Before a Higher Court

A. j. Coffrin, the principal witness in the
highway robbery case OF State against
George LABEL and Henry Gabree, which
was to have been tried last week in Wash
iDgton county court, was found dead Thurs
day morning in a barn in Eden.
Coffin had made States Attorney Hoar
and other officers Of the court a great deal
of trouble. He was subpG lead before the
grand jury and refused to obey the sum-
mons. A bench warrant was issued and
he was brought in and obliged to testify.
He had been summoned to be here early
last week, and as he had not put in an ap.
pearance another bench warrant was issued
and an officer was searching for him when
his dead body was found.
Coffrin was very unwilling witness be-
fore the grand jury, in fact told States At
torney Hoar that he was afraid to testify
against LABEL and Gabree. Report comes
from Eden that he stated there he had been
offered 500 to keep out of the way and not
appear here in court against said respond
ents. He was the man that LABEL and Ga
bree are accused Of robbng and his appar-
ent dread of facing his alleged assaianis is
somewhat mysterious. With the principal
witness dead, il is uncertain what disposi-
ton will be made of the case.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 15.-In a
four-sided shooting affair which oc.
Cured in Marion county, near here,
last night, John G. Sellers, promi-
nent farmer, was shot through the
body and left arm, and bis son, Ben
Sellers, was shot in the abdomen. j.
d. Hazeldon, member of the State
board of liquor control, was wounded
in the leg, and his brother in.law, DIR.
II. A. Edwards, was shot in the chest.
The cause of the trouble is said to be
that Hazeldon accused Sellers of writ
ing defamatory articles concerning Ha-
zelden's official and private life. The
wounds of the two Sellers may prove
fatal.

AGRICULTURAL.
Fall Flowing Against Insects.

In his fight against various insect pests
the value of good deep ploughing late
in the fall is always worthy the serious
consideration of the practical farmer.
1t is one of the best methods of de-
stroying several of our most widespread
and destructive insects. 1t does not
affect all alike, however. Some insects
will be destroyed in this manner by
having the cells in which they have
gone TO pass the winter broken up, and
being thrown up to the surface they
will be killed by the weather before
they again provide themselves with
winter quarters. Among these are
those which hibernate as larv@, and
those which pass it in The pup3l or
chrysalid stage, Among the former
may be mentioned the cutworms and
the cornstalk or sugar cane borer larva
or those passing the winter as pupG
the wireworms are good examples.
They go into the pupal stage in the
fall, and this method of breaking up
the pupal cells is practically the only
way of combating them, and none too
good at that. The squash vine borer
also passes through the winter as a
pupa, and may be largely destroyed by
breaking up the cells.
But whereas some insects are des-
troyed by exposing them on the sur
face, others may be literally buried
alive, and thus killed One of the best
instances of the value of fall ploughing
in this way is in the destruction of
grasshoppers' eggs. If they be turned
under to the depth of five or six inches
after they are laid in the fall the young
Matching from them in the spring will
be utterly unable to regain the surface,
and are thus smothered to death. 9th
er insects which pass the winter in the
pupal stage, but whose pure are en-
cased in a tough cell not easily broken
open, may also be killed by being turn
ed under in this manner. In fact,
even adult insects may be so handled.
After the plants are all thrown out OF
the ground in November the adults of
the Mexican cotton boil weevil can be
readily caught in this way aud plough
ed under SO deeply that they will never
regain the surface. Young gra shop
pers are also destroyed in a similar
manner just after they have emerged
from the egg in tie spring.
1t is homely, common sense meth
cd, but with a correct understanding of
their life histories may be used to good
advantage against many of our most
common and injurious insects.-Farm
and Preside.

Crossed and Thoroughbred Hogs.

1t is natural that the offspring of
pigs brought up under adverse circum-
stances should be more hardy than
those which are carefully bred. The
real value of thoroughbreds can be
classed differently. One might be
raising thoroughbreds for the butcher,
another might be raising for distribut.
ing breeders to all parts. But we find
it very good and profitable method to
do both. If You can so arrange your
SOW as to be supplied at all times with
pigs of all ages, first weed out the litter
and those marked well and suitable for
breeders, and dispose of such, which
can very easily be done if bred of first
class stock. The remainder of the lit
ter fatten for the butcher.
Another safe rule for those who raise
for the butcher is to crossbreed, if room
permits. Take good grade or common
sows, and breed only to thoroughbred
bears. A grade hog may look just as
well, perhaps even better, but he is
wholly unfit for breeding purposes.
Not only should the boar be purely
bred, but should be good repre-
sentative of the breed to which he be-
longs. There is a vast difference in
thoroughbreds and only the finest
should be used. If you pick out COM
mon sows for crossbreeding, be careful
you don't choose razorback. II you
do, you can never expect squarely built
pigs. A bunch of razorbacks are much
more difficult to fatten than hogs of
COOK shapes. When ready to market
they will not sell as well.-American

Tidal Wave in Japan.

VICTORIA, B. c.. Nov. 16. 49, The
steamer Empress Of Japan, which ar
rived today, brings details of the tidal
wave at Shidouska, Japan. 1t swept
in between the banks of the river
Sunkazwa, with almost incredible rap
idity, carried off fifty houses and
drowned seveniy-eight inmates. Hun
dreds OF other houses we're submerged.
The wave attained height of about
thirty five feet. On the same day of
the tidal wave Japan experienced the
most severe typboon which has visited
the country in many years Hundreds
of houses in different parts of Japan
were wrecked and several steamships
and dozens of native craft foundered.
A heavily laden passenger train was
blown from bridge near Utsomya,
into the Hoki river, which was swollen
by heavy rains, The train consisted
of locomotive, three break vans, one
first class car, two second clase and
three third class cars. Fifty passen.
gers are believed to have been
drowned and twenty bodies have al.
ready been recovered. or the saved
thirty were severely injured.

Vermont News,

Burglars entered the general store of w.
p. Madison at South SALISBURY early Tues
day morning The post Office Is located in
this store. Entrance was effected by pry.
ing open rear door. The burglars drilled
into the front door of the safe which was
blown completely off but were unable to
make any impression on the inside steel
door which showed the marks Of their tools.
The noise OF the explosion was heard By
neighbors but they paid no attention to it,
although the safe has been blown open
three times in as many years. The contents
were left intact. The burglars took two
dollars from the money drawer, three pairs
OF shoes and opened every letter that was
in the Office and threw them on the floor
Two deputy sherffs started after the burg
lars, four in number, overtaking them at
Johnsonville, N. Y. The burglars did not
propose to be taken and quite battle en-
sued. The burglars were armed and so
were the officers. The latter used shotguns
that they had and two of the robbers were
wounded before they were taken and one
succeeded in escaping. AS they were in
New York State the prisoners were taken
to Troy and lodged in Jail there.

seriously injured. II is uncertain whether
he will be able to retain the sight OF one or
either of them. He was taken to the Mary
Fletcher hospital in the afternoon. Burns
