citing chase for a negro desperate in
Western Florida, a negro detective was
shot and killed and two of the citi-

of $500 for the negro and a negro de-
tective from Montgomery had been
employed by the sheriff of Geneva,
Ala, to assist in the capture. An in
dependent posse hearing that the muir
derer had been located near Westville,
preceded the sheriff's posse and the
negro who was playing the. part OF
friend with the negro, left the house
to join his party. He was taken for
the man wanted by the authorities
and shot dead. The murderer then es-
capped, and during the remaining two
days two of the sheriff's party were

exclusive and perpetual franchise

the Fargo Edison company from erect

that effect until the case could be heard

lasting about forty years the yards
are nov over supplied with orders.
1t is practically impossible to place

American vessels carried nearly 81
per cent of the sea commerce of this
country. Four years later they car
ried only 27.5 per cent. After the war
there was slight gain until 1870.
when the percentage of American
commerce carried in American vessels
reached maximum of 35.6. BY 1890
it had fallen to 1873 per cent, and
during 1899 it was 1 points lower.

5000. although the tonnage has risen
slightly. Last year four times as
heavy a tonnage of foreign as of
American vessels entered United

One great reason why ship-building
did not revive after the civil war was
the fact that the period of railway de-

building was an old industry and the
profits were small. Railroad extension
