messengerJ II. Zimmerman and baggage
master Joe ketchum, were alone together
in the express and baggage car OF the Gin
cinnati, indianapolis. St Louis &, Chi
cago railroad train which is due here at
II o'clock. Zimmerman, when the train
left Delhi, station twelve miles west Of
here, called ketchum' attention 70 some
tramps that he saw through the glass
window Of the car door leading to the
front platform next To the locomotive
tender. Both men arose ana went toward
the front door. When within ten feet
Of it the tramps began firing through
the glass window. Ketchum fell. shot ia
four places, two balls entering his abdo-
men, one in his breast and one in the left
shoulder. zimmerman tired TO draw his
pistol but il 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 stin by
two blows from a monkey wrench The
engineer and fireman then rolled him

speed. Before ne WAS thrown overheard,

NO ENTHIIsIASM NAT ATLANTA.

ATLANTA, Ga, June S.-The enthusiasm
over the nominations made by the St.
Louis convention which it was expected
the people of Atlanta would show, has not
yet developed No popular demonstration
is proposed, and it is doubtful if there will
be ratification meeting until after the
delegates return. The most prominent
Democrats declare their dissatisfaction
with Thurman 1t is felt that he weakens
the ticket handicaps Cleveland and imper-
lis the chances of Democratic success. The
leading Republicans are jubilant. They
assert that the party couldn't have
selected weaker ticket. and they express
the utmost confidence in the triumph of
the Republicans The platform adopted
by the convention is harshly criticised. A
considerable majority of the people of At
lanta are protectionists. and they will give
the ticket and the platform a lukewarm
support.
This is what Ex-Governor Bullock says:
''The ticket is wooden; it is already dead;
its defeat is inevitable. )"

IMMIGRANTS AT CASTLE GARDEN


New YORK, June S-Four steamships
landed at Castle Garden today 2,s21 immi-
grants The steamship IniZiativa arrived
from Naples with a number of Italian
passengers, but was detained at quaran-
tine for an examination of her bill OF
health. The steamship City of Berlin, of
the Inman line, arrived off the lightship
at mid day, but cannot reach her dock in
time to land her passengers.
When the boarding officers of
the commissioners of immigra-
ton received from Captain Winkling the
list OF passengers of the steamship Cali
fornia, of the Americana Hamburg line,
from Hamburg, he found that the vessel,
which is not large one. had brought over
on her trip l,032 passengers. They were
principally Polish Hebrews and German
farm hands. He also learned from the
chief officer that at the time she left Ham
burg there were detained in the barracks
in that city over 5000 German and Polish
Hebrews, awaiting transportation to this
country and that smallpox had broken
out among them. The steamships bill
of health was good.

cents ser pound. In 1885 they aver
aged 1877 cents per pound. The aver
s.ge or4ign cost of sugar imported in
1884 was 361 cents. ghs average
foreign cost Of sugar impo ted in 1885
was e.67 cents per pound. This great
decline in price advanced the calcu-
lated ad valorem rate from 54 per cent.
in 1884 20 "a per cent. in 1885. and
these widely different rares enter into
the generalaverage duty on all dutiable
mports-although in law, and, in fact,
the duty was practically the same in
both years.
The hbsurdity OF the Treasury calcu
lations becomes even more glaripg
when submitted to practical tests. In
1885, according TO the Department,
sugar was paying "A per cent. duty,
and cost our people, duty paid, 4,64
cents per pound In 1884 il paid "a
per cent. duty, and cosE the people,
duty paid, 90 pr pound, or 30 per
cent. more when the duty, as calcu-
lated by the Department, was about
30 per cent. less. Now, bearing in
mtnd that sugar paid more than one
fourth of our customs duties during
these two years, some conception may
be formed Of the extent OF the error
which pervades all the estimates
of average ad valorem duties
which do not take into account the
fluctuations in the foreign cost OF such
dutiable articles as pay specific duties.
We repeat, therefore. that the Treasury
estimates Of the average ad valorem
rate Of duty on all dutiable imports
are absurd and worthless.
We have referred only to eugar TO
prove our assertion. but similar evil
dence might be afforded by various
other articlee which are subject to
specific duties. Nearly all of them
have declined in piice during recent
years, thereby increasing the es-
timated ad valorem duties, while, in
fact, as in the case Of sugar, the actual
duties have in many instances been
largely reduced. These increased per-
centsges have gone to swell the estI.
mated ad valorem rate on all dutiabie
imports. To what extent the esti-
mated average rate has been thus in
creased it 10 not possible to discover,
without going into long calculations
to show tho effect OF each article on
the total average. But taking
sugsr alone, and eliminating it's effects
from the total average for 1887,
we Fl ID that tho average is reduced
from AZ TO 40 per cent. Of four points,
which is equal to about 8 per cent,
and leaves che average Of The remain-
ing dutiahie articles for the year about
10 per cent. below the average for
1868 If other articles subjecr TO spe-
cihe duties-which we know have
BEEN in fact reduced-weFe likewise
eliminated, is would undoubtedly be
found that the average al vaiorem
rate on the remainder has declined
more than 90 per CENT. since 1868.

Hloquet has long been quite as active in

observer far more reasonable. When the

ceived 10i votes, leading the poll, and Sadi-
Carnot but 40; nevertheless the former
warmly supported his successful rival. His
apparent conservatism in opposition to
Boulanger Is comparatively new thing; for
at his entrance in public life he was ac-
counted rather radical, and in 1867, when the
car visited the Paris exposition and entered
the law courts In company with Napoleon
