Mount Peasants Murderer Meets
Death Fearle ssly.
CHARLESTON. S. c., Dec. 19.-Adam Mon
gin, negro. about 30 years old, was hanged
to-day at Mount Pleasant for the murder
of another negro, named jackson, in Berkeley
county last May.
Mongin met his death very calmly, saying
he was going straight to heaven. There
was not much of TODD around the gal
lows. He came out enveloped in STROUD,
and when the moose was adjusted began to
sing, ''On Zion's bright and 6owery
mount" The preparations we're in the
meantime completed, and he was told to bid
good-by to the colored fninister. which he
did. His neck was broken, aud he died
almost instantly. He had no relatives but
an aged father. who took his body. Mon
gin shot his victim in the back, but claimed
that it was self-defense, on the ground that
Jackson had pistol when he shot him. No
pistol was found. Mongin was defended by
the ablest colored lawyer in the state.

Federal Officials Think He is the

ATLANTA, GA, Dec. ia month or
more ago Caleb Goggins was found guilty
of the murder of Joseph Wright at Marietta,
under circumstances which created the
suspicion that he had fallen the victim of a
plot. Both Wright and Goggins were i'm
portant witnesses against certain operators
Of blind tigers at Marietta, against whom
indictments had been found in the federal
courts. Pending the trial Of these cases,
Wright, on vensuring home, was murdered,
and the blind tiger men fastened the crime
on Goggins. thus getting both witnesses
against them out Of the way.

TwITTY's BILL sHELVED,
The Farmers VIII Talk 1t Over al

The Farmers VIII Talk 1t over at
Home During the Recess.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. l9.-f the Twitty
bill menaces the interests of the farmers as
seriously as it's enemies insist, the chances
now are great that it will never become a
law. Some of its strongest supporters APP
pear to have lost confidence in it, and one
of them to-day had it permanently tabled,
with the understanding that it should
come up for consideration no more this
winter. During the recess the al
lance senator's will confer with their
constituents, and if its dement's be so con-
spicuous this elaboration should result in its
withdrawal or defeat The evil which Mr.
Twitty has undertaken to correct is one
which appeals to the farmerwith tremendous
force That he should jump at anything
offering the prospect of relief without max
ing very rigid examination to ascertain
whether he ran the risk of burning his fin
gers was to be expected.
REvuLsIoN OF FEELING.
But a revulsion has taken place, and,
warned by the constant protests of business
men against the measure, he has decided TO
examine the novel affair lit lie more crit
ically before embracing it. The impression
is gaining ground among the formers
friends that no has been on the point of
taking buzz saw to his bosom. A peculiar
feature of the history OF the bill in
the legislature is that the
lawyers Of the assembly, who opposed it
with such earnsstnoss in public, have in
private declared ell along that personally
and professionally they wished for nothing
more than TO see 1t pass. BE that as it
may, their oppos tion proved potent factor
in securing its passage at first Many
farmer legislators who felt in doubt voted
for the bill apparently on no other grounds.

FATE OF The COLLEGES.
The Fight Between the Two Houses
Now On in Earnest.

ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 19.-The fight be-
tween the houses on the branch college
question began in earnest lste this after
noon, when the appropriations bill was re-
turned to the Senate, with several amend
ments proposed by that body. rejected,
among them the clause reviving the col
leges. MIR. Ellington moved that the Senate
recede, while Mr.. Terrell offered as a sub
stltute that it insist on its amend
ment. To get rid of the imme-
diate settlement of the question the
senators took recourse in adjournment A
majority were clearly with Mr.. Terrell. but
the longing for Immediate adjournment
seems extremely dangerous to the colleges,
as the weaker members will be tempted to
abandon their cause rather than incur the
necessity for committees on conference and
the attendant delay. If the institutions are
to die they will probably be slaughtered
tomorrow. The amendment providing
that the expenses of yearly visits permitted
patients of the deaf aud dumb asylum come
out of the Sl7, 900 appropriated for support
of that institution, was also rejected by the
House, and the Senate has receded.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Dec. 19-At 10
O'Clock tonight Policeman Musgrove, a
popular officer, was shot and killed in a
saloon in this city by negro whom he was
about to arrest for stealing. The negro
made his escape, but is followed by
a large number of determined men,

