A BLACK MAN AND HIS PISTOL.
HUNS Amuck Shooting Mt Everybody
in SiEht-Is Himself Shot
to Death.

Macon, Ga, Jan. 23.-Two negroes
were shot to death and two white men
desperately wounded, as the result OF
an attempt to arrest a negro murderer
here yesterday.
j. H. Butler, colored, is the man who
did the most of the shooting, and who
was himself shot to death. His VIC
Tins were Armstrong Bryant, colored,
shot through the heart and instantly
killed; r. Seltman, white, shot through
the stomach and will probably die, ard
John Reed, white, shot in the neck, and
in :; precarious condition.
Rutler threatened 1o kill a negro
woman, and when Policeman Pearce at
tempted t o arrest him began to shoot.
The negro ran up Fourth street, one of
the busiest in Macon, pistol in hand,
shooting at everybody in sight. His
first victim was Seltman, then Bryant
and last Reed fell beneath his aim. The
sound of the shooting attracted a num-
Der of policemen, and Is citizens. When
Butler fell, wounded, five policemen
and Is citizens were shooting
az him. Three heavy pistol
bullets went completely through his
body, and there were other wounds.
Butter came to Georgia from North
Carolina eight years ago, and was EN-
picyed on a south Georgia turpentine
farm. 1t is said that about a year ago
he killed two negroes at Pinehurst, Ga.

MISSOURI VERSUS ILLINOIS.
Summons Against the state of ILL.,
nOis Returnabie in the Su-
premc Court April 2.

Washington, Jan. 23.-In the case OF
the State of Missouri VS.. the State of
Illinois, involving the petition for an
il, junction against the Chicago drain
age canal, the United States court de-
cided to permit the attorney general OF
Missouri to file his bill, making the
to the defendants returnable
on April 2.
In connection with this decision, Mr..
B. Schumacher, representing the
state of Missouri, asked for a tempo
rary restraining order against the Chi
cage drainage district prohibiting the
operation of the canal during the
tendency of the proceedings in this
court. He said the canal had been
opened since the proceedings had be-
gun here, and with the full knowledge
of the proceeding.
In reply, Chief Justice Fuller said
that it was impossible for the supreme
court to exercise original jurisdiction
in a suit between states without giving
notice; that 60 days were required for
q retarn, and that nothing could be
done before the date upon which the
service was made returnable in the
main proceeding, viz: April 2.

PENSION
A Conference With the Pension
Committee of the House OF
Representatives.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Gen. Albert d.
Shaw, commandments of the G. a.
r., and the pension committee of that
organization. had a hearing before the
house committee on invalid pensions
on the pending bill to amend and make
clear the act of June 81, 1890. Gen.
Shaw spoke briefly, and the main ar
guments were made by Chairman p.
p. Brown, of GAINESVILLE, O., and Gen.
Daniel Z. Sickles, the old commander
OF the Third army corps. The princi-
pa. feature of the arguments was that
the law be made so clear as. to be be-
yond the possibility of misconstruc-
ticp. Some minor changes were pro-
posed in the Gallinger bill. In the
main, its provisions were approved as
giving the remedies desired. Gen.
Sickels added e. vigorous plea for ade.
quata attention by the government to
the veterans in their old age and in
frmities.

Ccvington, KY, Jan. ga conflict
OF Jurisdiction between a state court
and the United States court is immi-
nent here. Sheriff Boskees and Re
ceiver George Keefer were served with
a rule from Judge Evans. of the United
States court, requiring them to appear
before him in Louisville, Tuesday, to
show cause why they should not be
punished for contempt for forcibly
taking possession of Cavanaugh's drug
store, when it was in possession of a
United States officer. Cayanaugh, after
having his store attached by an order
from Judge Tarvin's court, filed a Pc
titiol in bankruptcy, and the referee
in bankruptcy ousted Judge Tarvin'a
receiver, Geogre Keefer. Judge Tarvin
then ordered Keefer to retake the
place, which he did with the help of
the sheriff. Now the United States
court proposes to settle the question
Of jurisdiction in Louisville.

