/. The attention Of camps of United

called to the great reunion which is to be
held at Houston, Texas, on the 22d, 23d
and 24th Of May proximo, and to the i'm
portance of their being fully represented
upon that occasion. Business of great
importance will come before the Conven-
ton, and probably the election Of division

their respective terms of Office, with non
eligibility to reelection under the con-
stitution, have expired.
2. Railroads throughout the Sonth have
agreed to issue tickets to veterans at one
cent per mile, limited to ten days, which
will probably be extended to twenty five
days, while our comrades in Texas are
anxious to receive us with warmest well
come and unstinted hospitality.
8. The constitution prescribes that each
camp shall annually, during or before
the month of April, transmit to .Adjt.
Gen. George Moorman, New Orleans,
La, a complete roll of its membership,
with the annual dues of ten cents for
each member.
4. This division now ranks sixth in the
number of its camps, having thirty-four

rate Veterans, the following resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, the Legislature Of the State
of Florida at its present session has pass
ed joint resolution, known as Senate
Resolution No. 13, requesting the Con-
gress of the United States to purchase the
Site of the battlefield of Appomattox for
a national park, and to erect joint mon
ument to Gems. Grant and Lee upon the
spot where the latter surrendered to the
former; and whereas, the battlefield OF
Appomattox is known only as the spot
where the hopes, aspirations and inde-
pendence Of the Southern Confederacy
were forever crushed; and whereas, q
monument to Gems. Grant and Lee at
Appomattox ID not desired by the South

should be erected at Appomatto1 to

that end would more gracefully originate

A New Cotton Pest.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE depart
meut Of agriculture has just issued cir
cular to cotton planters relative to new
and very destructive insect that has been
brought across the Rio Grarde from
Mexico into the cotton belt of Texas. and
which during 1891 seriously Injured the
cotton crop over territory of about five
thousand square miles. 1t punctures the
bolls with its beak and lays eggs in tho
hole thus made. The grubs hatch and
ruin both the seed and fiber, thus de-
stroying simultaneously both products Of
the cotton plant.
The Texas legislature, at the suggestion
of the agricultural department, Ia discus
sing the question Of quarantining the
cotton from the infected section and the
enforcement of the remedial work by act
of law. The department Of agriculture
has appointed skilled agent, who Is 10.
Gated at Brownsville, Tex, and who will
study the life, history and habits of the
new pest and experiment extensively
with remedies during the coming season
under the direction of Mr.. l.. o. Howard,
chief entomologist of the department..
Inasmuch as the insect is new to Ameri
can cotton planters there Is much yet to
be learned about Its habits before practi-
cal remedies can be suggested. This in
sect is now in Texas and threatens to
spread to other cotton States, and the on
tire south is, therefore, interested in the
problem now confronting the Texas leg

Must Raise Passenger Rates.

COLUMBIA, April 13.-The question of
passenger rates has always been pre-
picking one to the railroad commission.
The latest phase Of the question has come
up in the request Of the receiver Of the
Blue Ridge Railroad to increase the rate
on passengers from 81 to 5 cents per mile.
The commission at its lsst cling de-
clined to make any speciai CO.. ,ssion to
the Blue Ridge Road and nov -,eceiver
Beattie has renewed his request for an in
crease in his rate on the ground that 1t is
an absolute necessity in order that he
might keep up the roadway of his line
and offer proper facilities to the travelling
public.
In letter to the commission, which
has lust been received, Mr.. Beattie says !:
.'The public demand the service and it is
only question with them whether they
are willing to pay increased rates or do
without the service. While in December
and January I did manage. by very close
working and without any material re-
pairs to our roadway, to make expenses
in two Of the best months in the year,it
does not follow that can do so when the
business grows lighter, and 1t is no result
to run railroad on bare operating ex-
penses without laying up any surplus to
provide for the proper maintenance Of the
track or any contingency that may arise
incident to the railroad business"
The commission will take up the mat
ter atits next meeting, and to say the
least it is a perplexing question to know
what to do In such cases.-Netcs and Cou-
r>ier

The rifle Is one Of the first made by the
German government from brand new
invention of Mauser, the great German
frearm inventor. In appearance it is
something like the Krog-Jorgensen mill
tary rifle, now being adopted by the
United States army, but for shooting it
has eclipsed anything yet made. 1t is of
80 caliber and the barrel is made of three
tubes, one inside the other, on the same
principle as the Krupp gun. The inner
tube is rifled of hard, tempered steel. The
powder used is smoksless, nitroglycerine
explosive, which makes little report and
no smoke. Fired along at the height OF
the shoulder, the bullet will 60 nearly two
miles before its force is spent, and at 2 600
yards it would pierce the bodies of seven
men placed one behind the other.

Heaviest Ever Known.

The Board of Regents Of the State
Lunatio Asylum yesterday held their
regular monthly meeting. The board
discovered that the population was iI1-
creasing 80 rapidly that the problem Of
more room becomes more yitally impOr-
tant than ever. The population of the
asylum is now $50 patients, notwithstand-
ing tho board discharged twenty patients
yesterday upon the recommendation of
the superintendent. This is the greatest
number Of patients the asylum has ever
had at any one time.
The board fully discussed the matter of
the manufacture Of brick again, the State
having allowed the asylum squad of
convicts to make brick for the proposed
new building for the colored male patti
ents. It was finally decided that Supt.
Neal, of the penitentiary, should be
allowed the use of the convicts, 1t being
agreed that he should furnish the regents
with all tho brick they desired at $500
per thousand.
Mr.. Seegers has made the regents an
offer of the eSheutzenplatz property, which
they are considering, but upon which as
vet they have taken no action. This ls
one Of the most valuable properties IN
the northern suburbs, and would make
an excellent site for new building pur-
poses to be erected in the future, besides
giving much additional fine farm land

