tition—The House Work.
Washington, April 16. — The fiio

it having been printed. —
Mr. Vest introduced a bill to prohibit
the contracts by the postmaster-general
with any steamship company making
unjust discrimination against any part
of the United Staten as to imports by
vessels carrying foreign mails. In con
nection with the bill afld before asking
its reference to the committee on com
merce, Mr, Vest said he desired to snb-
mit certain resolutions of the mer
chants’ exchange of the city of St.
Lonis.
There was a small attendance of the

Vrith a short sword and a revolver
sprang from before thepnlpit. With
one blow of the sword he.nearly decapi •
tated the priest, killing him instantly.
The priest partly turned his head, and
observing bis danger, put up his hand
to protect his head, and part of his
hand was cut off. Male worshipers at
tempted to capture the assassiu, but he
fired among them with his revolver
until it was empty, and then slashed
about with his sword until he cleared a
passage to the door and escaped. Cue
woman was killed by a revolver shot
und a number of people wounded by
sword cuts and a still larger number
were thrown down and trampled upon
in the panic. The assassin was rot re
cognized, but has been vaguely identi-
fiidfrom description. No reason for
e i ragedy could be assigned, except
Ine surmise that the man was insane.

mense plant of the Sample Lumber com
pany at Hollins. Clay county, owned by

church door. No gTeat damage was
done to the church and nobody hurt,

SLAVERY NOT EXTINCT-
Destitution and Desperation.
Vicksburg, Miss., April 18.—Serious
trouble is apprehended at Hardtimes,
La., where 300 to 400 levee laborers are
out on a strike. The men claim to have

only 24 years, and leaves a little babe 9
months old.
Vessels Fitted Out for Carrying on the
Trade In Guatemala.
San Francisco, April 18.—That
slavery still exists on the Pacific coast
is evidenced by the fact that the steamer
Monserrat is fitting out here for a black
bird cruise, and will sail for Gilbert
island, whence it will’ carry a hold full
of natives to work on the Guatemala
plantations. Though all this is to be
done nnder the guise of an equitable
contract, it is none the less slavery, aud
the projectors of the cruise are keeping
the matter quiet. To divert suspicion
tho Monserrat will sail first to Nanimo,
whence it. will start oa its real errand.
It will not fly the stars and stripes, bnt
Americans own it and Americans will
sail it. Last September the brig Ta-
hite. loaded with 400 Gilbert islanders,
and notoriously a slaver, was blown off
its conr. e, and put in at Dnke’s bay, a
few miles from this port.
Learning that it was likely to be
seized, its captain put hurriedly to sea,
and the next that was heard of it was
when it was sighted, bottom np, off the
coast, all its crew and cargo having
perished. The same people have plan
ned the Monserrat slaving cruise, hoping
to recoup themselves. There will 'be
no difficulty in getting a cargo, as agents
nt the island are now at work inducing
the natives to sign contracts. On the
Monserrat vail sail Bhthoriu, king
king of Butaritari, Gilbert, island, who
came here a short time ago, avowedly
to get this government to establish a
protectorate over the islands. It is said
tho king will not lose anything by the
slaver's ernise.

hi a sad drama closed with the burial of
Mrs. M. E. Worsham. The interment
was made at Rose Hill cemetery. Mrs.
Worsham died from the effects of a
dose of "rough on rats” which she
took Friday with suicidal intent. About
one year ago Mrs. Worsham became
'"«zy and was sent to the lunatic asy-

attention, mid it was thought her life;
could be saved, bnt this proved impossi-

lynched at Inverness by a mob of 150
men.
0.\ Monday eight negroes were canght,
one of whom was a woman. She con
fessed, and implicated two others. Alt

A strong guard and the pleadings of the
jailer did not prevent the jail being
broken open.
The names of those hnng are Jerry
Williams, George Davis and Willie
Williams; then Albert Robertson, who
was left at the jail bnt implicated by
the first three for the killing of Steven
son and Payne Friday night.

Negroes congregated in large num
bers, bnt offered uo violence, although
well armed with Winchesters. The ne
groes are in great strength at the mines,
and it is estimated that fifteen hundred