More Petitions for Roads and ridge
than Can be Complied With.
Havana, Jan. 24.-Senor Nillalon,
secretary of public works, has issued
a request to all mayors to send de-
tails regarding the public works in
their municipal districts, together
with a statement of what is required
to be done and the reasons in support
Of their claims. He says he is receiv-
ing so many petitions for road and
bridge construction that all he can do
is t. apply the available funds in the
most urgent cases.
One reform contemplated is such an
alteration in the railway time tables
as will bring about n better connec
tional system, thus greatly reducing
the time now taken in travelling by
raj, in Cuba. For instance, the time
required now to go from Havana to
%Cienfuegos will be reduced two hours.
At a meeting of the Havana conven-
ton of the national party held yester-
day a resolution was adopted in favor
OF asking the provinces to proceed i'm
mediately to elect provincial delegates
to the national assembly in proportion
of one delegate to 10000 inhabitants.

london. JAM. 23.-The Daily Mail
has the following, dated Sunday night,
from Spearman's Camp:
There has been hoSfghting all day.
A. dawn our attack was resumed along
the entire line, all the brigades taking
part. We soon discovered b a the
Beers still occupied the range OF hills
in force, their position being very
strong. The range is intersected by
steep ravines and many approaches
very difficult of access.
"To-day the Beers who were driven
from their trenches yesterday took
cover in dongas and behind the rocks
with which the hills are strewn. The
forces, therefore, commenced the task
of driving them out, and set to work
with good heart in the early morning.
Much firing took place, and our prog
ress was slow, but gradually British
pluck told its tale, and the enemy fell
back to another kopie. We swarmed
OH and occupied it, and then the attack
recommended with the utmost gallant.
ry
"The country simply abounds in hills
favorable to guerrilla warfare, and
our task is an arduous one. Neverthe-
less, it is being gradually accomplished.
Whenever any of the enemy were OBJ
served taking up a fresh position our
field batteries poured in showers OF
shrapnel, and the rapid movement of
the guns, followed by accurate shoot
ing must have greatly distressed them.
"The enemy were on the defensive
almost the entire day, save once, when
they attempted to outflank our left,
and were signally checkmated. They
relied almost entirely on rifle fire. A
few shells were fired from a heavy
| piece of ordnance, but these fell harm
less. We now occupy the lower crest
OH the left, and are ~converging slow
ly, but surely. to the Boer center.
The Boer loss is unknown, but must
have been heavy. The killed and wound
ed are carried away to the rear rapid
ly. Strong rumors are in circulation
that the Beers are retiring. The battle
will be resumed tomorrow"

Casilda, Province of Santa Clara,
Cul,n. Jan. 24-Gov.-Gen. Wood AID his
party arrived here on board h dis
patch boat Ingalls, at daylight yester-
day morning. Later the general visited
Trinidad and inspected the Jail, hos
pitfalls and other public buildings at
that place. He visited the post of Com
pany X, Second infantry, under the
con mand of Capt. Benham. whom Gen.
Wood complimented upon the manner
in which the Jail. hospitals and streets
had been kept clean.
\ noticeable feature of the province
WIS the lack of public work. Gen.
Wood does not believe in the advisa-
bility of supplying the people with
oxen and farming implements. think
ing it better to supply them as much
us possible with public work and al
low them to save money and buy the
necessary implements and oxen. The
general is in favor of making the peo-
pie more self-reliant, and he thinks
this plan is the best way to do it.
Gen. Wood says that the prison at
Cienfuegos was overcrowded. Other
wise it was in good condition. He is
of the opinion that the hospitals arc
dirty and that many improvements can
be made.
\ road is being built between Casil.
da and Trinidad, four miles, but il
gives employment to a few men only.
The party left here yesterday after
noon for ManZanillo.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Feed SO as to make the most out OF
the feed, as well as the most out of the
stock.
1t is cheaper to kill and cure sufi-
cient meat now than to buy next spring
or summer.
AS soon as the ground freezes hard
apply more covering to the fruit and
vegetable pits.
After an animal is reasonably well
fattened the lighter feeding usually be-
comes less profitable.
A lot of stock uniform as to size, col
or, weight and form will bring better
prices than 4 mixed lot.
1t is not the mount the stocl: sells
for, but the amount of profit derived
that counts to the farmer.
The team that is expected to do the
hauling during the winter should be
well shod, and should have good blan-
kets to protect them at any time they
may be left standing in the cold.-N.J

LIFTING WEAK HORSES.
Many a Valuable Animals Life Can
BE Saved by Pursuing the Plan
Here Outlined.

