Two Associations Vow in Session at
the Hub.
BOSTON, Sept 12.-The nineteenth an
nual reunion of the Old Time Telegraphers
Association and the United States Military
Telegraph Corps opened in Boston today
and will continue tomorrow and Thursday
The Old Time Teiegraphers is one of the
Oldest associations of telegraphers in the
country and practically includes every
operator who has ever mastered the Morse
alphabet. Their reunions are held for ths
purpose of bringing the men together and
are productive of many "reminiscences OF
years ago. when the country was wild and
woolly and the life of an operator was more
hazardous than il Is today.
The first day Of the reunion is being de-
voted to business meeting of both asSocia-
tions, and excursions will be made this af-
ternoon TO various points OF interest around
old Boston. Tomorrow a visit will be paid
to the Commercial Cable Companys station
at Rockport Mass, where luncheon Will be
served by the manager of the Cable Com
pany. The last day Of the reunion will be
devoted to sailing around Boston harbor
and the netting will be brought TO a close
with grand banquet at the Hotel Noting

more of them; heavier armor, more
widely distributed and protecting more
thoroughly the yitals of the ship and
gun crews. Their normal speed of sixteen
knots will be less on paper than that of
most foreign battleships, but this speed
will be obtained with very moderate
forced draught and without undu y push
ing the engines, SO that it may be expected
that at any time this speed can be dupli-
Gated by Americas vessels, while 1t is no
torious That foreign battieships never
again approach their trial speeds. The
United States has never fallen into this er-
ror regarding it's battleshiIs and in every
case has required that the maximum con-
tract speeds should be obtained undec con-
ditions which could be reproduced again
at any time upon weli-dri.led ship.
The vessels will be able to carry their
fully supply of coal-1.210 tcns-Aith the
greatest ease, their bunker space being go
ample that this quantity may be carrie /
without trimming or packing. This
amount will be ample for the ordinary
contingencies of cruising and for service
in time of war along our coast. as. at
cruising speed of ten knots, it will be suffi-
cient to enable the vessels to steam over
G,0C0 miles, and at thirteen knots, nearly
1900 miles. In case the services o, these
batt,eships were needed at a distance,
however. temporary provision could be
made by which four or five hundred tons
extra coal could be carried with cores
ponding increase in the radius O. a. t on.

Awaiting the Death Penalty.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 12.-Withn
steel cage, Edward Grannison is confined
to await the death penalty for the murder
of two deputy sheriffs. When Sheriff
Johnson brought him through Yazoo he
was met at the depot by crowd of about
1,oGG men and for while he thought he
woHld have trouble. However. no hostile
demonstration was made and the thor
oughly frightened negro was conveyed he g.
He denies that he killed Deputy Sheriff
Everett, but admits killing Deputy Stone
street with Winchester rifle. He states
that the deputies had surrounded him in a
cabin and thinking il was mob after him
returned their fire in defence of his
life and escaped through a thicket at the
rear of the house. He was chased all around
over YaZoo county and finally made his
way to Rankin, where he remained five or
six months, and then went to Madison
where he was captured by officers from
Jackson. The negro is resigned 10 his fate
and says he might just as well die now as
at any other time.

THE WESTERN CHRISTOPHER
Report just Made to the Asr.cu
tural Deua fmeUt

a Report Just Made to the Asr:cul-
turaI Department.
Every year, practically, since the we'll
remembered invasion of certain Western
States. particularly Kansas and Colorado.
by the Rocky Mountain locust or western
grasshopper, which occurred in the years
of 1874 to 1876, the Division of Entomology
of the Department of Agriculture has sent
an agent into the field in the Western
States each summer to study grasshopper
conditions for the purpose of enabling the
Department to predict, IL possible, fu-
ture invasion and to warn farmers well in
advance.
This annual trip of the present year
has just been completed and Special
AGENT Hunter has just reported to DR..
Howard. the entomologist of the Depart
ment. This years Investigations have
been of special interest on account Of a
slight outbreak of the locust in North
Dakota, and on account of an unusual
abundance of local migratory species
in different Western States. Moreover, a
rather large swarm was seen in flight in
early August, the exact settling point of
which it is now difficult to approximate.
Mr.. Hunter investigated the Turtle Noun
tain region in North Dakota and Montana
which had been reported as a probable
breeding ground of the destructive migra-
tory grasshopper. but found that it did
not breed permanently in that region nor
in that immediate vicinity, the ground
| being perfectly unsuited TO breeding. He
also reported that swarms descending
farther east had been traced 10 the nort h.
east of that place and suggests that the
probable breeding ground is upon the AS
! ir;h Asy3A iyar nd 80
| a region which will be investigated next
season.

advanced by the committee two years ago
all the labor bodies rose in protest, and
the aldermen were forced to retreat from
their position. they even having gone Sc
