The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1883-08-04

A telegram from Vicksburg to the N
O. Times-Democrat OF the 30th inst.
says the latest advice from Sunfower
Yazoo and Tallahstchie counties, as wei
as from the bends above, are to the ef
feet that corn and cotton are especially
fine and larger than at any period since
the war, especially corn. In some few
places in this and Kinds county, in the
region OF the Big Black River, worms
have made their appearance, but so far
have done no damage.
Worms are also reported on several
places in Madison parish, La, but have
as yet done but little injury to the crops.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1883-08-04

An Appeal correspondent, writing
from Shell Mound, Miss, July 2S, says:
"About 7:30 o'clock yesterday evening
Mr.. Matthew Beck, one of our best citi-
zens, was assassinated at his place here
by unknown parties, the weapon used
being a Winchester rifle, at very short
range. The assassns were tracked about
three miles, where all trace was lost.
suspicion points to family Of negroes
named Murrell, who are said to be some-
what related to the notorious John A..
Murrell, OF former days.
Crops in this section are very tine-in
fact such as no other country but this
would produce.

Mr.. Charles Heller was behind the bars in

tells curious story about how he got there.
He Is charged by Detectives Raft and Block

all violators of tho law in general About
two months ago Detective Block gave me
watch to take to a certain pawnbroker to dis
cover If the proprietor was violating the law.
took the watch and went to the place, getting
$50 ON it, and it was upon my evidence that a
case was made against the pawnbroker. l
could not find Mr.. Block to give him the pro-
ceeds and did not see him until nearly week
him tho money in few days. He told me
not to hurry myself about it, and conse-
quently | did not, for tho money furnished
me by him and Rabb amounted TO nearly
5000. On Saturday | saw Block and he asked
me for the $50. / told him l did not have it
then. He said all right.

day have left Annapolis and the naval
academy, and after tho exciting scenes and
commoton attending the commencement ex-
crciscs, comes the usual quiotness indicating
that all Is over. The theme of conversation
yesterday was the scenes enacted in the
chapel which were very doplOrablc In fact
1t was misunderstanding between both
cadets and superintendent, aud could have
been averted had there been less haste
A member Of the board of visitors remarked
that II was an unfortunate occurrence. Like
every other matter of tho kind, there are two
sides to 1t. The superintendent is upheld
when his way of thinking people are about,
and the cadets also have their sympathizing
friends and admirers.
Among the successful cadets yesterday was
Cadot w. j. Baxter, appointed from Ohio, but
whose parents reside In Washington. Mr.
Baxter entered the academy in 1879 as q cadet
engineer, and has held foremost position in
his class ever since. lie graduated No. 4 in
q class of 81 members, and was among those
honored by having star" placed TO his
name on the merit roll, signifying that his
averages in studies have been above the stand
ard during the four years aca demic course.

The SlliDDlilr Bill,

The senate committee on commerce took
final action on the shipping bill yesterday, and
ordered favorable report to be made upon it
to the senate.
The committee have amended the bill by
striking out tho thirteenth section, which
delegated to the collectors of ports the duties
now performed by the shipping commits
sioners; and have also added u section which
authorizes the postmaster general to contract
for the carriage of the mails in ocean steam
ship of American register, providing that he
shall pay not exceeding 81 per mile
for such service, and provided tho gross
amount to be paid for such service shall not
exceed S1,500,000 per annum. Due notice is
to be given by advertisement, and the con-
tracts are to be awarded to the lowest bidder,
regardless of the size of the vessel, only pro-
vided that the vessel is of American register
and owned and run by Americans. The Sec
tion also contains provision that n drawback,
equal to the amount of the duty, shall be al
lowed on all foreign materials imported and
used in the construction or repair ofAmerican
vessels.
The bill, as amended, will probably be re-
ported to the senate to-day.

The Monkey ana the Sugar.

