Serious Injury in the Wheat DistsIct-lsrse Loss
BURNET, January 19.-Reports are be-

and it is feared every field of wheat in
Burnett, Llano, Wilson and other coun-
ties along the Colorado River has been
entirely destroyed by the severe frost.
Definite reports of the loss of cattle
during the recent blizzard are slowly
coming in, although every ranchman ad-
mits heavy loss of cattle during the
recent blizzard. The sheep men report
a loss of from two to twelve head out of
every flock. The Brazos and Color . 70
rivers are frozen solid, something never
known before.
The failure of the crops last year re-
duced the supply of feed for cattle, so
that during the cold spell herds were
without water or food
Reports from the grazing district of
the State say that cattle on southwestern
ranges weathered the great blizzard in
very good shape. The loss was confined
entirely to sickly and poorly fed stock.

Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio, then moved to
take up and consider his bill repeating
the tobacco tax. Some discussion ensued
from which it appeared that the Demo-
cratic majority was averse to consider
ing any specific tax reduction bill at this
time, preferring to take up that class of
bills in connection with the general
tariff reduction bill which it is the in
tention Of the committee to present to
the House.
Finally Mr.. Breckenridge, of Arkan-
sas, moved to defer consideration of Nc
Kinley's bill until the general subject of
revenue reduction is taken up by the
and this motion prevailed
by a strict party vote of five to four.
The subject is expected to come up
again at the meeting of the committee
next Tuesday.

BOLD ATTEMPT
At RAILROAD ROBBERY FOILED.
The Shearers Go Forth to Shear and Are
shorn-The Plot Revealed by
Confederate.

ST. LOUIS, January 19.-Train robbers
were foiied last night in an attempt TO
rob an express train ON the Wabash and
Western Railroad at Cooley's Lake,
twenty-four miles east of Kansas City.
The country officials had been warned of
the intended robbery and they sent an
armed posse on the train and had another
posse concealed in the woods close to
Cooley's Lake. The robbers programme
was carried out all right up to certain
point. The train was stopped by
a red light and three men.
armed with rifles, covered the
engineer and ordered him to dismount.
He did SO, and as he reached the ground
part of the posse concealed in the engine
gave the robbers a volley. Others on
the train came up, and SO did those in
the woods. The robbers returned the
fire from repeating rifles, but did no
harm. They ran for cover, firing when
the pursuit became too close. A report
has been received that two of the rob
bers have been captured and one killed.
They are known to be farmers living in
the neighborhood of Missouri City.
kilograms to General Manager Hays
from Division Superintendent MCGEE say
that all of the would-be robbers have
been captured. Three of them were over
taken by the posse, and Barney Swee-
ney, the leader, who stopped the train
and received heavy load of shot i'm his
breast from the gun of the man con-
cealed in the engine cab, was found in
the woods, where he had crawled after
being wounded.
The plot was given away by one OF the
gang named King, who told Arnold,
the station agent at Missouri City. what
was going on. Arnold in turn
informed the sheriff, and the latter Of
ficer Immediately organized posse.
Arnold was one of the posse, and it was
he who shot the leader from the cab.
King remained with the men and sig
nailed the train to stop, but took no
other part in the affair. Sweeney is
said to be dangerously injured. He is a
well known character of the rough kind
and was charged with an attempt to
blackmail General Manager Talmage
two or three years ago.

A Variety In Products.


Among the recent shipments from.
this city TO New York have been large
quantities Of eggs. This In something
entirely novel, for instead OF shipping
eggs hitherto we have imported nearly
all we consumed. OF late, however,
there has been a large increase In the
production Of eggs in Louisiana, princi-
pally on the small farms worked by
white men i'm the southern portion OF
the State. New Orleans receives a much
larger quantity of "Creole" eggs to-day
than eyer,bcfore, Is less dependent on the
West, and can even ship eggs TO New
York. There are excellent opportunities
in this business, and with the encourage
uent received we hope TO see every
farmer in the State with poultry yard

products with his eggs and chickens.

The Pope will Not intervene.

ROME, January 19.-The Opinione says
it is not probable that the Pope seriously
intends to intervene in the settlement of
the Irish question in the interest of the
present British Government. If the
Duke of Norfolk really has an official
mission there is nothing to justify the
hope that it will he successful. The
Pope, it says, cannot go beyond advising
the Irish bishops to follow a policy of
prudence and moderation, the Irish
question being an economic and national
one and not of a religious nature. The
Opinione extols Gladstone's policy as the
one most likely to pacify Ireland.

