Silk Worms.


Mr.. c. F. Herbst has rented a
large room in which he has es-
tablished a worn nursery
Infantile silk worms are very
delicate and their appetite is, SO
to some extent, epicurean; they
require feeding on young and
tender leaves. Baby silk worms
can no more be raised out of
doors than human babies. In
the "wormery" are arranged
several racks or inclined planes
on which are placed frames
covered with muslin on which
a sheet of paper is laid, upon
This the eggs are placed and as
soon as the wormling comes
out of the shell it is fed on null
berry or bois d arc leaves. It
is necessary to feed them three
time a day with fresh leaves.
The worms are heavy feeders
and rapid growers; some hatch
ed or, as Mr.. Herbst has it, born
six days ago have already at
tanned the length of fully five
Fights Of an inch. They go
through various stages finally
becoming perfect flies in the
course Of six weeks. OF course
the cocoon is woven before the
metamorphosis takes place.
The flies after the eggs are laid
die. The wormery now has
population of some 1900 or
1900 worms from one to six
days of age. Mr.. H. has a large
quantity of eggs yet to be
Matched. They require consid-
cradle care and attention, as if
exposed to a rain or the wealth
er it would prove fatal.

AFTER THE BArTLE.-The
smoke after the election having
cleared away, everything is
again serene. The gentlemen
elected to the positions of may
or, assessor and marshal, have
each already served in the same
capacity, which shows that the
people are satisfied they will
make good officers. Although
negro candidates were run for
aldermen in each of the wards
the white candidates had an
easy victory. Colored officials
have been tried and are gener-
ally found wanting. AS yet
they do not possess the requi-
site administrative ability to
make them desirable; especial
ly is this the case in city affairs.
The gentlemen elected alder
men are all old citizens and
good men,

to get to Doran; don't know
whether he had his rocks then
or not. As Gibson rose to his
feet he made for Doran and |
caught him by one shoulder; he
jerked loose as | grabbed
him again; just as | grabbed
him the second time a pistol hr-
ed; Gibson whirled and ran;
when shot he was within three
feet of Doran going towards
him. Gibson had no weapon
l saw; he was crazy drunk.
Cross-examined.-Had hold
of Gibson but couldn't control
him; he is as strong as three
men like me. He was trying to
strike Doran when Doran struck
him. Gibson was within three
feet of Doran trying to get to
him wnen shot. Gibson had the
reputation Of being a bad, dam
gerous, desperate man. Have
heard Gibson say publicly, on
several occasions. that if Doran
ever hit him with his club, he
would kill him; have also heard
him say he would not be ar
csted by Doran. Gibson was
IN the habit of carrying pistols
and that was his reputation al
SO. A large crowd was present
at the time Of the shooting.
DR., J A Williamson testified
that Gibson's death was caused
by pistol shot, the ball passing
through left lung, stomach and
liver. He died at II:2o PM.
M NJ Baine testified to the
general row and bad language
Of Gibson; said Sharp had hold
of Gibson when Doran struck
him; was trying to get at Do
ran when he was shot.
Capt. Jack Lands, colored,
corroborated the evidence as to
bad language and drunkenness,
but says Gibson was under ar
rest and thar Doran shot him
as he was rising after being
knocked down; he also says
that Doran struck Gibson after
he was down and that while in
the act of striking him again
he, Lands, pulled him off.
w. E. Robinson, corrobcrates
Sharp's testimony in the main,
tut says that Gibson broke
loose from Sharp and threw a
stone at Doran, who then kock-
ed him down. Gibson rose and
after whirling around struck at
Doran with a rock in his hand
but missed him; Doran then
drew his pistol and fired.
F. Walter corroborated the
evidence of the previous wit
ness.
Thejury after ten minutes de-
liberation, returned the follow
ing verdict:
We, the jury summoned to
hold an inquest over the dead
body of Jim Gibson believe that
the said Jim Gibson came to his
death by a gun shot wound in
the left breast by the hand of
w. P. Doran while in the dis
charge of his duty.
