MuRDERous WORK OF A NEGRO
Farmer Drained With nm AK and
Robbed

COLUMBUS, Ca, Nov 15.-News reached
the city yesterday of fiendish crime COM
mitted by a negro. Sunday night Mr.. Bart
lett Horn, a well-known farmer who lives
twenty-one miles north of Columbus, was
assaulted by a negro named viii Stapleton
with an ak, inficting injuries which will
result in death. Mr. Horn was sitting in his
dining room with his face TO the fire and
with his back TO the negro. The negro de-
liberately walked up to the man and struck
him terrific blow on the head with the
ak. The force of the blow knocked the
farmer over and while he lay there helpless
and bleeding the fiend struck him two more
blows. The mans skull was crushed in
and the physician says there is no hope for
his recovery. The negro riled the far
mer's pockets of S65.
The assault was witnessed by Mr.. Horns
eight-year- old boy who had not left the
house as the negro told him to. but i'm
PEELED by some motive peeped through the
crack into the dining room and saw the
terrible deed. He ran at once to his mother
in an adjoining room and the two began
screaming. The screams attracted the at
tention of a neighbor who lived about sew
enty-fve yards away and he came running
to the scene. This alarmed the negro who
then fed. The community is aroused to
great excitement over the crime and are
now securing the country for the negro.

DRAWING AN ENEMY's FIRE.
A Comparison Between Beers and
Union Soldiers.
CFrom the New York Tribune)

(From the New York Tribune.)
Among the examples Of military heroism
which have been reported from South Africa
In the first days Of the present war. about
the brightest of which details have been
given, is that of the eight Beers who, for
the express purpose of drawing the fire
Of the British and allowing their own corps
to change position with comparatively small
loss, deliberately left cover and exposed
themselves in the opposite Objection to that
which their comrades desired TO take. In
speaking Of this sacrifice OF few for the
good of the many General Merritt was re-
minded of an incident at the battle OF
Winchester, which, SO far as he knows, has
never until now got into print.
Il commanded a division OF cavalry
there" he said land it was my intention
to make a charge on the body of the enemy
posted with their centre on an entrenched
work. They could have thrown us into
great confusion with well directed vol
ley, OF course, while We rode over the
open space which separated them from
us. Some distance away l saw brigade
of our infantry, under whose command
did not know at the time, but believe it
afterward turned out that Rutherford B.
Hayes commanded it. OF course. those were
the days Of muzzle leaders; the maneuvre
would not have been SO effective with an
enemy using more modern weapons with
longer range and more rapid action. As
the case was, I sent my adjutant general,
Captain McQueston, with request to the
officer in command Of that brigade to let
his men make demonstration in the open
SO as to draw the enemy's nre. The re-
quest was complied with. AS result the
rebels turned their attention to the infan-
try, and my command was able to get to
close quarters with them before they could
do us much damage with their musketry."
On the whole, General Merritt is disposed
to be skeptical about the stories SO plenti
fully used in the average thrilling war
thriller" which delights the Imagination of
boyhood about the ''forlorn hope" COM
posed of volunteers all ready to go to al
most certain death. I'm certain cases." he
says, ''the leading company. or wing in
an attack is practically a forlorn hope but
the duty falls to them in the regular course
Of the tactical Development Of the action.
There is no calling for volunteers in such
cases" -ail.

A SURPRISE IN MARYLAND.

The Governor Appoints q Democrat
to Office.
CUMBERLAND. Md, Nov. 15.-Gover-
nor Lowndes yesterday appointed DeWar-
rem H. Reynolds, Democrat, member of
the board Of school commissioners for Al
legany county for four years. or Until
August. 1904. vice John G. Wilson, Re-
publican. who resigned to take the ONCE
of States attorney. to which he was elected
last week. This makes the school board
Democratic, the holdovers being Will H.
Shepherd, Democrat, and Duncan Sinclair
Republican. Governor Smith will two years
hence appoint Mr. Shepherds successor,
his term expiring in 1862. Mr.. Sinclair's
term expires in 1903.
Mr.. Reynolds is a leading member of
the Cumberland bar and an active Demo-
crat. He was defeated for States attorney
by David w. Sloan, now associate judge
Mr.. Reynolds was once a school teacher
He is a brother of John NJ Reynolds, of
Bedford, Pa, who was Assistant Secretary
of the Interior under Cleveland. The ap-
pointment of Democrat caused somewhat
of a surprise, but it was made along the
line of Governor Lowdnes' views that ef-
ficinecy and not partisanship should con-
troll the school boards.

