Shortly before ho died, Tom raid:

On the Sriiffolfl.
When all preparations had been
made the little party on the scaffold
knelt, as well as those on the outside,
while prayer was offered for the con -

for the bereaved family.
When tho prayer was concluded
Torn began to pray in a low voice at
first, but gradually speaking louder

Everybody arose, nml Tom stepped
firmly into the exact center of the
square trap-door beneath his feet.
Several of the deputy sheriffs produced
j ropes and began to bind bis bands,
arms, legs and ankles. They spout
fully five minutes in tying him up

THE PETITION WITHDRAWN.
Macon's Case Apalnst the Railroads Will
Now Go To the Courts.
The Macon petition against railroad
consolidation in Georgia has been
withdrawn by the attorneys who filed
it with Governor Atkinson.
ing into it thoroughly, and he had an-
Bounced that he would give a decision
at an early day. In making his investi-
gation Governor Atkinson proceeded
just as he would bad he been consider-
ing a petition of any other character.
He looked at both sides. He heard
from the attorneys who represented
the Macon petitioners and also heard
what the railroads had to say on their
side of the case. There was no formal
or argument, however, but in¬
formal talks.
It is thought around the capitol
tlmt the governor was not disposed to
direct the attorney general to institute
such a sweeping suit against tho roads
as was contemplated by the petition-
ers, but was more inclined to let the
investigation proceed, if at all, against
only one road. This would have in-
volved less indirect material results,
but the principle would have been the
same in the end. That is, if it were
shown that the Southern held one
railroad in violation of the constitu
lion, it would probably have followed
that it held others, but if it did not
control tho Central or the Georgia
Houthern and Florida or some other
oue road illegally, it probably held
IJ 017 P in the state unconstitutionally.
This, it is understood, did not meet
the wish of the attorneys for the peti-
tioners, and they withdrew their peti-
tion,announcing that they had decided
to institute proceedings in the courts.
This is the right, which nuy party at
interest has. There are two methods
of procedure against railroad monopo-
lies in Georgia. One method is for
the govornor to direct the attorney
general to bring suit, against tho of
fending company, while the other is
is for any party at interest to proceed.
This latter recourse was provided
for by an act which Senator A. O.
Bacon had passed when ha was in the
house five years ago. The senator is
one of the counsel for the petitioners
from Macon, and his law firm, Bacon,
Miller k Brunson, and the other firm,
Dessau, Bartlett A Tillis, decided to
let their clients proceed under the
Bacon act.

JAPAN ENTERS PROTEST.
She Object* To Annexation of Hawaii To
United States.
Before the final fignature of the
Hawaiian annexation treaty at Wash-
ington Wednesday the secretary of
state was presented a formal protest
consummation of the agreement. The
protest is understood to be based on
apprehension that the special treaties

advantages, u ill be affected
injuriously by the complete annexa-
tlon -

in any way, but it is learned that the
Japanese protest was made in person

Ho « bi -
The news of the protest was a great
surprise to the Hawaiian legation and
aH soon aR intelligence of it was ob-
| a, ned, Minister Hatch started out to
earri ,lie particulars. The essential

the Hawaiian r legation is, whether the

heved that it is the latter.

WOODFORD «0KS TO MADRID.
Nsw York itfan Nominate,1 To Be Min¬
ister To Spain.
The president Wednesday nominated
Steward L. Woodford, of New York,
to he minister to Spain. Mr. Wood-
ford is an old friend of Senator Platt
and the two linvo been on intimate
terms since they were colleagues in
COll gress a score of years ago.
There is excellent authority for the
statement that Mr. Woodford will ac-
cept.
Stewart L. Woodford, tho newly ap-
pointed minister to Spain, was born in
New York September 3, 1835, and is
descended from early settlers of Con-
necticut. His grandfather fought in
the revolutionary and in the war of
1812. General Woodford entered Co-
lumbia college at fifteen, but spent the
sophomore years at Yule, completing
his education at Columbia and gradu-
ating in 185L He was admitted to
the bar in 1857 and entered politics in
the first Lincoln campaign, 1860.
The president sent the following
nominations to the senate in addition
to that of Mr. Woodford :
Julius Goldschmidt, of Wisconson,
te be consul general at Berlin, Ger¬
many.
Treasury—Frank H. Morris, of
Ohio, to bo auditor of tho navy de-
partment.

