AWFUL CRIME OF BOYS.
Kill Their Mother at PlaistoW, Eng.
Because She Had Whipped
One of Them.

London, July 19.-When the chief
steward of the National Line steamship
France, now on his way to New York
on board that vessel, reaches the United
States he will receive terrible news. His
sons, Robert Coombs, Ii years DID, and
Nathaniel Coombs, aged II, murdered
their mother at Plaistow, an eastern sub
urb of London, on July 8. The boys
stabbed her while she was asleep and
for nine days kept the body in the house
in which the crime was committed.
When the remains of the unfortunate
woman were discovered the two boys
were playing cards. The only reason
given by the lads for their crime is that
Mrs. Coombs whipped the youngest of
them.
The murder of Mrs. Coombs has caused
great excitement in the neighborhood Of
Plaistow and is attracting much atten-
ton on account of the horrible details
connected with it, The two boys were
brought up in court this afternoon and
told the whole story to the magistrate
who examined them. The Coombs are
wellto-do people who live in a new house
with a Well-keDt garden

MILLION IN GOLD SENT OUT.
New York Coffee Importers Make
a Big Shipment to
England.

New York, July 19.-W. Fl. Cross
man & Bros, coffee importers, have
ordered $1,OOO,0OO in gold from the sub
treasury for shipment to Europe on the
Etruria. which sails tomorrow. Ness
lage, Colgate & Co. will ship 100000
additional gold by the Etruria tomor-
row.
According to Messrs. Crossman, the
firm had reluctantly decided to ship the
gold. They had, they said, at the re-
quest of their bankers, deferred the re-
nittance for three weeks in the hope
that the rate for sterling exchange
might decline, but they could not wait
any longer. Messrs Crossman declined
fered exchange. or what they could save
by shipping gold. They declared that
the latter could not possibly be ascer-
tanned until the extent of the abrasion
of the gold they procured was learned.
The cost to them of laying the gold
down in London was less than it would
he to some people, because their bank
ing agents in London did not charge
them any commission for handling 1t.
Their agents in London received a COM
mission for accepting for them South
American drafts drawn on their ac-
count, and as the gold was RENTED to
cover those drafts the cost of handling
1t was considered as included IN the COM
mission. Some slight concession it is
said was offered to Messrs. Crossman
this morning by drawers of sterling ex-
change, but it was then too late, the
firm having already made all the ar
rangements for shipping the gold

Trees of Tennessee.

Mr. John NJ. Graham, a prominen-
ent citizen of Hickman County, VS.
tied the Office of Commissioner Gen
eral Wills Yesterday, and submitted
a plan in reference to the exhibit of
the timber OF Tennessee. Mr.. Ora
ham suggests that the timber for eX-
hlbit should be selected this year;
that wedge-shaped specimens be cut
from the cross sections of the tree,
leaving the bark on the outside,
These specimens should be about five
or six inches long and four inches
WIDE at one end and two at the other,
Two sides should be dressed, one to
be finished in oil and the other in
yarnisb, the other sides to be left just
as they came from the planer, show
ing the gram without finish. With
each piece can be shown the leaf and
fruit of the tree, which may be gath
cred next fall. A short description
of the tree from which the specimen
was taken, may be printed and at
tached to the specimen, giving the
size of the trees, quantity in the
county, and such other information
as may prove of interest. This will
give uniformity in size of the speci-
mems, and for all purposes will De
sufficient. Mr.. Graham claims that
OF the sixty-three varieties of timber
to be found in Tennessee, about fifty
five are indigenous to Hickman
County. He reports the interest
in the Centennial in Hickman
County as rapidly growing, and that
the management may expect a good
exhibition from that county.
