DUMBER OF UNUSED CARS Oil DECREASE

peport of Railway Association Shows Greater Freight v Business. r. JS THE FOURTH DECREASE. jBEFLECTS THE TENDENCY TOWARDS GENERAL REVIVAL OF BUSINESS IN THE UNITED STATE8. i New Tortt, July 9. The report of fche American Railway association giving the number of Idle freight cars Bn the country on June 24, shows that during the two weeks from June 10 to ijune 24 there was a decrease of 36,p20 In the number of surplus cars. ffust about one third of this represents )b decrease In the number of Idle box icars. The improvement was by no linearis uniform the country over. In fche New England states there was an increase in the number of Idle cars, jwhile the Middle Western states showled substantial decreases. There was n June 24 a total of 312,847 idle cars n this country ana Canada on tne roads reporting to the American Railjway association, compared with 349,B67 on June 10. and with a maximum jof 413,338 on April 29. The decrease Ireported is the fourth consecutive deG rease in two months, or a total reliction of 100,417 idle freight cars. rThe resumption of mining in parts of (the bituminous coal fields, which jwere idle for most of the month of iAprll, was the first important factor which operated toward a decrease in Ithe number of idle cars, while more Jrecently the increased demands for box cars, much of It seemingly connected with the crop movement, has (further decreased the Idle list.

ESTIMATED AT $1,500,000. Boston, Mass., July 9. A fire, believed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion or a locomotive spark, and fanned by a brisk northwest wind, swept nearly a quarter of a mile of harbor front of East Boston late yesterday, causing a property loss estimated at nearly $1,500,000. Much of the loss falls upon the Boston & Albany railroad. Two persons were reported missing, and it is thought that both perished in the flames. One Is James Sullivan, a watchman at the Cunard line pier, and the other is Miss Sarah Reynolds, employed by the Cunard Steamship Company. Yesterday's fire was the biggest and most destructive that has broken out along the harbor front for many years. The flames spread with remarkable rapidity and by the time the first fire-fighting apparatus arrived on the scene they were beyond control and leaping from pier to pier. Within half an hour of the time the fire was discovered, four piers, three warehouses, a grain elevator containing 30,000 bushels of grain and many loaded freight cars had been destroyed. The Boston & Albany Railroad, New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, lessee, were the greatest losers. It is estimated the railroads' loss is $1,000,000 covered by blanket insurance. The loss of freight and grain burned is placed at fully $400,000. Practically all of the freight was in sured. i. this concar 70a. -eail cartlully. tt.

DEEPLY AFFECTED BY DEMONSTRATION William Jennings Bryan Receives News of Ovation At His Home. HE HAD SEVERAL VISITORS. WHILE TELEGRAPH INSTRU MENTS TICKED OFF THE NEWS, BRYAN ASKED ALL TO HELP HIM EAT HUGE WATERMELON. Lincoln. Neb., July 0. "The Democrats have been very good to me and I can find no words to express my deep appreciation of confidence and good will which the demonstration indicates." It was with these words that W. J. Bryan yesterday afternoon, speaking to newspaper men. acknowledged the remarkable demonstration given him by the delegates to the Democratic national convention. That Mr. Bryan was deeply affected by the outburst was apparent in the gravity with which he uttered the sentiment quoted. One hour and twentyseven minutes of delirious homage was pictured in his telegrams received at Fairview and the thrill of it showed in flashes in the eye of the man to whom it was paid. When the demonstration began Mr. Bryan and a dozen newspaper men, with Robert F. Rose, who is Mr. Bryan's secretary, and the telegrapher on the bulletin wire occupied the sun room, as the glass inclosed porch is called. Five minutes ten minutes passed with the wire ticking off details of the scene. The candidate in an office coat, smiled at the news but left comments to his visitors. In a laughing question Mr. Bryan said: "You credit me with too much influence with the convention." "You wouldn't think so if you were there," exclaimed Arthur English, a West Virginian, who is an old friend of the Xebraskan and had just returned from Denver. In his office in another part of the house, a second wire removed from public gaze transacted such business as Mr. Bryan had with the delegates. This wire occupied much of his attention, and during most of the period of the demonstration he spent there with Mrs. Bryan and his daughter Grace, both of whom followed the rapidly ar-

