REHEARING ASKED , BY STANDARD CO

Attorneys Take the First Step by Filing Formal Motion With the Court. ROCKEFELLER IS IMMUNE DECLARED THAT IT HAS BEEN AGREED NOT TO PROSECUTE HEAD OF THE GREATEST OF ALL COMBINES. Findlay, O., Oct. 20. John D. Rocke feller, who -was indicted at Findlay on the same charge as the Standard Oil company, will not be tried at present. It is authoritatively stated that Rocke feller will not be tried until the supreme court passes on the question of the Jurisdiction of the probate court. In order to convict the accused, it would be necessary to show an act of violation in Hancock county, and the presence of Rockefeller there would Jiave to be shown. Recognizing the difficulty of making out a case and not wishing to lose prestige by defeat, it has been agreed by the prosecuting at torney and attorney general not to press the indictment against Rocke feller. Attorney J. O.-Troup, for the Standard Oil company, filed a motion for a ew trial with Judge Banker in the case of the State of Ohio against the Standard Oil company in which the corporation was found guilty of violating the anti-trust laws. The move was b formal one and will not be contested. The case will be carried up immediately. y To Probe Coal Prices. ' Louisville, Ky., Oct. 20.

McChord of the Kentucky state railroad commission has been requested to conduct the examination for the interstate comm'erce commission, and he has summoned a large number of witnesses. In connection with this investigation the interstate commerce commission will seiek to determine whether or not the ; railroads of Kentucky own or control the coal lands of the state. According jto the local coalmen, the increase in price is due to lack of transportation facilities. - Oil and Rail Indictments. Ruffalo, N. Y., Oct. 20. The demurrer to the indictments recently found by the federal grand jury against the Standard Oil company, the Vacuum Oil company, the Pennsylvania Railroad company and the New York: Central was argued before Judge Hazel in the United States court. The Jamestown grand jury reported two indictments against the Standard Oil company. One indictment contains 24 counts and the other 123. The Pennsylvania was indicted once upon 25 counts, the Vacuum Oil- company once upon 24 counts and the New York Central once upon one count. The substance of all these indictments is that the defendants granted or received illegal concessions in freight rates. Monuments at Bull Run. Manassas, Va., Oct. 20.

FRESH EGGS ARE NOW UNDER BAN.

- "iPubHshers Press 1 New York, Oct. 20. According to information communicated to produce men in this city by the scientific experts of the Department of Agriculture, even the freshest eggs may, under certain conditions, cause illness by communicating some bacterial disease or some parasite. "It is possible," Secretary Wilson says, "for an egg to become infected with microorganisms, either before it is laid or after. The shell is porous, and offers no greater resistance to micro-organisms which cause disease than it does to those which cause the egg to spoil. When the infected egg i3 eaten raw the micro organisms, if present, are communicated to man, and may cause disease." THREE MEN WERE KILLED FRISCO'S FALLING WALLS High Winds in Stricken City Cause Remains of Partly Destroyed Buildings to Totter and Fall Many Workmen Were Caught in Debris.. San Francisco, Oct. 20. The strong wind blowing over the city caused the collapse of many of the walls of the ruined buildings that had been left standing since the fire. Three men were killed by the falling of one of the walls of the Grand opera house. Another accident was at Sacramento and Montgomery streets, where four Italian laborers were buried under a falling wall of Mutual Life building. Two of these men were taken out probably fatally injured and removed to a hospital. Pure Food Regulations. Washington, Oct. 20. Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture promulgated the regulations under which the recently enacted pure food and drug act will be enforced. Th'9 commission appointed to prepare the regulations consisted of Dr. H. W. Wiley of the agricultural department, Dr. S. N. D. North of the department of commerce and labor, and James L. Gerry of the treasury department. In a letter to the secretaries of their several departments they say their agreement on the regulations was unanimous. The section of the regulations respecting the labeling of the products requires that the ingredients of the package shall be stated, so that the purchaser may know practically what he is buying. Court Upholds Boycott. Louisville, Ky., Oct. 20. Judge Kirby in the chancery division of the circuit court rendered a decision which upholds a peaceful boycott. The decision, while not countenancing violence in any way, declares that the constitution gave every laborer the right to quit work whenever he wished, whether with or without reason, and that what one man could do alone was not unwarranted for a number of men to do jointly. Furthermore, it de clared that laborers had the right to exert the power of persuasion, if this power was exerted peacefully. He also declared that it was the laborer's right to withdraw his own patronage from a firm which was unfriendly. After New York Life Officials. New York, Oct. 20. With the return of Samuel Untermyer, its counsel, the international policyholders' committee announced that summary action would be taken for its criminal charges filed with Superintendent Kelsey against the New York Life. Whether it will be the attorney general's office that will take action or whether the committee, impatient of further delay, Itself will begin action, will not be announced until Mr. Untermeyer shall have put himself in touch with the situation. Tariff Experts to Go to Germany. Washington, Oct. 20. Secretary Root has decided to send two tariff experts to Germany to consult with the German custom officials and with German boards of trade for the purpose of securing material for possible moflilfications of American tariff laws in their administrative feature, which are at present the subject of much complaint on jfee part of the German exporting Interests.

