1Y GOING TO FLORIDA E THAN 100 MEN ARE GOING TO HILLIARD, FLORIDA, THIS MONTH. HE OFFER OF FREE ROUND TRIP MAKES GREAT HIT. They Are Going to Buy Farms In Cornwall Farm Land Co.'s Big New Trucking Section 30 Miles from Jacksonville. Either the first touch of cold weath er or the remarkably attractive offer of round trip to Florida free has de cided a large number of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee men togo and make an investigation of the North Florida Fruit and Truck Farms at Hilliard, Fla. Already over 100 have sent to the Cornwall Farm Land Co., 815 Great Northern Bldg., Chicago, and arranged for starting either on the 17th or 24th of November, with the understanding that the company will credit the amount of the railroad fare to every man that buys a MJ-acre farm at $2lO on the easy payment plan of $lO a month. The lands are the best in the State of Florida for vegetable grow ing and are located on the Atlantic Coast Line Railway within 40 mitt utes' ride of Jacksonville. The lllus trated books published by the com pany show pictures of growing vege tables and the appearance of the un improved land, also views of the town of Hilliard adjoining the farm land. Florida is now the established and recognized supply depot for all the winter grown fruits and vegetables consumed in the north for which hig« prices are paid. This new trucking ■section has not yet taken on the fevet of high land prices as have most of the older sections of Florida. We uc derstand that the whole of this N'orA Florida Fruit and Truck Farm tract is to be sold at one price—s2l an acrq There are many places in Floric 1 ! where large holders of land are boom ing both towns and farm lauds and the prices are from SIOO to 5250 an acre for unimproved land. The Cornwall Farm Land Company's proposition seems well worth investigating. The Little Girl and the Donkey. Tho four-year-old daughter of a Washington man not long ago saw a donkey for the firsf time. She talked to her father a good deal touching the unusual sight. It was a "dear donkey," It was a "lovely donkey," etc., etc. Soon the child exhausted her stock of adjectives. "And so you liked the donkey, did fou?" asked the fond parent. "Oh, so much, daddy!" returned the youngster. "That is, I liked him pret ty well. But I didn't like to hear him donk." —Lippincott's. Succeeded in His Purpose.

FIRE FOLLOWED EXPLOSION. Of 380 Men Working in the Mine, Only Six Escaped Injury—Efforts to Rescue Failed—The Dead Number 339. Hainm, Westphalia, Germany.— Tho greatest mine disaster in many years in Germany occurred Thursday at the Radbod mine, about three miles from here. There was a heavy explosion in the mine and the mine took fire. Of 380 miners work ing under ground at the time, only six escaped without injury. Thirty five were taken out badly Injured and 37 were dead when brought to the mouth of the pit. The remaining 302 have been given up for lost. The explosion, which was unusually violent, damaged one of the shafts, which had to be partly repaired be fore the rescue work was begun. In addition the flames and smoke proved almost insurmountable obstacles In the early efTorts of the rescuing par ties. A special corps, composed of tho men who rendered such valuable aid in the terrible mine disaster at Cour rieres, France, in March, 1906, arrived upon the scene shortly before noon, but were unable to enter the mine, being forced to await the result of the efforts of the firemen to keep tho flames in check. The fire made great headway and after a consultation of the engineers it was decided that any further at tempts to rescue the entombed men were vain, owing to the impossibility of entering the galleries. At the same time an order was issued to flood the mine. GOT IDOLS, BUT NO GOLD. Hunters of Yellow Metal in Panama Had a Series of Thrilling Adventures. New York City. Baron Von Teuber, who arrived Thursday on the steamer Magdalena, from West Indian ports, told a thrilling story of a gold hunting expedition in Panama north of the canal zone which resulted in the death of three members of his party. The baron, with his brother and three mining engineers, who left this city several months ago for the gold and anthracite fields in the northern part of the isthmus of Pan ama, finally started with two Indian guides north for Colon through what proved to be country jealously held by hostile Indians. A midnight en counter resulted in the fatal sltooting of th« Indian guides. Left thus, in a strange, practically trailless country, they wandered helplessly. The three engineers were soon stricken with frightful fevers. The baron and his brother, however, made for the coast with the sick men, en countering constant hardships. John Bradley, one of the engineers, died in a boat they had constructed, but Frederick Smith and Peter Bartlett were finally taken to the Ancon hos pital, where they are slowly recover ing. The baron brought a collection of old idols which he will present to a museum. An Ice Man Murders His Rival. New York City.