MTS FOB ~ POSTAL THIEVES. - V ile Scandals in Postal Department Beach a ?RmaL _;_ Fe?fefal Grand Jury Brings in S?v? it en indictments Against Six De? partment Officials. Washington, Sept. S.-After delib? erating for several weeks over a mass of documents submitted by the post 3 office inspectors, the Federal grand jury in this city today returned seven indictments in postal cases, involving sis different persons. All the indict? ments were kept off the public record and both the officials of the district j attorney's office and of the ^postoffice department refused to divulge names or details of the indictments until the parties indicted are arrested. The identity, of the indicted individuals was thus left a matter of conjecture. The grand jury's action probably marks the beginning of the end of the investigation that has been in progress since the middle of last March. Volum? inous evidence has been laid before the grand jury as the result of the in? quiry, and while the present report of the jury disposes of most of the cases, there yet remain several to be passed upon. When the latter are disposed * of, according to Postmamster General Payne the investigation, so far as the c?ork at Washington is concerned, will be at an end for all practical purposes. Several of the- parsons indicted today live outside of Washington. They will rearrested as soon as bench warrants can be served. Two other important events occurred today in the postal inquiry. Leopold Stern, the Baltimore contractor, who disappeared from Baltimore before he could be arrestee! on an indictments re? turned July 31 last, was located^ at Toronto, and the long delayed sur? render cf Georgs? Beavers, the former head of the salary and allowance divi? sion, to the New York authorities took place. The postal officials have been searching for Stern ever since he disappeared and have finally received word from the Canadian authorities that he is in Toronto. THe question of extradition has been .taken np with the State department The case has features similar to the Greene-Gaynor case. It was then contended that conspiracy was not ex? traditable, but the State department took the view that the acts themselves involved alleged embezzlement and constitute, extraditable offences. Stern was indicted for conspiracy to defraud the Government He was charged with receiving full price for satchels for letter-carrie rs, including shoulder straps, despite the supply to him of these straps at Government expense. In consideration of the supply of these straps to him, for which he was paid in full, he is charged with paying large sums to W. C. Long, of this city, and A. W. Machen, the deposed head of the free delivery service. New York, Sept 8.-George W. Beavers, the former head of the salary and allowance division of the postoffice department at Washington, surrendered himself in the office of United States Commissioner Hitchcock, in this city, today, and gave $5,000 bail for his ap? pearance before Commissioner Hitch? cock on September 15. HORRIBLE TURKISH ATROCITIES. Reports Indicate That the Turks Have Massacred 50,000 Bul? garians. Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 8.-All reports from the vilayet of Monastir agree in describing the situation as appalling. Between 30,000 and 50,000 Bulgarian inhabitants are believed to have been massacred by the Turks, and every Bulgarian village in the vilayet has been destroyed. The refugees in the mountains and forests are dying of starvation by thousands. At present it is impossible to obtain precise figures. The revolutionary headquar? ters estimate that thirty thousand Bulgarian men, women and nhildren hare been killed, while at least the same number of refugees are slowly perishing of hunger. In official cir? cles these figures are regarded as an underestimate, and officials incline to the belief that the number of the mas? sacred exceeds 50,000. The Turks are apparently determin?d to exterminate the entire Bulgarian population of the vilayet In Government circles here the situ? ation is viewed with increasing alarm. It is reliably reported that the Turkish forces in Macedonia number 300,000. It is considered impossible that such a force has been assembled merely to crush the rebellion. It is feared" that the Sultan is meditating an attack on Bulgaria. , TWO BATTLES IN MACEDONIA. Sal?nica, Turkey, Sept 8.-Twelve battalions of Turkish troops are re? ported to have surrounded a large re? volutionary band near Ostrovo, thirty miles from Monastir. Fighting is pro? gressing. The revolutionaries have taken up a position near Lake Aniatovo, in the vilayet of Constantinople. Turkish troops are now said to be attacking them. MADE MAD BY HOLINESS. A Horrible Tragedy in Anderson County. Anderson, Sept 8.