Wliidi to Pay DVI'IM.
Cleveland, Jan. The following
statement, authorized by all parties
interested, was issued Thursday:
It became apparent some time ago
to some of the members of the Ever
ett-i.Moore syndicate, so called, that
on account of the tight money situ
ation in the different centers where
they were financing some of their
enterprises, and although in their
opinion they owned several million
dollars' worth of property over and
above their liabilities, they would be
unable without temporary assistance
tn meet their obligations which were
about to become due and the obliga
tions of some of the corporations
which were controlled by them. Many
of these obligations arose from tlio
fact that the syndicate were en
gaged in the construction of a num
ber of enterprises which were not
yet fully completed, requiring large
amounts of money to pay for labor
and materials in the construction.
The syndicate were also recently
disappointed in being unable to com
plete the negotiations for the rais
ing of a large sum of money upon
certain bonds and stocks belonging
to them which would have furnished
their properties over to a commit.-
gotiations they had reason to believe,
until ten days ago, would result
favorably.
Some of the members of the syndi
cate, when it became apparent to
them that many of their liabilities
which were coming due about the
first of January could not be met,
called together some of their person
al advisers to advise with them as
to what was best to be done.
These gentlemen examined very
fully into all of the affairs of those
composing the syndicate and were
furnished with complete information.
They found that there were, in
Cleveland upwards of:; 0 banks that
were their creditors, and that these
banks held the choicest of the securi
ties and the most equities.
Messrs. Everett and Moore stated
that they were willing to turn all
tneir properties over to a commit
tee that should be appointed to han
dle them in connection with them
selves to preserve the most equities,
with the belief that when their prop
erties were developed and creditors
paid there would be a substantial
amount to return to them.
To this end and with a view of ob
taining the attention of the gentle
men most experienced in such affairs,
and in whom the Cleveland parties
had entire confidence, and in the be
lief that all creditors living away
from Cleveland would have the same
confidence, the following" gentlemen
were chosen as a committee: 11. K.
Newcomb, Myron T. Ilerriek, .T. .1.
'Sullivan, ""-''ary Morris, Kaufman
Hays and li. . '""'Uotson.
At the meeting hi Yd at which
Everett and Moore were present more
than live-sixths of all the Cleveland
indebtedness was represented. The
parties attending the meeting ex
pressed themselves unanimously in
recommending to their institutions
that they should extend the indebted
ness of the Everett-Moore syndicate
and its allied interests for a period
not exceeding is months, conditioned
upon the committee named having
entire charge of all the affairs con
nected with the syndicate.
Toledo, Jan. 3. —The Everett-
Moore syndicate through the Matimee
Valley electric road, is the plaintiff
in three suits in th local courts in
which it seeks inje ~ to restrain
execution on three cognovit judg
ments in favor of King & Tracey for
$4,674.70, of the Toledo Loan Co., for
$13,036.83, and of the Ilolcomb na
tional bank for $18,526.87. The suits
are the starters of big litigation. The
allegations are sensational, alleging
fraud, conspiracy and double dealing.
It is claimed that King took out the
judgments while his partner, Tracev,
in his capacity as director was at
tending the meeting of the directors
and that the company had no notice
of the suit, though an alleged an
swer was filed on their behalf. King
& Tracey acted as attorneys for the
company and it is claimed in the pet i
tions were looking out for their own
interests rather than those of the
plaintiff.
The Parson-fjlicriflHs Work.
Portland, .Me., Jan. 3. —Rev. Pear
son, "the parson sheriff" of ('umber
land county, who has made great
efforts to enforce the state pro
hibitory law to the letter, has made
public his annual report on that par
ticular work, lie served 4,016 seizure
warrants and was successful with
927, took a total of!), 553 gallons of
liquor, and secured 296 convictions
out of r,:;~ arrests, with fines totuling
$3,890. Of 74 eases appealed, 39 con
victions were secured and the fines
thus collected netted $25,429.

