is the nonchalancc with which the advanced

human weaknesses, including the emotions.

A Canal Engineer.
New York Letter.

Crawford Douglass, the working American en-
giueer, under whose efforts the Atlantic end Of
the Panama canal was actually completed four
teen miles in from Colon, has been in New
York for some months watching the course Of
canal affairs He is q g-boned, broad
headed man OF some 50 years, whose exper-
fence In public enterprises in the tropics
has been very extensive. He has been the
guest of De Lssseps in Paris repeatedly, and has
had accurate personal knowledge OF all the
steps which led the famous Isthmian ditch TO
bankruptcy. He has decided to return to Colon,
give up "mud-digging," as he calls it,
and return to journalism score and more of
years ago he was q writer on the Panama Star
AID Herald His arrival at the conclusion that
be had best return to his first love may be fairly
taken as an indication that ne considers the
Panama canal enterprise hopeless. II is inter
esting TO note, however, that the veteran who
knows more than anya other American about
canals, says the Warner Miller Nicaragua ditch
is even more hopeless than the Panama eheme,
because it will cost even moro to complete. But
have faith in the Nicaragua route and short
water communication between the Atlantic and
Pacific as one OF the commercial demands OF the
epoch.

His Fate.

MOUNT VERSoy, KY, March 6.-Yester-
day Emmett Snodgrsss, town marshal,
was shot and killed by his brother, Isaac
Snodgrass. The shooting was the result
Of Emmett having killed his brother,
Squire" Snodgrass, two years ago. At
that time Isaac sent word to Emmett
that he had killed his favorite brother
and requested him not to speak to him.
At Crab Orchard, some time last year.
the two first met Emmett drew his pis-
tol and attempted to shoot Isaac. but by
ISLANDERS interfered. Emmett then appar-
entity settled down to lead peaceful life.
and was elected town marshal of Mount
Vernon. Isaac had been in town num-
Der of times, but always avoided Emmett.
The latter a number OF times hunted him
up, threatening to kill him.
Last week Isaac was in town and En-
NETT met him and began as usual to abuse
him, when Isaac told him TO go away and
not bother him, saying: you killed one
Of our brothers, don't add another to the
list. l don't want to be killed or kill any
one."
Yesterday they met but bloodshed was
avoided by the interference of citizens.
Isaac went home. armed himself
with q double-barrelled shotgun and
started to William Cash's, neighbor.
Emmett left with the intention of going
to the same place. Cash's house is off the
main road. and the brothers met at the
turning off place. Isaac says when they
met that Emmett jerked out his pistol
and he raised his gun. Emmett fired one
shot, missing Isaac. The latter fired,
bringing Emmett and his horse to the
ground. Isaac fired again, killing Emmett.
Emmett Snodgrass in 1876 killed James
Bethurum Snodgrass. was acquitted for
this killing and left the state, going to
Joliet, ILL.,, where he killed a negro who
failed to get of the end of Snodgrass'
wagon when commanded. After return
ing to this country, his brother Squire"
built house on his own land and allowed
Emmett TO occupy it and cultivate the
land free of charge. They frequently
quarreled. One day in a quarrel En-
NETT went over 10 where Squire" was
living at his mothers, and when he met
him both began firing. Squire" fell at
the second shot. His mother rushed up
and placed "Squires" head upon her lap.
when Emmett remarked: Three out of
four is pretty good Workmanship, amt it
mother?" Emmett was arrested, but was
finally acquitted.