K

Schaflner Clean-Up quick sympathy. It was Secretary Rose's busy day, for he was constantly occupied in carrying the telegrams to his chief. An hour passed and Mr. Bryan reappeared in the sun room. In his most solemn tones he started as if to make an important announcement, but concluded with an invitation for the entire party to adjourn to the shady side of the home and indulge in the destruction of the miglity watermelon which reached him yesterday, a gift from San Antonio, Texas. "I cannot speak in all this noise," he said, sweeping his arm in the general direction of the turbulence at Denver; "Let us now participate in a watermelon." Mr. Bryan officiated in dissecting the melon, and for a time politics was forgotten in favor of refreshments. It was as the reporters were about to leave that Mr. Brran commended oh the remarkable tribute that had been paid him. The last slice of watermelon had just been consumed by Judge Charles Guy of New York, a late arrival, when a flash announcing that the demonstration had subsided was received. That its tremendous force and remarkable duration had stirred the three-time candidate in every fiber was apparent as he spoke. He thought deeply for a moment after finishing the statement, apparently on the verge of saying more, but turned and re-entered the house with the words unuttered. A number of congratulatory telegrams were received by Mr. Bryan, among them one from Governor Folk of Missouri, who felicitated the Xebraskan on receiving the greatest ovation ever given a presidential candidate. ttaUtugt Constipation May he permanent overcome Improper personal efforts nmne assistance bj the one truly .beneficial Wative remedy, Syrup oj tigs and El'uW of Sunt, JnicK enables one toorm regular Habits ctaily So that assistance fa nature may be gradually dispensed wVlH wKen no longer needed astkebestcf remedies, wKen reouired, are to assist tvature and not to supplant tke natur. a) functions, vKicft must depend ulti tooTefy upon proper nouri.vtntni, generally.

BUILT IN SECRET Public Cannot Gain Information of New Battleship Being Built. ALL REFUSE TO TALK. New York, July 0. In an order which is one of the most sweeping ever issued at the New York navy yard all officers and men employed in the construction of the new 20,000 ton battle ship whose keel will be laid in a few weeks, are forbidden to give out any information whatever to the newspapers or the public. So strict is the wording of the order that the officers in charge of the department of construction and repair, to whom it is particularly addressed, will not even give the name of the author. Rear Admiral Goodrich, commandant of the yard is in Washington, and it is believed that tne order had its origin there. One officer did venture the information that the contents of the document would probably be made public within a few days. William J. Baxter, naval constructor who will have charge of the building of the ship, refused to talk about anything connected with his department. "I am shut up tighter than a clam," he said. "Under this order we can not give out any information. I can not tell you when the keel of the new vessel will be laid. The order won't let me say how many men are to be taken on or laid off." REV. I. I. W. WILLIAMS TESTIFIES I. W. Williams, Huntington, Rev W.

HER BRIGHT SMILE TEACHER'S FORTUNE Duluth Millionaire Bequeaths Music Teacher $25,000. Chicago, July 9. Just because her bright smile still remained in the memory of Giles Gilbert, the Duluth millionaire, for two long years and was with him at his deathbed, Edith Bane, a teacher of the piano at the Sherwood Music School, is $2..0 richer than she had ever expected to be, and several hundred friends of the young Chicago woman are discussing the marvelous magnetism of her smile. When Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert were at the Windermere hotel in K"W Miss Bane's sympathetic heart wanned to the sad faced old lady, who appeared lonely in Chicago, despite her wealth. So the music teacher sought out Mrs. Gilbert, smiled on her, read to her and sacrificed some of her happy young life to make the older woman happy.
