DIED—HIS LIFE
Xcw York. Sept. 23. —Samuel Sloan,
chairaum of the board of directors of
the LV!.;ua;\\ Lackawanna and West
ern It;!ilroad and ex-president of the
mi'!, via* has .iust died at his summer
honv at Garrison-on-the-Hudson, spent
jit of his X' years of life in active
railroad work and only ceased to be en-
in it a short time before his
death.
la his long career he joined force
atone time or another with men whose
nanus were conspicuous in the finan
cial history ol' Now York. At one time
or another he was directly associated
with J;.y Gould, Russell Sage, Commo
tlcn. Yaiuierbilt and others, and he
OUT liv;■. 1 thoni all and was still at work
long after a second, and in the case of
the Yanderbilts, even a third genera
tion, had succeeded the men with
whom lie had been associated.
Mr Chum's interests were large, but
he will always be remembered for his
presidency o£ the Lackawanna. It was
a rela'ive!y unimportant road when he
lis head, Kit he built it up un
lil it.- stuck sold higher than that of
any other railroad in the country.
Ik was a iv.au of marked character
istics. Nut the least of these was hh>
sturdy I'ifsbytei ianisni. It was he who
made the Lackawanna conspicuous
during his administration because of
its having no Sunday trains.
"1 \v uld not work myself on Sun-1
•lay," was his explanation, "and I do I
nut see why the men under me should
lie made to work on Sunday." 1
Vacations were unknown to the head
of tin Lackawanna road. It was not
that he \\;;.s opposed to them, but he
said; • j was too busy when I first
v.i nt to work keeping mv job to have
any tim« tor vacations and later I was
100 y with my work to take any."
He ]'t »-lied what he did not prac
• in this respect, however, for he
told yoiHit inen that vacations were a
mo l'Tii improvement which they ought
to make full nse of. 1
Mr. Sle;in l clieved firmly also that
good work had its reward. "Any young
feu oi f;iir ability," lie said a few
J tars a'jij, "who is honest and indus

STREET CAR SERVICE CRIPPLED.
Lightning Does Much Damage to
Street Railway Civic League
Meets.
Greensboro, N. C., Sept. 23. —Mr.
T. Gilbert Pearson, who has just re
turned from a trip in the southeastern
section of the state in the interest of
the Audubon Society, says that at
every point he had reports of fine
prospects for fall hunting. Without
exception the quail crop is fine. He
says there is no doubt that the bet
ter observance of the protection
game laws in the past few years has
much to do witn the abundance of
game.
The street car company here, it
seems could not help from" having
such inadequate service for the past
ten days. Lightning burnt out some
very material fixtures at the power
house, and the delay in getting it
remedied was owing to the impossi
bility of getting shipments from a
distant point where the fixtures had
to be made. A rush express order
was sent and things will be in bet
ter shape after today.
The Civic League Carnival at Lind
ley Park last week proved a great
success. Nearly $5OO will be realized
for the benefit of league work and
improvements, and the whole city has
been awakened to renewed interest
in civic league work, and admiration
for the unselfish civic service of mem
bers of this excellent organization.
SURRY'S FINANCES IMPROVING.
Mt. Airy, N. C., Sept. 23—Lee
Burns, charged with shooting at G.
Y. Nichols in this city on the night
of the ISth inst., gave bond for his
appearance at court and was discharg
ed.
The series of sermons being preach
ed nightly at Central Methodist
Church are of a high order, and the
great pity is that these able ser
mons are not heard by more people.
Prof. Shippe informs your corres

already been'enrolled at the graded
schools in Mt. Airy. A large num
ber of girls and boys will come in
next week and from time to time
during the next few weeks until per