Ii often happens in every community.
II not on every farm, that through'dis-
ease or accident, a horse becomes I'M
able to get on its feet when down, or
stand for any time when lifted or
helped up. For animals in this condi-
ton, convalescence is always slow,
even when the animal recover at all.
Many bad sprains or even a break that
has ruined a horse might have been
cured if this or some other method OF
relieving the limb of the weight of the
body had been used.
Take a number of thicknesses of bur-
lap or gunny sacking, as it is often
called, folded so that it will be about
Is to IS inches wide and about five feet
,ong. AS this is to bear the weight of
the horse, there should be enough to
insure strength to bear all the strain
put upon it. Knot each end to a strong
rope. If it is in a stall, fasten a pulley
block to a beam above, through which
run the rope, after having placed the
burlap under the horse, just back OF
his front legs. Spread the burlap to its
extreme width, SO hat the weight will
be distributed over a larger surface.
Two men can now handle the horse
easily. If the horse is unable to stand,
lift him just high enough so that his
feet may rest firmly on the ground, and
at the same time he can rest by letting
his weight be borne by a swing. He
will soon learn to let himself rest in
this way, so there will be no danger
of ovcrtaxing weak muscles. We saved
a valuable animal in this way after ii
had been ''on the lift" for two months

Philadelphia, Jan. 24.-Wu Tung
Fang. Chinese minister, was the guest
of honor at the monthly dinner of the
Presbyterian Social union of this city
last night. The Chinese minister did
make any extended remarks, and
spoke entirely On the Chinese exclu-
sim laws. He deplored that such laws
were in force against his countrymen.
and said that they were contrary to
the maxim of the law hat a man is in
nncent until he is proven otherwise.
But, l regret TO say" he continued,
that the opinion prevails that a China
ms, is a rascal until he has proved his
respectability.

Requirements.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 23.-The final
builders trip of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Goldsborough was made on the
Columbia river, Sunday. The result
was so satisfactory that it has been
thought unnecessary to make another
builders trial. The machinery worked
IA absolutely perfect ORDER. The boat
started with $50 pounds of steam pres
sure, and for n time made 405 revolu-
tiops. This is As revolutions more
than is required to make 90 knots. The
average speed ranged from "a to Scks
knots. The Goldsborough returned to
the city in the evening. The trial
trip will probably take place on
Puget sound, under the direction of
the United States navy department, in
about Is days.

The public schools of a certain New Eng
land city have recently taken to an exact
ing form of art. The pupils are placed be-
fore a model and told to sketch as they see.
One day a little girl was seated on a chair on
the platform, and her classmates were gwen
the usual order. The results varied. Some
of the drawings looked like a human being
in a state of repose, others like wooden dolls;
But one little girl had drawn the chair and
a tiny figure standing in front of it. -

"didn't 1 say: Draw Amelia as you saw
herr"
"Yes'm."
"Well, is she standing in front of the
chair"
Nom. She's sitting in it."
"Then why didn't you draw her sitting?!"
Tears came into the child's eyes. She was
misunderstood.
"But l hadn't got to it," she said. 81 was
lust going to bend her down when you rang
the bell."-Youth's Companion.

How to Feed Corn Fodder.

The old way of feeding corn fodder
should give way to the new as fast
as men a afford to invest in fodder
cutters and shredders. By the old
way, waste was encouraged. The large
ends of the stalks were uneaten and
had to be East out as rubbish. They
were not even fit to be used for bed
ding. Where shredding is possible
these same stalks are not only rem.
dered fit for the cows to eat, but if, oy
chance, anything be left, it il suitable
for bedding.-Farmers' Review.

Washington. Jan. 23.-Both h
state and the interior departments au-
thorize the most sweeping denial OF
the story that Webster Davis. assist
mt secretary of the interior, is clothed
with any diplomatic mission. IT is de-
clared that he represents no DEPART
ment of the United States govern
ment in his visit to South Africa, but
is there in a personal capacity. Since
his arrival at Cape Town, where he
went to visit his cousin, Consul Gem
eral Stowe, the state department has
been very much annoyed at the mis-
construction that has been placed up
on his visit. It was to prevent further
misunderstanding on that score that
the department positively declined MIR.
Davis application for leave of alb
sence for Mr.. Stowe, who wished to ac-
company Mr.. Davis to Pretoria. If MI.
Davis visi. had not been purely per-
sonal. it is very likely that he would
have been also enjoined from pro-
ceeding to Pretoria, for it is articI-
cated that Misrepresentation as To his
purpose would be drawn. 1t is even
now possible that he will receive a re-
minder from the interior department
that his course is embarrassing to the
government.
The state department has sent no
Instructions to Mr.. Macrum respecting
his attitude toward the newspapers
since his departure from Pretoria for
! the United States. In fact, 1t Is SAID
that the department has no authority
whatever over Mr.. Macrum, who has
p,ssed out of the government service.
