The farmers have made very little pro-
gress since Christmas with their affairs,
and "even at this late hour" they seem
to be undecided on the cotton crop aud the
purchase Of Guano. Our opinion is: it is
a question OF individual concern; every
farmer should ntudy the matter seriously
for bimeelf and govern himself according
ly, We believe there is brighter day
ahead for the Southern farmer, If he will
but use the God given resources that he is
abundautly favored with.
The oat crop was totally destroyed by
the severe cold, and it is thought that the
wheat is more or less damaged. also.
However, the most Of our farmers are pre-
paring to SOW more oats as BOON as the
land dries sufficiently.

Fourth Chamber Concert Given at the Y.
NJ A.
The last Of the series Of four cham
Der concerts under the direction of
Theodore Hemberger was given last
evening to large and cultured audi
ence in Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion hall. The participants We're Theo-
dore Femberger, first violin; A. N. Rip
pard, second violin: r. ]. Bauer, viola;
T. II. Rippard, cello; ]. Willis Conant,
piano, with Miss Slee as contralto vo-
calst.
The first number a trio, by Brahms
was given by Messrs. Hemberger, Rip
pard and Conant in a mastery style.
Miss Glee delighted her auditors with
beautiful sonS written by Franz
Pies. Miss Slee is beyond question the
most accomplished of the contcaltos
who have made Scranton their place of
abode. 1t is to be regretted she is not
he", to stay. For an encore she gave
a pretty rendering of THE Night
ingale," by Reignold Becker.
j. Willis Conant displayed finished
technique, coupled with much pathos
and fine style, in his playing Of Chop
in ballad, which was heartily encored.
Miss Slee again captivated the audience
with two beautiful selections, "The
Shepherd Song" by Delibes, and "A
Spring Song" by Homes.
The concluding number. a quartette
by Tschaikowsky, was the crowning
point of the evening. 1t is hoped we
shall have another series of these
chamber concerts after the summer has
fed.

MortalIy Wound Two OF His Posse.

Pittsburg, Tex, April 3O-In a remote
section of Titus county, twenty miles
north of here, yesterday, Constable Oil
yer attempted to arrest a man named
Belcher for some minor offense Belch-
er resisted and in the shooting which
followed Constable Oliver was shot
through the hand. oliver withdrew
and secured reinforcements in the per-
sons Of three men named Cooper, Frye
and Ritchie. Returning to make the
arrest, Belcher and the male members
of his family ambushed the party at
Blacks bridge, on White Oak river,
just at dusk. pouring a heavy fusilade
into the posse from rifles and revolvers,
moving down the entire party
--latest reports from the scene OF the
ambuscade state that oliver and Cooper
were instantly killed and Frye and
Ritchie fell mortally wounded The
Belchers mounted their horses and fled,
leaving the dead and dying officers in
the road where they fell Armed posses
are on their trail, but 1T is not believed
the Belchers will be captured alive.
They are desperate men and further
bloodshed is looked for
