 The four men are: Ashley Cooke. a prominent business man of Cleveland; A. M. Phipps, postmaster at Shelby; Thomas Lauderdale, said to be a relative of Phipps, and a man named Blackman, residence unknown.
 The men went from Shelby to Leland early last night. At Leland. 1t Is said, they spent several hours drinking and carousing. At a. m. the men boarded the northbound train to return to Shelby. J. NJ.

At this point Cooke and his friends boarded the car. Cooke had revolver, and Lauderdale and Blackman had Win chester rifles. Phipps was not armed.
 Walking up the aisle, Phipps was in advance of the party, when he came in contact with. Rhea's legs, which were ex- tended Into the aisle as he slept. Rhea was awakened and inquired what was stood there and discussed the situation tette went to the end out on the platform. Very soon they returned and going up to Rhea, told him that they could not all stay in the same car and that he would have to get out.
 Rhea remarked that in order to prevent trouble he would have to do as they told him. ThereIpon he started out of the car. He had just reached the door when 1t is claimed the menSopened fire upon him. He fell where he stood.
 Conductor George Mclaughlin ordered the train bac< to Leland, there to leave the corpse. As soon as Leland was reached, the conductor went in search of the sheriff and peace officers.
 In the meantime, the quartette had not been idle. They had driven everybody out of the smoker and the adjacent car during the run back to Leland. and when they arrived at that place they went to the engine. aboard of which was En- gineer Delanky. They covered him with guns and tdd him if he did not obey their commands they would kill him. He

They were taken to Shelby and placed in jail

 ton of the Amasea.

Mexico City, Dec. 30.--At this fnerning's c session of the Pan-American Conference. General RaefeI Reyes of Colombia read a description of his explorations In the Afnason region of South America It was stated that this report had been present. cd at the suggestion of President Rooss. welt, who took special interest in the exs petitions of Reyes and his two brothers. one of whom died from fever and the other was devoured by cannibais.
 Laxo ArriGa of Guatemala presented c resolution asking the conference to in. terest itself in the price of coffee, with . view to its regulation. He said that pc. riodieal unheavais of the coffee market were c cause Of economical and political disturbances. and even revolutions in the Central American republics. and he thought the conference could Ind rem. edy.
 The proposal of the late Duarse Pisrra, delegate of Brasil, for the appointment of q committee of jurists to codify the public and private international law of the Americas, was then taken up. The amendment of Mir. Leger of Hayti, to the effect that European Governments be iri- vited to share in this work, was voted down. In his remarks, the support of his motion, he said, could not understand the object of the persistent exclusion of Europe, whose experience and Assistance ought not to be overlooked. But In the voting, Mir. Leger proved to be the only delegate favoring the interference of Bu. rope in this matter.
 Mfr. LeEer was combatted fn Q strong speech by Mir. LaBarra of Mexico. He said that the conference and t1D work must remain pan.Americatl.

 TAA~SA@eM~a Vafa& ANMN0-
 Washington, Dec. 3o.--The underStano- ing here ls that the following countries participating in the Pan'-Anaeriean Con- gress are favorable to arbitration accord. ing to The Hague plan, namely, the United States, Mexico, Chile. Colombia, EQduador, Hayti, Nicaragua, Salvador Costa Rica and Honduras. There is some doubt as to Brasil and Guatemala, but the latter is expected to join the other Central American countries in favor of non-compulsory arbitration.
 The countries which may sign an Inde. pendent convention for compulsory arbi. tration are: Argentina, venestela Santa Domingo, Peru, Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay. !. That Venezuela should favor compul- sory arbitration causes some surprise here, but 1t is said to be due to President Castro's desire to force the Colombian controversy to arbitration. The position of Santa Domingo grows out of her boundary difficulty with Hayti. This was referred to the Pope, but as satisfactory progress has not been made. Santa Domingo now wants compulsory arbitra' ton. tt
 In case The Hague convention is ac. cepted as the basis of agreement it will provide a means and moral Influence for adjusting various dificulties by arbi' tration and yet each country will be Jeff free to determine whether arbitration shall be applied to any case in which 1t Is concerned.