future outbreaks are expected at any
time.
ON TRIAL AGAIN.
OX THE MOVE.
A SHERIFF’S POSSE
Fire Into a Crowd r.t Sports—Tho Fire
Is Returned.
Anoka, Minn., Ap it 19.— A terrific
pitched battle occurred in Anoka town
ship, two miles southeast o. : Anoka vil
lage. Two hundred sports from St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Stillwater gath
ered at a tavern, aud had just started a
tght between a couple of thoroughbred
Lull dogs from St. Paul and Minneapolis
when Sheriff Lenfest and forty deputies
surrounded the building and began
shooting. This stampeded the crowd,
which ran in every direction, some of
the sports returning the fire. Clubs
and stones were also resorted to. Every
window in the building was shot out,
and bullets went through the coats of
several of the participants.
Patrick Stanley, of St. Paul, was tbe
only man seriously injured. His right
leg was so badly shattered by a charge
from a shot gun that he .will lose the
member. The sheriff’s men soon quelled
the sports, and each of them was re
quired to put up $10 for appearance at
the next term of court at Anoka. Of
course the money, nearly $2,000 in all,
will be forfeited.
Elisha Underwood Has a Second Hearing
on tho Cliargo of Murder.
Atlanta, April 19.—Elisha A. Under
wood, who killed Aleck Sayre a year and
a half aco is again on trial for mnrder
in tlie Supreme court. Underwood was
convicted and sentenced to hang on a
former trinl by the supreme court. Un
derwood and Sayre were both railroad
men. Underwood was boarding at
Sayre’s house. Both men had been
drinking, and as the result of a dispute
Underwood shot and killed Sayre in his
own home in the presence ot his wife
and her brother.
The case will probably occupy sev
eral days. When asked to plead guilty
or not guilty to the charge of murder
by the solicitor, Unerwood with a va
cant stare in his eye, replied “Guilty.
His attorneys, however, withdrew the
plea and plead not guilty for the ac
cused. Underwood’s manner and his
plea attracted much attention. It is
believed by some that he has lost his
mind. He is very fat and bears himself
with a peculiarly listless air.
State militia Disarmed*
Morgan City, April 19. — General
Farles, according to instructions of
Governor Nicholls, disarmed Company
A, St. Mary Artillery, on the pretext
adduced by tbe Fosterites of Franklin,
that the armory was too close to the
polling booth, and might be used to in
timidate voters on election day. As the
majority of the members of the oom-

they were removed to the armory and
turned over to prominent Fosterites for
safe keeping.
Stole a Contribution Box.
Atlanta, April 19.—A most heathen
ish theft was perpetrated at St. Lake’s
Episcopal church on Sunday. A mis
sionary contribution box containing
about $50, most of the amount in pen
nies, was stolen. The box was placed
in the Sunday school room of the church
over a year ago. for the collection of
"birth-day pennies.” Whenever the
birth-day of teachers or scholars came,
they dropped a peuny in the box for
each year of their age. The box was i
its usual place during the first pan t.f
tbe Easter services , but when the exer
cises were over it was moved. The de
tective department was notified, and if
possible the thief .will be captured.

horses and cattle.

H# Attacked the Romanists Through the
Columns of His Paper.
New York, April 19.—The attacks on
ihe Catholic clmrch which have ap
peared in Colonel Shepard’s Mail and
Express, have cause 1 the Republican
leaders considerable annoyance. The
matter was brought formally before the
Republican county executive committee
at the last meeting by the reading of
the following letter from Senator John
Sherman:
Dr. Michael Walsh: ’
DgAR SIR—Yours of the ilth received. I
read the extracts you refer to from Colonel
Shepard’s paper, aud have no hesitancy in
saying that he does not represent the views
of representatives, bnt only his own. I
think no Republican desires to interfere
with a man’s religions convictions, nor
should this question enter in any respect
into the domain of party politics.
[Signed.] John Sherman.
The committee passed a resolution
similar to one in Senator Sherman’s let
ter condemning Colonel Shepard and
repudiating the utterances of his paper
on this subject.

THE GREAT FIGHT.
The Poltttoat Battle for Supremacy in
Louisiana.
New Orleans. April 19.—The great
fonr-sided political battle in the state of
Louisiana between the two factions of
the Democratic party and the two wings
of tbe Republican party, has reached its
cKmax in this general election.
The Third Party are also in the field,
bnt will receive scant notice. Accord-
ingly, there are five state tickets in the
field, viz.: McEnery, Democrat; Foster,
Democrat; Breaux, Republican; Leon
ard, Republican; and Tannehill, Third
Party. The election is for state officers,
district, parish and local officers and
the municipal government of New Or
leans.
All ballots printed are against the
lottery amendment. A vigorons fight
will be made on the legislature which
may have to count the vote to determine
the result if charges of frand are made.
The weather is warm and cloudy. The
polls opened throughout the state and
city with no disturbance, An honr later
drfficnlty arose at the first precint of
the fifth ward where a heated contest is
going on. The row was between a Fos
ter and a McEnery supporter. Pistols
were drawn bnt the shooting was
averted.
No special officers have been sworn
in, but Major Glynn, of tbe state mili
tia, has detailed troops at the different
arsenals as a means of precaution.
The state officers this morning say the
soldiers will not be ordered ont except
a serious difficulty occurs. Killing John
B. Madden in Blaiborne parish by Mar
shal Lewis over politics in a parish,
strongly favoring Foster, creates a feel-
iug of uneasiness throughout the state.
The indications are that fully 90 per cent
of the 50,000 registered voters will ex
ercise their rights. A heavy negro vote
is being cast in the state.
ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.

