Murdered by q Private.

Lieutenant General Coode, of Ply.
mouth, England, formerly of the In
dian army, has received particulars of
the murder of his son, Lieutenant w.
II. Coode, adjutant of the wing of the
Lincolnshire regiment stationed at
Benares. The deceased was drilling
the men on parade when two rifle shots
were fired from the corner Of the bar
racks. The bullets passed close over
the heads Of the men, and almost i'm
mediately third shot was fired, severe
ly wounding private named Lilley, in
the knee. The men were much excit.
ed and wanted to scatter" but Lieu.
tenant Coode ordered them to remain
steady and rode in the direction of the
firing. AS he was advancing in can
ter fourth shot was fired by private
named Cocklin, who was standing out
side the barrack door. The bullet did
no damage and the man again discharg-
ed his rifle. This time the bullet enter
ed the breast of Lieutenant Goodies
horse, but notwithstanding this, the
officer still courageously advanced
toward Cocklin, shouting, "Nyhat are
you about, sir?" The man replied,
"Stand back, sir, or l will shoot you,
too." Lieutenant Coode, when about
twelve PAGES from the soldier. was dis
mounting, apparently with the inten-
tion of selling his assailant, when
Cocklin again fired, and this time
struck the officer in the groin. Medical
aid was quickly secured, but the main
artery of the lieutenants leg was found
to be nearly severed and he died in
about an hour. COcklin, when taken
to the cell, remarked that he wished he
had been able to "do" for
Sergeant Brent. Sergeant Brent had
been instrumental in obtaining a con-
viction against Cocklin's "chum" for
insubordination, and the deceased, as
adjutant of the regiment, had pros
ecuted him. This is the only reason
that can be assigned for the occur
renee. Lieutenant Coode was buried
with full military honors, and a reg
mental order was issued directing
the officers to go into mourning for
three months.

The Sky as a Weather Prophet.

The color of the sky is often an ex.
cellent indicator of the weather. A
bright yellow sky in the evening pre-
sages wind; pale yellow, dampness.
A neutral gray color in the morning is
q good sign, while ruddy sunrise for
bodies bad weather, and rosy sunset
good weather. The clouds also tell
their story. When their forms are un-
defined, soft and "full feathery," fine
weather may be expected, but the con-
trary when their edges are sharp, well
defined and hard. Quiet and delicate
colors are said to promise good day,
and deep, unusual hues, wind or rain.

THE nomination By the pemocrat

The nomination by the Democrats
of Judge Hosdley as their candidate
for Governor Of Ohio is pronounced a
most excellent selection by those who
are familiar with the political situation
in.the Buckeye State. The nomination
has been received with high favor in
all directions. The expression is gen.
eral that Judge Hoadley will poll the
full strength OF his party in
the State, and that he will also
draw largely from the Germans,
a powerful element of a rather uncer-
tain or Independent voting descrip-
tion. The Judge is very popular with
the naturalized Germans Of Ohio. and
it is confidently stated that he will
easily carry Cincinnati and Hamilton
county, in which he resides, by FIVE
thousand majority, But little doubt
is felt regarding the success of Judge
Hoadley in the ensuing contest by his
party friends everywhere.
