A special meeting of the court house
commissioners was held yesterday af-
ternoon, when the county auditor was
authorized to advertise for bids for
grouting the basement floor of the new
structure. He was also instructed to
call for bids for the construction of an
engine house, and bids for alteration in
rebuilding and demonstrating the walls
and chimney of the present jail build
ing. This practically settles, for the
present, the questiSn of the erection of
a new county jail on the corner of Fifth
and Cedar streets, which has been I'M

for some time. The conclusion has
been reached that under the law which
constituted the commission, it has no
power to eXpend money on any build
ings except those already built or now
under construction. The final estimate
of the Fire Proof Coating company, of
Chicago, for $40. 100, on. the completion
of their contract was allowed.

terry was discharged, but the dog did
not die at once, as he ought to have
and vainly trying to escape, the poor
brute yielded up his life. A second at
tempt was then made with
A BIG BLACK BRUTE.
But this time the struggles of the dog
were so violent and prolonged that the
audience began to beat retreat before
death ended the sufferings of the dog.
The first dog died in one minute and
twenty seconds, while the second took
almost double that time. The failure of
the experiment was doubtless due to the
imperfect arrangement of the battery
and connecting wires.

MIsterious Crime.

A very mysterious shooting affair,
which will, in all likelihood, cause the
death of Mrs. Rottie Stockcs, residing
Oh Greenwich street, in Philadelphia,
occurred. Three shots were heard in
the house, and an officer, upon in
vestigation, found that Cuban
named Fred R4imos had shot Mrs.
Stokes three times, two of the bull
lets taking effect in her face and the
third one in one Of her lungs. The
officer arrested Raimos, but only sue
ceeded in doing so after the prisoner
had fred a shot and been clsbhed i'm
to insensibility. Both Mrs. Stokes
and Rsimos we're taken to a hospital,
where the former is dying, and the
latter is either feignIng or is actually
unconscious. Not the slightest clue
as the motive for the crime can be
learned, the woman being unable, by
reason of the wounds in her face, to
talk, and the prisoner is likewise 81
lent. Mrs Stockes has a seven-year-
old child, and lived with her husband
in the house where she received her
wounds. Her husband, who returned
to the house shortly after the affair
can throw no light upon it.

FREpsRrck's DIARY.
The Thirty Volumes Written by the La
Emperor of Germany.

The Thirty Volumes Written by the Late
Emperor of Germany.
There has been great deal of gossip
of the widest and most scandalous
kind about Prussian State papers which
are alleged to have been found missing
at Potsdam after the death of the En-
peror Frederick. and Ii is stated that
they were handed by the Empress
Victoria to the Queen when her Majesty
was at Charlottenburg, and that they
are in England. These stories culmin-
ated in the malevolent inventions of an
evening paper about the virtual i'm
prisonment" of the Empress Victoria.
which, however, were such palpable
flctions that they excited no attention
at home or abroad. The real truth,
however, which reaches me from a
trustworthy correspondent in Germany,
is that the diary of the Emperor Fred
erick can not be found. The Emperor
had kept a journal during more than
thirty years (ever since his marriage),
which was not a mere record of his
movements and occupations. but an
elaborate running commentary upon
public affairs-both political and social
very much in the style OF Mr..
Greville's Memoirs. This diary was
contained in thirty immense volumes,
each being secured by a lock, and
directly after the Emperors's death
his successor, at the request of Prince
Bismarck, demanded that the whole Of
them should at once be given up. in
y.1a hot hfs
might be placed among the Prussian
State archives at Berlin. The Empress
refused to surrender the volumes, and
when a second and a more peremptory
application was made after the En-
peror's funeral, her Majesty announced
that the diary had been taken to En-
gland by the Queen, and that she
would probably publish it, as it had
been her husbands particular wish
that 1t should be published after a
suitable revision, and that he had re-
1 quested her to act as his literary exc
cutrix. The Empress, / hear, added
! that justice to the late Emperor S
memory requires this publication, as
he would derive as much benefit from
it as her father, the Prince-Consort.

The Beavers Building Instinct.

A gentleman living in Montana
caught a pair of kitten beave~s. and
kept them in box in his barn. They
were gentle, alfectionate little creatures
and showed no disposition to be dis
contented with their lot, until one day
an accident happened which reused
their sleeping instinct for dam-build-
ing, and converted them into shy,
wild beavers almost in a day. The
outlet of the watering trough became
stopped Up. and the water in conse-
quence ran over the side and made d
little stream through the barnyard.
II was the sight of cunning water that
revealed TO the beavers the strongest
impulse of their natures. At oncs
they dragged brooms, pitchforks and
every other available thing to the
stream. and did the best they could to
make dam. The next day they dis
appeared, and it was not until dam
arose in a creek near by that the gen,
tleman knew what had become of his
pets. But they were his pets nj
longer; they bad at once become a
wild as if they had never seen a man.

L Jamaica Insect which Kills or the

The greatest bane 10 the cotton

once gets a foothold, from the time
he cotton is planted until it is harvest
ID. it is one steady fight against this
active enemy; and ii a rainy spell
should happen to come up, and the

great predilection for the COCO Mr..
Maxwell obtained from Jamaica sew
eral hundred eggs of the bug which is
known scientifically as the sphaetGiis
rulgaris minor.
Only twenty of the eggs hatched- He
began operations with these. He plant
ed the eggs in a box, raised several
crops of them, and, when he thought
he had enough, began planting them
in the worst coco patch on his planta-
ton, scattering them three feet apart
just as though he was planting seed.
After some weeks some of the COCO be-
gan to wilt An examination showed
that the worm had burrowed down two
or three feet in the ground to the nut
from which the COCO springs, eaten it.
and thus killed the plant. Since the
| first crop was Matched out about the
beginning of May, FIVE crops of worms
have been Matched, have laid their
eggs and died, and each crop has been
many fold larger than its predecessor,
until the twenty sphdctaLes have grown
to many billions.
In one place they have destroyed ten
acres of the coco, cutting it level with
the ground. burrowing to the roots and
annihilating it, but not injuring the
cotton in the least 1t is not yet known
whether it will attack other plants
than COCO. In Jamaica it is said not
to injure other grasses of any kind.
