Gone Fishing.

WAsHINGToN, D. C., August 2S.- The President and Mir. Lamont, ac- companied by Internal Revenue Com missioner Miller, left Washington last night on fishing excursion of two or three days in the vicinity of Clifton Forge, in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
 Clifton Forge is at the head waters of the James River. and is well-up on the Allegheney Mountains beyond Lexington. The President has de- clined the invitation to attend the Grangers' meeting at Williams Grove, Pa, because he feels the necessity for rest. He has been confined closely to his desk and official duties for many months, and does not expect to be able to get any recreation except as he clears off his desk in advance of Con gress and takes a day or two at a time, as he will do now. He had hoped to be able to get into the North Woods for fortnight, but as Congress fingers and promises to stay until after the cleo ton, he has about concluded to make the best of the situation and to get his vacation piecemeal as he finds oppor- tunity to get it without neglecting business. He has sent letter to the Changers meeting.

Slain by His Enemy.

BEEvILLE, TEX, September B. Particulars have been received of a killing at Oakyille, Live Oak County, on Thursday last. John Wilson a noted character, was slain by Charles Rice. The trouble grew out of an old feud. Rice claims that Wilson had time and again threatened his life. On the day of the killing Rice stationed himself in Winners $ store armed with a shotgun. Wilson not knowing that he was in town, was walking leisurely along the street, conyersing with some one, and as he approached the store Rice presented his gun. Wilson's com. panion lodged to one side having dis covered their peril, and as Wilson turned his head to see what was up, Rice fired the fatal shot, riddling the back of his head and neck with buck shot. Wilson expired in few minutes, remaining unconscious all the while. From all accounts the difficulty was not unexpected as Wilson was man known to always carry out his word. He has killed three men, all buried in Oakville. He was true to his friends, but brave and determined to fault, a man having imaginary insults thrust upon him. He leaves wife and three children

Anderson Gratz, of St. Louis, Before the
 House Committee on Manufactures.
 WAsAINGToN. Aug. 3l.-The House Committee on Manufactures inyesti- gating the subject of trusts to-day be- gan an inquiry into the alleged cotton tagging combine. Anderson Gratz, of St. Louis, member of the bagging and cotton tie firm of Warren, Jones X GratZ, having large branch manu- factory at Muncie, Ind, testified that there are now but eight firms in the country engaged in the manufacture of cotton bagging and ties. against fifteen at this time last year. The output of cotton bagglng in 1887 was about 45,- GOO, coo yards, and the variation in the prices of two-pound tagging was from l0i cents in 1887 to llf cents in 1880 and 7t cents in 1887. He said that the cotton crop of this year would require about A., ,50O,0C0 yards of hagglng, and it was expected that the total output of all the American mills would be over 50,000. 900 yards. There were, lie said, considerable quantities of cotton bagging coming to this country, but he did not think the foreign mills would he able to bring sufficient to this coun- try this year to prevent the sale of that held here, as contractors abroad have their hands full.
 WILMINGToN, \. C., Aug. 31.-A bale of cotton has been received here covered with pine straw bagging manufactured by a manufacturing company of this city. It attracted great attention. It passed all tests satisfactorily, including that of com press, and it is believed will answer all the purposes of jute bagging at much lower prices.