—A pair of ice tongs were used with deadly effect Thursday to settle a feud that has ex isted between two East Side icemen, Louis Schneider and Harry Feuer stein, for several years. Until re cently the men supplied the same dis trict, but last month decided to divide the territory. Feuerstein heard Thursday that Schneider had accused him of acting unfairly and he went to the latter's establishment and started for Schneider with a knife. Schnei der grabbed a pair of tongs and struck at his rival. The tongs opened and one of the prongs buried itself in the brain of Feuerstein. Clergymen Get Small Salaries. New York City.—That the mini mum salary for an unmarried clergy man in the diocese of New York should be $1,200, and for a married clergyman $1,200 and a suitable place to live, or sl,r>oo in money, was the resolution passed Thursday in the an nual convention of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of New York. Dr. Leighton Parks, who proposed the resolution, said that there were 21 clergymen in New York, 15 of whom were married, who received I>'SS than $1,200 annually. One man had no salary; another received $4lO a year. Six Men Killed. Buffalo, N.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 19, 1908. TWENTY-TWO DEAD IN WRECKS TWO COLLISIONS ON RAILROADS PROVE TERRIBLY FATAL. Louisiana and Wyoming Were the Scenes of Disaster, 11 Men Being Killed in Each Accident. New Orleans, La. —lt was a heavy price in human life that paid for the errors of railroad trainmen Wednesday when a Great Northern express crashed into the rear of a New Orleans & Northeastern local train at Little Woods station, a fish ing and hunting camp on Lake Pont chartrain, 12 miles from New Orleans. Eleven dead and many more injured, some of them fatally crushed, are the results of the wreck, which was at tended by unusually gruesome scenes in the swamps on the lake shore. To add to the horror of the situation the wreck caught fire and only the heroic work of the surviving passengers pre vented the cremation of those pinned in the debris. Between Slidell and New Orleans the Great Northern trains run over the tracks of the New Orleans & Northeastern road. A local train of the Northeastern, from Hattiesburg and other Mississippi points, is due to arrive in New Orleans 20 minutes be fore the fast Great Northern train from Covington. Wednesday the Northeastern train was late and the difference of 20 minutes between the running of the trains was consider ably reduced. When Engineer Blackman of the Great Northern train took the North eastern tracks at Slidell he was given the usual right of way signal, he says, and proceeded to move his train toward New Orleans at 45 miles an hour. As Little Woods was ap proached the Northeastern local sud denly loomed up through the fog. En gineer Blackman applied the brakes and remained at the throttle while the ponderous locomotive plunged part way through the train ahead, leaving behind it a trail of corpses and in jured passengers. No one on the Great Northern ex press was seriously hurt, but those aboard the Northeastern local were thrown right and left or crushed by the express locomotive as it tore through the two roar coaches of the local. As Little Woods has no tele graph station, serious delay was ex perienced in getting a message to New Orleans, and it was two hours before a rescue train arrived. In the meantime passengers of the Great Northern train did all they could to rescue the injured. Cheyenne, Wyo.—Eleven men lost their lives in the collision of two Union Pacific freight trains Tuesday night at Borie, Wyo., and in the fire which broke out in the wreck age. The dead include an engineer, a conductor, a fireman, three brakemen and five Japanese laborers. ANDREE'S GRAVE FOUND? Burial Place of Aeronaut Who Started Out to Find the North Pole Is Said to Have Been Located. Copenhagen.—There is reason to believe that the body of S. A. Andree, the Arctic explorer who in 1897 made an attempt to reach the North Pole in a balloon, has been found on the coast of Labrador. A letter received here from the cap tain of the Danish steamer Inga, dated Labrador, September 30, reports that Capt. Chalker, skipper of the schooner Pelops, of Newfoundland, discovered in northern Labrador a cross bearing the name "Andree," and that beneath this cross he found a body and a box of documents. The expedition to discover the North Pole organized by Prof. S. A. Andree, a Swedish explorer, left Dane's Island, Spitzbergen, in a bal loon July 11, 1897. Prof. Andree was accompanied by two companions, Strindberg and Fraenkel. He was prepared to drop messages relating his progress, and various such com munications were discovered during the three months following his de parture. No authentic news, however, was received in regard to the fate of the balloon c.r its occupants. In September, ISO!), a buoy marked "Andree polar expedition" with an anchor attached, was picked up on King Charles Island and later identi fied as the buoy which Andree was to drop when passing the pole; but the general opinion was that it had been lost overboard or thrown out to lighten the balloon. In September, 1900, a bottle containing a note num bered 14?, was found near Vardoe, the most northeasterly port of Norway. Twiee it was reported that Andree's body had been found, but neither of these statements was substantiated. Many expeditions have searched the Arctic regions unsuccessfully for the missing balloonists. Andree's balloon was so constructed as to be capable of remaining in the air for over 50 days, but ho took pro visions for only four months. Editor Watterson's Son Is Killed.

