NEW ORLEANS, February 25.-Ihe Mardi'
Gras procession moved according to the pro-
gralnme. Everything quiet and orderly
the streets along the line of the procession
are well-flled. The weather is clear and
warm.
The procession consisted of twenty large
and nine small cars, which contained figures
and groups, representing prominent epochs
in the history of the world, from 1000 before
the christian era to the present day, viewed
in comic light; in other words, comic his
tory of the world.

NASHVILLE, February 25.-Thomas Mer-
riman deliberately murdered his mother-in-
law, IN the outskirts of Nashville, at half
past one o'clock this afternoon. Having got

swollen out of all proportions and she could
no longer see, and leaving her weeping and
wailiog over the severe punishment he had
given her, he went to the house of his father
in-law, Morris Osborne, and inquired for his
daughter Carrie, who was visiting her grand
parents, saying that he wanted her to come
out and place herself before a double bsrreled
shotgun which he held In his hands. Fear
ing evil, the daughter refused to 90 cut.
Mrs. Caroline Osborne, Merriman's mother
iu-law, went to the door and commenced to
demonstrate with him, when he placed The
muzzle against her stomach and fired, the
heavy load of slugs making q ghastly hole
SIX inches in circumference IN her groin, and
she fell from the door dead. Speaking to her
husband, then IN the yard, he remarked:

The refinement OF scientific warfare Is Illus

army. As the process is described by the
Aoenir 11ilitnire, field firing cannot be carried
ON in the manner prescribed by the regula~
tfons without the employment OF six different
Instruments An thermometer Is used to
measure the force aad velocity Of the wind
in order that the necessary corrections be
made. The pressure Of the atmosphere is
aseertalned by a barometer, because, the
sights having been graduated for use with
the barometer at a certain height, the
pressure varies, q second series OF corrections
must be made. 4 hYgronneter ID required to
measure the amount of moisture in the at
mosphere; the degree of dampnsss of which
materially affects the resistance it offers to
the flight Of q proieetile, and consequently
third series OF corrections must be made.
When the fire Is directed upon objects hidden
from view plane table Jailed a pIancheese,
is employed. A teIemeter, or range-fnder, ID
