Finding His Father and Mother Dead
Il POOL Of Blood.

Finding His Father and Mother Dead in
fOOl OF BLOOD.
A. German carpenter named Peter Wein-
kauf, living on Frankstown avenue, East
End, Pittsburgh, killed his wife by first
striking her down with base ball bat and
then cutting her throat with an 1S inch
butcher knife. After accomplishing his
aim he cut his own throat, nearly severing
his head from the trunk, with the same
weapon used to dispatch his wife. No one
was present when the double murder was
committed, but shortly afterwards Is
year old son of Weinkauf entered the
house and found the couple lying dead
on the floor in great pool of blood. He
hurried down stairs, locking the door, and
at once notified the police authorities.
Weinkauf was 4 man of considerable
property and the woman was his second
wife. BY former wife he had five chill
dren, the Oldest being twenty three years
of age. The cause Of the murder is at
tributed to the fact that his second wife
some time ago induced him to sign deed
conveying to her all Of his property, part
of which had been left him by his first
wife in trust for the children. The couple
had lived unhappily for some time, and
yesterday. it is said, Mrs. Weinkauf had
stated that she intended getting divorce.

Nearly eight thousand people greeted

building Boston. Mr.. Davitt was accom-
panied to the stage by John Boyle o.
Reilly, editor of the Pilot: Frederick o.
Prince and other prominent men. In
speaking to the audience Mr.. Davitt said
that his address was intended more for an
American than for an Irish audience and
that it was more OF an appeal to the un-
derstanding of the American people. The
speaker then gave statistics prepared by
friends of the Irish cause, and argued that
landlordism as it exists to day is an un-
mitigated failure, and has resulted in a
peasantry compelled to live in one-roomed
huts.

MANUREs FOR TOBACCO.
Artificial Fertilizers vs.. Stable Nanur

Atuuc1M oKSAuz0fS vSs stable Manure.
The Harrisburg Independent makes the
following deliverance on a very important
matter to farmers. 1t does not contain
much that is not Unknown to practical
tobacco growers, nor does it very clearly
point out to nOyices the best method OF
manuring but We print it rs contribu-
tion to subject that is bnt very imper-
fectly understood, and upon which there
is wide difference of opinion even among
the most successful tobacco growers
1t is claimed that tho tobacco growers
of Lancaster county and other portions OF
this state are dissatisfied with the result
from the use of artificial fertilizers on to
baccO. Whether the farmers or tobacco
growers in general make this statement,
or whether it comes only from a few, is
not clear, but several agricultural jour
nails are advocating the use OF barnyard
manure only for tobacco. a look over
the fields will convince tobacco growers Of
the fact that they have been placing their
confidence almost entirely in super
phosphate. This substance, while
beneficial to certain extent, is
only a partial fertilizer Tobacco re.
quires large amount of potash, and in
the tobacco regions of Virginia and North
Carolina the growers have made the best
crops by burning brush over the fields in
order to get the ashes. Very seldom do
they use any manure, and this course has
done much to depreciate the quality of the
soil. Magnesia is another substance de-
manded by tobacco, usually left out in ap-
plying fertilizers. The crude sulphate of
magnesia (impure EPSON salts) is !, cheap
article, the market price seldom going be-
yOnd half cent pound. 1t furnishes 4
soluble ingredient for tobacco plant food.
To rely wholly on barnyard manure is un
safe, as that article is as variable in quail
ity as artificial fertilizers, its worth de-
pending entirely upon how the manure is
made and protected, the kind Of food,
condition OF the animals, their age,
etc. Bulk does not always mean
value, nor does = liberal application of
manure made from straw and other
inferior material prove as satisfactory as
that from animals in good condition ard
fed on grain, good hay and oilcakc. Tho
manure heap, if it is Of good quality, con-
tains usually all the elements for plant
food, and when fertilizers are used they
should be prepared in strict compliance
with all that is demanded by the formula.
1t should be borne in mind by novice tobac-
co growing that so far as the quality of
tobacco is concerned, new lard produces
a different effect from old wet seasons
from dry; good cultivation from bad !;
heavy land from light new manures from
well rotted, and, finally, that il the slight
est mistake is made in curing the crop
damage is done. Thus it can be seen that
there is much to be taken into considera-
tion before tobacco growers can make q
just comparison between artificial and
barnyard manure for use On that crop.

will be resumed again, but that will not
be at q very early date.

A Model Judge.

Judge Turnkey declines to he named
before the Democratic convention for
the Office of governor, without assigning
any reason save his disinclination. But
it may readily be imagined why this
disinclination exists. The judge may
think, as we do, that it is not good
thing for a judge to be named for po
litical place. 1t seems to us that the ju-
dietary should so far be separated from
politics that a Judge should not he deem
ed eligible for a political nomination.
The executive and judicial functions are
entirely distinct, and a man whose tastes
and ambition lead him towards the
bench should cling to the field he has
selected and let all his honorable aspira-
tions find in it their outlet. If this is
the motive of Judge Trunkey's action he
deserves high honor for it and he has set
an example worthy of all emulation.
Then it may we'll be that he considers
his present place of higher Importance
and honor than that of governor or its
duties may readily he imagined to he
more agreeable to him. There is surely
no need for surprise in finding that a
student of the law would rather he
Judge than governor. Any sensible man,
with such tastes, would. A politician
might prefer to be governor, as putting
him more directly in the line of political
advancement: which is his aim. But we
do not want politicians on the bench and
men with such aspirations ought not to
20 on it. We are glad to know that
Judge Turnkey is not a judge of this
kind.
