Illinois Central to Expend Thirteen NIL.
lions For Improvements in Service.
NEW YORK, July Sat the meeting
of the board of directors of the Illinois
Central Railroad, held here today, it
was decided to recommend to the
stockholders for action at the annual
meeting, October 1, an increase of the
capital by the issue of $13,200,000 in
stock. If this proposition should be
favorably acted upon by the stockhold-
ers, it will entitle each stakeholder
registered on the books on October 81
to subscribe at par for one share of
the new stock in respect to every five
shares so registered on the books in his
name, and the capital which now
amounts to $66,OOO,O0O, will be in
creased to $79,200,0OO. This step, it
was announced, was taken in view of
the steady and large increase in the
revenue and in view of the fact that
although there have been expended
during the year ended June 80, 1901,
for improvements in service $6,000,000,
the facilities of the company are still
OVertaXed.

FOREIGN WHEAT CROP.
England and France Below the Mark, Bu
Spain and Italy VIII Reap Mag
nificent Harvest.


LONDON, July 8.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press in its weekly crop review today
says it is doubtful if the recent rains
will effect great transformations in
the wheat crop of England 1t thinks
the yield may reach an average of 28A
bushels per acre.
The Express considers that the en-
HANGED price and big weekly market in
Paris furnishes evidence that the
French farmers consider the govern
ment estimate as being quite 10 per
cent. too high. The agricultural press
puts the yield at 100000 quarters,
100000 quarters below the govern
ment estimate.
Spain is reaping a magnificent harv.
est, estimated at 12,500,000 quarters.
The Italian harvest promises to
reach the full average and the Rouman-
ian harvest is estimated at 100000
quarters, leaving 100000 available for
export.
The spring wheat crop in Russia is
less promising. In several provinces
the winter wheat crop, however, is
splendid, according to the moderate
standard prevailing. Their rye will
make an excellent harvest. The other
autumn sown crops are all above the
average, but the spring barley and oats
are below par.

trouble
Probable Oil Find.

Considerable excitement has develop
ed in the neighborhood of Darden,
owing to the surface indications of oil
found. After each rain the water that
remains in the drainage gulley
through town shows quite a coat of
oil, which is evidently petroleum. The
old Inhabitants say that coal has been
found in thin layers in boring for
wells near there, and that these city
indications have been noted for many
years though no attention was directed
to them until the reports of finding oil
in Overton and Fentress counties call
ed attention to the fact that oil might
exist IN other parts of the State.

Capt. Lucas, who was at Columbia

CHAPTER XVI.

A solemn assemblage was that at
the Ermita quarters of the provost
guard the following day. Officers of
rank and soldiers from the ranks, in
rusty blue. in cleaning white, in
dingy khaki, rubbed shoulders and
elbows in the crowded courtyard.
In the presence of death the Amer
lean remembers that men are born
equal and forgets the ceremonious
observance of military courtesies. All
voices were lowered, all discussion
hushed. There was q spontaneous
movement when the division COM
mander entered and all made way
for him without a word, but stur-
Oily stood the rank and file and held
their ground against all others, for
the preliminary examination, as it
might be called, was to take place
at ten o'clock.
The dead man was of their own
grade. and an ugly story had gone
like wildfire through the barracks
and quarters that his slayer was a
commissioned officer, an aid-de-
camp of the general himself, a scion
of distinguished and wealthy fam
lily of the greatest city of America,
and all official influence, presumably.
would be enlisted in his behalf.
Therefore, silent, yet determined,
were they present in strong force,
not in disrespect, not in defiance, but
with that calm yet indomitable reso-
luton to see for themselves that JUS
tice was done, that soldiers of no
other than the Anglo-Saxon race
could ever initiate, or that officers
not American could ever understand.

The dead man had died instantly,
not in the flush and glory of battle,
but in the lonely, yet most honor
able, discharge of the sacred duty of
the sentinel. Murder most foul was
his, and had he been well-nigh a
pariah among them-a man set apart
from his kind-the impulse of his fell
to it that his death at such a time
and on such a duty went not avenged.
