Train Load OF Gold.

Chicago, Ill, Oct Railroad
employees at the Grand Central Pas
senger Station thought the advance
guard of the army had arrived in
Chicago when the Baltimore & Ohio
fast express train pulled into the
station last night. The United
States Express Co, had a special
car attached to the train and all ex
cepi one little corner Of this car was
filed with men who carried reyolvers
and guns having bristling bayonets.
In the little corner, however, was a
sufficient wealth to satisfy a dozen
gangs Of train robbers if they had
secured it.
The wealth consisted of gold
amounting to legal tender value of
S2,5O0,000. It had been shipped
from the Sub Treasury in New York
to the Sub Treasury in this city and
it was transferred from the express
car to the Rand McNally building
this morning The transfer was due
to the fact that the Chicago Sub
Treasury was taxed to relieve the
recent strain on the Sub Treasury in
San Francisco.

Keen Plenty of Stock Hors.

Experience has demonstrated that
the farmer who keeps his hog stock
up year in and year out is wise
Southern Stock Farm says: Itis all
well enough to say that it don't take
any time to get into hogs. When
everybody wants to buy it costs
something to get in, however. The
fact that hogs and corn get wide
apart IL price at times is largely due
to lots Of men going out of hogs
when corn is high and hogs low, and
going into hogs when corn is low
and hogs high, For instance, IN
1891 corn sold for so cents bushel
and hogs for So so per hundred.
That year it was anything to get rid
OF hogs with great many farmers,
4 year later, in the fall of 1892,
everybody wanted hogs.and the men
who got out IN 1891 bought IN at
figures that materially cut down
their margin Of profit. Just now we
have the object lesson Of low prices
on both corn and hogs, with the al
most certainty that so far as corn is
concerned low prices will rule for a
long time. With hogs, however, the
prospects are better for an up turn.
II business revives during the win
ter, and especially if cur foreign
markets are retrieved by favorable
Legislation. as they can be, the pros
pect is for better prices. So it is
we'll to keep up stock whichever way
things go. In fact it has been prov
en- beyond question that sticking to
hogs through good conditions and
bad proved best for all farmers who
have tried it. We venture the pre-
dictlon that the man who carries
over a good lot of brood sows this
season will never regret it.

in Boston confirm dispatches in re

the recent massacre at Egin. These
advices state that many of the dead
were left in the streets for days as

were thrown into the Euphrates,
The bodies were seen floating
down the river so miles below the
city. In some cases whole families
were obliterated. Exact statistics,
of course. cannot be given now. but
it is feared that 1000 is an under
estimate. All the testimony at hand
concurs in showing that the mass
acre was official, and that it was