they have a compact Polish tuft; the
comb is only two little points, and the
wattles ave very small. They have five
toes on each foot. The fowls are non-
sitters, small eaters and layers of large,
white eggs. They are said to be hardy
when mature, but are difficult to raise,
; They are very small and are kept
chiefly as pets, being generally re-
i garded as the most beautiful of all do-
: mestic fowls. They are, however,
good layers. ’
Sulphur Smoke for Umb.,
Where lambs show signs of disease
at weaning time it is the practice of
many to give them strong doses of sul-
phur smoke. To do this it is necessary
to confine the lambs in a tight place
where they can be made to inhale the
fumes. “We lastyear,” says John G.
Ickis, in Country Gentleman, “used a
garner which had a door at the open-
ing, and as it held twenty-five lambs it
did not take long to fumigate the en-
tire flock. ”
After the lambs were driven into the
garner one man carried in a bucket
with a few small coals, on which a
small handful of sulphur Lad
thrown. The door was closed, and as
the air became blue the lambs would
begin to cough, showing that they were
filling their lungs with the smoke. The
operator should stay in the room, so
that he may know when the lambs have
enough. For a few minutes you may
experience no inconvenience, but soon
the tears will begin to start and a lump
come in your throat that impedes
breathing—then you may know the
lambs have about all they can stand.
However, the smoke will generally be
strongest at five or six feet from the
floor than at the level of the lamb’s nos-
trils, and the lambs may be left in one
or two minutes after tho man has been
obliged to come out.
It appears to me this is the common-
sense way of getting at the worms on
file lungs rather than to put drugs in
th e stomach to vaporize through the
lungs and trachea.
Remedies for Cutworms.
H. E. Weed, of the Mississippi Ex¬
periment Station, writes: Every year
cutworms do more or less damage to
nearly all crops, especially to tomatoes,
cabbages and corn. Whenever sod or
grassy laud is left until spring before
being plowed, any crop which may be
planted on such land will be consider¬
ably damaged by cutworms. The
reason is that, the worms are nearly
full grown in the spring, yet they need
one good meal before turinng into
pup®, a short time after which they
come forth as night-flying moths.
The life history of the cutworms id
about as follows; The moths lay their
eggs in grass throughout the summer
months and after after a few dayd
these eggs hatch into small worms
which feed upon the grass. The
worms cast off their skin from time to
time to accommodate their increase in
size, and during the cooler weather of
winter go deeper in the ground, being
dormant for a time if the weather is
very cold. Upon the approach of
spring the worms come forth for a fin¬
ishing touch of growth nnd soon form
pup® in the ground just belokv the Bur-
face. Some time after this the moths
are produced, and, after mating, the
females lay the eggs for another brood.
With most species there is but this
one brood a year.
Most farmers are beginning to real¬
ize the many advantages of fall ploxv-
iug, nnd where sod land especially is
plowed in the fall it will greatly lessen
the number of cutworms and other in¬
sects on such land the following
spring. A good remedy for killing out
the cutworms in the garden is to make
up a mixture consisting of a quantity
of bran or corn meal,' to which is
added a little paris green and a little
molasses or sugar to give a sweetish
taste. It is the paris green that kills
the worms, and this should be
very thoroughly mixed with the bran
so as to have a uniform mixture. A
spoonful of this mixture should be
placed near the plants just before night
on the day the plants are set out. The
cut worms work at night aud will be
killed bv eating of the poisoned mix¬
ture. It is much better, however, .to
place the mixture about in various
narsi a field a few days before plant¬
ing, as it will then kill off the worms
before any damage is done.
Restoration of -the Sahara.
French scientists and explorers have
been discussing the question of the
restoration of the Sahara, and some of
them entertain very hopeful views,
VI. Sargeau thinks that the whole
mospheric conditions of the desert can
be changed and universal cultivation
made possible. Others, not so san-
guine, despair of the more arid pla¬
teaus, but state confidently that in tho
depressed portions trees, such as the
tamarisk, acacia, eucalyptus and pop¬
lar can be grown with success. The
poplar proves to bo the treo ot *11
others most capable of resisting the
influence of the desert. Under the
shelter of tile trees all kinds of vcc-
l'll and 1 °
-t.Unes il flints call be 1 grown.
Maine is about as large as Ireland
and nearly three times as large as Bel-
gin Si, yet, instead of having from
5,000,000 to 7,000,000 inhabitants, it
had, in 1890, only 661,000, marvels the

Elephant Cutlets for Dinner.
The greatest luxury at dinner in
Central Africa is elephant steaks,
Any big native feast without elephant’s
flesh is as rare as an English society
dinner without venison,
| In dressing the carcass of an ele-

stroyed.

Among Women,
The great neat plague of August, 1896, was not without its 'flat'-
lesson. One could not fail to notice in the long lists of
the dead ,hro "P hout this country, that so many of
the victims were women in their thirties, and 'A. (r.
women between forty-five and fifty. ■ C.' *

The clubwomen of the country will
assemble en masse at the Nashville
exposition October 20, 21 and 22. The
usual topics will be discussed—state,
federation, journalism, club methods
and government, etc.
Pennsylvania’s first three governors
served nine years each. No subse¬
quent governor has equaled them in
this respect. Robert E. Pattison came
nearest to it, he serving eight years,
but his terms were not consecutive, as
were theirs.
Prof. Gabriel de Mortillet, of Paris,
maintains that a careful study of the
geological data bearing on the ques¬
tion of the antiquity of man does not
allow us to assign of a more recent
date than 230,000 years ago.
Poe furnished his famous cottage at
Fordham by a curious method. He
took up book reviewing and attacked
the authors with a curious satire.
One Thomas Dunn English retaliated.
Poe began suit for libel against En¬
glish’s publishers and won a few hun¬
dred dollars. This money was spent
in the furnishing of the little house
and probably was the largest sum ever
possessed in the whole career of the
eccentric poet.
