900 we're sold the other day for $500
each. Figured upon the price paid
for the stock the market valuation OF
the company would be nearly s14,000,-
900. This Is not surprising In view OF
the fact that the company has for
number Of years paid a regular divl-
dend OF $3.50 on each 81 1000 share,
with additional extra dividends at ir-
regular intervals.
Every year scientists travel to some
remote region OF the earth's surface
to find some new animals or plants
not yet known to science. Judging
from recent experience 1t would seem
that the biologists do not need to go
to Central Africa to find new animal
species; they may find them much
nearer home. A few days ago q
strange animal, which had terrorized
the residents Of Whites Pond, up
State, all summer and autumn, was
killed by hunter in that locality. Ac-
cording to the description the animal
had length Of seven feet and was
powerful enough to carry Off young
sheep and pigs. The biologists Of
that region have carefully examined
the animal but have not been able to
identify It.
The sad end of an old man in New
ark the other night will undoubtedly
furnish strong argument to fatalists.
The old man, who lived an hermit's
life in an old shanty on the outskirts
Of the town, imbibed little too free
ly that fatal evening. On his way
home he stumbled and fell and If
some neighbor had not found him in
the nick of time and taken him to his
shack, he would have been frozen to
death In short time. Scarcely an
hour later the neighbors noticed that
fire had broken out in the shanty.
They hastened to the isolated shack
and tried to put out the fire by throw
ing snow on it. The fire department
was notified, but when the engines
arrived the hovel was only smould-
ering heap. The body of the old man
was found in the debris. He had
been burned to death scarcely one
hour after having been saved from
death by freezing.
There is great excitement among
the numerous Russian anarchists and
nihilists in this city over the arrival
of an anonymous letter from Russia,
stating that certain we'll known spy
and agent of the Russian secret police
left Russia for New York a short time
ago and is probably hidden somewhere
in this city. There are enough Rus
SLAMS with an extremely bad con-
science in this city to make the arriv-
al of a reputed spy of the Russian po-
lice rather portentous event for
them. The ferrets of the local branch
of the Russian revolutionists are work
ing hard to ascertain the whereabouts
of the alleged spy, but they have not
yet been able tC find out where he is
keeping himself in hiding and the OBJ
ject of his arrival.

That the shares of some private cor

AN INNOCENT VICTIM.

Broken Heart.

Broken Heart.
The grossest injury which Dickens
ever inflicted on fellow being was
his too accurate portrait Of an lnno-
cent man in his Squeers. That York
shire schoolmasters were as a rule,
cruel and wicked enough it is true, but
the particular schoOlmaster who was
recognized and who recognized him
self as the original Squeers seems to
have been an exception TO the rule.
1t will be remembered that Dickens
and his illustrator travelled together
to the north OF England for the pur-
pose Of collecting material for Mick
leby" and especially for the Dothe-
boys episode. At Great Bridge they
visited u boarding school known as
Bowes academy. The master. William
Shaw, received the strangers with
some hauteur and did not as much as
withdraw his eyes from the operation
OF penmaking during the interview.
Phiz sketched him In the act; Dick
ems described the act. The personal
pecularltles OF William Shaw were
recognized in SQueers. Shaw became

led astray on the subject and refuses

TRIAL OF sEYLER
Accused Of Numbering Jane Adams
At Atlantic City.

Atlantic City May 24.-Unwonted
hustle and activity about the ancient
court house at Mays Landing, N. j.,
yesterday betokened important hap
penings for the usually quiet COM
munity. William T. Seyler was called
to trial on the charge of numbering
eighteen-year-old Jane Adams, and a
definite solution OF the mystery sur
rounding the girls death was expect
antly awaited.
With its customary swiftness, Jer-
sey justice was expected to move
speedily Through the selection of a
jury to try the married man accused
of doing to death the girl whom he
accompanied to the pier on the ocean
front OF this city on the night of Feb
4 last and whose body, bruised and
/ frozen, came ashore more than a
week later on the beach below. 1t
was indicated by Prosecutor Golden
burg that his outline of the case
against Seyler would show what he
considered strong chain of circum-
stantial evidence, that the prisoner
was directly responsible for the girls
death. He expected to be able to
combat successfully the contention of
Edmund G.. Gaskell, the prisoners
counsel, that Miss Adams fell acct
IDENTIFY from the edge of the pier and
that when she came in contact with
the frame work under the pier she
sustained the wounds about her head
found when the body was washed up
on the beach. The salient fact re-
garding the alleged crime, chiefly
brought out by the story of Alice AID.
ans, sister of the dead girl, show
first that Jane and Alice Adams ac
companied William Seyler and his
brother Oryis to a concert on the
ocean pier. The quartette, according
to Alice, watched the dancing and
listened to the music for time and
then went TO the dimly lighted fan
end of the pier. Alice and Orvis
left the other two there Jane AID
ans was not afterwards seen alive.
When search for the girl begar
and Jane Adams mother went to The
Seyler home and demanded to know
where her daughter was, Seyler wal
reported to have said that he left tn,
girl at the pier. The Seyler brothers
disappeared the next day but OF
February l6 were found and arreste,
in Petersburg, Va. William Seyle
was held on charge of murder an,
Oryis was detained as a witness. Sey
Ter has stQutly maintained that tn,
girls death was the result OF an &C
cident and that the only reason h,
ran away was because he becaml
momentarily unneryed when Mrs
Adams accused him of knowing
where her daughter was.

New Trial is Ordered

the motion for new trial i'm the case
Of Clyde Hayden. assignee, VS.. the
Chicago Navigation company. This
was an action brought by Attorney
Hayden of Escanaba to recover for
wages which n sailor claimed to be
due. The sailor had signed for an en-
tire trip with one of the lake boats,
and he deserted the boat when ii
reached Escanaba. Attorney A. H.
Ryall, representing the defendant
company, insisted that the sailor had
forfeited his wages by deserving the
boat, and presented law in support of
his contention. At the trial Of the
case last October Judge Cooper decid
