At Laconia, New Hampshire, S.
S. Andrews was aroused by wo-
mans screams, and, with his son, has
tened to the house of neighbor
named Ruddy, whence the screams
proceeded. They found Mrs. Rudy,
aged So years, lying on the ground
beneath the front window, through
which she had leaped. She was bleed
ing profusely, and said she had been
cut all to pieces. She was properly
cared for. Assistance was obtained
and the door of the house forced
open, when flames burst out and an
alarm of fire was sounded. The flames
were quickly extinguished, when the
bodies of Rudy and his only child,
one and half years ago, were found
living on the kitchen floor. Both were
cut in a terrible manner and covered
with the contents of feather bed,
that had been saturated with kero-
sene and set on fire. The bodies
were so disfgured by the flames as
to be nearly past recognition. In a
bedroom was found in trunk the
lifeless body of Mrs. Ford, which was
identified by her husband. One OF
the limbs had been chopped off and
the remaining member and detached
: leg bound to the woman's body with
clothes-line. Bed clothes had beer
saturated with oil and piled upon the
body, and an attempt was made t.
+, set them on fire, which failed. Mrs
Ruddy stated that the crime was com
mitted by Thomas Samon, an Eng
!, lishman and an acquaintance of tn
y family. Samon is about thlrty-eigh
years old and cook by trade. Th
: deed was done with Ratchet. Sa
u mon was arrested, and also Ford, tn
J. J. husband of the murdered woman.

Tracklaying will commence next
week Oh the Cascades division. A
large amount of material is being for
waraed to the Cottonwood landing
daily, which is some five miles above
Ainsworth, and on the opposite side
of the Columbia river. The boat US
ed in conveying the materials from
Ainsworth alone for this division,
makes two trips day, and the work
of forwarding materials goes on night
and day. The bulk of the grading
on the first 25 miles is done, but the
bridging of the gulches, and other
trussel work on the line, had not COM
menced; but the timber for it is go
ing forward rapidly. A locomotive
was to be taken up the fore part OF
this week, which is to be utilized for
carrying along the materials as fast as
the work progresses. The ties on the
ground for this section of the Cas-
cade branch, have been brought from
Montana, and that is the source from
whence all the ties for the 25 miles
will come. 1t is expected to have the
track completed and in running order
by the close of this month httlta'

mule power. Well, to condense a long

Hot Water for Insects

Application of hot water to kill destructive
insects has the important advantage that it
does not cover edible plants with any foreign
or poisonous matter, as may take place when
other remedies are used We have success
fully used heated water for many years to
destroy the cabbage worm, if applied after
tine head has formed the hot water only
| affecting the outer leaves, and not even inur-
ing these Improperly applied. There are two
essential requisites to be observed, namely,
to have the water at the right degree of heat,
and to continue showering just long enough.
AS general rule we find it best to apply the
water rather hot and but for a moment.
Some experiment and judgment are requir-
ed to make these two requisites meet, and by
not doing so many persons fail in the use
aud pronounce the remedy of no value
What we want is series of experiments, in
connection with the use of the thermometer,
to determine what temperature, and how many
seconds, will be required to kill the different
destructive insects, and to ascertain how
high degree of heat may be applied to
plants without injuring them. Soft Larvae
may be more easily disposed of in this way,
doubtless than hard shelled beetles and old,
matured foliage and growth will be less SEN
sitlve to hot water than young and tender
growth, --tOuntry Gentleman.

who scented chance for profitable invest

he asked, after some general conversation
"Splendidly. We have the right of way for

gobblc it for the other seventeen" "How
much stock have you issued ?" 5000 ,OOO."
And how much has been sold powell you
see, it has all been preliminary thus far We
have sold enough stock to buy blue uniforms
for all the general officers, furnish up several
rooms with mahogany desks and moquette

furnish the superintendent with n yacht, we