Washington, April 19.—At a meet
ing of the executive officers of the soci
ety of the Army of the Cumberland, the
date of the next reunion of the society
to be held on the battlefield of Chicka-
manga, was changed from that fixed at
tbe last annual meeting at Colnmbos,
O., to Sept. 37 and 28 of this year.
This change was made so as to not in
terfere with the coming encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic in this
city. Many veteran* have expressed
the purpose of attending both reunions,
if this change in the date should be ef
fected. General H. V. Boynton of
■fetegteu. has been appointed cor-
Jteemng eeeretery of the society in

shape and width abont like a man’s two
hands when placed upon the table with
the palms down and thumbs ont of sight,
showing a little of each wrist. A mor
tice in the beam admits the standard
and another an iron rod for brace. The
beam is about 5J£ feet long, with a
wooden roller in front to gauge the
depth.
One strong horse will draw this tool
in the furrow made by an ordinary plow
and stir np the soil three or font inches
below the line of the surface plowing. 1
use it between the rows of strawberries,
after picking, with two horses, going as
deep as they can draw it, and afterward
cultivate with a light cultivator. 1
also use it with excellent success where
rows of potatoes, celery, raspberries or
young trees are to be planted, going
back and forth a few times in the same
furrow.
Artificial Incubation.
Prairie Farmer says: “We are satisfied
that as good fowls, either as breeders or
for the table, can be raised by means of
the incubator and the brooder, us can be
by the mother hen, and when broilers
are to be principally and largely raised
for the early market the incubator and
brooder must be used to insure success.
Artificial incubation is as old as Egyp
tian civilization. The modern incubator
has brought this old idea down to our
practical ways and has now come to he
nearly practically perfect. That is to
say, any intelligent man or woman by
making a practical study of the ^matter
as contained in the letter of instruction
sent with each, ought not to find diffi
culty in managing either the incubator
or brooder.
We see no reason, as a practical man
engaged for over thirty years in the prac
tice of agriculture in its several branches,
including all classes of live stock and
horticulture, why there should be diffi
culty in managing an incubator and
brooder. Bnt no person, man or worn
an, need expect either to manage itself.
Like any other thing in agriculture, the
profit comes from intelligent action
through a careful study of the imple
ment or machine, as the case may be. In
atfepr words, the farmer must use the
same Cleans that any business man does.
Then a goodvinachine or implement will
do good work, aild none the less so than
the incubator an<l bpqoder, especially
where broilers are to be g'Gf ready in the
season when prices are high^. Yet this
does not by any means leave'Yn&'gQod
old hen behind, when the days and nighi
are warm enough so Bhe can do justice
to her eggs and her young brood.”'

Spring and Winter Wheats.
The winter and spring wheats are now
interchangeable, the former being easily
converted into the latter and the latter
into the former. Another classification
may be made with reference to the char
acteristics to assist in their arrangement
as follows: White, red and velvet chaff:
smooth and bearded ears; white, red and
amber grain', hard and soft grain. This
classification is by no means' permanent
or satisfactory except in relation to the
smooth and bearded ears—they are al
ways the same everywhere and in all
seasons, bnt the other characteristics are
subject to the influences of soil, climate
and methods of cultivation in so marked
a degree that they are not alike in any
two sections or states or even seasons in BOOK STORE CORNER,
the same region. In arid regions the '
chaff, straw and grain are much lighter
in color, the grain much more flinty, the,
chaff more fragile, especially on the
bearded varieties.—Farmers’ Review.

Lambs for Market.
At the annual meeting of the New
Jersey state board of agriculture, J. S.
Woodward, of Lockport, N. Y., advised
baying early in the summer young, large
sheep from the stock yards and cross
ing them with a strong thoroughbred
ram of the mutton breed. Then give
good pasture through the summer and
fall. When cold weather comes shear
them and put in a frost proof barn, feed
ing liberally, bnt judiciously, of hay
and ensilage, ground oats, corn and peas
mixed. Lambs sold in the New York
market in December, January, Feb
ruary and March averaged him from
seven to twelve dollars.
What Others Say.
The American Cultivator says: “Wo
do not see how any gardener on sandy
soil can dispense with some use of
clover.”
The American Horseman says that the
big covered track at the Jewett farm,
where five-eighths of a mile of the track
Is now nnder cover, has proven during
the past winter a success.
The preventives for Hessian fly an
burning stubble, late sowing, rotation ol
crops. Pastaring early sown wheat in
the fall may destroy many of the maggots
and “flaxseeds.”
A cauliflower can be grown in the
same space and with the same amount
of manure required to grow a cabbage,
and even in much lighter soil. It takes
a little more care and skill to get perfect
heads, bnt they usually sell for twice as
much money as will the cabbage, says
The American Cultivator.
