MATTER
Maintains That His LotoWith TerrifiG Detonation
Seventh Street Cannot Huge Balloon of Ameri-
Be Had For $15,000
Will Erect Building
."People seem to think that the mat
tor of cutting the best portion of my
lot off on Seventh stro.-t is funny, but
let me tell you that it ih no joke. That
property is valuable ami for the ren
son that it stands out on Seventh at reel
in the way it does. It is worth money,
arid money it will take in order tn yet
it."
So answered John M. Hoot this morn
ing when asked regarding the property
v.'hieh he holds -n the eorner of River
side avenue ami Seventh street, whieh
extends into the street for some Hi
feet. The matter was discussed at some
length last evening hy the city council
and Mayor licddy was instructed to
confer with Mr. Hoot today, as the nth
er emineilmcn stuteil that they had
failed, as Mr. Kent "would not talk
business. ' '
The lot in ipicstion was purchased by
Mr. Hunt, when he lirst arrived in Mod
ford. He states thnt he realized the
advantages of having property which
extends in the manner this lot docs.
From nny place on Seventh street as
far out as the schonluouso a person will
be attracted by the building. It will
stnnd nut from the others, For this
reason Mr. Knot affirms that the loca
tion is worth money, as it is, but is not
worth much if the building is forced
back into line with the other buildings.
New Brick Building.
Mr. lioot proposes to erect a four
story brick building upon the site at a
cost' of $22,1100. This building will con
tain an electric elevator, be furnished
with steam heat and other up-to-date
appliances.tl lie states that such a
building will pay a goodly rental that
will anient to about $11111111 a year. This
will not be possible if the building is
Bet back.
Will Meet Council Tonight.
Mr. Knot will meet with the council
this evening und explain to them his
position. liitst evening the council sug
gested a number of remedies, among
which wen1 condemnation proceedings
setting the curb on the property line
and constructing a five-foot sidewalk.

THE PEAR CROP
Fruit Picking Will Be on
in Full Blast Next Week
-Some Are PiGking Now
The work of gat hering this year's
pear crop has been commenced in many
orchards of t he valley, but picking
will not be on in full blast until next
week. The fruit is ripening very rap
idly and, while the crop is not as heavy
as that of last year, still the fruit -is
of excellent quality and of splendid
size.
The Ilui it'll orchard will probably
have a ear ready for shipment by the
end of this week, as will one or two
other glowers. Next week five or six
ears will leave the valley.
This year's crop will not he as heavy
as that of last year, but enough will i
be taken from the trees to make the j
orchards pay handsome dividends.

King Manuel Banishes
Lord of Old Family For
Brutal Mistreatment of
Wife and Child
LISltoN, August 14. A modern Blnn
lleard was revealed today when the
facts leading lo Iho recent banishment
of (.'ount Margallio, a lord of tho old
Portuguese nobility, from King Man
uel's court becniue public. For tor
turing his beautiful young wifo until
alio went ilisano and so mistreating Ilia
infant child that it is feared tho littlo
one cannot live, the count was brought
before Ihe King and deprived of the
high offices he had held under the Into
King Carlos and was sent from Iho
country in disgrace.
The count married tho daughter of n
rich Lisbon bunker throo yonrs ago and
for a time lived happily with her. Two
years Inter both his wife and child dis
appeared und to questions concerning
their whereabouts Mnrgalhn nevor gavo
a satisfactory answer.
Investigation Ordered.
A police investigation was finally or
dered and detectives visited the count's
residence a few nights ago. Breaking
a tightly sealed door leading into an
attic chamber, they found the countess
ehniiod In Ihe Wall, her features dis
torted by suffering, her hnif whito and
her form reduced almost lo a skeleton.
The child, ill a wors indition than
its mot her, lay nu a pile of rags in a
comer half dead from hunger and neg
lect. So impaired had the mind of the
ciiutiless bei in by her fearful suffer
ing that she could not give an accurate
account of her imprisonment. -The serv
ants confessed Hint mill her and child
had been held ill the attic during the
entire year, fed only on broad and wa
ter. The Count's Defense.
In defense of his action, the count
assorted thai lie believed his wifo had
accepted attentions I'l a naval officer
whose name lie refused to give. He
iilmilted that In- had no'.liiiig more than
suspicions on which to base his accusa
lions. Why lie had punished the child
as well as te mother's act of infidelity
he could not explain.
King Manuel mid Onocil Atelia were
