.
Meat Packing Concern Accused of
Coloring Oleomargarine and Sell
:,,, - B-,1a,. Io,,- T,y

At Topeka, Kansas. the Federal
grand jury returned indictments Fri
day against the Cudahy Packing
Company, of Kansas City, Kansas.
on 737 counts for defrauding the
Government out of $4,000 for vio-
lations Of the internal revenue laws.
The charge is that the company
had defrauded the Government OF
over $4,000 in revenue on oleom-
argerine. The maximum fine on
each of the counts is $1,000.
The revenue law provides that
each pound of uncolored clcomarge-
rine must bear a revenue stamp OF
a quarter of a cent, but that each
pound, to which coloring matter has
been added to give it the appearance
of butter. 10-ccnt revenue stamp
must be attached.
The indictments charge that the
Cudhay Packing Company has sold
the colored product under the quar-
ter of a cent tax.
It is claimed by the Government
officials that the Cudhay Company
has succeeded in monopolizing the
olemarserine market by selling the
colored product and paying the tax
on the basis of uncolored.
District Attorney Rome will bring
a civil action in the Federal Court
eainst the company to have the
plant and machinery used IN the
manufacture of oleomargarine con
fscated. The oleomargarine man
ufacturing plant is connected Wit
the Cudahy Packing Establishment
in Kansas City, Kansas.

MUST SERVE Time
IN THE rENITENTIARY FOR
KILLING SON-IN-LAW.
The State Supreme Court Has SO
Decided in the Case Of S. W.

Among the cases recently decided
by the supreme court was that Of
S. w. Stockman, who was convicted
of the killing Of his son-in-law,
Hampton J. Hartley, during Christ
mas, 1905, in Lexington county, says
the Columbia Record.
Stockman will now have to serve
his sentence of seven years in the
State penitentiary, the supreme court
on Friday having affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court. This
case has attracted more attention
possibly in Lexington county than
any case in recent years.
Eamp Hartley was one OF the
largest dealers in turpentine in the
county, and by hard work and close
economy had secured goodly por-
ion of this worlds goods. He mar
lied the oldest daughter OF Stock
man, who is well-to-do farmer and
prominent in the community. He
is member of the wealthy Stock
man family of Newberry county.
On the night of the tragedy, Hart
lev went to the home Of Stockman.
He was under the influence of whis-
key, il was alleged, and general
row arose. At the trial the defense
-ried to make it appear that Hartley
had attempted to insul his sister-in-
| law. Miss Stockman. and that the
killing was the direct result OF this
But from the testimony of the
States witnesses. it was shown that
Stockman was himself under the in,
auence of whiskev, as was man b!
the name of Taylor. who was 6! gues'
at the Stockman home.
TAYLOR has since been killed by his
own son at his home in Saluda coun
". The first time the case was call
ed, the jury failed to agree. At tht
second trial Stockman was convicted
Of manslaughter and sentenced b.
Judge Dantzler to serve seven years
in the penitentiary.
Stockman is nearing the 60 mile
post and is said to be in failing
| health. It is not known when n
will begin his sentence, but it i
supposed that he will make prepara
tions to leave home within the mex
few days.

THOUSANDS OF PRESCRIPTIONS
Doctors Making Money Which Went
to Saloonmen.

The anti-saloon people of Morgan
town, W. Va, were given a rude
shock this week when District At
torney Boyd declared in open court
that he is going to begin prosecution
against the leading physicians of the
community. He had evidence to
show that one doctor issued 10000
prescriptions for liquor during the
past year. An effort will be made
to include druggists in the prose
cution.
Counting Sundays the number of
whiskey prescriptions written by this
cne physician reaches p day. The
customary price that is paid for
these prescriptions is 81 each, so tha.
the physician made $4,000 a year,
while the druggist probably made
half of that amount. Similar con-
ditions are said to exist all through
the dry" districts of West Vir-
ginia and Ohio.

loss Of six lives as a result Of an
explosion OF the Hamburg-American
saetmer Carnia, at Port Limon,
April l.

ports, was tied to pier at Port Lii
mon when the explosion occurred.
Several hundred cans of kerosene oil
were stored in the forward hold, and
it is believed that leak from one

BUYING CoNGAREE VALLEY.
The Santee River Lumber Mills
Reaching Out.

Santee River Sypress Lumber Com:
pany has a corps Of surveyors at
work surveying the entire valley OF
the Congaree river, and it Is said
that the purpose of this work looks
to the requirement by this company
of all, or most, of the timber con-
tiguous to the Congaree river.
This company now owns over 200,-
900 acres of land, and offers are now
pending which may result in greatly
enlarging this territory. When it
is considered that this acreage is
largely IN excess of the constitution
al requirement for the creation Of
county, its magnitude can be ap-
preciated.
The interest Of the city OF Colum-
bia is involved to an extent in the
growth of this great numbering cor
poration, because its advance into
the Congaree valley just below Co.
lumbia may sound the death knell
Of the hopes of the Capital City for
the establishment of spoke, handle
and veneering works, which other
wise would locate at Columbia and
utilize the immense growth Of hard
wood timber near at hand.
It does seem that it would be
reproach to the business enterprise
and sagacity of Columbia to permit
timber standing within sight Of the
capitol's dome to be transported to
Berkeley county to be manufactured
into lumber, and the profits go to a
corporation which does not even hold
it's charter under the laws of our
State and whose principal or sole
owner is a resident Of Chicago.
