    “Pig Killer” in Slaughter House
Became Suddenly Insane.
With Maniacal Shriek Man Turned From
Pig Sticking to Man-Killing---He
' Terrified 300 Men.
Saomerville, Mass.~—With a maniac
al shriek, John Murphy turned from
plg-sticking to. man-killing in the
North Packing and Provision Com- |
gany"s slaughter house, and, drivmg!
is fellow workmen before him, slew |
seven of them and wounded WO
others, .
According to some of the work
men, Murphy had been acting pecu
liarly for some days.
While at work, he suddenly uttered
a blood-curdling scream zfl sprang
at Dr. Hayes, waving his 18-nch ra-|
gor-edge knife in his hand. He cul |
Dr. Hayes a deep gash oun the neck,
stabbed him over the heart and prac
tically disemboweled him,
The terrified workmen rushed for
the door, but Murphy ran after them,
slaghing right and left. Kvery mau
whom he struck went down with a'
groan, The crowd plunged down
stairs, with Murphy after them, andl
at every landing he cut somebody.
On the second floor, one of the work-l
men, an Italian, seized a heavy bar}
of iron and felled Murphy, but he
was quickly on his feet again and
wounded another.man,
On the street floor, he was given
another heavy blow on the head, and
his knife was wrenched from his
hand. Two police officers came in
to assist the workmen, and Murphy
was given a fearful beating before he‘
was finally overpowered and taken
to the police station. i
Murphy is 50 years old, weighs 200
pounds, and was regarded as one Of |
the strongest men in the plant. He
bhad been employed at pig-killing forl
some years by the North Company.
He is married and lives in Somerville.
Murphy had worked for the North’
Company for five years, coming to
Somerville from Jowa nine years ago.‘
The witnesses of the slaughter said
that more than 300 employees were’
driven from the plant when Murphy
started on his wild rush through the
six floors and basement of the build
ing, and not a few men escaped death
by narrow margin,
Murphy is in the padded cell of the
Somerville police station. When City
Physician C. C. Towne attempted to‘
examine him, Murphy sprang at the
doctor and attempted to kick him. 1
WOMEN BOUND AN TORTURED.,
Shocking Outrage by Five Maskedl
Robbers. ‘
Pittsburg, Pa—A brutal outrage,
perpetrated by unknown robbers at
Belmont, Pa., near here, has aroused
the community, and a lynching is
threatened if the men are captured.
Five men, all masked, broke into
the home of Mrs, Minnie Ashe, aged
90, in the outskirts of the mining vid
lage, and ransacked the place. With
the aged woman were here daughter,
Mrs. Mary Ober, 60 years old, and
her granddaughter, Miss Minnie Ober,
23 years old. The men found only
$3.50 in the house, and, believing
there was more, they bound the three
women and subjected them to merci
less tor,;ure. |
The men tore wires from the pic
tures hanging on the walls, and fas
tened thle three women to chairs.
They then bared their feet and held
lighted candles to them. Partially
unconscious, the women were other
wise abused. Before leaving the
house the burglars released Miss
Ober, who recovered sufficiently to
summon help. |

CHINESE BUYING LOT'TUN GOODS.
Exports in Past Few Months Show
| Heavy Increases.
~ Washington, ). C.—ln a statement
issued by the bureau of statistics of
the department of commerce and la
bor, it is shown that exports of cot
ton goods to China are increasing.
The report says that China, i,s, as a
rule, tHe largest purchaser 6f Amer
ican cottons, but in the vears of 1907
and 1908 the exports of cotton cloths
to that country fell to a small fraction
of those of the immediatly preceding
vears. This large failing off was due,
chiefly, at least, to the fact that the
imports of that country in 1905 and
1906 were abnormally large and far
in excess of the actual consuming
power of that market. The statement
of the bureau of statistics shows that
in April the quantity of cotton goods
exported to China was 16,000,000,
vards, against 7,000,000 in April of
last vear, and in the ten months end
ing with April 1909, the total export
of cotton cloths was 100,000,000,
against 30,000,000 yards in the corres
ponding period of 1908.

How to Increase the Yield of Fruit
Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good manage
ment than of good luck. Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal
supply of
®w° C °
Virginia-Carolina
Fertili
The trees absorb plant foods—that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash—from the soil just the same as any other crop. - Experi
ence has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so
well recognized that “ return to the land what the tree removes if you
would expect the best results ” has become an axiom with. the best
growers.
Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond to
careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers.
« I made a test with other companies’ fertilizers,” says Mr. H. O.
Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla., and yours proved to be the best.
The yield where I wsed Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as
much as where the other two companies’ fertilizer was used.”
Hundreds of users say Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest
because of their good qualities—give better satisfaction and quicker
results.
Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are pub
lished in the new 1909 Farmers’ Year Book, a copy of which will be
sent free on application to any of our sales offices.
