NEW YORK. Oct. 10.—Experiments con
ducted by Prof. John Trowbridge, of
Harvard University, have led to the defi

TUmfon, that lightning will not strike

whlcu force he says is at least compar
able to lightning and enabled him to de

••With my battery I was able to ob
tain electric sparks about seven feet long
and found that instead of striking the
water a spark of six or seven feet tn
length invariably Jumped to some adja

liquid surface. A Ofc ark of only a few

water, but suer, a spark is not compar
able to lightning.
"Beyond a uu»lion voits the Initial re
sistance of atmosphere air to electric
discharges less and less, and the
discharge therefore is shunted through
the air instead of upon the water and
strikes some object adjacent to the
Water.”

BY IRON TRADE REVIEW
WEEK’S MARKET IS TOLD
CLEVELAND. 0.. Oct. 9,-The Iron
Trade Review prints the following con
cerning market conditions in Its current
issue:
The greek has emphasized thp differing
conditions of the Bessemer and open
hearth departments of the steel trade. In
creasing competition in sheets and wlgn
products had led to reductions in price,
and similar condltieps in the Un plate
trade are expected to be met by similar
action. It is not that consumption of these
products has fallen off—except that in tin
plate the decreased canning demand bas
been the chief factor. The increase of ca
pacity beyond the needs of the county,
even in this record year, has been accu
mulating influence that required to be
reckoned with sooner or later. The cut of
85 in the price of light sheets put to the
test the ability of mills buying their
steel in the open market, to compete with
concerns that are grounded in ore and
fuel. Announcement is made that one idle
mill of the American Sheet Steel company,
will start up next week and that one or
two others will probably follow.
In the wire trade the reduction is 52 on
nails and smooth wire, and 87 on barb
wire. Here also the pressure of growing
capacity is tying felt, though the demand
is quite up to expectations for the sea
son. The export trade will be increasingly
resorted to as a safety valve. In wrought
pipe there are also evidences in recent con
cessions in price that the ranks of produc
ers have been filling up.
The week has brought no sign that the
general conditions governing the consump
tion of iron and steel have changed for
the worse, except such as grow out of the
uneasiness felt over the effects of the an
thracite strike. It is apparent that manu
facturing operations will be crippled if
the strike is not soon ended, and that blast
furnaces and foundries will have plenty
of company in fuel hardships. The coke
situation has not Improved. Foundries are
being saved from serious loss by the for
eign pig Ison that Is now coming freely,
but many blast furnaces are worse off
than for weeks. In the Mahoning ap<i She
nan go valleys eight are reported nan ked
this week. The leading producer of Con
nellsville coke has not yet made sales to
the blast furnsyes for next year, but thd
price is expected to be close to 83 at the
ovens.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA.'MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, IVOft
LUMBER MEN
NOW WANT
COMBINE
HAVE ISSUED A CALL FOR A
MEETING TO BE HELD AT ST.
LOUIS IN DECEMBER TO PER
FECT ORGANIZATION.
The representatives of tbe lumber as
sociations of the southern section of the
United States before the adjournment of
their meeting at the Kimball house Wed»
nesday afternoon issued a call for a meet
ing of to be held at the South
ern hotel in St. Louis, December 9 and
10, at which time a national association
will be forrryd with members from every
part of the country. The associations
represented at the meeting were the Geqr
gia Saw Mill association, the Gulf Coa*t
Lumber association, the Soutt Atlantic
Lumber association, the North Carolina
Pine association and the Southern Lum
ber Manufacturers’ association. The call
Is as follows:
"We, the accredited representatives of the
Georgia Saw Mill Association, the Souther®
Lumber Manufacturers Association, the North
Carolina Pine Association, South Atlantic Lum
ber Association, and the Gulf Coast Lumber
Association, speaking in our representative
right for aq annual production of 6,500,000,000
of feet, assembled in conference at the Kim
ball house, Atlanta, Ga., this October 8, WO2,
for the purpose of discussing matters of cam
pon interest to our various associations, de
clare in favor of a national organization of
lumber manufacturers, to be, either a delegate
body—a federation of lumber manufacturer's
associations —or an independent organization,
whichever may be determined, at a general
meeting which we herewith announce. This for
the following reasons:
"First. Because there is now no national
aasociation of strictly lumber manufacturers
in this country.
“Second. Because this seems to this con
ference committee to be ap opportunity to
crystalize an almost unanimous sentiment for
a national organization among lumber manu
facturers. and considering the enormous out
put of lumber which we represent that we
should be derelict in our duty if we failed to
make some effort to bring about such an or
ganization.
' Third. Because ap organization of this sort
Is, in our opinion, the only body which can
successfully handle these vital questions, vis:
The question of car supply, the question
car equipment, the question of insurance, tire
question of customs and usages in the ex
tension of credits, the question of uniform
grades and gauges, and the —soon to be—ques
tion of the revision of the tariff on lumber.
"Therefore, on the basis of these particular
necessities, and for the general good, we call
a meeting of all lumber manufacturers asso
ciation. and of all lumber manufactured —
la or out of associations—to convene at the
Southern hotel, St. Louis, Mo., December 9
and 10. 1902.
"That the secretary of this conference com
mittee be Instructed to issue a particular in
vitation to the officials of all lumber manu
facturers’ associations in the United States,
asking them to be represented by a committee
of their members in such number as they
may elect.
’ "That this document be sent to aU lumber
trade papers in the United States with a re
quest for publication.
"That the publication of this document in
the lumber trade papers be considered an
urgent Invitation to all manufacturers of lum
ber to be present at and to take part in the
deliberations of that meeting on an equal basis
with' the lumber associations."