HOPED TO RAISE SUM OF $100,000

Local Y. M. C. A. Project Being Put on a Thorough Basis for Canvass, OUTLOOK IS FLATTERING EVERY INDICATION THAT RESPONSES TO THECOMMITTEES PLEA WILL BE GENERALWORK TO BEGIN SOON. The thorough ground work for the Richmond Y. M. C. A. project bespeaks success for the undertaking and unless all signs fail the soliciting committees, when they begin the actual canvass next month, will be able to bring in the requisite amount withQut difficulty. It is hoped, it might be stated that the canvass "for funds will result in $100,000 being raised. Of this sum between $60,000 and $70,000 will be used for the building and equipment, the remainder for the building site and for the first year's maintenance of the association. Secretary Brown who is in charge of the work hopes to have on display soon, pictures and plans of various Y. M. C. A. buildings which are looked up on as especially suited to the needs of citizens of the size of Richmond. It is too early in the work to even speculate as to the possible location of Richmond's Y. M. C. A. There are several sites that would meet with the approval of the Committee, but up to this time nothing has been done relative to this. When the funds are in hand it will be time to figure on the building site. In the meantime the committees are hard at work laying plans for the canvass and one of the things that this committee desires understood, is that everybody is invited and expected to contribute something to the cause. STATE LIBRARY WORKERS CONSTITUTION AMENDED Any Person Interested in the Library Movement is Now Eligible to Join The State Organization The New Officers Named.

Albert Croissaut, president of the Croissaut-Bauman Stationery company, was shot through the abdomen and probably mortally wounded by his brother, Edward. Edward stood on the street corner near Ms brother's business house and when Albert passed shot without warning, exclaiming, "I'm a man now." Edward, who has been a sanitarium patient, was arrested, and at the four courts declared his regret that he had not killed his brother, asserting that the brother exerted a hypnotic spell over him. At the City hospital it is believed wounded man can not live. CUNNING OF THE FOX. Its Skill "When Kannlng For Lift From the Honndi. No other still hunter can travel so quietly as a fox, and mighty few men are as crafty as the four legged hunter when it comes to a matter of getting meat. Foxes have been seen in England slipping from bush to bush, crawling and creeping after a feeding hare, for all the world like a man stalking a deer. The fox cannot catch a rabbit in a fair chase, but its food is mostly "rabbits in spite of their fiectness. But at no time does it display its skill so well as when running for life with a pack of hounds on its trail. Olaus Magnus, archbishop of Upsala, wrote a book called "Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus." of which an English translation exists. This book tells of a fox that leaped from back to back of a herd of goats. As thedogs could, not follow, the fox escaped. A curious trick of English foxes is to jnmp as high as possible, grasping a tree branch with their teeth, hold on till the hounds have gone on and then, dropping to the ground, escape. This is similar to the trick of the American fox which jumps into a tree and rests on a branch, but American dogs are not such fools as English dogs. They gather around the tree and howl till the hunter comes. -tiilirara. It is estimated that the cataract of Niagara is 31.0U0 years old. The hefght of the falls was at one jieridd -L20 feet.