-A horrible case of infanticide caused by religious fana? ticism occurred last night in Broad? way Township, about six miles from the city. John Graffenreid, a negro, and his wife, had been attending a *'holiness meeting," and had become greatly wrought up over the excite? ment attending it. They left the meet? ing Monday night and spent a greater part of the night praying. Just before daylight, Graffenreid says, his wife awoke him and asked him which he loved best, his wife or his baby, a child about 16 months of age. She said the Lord was going to take one of them and asked which he would rather give np. He says he said that if it was the lord's will he would .rather give up the child. He says the woman then got out of bed and took the child in her arms and declared she was going to offer it as a sacrifice. He says he was standing by her trying to get her quiet, when she suddenly ex? claimed: "Here, Lord, take this child," and threw it against the wall. His wife then threw her arms around him and tried to choke him, saying something about both of them going to Heaven together. They had a scuffle, which awakened the oilier' children, who ran into the room and took the child and placed it in a bed. The wo? man then jumped out of a window and ieft the place and went to the farm of W. Q. Hammond, where she appeared early in the morning, acting in a strange manner, as if demented, and Mr. Hammond secured her for fear she would do herself or others harm. She said something about her husband killing her baby, and this aroused Mr. Hammond's suspicions, and he 'phoned Sheriff Green for instructions. The sheriff gave instructions to have her husband arrested and this was done. SALTED THE WELLS. A Remarkable Charge Against the Jjmst Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. .8.-The For Worth Telegram prints the most startling story that had ever come out of the Beaumont oil fields, and states that its informant is one of the most prominent men of Fort Worth, who returned from Beaumont yesterdy. This man declares the Standard Oil Company has perpetrated a most gi? gantic swindle in the Beaumont fields and that positively established details are just coming to light. The inde? pendent oil companies of Beaumont are the victims. Many of them have been wrecked by the Standard's base work. Recently some of the leading men of the wrecked or injured companies determined to invesigate and in two days' time raised $17,000 with which to push the work. The developments, it is decalred, are simply astonishing. It is shown that numerous well, that were apparently ruined by salt water were put in their bad condition by the Standard company's conspirators. As fast as a company went to the wall its property was bought in by the Standard. By accident, it is said, the desperate work of the Standard was recently discovered. The Standard Oil Company long ago built a pipe line from Beaumont to the Gulf of Mexico. A pumping sta? tion was erected at Beaumont and an? other at the gulf. Oil was pumped through the pipe line to the Gulf and thence shipped to various parts of the world. Suddenly many wells of inde? pendent companies had salt water in them. The ruin of the owners is part of the history of the field. One day, not long ago, one of the pumping stations got out of working order, and oil pumping to the Gulf had to be suspended while repairs were beng made. Suddeny wells that had been giving out fully one-half salt water began flowing nothing but oil good fuel oil, it is declared. That led to investigation. The investigators at night secretly plugged up the pipe line at the Beaumont end. They de toured several miles into the country, dug into the ground over the pipe line, made a tapping into the line and salt water gushed into the air nearly 100 feet. It is claimed that the pressure was from the Gulf pumping station and that salt water was being pumped to Beaumont and into the wells that the Standard companys' conpirators de? sired to wreck : that there was no pres? sure from the Beaumont end because of the plugging of the pipe. The informant of the Telegram de? clares that a force of detectives are at work seeking evidence on which to have the conspirators arrested. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 8.-An ex? plosion of loose powder in the coining department of the Birmingham Pow? der Company's plant this morning resulted in the death of JB. Bargett and the fatal injury of J. Goodlet, both laborers. No others were in the mill at the time. An explosion in the same mill two months ago resulted in the death of three men. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the S/f7^~ Signature of Lte*f^&??/UA? TORI BELABORS HANNA. Ohio Campaign Opened With Vim. Tom L. Johnson Pillories Hanna as the Champion of the Trusts, on Which Republican Party Depends for Success. Akron, Ohio, Sept. 9.-The Demo ractic State Campaign opening meet? ing was held in this city tonight, ad? dresses being delivered by Tom L. Johnson, candidate for Governor of Ohio ; John H. Clarke, candidate for United States Senator, and Henry George, Jr., of New York. The at? tendance at the meeting was estimated at 3,000. Mr. Johnson, in his speech, said : "The city of Cleveland furnishes an excellent illustration of the issues of the Democratic party in this campaign. Cleveland has become known as the most completely enjoined city in Ohio. Since I have been mayor, fifteen in? junctions have been issued against the city in the interest of the owners of valuable special privileges like the street railroads and the gas and elec? tric light companies. And after each injunction the Democratic pluralities have been larger than before. ''Senator Hanna, who is financially interested in some of these public ser? vice corporations, with the aid of At? torney General Sheets, has been able to prevent the city from compelling the public service corporations to pay their just share of the taxes, and has so far blocked the establishment of a three cent street railroad fare to compete with his five cent fare monopoly. "Senator Hanna is standing for vin? dication. He stands for vindication on that variety of municipal owner? ship, which through the ship sub? sidy proposes to pay into the pockets of Mr. Hanna's friends from ten to fifteen million dollars annually in ship subsidies. He stands as opposed to al? lowing the people of Cleveland to ex? press their will as to whether they desire an electric plant. I will be sat? isfied with the verdict of the voters." John H. Clarke referred to Senator Hanna's "stand pat" policy, and said: .