THE ELECTRIC SUGAR FRAUDS.
They are Captured in Milan, Michi.
gan, and Gagged.

g&m, ana CaRe0s
ANN ARBoR, Mich, February 17.-All
the parties interested in the Electric
Sugar Refining company frauds were ar.
rested at Milan last night, the Sheriff
returning to this city about midnight
with Mrs. Olive E. Friend, VIM. E.
Howard, Emily Howard and George
Halstead and placing them in the
County Jail, where they are confined.
They were arrested for obtaining money
under false pretenses, three in
dictments having been found against
them by the Grand Jury of New York last
January. One is issued for fraud against
the Sugar Company and two on com.
plant of Lawson N. Fuller, of New
York. On these indictments acquisitions
were made on the Governor of Michigan,
who issued warrants for their arrest on
February LIST. The trouble has been to
get all the parties within the State at the
same time. Mrs. Friend was in conceal
ment and Howard was at Windsor.
Yesterday morning they returned to
Milan, feeling sure that no criminal &C.
tion was to be brought, but they we're
arrested as above stated. As it was late,
no bail could be obtained and they re-
mained in Jail. Howard threatened
when they got to New York there would
be senation greater than ever stirred
that city.

TIE FRENCH CABINET.
Difficulty Found BY Mellne I'm Set
ting Men To Join Him.

PARIS, February 17.-Meline is e1-
periencing great difficulty in forming q
Cabinet. Waldrek, Rousseau and other
prominent men have refused to join it..
Freycinet prefers the war portfolio, but,
on the persuasion OF President Carnot,
has given q half promise to accept the
foreign portfolio. Rouvier takes the
interior portfolio. Other portfolios are
arranged, but the list is not like ~ to be
settled until tomorrow. Senator Ernest
Boulanger is mentioned as Minister of
Finance.
The sonly positive adhesions which
Meline has received are those of Rouvier
for the Ministry of the Interior, Perrier
for the Ministry of Education, and Dou-
fresne for the Ministry of Public Works
and Commerce. 1t is hoped that Gem
eral Billot will take the war portfolio and
Ribot some other, but both the Oppor-
tunists and Radicals are refusing to join
in anticipation of a short life for the new
cabinet.
A Radical manifesto has been issued.
It is mainly devoted to the denunciation
of General Boulanger, who, it says, did
not hesitate to oppose his own programme
of revision in order to overthrow the Re-
publican Ministry. The manifesto then
says the Boulangists are not afraid to par
alyze business and menace the success
of the exhibition, by placing their hatred
of Republicans and their personal ambi-
ton above the highest interests of the
country.

The Socialists Make Trouble.

New York, February 1.-THE Central
Labor Union meeting to-day adjourned,
soon after convening, in the midst of row
which threatened many bloody heads.
The Socialists formed in body in the
hall in response to call that all should
leave who desired to organize union.
A delegate in the rear of the hall got into
fight and received bruised face. He
ran forward to the platform covered with
blood. This enraged the members of
the opposing faction and the Socialists
barred their arms to meet the expected
battle. Some blows were exchanged and
Jablinowski sprang from the platform
and declared the meeting adjourned.

A Whole Family Wiped Out

TEoUMsEH, Mich, February IA
shocking tragedy occurred in this village
last night, by which whole family was
wiped out of existence. Frank l.. Sill
vers, well known horse-breeder, shot
his wife and two daughters, Edith and
Ada, aged II and years respectively,
and then ended the awful act by shooting
himself. The bodies were found this
morning by neighbor, who, noticing
that the curtains we're down, and failing
to aronse anyone; forcad open the doors.
In the pailor lay the body OF Mrs. Sill
vers, fully dressed. The bodies of the
children we're found in bedroom up.
stairs, and in the sans room on the fl Dor
lay Silvers, weltering in blood and still
breathing. Every one of the victims
had been shot through the temple, and
with the exception of Silvers himself,
their death was probably instantaneous.
He is still alive, but unconscious, and
cannot recover. No cause is known for
the deed. Silyers was apparently in
prosperous circumstances, and his rela-
tions with his family we're pleasant.