end of the first month. The outlook
for the education of the boys and

Guilford Boy Wins Honors.
Greensboro, N. C., Sept. 23. Col.
Joe Hardie, of Brown Summitt, one
of the best fanners in the county, re
ceived news today that his son,
Phillip, had been one of a class of
five to successfully pass examination
at Charleston for a position of civil
engineer in the United States Naval
Service. This promising young man
recently was given an examination
for physical development and was
th« only one out of a class of 60
who was rated at 100. When asked
why so successful a farmer should
give his boy to other work, Col. Har
die philosophically said, "I have two
other boys who will make good farm
ers. Phil will make good at his
chosen profession, because it is con
genial to him and he never spared
himself in preparing for it." Next
month Col. Hardie will visit his
old home in Scotland, his first visit
there in many years. Mrs. Hardie
has been there all summer and will
return in December with her hus
band.
Interstate Fair at Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 23. —A great
display of the agricultural and other
resources of Missouri, Kansas, Ok
lahoma, Indian Territory, lowa and
other States of this section is the
most striking feature of the first an
nual interstate fair which opened
at Elm Ridge Park today. A
amount of money has been spent in
the erection of exhibition buildings,
the'securing of attractions, and the
improvement of the grounds and
race track. The management expects
fully half a million visitors during
the thirteen days of the fair, the
last few days of which will include
the annual fall festivities under the
auspices of the Priests of Pallas.
"ROBERT FULTON 1
DAY" OBSERVED
ST EXPOSITION
Norfolk, Va., Sept. 23. —Elaborate
and beautiful ceremonies marked to
day's observance of "Robert Fulton
Day" at the Jamestown exposition.
While the exercises were unler the
direction of the exposition officials,
added prominence was given by the
participation of the Robert Fulton
Monument Association.
Th« orator of the day was Martin
W. Littleton, of Brooklyn.
The exercises, which were held in
the auditorium, were interspersed with
a program by the consolidated exposi
tion bands.
R. Fulton Cutting, of New York,
was the chairman of the celebration
committee. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
president of the association, and Dr.
Samuel L. Clemmens came to James
town, each accompanied by a party of
guests. >,
A spectacular feature of the cele
bration was the typical representation
of what the inventions of Robert Ful
ton have meant to the world.
It was an assembling in Hampton
Roads, just off the exposition grounds,
of every sort of craft propelled by
steam.
The vessels, of all sizes and descrip
tion, all ablaze .with flags and buntings
formed a marine parade which was
reviewed by the guests from the decks
of the visiting yachts.
Norfolk, Va., Sept. 23—The Ma
•ine started several miles east of Old
Point Comfort in toward the Chesa
peake Bay and proceeded through
Hampton Roads to the mouth of the
Elizabeth river, where the vessels
turned and at Old Point Comfort dis
persed.
Luncheon to the distinguished
guests followed at Island Inn.
The exercises of the day were call
ed to order by Robert Fuiton Cutting
in a brief address which concluded
with an introduction of Mark Twain,
as chairman and master of ceremon
ies. Fallowing the remarks by the
chair and preceding the oration by
Littleton there were addresses by
president Tucker of the exposition;
Lieutenant Governor Ellyson of Vir
ginia.
Meeting of Cotton Seed Men.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 23. —Pur-
suant to the recent call of President
L. A. Ransom, of the International
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association, the
members of the association and a
number of representatives of trans
portation companies assembled for a
special meeting in this city today to
devise means to remedy certain ad
verse conditions on the shipping and
delivery of cotton seed meal at for
eign ports.
Recent consular reports on the sub
ject of tlio handling of cotton seed
meal abroad and the special reports
of the Government agents indicate
that the poor methods of handling
and delivery form one of the chief
causes for the frequent claims for
reclamation and rebates from for
eign buyers upon southern mills. The
association proposes to do all in
its power to check this condition for
the general benefit of the trade.

New Custom House Opened.
New York, Sept. 23. —The magnifi
cent new United States custom house
recently completed near the foot of

the new building, this feature of Ilia
exercises being conducted under the
auspices of the Grand Army of the Re
public. Many army and navy veterans,
United States officials and representa
tives of the state and city were in at

