EXPERIMENT STATIONS AT THE
WORLDS FAIR.
Practical Illustrations Being Pre-
pared for the Columbian
Exposition.


The exhibit of the agricultural ex-
pertinent stations of the United States
promises to be not one of the least in.
teresting features of the Chicago ex-
position. One portion of the proposed
exhibit, which will be likely to at
tract general attention, is an expert
ment station in operation, with it's
office, laboratories, etc, illustrating
how the indoor work of station
ID actually carried on. In another
portion of the exhibit each station
will present, by means of maps, dia.
grams, pictures, sets of publications,
ETC., full statement of it's location,
equipment, lines of work, etc, so that
the visitor can, if he desires, follow
out in detail the history and the work
OF and any particular station.
The main feature, however, will be
topical exhibit of the work of the
stations as a whole. In this Ii Is not
proposed to make q full showing of
the work of any single station, but to
make unified exhibit showing the
kind of work done by the stations,
the way in which they do 1t, and
some of the more Important results
which they have reached. The prepar-
alton of the exhibits In the hands Of
committee of the Association of
American Agricultural Colleges and
Experiment Stations cooperating
with the United States Department of
Agriculture. Assistant Secretary
Willis of the Department has taken
deep interest in the matter and has
promised substantial aid on the part
of the department to the stations In
making the exhibit.
At a meeting OF the Committee held
recently in Chicago the preparation
of the different departments of the
exhibit was assigned to the following
gen tlemen:
Experiment Station In Operation

The list of departments will give
some idea of the scope of the exhibit
and the variety of subjects covered by
the work of the stations. The Com
mittee has received promises OF CO.
operation from practically all the
stations, and the success of the under
taking seems to be well assured.

ROME LIT BY FIRE.

Hamilton's Warehouse and 5000
Bales of Cotton Burned.
{ ROME, GA, Dec. AT AIS o'clock this
afternoon the fire alarm rang. The greatest
and most disastrous fire ia the history Of
Rome followed. Three thousand bales OF
cotton are now in ashes, and the immense
warehouse of Hamilton g. Co. is reduced to
the came state. In less than ten minutes
from the sounding OF the alarm the fire was
past control. The firemen fought calamity,
but they were powerless to check the
flames. Only one thing saved everything
in the locality from bur ming, and that was
strong east wind. which blew the flames
in the direction Of the river. The total loss
is about 100000 The principal loss is to
Hamilton & Co., whose warehouse was
burned, together with the 5000 bales Of
cotton.
Hale, Davidson & Co. 3 loss will amount
to about $500 in wagons, buggies, etc.
The railroad trestle of the Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbus railroad bridge was
burned. 1t was with great difficulty that
tine land compauy's bridge was saved
Everything was we'll covered with insur-
ance
Hale. Davidson g. Co.'s are partially COW
ered by insurance.
This is the last and greatest of a series of
fires that have occurred recently, and the
people are alarmed.

LIZZIE aossErrs TRAGIC END.
Der Mother and Sisters Tell the Story
of the Killing

OF the Killing,
FORSYTH. GA, Dec. lat O'Clock this
morning court convened and the case of the
state VS.. David Thomas was again resumed.
Every available foot of SPACE in the court
house was taken. and all leaned forward 10
hear the facts that were being brought out
against Thomas. Thomas sat by his attor-
neys more deeply interested, perhaps, than
any one in the house. Mrs. Gassett, mother
of the unfortunate girl who was killed, took
the stand and gave an intelligent and full
account of the killing. She said the four
Thomas boys came to her house about sun
down on Oct. 9. aud took two mules away.
THE ASSAULT.
In few minutes they returned for the
one which was in Mr.. Gcssett's stable, Mr..
Gossett told them not to take the mules off.
At this juncture David Thomas remarked
that they had come for the mule and would
have it or kill everybody on the hill, and
turning to Mr.. Gossett said: 81 have long
waited an opportunity to kill you, you -
- rascal Immediately, thereafter, John
Thomas sprang on Mr. Gossett and knocked
him to the ground. Banai and Jabez Thomas
ran up and began knocking Mr.. Gossett
over the head. David then put his pistol
against Mr.. Gossett's head aud snapped it
twice.
THE DAUGHTERS TO TIE RESCUE.
Then Mr.. Gossett's two daughters, Ollie
and Lizzie. came to the rescue of their
father. David attempted to shoot Ollie and
his pistol failed to fire. He then hit Lizzie
over the head and knocked her TO the
| ground. When Lizzie arose she tried to
| pull John of her father and David, grab.
bling Mr.. Gossetts gun by the stock, he
| holding it by the muzzle. fired, killing Liz
| zie instantly. AS she fell she exclaimed:
"Ol papa, David has shot me. David has
killed me,n and expired. Immediately the
| Thomas boys left them with their dead,
| rendering no assistance The killing took
place in Mr.. Gossett's yard.
Misses Ollie and Jessie Gossett were next
| sworn, and corroborated their mother and
father in every respect.
| THE CRoss-ExAMINATIoN.
The defense made quite a lengthy cross
examination, but were unable to obtain
anything but damaging testimony for their
| client.
Some gentlemen were then introduced
who swore that they had been t)ld the
| Thomas boys had said they would make it
hard for any one who didn't swear their
way.
The state closed and the defense opened.
John, Banai and Jabez Thomas were
sworn. denying the statements made by the
! Gossetts. The fact that David, John and
| Banai Thomas were each much stouter than
old man Gossett will go against them.
Mrs Gossett. while testifying this morn
ing, was 30 overcome that she tainted aud
would have fallen had her husband not
caught her and assisted her to a seat.
The case will probably be concluded to-