-While Senator Hanna has thus been urging this do-nothing policy, there has been worked out unrestrain? ed in our country, the greatest indus? trial revolution of modern times, which has placed every branch of business and manufacture in the control of a form of monopoly, which all the world, except Mr. Hanna, agrees to call a "trust." "As to the remedies in the way of controlling trusts, the first is the tak? ing of the tariff from all articles, the manufacture or sale of which is con? trolled by a monopoly, and the second, the limiting of the capitalization of all corporations engaged in Inter-State commerce, strictly to the value of the property invested." Mr. Clarke favored granting im? mediate independence to the Filipinos. Mayor Seth Low Endorsed. New York, Sept. 9.-At the Fusion conference tonight the name of Seth Low was endorsed as the candidate for mayor to ba presented at the fusionist Convention by all the bodies affiliated with the Fusion movement, except the Greater New York Democracy and the Kings County Democracy. The con? ference was held at the headquarters of the Citizens' Union. It was evident before the conference was called to or? der that Mayor Low would meet the favor of most of the delegates, although John C. Sheehan, leader of the Greater New York Democracy announced that his organization would demand that an independent Democrat be named. He indicated, however that this decision was not final. Unlucky Buzzard Balloon. Widewater, Va. Sept. 9.-Prof. Langley's air ship was disabled again this afternoon at 4 o'clock by the wreck of the starboard propeller, which broke about the middle under pressure of its own velocity, one of the blades dashing against the frame work and doing considerable damage. The blade whirled through the air at a fast rate, barely missing several men on the deck "of a tug boat. Prof. Manly, who was in the car, at once had the machine placed inside. The streu rural weakness, which this second accident indicates, will require much work before a launching is at? tempted. Prof. Langley was not here today, but a test would have been made if ali had gone well. Cynthiana, Ky., Sept. 8.-The trial of Curtis Jett for the alleged as? sassination of Town Marshal James Cockriil at Jackson, Ky., in February 1902, began today. Judge Osborne overruled the motion by the defence for a continuance, and the case was set for trial for September 14, on ac? count of the necessry absence until then of Judge Black, one of the de? fendant's attorneys. County Attorney Webster also made a motion for a rule against Jasper King, to show cause why King should not be arrraigned for contempt of Court. The affidavit of County Attorney Webster charges King with hanging the jury last month in the case of Jett and White. A Good Liver.

Work of the Chicago Police in Baffling an Enraged Mob. Chicago, Sept. 9.-Under a fire of bricks and stones, policemen last night rescued a negro murderer. from a mob of would-be lynchers. Ten minutes before John Brinkley, a col? ored watchmna, had shot and killed Charles McCarthy, a plasterer, almost in the presence of the latter's wife, who stood in the doorway holding her baby. Then the negro'backing into the doorway of his own quarters, held a crowd of two hundred men and boys at bay until Patrollman Robert Mooney, walked up to him unarmed, and took away his weapon. Mooney took his prisoner into the office of the tile factory, in which Brinkley was employed, to await the patrol wagon. But as he did so the crowd surged forward once more with cries of "Lynch him!" "Lynch him" "Get a rope!" Brinkley turned and fled from the office by the rear door. The mob saw the escape, and, head? ed by Mooney, streamed down an alley in pursuit. The negro ran sev? eral blocks before he was finliy over? taken. The policemen having been brushed aside. Brinkley was now at the mercy of the crowd. A teamster i jumped down from his wagon and be? gan lashing the negro across the face with his whip, the victim being held the while by a dozen men and boys. A patjrol wagon arrived with three policemen, who together with Mooney, seized the negro and succeed? ed in dragging him to the patrol wagon. 'Ehe horses were whipped up and the rescued prisoner whirled to the police station. None of the riot? ers was arrested. The killing grew out of a quairel in which McCarthy had accused Brink? ley of stealing chickens from his premises. TKE POSTOFFIGE FRAUDS. A Sensation Promised in Wash? ington Soon. Washington, Sept. 9.