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu

TRIAL OF MRS.
BLAIR TO OIFFEO
FROM THE FIRST
It is Likely That Case Will
Be Gone Into More
Thoroughly And New
Features Will Mark Hear
ing.
Handsome Widow Bearing
Up Well Under The Strain
—Points That Will Prob
ably Be Made In New
Trial Next February.
Columbia, Sept. 23. —The action of
Special Judge George Johnstone in
granting to Mrs. Ethel W. Blair a
new trial on after-discovered evidence
has renewed interest in the sensa
tional case, interest that lias lagged
for hardly a day since the trial began.
The case will come up for trial again
at the February term of court and
Mrs. Blair will within a few days be
released on bond for her appearance
at that time.
Discription of Mrs. Blair.
Though she swoomed when the ver
dict was announced and again when
the new trial was announced, Mrs.
Blair is looking remarkable well.
She is a woman of robust figure and
full proportions, with a very pretty
face and strikingly blazing black eyes,
speaking intelligence and fire. A
daughter of a clergyman, she was evi
dently reared in refined surroundings.
That she should be accused of murder
of her husband, and that a jury
should believe her guilty of taking his
life in sudden heat and passion,
makes the case a notable one.
The defense of Mrs. Blair at the
trial was that her husband was ad
dicted to the use of a patent medicine
containing opium in order to relieve
the pain caused by a tumor in his
stomach and that when under the in
fluence of this drug he quarrelled
with her about money matters and
the fatal encounter occurred, she
and her husband struggling for the
pistol, which was discharged in the
struggle and inflicted the mortal
wound.
The New Evidence.
The after-discovered evidence is
merely to the effect that two reputa
ble citizens, Col. Henry T. Thompson
and Rev. T. T. Walsh, saw Blair when
he admitted being under the influ
ence of some such drug. However,
he was addicted to the use of this
medicine was not denied by the prose
cution at any Stage of the trial ami'
is not likely to be denied at the
next trial.
The testimony, though, may be used
by the prosecution to again contradict
Mrs. Blair's own story of the shooting.
These two gentlemen say Blair was
dazed or stupid when seen on his
train that day; at the inquest Mrs.
Blair said the drug made Mr. Blair
stupid and sleepy but at the trial she
said it made liini wild.
The Next Trial.
The next trial or Mrs. Blair is apt
to be very different from this one
that has just been set aside. Solicitor
Timmerman allowed himself to be per
suaded to go into this trial on Sat
urday morning with the prospect of
finishing the case that day and a.s u
consequence of the hurry which the
trial was conducted neither the pros
ecution nor the defense put up all
its witnesses and the case was not
fully developed. The defense seemed
to expect a quick acquital, as did the
spectators, and the verdict of man
slaughter was a surprise all around.
The defense will doubtless now
strengthen its case and bring out all
the testimony that can be secured
favorable to the plea of accidental
homicide.
Theory as to Guilt.
The theory of those who hold to the
guilt of Mrs. Blair is that there was
no struggle between her and her hus
band before the shot was fired; that
Mr. Blair was sitting on the trunk, by
the window, in their bedroom when
she shot him and that after the shot
was fired he jumped up and strug
gled with her for the pistol, being
seen at this time by Mr. Woouwaru,
who rushed to the house on hearing
the pistol fire. In his dying declara
tion Mr. Blair told Dr. Knowlton ex
plicitly that there had been no strug
gle but a quarrel between himself
and Mrs. Blair about Conductor Arms
when she shot him.
The prosecution will now attempt
no doubt to secure confirmation of
this by other testimony and it has
been stated that a reputable witness
to this fact has been located.
Hard Fight Expected.
At any rate it is certain that the
next trial of Mrs. Blair will be longer
and harder fought than the first. The
common report is that only one juror
believed her innocent and that the
others were in favor of a more severe

Mitchell's Corn Palace.
Mitchell, S. D., Sept. 23.—The
wealth and abundance of the corn
orop in South Dakota are illustrated
in the annual Corn Palace exhibi

The exhibition partakes of the nature
of a fall carnival and this year the
display of products eclipses all of
those seen in former years. In ad
dition to the exhibits in the Corn
Palace the attractions of the week
include Sousa's Band and a variety
of free street attractions.

time for festivity and rejoicing.
| Cured Hay Ffcvcr and Summer Cold.
A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville. Indiana,
writes: "Last year I suffered for
three months with a summer cold so
distressing that it interfered with my
business. I had many of the sym
toms of hay fever, and a doctor's
prescription did not reach the case,
and I took several medicines which
seemed to only aggravate my case.
Fortunately I insisted upon having
Foley's Honey and Tar in the yellow
package, and it quickly cured mc. My
wife has since used Foley's Honey

George Siler Benefit Tonight.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 23. —Tonight is to
be a gala night in fistic circles. Top
notch lighters in every class o£ the
present day and champions of a decado
ago are to don the mitts in the Coli
seum in friendly bouts in aid of the
benefit to George Siler, one of the
greatest authorities in the world of pu
gilism and whose efforts have done
much to raise boxing to its present
high standard among sports.
Mr. Siler is sixty-one years old and
has announed his permanent retire
ment from all connection with the fight
ing game. He leaves behind him a rec
ord that has few equals. It was away
back in the latter part of the '6o's that
he first entered the ranks of profes
sional pugislim, boxing at 112 pounds.
In 1872 he starred in exhibition bouts
in New York, touring the country with
Billy Madden later. In 1574 he won
the lightweight championship after
meeting all comers. He quit the ring
as a boxer in 1881 and turned his at
tention to refereeing. He has probably
officiated in more important ring bat
tlcs than any other living man. His
principal appearances were as referee
in the Corbett-Fitzsimmons bout and
the battles between Jeffries and Fitz

was 474,019 out of 972,500 shares,
which were distributed to certain
stockholders .including John D. Rocke

Flagler, H. H. Rogers and fourteen
other stockholders. Tilford said he
did not know. Kellogg said he pur

injunction of the court preventing the
voting of trustees certificates, these
trustees liquidated a sufficient amount
of trustees certificates for the ma

Trophy Defense
To be Expensive
New York, Sept. 23. —Preparation for
the defence of America's cup has been
begun by the New York Yacht Club.
At least one syndicate is being organiz

trophy, and there may be a second,
perhaps more. There seems to be only
one opinion as to the management of
the defender. Every one appears to
agree that it will be vested in E. D.
