CHICAGO, ILL, April 1.-THE ship
ment of carload of California flowers to
the Chicago market for the Easter trade
proved an improbable experiment. Three
fourths of the carload arrived in Chicago
in a worthless condition. Out OF q. 0O0

found fit for market. In the shipment
there were several thousands of date and
fan palms in good condition, which would
have been in demand had they arrived be-

the consignment that will bring a good
price were 10000 yellow marguerites,
which will readily sell at retail at So 8

 WAYNEsBURG, Pa, Juno 7.-John Eis- inminger. the third man to be hanged in Green county, was executed here for mur- dor Tho doctors pronounced him dead at fl minutes from the time he fell. The hanging was witnessed by about 800 peo- pie, among those present being Mrs. Mo Coy. the widow of Eisinminger's victim. She called to see him Thursday afternoon. and an affecting scene followed.
 She had received the young man s letter expressing repentance and asking her for giveness, and she came to tell him that she did forgive him. The morning was spent in prayer and leave taking.
 The parting from his young wife almost unnerved Eisinminger, and he was ter ribly weak after this ordeal. After this his spiritual advisers spent several hours with him. leaving the prisoner much 1e- freshed and rather calmly awaiting his end.
 It was :15 o'clock when EisinmingeI marched up tho gallows steps between Sheriff Kent and the latters son Percy, who acted as deputy.

Road Tolls Imposed to Raise Revenues.
 The French Burned the Bridges.
 The first turnpikCs had no rock upon them except what nature placed there, says the Louisville Courier Journal, and they were considered d nuisance. The first turnpike" so called, was very muddy vroad-impassablca at timeS-and some are that way vet. The first turn pike was ordered placed across the highways near London about 1346 by King Edward ILL It was such an easy way to get money that the practice spread all over England, Ireland and Wales, and found its way into France. In the latter country every little prince and duke CT count that owned or con- trolled land along water courses erected a bridge across the stream and put a turnpike" across one end If the bridge and demanded tull.
 One night, after long suffering from this imposition, the people burned every toll bridge in France and the little 1 turnpike" went up i'll the flames The word turnpike" originally meant a pike or pole placed across a highway for the purpose of preventing persons from passing until toll was paid. It was not raised and lowered as our tollgate pole or "pike''-stick-is now raised and lowered, but was placed on q post erected i'll the center of the road or bridge and turned like what is now known as a "turnstilc." From this turnpike, " "turnstick' or ''turnpole" comes by corruption, CT more properly speaking. by usage, the word turn pike," by which we mean a macadam- ized road.
 Ill England the custom of demanding toll for travelling on the highways caused i endless trouble, and has been almost en- | tirely abolished, but this was not done until after years of rout and riot. Tho i first turnpike i'll Kentucky had not a rock upon it, except what nature had placed there, It occupied what was i known as the "old Wilderness road, " which was "blazed out" by Daniel 1 Boone from Cumberland Gap down into i the lowlands about Crab Orchard or 1 Boonesboro. It had tollyatcs placed upon it by virtue of an act of the legislature
 Its friends came to every legislature for 1 50 years for amendments tO its charter ! until it became chestnut. Its cOudi- tion became SD bad and so we'll known that Polk Johnson introduced bill to declare it q naviSable stream, and ''it never came back.
