Pensacola, Fla, June 17.-Having barely escaped with their lives, the crew of the auxiliary yacht Water Boy of Pensacola reached here today and reported the sinking of their vessel in six fathoms of water in the Gulf of Mexico yesterday as the result of a boiler explosion.

JURY TRIUMPHS

St I.ouis. December 15.-The "strik- ing jury" in Judge Withrows' court triumphed today when it returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the Me- Dermott will case, which was contrary to the instructions of the judge deliv- cred four days ago and which the judge had to accept. The court announced, however, that on the motion of either side the verdict could be set aside. The jury was discharged.
 Mrs Mary Harrington had sued the Rev. Father John White, eXecutor of the estate of her mother, charging that he had exercised undue influence over Mrs McDermott. The court held that Insufficient evidence had been intro- duced by the plaintiff and Tuesday or dered the jury to return verdict for rhe defendant. This the 12 men re- fused to do saying they would stand on their rights as American citizens
 After the jury had rendered it's yer dict the judge sent for law books, and, addressing the foreman of the jury, said:
 "Gentlemen, although your verdict is in violation of the orders of this court under the rulings of the supreme court It becomes my duty to accept 1t. Upon motion of either party--the plaintiff or the defendant--the verdict will be set aside and new trial ordered. The jury is discharged"

VETERANS WROUGHT UP OVER DISMISSAL Of Soldier From BeauvOir Because He Refused to
 Speak to Governor

Meridian. December 15.-(Special.)- The Confederate veterans and many of their friends in this section are con sidcrahly wrought up over the dis missal of a soldier by the name of Lenard from the Old Soldiers Home at Beauvoir, Miss; some time ago by Col J. K. Mosby the superintendent, be- cause Lenard refused to speak to Gov ernor Noel, who was on a visit to the home. Lenard has been upheld by many throughout the state and vet erans of this county have been out spoken in their views on the subject
 Governor Noel while in Washington few days ago was interviewed on the matter, but stated that he had no responsibility in the matter and that when he visited the Old Soldiers Home that all of the soldiers treated him cor dially with .he single exception of Lenard. It is stated that after the incident Lenard was publicly rebuked for his conduct and told that such was not allowed i'll the home. He was dismissed from the Soldiers Home at Vicl<sburg for assaulting a fellow in mate with a brick.
 "I suspect that Lenard connected me in some way with his dismissal, said the governor at Washington. After he refused to shake hands with me at Beauvoir l wrote to the officer in charge of the annex at Vicksburg and from him l was informed of Lenard S conduct and the reason for his dis missal I had nothing to do with it."

Junius Hill who, 10 days ago stood in his patch of corn in Sand Valley Ala, a boy 16 years old, with the forest of corn towering six feet above his head, instructed scores of his neigh bors. men grown gray with the task of farming, in the art of growing 200 bushels to the acre. He is the same boy.

Because you must realize that 10 days ago. before Prof. J. B. Hobdy of the Auburn Boys Corn club department, f1und him, and before the citizens of Gadsden decided to send him to Washington, Junius had never been on railroad train; he had never seen a street car and probably not an electric light. When Professor Hobdy took him to his first moving picture show in Birmingham he arose and shouted in his wonder at the beauty and strangeness of that unfamiliar sight. In a word, Junius had lived in Sand Valley all his life, and he knew nothing of town. In a voice full of awe he said to his guide in Birming- ham the other day:
 T didn't know there were so many things in the world"
 Now he is in Washington, shaking hands with the President and being lauded as great man. And. when 1t comes to that. he is, because he can

Bradstreet's Review

New York, December 15.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Two conditions feature the weeks trade news-active holiday trade at most lead ing points and the undeniably better un- dertone in iron and steel Trade in other lines has receded little. A general sur vey indicates the weather has been too mild for free distribution of seasonable goods at retail, the wholesale business re- fleets the influences of the inventory sea- son..
 Clearance sales of staple goods at retail are being pressed at an earlier date than usual. In the iron and steel lines ad- vanced prices on finished goods which in- creased operations resulting from very heavy orders booked are the features, ca pacity having expanded considerably at most points, saving the east. Profits, of course, are not satisfactory, but if prices are made attractive enough busi- ness can be done. As it is, prices on bars sheets and wire are higher but pig iron still sells at low figures. The buid- irg trades have been benefited by mild weather

