raid on the bank of Joplin or Short Creek
On that account these institutIans were
carefully guarded by a humber of armed
men whose services were suddenly called
into requisition in anticipation of such a
visit. At four O'Clock on the morning of
November the 2nd George Shepherd rode
excitedly into Short Creek, suffering from a
pistol shot wound in the thigh, and with
sundry perforations in his saddle which
were caused by bullets. He reported that
he had had a desperate encounter with the
James brothers. Shepherds story excited
more alarm than sympathy. He was sup
posed to have belonged to the James and
Younger gang who had previously, in con-
%nection with the Quantrell band. partici-
pated in the robbing Of a Kentucky bank.
the James brothers mistrusted him, al
though he was admitted to their company
and was aware of their hiding place. He
was regarded as spy in the camp. He and
Jesse had disagreed, and on that account
his life was attempted. He had met the
party at Short Creek, where they were
lurking, meditating another raid. at the
time that Shepherd came to grief.
SHEPHERDS STORY.
He told the following story Of his adven-
ture:-"Mike and Tom Casey, another man
amp myself. set out yesterday to capture the
gang. They were to secrete themselves,
while | was to proceed to the rendezvous,
shoot Jesse James and retreat. The rest of
the gang. it was expected, would pursue
me, and in that way be drawn into the am
buscade where my companions were in
waiting. 1 met Jesse, and while riding
along said, Jesse. you know you robbed
my cousin and murdered him. Jesse
moved his hand toward his pistol and
wheeled about his horse. | then fired, hit
ting him back of the ear, and he fell head
long to the ground. | then put spurs to
my horse and fed. Jim Cummings, a
member Of the gang, pursued me. During
our flight several shots were exchanged.
Cummings had the feetest horse and he
soon caught up with me, shooting me
through the thigh. The fire from the PTS
tol, 50 near were we together, burned my
clothes. | returned the fire, and one Of
shots struck Cummings in the arm and
knocked the pistol from his hand. With
he wheeled his horse and went back"
Upon receipt of the above information
there was much rejoicing, as it was sup
posed that Jesse James was mortally
wounded. A heavily armed posse went out
the following morning to scour the Short
Greek district, but without meeting with
Jesse James, the wounded bri-
.and, recovered from his injuries and sub
sequently made his headquarters in Texas,
where he and his brothers, with a small
following, still remain, meditating fresh

Among others who use it with success, We refer to the

After many trials and a thorough Investigation. A COM

vile, unanimously passed the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That the able report of the Committee
On Fertilizers be received, and that it be published in

that we recommend the adoption and general use by the
order of the HOME FERTILIzER,' and that the Grange

Railroad and Telegraph troubles,

New York, Dec. 1.-THE telegraph
rates are being cut and other reductions
are proposed shortly, but there will
probably be no general reduction i'm
mediately.
There are rumors of fresh troubles
between the New York Central, Eric
and the Pennsylvania Central roads,
because of the action of the latter COM
pany, which yesterday made cut of
20 per cent. in emigrant tickets from
this city to the west. That is the COM
pany now give the emigrants the 20 per
cent. formerly allowed to agents. A
committee of bankers and merchants
left this city last night for Washington,
for the purpose Of inducing the secre-
tary Of the treasury to Immediately an
ticipate January interests and redcmp-
tions, which aggregate about s2o, ,0Oo,-
600 altogether, for the purpose of re-
lieving the great stringency of money.
The bears in the stock exchange CLAIM
to have full control of the loan market,
and threaten to keep funds stringent
the week out.

Halifax, Dec. 14.-There was an
other explosion at the cago rit Of the
Stellarton mine this morning nj about 5
O'Clock, followed in few minutes by a
second blast. A strong force of men
was on hand TO explore the damage at
the earliest possible moment. About
. O'Clock third. explosion occurred.
1t Is not believed that any lives were
lost, as no miners were known 10 be in
the pit, work not having been begun
since the last explosion in the Ford pit.
No one has yet been into the mine to
ascertain the extent OF the damage, as
the after-damp has been too strong to
allow exploration.
Stellarton, 10 o'clock.-The cage pit
is on fire now, and dense volumes Of
smoke are arising.
To-day's explosions destroyed all
hopes that the mines might be opened
and work resumed. The miners are
gloomy and disconsolate.

The Imporsasloa OF American Cattle.

New York, Dec. l5.-The Times
London special says: Hon. Brand,
speaker Of the house of commons has
just delivered a speech at Lewis, in
which he discussed a question that
must interest every American. Speak
ing Of the importation Of American cat
tie, he said that the prediction that the
English farmer would be crushed out
by American importation would never
be fulfilled. As between the English
farmer and the American farmer 1t was
not matter OF competition at all; he
thought it was rather a matter OF co.
operation, as the American farmer was
just as heavily taxed as an Englishman.
The cost Of labor was greater to him
and he had a vast distance TO travel
over in order to find market for his
products.
Holmes, member from Hackney, who
spoke at the same meeting, took diff
ferent view Of the matter, and said lie
thought the American emulation in the
English market would lead inevitably
and directly to English land reform.

Washington, Dec. 14.-There is no
doubt whatever that President Hayes
and Secretary Evarts are greatly dis
pleased that Secretary Thompson should
have joined hands with De Lesseps in
the Panama canal enterprise in the way
he has done. They realize that he
would never have been offered red
cent il he had not been member Of
the cabinet. 1t is fact that Hayes
telegraphed 10 Secretary Thompson to
return from New York Immediately,
which he did.
His resignation will make no real
difference Mt tho navy department. n
prominent official stated to your corre-
spondent that during the past three
months the secretary has seemed to be-
gin TO break down, physically and men,
tally; that he has done many things re-
Gently which have had bad effect up
on the navy, and that it is really better
for the department to have him go at
once. 1t is also reported that he has
been much troubled of late by fainting
spells and other symptoms of physical
decay. The secretary is an invcterate
smoker and has also beena hard worker,
and the wonder is that he has held out
so long, rs lie is considerably past az.
There is n strong sentiment develop-
| ing here against the Panama canal en-
terprise on account OF the irregularities
which characterize tho organization oil
tho company. Tho naval officer above
referred to asserts that Dc Lesseps Is
only working TO get back the large sum
OF money already invested in tho Wyse
3onapart project, and that there Is nc
real expectation OF building the canal.

tachment issued last week for a failure
10 render accounts as guardian in the
Irwin estate. This delinquency con-
stitutes a flagrant case Of contempt Of
court. Judge Wallace, attorney for
the heirs, says that Mr.. Reed is proba-
