A Fatal Recognition.

beside the fire, fattering himself that

Scarcely. however, had he fallen &c

She trenlbled, now. with eager and
glad anticipation, and not with fear.
In her excitement now even Barring
ton was forgotten; his most strange
and unaccounted-for absence, had ceas-
ell to be a terror to her.
Having descended. Emmeline with
some difficulty forced back the rusty
bolts OF the door which opened into
the back yard.
This yard, which had eveideDtly been
intended for, and had no doubt. at
some time or other, been formed into
a garden, was enclosed by low walls.
which were now half In ruins, and
with here and there gaps In them OF
which Mr.. Nicksey had more than
once availed himself when his house
had been beset, and a necessity had
arisen for his escape. II he had no
wish to run the risk of being hanged.
This back yard was the width only
Of the house. but It's length was some

covered since she had to proceed TO its

A portion only Of the frame-w work
OF what had once been a sort of garden
shed remained, and small patches only
of its matched roof were left here
and there; the most extensive piece Of
covering being above the corner in
which lay. almost in 4 row, about a
dozen small logs Of wood.
Emmeline set down her candle in the
most sheltered spot, and, full Of hope,
hurriedly commenced her search.

Pruning Tomatoes as n Field Crop.

Pruning Tomatoes as n Field Crop.
Most all the tomato raisers who plant
with a view to marketing advocate the
pruning Of tomatoes. This pruning re-
quires prompt attention, o. else there
Is danger Of doing more harm than
| good, Pruning should be commenced
when the plants are about one foot
high. 1t is generally best TO reduce
them to one stem or stalk. At every
leaf there are two buds; one Is a bud
for a branch Of the vine, and the other
is a fruit bud. .....
By removing the branch bad you
| readily see that most Of the growth
1t would have taken will go into the
fruit bud and make the fruit on il
grow rapidly, much larger, and ripen
earlier. Some men will tell You that
by pruning the vines they will die
| early In the summer and bear 10 fruit,
and by not pruning the vines will bear
plenty of fruit till frost. All this Is
| true. but one must remember that the
| question Is raising tomatoes for mar
ket. When pruned the vines win die
| out about the first or middle Of July.
but the profit Of shipping has about
died out.
The early tomato Is what the gar
dener makes his largest profit On, and
| his profits generally grow smaller as
| the season passes by. BY pruning the
tomato vines they will bear earlier and
larger tomatoes, and that IL what is
wanted for marketing. 1t Is not adj
visable to prune tomatoes for family
use. az II Is better to have the Zines
bear till frost. Early large fruit is
not in such demand for home consump-
ton. TO keep an acre property pruned
requires an outlay of about So. -Ho he

putting in a frying pan with thin slices

INCOLD BLOOD.

Tragedy at Mannington-W. NJ.
Garard Shot Down Without Mo-
ment's Warning-The Murderer Safe
ly Jailed-A Scandal at the Bottom OF
the Affair.
MANNINGToN, w. Va, Aug. PA
cold blooded murder was committed
early this morning in this city, w.
NJ. Garard, an ell man, was shot
down by j. NJ. Riddle at ten minutes
past twelve o'clock The ball en-
tered just below the breast bone and
took an upward curve, lodging in the
left shoulder.
The wounded man walked a short
distance after he was shot. but soon
fell, and died upon the sidewalk at
1890 o'clock. Mr. Riddle, the man
who did the shooting, Immediately
gave himself up to Chief Of Po-
lice Sine and Night Policeman
Snodgrass, saying that she had shot
man who was trying to effect an
entrance into his residence by climb
ing through window.
Others say that the shooting oc-
CURED on Buffalo street, between j.
B, Molter's bakery and Martin S
drug store.
A friend of the wounded man says
be was walking with him on the
street last night, and had just left
him when he { Mr.. Garard) met Mr..
Riddle going west on Buffalo street.
He said he heard Mr.. Riddle speak
to Mr. Garard, and heard Mr.. Ca
rard answer him, but did not under
stand what was said Then he heard
Mr. Riddle use oaths, and fire a shot
The gentleman turned and started
to find out what was the matter, and
met Mr.. Riddle she said, "you had
better 60 and assist your partner,
he is dead"
Mr. Riddle is jealous of his wife,
and it is said he threatened last
evening to kill a certain party He
claims now that Mr. Garard was not
the man he intended to kill, but that
he took him for some one else. The
deceased came here from Shuman
Heights three weeks ago; be was in
the employ of the South Penn Com
pany. He had been married only
seven weeks. He was a member of
the Knights of Maccabees and Odd
Fellows, and was of good reputation.
Riddle was taken to Fairmont on
the early morning train, where he
was placed in Jail to await the meet
ing Of the grand jury.
Mr.. and Mrs. Riddle quarrelled
frequently, and she applied for di
voree several weeks ago, alleging
non support. The suit is pending.
Much indignation is felt over the
affair.

