A HORRIBLE INCIDENT The San Francisco
Chronicle gives the particulars of the recent
galows decapitation which occurred oear An
tioch, Cal. The victim was Marshal Martin,
aged ftty.t three years. who had his head torn
from his body ou the galows, to which he had
been condemned for numbering Valentine
Elschler, an old German, whose wife lostlgat
ed Martin to the murder, and who afterwards
proved raviug maniac and Is now shut up IN
lunatic asylum. Martio was a very weak
aud half imbeeile creature. The gallows scene
is described as follows
When the drop fell Martins body shot
sudden eIastic-hke spring, the black cap few
into the air at least eight feet and spatterlng
the blood 10 great spots over the rope, the
whitewashed wall, the trap, the chair in which
the doomed man, sat, and the sheriff's 5 boots,
it rolled away 10 one corner of the lncosure.
The body of the poor man fell to the ground
with great thud, and Two red, geyser-llke
lets spurted UP from the neck and fell down
ca the ground in torrents. A closer look, and
then the horror. striker faces showed that the
awful nature Of the occurrence had burst upon
them. The poor old mans head had actually
lecn ierked from his body, and was even then
lying IN the black cap where it had rolled in
the corner. The headless trunk lay weltcring
in the blood which poured from the neck. Not
a word was spoken. After the first thrill Of
horror strong men turned away sickened at the
horrible sight. The faces ON the platform were
bIapched and ghasty. The poor sheriff was as
white as chalk but he was cool and collected,
and did much to inspire those arouud him.
Dr. Holbrook, who was present, first emptied
tn, black cap of its sickcniug contents. He
lifted the cap at the top and the head rolled
away over the ground like a cannon ball. The
rope had severed the neck as oleanly as though
il had been done with knife. The vertebra
had actually been pulled away from what the
doctor called the atlas The laryDx, the arte-
reS. the teudons, were all torn apart. the latter
ouy showing Struggling ends Death, it is
hardly necessary to state, was instantaneous.
From the time the headless trunk struck the
ground there was not even quver of the h,-
tic finger The body lay like lump of lead
The horrible remains were at once placed 10 a
coffin aud hidden from sight.
No blame is attributable to Sheriff Ivory for
this terrible mshap. The rope was adjusted
for fall of six feet and it was said that this
was no more than is usually given.

The Illinois Experiment i'm Rail-
road Regulation

Illinois was tho first western state to at
tempt the regulation of railroad rates, and
her system, moderated by the important
amendments suggested by experience, has
settled down into what we judge to be a
permanent policy. The Illinois law, says
the Springfield Republican, prohibits
greater charge for certain distance than
for less distance, thus protecting stations
between competing functions from the
ruinous extortions by which the railroads
formerly sought to reimburse themselves
for the low rates to competing points. The
annual report just issued says that this pro-
vision is now generally complied with,
and furnishes substantial relief. The law
| further authorizes the railroad commission
to fix the standard of reasonable rates on
every road in the state, and thus estab-
fishes the presumption that any rate higher
than the official is unreasonable. An ag-
greved shipper is thus able to throw the
burden of proof on the railroad, which may
show, if it can. that the official tariff is not
reasonable. The law has been sustained
in all judicial decisions, and the official
tariff is practically conformed to by many
ofthe roads. The annual report has some
| ably general discussions. in one of which it
| is held that the true standard of reasonable
compensation" for transportation is an aver
age from the rates of the Oldest and best
managed roads, and not computation
based on the cost of each particular road,
since recent railroad construction has been
VIGOROUSLY dishonest and extravaganza, and
compensation ought not to be extorted to
pay dividends on fraudulent costs.

Of full feeding and full manuring. The
above Illustration IL as strong
as any we ever remember (;
when he could take the pile
of neglected manure upon farm, and
by It's effects upon the same farm, pro-
duce surplus sufficient to pay the
market value Of the land
But the greatest effect can only be
produced when manure aud thorough
culture go together. Mr.. johnson is
also most skillful manipulation of the
soil. If the soil is poorly worked, the
best manuring can not properly be
distributed, and therefore the crop
can not use it. Understanding heavy
soil Is part of thorough culture. With
out the water can pass off readily the
soil will remain cold and unsuitable
for the growth of plants. The best
possible manipulation OF the soil is
thrown away without it is sufficiently
dry to pulverize. 30 manure will have
little effect on an adhesive soil, which
is permanently saturated with water.
One great disadvantage that American
farmers labor under j. want of capital
to thoroughly till and manure their
excess of acres. They usually own
and try to work two acres where they
are only able to work and manure one.
The reforms needed are more manure
and better culture.-Rurdl Sun.
