ATTACHED BY TRAMrs.--For some time
past tramps have been camping in the woods
near the Alexsauken bridge, above this city.
Last Friday night as Mr.. j. V. G. Barber
and wife (who reside near the Alexsauken
bridge,) were on their way home from this
city in carriage four of these tramps-
two on each side of his horse-grabbed his
horses head and endeavored to stop him.
Mr.. Barber used his whip vigorously on the
men and the horse broke away from them.
After going short distance, Mr.. Barber
Stacked up the horses speed and asked the
men what they wanted, when they pulled off
their coats and ran after him. He whipped
up his horse and got out of their reach.
Their intention, no doubt, was to rob him.
On Saturday, Mr.. B. made complaint to our
authorities, but we have heard of no arrests.

SORGHUM SUGAR CANE

We have referred heretofore to the
claims put forth by DIR. Collier, the
chemist Of the Agricultural Bureau at
Washington, that he had succeeded in
producing true crystals of sugar in pay
ing quantities from the. sorghum sugar
cane. The experiments made during the
last twenty-five years by farmers and
others have neverg got beyond the point
of producing quality of syrup equal in
many cases to the best made from the
ribbon cane of Louisiana and the West
Indies, and occasionally a small
quantity of grape sugar or glucose,
some popularity of the saccharine juices
seeming to destroy the capacity to form
the true sugar crystals, if originally pres
ent in the cane, or, as was often contend,
ed, they do not exist to begin with. A
late Baltimore Sun publishes an article
on the subject which seems TO imply
that DR.. Golfers claim to having discov-
cred the secret Of securing true crystal
ization of the inspissated juices of the
sorghum family of sugar cane rests on
the sole foundation of curing or ripening
the canes more completely than has
been the custom among those who have
experimental before him to that end
If this is the sole basis for his claims we
fear the Doctor and the public are likely
to feel disappointment at the promises Of
great discovery that have been scattered
over the country. The juices of sorghum
sugar-cane since about 1857 have been
tried in every State of the country
in every stage of development from
the springing of the plume-like head
to the full maturity Of the seed, and
true prismatic crystals Of sugar have
refused to form SO far as pub
licly known. The statement was put
forth some months ago that DR.. Collier
had solved the riddle, and in due time
would give the country the benefit of it
If he has, indeed, made great discov
cry, the people are entitled 10 be advised
of it; and, if not, we must be contentec
with the cultivation of sorghum for syr
ups as heretofore, and must extend the
cultivation of the sugar beet that ha'
been shown capable of yielding profit
able amount of sugar. even so far NORTH
as Maine, in the experiments that have
proven 50 successful at the Portland es
tablishment.

UTILIZING CONVICT LABOR.


economy is how to utilize to the full ex-
tent the labor of convicts in penitentiaries,
so that it shall inure to the benefit of
the State without interfering With the
rights of the working classes outside.
The contractor who hires the right to
employ 500 or 1000 convicts, more or
less, and sets them at work making shoes,
weaving burlaps, making agricultural
implements, ETC., comes directly in COM
petition with the manufacturer of these
articles who employs ordinary voluntary
labor The complaints against this COM
petition has been both loud and deep,
and is likely to continue, and should
continue as long as it exists.
We have long thought that some sys-
tenn could and ought to be devised
whereby the labor of criminals sentenced
to penal servitude could be made to do
the State real service without interfering
with the ordinary industries of the coun-
try. For instance, there might be con-
Quoted certain public works essential to
the State that ordinarily would scarcely
be undertaken, and these could be per.
formed by the prisoners themselves
with no cost further than
that for their maintenance
1t seems that the Kentucky Legislature
has before it now bill introduced by
Judge Hord, providing for the employ
ment Of at least 500 menin the improve
ment of the Kentucky River, and the
Courier-Journal remarking upon this
subject, says that in 1857 and 1895
Kentucky spent over s., 900, 900 for slack
water navigation throughout the State
but the locking and damming of the
Kentucky River was only partly accom-
plished and the old works are now going
to ruin. 1t thinks that in less than 8
year, with the work of the convicts un
der proper supervision, the river can be
made to serve all the interests of trade
as far as the Forks, and the latter car
afterwards be similarly improved
80 that vast and wealthy portion of the
State can be made accessible to capital
and population. 1t thinks this would be
a benefit TO all concerned; the prison
would be relieved of the present over

the convicts would be healthier for the
change, and the State would secure g
valuable public improvement without
an invasion of the domain of ordinary
industries of the country or much ex
pense. Whether this measure would
even if adopted, justify the abandon

Penitentiary is question that it is moi
necessary to here discuss, but we shal

A SERIOUS railroad accident occurred
near Bellaire, O., late yesterday after
noon. As there is no telegraph line to
the point where the accident occurred
full particulars are delayed. 1t appears,
however, that some fifteen or twenty
persons were hurt, more or less seriously.
1t is announced that Ex-Congressman
Danford Is among those fatally injured,
but his friends hope he may not be hurt
