New York, Nov 23. Whether or
not John D.Mtockefeler will be com
pelled to enlarge, the scope of his
testimony with reference to the his
tory of the Standard Oil. Co was ex
pected to be decided soon after the
hearing in the government's suit to
dissolve that corporation was resum
ed to-day. It bad been the plan of
the Standard's attorneys to have Mr
Rockefeller tell only of the compara
tively early years of the company's
existence, and when his direct ' ex
amination was' concluded no refer
ence had been made to any happen
ing later that 1882. It was announc
ed at that time that the remainder
of the Standard's story would be told
by John D..Archbold and other offi
cers of the company- who are more
familiar with the happenings of the
last quarter century. Apparently
this plan- did not meet with the ap
proval of the government and from
the first of his " cross examination
Frank B. Kellogg, the government
counsel, ' has sought to get beyond
the barrier raised by the termination
of Mr Rockefeller's direct examina
tion. In this he was not successful
but It Is his contention that Mr
Rockefeller himself by one of his
answers has made It possible for the
government to go as far as it likes
In the cross examination. In his tes
timony Mr Rockefeller had said that
the business "of refining oil was a
hazardous one, "even up to the pres
ent time." Mr Kellogg maintains
that Mr Rockefeller's statement that
the business-Is hazardous "up to the
present time" opens up to him the
whole period of the Standard's his
tory from its formation until , to-day,
Mr. Rockefeller testified that he did
not conceive the plan of the forma
tion of the Standard Oil trust In
1882. He said,"'! am sorry to say
that I didn't, r I cannot claim any
credit for that. Mr Flagler and S. C.
T. Dodd conceived It."
Refreshed by a day's rest Mr Rock
efeller was smiling when Frank B.
Kellogg as special assistant attorney
general resumed his . cross examina
tion. - Mr Kellogg's first inquiry was
whether all the stockholders of the
South, improvement Co afterwards
became holders of stock In the Stand
ard Oil Co of Ohio but Mr Rockefeller
said he did not think so, and when
Mr Kellogg read a list of the South
Improvement- Co's stockholders Mr
Rockefeller named several ' of them
who he said did not hold stock in the
Standard. Mr Rockefeller thought
there was an Increase in the stock of
the Standard Oil Co of Ohio from
$2,500,000 to $3,500,000 in 1875.
"In making the increase did you not
submit a paper on which appeared
the names of all the stockholders of
the South Improvement Co?" asked
Mr Kellogg.
"The paper would be the best evi
dence," replied Mr Rockefeller.
' Mr "Kellogg then read several
names from the papers arid Mr Rock
efeller said it was possible several of
those mentioned might have : been
stockholders of the Standard if they
had the money to purchase the stock
1 "How many railroad men did you
take into the Standard after 1870?"
"I could not say.""
"Was W. H. Vanderbilt a stock
holder?" ' I
"I can't say definitely. He might
have been a stockholder for a trifling
amount."
Fog Cause of Death. '
Pittsburg, Pa, Nov 23. Dense fog
in this city to-day resulted in the
death of a well known woman arc
teacher, the serious injury of a promi
nent business man, several street car
accidents and almost demoralized
railroad schedules. ' Miss Lillian Mc
Kee, supervisor of art in the North
Side high school, and W. S. Bell, a
well known and wealthy photograph
er, were run down by a passenger
train at Rosslyn station, a suburb.
Miss McKee was Instantly killed and
Mr Bell was seriously injured.

New Mllford, Nov 23. Forty cows
and seven horses perished In a fire
which this morning destroyed a
large barn on the farm of J. S. Ilal
plne located in the town of Bridge
water. Farming tools, a large quan
tity of hay, and other property in
cluding about three ton of tobac
co, bundled and ready for shipping
were also consumed, together with
other small buildings adjoining the
barn. The place is leased by a
Swede, named Nelson Johnson. It
is. believed that the flre was of In
cendiary origin. The loss Is esti
mated at about 110,000 with some
insurance.
When the flre was discovered by a
neighbor the structure was ablaze
from end to end, and seeing that
there was no chance-to save it, the
men who assembled to fight the fire
turned their attention to preventing
Its spread to the house nearby..
In this they were successful. It
Is said that a door which had been
nailed up for the winter recently at
one end of the barn was found to
have been opened. Two men who
had been fishing during the . night
were found who stated that they had
passed the barn about an. hour after
midnight, and at that time so far
as they knew the door had not then
been opened. One cow had managed
to get away from her stall and es
caped through the opened door.

