KNIFE WIELDER
PLEADS NOT GUILTY
From fridays Daily.

An information was lodged against
John Downs in the Superior Court
yesterday on the charge of assault
with a deadly weapon, to which the
accused pleaded not guilty, and his
trial was set for July /.
This criminal proceeding had its
inception in the Manhattan Club of
this city, a rendezvous for certain
colored residents, located on Granite
street, in the second story of a
brick building. The trouble was said
to have started over a game of black
jack, and was resumed later in the
quarters, when Downs was shot by
the keeper of the place, receiving
a slight flesh wound. While the
fracas was under Roadway, Downs
is alleged to have used his knife,
cutting colored man named Luther
Blake in the body, as we'll as rip
ping his clothes at six different
placed. All the men wounded in the
fracas have recovered. Downs is
held in the county Jail, being unable
to provide security.
Probate Matters.
Matters in probate occupied the
rest of the session. The application
of P. s. Wren, OF Constellation, for
letters of administration on the es-
tate of A. NJ. Cameron, deceased,
will be heard on July H.
A loan of $500 was authorized
10 be made TO c. H. Kunselman
and wife out of the funds of the
estate of Margaret Sarah Devine, a
minor.
Notice to creditors was ordered
published in the matter of the estate
of Barbara Dorcey, deceased.

from these figures that our meat
exports are not only larger than
those of any other country but
actually exceed the aggregate OF our
five principal rivals. The fall in our
exports of meats and food animals,
which has characterized recent years,
has occurred chiefly in beef; pork
products, always an important factor
in the meat exports, show but a
slight reduction.
The United States still has, despite
the reduction in her live stock in
recent years, a larger number OF
food animals than any other country
of the world. OF cattle alone, the
number in the United States is So
million, the only country having a
larger number being India, with ll3
million, while Russia in Europe and
Asia has 81 million; Argentina, %
million; Brazil, Is million; Germany,
II million; and the United Kingdom,
IL million. These figures are in
round terms and for the latest avail
able year. OF sheep, the United
States has 81 million; Australia, 81
million; Russia, IS million; Argen-
tina, 81 million; the United Kingdom,
80 million; India, 2o million; Uru-
quay, 20 million; and New Zealand,
"a million. OF swine, the United
States has 81 million; Russia, Is
million; and Germany, p million.
The total number of food animals
(including in this term merely cattle,
sheep and hogs) was, at the latest
available date, in the United States,
100 million; Russia in Europe and
Asia, 149 million; India, $40 million;
Australia, l04 million; Argentina, 90
million; Germany, 81 million; the
United Kingdom, 46 million; and
France, 80 million.

NEW YORK PILES UP
A BILLION DOLLAR DEBT

NEW YORK, June 26.-With the
statement of the Comptroller that
New York owes upward of 81 800
100000, Father Knickerbocker easily
becomes the greatest municipal
debtor in the world. Indeed his
Indebtedness is as great as the ma
tional debt.
Against this enormous indebted
ness Father Knickerbocker has IN
his Golfers about $302,0OO000 which
could be used toward paying off the
debt, and much interest has been
taken of late of possible plans by
which, if such a step became nee
essary, the remaining billion could
be taken care of. Among the most
ingenious is that of bridge tolls.
What the city has put into the spans
across the East river equals the
price paid by the United States for
all the land it has acquired by pur-
chase west OF the Mississippi river
In case of hard times or any I'M
expected demand for funds the city
could exact toll from the million
people who use these bridges every
udl. lNNNhhN II Allio SOhAN -
alone should be sufficient to pay off
the city's Indebtedness.
Another great asset is the real
estate which the city owns, its book
value at present amounting to nearly
$500,00O000. Much of this, of
course, is in longitudinal parkways
which total $4,000 feet in length or
about fifty-three miles. This great
stretch of parkways flanked by fine
roadways and walks if laid out along
the Hudson would stretch from this
city TO West Point, with a cost of
nearly Sl2,000,000. So while New
York's debt may at first seem stag
gering, Father Knickerbocker is by
no means on the verge OF bank
ruptcy. However, the size of these
figures is undoubtedly largely re-
sponsible for the increasing demand
for economy in the operation of the
city, which promises to be an i'm
portant factor in the campaign next
Fall.

UNITED STATES is
GREATEST MEAT EXPORTER

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The
total value of meats and food ami
mails entering international trade is,
according TO the latest figures Of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department of Com
merce, approximately $50 million
dollars per annum, of which about
one-third is from the United States,
and consists chiefly of pork and FORK
products.
While the total value of meat
products and food animals exported
from the United States in the year
which ends with this month will be
but about 80 million dollars, against
approximately $50 million in 1906,
this reduced total far exceeds that
of any other country. Meats and
food animals exported from Argen-
tina in 1912 amounted to but 81
million dollars in value; from Aus
tralia, in 1911, 81 million; from New
Zealand, II million; from Canada,
"A million; and from Uruguay, II

tries of the world. 1t will be seen

PIONEER WOMAN
HEEDS THE CALL
Of DEATH
(From Saturdays Daily)

From Saturdays Dally.)
Another respected pioneer woman
of Arizona, Mrs. Euphemia Tinker,
widow of the late George H. Tinker,
has been summoned TO the unknown,
her death occurring early Friday
morning, after an illness sf several
months from heart trouble.
This estimable woman had resided
in this city for over forty years,
coming from Tucson, where she was
married. She was affectionately
known to all in the early days for
the many kind and generous acts
extended, and her loss will be deep
ly deplored by those of the pioneer
colony. She was of Mexican parent
age, and her remains will be laid
away in this city later, and after

situation he placed his foot against
the side of the engine and with
nerve of steel braced himself and
began pulling his arm out OF the
wise that was pulling the rest of the
limb. into the mechanism. The sight
was a CHASTITY one as this engineer
walked to the room of his assistant
with the arm hanging by few
shreds of flesh, and utterly mashed
into a pulp. The hand and arm had
passed through cog wheel of less
than quarter of an inch of play,
from which can be inferred the
frightful character OF the wounds
received.
Mr.. Ferguson enjoys a reputation
of being zone of the most careful
and capable of engineers, and the
unfortunate accident which overlook
him is not attributed to any care
lessness on his part whatever. He
was brought to the city before noon
and placed in Mercy hospital, his

sas, the death of George D. Phillips
occurred on farm near that city,
from being innoculated with gland
ers. He was taking care of a ia

ease, and in handling it, the belief

Mountain country, for his health,
and was also engaged in working a
copper and gold prospect. He was
aged about IS years and was single.
