Is Wrecked.

Atlantic City July l0.--Harry At
wood and Charles Hamilton escaped
FERROUS injury from a fall from q
height OF seventy ave feet as they
started off on their trip to Washing
COL
Engine trouble, which impaired the
lifting power of Hamilton's biplane,
dropped them to the meadows back of
VeEtnor City, swapping off both pro-
pellers, twisting the. standards and
smashing the tail and. landing shafts.
Both ayiators were badly shaken up,
but were otherwise uniniured.
They had intended flying at day
light. To avoid delay by high tide

Inspection of the engine showed
something to be wrong when they
reached the aerodrome. For three
hours they tinkered with the machin-
cry. Then thew tried to start. The
engine wouldn't perform. They tin

When they inspected the engine af-

ground ON the very tip of its rudder,
tearing away the connecting rods to

Hamilton received the biggest

Of living Is no myth. An investigation
by the bureau of labor of the prices OF
wholesale prices were 4 per cent high
or than in 900 and 46 per cent above
the average OF 1907, which was the
year OF highest prices since 1890.
In view of the Canadian reciprocity
discussion, an interesting item in the
bureau report shows that the whole
sale prices of farm products were rs
per cent higher Ia 1910 than in 1909.
Wholesale prices in 1910 were 191
per cent higher than in 1900, 47.6 per
cent higher than in 1897 (which was
the year of lowest prices between
1890 and 1910, 1915 per cent higher
than 1890 and .3l.6 per cent higher
than the average high prices between
1880 and 1899
The highest prices in this decade
were reached in October, 1907, when a
general decline began, which contin-
ued until August, 1908, A rise then
set in. and there were moathly in
creases, without break, up to March,
1910, when wholesale prices reached
the highest point in twenty years.
They were then oil per cent higher
than the average of 1900, 492 per cent
higher than the yearly average of
1897 and 1873 per cent higher than the
average prices of ten years between
1890 and 1899.
Then followed a slight decline, and
from June to December, 1910, prices
remained nearly level and at the close
of the calendar year 1910 they were
still 10 per cent higher than the ten
year average between 1890 and 1900
and asa per cent higher than the rec
ord set by the low price year, 1897.
OF the 257 commodities considered
in the investigation, 14S showed an
averaeg increase, &c showed no change
and SO showed decreases.
Prices of lumber and building ma
terials increased 1917 per cent; farm
products. Is per cent; drugs, Al per
cent: foodstuffs, 80 per cent: cloth
ing, 81 per cent, and the misce,lan-
eous group of commodities, ST per
cent. House furnishings decreased OIL

Some extraordinary variations were
recorded in 1910. Potatoes increased
300 per cent; eggs. 80 per cent; mess

PARK At AAGERSTOWN
WILL STAY CLOSED
Sheriff Barber Has His Say Since

there and he will see that the Park
remains closed. That settles that. He
noted that the cars were carryin &

will keep all things shut up.
The creditors had hopes that they
could keep up interest and keep open
AID soon running the Park on
their own hook and try to get some
money back. The attachments will
have to be dismissed first and they
are few and poor.
A serious phase developed for some
other people today. There is talk of
suits against the original promoters

Preszburg on the ground that cannot
be passed over to be paid by some
one else unless the creditors assent.
How much of the work was owed for

people on their part contend they

1t was also stated by one of the
creditors that he had gotten IN touch
with Preszburg and the latter is max
ing arrangements to return and slice
up a big wad and resume specie pay