(Leavenworth. Kan., Jan. 3.—A court
convened yesterday in the library of
the United States penitentiary, for
the arraignment of the ringleaders
of the mutiny of November 7, who
are implicated in the killing of Guard
Waldrupe. Every person in the court,
with one exception, was either a
United States officer or a prisoner.
The mutineers, 17 iu number, were
brought in, each wearing a ball and
chain, and five men were arraigned
on the charge of murder in the first
degree. Four others, who have not
yet been captured, are included in the
charge.
HORRORS OF THE CONGO.
CaniilbalM Are Km ployed to Kill the
Native*.
London, Jan. 3.—Capt. Guy Bur
rows, who has just retired from the
employment of the Congo Free State
government after six years' service,
declared in an interview yesterday
that the conditions prevailing in the
Congo Free State are a disgrace to
civilization, and far worse than ever
before. He pictured atrocities of the
most horrible character perpetrated
on the natives by officials and whites
who had concessions of rubber land.
As a typical instance of the means
employed by the Free State govern
ment, Capt. Burrows corroborated
the statement of an American mis
sionary to the effect that the officials
employed 500 cannibals, to whom they
issued rifles to "massacre and cap
ture unarmed natives who had re
belled against their brutal methods."
"1 have sworn testimony," said
Capt. Burrow s, "of the Belgians hand
ing over natives to cannibal tribes
for flu- express purpose of being
eaten. Forced labor prevails every
where and 'shotgun rule' is the tru
est description of the present ad
ministration. The companies deriv
ing wealth from the collection of
rubber are all more or less en
terprises, as a third or half the
shares in them are invariably held
by the government. Latterly King
Leopold and the government have
made some show of action against
the agents of some of the upper
Congo companies, but only minor of
ficials are ever touched and the so
called reforms are merely intended
to throw dust, in the eyes of the
public, whose indignation has been
aroused by the stories of this reign
of terror. While the present systems
for the collection of rubber and the
recruitment of natives continue, the
Congo Free ihiate will remain a dis
grace to the white man's work in
Africa."
WATER KILLS GERMS.
Interesting Statement Made l>y a 11!*-
consln Scientist to the Convention
ifl Chit-ago.
Chicago, Jan. 3.—According to bac
teriologists of the American Society
of Naturalists, some kinds of germs
have such an antipathy for water
that they actually commit suicide to
escape the Ilui<'. At Thursday's meet
ing of the society, it was proclaimed
as an established fact that water is
in itself an agent deadly to many
kinds of germs and that milk also
has destructive attributes within it
self.
I he information was brought out
by i'rof. 11. L. Russell, of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who read a
paper on"the toxicity of water to
ward certain pathogenic bacteria.' 1
I'rof. Uussell described the resulls of
experiments which proved, to his sat
isfaction, that toward some forms of
germ life water acts as a poison.
lie said also that the consequence
of the suicide of the bacteria in water
is the purification of the water. The
waste substances thrown off by the
lite processes of the germs form,
when in solution, poisons which de
stroy the germs that produced them.
President Sedgwick disagreed with
I'rof. Russell, but the latter was
upheld by Dr. Jordan, of the Uni
versity of Chicago.
An interesting point in regard to
heredity was brought up before
K. 1!. Meek and I'. W. Lufz. in a paper
on"the inheritance of color in point
ers" proved that the markings of
dogs could be traced to their ances
tors with mathematical exactness—
one-half inherited from the parents,
one-four . from the grandparents,
one-eighth from the great grand
parents, etc.
A BOILER EXPLODED,
Five Won Killed and I I injured In an
Accident at a Etonnd house.
Macon, (Ja., Jan. 3. —The boiler of
a locomotive of the Central of (Geor
gia railway exploded at the shops
in this city Thursday, killing five
men outright and injuring 11 others,
three of whom will probably die. The
dead:
John M. McDonald, white, machin
ist.
Tosh Hodges, white, engineer.
Uriah Cornelius, colored, helper.
James O'.Yeil, white.
One unidentified.
One body is so badly mutilated that
it is impossible to tell whether it is
of a white man or negro. The heads
of two of the victims were blown
completely off and were found 100
feet from the bodies. The explosion
wrecked the roundhouse in which the
engine was standing. A negro was
painting the top <>f the roundhouse,
lie was blown 100 yards, his body be
ing reduced to an unrecognizable
mass of flesh. The concussion broke
every window in a building live
blocks from where the explosion oc
curred.
Collieries are Flooded.
Oirardville. I'a., Jan. 3,—Packer
colliery No. 5, which was flooded with
water during' the severe rain storm
three weeks ago, resumed operations
yesterday, giving employment to 800
men and boys. Preston colliery of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
find Iron Co., remains idle and the
officials of the company fear that it
will take several monlhs to clear it of
water. At Lawrence, the colliery of
the Shaffer estate is also idle. The
inside workings are completely
ruined, and it is feared that the eoi
liery may nave to be abandoned.
These two collieries employed up
wards of 2,000 persons.