SHARKEY ISIeLEASEiT
ON BAIL FIXED AT $7,500
NEW YORK. Oct. 10.—Thomas J. Sharkey,
who is charged with being responsible for the
death of Nicholas Fish, banker, and who is
under indictment for manslaughter in the first
degree, has been released on 87,600 ball by Re
corder Goff, after three weeks' imprisonment.
Originally the amount of ball was fixed at
815,000.
Speaking of the case Recorder Goff said:
"The amount of bail originally set by me at
$16,000 was only tentative, and was subject to
reduction at the request of the accused man’a
attorneys. District Attorney Jerome appeared
before me with Thomas F. Foley and said
he was willing to have Sharkey released on
$7,500 ball.”
Dawson’s Tax Rate.
DAWSON, Ga„ Oct. 9.—Dawson’s tax
rate this year is doubtless less than that
of any other city In Georgia. The city
council at yesterday's session fixed the
tax rate at only 84 on the thousand, and
as no county tax at all for this year will
be by the authorities of Terrell
county, the citizens of Dawson will,
scarcely know that they are paying taxes.
Mrs. James D. Gelse died this morning
of pneumonia. Her death is doubly sad
as she leaver a Infant only three
weeks old. Her husband is the brqgher of
Mrs. D. J. Ray, of A lanta.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—Mysterious feat
ures surround two attempts at murder
and afterward a suicide on the lower
West side.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Adams, wife of a
plastqrer, was admitted to a hospital,
where she Is being treated for a bullet
wound In the head. She was accompanied,
’by Henry Brockstedt. How she received
the wound is not known as the stories told
do not agree.
Twenty-four hours later Brockstedt en
tered the Adams hime and found the
husband of tbe wounded woman there
alone. He attacked Adams with a revol
ver. beafing him over the bead and then
spot him.
The police took up the chase and a few
hours later found Brockstedt dead in his
room in Dominick street. He had swal
lowed a quantity of carbolic acid and
tnen shot himself.
Adaxnjj was convened to the hospital,
where h|e wife lay. The couple were per

than that Brockstedt had attempted a
double murder, because of Jealousy,
OLD LEGACY REVIVED
FOR GEORGIA UNIVERSITY
ATHENS, Ga., Oct. 10.—The University
of Georgia has a legacy of between six
and eight million dollars. This statement
will sefim rather surprising to many,
though the gift is not one of the last few
years.
The provisions of this legacy make quite
an interesting story. Dr. Charles McCoy,
at one time a member of the faculty of
the university, bequeathed at his death,
which occurred in Baltimore about twenty
y«ira ago, 820,000 to the institution in
which he had taught, vVlth the sum which
was Invested In railroad stocks, should be
compounded annually at the rate of Inter
est obtainable until his youngest grand
son should become 21 years old. At that
t{xne several of Dr. McCoy’s children were*
very ybung, and ft Is pfob a ble that the
terra of years which the condition em
braces will exceed T 5 years.
Dr. McCoy’s purpose in arranging his
bequest to the university as he did was
obviously that the principal might, after
continual compounding, amount to a very
large sum.
Treasurer A. L. Hull, of the university,
has estimated that the amount will be, at
the time the university may qjalm It. be
tween six tyid eight mllllofi dollars, and
his estimate. is based upon quite a low
rate of interest.
While it Is a number of years before the
legacy may be obtained, nevertheless it is
one of certainty, and the amount will give
the university the largest endowment of
any Institution In the south.
Clyde Boats Collide at Charleston.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—The officers of the
Clyde, line of steamships today received
word that their steamship Apache collid
ed with the Lroqubls, of the same line, in

