AN eastern financial paper recent
ly published the following: The most
important of the actual results so
far accomplished by the big crops is
seen in the general disposition of west
ern farmers to pay off their mortgages.
1t seems likely that there will this year
be more farm mortgages paid off than
have been in number of preceding
years together. The state of Kansas
keeps record, which is published
monthly, showing the statement of
mortgages released in the various coun-
ties Without exception the releases
show heavy increase over the amount
of new mortgages recorded. This will
be found to be true all through the
west.

THOMAS A. EDISON has perfected and
patented the ''sea telegraph" 1t is
system by which telegraphic commune
cation can be carried on between ships
at sea, between ships and the shore and
between distant points of land without
using wires. It is worked on the prin-
ciple of induction. Two vessels at sea
equipped with the proper instruments
can communicate with each other by
sending up captive balloons to height
sufficient to overcome the curvature Of
the earth and bring the balloons on a
level with each other. The telegraphic
circuit between the two ships is had by
means of the water and the air, the
molecules in the air being utilized to
complete the circuit, based on the con-
duct.vity of the water.

Eastman TimeS-JOuTndl: A terrible
story of highway robbery, coupled with the
crime OF assault with intent to murder,
comes from Lsurene county Hymen
Cohen and A Epstein, two young Jewish
peidlers, are the victims, and four negroes
are said to be the perpetrators. One of the
negroes, Frank Walker. is well known III
Eastman, having worked in the blacksmith
shops Of this place for perhaps six months
past. Tho Ttmes-JOuTndt has been unable
to learn the names OF the other three. It is
said, however, that oae them has been capt
ured, and is now in the Laurens county
jail The others are still at large.
Young Cohen and Epstein are
quiet and inofensive boys. They have
made Eastman their headquarters for some
time, and are we'll thought CT by all with
with whom they come in contact. They
were at Powell 81 Bizwell's turpentiEo
still last Saturday afternoon trading with
the hands, aud left there just at dark, IN
tending to 90 to the home John +. Curry
and spend the night. They had just crossed
q creek about one-half mile from the still
and entered into the dark swamp on the
other side, when young Cohen. who was in
the rear wagon, was suddenly knocked
senseless, aad IL less time than it takes TO
write it his coat and vest were literally torn
from his body. Epstein, hearing the noise,
leaped from his wagon aud ran back
to the assistance of his friend, when one of
the robbers mounted the wagon and putting
whip to the horse drove rapidly Off, and was
coon lost in the darkness. Cohen had about
$40 in his coat pocket, and the robbers got
this, together with his pack. He is badly
hurt, it is thought the blow on his head hav-
ing been made with a hatchst. 1t is said
that the wound is very ugly one. The re
port is that Epstein has recovered his horse
and wagon, but his pack, amounting to
perhaps $50 in value. was successfully car
ried off by the negroes.
