KILLED His Mistress.

LyNcHBURG, Va, September T.
The little town of Liberty near here,
is in state of great excitement over
the terrible tragedy enacted there
last night the outcome of illicit love
and jealousy. Thomas @. Wilson
and Charles f. Fizer, young clerks
in clothing store and until recently
great friends, last night visited a
house of ll-repute, the occupants OF
which are mulatto girls. Neither OF
the young men knew that the other
was going to the place. A bright
mulatto girl of nineteen years named
Ada Jenkins it appears, was the mis-
tres of Wilson. The man was infat-
uated with this woman and extreme
ly jealous of her. When Wilson went
to the house about ten O'Clock last
night he found Fizer in company with
Ada Jenkins. Sharp words followed
and Wilson drew q revolver and began
firing. Fizer fell mortally wounded
and another shot intended for him,
struck the woman in the head and
killed her almost instantly. Both OF
the young men were respectfully CON
nected. The dead woman's body
was found in an orchard near the
house. Wilson surrendered himself.

A Red Hot Fire

CINcINNArTI, Sept. 7.-Shortly
after 10 o'cock last night the ware
house OF the Monarch Oil Company
at the corner Of Whitaker and East
Front streets,was discovered to be on
fire by Peter Feight who lives in the Vi
cinity. An alarm was immediately
sent in from box 10, and was quickly
followed by a second. There were
abut 500 barrels of oils stored in
the building, which was an old two
story frame structure. The barrels
Of oils bursted and spread the burn
ing oil over the building SO quickly
that it was completely wrapped in
flames before the fire department got
to the scene.
The firelnen could do nothing to
subdue the flames as the stream of
water only served to shake I'D the
burning oil. Luckily there were no
other buildings near. the nearest
was a rolling mill this was kept from
burning by constant stream of of
water playing on it. The loss is
about as follows: Building 1900 /;
oil$2, 500, and car $4,000, in all &c.
900. The building and oil were full
ly covered by insurance.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 8-Gov. Ire
lands action in the Resures case has
brought out another complaint of
Mexican outrage ON American citi-
liens j. B. Wood and T.. FL. Gas
kell allege that in August, 1885, they
were arrested by Mexicans on the
Lagoana range in Lower California
(Mexican)on account of the disap-
pearance of their friend, ]. I'll. Han
son, who employed them to mind
his cattle, and who went to San
francisco and did not return. The
object was to convict them of Han
sons murder and confscate their
property. They say the Mexicans
killed, eat and sold Hanson's cattle,
and one of them claimed Hanson's
property. The Mexicans doubtless
knew what had become of Hanson
who had already been once imprison-
ed for the purpose of extorting mon
ey, and who had been shot at once
and wounded by Mexicans.
The Mexicans have tried to fright
en- them SO as to make them break
jail and flee the country, but they
would not, and ere still in Jail. The
complaints say: "We have been
held one year and fifteen days for no
other reason than speculative pur-
poses on the part of the thieying
Mexicans. We have written to our
consul, La Paz, and got two or three
letters from him when we first came
down here, but he will not answer
our letters any more, and the courts
have done nothing in our case. "
Their complaint covers fifteen pages
of foolscap paper, reciting the mock
cries of Mexican courts, their harsh
treatment in jail, and the taunts of
the Mexicans that they will pay no
attention to the appeals of the prise
ners to the United States govern
ment. Henson left about $4,000
worth of property in Mexico. Gov
ernor Ireland, in reply, states that he
is glad to get this statement, but
that the complaints should appeal to
the State Department through the
Governor of California, in which
State they claim O legal residence.

Robbed. Beaten and Robbers
Caught

PEKN, Ills, Sept. 8.-Tremont, a
little village ten miles east of this
city, is excited over highway rob
berry which occurred there Monday
night. Three men called at the
house of James McDermed, q veal
thy farmer. They knocked at the
door, and as McDermed came out
side they seized him and knocked
him down, severely beating him. His
mother had become alarmed and
came to the door, when she was also
beaten and choked to silence. The
highwaymen then tortured McDer-
med into telling where he had $500
concealed in the house. After Sc
curing the money the robbers kick
ed and beat the two people into eff
fective silence, and hastily made off.
Later in the night passing neigh
Dor discovered the outrage, and soon
after posse Of men started in pur-
suit of the thieves. Three strangers
concealed in the loft of a school
house near Danforth were arrested.
They were not taken to fremont for
fear of lynching, but the description

Hill or Level Potato Culture.

The old custom of planting potatoes
in hills is destined to give way to the
level system. But, as time-honored
usage is not easily overcome, it will
require actual experiments to convince
farmers that a change to the newer
method is the best. To explain the add
yantages of the level culture we will
state that the potatoes have the adj
vantage of greater feeding room, and
also more moisture. After the plants
are well under way the earth may then
be drawn to them, when it will serve
as "A mulch and assist in retaining the
moisture as well as protecting against
the heat of the sun. If the potatoes
are planted in hills in the first place
there is a great exposure of surface,
which allows of more evaporation than
under the level system, but if the root.
are below the level, and the earth
drawn to the plants afterward, the
mound serves as a protection. Farm,