ss OneoE the beat evidences Of restored
confidence and rsviving business is the
assurance Of large railroad construction
this year. Last year less than 2, 900 miles
1ot railway were built In the United
States. This, was tho lowest record for
more than twenty yearr. Things are to
be very different this year. The Rai!a0ay
Age, 9. reliable authority, says that there
,srs now 1851 miles of new railway un-
der construction or in condition where
the actual track laying will be begun in
Che early future. In this estimate the
Raizway Age has carefully excluded all
old enterprises for. building railroads
which are etil striving to obtain the
means for beginning construction and all
sspaper railway schemes. It declares
that its figures include only enterprises
which have good financial backing and
practical direction. In this view OF the
matter the showing is indeed remarkable.

T. G. Aughtry, who was tried and cen
ricted In Columbia last week for the
murder of Conway Oliver, has been
granted new trial by Judge Earle, for
the reason that the Judge could not con-
cur in the finding Of the Jury. We have
heard some criticism of the Judges
action, but it seems to US that he was
right. He said he did not think the evi-
dence warranted the verdict, and that II
he did not express his non. concurrence BY
granting new trial he felt that he would
be taking part in judicial murder. We
are not 8 lawyer, but as we have under
stood the law from Judge Earle's decision
the situation is this: The Circuit Judge,
by refusing the motion for a new trial,
even though he do not concur with the
Jury, cuts off the defendant from any
ground of appeal on that line, for the Su-
preme Court will not review the facts
which have been passed on'by the jury
and with whose verdict the Circuit Judge
has refused to interfere. In other words,
no one but the Circuit Judge can set
aside the verdict on that ground, and II
he honestly does not concur with the Jury
(that is to say, If there is good ground
for his non-concurring.) he should grant
the new trial. We remember that q
motion was made for new trial IN q
case heard at the last term Of Court here
on pretty much the same grounds as
those In the Aughtry case, and the Judge
said he could not put his judgment
against that of the jury. Now that defen-
Idant cannot have the facts reviewed by
the Supreme Court because they say the
Circuit Judge alone can do that. And
yet here is o verdict, said to be against
the weight of the evidence, which must
stand because the Judge did not think he
could interfere. We think Judge Earle
took the right view Of it. Human life is
too sacred to be sacrificed without con-
currence OF opinion by Judge and jury
in the guilt Of the accused.

A Horrible Story From St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, April 12.-Louis Frank and
Miss Kate Cobb, lovers, who lived in this
city, died for love in horrible manner
before daylight this morning, the man
being the murderer and the suicide by
agreement. Their bodies were found
lying side by side on Jacob Duffy's farm,
few miles west of the city, on the Wal
ton road. In the right hand Of the man
was revolver, and each was shot through
the head.
The tragedy was discovered by Chas.
Taylor, gardener. Miss Kolb, a beaItl-
full young woman, lay stretched upon the
ground with her throat cut from ear to
ear. Blood was still flowing from tho
chastity wound. By her side was the
corpse of Frank, whose face was horribly
distorted by the agonies of death. He
was lying almost face downward with
his right arm thrown across the body of
the woman. His throat was also cut
from ear to ear. The knife, covered with
blood, lay on the ground. At the feet Of
the bodies lay an empty box labelled
.'Rat poison
The woman's hat lay crushed on the
ground. Pinned to ribbon was this
note: "April 8. We have both decided
to die together and If one or the other
should happen to recover the other shall
not be held responsible for the deed. We
both are going to take poison and I will
do the shooting. We are not doing this
on account of any love affair, but simply
because we do not want to live any long
or. This is all we have to say and hope
there will be no trouble. We remain as
ever, yours truly, Mr.. Louis Frank, l ,93l
Cherokee street; Miss Kate Kolb."
The letter was written in Ink and
u ~, kl1 full " Y,Iu
ned and the letter prepared before the
couple left the city to die, or after they
reached the scene of the tragedy. The
girls name was signed with lead pencil.
TAYLOR ran all tho way to the Female
Hospital on the western edge and startled
the physicians there with the news of bis
discovery. DR.. Wells, of the hospital,
opened their clothing and discovered that
they had been shot just aboYe the heart.
There were traces of poison on the lips Of
both. After swallowing the poison they
had gashed their throats with the blade OF
large clasp knife, and then the man had
made doubly sure by firing bullet into
the girls breast. He ended his own life
in the same manner.
A farmer who lives across the road
from the scene says he heard the pistol
shots about 2 o'clock in the morning, but
did not investigate.
Kate Kolb lived at ,s35 Cherokee street
with her parents. She and Frank, who
had been engaged for year, left horne
together last Wednesday. The girl lett 8

It was learned tonight that Katie Kolb

here with an uncle.

The Exodus to Liberia Begun.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 13.-Nsws
has been received in this city that the
steamship Horsa, which sailed from Phil
adelphia some weeks ago for Savannah,
and there took on board about two hun
dred emigrants for Liberia, had arrived at
Monrovia, and after safely landing her
passengers had proceeded to Barbados.
From the latter place she will return here
Thene1t contingent of emigrants will be
shipped from this city. They will come
from various sections Of the South and
will be sent out from Philadelphia be-
cause of better shipping facilities at this
port. Those who have gone to Liberia
to live have each been provided with a
piece of land and provisions for three
months. One of the purposes in sending
them out from this city is the eventual
establishment Of a line of steamers from
here to Liberia.