Remarkable Results Follow a Trephin-

From the Pittsburo Post.
CINCINNATI, Nov. ga case that SUR
geons regard as most wonderful is being
widely discussed in medical and scientific
circles here. Last February the family
physician induced Charles SLOVENIAN Of
Newport, KY, to have the operation known
as trephining performed on his 5-year-old
daughter, who was born an idiot IA addi-
ton TO this mental affection, the child was
practically paraly zed throughout the entire
physical system. The other children of the
family were sound, except a 17-year-old
daughter, and ia her case. as in that of the
younger child, the mental deficiency was at :
tributed to a premature hardening of the
bones of the head, preventing brain growth.
About nine months ago, a wedge-shaped
piece Of bone was taken from the top of the
skull of the youngest child. Improvement
was almost Immediately noticed and to-day
the child can speak a number of words, has
learned her name, notices occurrences going
on around her, ana moves her head and
arms freely. Next week trephining will
again be resorted TO, aud the surgeons claim
that she will be as bright as the average
child. The older child will also be operated
on, as will two others, who are here from
distant state.

BUILDING UP THE NAVY.
CHIEFS OF BUREAUS MAKING THE
ANNUAL REPORTS.

Commodore Ramsay Devotes Con-
siderable Space TO the Naval Acads-
my-lmportsnt Changes in Reference
to the Institution Recommended
Recommendations OF the Chief of
the Bureau of Construction.
WASHINGTON, Dec. In his annual re-
port TO the Secretary Of the Navy Commo-
dore Ramsay, chief Of the bureau of navi-
cation, devotes much attention to the naval
academy. He says that large number of
candidates for admission TO the naval acad-
envy fail to pass the required mental exam
nation. 1t is believed that this Is chiefly
due 70 want Of proper instruction and time
for preparation. It Is therefore recon-
mended that the statutes be so amended that
appointments to the academy shall be made
one year in advance Of the time Of admis-
sion, as is now provided for appointments
to the military academy. Further changes
in the existing statutes relating to the naval
academy. so as TO conform to the laws gov
erning the military academy. are recon-
mended, the most important being the one
fixing the age for the admission of
cadets between IA and IS years of age, the
abandonment of the two years. cruise and
the dismissal of the surplus graduates i'm
mediately upon the completion of the four
enlisted force: "Under the system
Of enlistment for three years
the portion Of the force allowed
is not available for manning the fleet, it is
therefore recommended that the number Of
men of ell ratings allowed for the navy,
including apprentices and boys. be increased
to 10000, and that the term OF enlistment
for ha H., Al L. =
to four years"
THE BUREAU OF CONSTRUCTION.
Commodore Theodore Wilson, chief of
the bureau of construction. in his annual
report to the Secretary of the Navy, recon-
mends that the Galena. which was wrecked
on Gay Head and afterward recovered,
the tug Speedwell and the Intrepid be sold,
as they are useless to the government and
source of expense. OF the single turret
monitors now in the James river
the report says that they shonld be
repaired or sold. For a comparatively
moderate sum they can be made useful ad-
Juncts TO whatever other means the country
may possess OF repelling an enemy; their
shallow draught rendering them especially
adapted for service In the smaller harbors
OF our own coast which sea-going armored
vessels Of modern design caunot enter on
account of their draught and where, conse-
quently, they would only be exposed to the
attacks of unarmored cruisers.
THE OLD WOODEN NAVY.
Touching the old wooden navy the report
says: These vessels are rapidly disappear
ing from the active list of the service while
others are being utilized as trailing and
receiving ships, and still others are laid I'D
in the ordinary, having exceeded the 20 per
cent. limit allowed for the repairs of such
vessels. Only twelve are now available for
cruising purposes. and they, within five or
six years, will be mustered out of the SER
vice, as their repairs exceed the imitary
amount fixed for that purpose"