The surveyors for the st. Augustine
and Atlantic Coast Railway passed the
head of the Halifax, or Bulow Bay, Sat
urday, the l4th inst. They crossed at
the mouth of the Tomoka River, to
Mount Oswal, then followed the Halifax
River, as near it as practicable. The
signs now point. 20 an early completion
of this road, and it will open up rich

Spring is upon us; trees of all kinds
are swelling their buds, and many citrus
trees are putting on a new growth.
Those that intend to bud the citrus
fruits this spring, and have not already
done SO, had better cut their budding
wood at once. We find the best way to
preserve it is to dig a trench about
eighteen inches deep, in sand near
where rain falls, hut not where it falls,
and bury it, after clipping the leaves
and long thorns off, and tieing up in
bundles and labelling. Also cut your
Japan persimmon CRAFTS and buds, and
treat in the same way. We believe in
putting out the bulk of our groves in
seedless and thornless varieties of the
orange. The day is not far distant when
oranges will be sold by name, the same
as apples; when an orange with from
twenty to forty seeds and the rag to en-
close them will be put as third class be-
side the vinuous ST. Michael, rich Jaffas
and the delicious navel. Does it not
take more of the strength of the soil to
produce the seed Of one seedy orange,
than it does to produce the whole of four
seedless oranges?
In other words: In raising seedy
oranges you are exhausting your soil to
produce something you do not want, and
that is a detriment to the fruit in every
way. When first came to Florida !
did not mind the seed, was glad to get
an orange of any kind; SO it is with our
customers of the North now, but when
they get educated up TO know the diff
ference between seedy and seedless they
will get as mad as l do, when they at
tempt to eat a bunch of seed, tied up in
a sweetened rag. Thems my senti-
ments, gentlemen. NUMBER NINE.

A Child's Error.
New York Star.

Er. George w. Childs says the differ
ence in the wages of labor between this
country and Europe Is owing to the
tariff.
What then makes the difference in
wages between New York and Philadel-
phia! There is no tariff to bring that
about. And yet all kinds Of labor are
higher here than in the City OF Broth
erly Love.
Take, for instance, the business Of
publishing a newspaper. Composition
and press work are 20 per cent. higher
in New York than in Philadelphia. Re-
porters here get 80 per cent. more than
there, while editorial writers receive
twice as much. The Ledger, for In
stance, the journal which has given Mr..
Childs his wealth and fame, does not, in
all probability. have an income sufficient
to provide for the payroll Of New York
daily OF the Ledger's size and standing.
and yet the Ledger yields a large profit
10 Philadelphia.
We think that little thought upon
the subject will convince the eminent
philanthropist that the tariff has about
as much effect on wages as 1t has on the
tides

WHOLESALE MURDER.
An Incident OF the Feud of the Hccoys and the
HatfeIds-


Hatheids.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, January 10
Information reaches here from Oceana,
Wyoming County, that another bloody
chapter in the McCoy-Hatfield feud was
enacted Saturday night last, in which
the lives of five McCoys We're sacrificed.
1t will be recalled that about the begin
ming of the new year the feud which had
been stilled for some months, broke out
again between the two families, in which
the Hatfelds were worsted. After the
funeral of the victims the Hatfields pro-
ceeded to annihilate the family of Ran
dali Mccoy. They surrounded his
house across the Kentucky line and
setting fire to it drove Mccoy
wife, son and daughter like
sheep into the shambles, to be ruthlessly
slaughtered. Randall Mccoy escaped to
Mccoy raid into West Virginia, recently
described, in which three of the Hatfield
party were killed in battle in the
woods. AL details that have yet been
received of Saturday nights massacre
are simply that the Hatfield gang made
raid on the house of Sim Mccoy, a
brother of Randall. The McCoys were
completely surprised. Mrs. Mccoy was
tied to a tree and shot to death. The
eldest son was next tied up and riddled
with bullets Sim Mccoy barricaded the
back room and made a brave defense of
IL. IA. va-.rS ,Cf IL L.
the Hatfields set fire to the house, and
Mccoy and his two youngest children
were burned to death.
