Coal Strikers in Ugly Mood
Cut Trolley Poles to Prevent
transportation of Troops. Sit
uation is Serious.

Iamaqua, Pa, Aug. 27.-The
striking miners in the Panther
Greek valley are in a very ugly
mood. Several poles of the troll
ley line which runs from this place
to Summit Hill were chopped
down today and the wires were
cut. This was Probably done to
prevent troops from being taken
from Manila park, where they are
encamped, to Landsford and Sum
NIT Hill.
Major Gearhart outwitted the
strikers by taking two companies
of soldiers to Summit Hill before
they expected him. In Lansford,
Summit Hill and Coald ,le de-
tachments Of soldiers who we're
sent out to preserve order and to
protect the non>union men were
greeted by large crowds of strik-
ers, who hooted and called them
names.
AT Coaldale the soldiers were
compelled to get off the trains
and force the mobs back from the
tracks. In Lansford a crowd of
women joined in hooting the
guardsmeu. Major Gearhardt
admitted that the situation was
serious. He would not say wheth
er he. would request reinforce
ments.

A Family Of Suicides.

Coroner Green yesterday held
an inquest over the body of Bes.
sic Code, colorei, who died Mon
day night from the effects of NOR
phine poisoning. The verdict of
the jury was that she came to her
death from an overdose of NOR
phine administered by her own
hand.
1t was q case of suicide. She
bad attempted once before to kill
herself. Just a few weeks ago
Eugene Code, her brother, took
his own life. Suicides among
negroes were unknown until a
few years ago.-The State, 9th.

1t Was a Whiskey Murder.

Tifton, Ga, August 6.-The
coroner't jury, after an all-dsy
session investigating the death of
Hillman Paulk, wealthy farmer
found dead and mutilated in tho
rosa near here Sunday, returned
a verdict of death at the hands Of
Mack D. Paulk, his brother, who
is in Jail.
During the day a citizens mass
meeting was held to consider the
death of Paulk and the matter of
illegal liquor shops. There were
threats of summary justice for the
accused and it was agreed that the
''blind tiger" keepers would have
to get out Immediately or take the
consequences. Public indignation
is at fever heat, almost rs much
against the whiskey dealers as
against Paulk, and there may be
trouble.

the general Improvement cf grow
ing crops, due largely to the
spread of rust that stopped fur
ther growth, and caused shedding
and premature opening, although
on clayey s.ls there is "a new
growth that continues to bloom
and fruit. The outlook for
large top crop is not promising,
except on low spots where there
has been plenty of moisture
throughout the season. On sandy
,uplands the plants have put on all
the fruit they will do, and are
now dying. Cotton is opening
rapidly over the whole State.
Some correspondents report near
ly half the bolls open. Picking is
actively under way in all sections,
but showers and extreme heat IN
terferred ut time es with this work.
In places open cotton was damag-
cd by the heavy rains and high
winds. The crop ranges from poor
to very good; and this diversity
IN condition exists in all portions
of the State, and even in the same
townships. The season as n whole
is earlier than the average.
Peas, sweet potatoes and corn
improved. Rice is ripening and
harvest has begun in small
way.

Leg Cut OF While He Slept.

Brunswick, Ca, Aug. 26 =
Clemson Wallace, negro, was
found asleep near the Brunswick
and Birmingham railroad track at
an early hour this morning with
one OF his legs entirely severed
from his body.
Just how the accident occurred
is not known, as there we're no
witnesses, and the man was una
BILE himself to say, but 1T is gem
orally thought that he was intoxl-
Gated and went asleep on lum-
Der pile only a few feet from the
track, stretching his leg across
the track, and that Brunswick
and Birmingham passenger train
ran over it. None Of the train
crew saw the negro when the
train passed and did not know the
accident had occurred until he
was found.
When the man was found he
was fast asleep. with the leg cut
of as if with an axe, and the ac-
cident evidently did not awaken
him from his slu nher. He was
taken to his home and the wound
was dressed: He received no
other injury about the body.

Thoughts for Farmers.

