The chief seat OF ito growth is Assam,
though 1t is also cultivated in Bengal proper.

Washington Special to lsichmond Dispatch.
Judge Camden, Of West Virginia, called
at the Senate to-day on his nephew, Sen.
ator Camden. He is on his way to Florida.
He says there is good prospect OF com.
pleting the road from Wheelingto connect
with the Chesapeake & Ohio road. The
Judge says, further, that he has been adyo-
eating a proposition for the State to vote
twelve millions Of dollars to develop the en-.
tire railroad system Of West Virginia, be.
lieving that this in the end would DO
cheaper to the people than piecemeal
plan Of development. He is Of the opinion
that there has been no over estimate OF the
mineral wealth Of his State, and says il
only needs capital to make West Virginia
one OF the richest States in the Union for
It's area and population.

Tnttooing Cattle.

American Asriculturest for March.
To tell the age OF Polled cattle, and keep
reliable record Of their pedigrees, it Is
necessary to make some distinctive mark
upon them. Tattooing the inside Of the
ears Is found to be the best METHOD This
has been practiced extensively on sheep
in Great Britain for many years past, and
now the application is made to Polled cat
tie. An instrument for this Is made in
Germany, which does the tattooing cheaply
and rapidly.
From few experiments recently made
with Polled cattle at the West, 1t is found
that superior quality Of beef can be more
cheaply produced than from horned stock.
They will consequently spread rapidly
there. We suggest TO breeders that they
import these instruments and hand them
over to our mechanics, who will be sure to
improve them.

of Samuel d. Forbes, for maintaining nui-
sance in Browntown, was called. He hav-
ing failed to keep his promise to remedy the
matter motion that he be prosecuted was
adopted. The secretary reported four cases
of smallpox during the last two weeks, two
of which we're reported last week. The
usual number of nusances were reported
and large number reported abated. Mr..
Gawthrop stated that he believed a great
part OF the malaria and similar diseases
were caused by the cesspools which drained
through the ground to the foundations and
walls of residences. The secretary stated
that judgment had been obtained against
John Maloney for $40, bill due the old
Board of 1882. He also reported that $31 "a
had been collected from the property owners
along the alley running in from Fifth street
between Orange and Tatnall. This alley
was paved and unless the remaining pro-
perty owners pay the Board will lose $28. .36.

AT DELAWARE COLLEGE
THE ATHENEAN soCIETY's
ANNIVERSARY.
AN UNUSUALLY GOOD PROGRAM
Large Attendance--Fln Decorations
Good Addresses, kEsssys and Dsclama.
tions--A Successful Anniversary.


tspeciaI correspondence OF the Gazette,
NEWARK, June 2O.-The Athen@an Lit.
erary Society celebrated its forty ninth an.
niversary in the college oratory last even.
ing. Owing to the favorable weather the
oratory was crowded almost to suffocation,
and large number were turLed away,
owing to the fact that they could not get
within the doorss The stage was
handsomely decorated with flowers and
evergreens. Extending for distance of al
most three feet from the top of the stage
was lattice work, and on an arch worked
with beautiful flowers, was the name of the
society. On large box on the stage was
large floral anchor, and on a stand near 1t
was the letter ga" formed of the rarest
flowers. The members Of the Athen@en
Society, with a number of invited guests,
occupied the right side of the
tage, while the members of the
Delta Phi Society we're seated on the left
side. In the tentre of the stage were seated
Rev. I. H. Haines, Rev. j. L. Vallandig-
ham, Prof. A. A. Benton, Rev. j. L. Polk,
Chairman Polk and many others.
At 8 O'Clock the exercises were begun by
prayer by the Rev. j. 8. Malone. The
chairman made few terse and appropriate
remarks, which were warmly received by
the audience. Harvey w. Ewing was intro
duced and delivered the society address,
The subject of the address was COLLECTS
for Study" He said that the
true student could find abun-
dant study in the works of nature. No
man In this age of literature need be
without an education. The speaker referred
to the evil effects of low and trashy litera-
ture that is to-day flooding our land, and
admonished all to shun 1t as they would
serpent. The thousands and thousands of
objects which God has given US for study
was referred to with considerable effect. His
closing remarks were that no one is capable
of employing their minds in stadious
manner, "unless they have mind to study,
and can appreciate the beautiful which
God in His kind providence had seen proper
to spread all over this glorious land.
John II. Paynter, Esq, of Georgetown,
was introduced as the orator of the evening,
and took as his subject Life az viewed from
Practical Standpoint" The Grafton was
begun by some very beautiful remarks In
regard to the speakers returning to his
Alma Mater.
His Grafton was an excellent one, and
would space permit, we would give it In
full. Mr.. Paynter deserves great credit for
the manner in which he delivered his ora
tion. A rather peculiar coincidence in re-
gard to Mr.. Paynter, is that he was married
yesterday morning and last evening de-
livered the Grafton.
The farewell address was delivered by
James p. Ware. The prevailing topic of
his speech was Requisites for Success"
and he handled it In very able manner
After few remarks by some old mem
bers of the society, The hanediction was pro-
nounced, and thus ended zone of the most
pleasant and successful anniversaries of the
season.

