Sales at a Cent Apiece
in Pittsburg.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. March 2-Three million
five hundred and eighty-four thousand
FIVE hundred and twenty-eight eggs were
thrown on the wholesale market yester-
day. This deluge caused a reduction to
24a26 cents per dozen-a drop OF 1h
cents over night Continual recessions in
the price of eggs since last Thursday
have brought values to level seldom
seen at this season of the year.
"Cold-storage eggs have been disposed
of and the eggs on the market now are
of the finest quality produced at any
season of the year. said A. w. Hale,
secretary of the butter and eggs board.
wholesalers are anxious to keep sup
plies from accommodating on the market
at this time, and they are giving the re
tailers the full benefit of the decline. 1t

is given the same consideration"

BODY R|DDLED WITH SHOT
NEGRO CAPTURED BY POSSE
AND PUT TO DEATH.
Had Attempted Criminal Assault
and Fatally Stabbed Husband
of Woman Attacked.

VIDALIA, Ga, March Twill Will
Hanson, a negro, who early yesterday
morning attempted to criminally as
stabbed her band, met death at the
hands of a posse of citizens last night.
He was riddled with shot from the
guns of the posse at Petrose, five miles
from here, at o'clock, after refusing
to obey a summons to halt.
Williamson entered the home of A. H.
c. Mann. a well-to-do planter. at Cedar
Crossings, at / o'clock yesterday morn
ing, attacked Mrs. Mann with criminal
intent and fatally wounded her hus-
band when he came to her rescue from
an adjoining room.
Mann was stabbed with long bladed
knife in number of places. and no hope
is entertained for his recovery.
Tracked by Bloodhounds.
Bloodhounds were secured shortly after
the occurrence and the negro was trailed
to a turpentine distillery near the scene
of the crime. The neighborhood was
quickly aroused. and posses began a
search i'm every direction. Upon being dis
covered in clubhouse at PetrOSe, the
negro ran and refused to obey the sum-
mons to halt, Whereupon he was shot to
death.
The house was robbed by the negro be-
fore he entered Mrs. Mann's room.
Owing to the prominence OF the Mann
family indignation over the triple crime
ran high.
Williamson was we'll known in the COM
munity, and was generally regarded as a
dangerous character.

PANAMA, March 2.-Jose Domingo de
Obaldia, president of Panama, died of
heart disease at $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. He had been i'll only since
last Friday.
Angina pectoris was the direct cause of
President Obaldia's death.
The president was deeply beloved by
all and the whole republic is in mourning.
DR.. Carlos A. Mendoza, second vice
president, assumed the presidency at $3.50
O'Clock. The death of First Vice Presi-
dent arrange, which occurred May TO-
1909, also was due to an affection of the
heart.
Former Minister Here.
President Obalda was elected July H.
1908. He had before acted as the chief
executive during the absence of Presi-
dent Amador. He was formerly min
lister to the United States. He was born
sixty-three years ago and was son of
former President Obaldia of Colombia.
During his incumbency as acting presi-
dent he became very popular, and he as
sumed office in October, 1903. under most
favorable auspices In politics he had al
ways been conservative, but at the time
ceived the support of the liberals as well
as that of his own partisans.
News of the death of President Obaldia
was received at the Panaman legation here
within five minutes after the charge
d'affaires had received a cablegram direct
from Nine. Obaldia, saying her hus-
band was improved in health and on the
road to recovery. Nine. Obaldia's
cablegram was in reply to messages of
encourageme sent from the legation
Monday.
President Sends Condolences.
President Taft has sent the following
telegram of coincidence to Sonora Obaldia
Mrs. Taft and extend to you our sin
cere sympathy IN your great less. The
friendship between us and your good hus-
band, begun a number Of years ago,
has continued down to the present time,
and the news of his death comes with a
great shock. He was a true patriot, an
impartial administrator. gentleman of
the highest courage, character and cul-
ture. a charming companion and a con-
slant friend. May the memory Of his
virtue sustain you in your deep sorrow"

Padding Causes Recounts.

Several western cities were accused
Of padding, and recounts were ordered.
The most conspicuous cases were those
of Seattle, Tacoma and one other city
in Washington. Portland, Ore; Fort
Smith, Ark, and some others were
also involved. Reductions were made
by the recounts, and few enumer.
ators were arrested. The reverse proc.
ess occurred in Atlantic City, N. J

showing was too small, and a recount
showed slight increase.

The Bostonians claim that the cen.

Boston, as tberd is a greater New

that true rating can only be given

There are many other cities that
would considerably augment their pop
ulation by little expansion. The case
of San Francisco, Oakland and Berke.
ley has already been mentioned. Like
wise Omaha and South Omaha prac-
tlcally constitute one city. If the two
were Joined together they would have
150,097 instead of the 124,096 given to
Omaha now. The cities In northern
New Jersey would be most affected by
consolidation, however. Thus Eliza
beth, the Oranges and several smaller
villages contiguous to Newark would
give the metropolis of New Jersey
more than half million. Bayonne,
Hoboken, West Hoboken and several
other towns are really continuation
of Jersey City. If these were added
the total population would run a close
second to the greater Newark.