The AP» che was beached and the Iro
quois returned to hqr wharf. It is as

BUTCHERS
FAMILY
■CRAZED BY MENTAL STRAIN,
YOUNG INVENTOR CHOPS UP
HIS MOTHER, SISTERS AND
BROTHERS.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 10.—While laboring
under tHte mental aberration, the result
of strain of perfecting an appliance for
an air brake, which is pending in Wash
ington, D. C., Charles Cajvley, a 17-year
old boy, of Homestead, Pa., early today
killed his mother and one sister and fa
tally injured four other children.
He tried also to kill his two elder broth
ers. but was detected, overpowered and
turned over to the police. •
The weapjon used was an axe, with
which he crushed and hacked his vic
tims beyond recognition.
The dead:
MRS. HANNAH CAWLEY, aged about
40 years, head and upper portion of her
body almost pounded to a Jelly.
BELL CAWLEY, aged 12. who slept
with her mother; head frightfully crushed.
The fatally Injured who are at South
Side hospital are:
Josephine, the baby of the family, aged
lo months, head and chest battered..
Adeline, aged 6, skull fractured.
Raymond, aged 6. head horribly injured.
Agnes, aged 10, head crushed.
The Cawleys lived in a new six-room
house on Sixth avenue In Homestead and
last night all the members retired about
10 o’clock. Mrs. Cawley and Belle occu
pied one bed, while the others. Josephine.
Adeline, Raymond and Agnes, occupied
other beds and cribs in the same room,
which is on the second floor rear. Charles,
the murderer, his brothers, James, aged
20 and Harry, aged 14, occupied the front
room second floor, adjoining their moth
er’s room.
Dressed for Murder.
Some time about 3 o'clock this morning
Charles quietly arose, and dressing him
self, all but putting on his shoes, crept
down to the cellar and secured an axe.
Coming up stairs he went into his moth
er’s room, where the victims were all
sleeping. After turning up the light, the
maniac approached his mother’s bed
side, swung the axe high in the air and
brought it down with such force that the
skull was crushed.
The mother evidently never knew what
struck her, but the crazed son, thinking
. that his first blow did not do its work,

ANGERS REPUBLICANS
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 9.—The Re
publicans of Alabama are much displeased
over the appointment of Judge Thomas
R. Roulhac, of Sheffield, as district at
torney for the northern district of Ala
bama to succeed William Vaughan, who
was removed some time since.
Judge Roulhac is a Democrat and the
Republicans regard his appointment as
a rebuke to the spirit which led to the
. elimination of the negro from the party
'councils in Alabama.
They appear to believe that the pres
ident is opposed to the elimination of the
negro and is taking the negroes part in
the fight. They say that the president'
should sympathize with their effort to
build up a respectable white party In Ala-'
bama and many are very bitter against
him for his alleged lack of sympathy.

statement regarding the strike of tbe Uni
ted Mine Workers in the Birmingham dis
trict has been issued by William R. Fair
lev, a member of the national executive

was fbr the company to discharge men

qpt because the company declined to col
lect it. He makes a strong plea flor pub
lic sympathy and seeks to show that the
fight is aimed at organized labor.

AUDITOR FOR G., J. AND S.
FILES REPORT ON ROAD
GAINESVILLE, Ga„ Oct. 9.—Hon. H.
H. Perry has filed a report of his decision
ip the Gainesville. Jefferson, and South
er® railroad case, with the- clerk of the
court. The report is a very lengthy one.
and covers all the issues Involved in the
case.
The auditor found that the laborers
who operated the road in February, 1897.
and on tbree days of March of the same
year, were entitled to pay. with legal
interest, and should be paid by the Geor
gia railroad, who operated the G. J. and
S. when a receiver was appointed and
then owed the employes over 81,900, which
has not been paid.
Tbe auditor also found that the Georgia
road obtained 8161,560 of bonds from tbe
G. J. & S. at less than ten cents on the
. dollar. This transaction was bona fide,
and there was no intention to evade the
usury law. These bonds are now in the
hands of Innocent purchasers, who, the
auditor holds, are entitled to full face
value for them.
Oqe hundred and thirty thousand dollars
of stock was bought at the same time as
the bonds, which was fully paid for.
The bonds and stock were sold at the
same time for 8145,850. A written agree
ment stipulated that payment in full for
the stock should first be made out of
the 8145,850, leaving only 815,850.
Buying bonds fdr less than ten cents on
rtbe dollar, they claim, renders them usu
rious, and only the amount actually ad
vanced could be recovered, but the audi
tor holds that there is a difference be
tween the sale of bonds by a corpora
tion and the borrowing of money by a
private individual, and that the defense of
usurer should ndt avail.
The auditor further finds that the
Gainesville and Dahlonega Electric Rail
road company owns a joint interest with
the G. J. and S. for use of the right of
way for a certain distance in this city,
for the old Gainesville and Dahlonega
road projected years ago, bought it and
the two agreed to use it jointly. The
new electric road company has purchased
all the rights of the old company, and
therefore now has the right to use it
Jointly with the G. J. and S. The audi
tor finds further that the account against
the G. J. and S. by the Georgia is not
barred by the statute of limitations on
account of the mutual dealings of the
two companies. All these issues in the
case will lixely be carried to the supreme
court.
GRAND ARMY REPUBLIC
HAS SELECTED TRISCO
WASHINGTON, Oct. ll.—The Grand
Army of the Republic has decided by
a large vote to hold Its encampment in
1903 at San Francisco. Practically the
only competitor was Atlantic City, but a
few votes were cast for Saratoga.
Before the place of meeting was chos
en, the list of national officers was com
pleted. A. W. Atchison, of Texas, was
.chosen surgeon general, and Rev. D. H.
Shuey, of Kansas, chaplain in chief.
During the day the commitee on legis
lation presented its report. The report
was devoted especially to - the effort to
secure a modification of the civil service
laws In the Interests of the veterans,
which it was stated tljgt congress had
failed to concede. The committee finds
that the president is in hearty sympathy
with the effort to secure a broader recog
nition of the claims of the soldiers, and
In marked contrast to the attitude of
congress.”
