that it is of thrilling interest in view

DEATH IN AN IRON JACKET.
Discovery of a Skeleton Supposed tc
Be That of a Negro Murderer.

While digging on a road which runs
from King George county court house,
in Virginia, to a point called Indian
Town, recently w. II. II. CayWOOd. Il
local politician, unearthed the Skele-
ton of a man incased in a complete
iron jacket made of thin Stats. The
skeleton was in a good state of pres
ervati0n with the exception of a few
of the small bones, and the jacket, al
though greatly rusted, was complete
A World correspondent had an Oppor-
tunity of inspecting the CHASTITY cas-
ket. Tie skeleton fell apart when
removed from its resting-place, with
still in the head piece. Iron bands
held the skeleton at the waist, knees
and ankles and ran up and down the
legs from the shoulders of the feet
The diaphragm was held by a series
of bands somewhat like q corset, and
the arms were kept outstretched by
several rings. The head piece fitted
like a mask A big iron bolt was
rivetted perpendicularly to the top of
the head piece and appeared to have
been run through a beam. A more
inhuman and horrible death than one
in this cage cannot be imagined.
The accepted theory that this iron
jacket contained the skeleton of one
Manuel negro slave, who about
ITO belonged to a family Of Stew
arts. and who was executed in an I'M
usual and horrible manner. Tradition
says that Manuel was a bad darkey,
who had often proved rebelliOus and
Ill-temDCred, and was inclined to in
cite his fellOw-slavcs to acts Of re-
belliOn and anarchy. ManueHs mis-
deeds eliminate in ITO in the brutal
murder of his master, mistress and
several children. The archives Of the
county court for King George county
contain the record Of his trial con-
yictiJn and sentence to death. Ac-
cOrding to tradition, the shareholders
of the county were so Infatuated that
they determined to make of Manuel
an example for future rebelliOuS and
violent slaves. SO Manuel, instead of
being hanged, was bound in an iron
jacket, or case. so that he could not
move arms or feet. and in this cOndi-
ton was either swung or gibbeted
and left to die by starvation or thirst.
1t is said that while he swung there.
undergoing this slow and t0rturing
death the citizens brought their
slaves in drOves to see the horrid
SDprtac1n 10 hear thp DiteOuS cries
and means of the dying man, and
thus take warning lest that be their
fate also.

PROGRESS IN METHOD
Never Accomplished by the Man Who
SneerS at Book Farming.

\ correspondent of the Country Cen
tleman writes: When, in 1S6S. we be-
gan dairying on the old homestead 7
said | should never be satisfied until
we had reached 200 pounds of butter
per COW. At that time from 100 TO
80 pounds was considered a good
average. 1t was not long before we
reached 600 and occasionally reports
came in of some who had actually ex-
ceeded this by % pounds. l remem-
Der we'll the positiveneS with which
certain persons declared they knew
no dairyman had ever produced such
quantity by any honest means. The
standard has been getting higher and
higher. until today 400 pounds per
COW is far more common than 200
pounds was at that time
Not so very many years ago, a
dairyman who was looked upon as a,
man of good intelligence. and fairly
we'll educated, denounced the Jersey
COW as the poorest Of all poor stock.
and yet today he owns as fine a herd
of grade Jerseys as one could wish to
see. l have heard him say that the
liquids from his COW stables were
only a nuisance and not worth the
trouble of trying to save: and yet he
has arranged his manure drops and
stables so as to carry all the solids
and liquids to the field every day.
Very largely through the relation of
experience of practical farmers in au-
thoritative journals men of intelli-
gence have told in an intelligent man.
ner what results have been accom-
plished by them, and the seed has
taken deep root.
It seems passing strange to me,
while I am looking over the half
dozen agricultural and dairy journals
that come to our home every week
and in every one of them find some
thing Of value to me in my business
that so many farmers can endure to
plod along. shutting themselves out
from such a fund of information as
others have, and yet be content.
But I am sorry to say there are
too many farmers like one | met a

Next Tuesday, Nov. ), general cleo
tons will be held in Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts
Nebraska, New Jersey, New York.
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah and Vir-
ginia and on the 18th in Mississippi.
Governors VIII be chosen in Iowa,
Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, New Jersey, Ohio and
Utah, provided the proposed cons titu-
ton is adopted by the people of that
territory, thus investing it with the
full privileges of statehood. Failure
of this result, which is not proba be.
would postpone admission to the Jn-
ion Indefinitely and nullify the vote
for state offices. The most important
of the elections, so far as the results
direct and contingent are concerned,
are those Of Kentucky, Maryland and
New York, and they may be rated as
relatively significant in the order
named. Kentucky has never elected
other than a democrat to the office of
governor. 1t may be added that never
until this year was there any r0b-
ability of a break in the line. The
democratic party there is divided on
the silver question. The republicans
hope to win this time and then carry
the state in the presidential election
next year. Senator Blackburn's term
