but awaiting her on the sidewalk. The change she gave to Miss Worrall
 Mrs Burr denied that she had influ- ence enough with MT Chipman to make him marry anyone she chose. but she thought she could induce him to marry d Mrs Hendricks had she tried. 1f she had thought he would prefer Mrs Hendricks she would have gone to Miss Worrall and told her what MT Chip man had said about marrying. He seemed to her ill q state of mind to marry anybody. She did not know of anybody ever trying to influence him in any way. She herself did not try to; she did not want to influence him. Mir Chipman's habits and manner Of living were then gone into. He arose mornings about 5:30 o'clock. worked aorund his barn Il while, then lad breakfast and went back to his barn again. He spent q good deal of lis time in his barn tinkering at one thing and another. Mrs Chipman was then recalled 10 the stand. She had tie bank books which at the last hearing she said she would not bring. NIr O'Neill took her through all of these books item for item. There were half q dozen of them and an account book They showed that he was strong Methodist; that anyone of that faith could make friends with him. Several transactions showed that he had loaned money to Methodists without any se- curity, some sums as high as S1000.
 Mir O'Neill asked Mrs Chipman if she was q Methodist, and she replied that she was now, but before she be- came Mrs Chipman she was an Epis- copalfan. This part of the examination was very tedious. One item showed a loan to well known builder. Mir O'Neill asked if he was a Methodist. Mr Williams objected and Mir O'Neill claimed the question to show that NIr chipman was easily, or could be easily Influenced by persons of that faith. The question was allowed and the an- swer was that she did not know that mans faith. There are half q dozen more witnesses to be examined.

Wife of One of The Men Found D q
 at 1:50 This Morning-An Occupant

 man Was Found Heard Something
 Fall Heavily to the Floor During the
 Night.

When Nor ton returned about l 80 he says he found his wife lying dead on the floor of Ter chamber.
 Although the police were yery re- ticent about the circumstances which led to the detention of Norton and Manion, it has been learned that a wo- man who occupies the downstairs ten ement at 16r James street, says that
 shortly after Norton reached home last night, she heard something fall heavily to the floor in the fiat above. Shortly after. she says. Norton came down stairs and asked her if she had any turpentine. Upon getting nega- tive answer, he went back to his own aparements. The police declined this morning to tell anything about the con- dition of the woman's body, saying that the matter is wholly in the hands of the coroner. At the coroner's office. l it was said nothing would be given out at the present stage of the inyesti- gation. From police sources. it was learned that three weeks ago Norton went to the Grand avenue police station at night and asked the officer to help him break into his house, saying that his wife was intoxicated, and refused tp admit him.

EULER WAS ALL TO BLAME

So Says Lord Roberts-Witnesses Be
 ing Brought From South Africa to
 Identify Colonel Lynch-This In
 Case He Should Decide to Take HIS
 Seat in Parliament to Which He
 Was Elected.
 London. April 17-All the official disnatches referring to the defeat sus- tainad bv the British troops under General Butler at Spion Kop, Natal fJanuary 24. 190Ol. were given out this morning. Those hitherto unpublished merely emphasize how hopelessly muddled were the preparations for that engagement. The controversy between General Butler and General Sir Charles Warren is proved to have been even more bitter than previously hinted at. while q new extract from one of Lord Roberts dispatches brings a general censure on General Fuller Lord Roberts declares that General Buffers endeavor to put the responsi- bility for the defeat on General War Ten was not justifiable. Roberts holds that 1t was Buffers duty to in- 
 ing wrong This remark was caused by a dispatch from Butler, in which he says:
 'l saw no attempt on the part Of Warren to either grapple with the sit nation or command his force himself. We lost our chance by Warren's slow ness. He seems to me to be q man who can do we'll what he can do him. T.,,f never employ him again on an indepen- dent command. I ought to have as- stunned command myself when I saw things were not going we'll I blame myself now for not doing so''
 Butler explains that he failed to supersede Warren because it might have discredited the latter with the { troops, which was an especially seri- l ous matter, as, if Butler had been shot, Warren would have succeeded to the supreme command.
 l The question of the responsibility i for the actual retreat from Spion Kop ! is shrouded in mass of dispatches, 1 proving that mistake was made in sending a heliogram and that there was q general desire to shirk the onus. Beyond this washing of dirty linen

April 17.-A1though there is no indication that Colonel Arthur Lynch, who formerly fought on the Boer side in the South African war, and who was elected to represent Gal way city in parliament in November last. has any intention of placing him. self within the reach of the British courts, the government is bringing wit nsss from South Africa in support of the charges of high treason brought against Colonel Lynch. Lewis Hand- ley. an American by birth, but nat uralized British subject and a farmer of the vicinity of Glencoe, Natal, land- ed in England this morning. He says Colonel Lynch was the leader of a Boer force, principally composed of Irishmen. which raided his farm in 1900 confiscated his stock and other movables and destroyed his crops.

AS TO DEEP FLOWING.

The old saying, "Plow deep while
sluggards sleep and you shall have
corn both to sell and to keep, !" is proved
by careful experiment to be only bali
a truth. So much depends upon til
character Of the subsoil, the season g
the year when the blowing is done. tho
crop to be planted and the previous
working of the field. Deep plowing n
the spring on most soils is positive
damage instead Of benefit and al
most ruinous if the crop consists Of any
Of the cereals. II we could start the
pillow in the stubble field early in Au-3
gust, we would set it down as deep AZ
three horses could pull It and only
then There is more chance for the exc
ercise Of good judgment in this mat
ter than most men think.

Observation-Disclosures

WE WOULD KEEP THE FARM.
He was a retired farmer, and when
we talked with him the other day hej
was trying to solve the problem Of
whether he had better accept an olfer
of $50 per acre for his 16O acre farm or
keep it. He said the farm would bring
him in cash rent of $3.50. 0ut Of
which he had to pay taxes. $50: insur-
ance, $40, and a repair account OF
about 500 per year, leaving him net
income Of $40, or 90 per cent per an-s
mum upon $14.4OO. II he sold the place.
and put the money at interest he.
would have difficulty In getting It into.
a safe per cent security; but. ASSUME.
ing that he was able to DO this, il
would figure this way: His interest I'M
come would be $7oO. AS be lived In q
country town where school and NUM-
cipal taxes were heavy, the tar rate
being 6 per cent ON one-fourth OF the
actual valuation Of property assessed.
he would have $216 to pay as taxes.
which deducted from lis interest In
come would leave him 1904 net. While;
this showing is in favor Of selling the
farm, there should not be overlooked
the risk taken in investing the money
and the chance that part Of the time
his capital might not be in use. He
could easily increase the income from
the farm by getting the right man to
work 1t on shares and keeping gcod
stock from $3.50 to nearly $1,000. But
even If he could not do this we would
still hang On to the farm, for this sort
of an investment is absolutely safe.
