market. Business was brisk during the
early hours of trading, .prices being firm

Dealers who handle potatoes are
hustling to sell at present prices, as they
look for a decline within a few daya.
Northern potatoes are quoted north at
H.3V, and that is said to mean $1.25 here.
Sweets Job at ta.OOj/U.ffi, a decline of 50c.
Onions are eteady, with an abundant
supply in the market. . - .«•>-.■
Peaches Job at 9UC&J1.25 a box.
At the call session of the exchange
there was close bidding on local and
northern eggs, but no sales. Ileceipts ot
locals were 126 cases. '•
i Butter 1b said to be firmer. Receipts
were 16,495 poudns.
All kinds of fish were in sufficient sup
ply to meet the demand.
The grape growers of the San Joaquln
valley, alarmed at the outlook for the
harvest season, have appointed commit
tees to canvass all available fields for
labor. There are 350,000 tons of grapes
to be gathered, and by piece work at tha
wages offered, good workmen can earn
from $2.25 to $3.50 per day. The best
crops along the coast line in the southern
part of the state are extraordinarily
heavy this year, and the labor is most
inadequate. Santa Clara valley reports
a prune crop «hls year twice as heavy as
last.

Four Honey Bees Empty an Electric
Car Quickly and Hold Up
Trolley Service
Special to The Herald.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Sept. 6.— Four
honey bees held up trolley car No. 66
on the down trip from Shelton to
Bridgeport and tied up the Connecti
cut Street Railway &. Lighting com
pany for fifteen minutes. One combat
ive bee drove all six passengers from
the car and Into the bushe9 on the road
side, where they awaited developments.
The car reached signal light No. 8, a
mile and a half north of the Stratford
railway station, on time. Motorman
Will Owens stopped the car; the con
ductor, Peter Osterwies, Jumped off to
regulate the light so that the car fol
lowing could pass a signal box two
miles back.
As Osterwies approached the box a
bee Issued from a hole In it which had
been bored to admit a wire not yet
put- in. The bee made a straight line
for Osterwies' head and while he was
striking at It and retreating another bee
came out of the box, flanked Osterwies
and Jabbed a good elxed drop of poison
behind the conductor's ear.
"Ouch!" yelled Osterwles, retreating
behind the car.
"I'm late now," growled a passenger
to Osterwies, "You're a brave man,
you are, afraid of a bee."
At the Bneer a bee looking for fight
entered the car and the passengers
nearly fell over each other getting out.
"Hey, Pete, throw over that signal!"
yelled Motorman Owens, pounding his
bell to bring the passengers back.
"Not on your life!" retorted Peter.
"I've taken chances with a mad bull,
but no bees for mine."
Finally Owens cautiously approached
the signal. Perhaps it was his sulphur
ous oaths, perhaps the blows from' his
raincoat, that drove away the bees.
They,vanlshed, the brave passengers
returned, the signal was made, and
traffic was resumed.
The nights along the Housatonle river
have been exceptionally cold lately. The
bees were attracted by the warmth of
the electric lights in the signal box
probably.
FUEL TO REPLACE COAL
Daniel Drawbaugh, Known as Discov-
erer of Telephone, Announce*
New Preparation
Special to The Herald.
CARLISLE, Pa.. Sept. 6.— The aged
Daniel Drawbaugh, whose litigations
In the federal courts many years ago
against Alexander Bell made him
known as the prior Inventor of the
telephone, notwithstanding Bell's gain-
Ing the patent suits on technicalities,
and who has been turning out many in
ventions at Eberly's Mills In rapid
succession for the last twenty-five
years, has announced that wlth» the
aid of Dr. B. 19. Gamble he has dis
covered fuel to take the place of coal.
This new fuel Is being manufactured
now at Bowmanadale, east of Carlisle,
under a secret process. It Is composed
of chemicals and a fibrous matter and
•weighs only half as much as coal. The
new fuel will tm made In different
slied moulds. Tests mads yesterday
•with the new fuel show that It does
not clinker, burns to a fine ash, emits
little gas and burns freely, gives off
more heat than coal and lasts longer.
This artificial fuel will probably cost
about one-half as much as coal. The
genius of Drawbaugh, who Is now al
most an octogenarian, has produced
hundreds of Inventions, which range
all the way from the collapsible lunch
box, electric bells and the first nail
inaklnir machine to the higher grade or
electrical grain weighing devices, the
pneumatic, tool, original telephone and
Interchangeable apparatus. There aro
hundreds of persons In this locality
who talked over Drawbaugh's wireless
telephone almost twenty years ago.
It would require secveral newspaper
columns to \merely enumerate Draw
baugh's various inventions, but with
all these the wizard has amassed but
a moderate fortune. He has never
been known to err materially In his
Judgment concerning electrical or
mechanical matters and one of his
principal delights Is In mystifying col
lege professors with unique results he
obtains In his researches.
MAGNET AS CRANE HOIST
Handling of Iron and Steel Facilitated
by an Electrical Device
In Cleveland
Special to The Herald.
CLEVELAND, Sept. 6.-A novel ap
plication of electricity In the handling
of Iron and steel is now In operation
here In the way of a magnet. ,
' This magnet consists of a large Iron
disk supported by chains which may
be fastened to the hoop of a derrick or
crane block. To the top of the disk
Is applied an electric plug device, con
nected with Insulated wires, which, by
an Ingenious auxiliary pulley arrange
ment, are led to a controller at some
convenient point at the base of the
derrick, or in the operator's cab of the
crane. The disk Is lowered over the
material to be lifted and the current
turned on, and In this way enormous
loads of material may be gathered to
gether and held by the magnet as long
as the current remains connected.
Different forms of the disk are made
for handling pig Iron, heavy melting
stock, such as crop ends, butts, steel
risers, small castings, tin acrap,
whether loose or In bales; shearing
scrap, rod scrap, bolts, nuts, punches,
rivet spikes, nail ends, machine bor
ings, flats, sheets and, in fact, almost
any form of iron or steel which affords
a surface sufficiently large for the
magnet to act upon.
When the material has been carried
to the place where it Is to be deposited
the current Is turned off and the mag
net at once releases the load. Scrap
tin has always been an ugly form of
material to handle satisfactorily, but
by the use of this devlro It may be
disposed of as rapidly and as easily as
heavier stock.
TWINS TOO SLOW; TRIPLETS

"I do feel well onough to be up and

face wreathed In smiles, "but the
folks Insist that I remain In bed.' I
assure you, 1 will be up tomorrow.
"As I said, wo hope to Increase, our
family by twelve before old age comes.
But David and I are now 45 years of
age each, and you can guess why we
hope for triplets or quadruplets the
next time."

culars
Charles H. Selvers, who has been
employed by several of the brewing
companies of Los Angeles, was arrest
ed yesterday by United States Deputy
Marshal Bert Franklin on the chargo
of sending; Übelous matter through tlm

ture to Investors In different parts of
the state, in which the statement was
made that the stock of the Humboldt
Brewing company of Kureka was al
mostwalueless. ■»

which would be Interested In having

him to send out the circulars.