tured. The officer read the warrant and
was about to put his bands on the negro,
when he stepped back, pulled a pistol and
began firing. The policeman was unpre-
pared for the attack, but managed to get
his revolver, and fired twice wildly. He
then fell and died in twenty minutes.

al the Prisoners lnpilC6Iod Dy tne
Confessions Already Made.
MACON, GA, Dec 19-The confessions Of
two more conspiratOrs were brought out in
the Forsyth murder conspiracy trial In the
federal court here to-day. Great interest is
shown IN the case, and the court room is
crowded. The thrilling confessions were
listened TO with an intensity seldom
seen in a court room. Certainly the
incidents of the last few days warrant this
and continued interest. There is a strain
between the judge and counsel, after the
difference Of yesterday, that Is particularly
marked. Judge Spesr. however, treats the
counsel on botn sides with equal Difference,
and is firm in all his rulings. AS ono Of the
LAWYERS expressed it to-day, however, there
IS danger of exploding volcano at every
step.
MOoRE's CONFESSION.
The confession of Moore duplicates every
one of the prisoners with the exception OF
Hall, and Is very damaging as corroborating
Burch. Strenuous efforts were made by
the defense to impeach Witness Bohannon,
who testified to Moore's statements made to
him under the impression that the witness
knew everything. The confession OF
Clements TO Mr.. Erwin, the district at
torney, is very sensational. 1t duplicates
all the prisoners ard Luther A. Hall as
the prime mover. He infinitely describes
the murder Of Capt. Forsythe and the con-
spirators' escape. He saved himself in every
possible way by the statement that he was
drawn into it first. aud then threatened
with death at once if he did no: help carry
out the plans Of the conspirators. His con-
fession will be finished tomorrow.
Bohannon, the witness who was on the
stand to-day, and who was the first to re-
veal the plot, says that he is in hourly fear
of his life, and has received a number of
threatening letters since the trial COM

DESERVING the Farms.

The census returns for the County Of
Grant, Indiana, which lies midway be-
tween Indianapolis and Fort Wayne,
exhibit gain of 1887 in ten years But
closer inspection shows that G, 469 of this
is in two towns, while six rural town
ships have fallen off. One of them has
just the number of people it had twenty
years ago. The productiveness of the
farm lands has doubled, and their value
has trebled, but the number of people
living on them has diminished.
The editor of the principal paper in
the county says that the amount of
money spent since 1880 in improvements,
such as tile drains and turnpikes, has
exceeded all the expenditures of prior
years, and that during the last twenty
years 100000 acres of land have been re-
duced to cultivation. In spite of these
things the number of farmers does not
increase, and the farm holdings tend to
become larger. Says the editor: Now
there are scores of farmers who each
own section and more of highly
cultivated land, which formerly sup
ported colony, but is now farmed by a
single family with hired help. Improved
farm machinery, stumpless fields and
better drainage, railroads and convent
,ence of markets, reduce expenses and
increase production. The ambitious
farmer of small means emigrates to some
Western State where land is cheaper
1t is said that there is a Grant County
farmer in every county in Kansas.
That is, as the amount Of capital
which a man must have to run an In
diana farm increases, the man with small
means must go West. The man with
the big farm who has the capital to i'm
prove it to the uttermost also swallows
up in time the small farm adjoining his,
unless city is so near that the owner of
the smaller parcel can take to truck rails
| ing and thus save himself.
/ This same decrease in The number of
farms is also apparent in some of the
| Ohio counties. 1t is marked in Hamil-
ton, where the falling off is 776, but that
