OF mules is less pronounced, being estimat-
ed at 81 per cent.
{ The rise in value in horses since 1879 has
been the most noticeable feature in farm
stock VALUES. The highest prices of the
imitation period were reached in 1869,
averaging $84 16, declining from that date
t. the lowest ebb of agricultural depres-
zion, in 1879, to $52.41. The present price
is nearly that of 1874, and does not differ
much from the value of 1869 reduced to
gold, showing that the price Of horses is
now relatively high, and furnishing a solid
reason for the increase in numbers and for
the frequent expression of correspondents
that horses and mules pay the stock grower
better than any other class of animals.
There is another good reason for the un-
yielding prices of horses In time of gen.
eral shrinksge of values, viz: the i'm
provement in the quality by thoroughbred
blood, and especially the increase of weight
by the general distribution of French and
English draught horses.

DARING TRAIN ROBBERS.
Tramps Fire -Four Bullets Into q Bag.

gage vi aster.
A dispatch from Cincinnati says the Amer
lean express messenger, J. H. Zimmerman,
and Baggage-master Joe Ketchum were
alone together in the express and baggage
car of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St.
Louis and Chicago railway train on Friday
as that train neared Cincinnati. Zimmer-
man called Ketchum's attention to some
tramps that he saw through the glass win
dow of the car door leading to the front
platform, next to the locomotive tender.
Both men arose and went toward the front
door. When within 10 feet of it the tramps
began firing through the glass window.
Ketchum fell shot in four places, two balls
entering his abdomen, one his breast
and one his left shoulder. Zimmer-
man tried to draw his pistol, but
it stuck in his hip pocket and he retreated to
the rear platform of the car where he met
the conductor. The latter pulled the bell
rope and stopped the train. While this was
going on one of the tramps climbed on the
tender, where he was met by the engineer
and fireman, and knocked stiff by two blows
from monkey wrench. The engineer and
fireman then rolled him off the tender while
the train was at full speed. Before he was
thrown overheard, however, second rob
ber attempted to climb on the tender, but
he weakened and lodged back at the
prostrate form of his compan-
ion. Before the train stopped more than
one robber was seen to jump off and disap-
pear in the darkness. Ali of them wore
masks completely covering their faces. Not
word was spoken by the robbers during the
entire affray, and not a shot was fired at
them. They fired, Mr.. Zimmerman and the
conductor think, not less than 10 shots. Zim-

is IT A MURDER.
Postal Clerk Found in KHis Car.


A terrible tragedy occurred on Sunday at
Bangor, Me-, resulting in the death of Jere-
miah G. Sinclair of Ossipee, N. H., postal
clerk on the Bangor and Boston night run.
The details are shrouded in mystery. He
had Just finished piling the mail bags in his
car and q signal had been given to start,
when the conductor ordered the train stopped,
which was done after it had moved the
length of two cars. 1t was said that man
in the postal car had been taken with hem
orrhage, and must be removed. Several per-
SONS rushed into the Car and found Sin
clair lying on pile of bags in pool of
blood. He was taken into an omnibus and
carried to the Penobscot Exchange, where
he boarded. On reaching tie place he was
dead. 1t is supposed that he was dead when
placed in the omnibus The body was taken
to Undertaken Hunts to be prepared for
burial, when it was found that, instead of
from hemorrhage, death had resulted from a
wound in the breast, made with some sharp
instrument apparently double edged, cut
ting through his jumper and shirt, and pen
etrating the breast just below the left collar
bone, to the depth of four inches. The large
artery was severed and death must have en-
sued almost Immediately as shown by the
autopsy held tonight.
The only persons known to have been with
the deceased in the car were Postal Clerks
o. G. Sellon of Massach usets and s. Lyman
Hayes of New Hampshire, who have run for
years with Sinclair, the latter having been
on the road some "A years. The train started
off directly, taking the postal clerks, and
nothing further has been learned. Marshal
Whitney has telegraphed to have them re-
turned on the morning train From the ap
pearance of the wound it would seem that il
might have been inflicted either by a blow
in front or behind or might have been self
inf cted. Some believe th't a tramp or
other evil-disposed person may have been
concealed in the compartment car occupied
by Sinclair and dealt the fatal blow and
escaped before the alarm was given.
Deceased was much liked by all, and was
not known to have an enemy, and his asso-
ciates in the service stand as high as any in
the community. An inqu~st will lie he'd as
soon as those i'll the train can be brought
here, and the matter will be thoroughly in
vestigated. Deceased was about 60 years
old, and leaves a second wife The commu-
nifty is in high state of excitement over the
terrible and mysterious affair.