Pekin, Jan. 3.--Several recent oc
currences discourage the hope that
the dowager empress had learned a

the past year. Foreigners take a
pessimistic view of t!*e outlook. Oen. j
ung Lu s determination to organize |
two anti-foreign army corps, to off
set the commands of the pro-foreign
Chinese leaders, is particularly dis- j
quieting. Other incidents which are
considered significant are the sup

A good device for keeping hogs out
of the trough while pouring the slop
in the trough is made in the following
manner: Have the trough setting
parallel to the fence and close to it.
If you have nil old door as Jong as

fasten a scantling to the top of these

side of the door and hinge it to want
ling, then lake two small pieces about
2xl inches and one foot long, (b) and
nail them on the door about two inches
apart as shown in cut. Take another
piece (c) about the same as other two
and put a pin into push it backward
and forward with. Put this in be
tween pieces (b) and put two pieces, (d)
across to hold it on. When you want
to put slop in the trough pull up the
bolt and swing the door out so that
it covers the trough and push the bolt
down outside of the trough and put
in the slop and swing the door back and
bolt it again. It is best to put a board
at each end of trough to keep the hogs
from getting into the trough at the
ends.—Agricultural Epitomist.
MUST HAVE GOOD ROADS.
Their rstnlilUhraont Ik Ennentlal to
the Maintenance of iiiirul l-'ree
Delivery Itouten,
Good roads are one of the features
necessary to the establishment of rural
free delivery routes. It is evident that
the post of lice department nuant busi
ness when it declared at the start that
no free delivery routes would be
maintained over poor roads. Not only
must the roads be good in the begin
ning, but they must be kept in proper
order, or the route v\ill be abolished.
An eastern postmaster recently re
ceived the following letter, which
shows plainly the attitude of the post
office department:
"Reports recently received show that
the roads traveled by rural carrier
from your office are in bad condition
and likely- to be uripassable in baS
weather. You wiu please notify the
patrons of routes one and two that the
present lack of attention to these
roads will, if continued, be likely to en
danger the permanency of the rural
free delivery service there.
"A rural carrier cannot possibly
make regular time or perform efficient
service over poor roads, particularly
during the winter and spring months.
The shimmer is the time for mending
these highways, which are really serv
ing as post roads, and which should
always be in passable condition for
the transport of mail. It is the hope
of the department that the patrons
who are receiving the benefit of the
service appreciate it, and that an ef
fort to repair all deficient portions be
fore winter sets in, so that the perma
nency of rural free delivery service
may be insured."—Orange Judd

ways, or narrow for breaking paths
or sidewalks. Two plank runners are
planked across under the front end,
as shown in the sketch. Cross
braces and a board on which
to place a box seat complete
the contrivance, with the excep
tion of two staples in front for the
attachment of chains. This machine
rides over the snow and packs it down,
giving a firm roadbed without piling
up snow at the sides. Any desired
amount of weight can easily be placed
upon it. The runners keep this road
from slewing from side to side, as is the
case with many snow plows. E. G.