Do People Want Abridged Editionsp

Some readers approve Of abridged edi- tions of famous works. A London pub lisher announces an abridged edition of sell. for 1t is unlike that the astute pub fisher has risked his capital on a com plcte uncertainty. It speaks well for the rather studious attitude of the American reading public, however. that they gen eraliy require extended rather than abridged editions of works of value Take. for instance, the Thistle Edition of the Waveriey Novels. published by the Harpers. which sells as steadily as clock work. IL Is Scott's own edition ot 1S29 with all the dignity of Sir Walters Gen eral Preface. the copious introductory mo- tices. the complete glossary. and more than two thousand Illustrations. whIsh convey much curious information regard ing the customs and manners of the times, and the antiquarian lore which so enriches all the works of the great mas ter Of fiction.

WIRE GRASS AND IT'S USES.

We have an inquiry from Oregon for
some further information as to the
commercial uses of wire grass. The
grass referred to is the tough and wiry
product of the great peat sloughs of
the northwest, q grass which has no
value as fodder and which is rarely
ever cut foi hay. This grass is made
up of tough and fibrous growth which
was found a few years ago to have a
great variety of uses when properly
manipulated and manufactured. From
it is now made very serviceable Irvine
and cordage; it is woven into durable
mating of a hundred kinds; it is used
for many forms of wickerwork, such
as baskets, baby cabs, summer chairs
and an almost endless variety of things
which enter into daily use. We are
not advised as to whether the wire
grass of the Pacific coast is of the
same kind as that which is common to
the northwest. This grass. heretofore
worthless. has. because of its new uses,
from being the most utterly worthless
product of the country where it is
found, become one of the most yalu-
able and commands high price when
cut at the proper season and baled for
shipment-about $12 to $15 per ton, we
are told. If our Oregon friend will send
us a specimen of the grass which is
there found we will be pleased to fur
ther advise him.

NEWTOWN PIPPIN CROSSBRED APPLES.
cellencies Of the Newtown was by re-
production from seed. Out of hundreds
of barrels he selected a peck of the
most perfect specimens, and from the
seeds of these he raised considerable
number of seedlings. In addition to
this he grated in the tops of some
Newtown trees Northern Spy Rhode
Island Greening, Russell and other va
rieties. These different kinds were al
lowed to grow together and cross fer
tilize naturally. In other cases artifi-
cial cross pollination was practiced.
Contrary to the theory held by many
that cross pollination has no direct in
fuence on the fruit, but only on its
seed, Mr.. Underhill soon noticed that
some of the Newtowns had clearly
marked characteristics of Northern
Spy, others of Rhode Island Greening
and still others of Russell. The seeds
of these characteristic specimens were
planted in nursery rows, where they
were left to grow without any special
care. Finally they were planted out
in poor. sandy land and left to them
selves. Two years ago several of them
produced their first fruit and the spec
linens illustrated herewith are from the
second crop.
The specimen on the left hand side in
the picture is Newtown Pippin- Green
ing, large, roundish apple, dull green,
core fairly open, like Greening; aromat-
ic and subacid flesh fairly fine textur-
ed and quality good. The fruit to the
right is Newtown ppin-Northern Spy.
1t resembles Northern Spy quite close
ly, though not as angular and lacking
its sprightly acidity. The top specimen
is Newtown English Russell. 1t closely
resembles Golden Russell, but is slight
ly smaller, with flesh fine grained, mild.
almost sweet. and quality very good.
All of them and most of the other va
rieties exhibited are excellent keepers
1t is this remarkable keeping quality
combined with attractive appearance,
good quality and size, which argues SO
favorably for the success of these prom
Using varieties.

The interest in Angora goats contin-
ues to grow and is extending into other
countries, says w. L. Black in Farm
and Ranch. The chief points to be OBJ
served is the character of the fleece,
which should be free from kemp"
coarse hair( and evenly distributed
over the body, chest and belly, measur-
ing from eight to ten inches in length.
Some animals have the lop ear, and
others have fox ears. This is altogether
matter of fancy, as well as the shape
of the horns, although the lop ear and
small horns are generally preferred.
The hair will often grow to be II to 10
inches in length, and there are some
instances of IS and 10 inches, though
this is not common. The longer the
hair is the better, as it can be made
use of for other purposes than making
cloth, and as an evidence of this am
authorized to pay so cents per pound
for all the II inch hair can purchase,
although the market value of ordinary
mohair this season is not more than
% cents Der DOllnd