ball than they have this season Is puz-
zling the critics. Manager Nicholson says
that there is no dissatisfaction among the

as any other team in the city.
Captain Mills. Weaver and Harding have

er boat One OF the other guests left the
boat and walked to a sandy bank and dug
up a big clam. He broke open the shell
and ate the clam. The expert took look
at the shell. then looked closer. and decided
that it would make as good buttons as any
shell dug up from the Danube or wherever
else they procure them over In Austria.
This was the beginning of the clam hunts
along the big river, where money and not
idle sport is the moving impulse.
Up to the time Of the accession Of Presi-
dent Mckinley every pearl button which
adorned the raiment of an American was
an imported button. Then Americans COM
menced to import the shells and manufac-
ture buttons. Then this Viennese expert
revealed his secret. and there was a furry
in clans along the Father of Waters. I'm
ported shells, owing to the tariff regula-
tions, cost a manufacturer something like
so cents pound. When it is remembered
that one shell may weigh a pound or the
majority fraction, and also yield but one
or two buttons, some idea of the expense
Of importations can be e,gleaned.
So this man caused it to be made known
that he would buy good clam shells in ton
lots. 1t is now quite an industry, as any,
one can see for himself il he will sail the
river from near Memphis to La Crosse. He
will see hundreds of families fishing for
Along the river are shacks In scores.
Families live in them. Nearby outside are
long troughs filled with water. Huge caul-
drons are mounted on stone foundations,
and the shells are taken away by parboil-
ing. Just enough heat is generated to kill
the clans. Punts, old fashioned, snub-
nosed, and blunt-sterned punts, are on the
river and in the sloughs. A trap made of
heavy gaspipe is placed over each punt.
Lines set at 6-inch intervals are strung
pronged hooks made of old wire are fast
ened to the lines. Then the punt is pushed
out into the river and the fishing begins.
Mr.. Clam points his nose upstream, and
invariably keeps his mouth open. He lies
on the bottom Of the river waiting for
to come his way, when he will
seize upon 1t. 1t is tradition along the
river that clam is like turtle in te-
nacity Of purpose. One will never lose his
grip till It thunders. The clam sticks to
his point till the sun goes down. The trap
with the dozens Of hooks is tilted over
the side Of the punt lying upstream, and
at once the CLAIMS lay violent hold on the
hooks, as many as can get a grip on
prong. Then the fisherman hauls in, and
has a boatload in a very short time.
He has his troubles separating the clans
from the hooks, for the shell must not be
injured But when this is done the cargo
is boiled gently, and then the family lines
up beside the trough and takes away the
shells. The boiled meat is fed to pigs and
chickens or thrown away. Hundreds of
such outfits as the one mentioned can be
seec along the river, for to the man who

The Postofice Department will make its
first experiment with the automobile in
connection with the collection and ca ry-
ing of mail to the railroad station in Chi
cago, and If this proves a success it is ex-
pected that they Will soon be put in Ope-
ration in this city.
Bids for supplying the Chicago post

for in that city today. II the scheme
proves practical and economical and will
do all that is claimed for it, then it will

large cities Of the country, Washington IN
eluded 1t will not require Congressional
legislation to authorize the Posoffice De-
partment to adopt the automobile, for the
reason that the appropriation for horse
and wagon hire can be used.
Postmaster Merritt said to a Times re-
porter this morning that 1t was only
question of time when the automobile
would be used exclusively for the colee-
tion of the mail and also for the delivery
of the mail to the hotels and apartment
houses and for carrying the mail TO the
railroad stations.
The automobile, he said, would no doubt
shortly be adopted by the Washington
postolhce. But just when he would not

in connection with ii that required consid-
Grafton.
At present the carriers who do the col
lecting own the horse and wagon, for
which the Government makes an allow
ance for horse hire. Thus the carrier is
really at no expense. But as an automobi e,
he said, costs anywhere from $500 TO 81 OGO,
it is not likely that mail collector would
be able to invest that amount OF money
in one of the machines.
There is no question" said Postmaster
Merritt. but that one automobile will be
able TO do the work OF several horses and
wagons, and do it in much quicker time.
And time in the collecting and despatchlng
of the mails is everything. 1t is not I'M
probable that automobiles will be adopted
Inv the Washington City Postofice before
Christmas 1t will largely depend on what

knows how to pick shells the profit is con-
siderable. 1t even outpoints tilling the
soil.
When the shells reach the factory they
are immersed in fluid for couple OF
weeks. This serves to render the pearl
easy of manipulation in the six or seven
processes necessary to turn raw shell
into a finished button. First an expert
takes the she'll and saws out the cyiindri-
cal blanks. He knows Just how many
blanks one shell will produce. and throws
it away as soon as he has cut them out.
Then the blanks are sorted by a machine
and put to soak again. Then they are
placed in machines. which cut them down
to the requisite thickness. Then the shaper
works at them. Then the holes are drilled
through, and the button goes to the pol
Usher. 1t is sewed onto card. aud Is ready
for the garment maker.
