BURGLAR KILLED.-A dispatch from
Helena, Ark, dated yesterday says: Last
night about 10 O'Clock Jones, the clerk who
sleeps in the back part of Ferguson's store,
inst opposite Helena, in Mississippi, was
awakened by some one entering the front
door. He thought at first that the person
coming was Mr.. Ferguson, and called him.
Upon receiving no response he picked up
GUN and went to door leading out into the
store. Just as he opened it powerful blow
was dealt him on the head, knocking him
down. He arose to grapple with his us
sailant. In the struggle the gun was CTS
charged, doing, however, no damage. Jones
commenced to yell at the top OF his VOICE.
and Ferguson. who was in his residence,
short distance away, hearing the discnarSe
of the gun and the appeal for help, has'''E
picked up rifle and ran to the store, "hrie
he found Jones and the burglar stu nerceiS
fighting. As soon as Jones saw ferguson,
be yelled, "Shoot him, he Is Hililng me-
and broke loose from his adversary $"
as to be out Of Ferguson's range. Whei'
the man saw Ferguson he greppled wild
him, not, however, until after ne had re
celved shot in the fesby par; OF MS lelt
arm. fierce struggle then began between
the man and Ferguson. The rulhan was ;
the more powerful, but owing to The loss of
blood he soon called out to Ferguson to stop,
saving that he was badly wounded and
would surrender. Ferguson being thus
thrown off his guard, released him. The
fellow then attempted to secure the rifle,
but Ferguson attacked him before he could
use it and succeeded in wrenching the gun
away. The man then turned to run, when
Ferguson shot him again, the hall taking
effect in his body, aud he dropped dead:
The would be robber and murderer landed
near the store yesterday evening in skih
and is known to no one. He appeared to
be about 50 years old and was dressed like
fisherman. Nothing leading to the identity
of the man could be found"

A MINNESOTA IDEA.-A license bill has
been introduced into the Minnesota Leg

mits to all such male adult residents of
the State as can prove to Village Trus-

that they are only moderate drinkers, and
that their families will not suffer through
their indulgence. Every resident who
drinks in saloon or public place must
have permit, an infraction OF the law
will be punished by fine. A special
committee has recommended the passage
of the bill, which IS regarded by its au-

A STARTLING PHENoMENoN.-Ma
son had tremor on Friday last which
was due, not to a social or other earth
wake, nor yet to a dynamite explosion.
A disturbance which shook the university
buildings was caused by the contraction
and expansion of ice in Lake MENDOZA.
Under the influence of intense cold the
ice had expanded until the shores could
resist the pressure no longer, when the
ice burst and doubled up about 400 feet
from the shore, and on line parallel
with it. The sudden release of the shores
from the pressure caused the tremor.
This phenomenon Of freezing upon bodies
of water having low shores frequently
results in the piling up of huge rocks on
the edge and the overturning of trees.
The shore-line Ct lakes frequently consists
of gravel mounds forced up during sue.

SoUTHERN LUMBER. lumber
is becoming an object of increased at
tention. Pine and cypress are plenty.
Cypress is almost as strong and durable
as cedar and is much used ID railroad
construction in the South. But the
wealth of timber ia which the South is
specially favored is its hardwood forests.
These timbers are for all purposes, from
the building of ship down to the han
dies of small edge.tools, are nos surpassed
if equaled, anywhere in the world. By
actual test, the white oak hickory is cap
able of 331s per cent. more resistance
than the hickory and white oak of the
North The reason for this is its longer
period of growth. The ash of the South
is fayorite for agricultural implements
and railroad cars The Southern walnut
is in very active demand. Poplar is
much used for furniture. The swamp
red sweetgum is also valuable, but little
