LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE examination Of
William Ranschier. second mate, and
Ferdinand Koelpin. boatswain, Of the
American ship J.. F. Chapman, for the
murder of Seaman A. Jansen while on a
voyage from San Francisco to Liverpool,
was resumed this afternoon. The case at
tracts much attention and the court room
was crowded. The prisoners were ar
rested in Liverpool the latter part Of De-
cember, upon the arrival Of the ship at
that port. Their arrest was brought about
by the testimony of the crew to the cruel
treatment OF Jansen. After Jansen, who
was q Russian Finn, had shipped, the
captain found reason to suspect he was
penniless and sick and had Joined the
crew for the sole purpose Of securing a
passage to Europe. Jansen's inability
was resented by the captain as a p~retense
to shirk tasks, and when the ship was
two days out that officer kicked him saw
agely and struck him in the face, because
he did not pull harder in
hosting the ~topgallant sail The
second mate and boatswain took their
cue from the captain and CAV Jansen
such III usage thereafter that his death,
which occurred at sea Oct. 8, is attributed
to horrible crueltics inflicted by the pris-
oners. At the preliminary hearing at
Birkenhead a probable case was made out
against Ranschier and Koelpin. and they
were remanded. Harcourt, the home
secretary. then resumed control of the
case and had the prisoners removed to
London to facilitate ~extradition to the
! United States in case the American au.
thorities decided to prosecute them. The
session Of the court this afternoon was oc-
cupied in hearing the testimony of the
ships carpenter, Andrew johnson. He
fully c~orroborated the testimony Of Joseph
Brisk and Frederick Martin, able

The object of the mission.

SALT LAKE, Jan. l0.-The following
is official from the leaders Of the Mormon
chu. oh: 1.-THE recent visit Of prominent
Mormons to Sonora was for missionary
purposes only, the object being to intro
duce The Book Of Mormonism, recently
translated into the Spanish language,
among the Yaqui tribe Of Indians, and to
send missionaries who would instruct them
in the arts of peace and civilization as had
been successfully done elsewhere by them.
The Mexican authorities on the boundary
line were fully cognizant of the purposes
Of the Mormon missionaries and were
anxious to have them carry out their in
t~entions from their previously known sue
cess in that direction, giving full support
thereto. The Mormons claim that they
are satisfied with Utah and only leave il
as forced by lack ofroom to settle in states
and territories adjoining. The mission
aries did not see Chief Caieme, and the
whole story of the treaty, defensive, often
sive or of colonization, is entirely false. -

Consumers generally give little thought
to the magnitude Of the tobacco business,
and it is only by actual figures that they
can be made to comprehend its import
ance. Even then the average mind is
bewildered at the figures. p Lorillard x
Co., manufacturers Of the celebrated Gil
max, Red Tin Tag Plug Tobacco, and the
largest manufacturers Of tobacco in the
world, produce about one-sixth Of all the
tobacco consumed in this country, all
though there are 773 other manufactures
in the United States. The total con
sumption in this country, according to
actual statistics for 1883, was 139, 1888, 1872
pounds, Of which P. Lorillard 4 Co., fur
nished "a, TAI, 2S9, pounds as follows:

This is equivalent to about $1,000
pounds per day for every working day in
the year. The tax paid to the Govern
ment on this product by the above firm
the last year was $2,5Sl, 999, 65, or S,606
for each working day of the year. Aston
ishing as these figures appear, the firm
is annually increasing its product, the in
crease for 1883 over that Of 1882 being s.
s4l 900 pounds.

The destruction OF moths is one of
the greatest yexatiorls which careful
housekeepers have to contend with, and
their depredations are not to be remedied
after they have once made inroads.
Houses heated by furnaces are especial
ly predisposed to have moths, but every
housekeeper must be on the watch for
them, for, from the time that the win
dows begin to be let open, the trouble
begins. Heavy carpets sometimes do
not require taking up every year, unless
in constant use Take out the tacks
from these, fold the carpets back, wash
the floor in strong sllds with tablespoon
full of borax dissolved in them. Dash
with insect powder or lay with tobacco
leaves along the edge and retack. All
moths can be kept away and the eggs
destroyed by tins means. Ingram or
other carpets, after shaking, are bright
ened by sprinkling pound of salt over
the surface and sweeping carefully and
thoroughly. 1t is also an excellent plan
to wipe off the carpet with borax water
using a thick flannel cloth wrung tightly
taking care not to wet it, but only te
dampen. Open the windows and dry
the carpet before replacing the furniture
Other woolens, including blankets anG
wearing apparel, must be beaten ant

CHICAGO AND EVANSTON.

