Wednesday shortly after noon. Muir
ply was we'll known in local railroad
circles and especially with the local
employees of the Big Four. He was
one of the most popular freight con-

tween cars to the tracks below. Both
legs were cut off near the body and
the injured man died almost instantly.

The return from brilliant trip into
the enemy's country was made the
more glorious yesterday afternoon
when. in the first contest on the home
lot. the Diggers donned their batting
rags. walloping Red" Nelson, Column
bus csst-off, to all corners and de-
feating the Limas handily to 2.
1t was a matinee that was worth
while from a local standpoint Lima
first took on the lead but Dlggers
came up from the rear, principally
through the savage hitting of one jay
Willoughby, passed Lima and after
that the game was never very much in
danger.
Parsons was in the Digger power
house, working against his old team
mates and against q pitcher. who like
himself, was with the Columbus club
during the early season. Nelson was
given to Lima in exchange for Pickett.
Perhaps Lima was gold bricked.
PARSONS is THERE.
Now Parsons was mighty good all
the way through. He had habit of
getting into a mess and then pull
ing nicely out of IT. aided by clever
defensive work by numerous other
Diggers. Just eleven of those league
leaders were left on the paths wait
ing for the blow that would send them
iiltering in, yet only once in the con-
test did a safety score a runner. That
was i'm the first when Finke reached
second after Wolfe had handled his
roller and had thrown the ball to the
stands in hurry-up play Fohl's
out put Finke on third. from whence
he scored on Alex Reillys slap to
left. Lima secured another run in
the eighth. With the bricks full, Foutz
hit fast one at Wolfe and the Dig
ger shortstop with the aid of Behring-
er and Staley pulled off double play,
letting Reilly score.

Wolfe played a clever game aheld,
his greatest stunt being a barehanded
stop of A. Rcilly's drive in the last
inning. There was no chance to get
the runner. but the grab kept Weller
from scoring.

Lee Fohl speaks in the highest
terms of Watkins, the youngster who
was with the Diggers the first of the
year. Foh says Watty has won
game after game for them and IL
valuable any place he puts him. With
proper encouragement he expects
Watkins to develop into q star of the
first magnitude. The Lima leader says
that Watkins poor showing here was
due to the fact that he was constant
ly being roasted and called for every
thing he did.

o'clock The train was stopped
and the body was examined and a
card was found bearing the name
Richard Sanders, and the address Ak

back to Girard and a search is being
conducted In order to find any trace
of the relatives. The person was
known as a very mysterious character
and had very peculiar views.
1t Is unknown whether the dead
man met with violence, but IL is
thought generally that he was the VIC

torn up and broken glass was found
about him. The body was not found
until several hours after death.

METHODS OF HANDLING MIX.

Service as Respects Cleanliness Su-
periOr 10 that I'm England
Mix Is conveyed 10 London by the
various big railroad companies IN differ
ent ways The greater part OF Il, which
is brought from distances Of about 10
miles. is carried principally in special
milk trains. MIX vans on the special
trains ara OF no uniform pattern, some
may be termed good, some Indifferent
and some bad The best are vel 1T
ted FOR the purpose. with close-boarded
sides admitting plenty OF ventilation, but
excluding dirt and vet: the Indifferent
are those with Open-boarded sides, ad-
hitting both wet and dirt. as well as air,
and the bad are old passenger train lug
gage vans. Of which the ventilation is in
adequate. says the American Cultivator.
None Of the special milk vans IS 1T
ted with refrigerating apparatus. but as
these trains are seldom or ever more
than seven hours on the journey. perhaps
the refrigerating process IS not greatly
needed. Some milk. especially THAI cay
ried FOR long distances. is conveyed in
the luggage vans of passenger trains, q
most unsanitary mode OF conveyance, as
in addition 70 the lack OF ventilation the
van Is probably heaped with a miscellane-
Gus cargo, some of which is not unlikely
20 have an Injurious influence OF the
milk
Another fault IN the English system OF
carrying milk by train IS that the cans in
which the milk Is contained are hardly
ever locked or sealed, affOrding oppor-
tunities for the milk to be tampered with
or for dirt 20 enter en- route. The trains
which convey milk to London do not
as a rule run az any high rate OF speed.
The trains which bring milk TO New
York are nearly az made up o. we'll
constructed and suitable cars equipped
with refrigerating apparatus. and travel
az high rate or speed Both in London
and in New York the principal milk
trains arrive al night IN regard 10
distributing milk, there are no essential
differences in vogue IN London. and
IN New York or with respect 10
the care taken OF milk after il arrives
al its destination, Il may be asserted
that far more attention IS paid 10 the
phase of the question IN New York than
in London. For instance. there is prac-
tically no certified milk sold in London.
and a relatively small quantity Of milk
retailed in bottles, whereas in New York
there are 1000 quarts OF certified milk
daily sold. and more than one-third Of the
total city supply IS retailed IN bottles.
The manner Of carrying milk TO Gus
toners IS much better in New York than
The London methods. In London Il IS
hawked about in small hand carts. while
IN New York the greater part OF Il Is
conveyed in carts. specially constructed
for the purpose, drawn by horses. The
milk stores at which milk IS sold are.
speaking generally. better in New York
than in London. In both cities. Of course.
the small milk stores are not infreQuently
In an unsanitary condition, but IN London
80 per cent OF the shops al which milk
is retailed are small general provision
shops. In which the conditions are often
unhygienic.

The army against Maj. Buchanan, as IL
was understood that Capt. Grants resig-
nation was supposed 10 refer 70 drunken
ness while on duty" and by some Mai
Buchanan's course in acting upon Capt
Grants conduct while OF duty and in a
private house was considered a breach
OF military ethics. II must be remem-
bered that drunkenness in 1854 was an
OffenSe Of a very different character from
what It Is IN 1908.
