sCIRNTIRIC NOTES.

In lecture delivered at Manchester,
England, the other day, Mr.. Leo Grin
don estimated that out of the 100000
known species of Towering plants 10000
are of direct service to man, and 5000 are
more or less poisonous or hurtful.
Mr.. D. Howitz has considered the rela-
ton of forests to fresh-water fisheries in a
paper which appears among the pubIica-
tons of the late Fisheries Exhibition in
London. He regards it as at least prob
able that the disappearance of salmon
from rivers has in some cases been due
TO the removal of the forests from the
banks Of the stream.
Assingie plant Of a new species of po-
tato-which has received the botanical
name of Solanum Ohroudi-was some
time ago discovered on small uninhab-
ted island at the mouth Of the river Platte
in South America The tubers, abou,
the size Of hens eggs, were carried to
France and planted. The taste Of the tu-
bers was bitter, with chestnut favor, buI
under cultivation the quality is reported
to be improving. The yield is abundant
and, as little labor is required to raise the
crop, it is thought that the new potato
may furnish desirable food for cattle
! even if il does not become sufficiently
improved for table use.

Where Pettus and ClementI Have
Gone.

St Louis, Jan. Sd spatches from
Hillsboro say that matters are very quiet
there, SO far to-day, but that some bitter
talk against the jurors is being INDUCED
in but no violent feelings are manifested.
Lee Pettus left for the west this morning
and Clementie, starts for Irving, small
town, six miles away where he has
friends.
A dispatch from Irving says when it
became known that he was in the place
he was given FIVE minutes to leave and he
went at once. Montgomery's where
abouts OF plans are not definitely known.
St. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 3-A dispatch from
Taylorsville, Illinois, the homezaof the
Bond family, says that when the verdict
of the jury became generally known there
this morning the feeling and expression of
the people was that justice can no longer
be obtained. The friends of Montgom-
cry and the other defendants, and they
have friends, endorse the verdict of
course, and talk more freely than for a
long time. The Bond family arrived
here yesterday to attend the funeral of
their relative who suicided yesterday.
Grief over their loss of the dead seemed
to take away the effect Of the verdict.
Col. Bond said this morning that the
alibi was too strong for the jury and he
had not counted on a conviction since
that testimony was given. The funeral
of Abner D. Bond took place this after
noon, at the Christian church and not
withstanding the intense cold weather an
immense crowd was present.
A dispatch from Hillsboro to the Asso-
ciated press says: There is still great ex-
citement there. Tonight at meeting
with Glenn, prominent miller, as the
leader, resolutions were adopted that if
any of the defendants were in town to-
morrow morning public meeting should
be called and they be notified to leave
Immediately. The movement made to
hang the jury has been abandoned. The
sheriff seems very nervous in regard to the

A STORY OF FORGERr.
How a Young Man got Away wish
800, 900.

; Chicago, jan 3.-The belated story of
a forgery to a very large amount and the
flight and arrest was made public this
evening by Pinkerton's detective agency.
About Christmas the agency received a
telegram from Barnes of New York and
New Haven, American agents for the
large Liverpool commission house
of Bomford brothers, that their
exchange clerk E. H. Kobb had
absconded after forging and converting
to his own use $4,000 in exchange be-
longing to the agency. 1t was soon dis
covered that Kobb was here in company
with man named John R. Vanarsdale
and that they were spending money very
freely. While the case was being worked
up Vanarsdale returned to New
York where he was arrested.
Last Friday Kobb was arrested
secretly in house of ill-repute with one
of the inmates of whom he had become
enamoured and was on the point of start
ing for Mexico. Four hundred dollars
was found in his possession, SI2oo- worth
of furs and silks whice he had lavished on
the woman, was also taken possession Of
1t was found that Kobb had spent Sz5oo
here and Yanarsdale had spent sSzooo.
1t appears that he forged bills of exchange
and invested the money in government
bonds, and absconded. Pinkerton says
he confessed to his stealings being fully
100000. He was taken to New York
the same day. When arrested last Sum
day he took the detective to the upper
part of New York where, after some
difficulty, they recovered from a dry
cistern encased in a hermetically sealed
drain pipe and wrapped in oiled silk gov
eminent bonds to the amount of $4,000,
going thence to Brooklyn where another
piece of drain pipe yielded $4,000. It.
is not known whether any more
money has been recovered. Kobb was
well connected and once occupied re-
sponsible-p position with the Iunman line
and has brother now chief clerk of that
line.

him, in reference to the right of Post-Mas-

Four of the six roads represented viz.
Chicago & Northwestern, Wabash,
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul and the
Missouri Pacific agreed informally to the
proposals made by Mr.. Pierson as the

1t is thought that the establishment of
this agreement between the western and