The following, i'll relation to the Chica-
60 and Evanston Railway, is from the
Chicago Eeniag Journal ofthe 25th inst. /:
On Monday next, the trains of the Chi
cago and Evanston Railway will COM
mence running in and out of the Union
depot on Canal street. The track across
the new bridge at Kinzie street and the
connections with the West Side track of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railway were completed yesterday.
Five trains day will be run each way,
for the present. Two trains go north
with short interval between them, and
return early in the day. A train goes
north about midday and two trains run
out and back in the evening. The first
train will arrive from the north at $50.
Specials will be run as occasion may re-
quire.
This road is now operated by the st.
Paul Company, and will doubtless in
time be merged in that corporation, as
it is entirely owned by capitalists inter-
ested in the st. Paul system. The mar
agement and business of the road are
conducted by Captain George Clinton,
Superintendent of the Chicago and Coun-
Gil Bluffs Division of the St. Paul sys-
tenn, and by Fred A. Miller, Assistant
General Agent of the st. Paul Company,
with headquarters at 81 Clark street.
No time has been fixed for the COM
pletion of the Chicago and Evanston line
into Evanston. 1t has had hard strug-
gle to get into the center that it wanted
to reach in Chicago. Its further pro-
gress, however, in probably more than
one direction, is but a matter of time,
and it bids fair to become very import
ant link in more than one railroad line.

DAIR Y SCRAP BOOK.

See here, my farmer friend, let me
give you a few facts. The average
farmer shcrtens the service of his lum-
Der wagon one year by leaving it out in
the sun and dew. His pillow would last
one year longer if kept painted and
sheltered. For the want of a little
attention his harness wears out only half
its days. His barns and sheds 90 to
rack for the want of paint. When the
hoof-rot could be stopped in the first
sheep If he was posted, he stops it in
the thirtieth. The farmer who gets
his agricultural hints from the almanac
loses his hogs by cholera, his fowls by
the pip, and his horses slobber from the
gate to the village store and back. Let
q man run your farm on business princi-
pies and the fence corners would not
take up four acres out of every forty /;
there would not be any old box drains
about the house to bring typhoid fever
and doctors bills. Those leaks in the
roof of the barn would not spoil three
or four tons of hay next year the want
of an eave-trough on the house would
not cave in the cellar walls the first
sign of disease among the live stock
would be promptly treated tools and
implements of every sort should be care
fully housed, and --
Well, | am going to shock you. I'd
have the harness oiled and buggies and
wagons washed once week. I'd have
a lawn about the house, and make dis
play Of flowers and shrubs I'd give a
party now and then, and encourage
meetings of farmers once month, not
to kick about railroad freights or jaw
about politics, but to post each Other on
farm work.-M. Quad.

IMPORTANT INVENTION.

Means of Ventilating Grain, invented
and patented by S. K. Street, of Waco,
Texas, by which Wheat, Cotton Seed and
other grain can be harvested and thresh-
ed as soon as dry enough thereafter and
immediately put into the Bin or Granary
without the least danger of injury from
Heating while undergoing the Sweat, and
kept all the year round entirely free from.
aUeevl. Farm rights for sale at So ca CHI,
emitting the purchaser to construct as
many bins or granaries as desired on his
premises.
How TO KEEP FRUIT, such as Peaches,
Pears, Apples, Oranges, Lemons or other
fruits in their natural state for any length
of time, without the loss of Flavor or
Color, and without the use of Jars or
cans. Watermelons, Tomatoes and
other vegetables, also eggs, ETC., can be
preserved by this process. 1t is a simple
fluid in which the fruit is dipped, which
renders it air tight. Neither of the in

BASE BALL.

At Twin Lakes, Wis.,, rivalry in base
ball has sprung up between the Acker-

leading camp on the lakes. The matter
was settled in a holly contested game
played on the Alderman grounds. The
ladies who were gathered in large num-
bers from both the hotel and the camp
gave their mines ample support by their
frequent and warm applause. The
playing of the Rockfords was sharp, but
the hotel boys were more than match
for them, and the base ball pennant
rests with the Ackermans.

DIED.

In Red Oak, July 10, 1885, Anna, wife
of Ethel Benedict, aged eighty-two
years, six months and twenty-six days.
She was born in 1902. Her maiden
name was Hoyt. She was married to
Ethel Benedict in Danbury, Conn.,, in
1924. Mrs. Benedict was the mother of
six children, three of whom are living.
She and her consort have lived consist
ent Christian lives in the Christian
church for forty-three years. Though
she is dead she still lives in the lives and
hearts of those whom she came in con-
tact, for hers was life of peace and
gentleness. AS wife she was devoted !;
as a mother, she was kind and loving.
She rests from her labors, and her works
do follow her. May the all-seeing eye
of Him who watches over the dear ones
she has left behind be with them and
keep them until they meet again in that
home where death shall not come.
