smashing her face and cutting the deep
wound which. surgeons declared, would
alone have caused her death.
II was learned today that there is a
difference of opinion among the authori-
ties whether the death of Jane Adams
was accidental, suicide murder. While
the coroner did not say so, the impression
was gained after a talk with him that he
does not believe the girl was murdered.

Appieby. the young operator of the wire

a few yards of the spot where 1t lis be-
lieved the girl fought for her life. was
taken by the police early this morning.
Applehys testimony that he saw a man
and girl peering into the window of his
shelter just before the time when the
Adams girl was last seen, may add an
important link to the chain of circum-
stantial evidence against William Seyler.

an acute stage this afternoon when mer

Amalgamated Association. in a statement
says that 200 members of the organiza-

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J.. February 10
At the end of. a night OF gruelfng exami-
nation. conducted in the city jail. William
Seyler suddenly declared at daylight that
he had not been with Jane Adams on the
night of February A. when the eighteen
year-old girl met her tragic death
Armed with the admission of Orvis Sey-
Ter. the brother accused of being an ac-
cessory to the crime, that he knew that
William was with the girl on the pier,
the police were still unable to force the
accused man TO acknowledge to have even
been with the girl or to have been en-
gagged in the struggle with her of which
her sister Alice tells.
The police now believe that the nan's s
mind is relieved by the fact that he es-
capped attack by the mob gathered at the
station when he arrived last night. He
appears to be even cheerful as he parties
every adroit question.
Prosecutor Goldenberg and his assist
ant, Arthur G. Bolte. have both been
summoned. Further examination of Sey-
Ter will be conducted with their assist
ance.
Mrs. Seyler Watches Jail All Night.
Refused admission to the jail in which
her husband and his brother were con-
fined, Mrs. William Seyler, wife of the
accused man, spent the entire night In
the neighborhood of the Jail and was one
of the crowd of score or more which
hung around until morning and watched
the lights in the Jail building, while the
detectives tried to wiring from Seyler the
story of what happened on the lonely
pier the night when Jane Adams met
her death.
-Seylers wife has also been subjected
to close questioning. She was examined
particularly as to her married life.
A wife cannot be compelled to testify
against her husband, but II Mrs Seyler
had told the police that she had not been
married to the prisoner she would have
been called as a witness to tell what
occurred after Seyler returned home
the night he visited the pier with Jane
Adams. Mrs. Seyler, however, indignant
ly denied alleged reports that she was
not Seyier's legal wife.
Mrs. Seyler called at the police sta
ton last night to see her husband, but
was not permitted to talk to him. Sey-
Ter heard her voice and called out to the
captain of detectives to let her come to
his cell.
This is shame he shouted. My
children were sick when I went away.

FORTUNE IN ALFALFA
Moving Of The Big Crop on The Rap

Commissioner Of Agriculture Geo
w. Koiner witnessed the beginning of

crop. an institution which will bring 70
its owner a fortune in year At the
invitation Of Capt. J. +. Jack. Mr.
koiner will go to Port Conway. in King
George county. and take look at Capt.
Jacks money-making machine.
Last year total of /, 200 tons was
raised and sold for price of SIS, 900.
This year large acreage has been de-
voted 10 this crop, and it is confidently
expected that the returns will mount a
good deal higher.
1t is pointed out by the Agricultural
Department that the experience of
Capt. Jack disproves the idea that
alfalfa will flourish only on a high alti-
tude. His farm can evidently be only a
few feet above the sea level. situated,

ant word or too, transact the business

On the farms one enjoys seeing the
fields of green wheat, the red clover
bloom, the sweet smelling earth as il
is turned over by the plough of the
husbandman, the grazing cattle and the
sleek horses at work, and to note the
signs of thrift everywhere; and 10 find
the farmers SO cheerful and hopeful
over the good prices they are getting
for their products.
Lands in the district are rapidly in
creasing in value. 100 acres, in three
miles of Bowling Green. sold for SO, 900.
200 acres, two miles Off, sold for s., 600,
and 1873 acres poor land, two miles off,
for 1880. The good prices of tobacco
has had much to do with this.
The Almighty has given Caroline
soil which. when intelhgently and liber-
ally fortified with COW peas, crimson
clover and other leguminous plants
and commercial fertilizer. produces the
famous sun cured tobacco, than which
there is nothing better. Instead of
raising six or eight hundred pounds to
the acre, the best farmers make from
fifteen hundred to two thousand pounds,
the average price of which is about fif-
teen dollars per hundred. Surely there
is money, and big money at that, in the
business. 1t seems to me that if CAPT
talists would organize a million dollar
company and use the latest and best
implements and fertilize literally, they
might raise and manufacture the plant
and make handsome profits.
