ground squirrel is known "a Spermophilus beechewi;
while the gopher is the Thomomys bulbiporus.
convention of agriculturists was held IN October
last TO discuss the best methods of destroying these
animals the squirrels especially, and was attended
by delegations from large portion of the State
On this occasion it was remarked that the plan Of
offering local bountes had proved entirely made
quate, the expense being enormous and very little
benefit resulting and it was considered necessary to
invoke the aid of the State in the adoption of some
more comprehensive method than had hitherto been
employed. The law already enacted by the State is
considered harsh and impracticabe, and further
legislation is desired.
According to statements presented at this meeting
the average loss from the ravages of the squirrels in
Contra Costa County alone amounted to one dollar
per acre, one farmer estimating his share at over
$1,000. In addition to the injury to the grain ITSELF
the thinning out of the grass by the destruction of
the seeds is also important element in the case.
The method usually adopted fer keeping the squr-
res in subsection is the application of poison of some
kind several gentlemen present at the conference
stating that phosphorus was the best for the pur-
pose 1t was thought that if concerted action
entered upon the evil could be greatly reduced
if not entirely removed, in the of few years.
The best time for such action was thought to be
October, after the rains when the animals were hun
grv and readily devOured any bait put in their way.
The applicability of the "Vermin Asphyxiator,"
article recently patented IN Great Britain, and
already introduced into this country, may here be
suggested. This consists essentially in burning sui
| phur and other nOXious substances III an air-tgf
| box. and passing it by means of fan through a
tube. into the abodcs of the vermin. 1t is stated
that nothing has proved satisfactory for the de-
struction of rats in buildings and Out-houses, es-
pecally as the sulphurous acid gas generally used
! has an important function as disinfectant and
deodorizer, and tends to prevent the annoyance
caused by the decay of the animal In the case of
ground squirrels and gOphers, it would seem only
necessary to stop up certain number of holes,
to retain the gas in the burrows among the animal
| for a sufficient length of time to cause death,
| aSphyxia occurring in very short time The same
method is also much used at present disnfectant
for vessels, rooms and buildings, and performs its
| work most efficiently and satisfactorily.

KANSAS.
Confession Of a Murderer.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 23.-The Demo
Gratis Kansas special says McNutt, who,
with Winner, murdered and burned a
painter named SAVERS at Wichita, KaI sas,
last December has confessed the crime.
lie said Winner persuaded him long ago in
Kansas City TO enter upon a course of
crime, and planned the whole thing.
McNutt was TO have his life insured for
S5,000,then kill and burn some victim and
palm off the body for his, so the money
could be collected. For the purpose
McNutt married women with whom he
was then living, and she was to collect the
insurance.
At first they intended committing the
crime in Kansas City, but concluded to go
to Wichita, thinking escape easier. Be
ing painters, they started business and
soon built up fine business. They were
delayed from carrying out the crime for
want of a victim, and at last came here and
engaged Sayier to work for them. They
met him at the depot on his arrival at
Wichita, took him to the shop, made him
drunk and then gave him ether till uncOn-
scious. They then put his face over the
fire. burned it till he couldnot berecogDized
and laid him on a bed saturated with
coal oil. McNutt then cut a cash in
Winners arm with the scissors, and open
ing a vein in Sewers arm took out quart
of blood and sprinkled it over Winner, to
make it appear that he had bled a good
deal. McNutt then left his vest and empty
pocket book back of the house where il
would appear the robbers had dropped it
and took the train, via AtchiSOn, for
Missouri. Winner then set fire to the
building, which was burned up, and re-
ported that he had been robbed and Nc
Mutt killed and burned. The crime, as
detailed, is most revolving and cruel, per-
fectly fiendish in its nature.

commissioner of the revenue. And in
accepting this fact the committee will
not fail to appreciate the zeal Of detec-
tives and informers, and hence, whilst
Representatives might point you to the
cruelties attending the suits brought
for the violation of the law, yet you can
read it in the increase of prosecutions
and costs as attested by the records of
your court.
If then, the committee cannot, in
view of the condition of the country,
adjust these taxes upon other sources
of revenue, it is respectfullyurg that,
the notifications pointed out by the
specific complaints of the people should
receive the favorable consideration Of
the committee.
These notifications are:
/. Decrease IN rate of taxation.
2. Reformation In mode of cOllec-
tions.
8. Such modification as to relieve the
small producers.
The wishes Of the masses Of labOrers
and producers areto belearned through
their representatives In Congress.
They have no paid attorneys or
agents" to plead here before you. And
for one, 1 accept your courtesy as a
recognition of this fact, and IN thank
ing you, appeal to the unity of the
members representing these peculiar
interests in their demand for relief, as
attesting the universally of the COM
plants of the people affected by this
particular legislation.

TOO THICK TO THRIVE.