Does subsoil;ng pay the farmerl
The question would be answered
eyes" and ono" according TO
the soil. the time of year and the
quality of top soil. Red clay top
soil with red clay hard pan will
be little benefited by subscribing,
for the clay will run together
when the first big rain comes,
A close sandy soil, poor in hu-
mus, will be little benefited by
suhsoiling. But any land, with
four to six inches of top soil,
with considerable amount of
stubble or humus in it, will be
greatly benefited by subsoiling.
If about two inches Of the hard
pan are broken and mixed with
the top soil it is soon assimilated,
the soil is deepened and the phos
phoric acid and potash stored in
the hard pan brought into soluble
condition. The only object in
subsoilipg is to deepen the soil and
render the underlying stratum of
clay porous, so that the surplus
water will be stored up for dry
weather. Subsoiling to advantage
goos along with rotation of crops,
tie sowing of peas clover or other
leguminous crops. The best time
of year to subsoil land is October
to April. Both the clay and top
soil should be dry enough to
crumble easily. 1t should never
be wet enough to be sticky. There
are two-horse subsoil plows that
do good work. One man and
two mules will subsoil an acre a
day. Another good plan is to use
a one horse turn plow or a half
shovel, if the top soil is shallow
and fellow with tongue plow in
same turrow. That requires two
hands, but it does good work. If
the stubble is rank then two
horse turn plow could be used
which should be followed with a
tongue plow. SubsoiIlng is the
process used by nature in restor-
ing worn out soils. That is lust
what the roots of old field pines,
peas and clover does.

triple Tradgedy In New York
Christian Cans, Government
Tailor, Shoots woman and
Her Companion and Kills
Himself.

New York, Aug. 81. Lizzie
Otto, formerly of Stroudsburg,
Pa; Archer Campbell, of this
city, md Christian Cans, govern
ment tailor at Fort Hancock, are
dead, as the result of a tragedy
which took place to day in the
apartments of the woman in East
Twenty fifth street, where she was
known as Lizzie Hall. The wo
man and Campbell, it is believed,
died almost instantly. Cans died
in Rellevue Hospital to- night. 1t
is said by the police that Cans
shot the woman and Campbell
because be objected to the pres
enco of the latter there. Then
he fred bullet into the base of
his brain, striking the spinal cord.
The following, dated New York,
August 26, 1902, was found in
one of Cans pockets, by the cor
oner:
''This woman has ruined nv
life and l hope God will forgive
me for what am going 10 do.
And l am not sorry for what am
going to do. Goodbye to all
CHRISTIAN CANS"
The Otto woman lived in three
small rooms in the rear of the first
floor of the house, which is large
tenement. Her almost nude body
was found on the floor of the bed
room with bullet hole through
her heart. Campbell's body, full.
ly dressed, and also shot through
the heat, was lying beside that
of the woman. Cans lay dying
in the same room, a bullet having
entered the base of the brain and
shattered the spinal column.
According to the tenants in the
house the two men entered the
woman $ apartment this morning
and sounds of quarrelling we're
heard soon after.

Weather and Crops.
Weekly Report of the Agricul
tural Department IN Wash
ington.

Washington, August 6.-The
agricultural departments weekly
summary of crops conditions says:
AS a whole, the weather con-
ditions east of the Rocky Noun
tains have not been favorable, be-
ing too cool in the northern dis
tricts eastward of the Missouri
Valley, with too much moisture
in portions of the Central valleys
while excessively hot in the South
ern States, with drought of
greater or less severity generally
throughout the cotton belt.
Corn is greatly in need Of
warm, dry weather throughout
the northern portion of the corn
belt, where the abnormally cool
weather of the past two weeks
has greatly retarded the maturity.
Over the southern portion of the
corn belt an excellent crop of ear
ly corn is now practically assured.
A decided deterioration in the
condition of cotton is reported
generally throughout the central
and western portions of the cotton
belt as we'll as over large part
OF the eastern districts. The most
favorable reports are from the
Carolinas. In North Carolina the
condition of the crop continues
very promising, although the
prevalence of rust is widespread.
On stiff soils in South Carolina
new growth is blooming and fruit
ing, but on sandy soils rust, she'd
ding and premature opening be-
ing general. In Texas the deter
ioration has been pronounced
and under most favorable condi-
tons yield in exces Of the aver
age is improbable.
The week has been very favor
able for cutting to bacco and the
crop has generally improved, al
though it will be short in Ken
lucky and portions of Tennessee,
Virginia and Maryland.

A Print He Forgot.

1t was in a small town up the state.
A young lawyer who was counsel for
the prisoner in a murder trial was cross
examining an old farmer, the chief wit
ness of the prosecution. The testimony
of the farmer went to show the time Mt
which he saw the accused pass a field
where he was working.
Now, my man." he commenced, you
declare that you saw the prisoner pass
your potato field at IL o'clock. How
did you know it was II o'clock
''IIind of innard feelin' that it was
dinner time" drawled the old farmer.

gin pertaters. But when 1 got home
an hour later it was half past by the

The young lawyer did not wait to
hear more. He turned to the jury ana
began, Gentlemen of the jury, you
have heard what this old gentleman
has said in regard to the time, and
"Say, mister" interrupted the farm
err, 81 forgot to tell you that the kitchen
clock has been at half past for the