- One of the persons indicted yesterday by the Federal grand jury, in connection with the postal investigation, is George W. Beavers, formerly chief of the division of salary and allowances. It is under? stood that the charge rs conspiracy. Another of the indictments is against August W. Machen on a new set of-facts, in^wnghim with Beav? ers. The ch?rgels "ctinsp?rac^*^ While the officials refuse to disclose the names of the four remaining persons who were indicted yesterday, it is said that none of them is or has been connected with the postoffice de? partment, and that one is a man of some prominence. It was stated at the city hall today that the climax of the investigation is to come shortly when a person not connected with the department, but a man as well known as the Postmaster General himself, will undoubtedly be indicted for com? plicity in the postoffice frauds. The grand jury began hearing the evidence in this particular case today, and it is stated that when a report ?R made it will in all probability conclude the investigation in Washington. Tobacco Smuggling. New York, Sept 9.-The examina? tion of Joseph Wahrman, a dealer in leaf tobacco, today, before United States Commissioner Ridgeway, on a charge of buying smuggled tobacco, brought out the fact, if the confes? sions of two sailors arrrested on Mon? day are to be believed, that there are a number of tobacco merchants in New York engaged in illict traffic in tobac? co. On Sunday night two treasury officials followed two sailors of the Roenigen Luise, giving the names of Thome and Schone who, they say delivered smuggled tobacco to Joseph Wahrman. Today, when three men were arraigned before the commis? sioner, the two sailors made confessions and testified in behalf of the Govern? ment and against Wahrman. The com? missioner held Wahrman for trial in SI,500 bail, which was furnished. Wahrman denied the charge most em? phatically and insisted he was a vic? tim of circumstances. The sailors were parolled. Death of Mrs. Boyeson. La Porte, Ind., Sept. 9.-Mrs. Jane Stewart Boyeson, of Chicago, died to? night at Asheville, N. C., as a result of nervous shock, following accusa? tions of theft. The news reached here in a telegram to friends. While Mrs. Boyeson was at a hotel near Spartan burg, S. C., the rocm of a guest from Augusta, Ga., was robbed of $600 worth of jewelry. Mrs. Boyeson was accused. She was not in good health and the charge resulted in her physical collapse. Before the end came she in? stituted a 850,000 damage suit against the proprietor of the hotel in the Fe? deral Court at Charleston. Mrs. Boye? son had done considerable newspaper work, and was a musician of marked ability. She was a member of trie Daughters of the American Revolution, the Chicago Woman's Club and other organizations. is Indigestion a Disease ?

Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 9.-The Journal today says: The slogan for what promises to be one of the biggest contentions in which organized labor has been enagged, one with the Cath? olic church, has been sounded by Father M. J. Ward of Beloit, who has declared that neither he nor any other priest of the Roman Catholic faith will give absolution to those who have taken the oath of the International Typographical union. The oath of this union ; equi res that the member's al? legiance to his union shall have priority over every obligation, religious and otherwise. Father A. F. Schinner, adminis? trator of the archdiocese said today that Father Ward was altogether justi? fied in making such a statement and that he would himself say the same thing. Forests Will be Gone Within Forty Years. The Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, in The Chicago-Record Herald, says: It will not be many years until the monarchs of the forests, which have stood for 20 to 30 years, will have been reduced to dressed lumber. It was not until a comparative few years ago that the people realized that in time the supply of timber would be entirely consumed and that something must be done to renew the denuded timber lands. Consequently it is only recent? ly that the subject of reforestration has been brought up for consideration. Until a few years ago, education had neglected to teach forestry and scienti? fic research necessary for the repro? duction of trees and many agricultural products. Realizing this, Congress has increased the agricultural appropria? tion each year during the last decade, until now 8400,000 a year is allowed for forestry alone. There are today about 500 young men studying the subject and what can be done by the farmer to help the re? forestation of the country. We have reached the point where we may well be alarmed at the forestry conditions. Few know wh6re to begin or what to do. In twenty years the scarcity will be felt strongly, and in forty years, at the most, unless immediate and ex? tensive action is taken, the ?ntire country will be pinched. Our timber supply will be exhausted, and we shall suffer a wood famine far worse than the coal famine which England is now fronting. What we mast do is to study the soil. A few years ago all our fine cigars were coming from Cuba and other West Indian points. I sent men to these various places and liad them col? lect samples of the soil on which the finer grades of tobacco were raised. This was brought to Washington and analyzed. Having found the properties of the soil, I sent out over the United States to find the same kind, and as a result we are now growing the finest cigar tobacco in the world right here in our own country. My men found the exact soil wanted in Texas, Ohio and Connecticut, and in these States we raise better tobacco than is grown in any of the Southern islands. So it is with forestry. The ground that has produced the big trees and the