PAYING FOR A MEAL
It Was Worth About a Shilling to Pick
. ; . ? These Bones. , '. r" '
"Colonel 'Ebenezer Sproat. of Revolu
tionary .fame iwts born and; bred-ls,
Middleboro, Mass. He was' always
fond of a joke and was quick to seize
an opportunity to, indulge his propen
sity,' as the following Incident illus
trates. His father, also a Colonel
Sproat, kept a tavern. . One day while
Ebenezer was at borne on a furlough
three private soldiers, on their return
from the seat of war, called for a cold
luncheon.
Mrs." Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants of
the family dinner, which her son
thought rather scanty fare for hungry
men. He felt a little vexed that the
defenders - of the country were not
more bountifully supplied. The sol
diers, after satisfying their appetites,
asked him how much they should pay.
Ebenezer said he would ask his moth
er. He found her in the kitchen. "'
"Mother," he said, "how much is it
worth to pick those bones?"
"About a shilling, I guess," she an
swered.
The young officer returned to the sol
diers and, taking from the barroom till
8 shillings and smiling genially upon
them, gave each. man one and .with
good wishes sent them on their way;
Mrs. . Sproat soon after came In and
asked Ebenezer what he had done with
the money for the soldiers' dinner.
In apparent amazement be exclaim
ed: "Money! Did I not ask you what
It was worth' to pick those bones, and
you said a shilling? I thought it little
enough, for the bones were; pretty
bare, and I handed the men the money
from the till, and they are gone."
Mrs. Sproat could not find heart to
reprove her favorite son for this mis
Interpretation of her words, and then
she, too, loved a joke, and so, after, an
instant's glum look, she laughed and
said It was all right .'...
' Had Sen Thorn All Before.
nee while James Whltcomb Riley
was visiting a town where he ' was
booked to give a reading a committee
called to take him in a carriage over
the city. In acknowledging the com
pliment he said: .
"IU go with you, gentlemen, provid
ed you promise that you will not show
me the new courthouse, the new town
ball, the new bridge, the new school
building and the new jail, for I've seen
them all a hundred times in as many
towns, and they invariably wear me
out before the time arrives for the
curtain to rise on the evening enter
tainment" , .
Influence of Mountains.
The influence of the mountain is pure
and holy, giving strength and simplic
ity, encouraging the older virtues, dis
couraging the newer vices. In the bill
men of Wales we see this clearly

wilder and more mountainous parts of
Wales and yon will find that rare In

Two-grShdchlldrtn'sifrvtve ;Wnu -
! Judge Cowell of the district court
locked horns with the telephone com
pany this morning and knocked the
big corporation out In the first round.
Last week the city laid a very hand
some walk from Cone's t'orner south
erly to a point below the Hod son
property and the thing pleased every,
body so that people gathered In
groups and talked about it and hoped
such work would be continued un
til every street In the city la equipped
In a similar manner. Before t bey
got through praising the job the tele
phone company came along and bat
tered a bole' In the pavement wide
and deep enough to bury an elephant.
They put a huge pole into the exca
vation ' and then went off without
even trimming up about the big
stick. This was followed by a cuss
word all around, almost every man
about the place wanting to know If
there Is any law which the telephone
people are obliged to respect. The
next move on the part of the com
pany was to start digging another
hole in the walk opopsite M. J. Mc
Evoy's cafe for another monarch of
(be forest. There is a pole there
now but it stands outside the curb in
the granite pavement. The plan was
to do away with the one in the street
after one had been set up in the
walk. The sidewalk Is narrow at that
point and the pole if erected would
make the situation worse than ever
before. Somebody got busy and when
the men were about half through the
portly figure of the judge of the dis
trict court was seen hurrying down
Harrison avenue. It was evident that
the eminent jurist had been put wise
to what was going on and was bound
to stop the erection of the pole. He
has charge of some property there,
Including the building where Mr Mc.
Evoy does business, and the moment
he wheeled into Exchange place he
Inquired of the men what they were
doing there. Of course they replied,
as usual, that they were going to put
a pole there. "Get out of there!" ex
claimed the judge with all the em
phasis he could put Into speech, add
ing that if ; they didn't stir around
lively and fill up the hole he would
have them all arrested. The men
stopped for a moment and looked at
his honor and seeing that he meant
It , they turned to and worked like
beavers until they bad filled the hole
good, and 'ttlcitiT and then they tamped
It until one could hardly tell that a
spade ever was put In It.
Judge Cowell was asked what he
Intended to do about it in case they
tried it aagin.' He said he didn't
look for any trouble over it. They
have no right to put a hole there, he
said, and I have told them so and 1
don't suppose they will try it again.
The workmen didn't know what to
make of It, but they were prudent
enough not to make a scene. It was
said that they had a permit from the
board of public works to put a pole
there,, but this Is not so. The com
pany used to consult the board of
public works about poles, but they
have. not done so In many years. They
go right ahead and put in Poles
wherever they please and don't seem
to. care whether the board of public
works or anybody else like their gait.
It is evident that the company does
not intend to fight, for men have
already dug a hole In the street be
side the old pole and the new one Is
on the ground ready to be dropped
into It. The streets of Waterbury
being common property to everybody
who wants to make money out of
them, except the city Itself, who can.
not make a conduit In them, nobody
will be likely to stop the company
from putting it down at the old
stand. r-
Cauning Much Anxiety.
Philadelphia, Nov 23. The dis
covery in this city of the presence of
the foot and mouth disease among
catle which Is prevalent in more than

THE POLICE IN TERLRED
Vienna, Nov 23. The German
and Italian students ', attending, the
university of Vienna came into col
lision in the university precincts to
day and before the police drove the
demonstrants away revolvers had
been freely used and a number of
young men wounded. .' i , ..' i
, The trouble was caused by an Ital
ian demonstration in favor of the. es
tablishment of an Italian university
at Trlest. The German speaking
students promptly organized a coun
ter demonstration. The opposing
factions totalled 1200 men and the
prelude to the fight was the singing
of patriotic airs, the "Italians using
the Garibaldi hymn and the Germans
the "Watch on the Rhine." The
fighting started with fists, sticks and
stones, but revolvers soon appeared
and a number of shots were fired.
The Italians were driven from the
building and gathered in the street
outside. At this stage the police ap
peared and promptly dispersed the
rioters with their swords.