 bushel. The Alabama men are backing
 the Alabama boys as the better farmers as their costs are less and their profits
 greater.
 Junlus Hill had no exhibit at the Boys
 Corn club show at the Montgomery fair.
 He failed to receive notice of the show,
 and did not get in his exhibit But when
 affidavts, signed by reputable and proved
 witnesses, came to Professor Duncan and
 Professor Hobdy at Auburn, telling of Junius' great yield. they decided to find
 the boy. They decided that he should go
 to Washington, too. But the funds pro-
 vided for only one representative from
 Alabamal therefore they appealed to the
 citizens of Gadsden, who responded with
 out dissent. Every man was ready to re-
 ward the boy for his wonderful work.
 The records are bona fde. Professor
 Hobdy assured himself of that fact. The witnesses whose names are attached to
 the affidavit were challenged and proved reliable; every ear of the boys corn was | weighed. The country school teaehefr | Ford Thompson, under whose insprationN l the boy worked testified to the results. Credit is due Professor Thompson hardly less than Junius, but Professor Thompson valves that.
 They took Junius to Gadsden. His wardrobe for the trip to Washington he wore. It WdS blue Snlll, u pair or trousers. stockings and shoes, That was all, inside and outside.
 They fitted him out in Gadsden, and Professor Hobdy says that when he was arrayed in his new glory he was good to look at.
 For one thing. his hair is red and red
 haired boy is never distasteful to the sight. Maybe the red hair is responsible
 for the corn yield. For another thing, Junius has a fine face. His 16-year-old | chin locks into his face, and his 16-year- old lips are glued together to show deter
 imitation. Junius Is a good man and his face shows it.
 From Gadsden they took him to Bir-
 mingham, where he wandered as in a dream land. Never had there been any thing like this in his philosophy. Now he is in Washington, with Kimbrough. the 224 bushel boy. Junius began his work of raising big corn crop only this year. Under the in- spiration of his school teacher, Professor Thompson, and under the guidance OF Professor Duncan's Boys club literature,
 he went tc work. He had good land that
 much was his to start with. He plowed deep, ten inches or more. Old Jess Hill
 plowed about or inches, and raised only
 one-fifth the crop that his son raised.
 Jess is going to watch the boy next year. Gadsden people are proud of Junius They lay a lot of the credit to Etowah
 soil, and they are right, to some extent. for Junus had a great soil to help him. | Then they lay a lot to the credit of the government instructions, and they are | right again, for Uncle Sam is doing well l by his farmer boys, and is careful with 1 them. He teaches them to do right. | But the farmers about Sand Valley and l Sand mountain give 1t all to the boy. and they are more nearly right than tho others. The neighbors come, hundreds of

 TRADE CONDITION Expansion in Bank Clear
 ings Noted THE HOLIDAY TRADE Each Week Serves to Emphasize the Pronounced Betterment in Iron
 and Steel-Coke in Bet
 ter Demand

New York, December 15.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Betterment In industrial and trade con- ditions is reflected by the expansion in bank clearings and railroad earnings, the big uplift In the iron and steel trade' the advance in copper, the Increased ac- tivity in dry goods, the brisker demand for money and in the confidence inspired by the record breaking cotton crop of upward of 100000 bales. The situation as the year draws to a close is so much more encouraging as to be the years most conspicuous development. The holiday trade is notably active in all the large cities. This retail activity, coupled with the unusually warm weather and the end of the year accounting operates to make wholesale operations slower. Improvement in iron and steel grows
 steadily, and is accompanied with ad- yances in prices. The outlook for the new year is exceedingly promising. In the dry
 goods trade the most notable development is the betterment in woolens and wor-
 steds. Silks are also stronger. Leather
 is dull, but prices are tirm
 Hides are weak.
 Each week serves to emphasize the pronounced betterment in iron and steel Operations at mills and furnaces are on an enlarged scale, and several plants, now idle will start again after the~close or thls month. The November statement or the United States Steel corporation was par ticularly favorable. Wire goods have ad- vanced $l per ton. Sheets are firmer. Bessemer and open hearth billets are stronger. Pig iron is more active. Spot furnace coke is in better demand, and has advanced cents ton. Following
 the heavy decrease in copper stocks last month they have advanced to within a fraction of II ceats.