hard wood trees must be analyzed and seed must be planted immediately, if the necessary elements are lacking in the soil, it must be manipulated until it will grow timber. Every agricultural college in the country should have a forestry depart? ment. Yale is the only institution that has a regular course, Cornell having abolished hers. I recently at? tended the graduation exercises of a Western agricultural school that re? ceived an annual endowment from Con? gress of $70,000 a year, and out of the 450 graduates not one knew any thing about forestry. This is robbery. A few figures will give a fair idea of about how long the timber of the country may b? expected to last at the present rate of consumption.. There are now 700,000,000 acres of productive forest land in the United States. The annual cutting of lumber amounts to 35,000,000,000 feet a vear: of timber, 3,000,000,000 feet: for rail? road ties, 22,000,000, and for fence posts, 3,000,000. The lumber industry amounts to 8676,000,000 a year, and of this the farmers receive $109,000,000 for timber cut from their personal property. If this industry is to be exhausted the result can only be surmised. Science is learning how to treat soft wood, which grows rapidly, so that they can be made to last as long as hard wood. This will assist in reduc? ing the annual consumption of ties and fence posts, which are no small factor. We can only hope for greater development in scientific research. The fuel question must also be con? sidered. Every farmer should grow his own fuel. Those which are suit? able for the purpose are soft arid grow quickly, and every farmer should therefore have his fuel patch as well as his produce garden. Every child should be taught the seeding time of trees and know when to go to them to find the seed, and then they should plant them. The seri? ousness of the situation must be im? pressed upon the coming generation for they are the ones who will suffer in event of a famine. Therefore, I say let every agricultur? al college have a forestry department, and in the department study the soil. ? Teach your children from infancy the value of every tree and the need of planting trees, and you who are older, enter in with the enthusiasts of the association, advocate a State forest re? serve and plant a tree whenever you lia ve a spare moment. THE LEXINGTON JURY LIST. It Will Not be Published Before the Next Term of Court. The Columbia Record publishes the following article. In view of the fact that the trial of J. H. Tillman is ex? pected to come off at the approaching trial in Lexington the Record's article is very lin te resting : A gentleman from Lexington county who was in the city today said that the list of jurors for the term of court tc be held this month will not be pub? lished. Citizens expected to see the list in the Dispatch of this week, but failing to find it in the paper some of them inquired of the clerk of court why the names were not printed. According to the gentleman referred to, this offi? cer answered that the names would not be published this time in order to prevent the possibility of any "tamper? ing" with them. There is no law so far as Lexington is .concerned, it is said, to require the list of jurors to be published in a newspaper, but their names cannot be kept by officials from anyone who may desire to know who they may be. Still the statement as to the reason the list will not be printed in the Lexington Dispatch is interesting, and involves a serious question as to whether tampering" with jurors is a custom in the state or whether it is suspected to be attempted at this particular term of court in Lexington only. *? Butchered by an Automobile. Detroit, Mich., Sept 9.-While Barney Oldfield's racing automobile was running nearly sixty miles an hour at the Grosse Points track this afternoon in the ten-mile open event, one of the front "tires on the machine burned through and exploded, throw? ing the car into the fence and injur? ing Frank Shearar, a spectator, so terribly that he died in an ambulance en route to the hospital. The car went fifty feet through the air, and Oldfield, who kept his seat, had a marvellous escape from death. He re? ceived several cuts about the bod yand had one rib broken. Oldfield had just time to twist his brake and head for a spot between two trees. Shearar was standing against the fence at this point and the car struck him squarely, breaking both legs in several places and fracturing his skull. He was thrown seventy-five feet and never recovered consciousness. Old? field had presence of mind enough to throw himself backward on the flat deck of the car, which went crashing through a low tree and was completely wrecked. Shearar's brother was stand ing near him and had- a narrow escape.. ? Bull Point From Alabama. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 8.- "The cotton crop has deteriorated fully 25 per cent in the cotton belt of Alabama within the past two weeks," said Com? missioner of Agriculture Poole today. "The hot weather has stopped the growth of the cotton and caused it ?o shed. The boll and the army worm alsc have added to the injury. The report of the agriculture bureau at Washing tor; was made on reports received up to August 26, and since that date the crop has been materially injured. I pre? dict the next report will show a worse condition than for years." Rich Mexican Gold Mines. Mexico,.
