A Watermelon Tragedy.

A dispatch from New Albany, Indiana
says: bloody shooting affrsy occurred in
remote part of Crawford county, about
forty-fve miles southwest Of here, Tues
day 1t is wild, thinly settled locality, fifteen
miles away from railroad. Saul Snyder had
melon patch on his farm, and last Friday
night unknown persons entered the patch and
carried away or destroyed nearly his en-
tire melon crop. Saul suspected that the
crime had been committed by j. W. Faulken-
burg, George Faullienburg and Jake and Henry
EnlOw, and commenced prosecution. The
warrant for the arrest Of the Faulkenburgs
and Elbows placed in the hands Of con-
stable named John Snyder, brother Of the
man whose melon patch had been despoilsd.
Tuesday he went to arrest the parties.
J. W. Faulksnburg crossed over the Perry
county line into Crawford county, and when
Constable Snyder found and served the war
rant on him, he agreed toanswer the summons.
Just then the two Elbows came up and Con-
stable Snyder commenced reading the warrant
to them. Snyders brother Saul was with
him. The Elbows opened fire on the constable,
shooting him fatally through the abdomen.
They then turned upon Saul Snyder, shooting
him through the right lung, inhicting fatal
wound. The Elbows fed to the hills, among
which are q number of caves. They have a bad
reputation and will be lynehed when caught.

PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH.
Farmers Less in Debt Than at Any Time
Since the War.

The Baltimore Manufactures Record Of this
week publishes six pages of special letters from
leading bankers in all parts of the south as to
the financial condition and prospects Of gen.
eral business and farming interests. These re-
ports uniformly show that Immediately after
the Barring failure southern merchants and
bankers pursued very conservative policy.
and at once commenced to curtail all their
operations and to make preparations for a
long period OF monetary stringency if it should
come. The effect of this. while lessening the
volume Of trade, has been the reduction Of in
debtedness and the placing Of all business and
banking interests on very solid financial
basis 1t also resulted in the borrowing OF less
advance money by cotton planters than for
many years, and hence the present
crop has less indebtedness against it
than the crops of former years. In
all parts of the south farmers are reported as
less Ill debt than for years, many reports saying
thattheir Indebtedness is smaller than at any
time since the war. due in par. to the enforced
economy on account of the monetary strin-
gency since last fall and in part to the large
crops Of the last few years. The low price OF
cotton in the spring caused the planters to paw
more attention to raising their own food sup
plies. and the south will probably be less de-
pendent upon other sections for corn and
wheat than ever before. 1t is estima ted that the
grain crops OF the south this year will aggregate
nearly 100. 100000 bushels more than in 1890
and this added to the large yields of fruits and
vegetables will keep at home at least S75 600 600
that last year went north and west for food
stuffs. his will fully offset the low price of
cotton. and if cotton should advance would be
clear gain to southern farming interests. The
yields OF wheat, rye. rice and tobacco promise
to exceed the crops Of 1880 and to add largely
to the general prosperity of the south The
bankers in all sections Of the south report
that with business on solid basis. with
less Indebtedness on the part of the farmers
and merchants than for many years and with
good crops assured, the prospects for fall and
winter have never been more favorable A
period of great activity in solid substantial de-
velopment is universally predicted.