REV. JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE
The Eminent Boston Divine Passes
Away.


1t will be painful news to the thousands of
friends of the distinguished divine whose
name heads this article to hear that he passed
peacefully away at his home on Woodside
avenue, Jamaica Plain, Mass, on Friday.
DR.. Clarke, though born in Hanover, N.
H., April A, 1910, was baptized in Boston not
long afterward, as on the old register of bap-
tisms at Kings chapel is an entry under
date of April IA, ISL, reciting that James
Freeman, child Of Samuel and Rebecca P.
Clarke, was baptized on that day, the spon-
sors being the parents and James Freeman.
The latter, who was the grandfather Of the
infant, was the first avowed preacher of
Unitarianism in the United States, and it
was in consequence Of his change Of belief,
while rector Of Kings chapel, that this
church, the Oldest one in New England, be-
came the first Unitarian church in this coun-
try. DR.. Clarke has given an appreciative
account of this worthy man in h 'Me-
mortal and Biographical Sketches" Young
Clarke entered the Boston Latin school at 10
years Of age, and remained there five years
He had then girlish face, which led his
schoolmates to tease him, but after he had
shown the boys that he could "strike out
from the shoulder" they learned to respect
him and ceased their chatting. He entered
Harvard college in 1926, thus becoming a
member Of the famous class of 1929 Among
the members of that class were such famous
judges as the late Benjamin R. Curtis and
the late Chief Justice Bigelow; the cee-
brated mathematician, B anjamin Pierce; the
admirable raconteur, the late George 4.
Davis; the well known divine, the late
Chandler Robbins; William Henry Chan
ming; the last and most brilliant of ALL DR.,
Oliver Wendell Holmes.

WRECKED ON A CORAL REEF.
Hardships of the Crew of tho Bark
Henry James.

Henry bames.
The Pacific mail steamer Mariposa arrived
at San Francisco on Saturday from Sidney,
via Auckland and Honolulu. She reports
that on May 90 she rescued from PALMYRA
island, an uninhabited coral reef, about 1900
miles north of the Samoan group, the crew
and passengers Of the British bark Henry
James, Capt. Latimer, which was wrecked
there on April 16 while bound from New
Castle, N S. W., to San Francisco. The
Henry James struck the reef 30 miles from
Palmyra. Among the passengers were sew
eral women and children. All on board took
to small boats, and with the few provisions
which could be hastily collected set sail for
the island. When they arrived there a few
deserted huts were found, and the women
and children were made as comfortable as
possible. No clothing or other
effects were saved, except a
pair of blankets, which were thoroughly
drenched. A few days later the boat in
chlrge of the first mate with the boatswain
and three seamen left the island for Samoa,
which was reached in 10 days. An attempt
was made to board the wreck which still
lay on the reef, but she was found to be set
tling down, and it was impossible to obtain
any more provisions from her. When the
small boat reached Samoa, the disaster was
reported, and steamer sent to rescue the
survivors a short time afterward. Capt
Hayward Of the steamer Mariposa, while off
Tutnila, was notified of the wreck Of
the Henry James by Lieut..
Cressap of the United States steamer Mohi-
can, and he left for Palmyra at once. When
he arrived there he found the provisions of
the party to be rather low, but they had
been able to subsist upon cocoanuts and a
few other articles found on the island. No
serious illness had occurred. The outcasts
were given a liberal donation of clothes and
money by the officers and passengers Of
the Mariposa, and few days later they were
landed at Honolulu, where they will remain
until the next steamer sails for this port.
