THE STATE.
Agricultural College Affairs.

LANSING, Dec 12.-President Clute, who
in May last succeeded President Willis,
who had resigned the previous month, has
submitted his first annual report to the
state board OF agriculture. He pays high
tribute TO the worth of his predecessor,
and speaks highly of his assistants. He
finds that the new horticultural laboratory,
completed in March last, proves we'll
adapted for the purpose for which 1t was
built. The new propagating house is APP
preaching completion, and promises to be
satisfactory. 1t will be OF great service TO
the professor in charge in teaching, and TO
ithe practical work OF the gardens. IL will
be ready for use in the spring. He recon-
;mends winter work in the laboratory, be-
cause IL can be pursued without Interrupt
ton. He calls attention to the fact that
the college exhibit, both at the state fair
aud the Detroit exposition. attracted much
attention and excited surprise by its excel
lence
The college is greatly indebted to Seua-
tor James Mcmillan of Detroit, for the
most generous gift of large collection OF
butterflies and OF beatles The butterflies
include 5000 species and L., 900 specimens.
The beatles include 5000 species and 40, OOJ
specimens. This gift is more fully descr. o.
ed in the report of Prof Cook, through
whose interest in his department the gift
was inspired. 1t is hoped that this kindly
act of Senator Mcmillan Is but forcrun-

and daughters of Michigan, who would
like TO have her state agricultural school
thoroughly equipped in every respect. Our
college has now q valuable beginning in
museum, cabinets and library. And yet
those who use these most, that is the pro-
fessors in different departments and the
special students, find them by no means
complete. We could use much fuller col
lections with great profit TO our students
and TO the general public.
The most pressing need is books for the
library in the departments of history, biog
raphy, travel, literature and philosophy,
and he asks If there are no wealthy men in
Michigan who would be glad TO supply this
need.
President Clute calls especial attention
to the great Importance of the veterinary
department; the necessity of greater care
in the breeding of domestic animals, and
declares that the veterinary course is TO
furnish a complete training that will tit the
graduates Of the course for the practice OF
veterinary, medicine ond surgery.

A Careless brakeman.

DUBUQUE, IA, Dec. 1.-TWO freight
trains came together head on yesterday
near Durango, a little station on the Chi
cago, ST. Paul Il Kansas City road. Con-
ductor Berry of ST. Paul, and Fireman
John Hickey Of this city were instantly
killed. Conductor Berry was literally
ground to pieces. Ten car loads of freight
in transit were scattered along the tracks.
One freight had orders TO wait at Durango
for the other TO pass. Three of the four
sections into which the latter was divided
went by in safety. The fourth was sup
posed TO be some distance away. The
waiting train was standing just beyond a
sharp curve. Brakeman Hall, assigned 10
flag the approaching train, failed in his
duty. An awful collision was the result.

Mistakes In Marrying.

may say here that think marriage
Is OF all human institutions the best, il
you marry the right person. says Mrs
Crawford. II you don't, it's school
for patience, the most valuable of all
the virtues. We both agreed that two
persons OF irritable nerves or hyper
sensitive dispositions should not unite
in matrimony. Dickens was one OF
the best fellows, Wilkie Collins said,
that ever lived, and a very cheerful
worker He was bright and genial in
his home circle. But he had nerves,
often on edge, and Mrs. Dickens was
sensitive and mistrustful OF herself.
This made her low-spirited just at
times when flow of good humor wa 8
wanted to soothe him. He wine ed,
and she shed tears, and so the disso lu-
tion of partnership came about She
was good little woman, but she did
not develop mentally along with
Dickens, who married her when he
was very young, and hardly knew his
own mind.

He Still Lives.

A Nebraska subscriber writes to In
quire il there is another weekly pub
lished in this burg. There is. We
have a chattel mortgage on every
thing but the red-headed, cross-eyed,
lop-shouldered coyote who edits it, and
can close him up at any minute; but
we let him run on in order to keep him
off the town. We rather like his au-
dacity as we'll. He prints $50 copies,
none of which can be read on account
OF tho poor press-work. and yet he
claims the largest circulation in the
known world. He knows we own the
very chair he sits in, but yet he de-
votes four CO umns each week to abus-
ing us personally.
Yes, he still lives, poor old unfortu-
nate. But we are going to give him
rope for the winter. II he was bounced
out he might have to run for the leg

srRANoLED TO DEATH.
Terrible Manner In Which the Four
New York MuIdeIcrs Paid tho Pen
atty.

NEW YORK. Aug. 90.
At 6 So this morning the four condemned
murderers, Packenham, Nolan, Lewis and
Carolin, were executed in the lambs. Pxken-
ham and Nolan were swung of at 56 on the
Franklin street side, and Lewis and Carolin
on the Leonard street side at 1903. All the
murderers were strangled but the deaths OF
Packenham and Nolan were comparatively
painless.
OF the deaths of Caroin and Lewis. il
must be acknowledged that il was the most
shocking spectacle ever seen within the
ttmbs. Lewis was firm to the end, but
Carolin was pale As death, glared at the
priests, blssphemed horribly and shrieked
out declarations of innocence.
The words were scarcely out of his mouth
before Atkinson had clapped the black cap
over the murderer's face. The assistant
hangman covered Lewis face at the same
moment. Atkinson gave the signal AMI the
weight fell.
Instead of b unding up as Packenham and
Nolan had done, the miserable wretches
went into the sir with so little force that there
was scarcely any rebound at all. Lewis
then begun t. struggle in a most sickening
manner and brgan to gnrgie and choke. A
rasplng, whe. z'ng sound came from under
the horrible black cap for fully ten seconds.
His body turned and swayed and the contor-
tions were so painful that half dozen men
turned away their heads. The poor creature
was finally strangled. Caroin's body was
also violently con,orted, but he uttered no
sound. The weight fell at : 03, and at I. 10
both men were dead.

Unavoidably the actual and corrected
time of the regatta at Cobbosscecontee lake,
Thursday. was left out in our issue of yes
terdsy, and while the time Of starting and
finish was given it left the reader to figure
out the actual time made, which has caused
some difference in opinion as to the relative
speed of the different yachts. The statement
that the Josephine. owned by Mr.. Robert
son. outsailed the Anna s., owned BY C. c.
Hunt, should have been just opposite. 1t
was the Josephine that was outsailed by the
Anna s., the corrected time for the Anna s.
being nearly seventeen minutes over the
Josephine. People who know yachting
know the difficulty in catching in an instant

that it was by far the best regatta ever held