CNAANSPoAbSiASS VI NAAD Ivy -NCNos
The conservative Democratic party
Is largely in the majority in the State,
and especially in Obion county. Sup
pose each county in the State has as
many candidates as Obion has for
Sheriff, and are permitted by the party
to remain on the track till the August
election, what viii be the result? We
will venture to answer the question by
saying that three, if not four-ffths Of
the sheriffs viii be Radicals, then fol-
lows county pasSieo, etc. We suppose
our county has no more Office seekers
than any other county in the State ac.
cording to population. Obion has at
least five candidates already in thefeld
for Sheriff, six for Tax Collector, five
or six for Circuit Court Clerk, etc, etc
Each one Of these aspirants thinks he
has as much right to be a candidate as
any other, and no one will deny this
fact. The only safe and sure way to
avoid the dangers is through the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee of the
county. which should call district con-
ventions, or primary elections, IN each
district, and let the people select and
say who shall be candidates among the
many aSpIrants.

% TOO THIN,

THE DyersbHrg Progress says: " We
are glad to notice that so many of our
State exchanges are in favor of a thor
Ough organization of the Democratic
party for the conflict in August next.
They see how fatal to the interests of
the-State it is to allow the Independent
element so much rein. 'Independency'
means disorganization. There is no
other meaning toit. And by disorgani-
Zation alone did we elect Republican
delegation in the last Congressional
election. BY disOrganization we-would
do the same thing over again. The
Radical party is in perfect state of
organization, while we have beendivided.
And we have been divided because the
enemies of the Democratic party have
used every argument IN their power to
prejudice the masses against organiza-
tiOn. But their little game is becoming
too plain to be longer the means of de-
ceiving intelligent men. ."-BrolUnSrilIe

Bard, 20 be Postmaster at Atlanta, Ca.

ton of his eminent services In divers

pears, however, that there are a great
many people IN that State who decided
ly object to him on any terms. The
result is quite bitter fight over the
confirmation. Representatives White

THE MARYLAND TWINS.

The Baltimore Sun gives the following
in reference to female twins, born at 10
baccostick. Dorchester county, Nd, on the
4th inst, and who were joined at the breast
in manner regarded as more wonderful
than the Siamese twins: "The DOrches-
ter twins were of eolOred pareutage, the
mother being Mary TraveTs, who is now
in excellent health. One of the twins was
alive at birth, but died in a few seconds
thereafter. The other, when born, was
dead. The one first ushered into this
world bore the impress upon
its face Of a genuine negro, while
the complexion of the other was like that
of a white person, and the hair less kinky
upon It's head than that adOrning its sister.
DR.. La Count Smith, Of TObaecOstick, be-
came possessed Of the bodies of the twins
shortly after their birth, and with them
arrived in this city yesterday afternoon, for
the purpose of having the bodies properly
preserved, which will be done by placing
Them in an aquarium-shaped vessel filed
with alcohol. Last night the Dorchester
monstrosities were exhibited at the Office Of
Dr.J.H. Tall. in presence of several medical
gentlemen. The bond Of union connecting
the bodies of the twins extend from the
centre OF the breast OOile 70 tile naNdl, ehuS
placing the bodies face TO face. The bodies
are well formed, and weigh ten pounds
and half, and measure eighteen inches in
length. The physicians who were present
gave as their opinions that each of the
twins possessed separate stOmachs. hearts,
livers, etc, and that wall separated the
stomachs along that portion where the
bond of union exists. The only case on
record where a similar bond Of union ever
existed is in the London Museum, and
like the Dorchester novelty the twins were
females.

= Shot Dead Defending His DOmieiI.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Michael McNa-
mara, linen weaver, was fatally shot early
yesterday morning while resisting the
forcible entry into his premises of some
officers not in uniform. The police were
looking for a notorious thief and thinking
he was in $50 West Twenty-ninth street,
went through the tenements, Smashing in
the doors in their eagerness to effect the
capture. Mcnamara being awakened by
the kicking at the door of his apartments,
rushed to it to keep the intruders out, and
while thus engaged was shot.
LATER.-Detective Lehy, who last night
shot Michael Mcnamara, to-day gave s, 800
bail to appear for examination.
The wIfe's Statement.
Mrs. Mcnamara makes the following
statement: The first we heard was bang
ing and kicking at the door, which woke
Us all up. My husband jumped out of
bed, and, thinking they were burglars,
seized the fire shovel and ran toward the
door. The panel was just then kicked,
and a man thrust in his hand and was try
ing to open the lock, when my husband hit
him on the hand with the shovel. Imme-
diately pistol was fred and the door burst
open. Eight men rushed in and said they
were officers. This was the first time they
said anything of their being policemen.
Then they found my husband was shot and
took him away quickly, and told me not 10
say anything about it. Some one proposed
to bring my husband to the 20th precinct
and Get doctor, but one of the men said,
with an oath: ''Oh no, not there" Sew
eral persons, who were attracted by the
disturbance, say the
Detectives Were Drunk,
and that even with the wounded man in
the carriage, on the way to Bellevue Hos
pital, they halted and had several drinks
in the saloons.
The Trades Unions are now obtaining
the afidayits of victims of police brutality
in Tomkius Square on the occasion of the
meeting there in January with the view Of
securing an investigation by the Legislature.

Jem Mace writes from England to say
he will accept the challenge of Tom Allen
to fight for from 81, ,000to 5000 if Allen
will put up a forfeit to prove he means