A recent English writer gives the following
illustration of the sagacity of animals:
/ remember once in India giving tame
monkey lump of sugar inside corded bot.
tie. The monkey was Of an inqurng mind,
and IL nearly killed it. Sometimes, in an i'm.
pulse of disgust it would throw the bottle
away out of its own reach, and then be dis.
tracted until it was given back to it. AZ
others it would sit with countcnance of the
most intense detection, contemplating the
bottled sugar and then, as If pulling itsell
together for another effort at the solution
would sternly take up the problem afresh, and
gaze into it, 1t would tilt it up one way and
try to drink the sugar out of the neck, and
then suddenly reversing it try to catch 1t rs
1t fell out at the bottom.
Under the impression that / I could capture
IL by surprise, 1t kept rasping its teeth
against the glass in futile bites, and, warming
to the pursuit of the revolving lump, used tC
tie itself into regular knots around the bottle
Fits of the most ludicrous melancholy would
alternate with spasms of delight us q new
idea seemed to suggest itself, followed by a
fresh series of experiments.
Nothing availed, however, until one day a
light was shed upon the problem by q jar OF
olives falling from the table with crash, and
the fruit rolled about in all directions. His
monkeyship contemplated the catastrophe O
and reasoned upon it with the intelligence OF
o Humboldt. Lifting the bottle high in his
paws, he brought IL down upon the floor with
n tremendous noise smashing the glass into
Fragments after which he calmly transferred
the sugar to his mouth, and munched it with
much satisfaction.

AN ENRAGED LIoNEss.
She Made Her Keeper Have Some Respect
for Her.

Peter Marvin, an animal trainer, was
severely injured by lioness belonging to ].
b. Doris Inter Ocean circus, in the winter
quarters of the show at Frankford. The ami
mails of the show occupy several buildings in
Harrison street. The tropical animals are
kept in room by themselves. The room is
tift y feet square, and along three Of the walls
are heavy oak and iron cages in three tiers,
one above the other. The lions, tigers, leop-
ards, panthers, and hyenas are imprisoned in
the lower dens, Juno is the largest Honess
of the collection, and is five years old. Until
u few months ago she was regarded as one of
the best disposed brutes of her species. Last
summer she assumed a protectorate over two
motherless cubs in tho show, and since
then has shown q great rage whenever
her proteges were approached. Just be,
fore dark last evening Mr.. Marvin gave
the cubs their share Of the liver and
paused q moment to fondle them. This an
gered Juno, and as he advanced toward her
cage to pacify her he stumbled and fell
against the bars. In an instant Juno seized
his right arm above the elbow. Marvin
grasped the bottom of the cage with his left
hand. Juno held his right arm with one
paw and struck through the bars at his head
with the other. A lad named Donohue
seized an iron bar and tried to make Juno
drop Marvin, but only increased her rage.
All the animals became wildly excited, and
their roars and cries could be heard blocks
away. Donohue ran out shrieking for help,
and a number Of men started to go to Mar
wins assistance In the meantime Juno had
torn the flesh from Marvin's wrist, struck
him several terrible blows on the shoulder,
and then allowed him to drop to the ground
and crawl away.
just as the resouers reached the door they
heard the sound of crushing timber, accom-
panied by the angry beasts roars. Juno had
thrown herself against the bars and broken
through The interior of the building was
dark, and no one dared venture in. They
heard Juno charging about the place and hesi-
tated. They supposed Marvin was dead. He
had reached the rack in which the heavy
iron bars used TO clean the cages were kept,
and, sezing one, boldly advanced on Juno,
who was crouching in the corner. The men
outside, Teassured by hearing above the din
the animals were making, the voice of Mar
win ordering the lioness back to her cage,
entered, and the beast was subdued. After
Juno was Gagged it was noticed that one of
pair of blauw boks, for which Doris paid
$1,000, was trembling like leaf, and tears
ran down the frightened animals face. Two
minutes later 1t was dead. Marvin, though
seriously injured, will recover, and may re-
gain the use of his arm.