A T PUBLICATIONS ' COMBINED All Publishing and Educational Interests Have Been Placed Under One Head with Headquarters, in Cincinnati Formal Announcement. Cincinnati, O., Oct. 20.-The merg of all the publishing and educational interests of the Methodist Episcopal church, having been finally accomplished, has been established in this City, j After several sessions the national executive board of the Freedmen's Aid and Southern .Educational society concluded its labors by approving of the merger recommended by the general conference committee. By the terms of this merger the following great publishing and educational concerns of thp Methodist Episcopal church are consolidated, with headquarters at Cincinnati: Board of Education society, Sunday School union, Tract society and Freedman's Aid society. Tlie Tnmlilcwtfd, Tumbleweeds spread themselves in a wholesale fashion. Instead of sending .the separate seeds out into the world with wings or hairs to carry them, the whole plant breaks off near; the root, when these are ripe,- ana goes rolling along the ground befora the wind. The bare, sun scorched deserts of the great west produce several tumbleweeds, and there are some in the prairie region. It is natural that they should be most abundant where there are no hills or trees to stop them in their course. But we have one tumbleweed in the east the old witch grass, so called, .maybe, because it rides the wind like an old beldame. In September this grass spreads its head or panicle, with hairlike, purple branches, in every sandy field. When the seeds are ripe the plants are blown across the field, often piling up in masses along fences and hedgerows. As might be expected, the hair grass, which has so effective a way of spreading itself, is found throughout the United State3 from ocean to ocean. GOLD IN SOLUTION. fhere Are Billions of Tons In tlie Waters of tlie Oceans. Do you know that the waters of our globe hold thousands of millions of tous of gold in solution, and that if it were possible to extract the precious metal from the aqueous constituent of our planet gold would be the commonest of the metals? More than 100 years ago the salt boilors on the coast of Maine found slight traces of the precious metal on the sides of their evaporators, and later on Scottish tradesmen in the same article reported gold settlings in the water taken from the mouth of the Dundee. ; In 1S53 the chemists Malaguti and Durocher analyzed waters from several different localities in the several oceans and seas, the result being that they found a slight trace of gold and silver in every specimen tested. Finally, in 18o3, they made a grand summary of all their findings, the figures presented with that report being without doubt the most wonderful exhibit that has ever been given to the scientific world. It was there shown that the average depth of all, oceans is 2.500 fathoms, and that the surface area is sufficient to make a grand total of 400,000,000 cubic miles ot water, or not less than l.S37,030.272,000,000,000 tons. Each ton of that vast amount of surging liquid holds, at a very low estimate, onethirteenth of a grain of gold, or a total of not less than 10.250.000,000 tons of the precious metal. If this vast amount of gold could be extracted and thrown npon the market the best financier in the world cannot imagine what the result would he. The Sotble Tear.

SSJfju NO ROUND TRIPS WILL BE GIVEN Railroads Will "Cut Out", the Double Tickets After November 1. THE RATE CUT THE CAUSE BELIEVED THAT RAILROADS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY WILL FOLLOW THE ACTION OF WESTERN LINES. Richmond travelers who have been in the habit of buying round-trip tickets will cease the habit soon. The railroads west of Pittsburg have decided after November 1 they will sell no round trip tickets in territory where the rate is less than 3 cents a mile. This territory comprises Ohio, Indiana and part of Illinois. Announcement to this effect has just been made. This action is regarded as a direct slap at the Ohio 2-ceht law. and an indirect slap at the public opinion that brought about a reduction in rates in Indiana and Eastern Illinois. The new order will become effective on the same day that passenger rates west of Pittsburg are reduced to a basis of 2 1-2 cents a mile and $20 mileage books, good for holder and those traveling with him, are offered for sale. It is thought the new order marks the beginning of the discontinuance of round-trip tickets all over the country. For a long time the railroads, particularly the Pennsylvania have insisted that they were loosing money on round-trip, tickets. It seems to be the intention of the railroads to induce their patrons to buy the new individual mileage books which will not be limited to the buyer and will cost $20 fiat. This is deducted from the fact that round-trip tickets will not only be discontinued but that excess will be charged passengers paying fare on the trains. ELECTRICITY IN HEALING What Is Being Done on Lines of Medicine and SnrKery. The extent to which many of the latest medical and surgical appliances depend upon electricity as an auxiliary to their convenient and often successful operation was one of the most striking lessons of the recent Boston convention of the American Medical association. Aside from the direct remedial applications of electricity in the treatment of diseases, a marvelous development has taken place in the adaptation of the small motor to the mechanical side of the physician's work. Tiny saws for bone cutting, X ray machines, vibrators for massage work, air pumps for ear and eye treatment, centrifuges for the precipitation of solids aiid bacteria in liquids and other devices for office and laboratory use are driven more satisfactorily by small motors than in any other way. The incandescent lamp has been applied to surgical work in so many different styles and sizes that nothing short of a catalogue could cover its fioid of usefulness. As an aid in diagnosis and an auxiliary in delicate operations in different parts of the body the miniature lamp is an important accessory. Electric heaters of various designs shown at Boston illustrated gratifying progress in the application of this class of apparatus to medical work. One of the latest appliances Is an asbestus lined oven for dry sterilization, in which the resistance element is a perforated graphite plate instead of the usual wire. An electro-magnetic switch actuated by an adjustable mercurial column cut1? out one s?ctioa of the gTaphite resistance in case the oven temperature becomes too high. Electrical Age., ..