HENEY, PROSECUTOR OF GRAFTERS, IS WOUNDED. Court Room in San Francisco Where Ruef Bribery Trial Is in Progress Is Scene of Crime. San Francisco, Cal. Francis J. Heney, a leading figure iu the prosecu tion of municipal corruption in San Francisco, was shot and seriously in jured Friday afternoon in Judge Law lor's court room by Morris Haas, a Jewish saloonkeeper, who had been accepted as a juror in a previous trial of Abraham Ruef and afterwards re jected, it having been shown in court by Heney that Haas was an ex-convict, a fact not brought out in his examina tion as a venireman. The shooting of Heney occurred in the presence of many persons in the court room during a recess in the trial of Ruef, on trial for the third time on the charge of bribery. At 6 o'clock Friday night Mr. Heney, who retained consciousness and will likely recover, said: "I will live to prosecute Haas and Ruef." The physicians in attendance on Heney expressed the opinion that he would live. It was ascertained that the bullet, which had entered the right cheak, had lodged under the left ear and had not entered his brain or severed any important arteries or nerves. Mr. Heney was taken to the Lane hospital, where he is under the care of skilled surgeons. After Heney had been removed from the court room Judge Lawlor called court to order and had Ruef placed in custody. Haas had been thrown down and held by spectators until the police arrived. He said he shot Heney because Heney had ruined him by exposing the fact that he was an ex-convict. Haas is a married man and has four children. CHINA'S EMPEROR DIES. Nominal Ruler of Flowery Kingdom Passes away—His Successor Is Chosen. Peking, China.—The emperor of China was reported dead Friday after noon. Two imperial edicts were issued from the palace Friday afternoon in quick succession. The first makes Prihce Chun regent of the empire, and the second appoints his son, Pu Wei, heir presumptive. Simultaneously with the removal of the emperor from the winter palace to the death chamber in the Forbidden City, the members of the grand coun cil assembled in the palace. The dowager empress was present at this meeting, and Is reported to have swooned and to be dying. Prince Chun is a brother of the em peror. His name is Tsai Feng, and he succeeded to the title of his father, Prince Chun, in 1891. He visited Ger many in 1901 as a special commis sioner of the throne. This last illness of the emperor as sumed a serious aspect a fortnight ago. It was then declared that he was suffering from a grave intestinal com plaint. He refused to accept western medical attendance, although medical men attached to thp legations here stood ready* to give their services. His majesty has been suffering for ten years past from chronic nephritis, which recently became complicated with diabetes and sciatica. It was ad mitted that his brain was affected. Kaung-Hsu succeeded to the throne in 1875. In 1887 the dowager empress intimated that she considered him fit to rule, and two years later she married him to her niece. REVIEW OF TRADE. An Increased Demand for Manu factured Products is Evident. New York City.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Expectations are being fully real ized in the increased demand for man ufactured products that each day re duces the percentage of idle machin ery and the number of unemployed. The depleted condition of stocks is disclosed as business expands and throughout all industrial channels there is a sudden pressure to meet re quirements that assures activity for some time at least. Higher prices for pig iron followed the increase in demand, consumers providing material for finished steel to be delivered in the spring. Furnaces have added still further to the active capacity, and some have contracted for much of their output up to July 1. The better feeling Js also reflected in the ore market, and, if weather conditions permit, the movement down the lakes probably will be increased to 25,000,000 tons for the season. Several railways are in the market for steel rails. In the primary market for dry goods, merchants are operating on a more liberal scale. Secretary Metcalf Resigns. Washington, I).
