KILLED BY HIS FATEER-IN-LAw.-
At the little village of James City,
Madison county, on Thursday night
VIM. Davis shot and killed his son-in-
law, Thomas Harlow. 1t appears that
Davis is a nan of bibulous habits and
lived with Harlow. In the course of a
conversation he threatened to shoot his
daughter, Mrs. Harlow. Harlow inter-
ferred, whereupon Davis remarked
"You don't think I'll shoot, do you ~
and Immediately shot Harlow through
the right eye with his pistol, killing
him instantly. Davis was at nj ar
rested and lodged in the Madison coun-
ty Jail. Another account says that Da-
Wis was in the act of whipping his
daughter when her..husbaud interfered
when Davis shot him. Mr.. Davis was
for some years q resident of this city
and but comparatively recently remov-
ed to Madison. At one time he was
the sexton of the NJ. Z. Church South,
and later was sexton at one of the Gem
e%teries.

Dakota,s Great wheat8e,a..

A large party of foreign agricultural
commissioners to the Worlds fair, un-
der the escort of Governor Shortridge OF
North Dakota, saw some harvesting
operations in that great wheat country
a few days ago which must have opened
their eyes, accustomed as they are to the
small acreages of Europe. Driving
through a vast wheatfeld bounded only
by the horizon, they behe1d as many as
43 Irvine binders moving in a steady pro-
cession half q mile long and cutting
great swaths of grain.
They were told by the owner Of this
farm that in harvesting time he cut a
square mile Of grain in a day and em.
ployed so men to shock it up. At noon
the visitors sat down to aprairie chicken
dinner on a mammoth scale, which ex.
cited their surprise almost as much rs
the prairie acres on which they gazed.
Afterward they visited the famous
Dalrymple farm, covering "a 900 acres OF
ground, and saw numerous thrashiRg
machines making their inroads into the
stacks of wheat which it required 1SC
Irvine binders from two to three weeks
to cut.-New York Post.

A Just but Lenient Judge.

An unusual incident occurred in the
city court at Savannah a few days
ago. Judge Mcdonnell was tardy in
putting in an appearance, for which he
fined himself $40 and then promptly re-
mitted the fine. His honor went to see
his physician to have his arm, which he
recently injured, dressed, and the doctor
kept him a little longer than he had
counted on When he entered the
courtroom, the hands on the clock above
the judges desk pointed to just 10 min
utes past 10.
Judge Mcdonnell took note of the fact
and said; SIN accordance with the rules
of this court every officer who comes In
late is subject to a fine. The clerk will,
therefore, enter a fine of $40 against the
court for hardness, to be paid into the
registry Of the court. Owing to the
fact, however, that this is the first time
this thing has happened, and also that
the court had to be detained in order to
have its arm dressed, the clerk will re-
init the fine. Baltimore Sun.

TARIFF ON WHITE METAr.
This IL the Latest scheme OF the Me-
From Silver States.

This Is the Latest scheme OF the Men
From Silver States.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Those who
have observed the difficulty Of keeping
the silver question in the background
will not be surprised to learn that this
subject Is destined to assert its right to a
hearing in connection with the tariff. II
will come in the shape of a proposition
to put a duty upon silver importations,
not in the house, but in the senate, if the
plans of those who have the matter in
hand do not m~iscarry. The effort to
secure this innovation will be
made in connection with the
metal schedule, and it will be
coupled with the item concerning lead
and silver ores. The purpose Of this
movement is twofold. 1t may prepare
the way for the free coinage of the
American product of silver, about which
80 much has been heard in recent years,
and it is expected to prevent the coun
terfeiting of the American dollar in
other countries, and the sending of the
counterfeit coins to the United States.
