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.
Tom —I ate some of the cake she
made just to make myself solid.
Dick —Did you succeed ?
Tom —I couldn't feel nny more solid
If I had eaten concrete or building
stone—Utica Herald.

HUNDREDS OF
MINERS KILLED
WORST DISASTER IN YEARS OC
CURS AT HAMM, A TOWN
IN GERMANY.
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. V. —A gasoline launch

wall Thursday and six of the C'hina
men were killed and four saved them
selves by clambering upon the wall.

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.

SHOT DOWN BY AN EX-CONVICT
FRANCIS J. 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). C. —Secretary of