Preliminary Investigation Begun Miss
Butler Denies the Charge Against Bor-
den.
NEW ORLEANS, La, June ia special
to the Picayune from Mansfield, La, says:
1.-THE preliminary examination of Rev BEN
jamin T. Jenkins, DR., for the murder of
Rev. j. Lane Borden began to-day. An
effort was made by the defense to postpone
the case, but Judge Logan decided to hear
the testimony, which went to show that the
accused fired the fatal shot, The case was
adjourned till to morrow.
MISS BUTLER NOT wRoNaED.
Immediately after the shooting of Borden
by Jenkins District Attorney Hall wrote to
John 8. Butler, the father of the young lady
whose name is involved In the matter, CIV
ing him the particulars of the tragedy, the
alleged cause being the ruin of his daughter.
Mr.. Butler replied under date of June 18,
saying:-"There is not one word OF truth in
the charge you refer to. regret very much
Mr.. Jenkins took up such an idea. NY
daughter says she said nothing to Mr.. Jen-
kins that he possibly could infer anything
of the kind"
A special to the Ptcdyat1se from Alexan-
dria, La, gives the following statement
made by Miss Mary Butler: 81 hereby deny
having made at any time aconfession to Mr..
Ben. I. Jenkins, Jr., to the effect that Mr..
Borden had In any manner Ill treated me
only SO far Ms shall be explained When
asked by Mr.. Jenkins If Mr. Borden had
treated me badly told him yes. He then
asked In what way. l told him: Il can't
tell, but you can think any way you wish.'
The only indignity ever offered by Mr.. Bor-
den to me was in the library about ten days
ago, when | was there for some
books, when he approached me and
attempted to put his hands upon
me, and Immediately left the room and
was never in his presence alone again dur
ing the remainder of my stay at Mansfield
This treatment of Mr.. Borden to me was
never mentioned to anyone but my mother"
1t may be stated that Miss Butler has
father and two brother to protect her honor
if such protection had been necessary. She
is 1S years of age, handsome and unusually
intelligent. A younger sister was at the
Mansfield Seminary with her. Jenkins
seems to have been suffering from halluci
nation of mind when he fred the fatal shot.

Strawberry Shipments.
cleaning Rodney Street Basla .

Chief Engineer Coyle reports that the
north basin of the Rodney street reservoir
was emptied last night and cleaned this
morning. The basin, he said, was not as
dirty as he had expected It to be from the
scum which toated on the surface. This
scum, he says, Is very deceptive. as the
whole amount found upon the surface If
SKINNED off would hardly gil an egg shell.
The scrubbing was completed about 8
O'Clock this morning, when water was Inn
mediately let in. The south basin will be
emptied this morning and the work of clean
ing 1t will be completed In all probability
by two o'clock this afternoon.

hour, so that it was 1911 before they landed