BELLE STARR,S DIARY.
1t Makes Startling Disclosures III
garding Crime i'm Texas.

ST. LOUIS, February l7.-Advices from
Indian Territory say that the journal, or
diary, Of Belle Starr. the noted female
bandit, has been obtained from the Starr
ranch. Belle intended to publish it as
an autobiography. The matter con-
tanned therein is replete with thrilling
incidents and personal adventures, but
the most remarkable features of all are
certain disclosures concerning crimes in
Texas and Indian Territory, which tend
to prove that innocent men have been
sentenced on various occasions. 1t is
also matter of curiosity that the names
of prominent persons are connected with
certain crimes that have been committed
in recent years. Some sketches in the
journal are lively and humorous.

THE GARDEN,


NEVER wet the hair if you have any
tendency to deafness; wearan oiled-silk
cap when bathing, and refrain from div
ing.
THOSE who have tried the Keller pear
report that if the fruit is allowed to
thoroughly ripen and mellow up after
being harvested it is second only to the
Bartlett. For canning it has no su-
perior.
HE best gardeners say that the por-
Gus common pots are not SO good for
house plants as those glazed or painted
outside. The reason is that evaporation
is constant from the porous pots, and
the roots are not only drier but colder
for it,
The earliest made. cider is soonest
changed to vinegar. Warm weather
favors fern entation, and the air thus
introduced into the cider supplies the
oxygen that furnishes the acid. To
hasten the process the barrel should be
tapped daily and a portion alternately
removed and filtered into it again
through straw or shavings. This ex-
poses much greater surface to the air.
ANOTHER method of warding off grape
rot has been given by Prof Hawn, of
the Leavenworth (Kan.) horticultural
Society, who says: Il cut the vine down
to the ground after fruiting, and the
new canes of the subsequent growth
produce the next fruit. The system
tides the grape over until the rot period
has passed. The number of canes left
depends upon the strength of the root.
Leave only two clusters on each lateral.
The vines must be healthy and the fruit
pushed to early maturity"

Some Mexican Superstitions.

It is believed that the murderer who
has slain his victim with sword or dag
ger will escape if the body falls upon
it's side or back; but if the body falls
face downward, then the murderer
surely soon will be captured and put
to DEATH This belief is said to be so
firmly rooted among the people of
Northeastern Mexico, that when muir
dered man falls upon his face his slay-
er makes no effort to escape, and even
sometimes voluntarily surrenders him
self to justice.
IF bride, while dressing for her
wedding, is pricked by pin so that

THE DAIRY,
Use a Brush.

The following from Mirror and
Farmer we agree with in the main. For
our own COWS we use a comb that has a
stiff strip of rubber similar to those in
window and floor cleaners, fastened
upon the back; this and good stiff
brush makes handy kit, and the COWS
enjoy their morning toilet as much as
animals of a higher order.
There is q great amount of cruelty
practiced on cattle by the use Of wire
cards. In too many cases the cattle are
neglected at first when they come to the
barn plump and smooth. But when
chat or other irritants cause them to
lap the hair till it leans the wrong way,
and they begin to look dry and rough,
the card is applied, with no regard to
the feelings Of the animals, and on the
legs and belly, where q little filth ad-
heres, the card is used to dig it off. and
kicks and curses follow the exhibition
of pain. And when young cattle get
thin, as they are apt to before spring on
many farms, and vermin begin to breed
and the bones are prominent, more
carding is applied and more pain is
inflicted. In this way young cattle and
colts are made SO nervous and restless
that they dread the approach of man
as long as they live. A good stiff brush
is the best for the hair and to clean the
skin, and wire curTycomb, without,
teeth, is sufficient to clean off everything
that sticks to the hair, if it is used often
enough.