VICTIMS OF RATTLERS.
Three Persons Bitten by the Yenemous
Reptiles-0ne Dies.

William Morehead and Thomas
Broomfield, farmers ON Buffalo creek,
Nicholas county, this State. were
working in an an old brush grown
field recently when both were bitten
by tremendous rattlesnake. More
head was struck on the leg and
Broomfeld on one Of his toes. More
heads leg swelled in few minutes
to almost the size of his body. He
lived in fearful agony several hours,
dying from the effects Of the bite on
Saturday morning. Bloomfield, who
was a man of intelligence and quick
of action, as soon as he was bitten
took out his knife and deliberately
severed the injured toe. His action
was SO quick that the poison, rapid
ly as it infuses itself into the blood.
did not have time to penetrate to
any great depth and he felt no i'll
effects from its action. In the same
neighborhood only a few days be
fore, two boys, about 10 or I6 years
old, were passing through an old
field near Broomfeld's house when
one of the boys was struck in the
calf of the leg by rattlesnak. They
quickly killed the reptile and then
the boy who had escaped its faugs
scarified his friends wound with his
knife and deliberately put his lips
to the wound and sucked ous the
poison with the blood The injured
boys leg panied him for several
hours, but the poison had been en-
tirely withdrawn and he is now as
sound as ever.

cratic influence good times are rap
idly materializing. He is little

desire for a third term, and thinks
that Mr.. Whitney would fill the bill.

with the great work the Demo
cratic administration is doing for
sound money good times are return
ing. They will continue to improve,
and the Democrats will get credit
The next Republican House is sure
to encounter complications.
81 really do not believe that Mr.
Cleveland would take third term.
There is no pronounced candidate
for the Presidency among the Demo
Gratis; not because the chances of
election are not good, but because it
is too early for candidates 10 appear.

splendid candidate if he accepted the
nomination. Nv best information

of enthusiasm. With the return of
good times the free coinage agitation
will die out, and good times mean a

Will some of Calamity James ca
lamity howlers explain why It was
that three years ago Homestead, Pa,
was the center of disturbance, and
reduced wages was the rule. The
Mckinley style of protection was
then in full blast. The world knows
the history Of the Homestead riot.
In the same section the greatest
advance in wages ever known was
made few days ago, when 1900
puddlers in the first district of Pitts
burg were given voluntary advance
and 10000 puddlers in all shared in
the increase. Later on the same
benefit will accrue to 10000 finish
ers. This is by no means an isolated
case. The industries under the new
tariff law have taken on a life and
vigor perfectly amazing to the ca
lamity howlers and instances of wag
es advancing from 10 to 25 per cent
are common news stories every day.
The Wilson bill is now in full
force. "a wayfaring man though a
fool can certainly see the difference.

The Atlanta Exposition.
Atlanta Constitution.


No exposition in the history OF
the world has ever received so much
voluntary exploiting from the press
of all nations as has fallen to the lot
Of Atlanta's big show.
Newspapers printed in every lang
uage are talking about Atlanta and
the exposition. But, if our foreign
contemporaries are liberal, the papers
of America are prodigal in this re-
spect For months it has been i'm
possible to glance over newspaper
in this country without seeing one
or more article commencing our
great enterprise.
The leading journals of the coun-
try are teeming with illustrated ar
ticles and editorials on this line. The
big dailies and the country weeklies
are all urging their readers TO visit
Atlanta this fall and winter. Among
the granite hills of New England,
on the boundless prairies of the
northwestern the. sunny Pacific slope
and throughout the south the news
papers report the organization of
big and little parties of tourists who
will be heading this way in the fall.
Some of these excursions will be as
large as an invading army in war
times. Then we have reports of num-
erous smaller parties in Europe and
in Spanish America who have Sc
cured special rates for trip in this
direction. Apparently the whole out
side world has its gaze conferred up
on Atlanta and its delegates will
flock here in legions.
Our own people here in the city
do not realize what is going on.
They do not yet know that they are
about to confront the biggest event
in the line of progress and enter
prise in their history. 1t is time for
us all to wake up to the fact that
one of the most notable expositions
of modern times will open its gates
in less than month from now. If
we have neglected any of our prepa-
rations we had better begin hustling
without moments delay.
