ELECTRICAL FARMING.

The unfolding of one of the greatest
epochs in our agricultural history is
foreseen in the present conditions by
writer in the Brooklyn Eagle. The
past half century has been remarkable
for its agricultural machinery, but in
the next fifty years, he prophesies,
the use of electric power in cultivat-
ing farms, stimulating, planting and
harvesting crops will far eclipse any
thing yet achieved. In the new era
of electrical farming, men who now
look upon farm work as drudgery will
be attracted by the methods and a
new type of farmer will appear who
will be responsible for revolutionizing
changes.
Among the uses of electricity will
be the application of the electric cur
rent to growing plants by means of
wire netting in the soil, or by arc rays
as a stimulant. Lettuce and radishes
forced to quick growth by this method
are tender and crisp. The protection
of crops from insects, worms and
fungi is one of the latest develop.
ments, and in view of the fact that
millions of dollars worth of crops are
destroyed every year by these enemies
the employment of such an agency
will have widespread interest At
mospheric electricity is now collected
on some farms and distributed by m.
derground wires over fields. The
electricity in the air cannot be utilized
by plants for their own growth unless
atirficially supplied to them. The
| value of electricity as stimulating
agent is shown by plants growing
within its reach in their response tC
| its influence. The amount of electric.
ity in the atmosphere changes accord
ing to the weather, and some days
the soil becomes saturated with it,
and the plant growth is remarkable al
such times.

BLEW UP HOUSE AND GIRL

Martinsville, W. Va. Sept. 49, AS
the result of the jealousy of rival
lover, John Harris, we'll known ne
gro, is dead, Jennie Smith of Pitts
burg has broken back and will die,
and Julia White is so severely cut that
she may not recover. A house on
East Race street back of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad shops is blown up,
and Ernest HolIins and John Thomp-
son are in Jail charged with murder
the result of Saturday night dance
at the home of Julia White.
Hollins and Harris were rivals for
the hand of the Smith woman. Satur-
day night it was intended to hold a
dance at Julia Whites and John Har-
ris took the Smith woman to the house
shortly before l o'clock Sunday Morn
ing. Hollins is supposed to have gone
with Thompson, friend, and stolen
dynamite, placed it under the house
and set it off. For squares around
the houses we're shaken, windows
broken and the house itself SO badly
torn up that it will have to be des-
troyed. There is intense excitement
among the negroes, but no trouble is
anticipated.

VAR, NE MS.

Aberdeen, Scotland, Sept. 16. Pas
aboard the coasting steamer
Hogarth, which has arrived here, report
strange occurrence aboard the
steamer, which is believed in some
quarters to indicate that the Japanese
are laying a trap to catch the vessels
of the Russian Baltic fleet now bound
for the Far East. The passengers
report that two japanese officers and
nine sailors we're also aboard the ves-
sci coming to London. AS soon as
they landed at Aberdeen they jumped
into a small boat and proceeded to a
mysterious low lying craft in offing,
evidently a torpedo boat, which upon
receiving the men steamed seward.
1t is thought the intention of the craft
is to lie in wait for the Russian fleet.
Che Foo, Sept. l6.-The Japanese
between September and 10 assaulted
and captured an important fortifica-
ton two miles east of Golden hill.
The Japanese were able to hold their
positions owing to the poor quality OF
the Russian powder, shells falling
short and failing to explode. This is
taken to indicate that Stoessel's sup
ply of ammunition is running low.
New Chwang, Sept. Japanese
reinforcements are continually arriv-
ing and are sent toward Liaoyang as
soon as they arrive. With them are
sent great stores for winter supplies.
Huge crops are being reaped through
out Manchuria
Che Foo, Sept. 16.-Advices FROM
Port Arthur say the japanese are
tunnelling under the forts preparatory
to blowing them up. Refugees who
brought the news say the work, al
though slow, will probably be sue
cessful.
st Petersburg, Sept. 16.-General
Kuropatkin reports that the Japanese
forces between the Yentai mines and
Yentai station are being increased as
are also those near Bensipudzi.
Paris, Sept. 16.-The Matin quotes
Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister al
London, as saying: "After our vic
tories and expenses we are no longer
content with our former demands or
Russia. After the fall of Port Arthur
and Vladivostok they will be more
extreme. We have given up the plar
of taking Port Arthur by assault ant
will compel its capitulation by fam
| ine.'

STORM HATOC IN BOSTON.

Bottom, Sept. l6.-The center of
what might rightly be called an
equinoctial storm passed so closely to
the New England coast yesterday that
the shift of wind which followed its
rapid progress to the northeast was ao-
countable for many marine disasters.
The wind attained the velocity of a
hurricane at many exposed points,
such as Block Island, Nantucket and
Highland Light. All of these points
reported velocities of more than sixty
miles an hour from the southeast, fol-
lowed by shift, inside of a few min
utes, to the northwest, from which
direction the wind blew with even
greater intensity.
1t is believed that the disturbance
will be accountable for property
loss east of New York amounting to
more than $1,000 900, and several
lives.

COMPLETE RETURNS.

Portland, Me-, Sept ia Re-
publican plural ty Of ~, is shown
by complete returns from the State
election Of Monday, the unofficial
tabulstion of which from the 522
cities, towns and plantations was COM
pleted yesterday.
The total vote for Governor was !.
Cobb, Rep, 7S, AGO; Davis, DEM,
81, $50.
The vote in 1900 was: Hill, Rep.
70, 40; Lord, Dem, 40, 0S6.
While these figures show Repub-
lican gain of 1899 votes over 1900,
they also indicate Democratic gain
of II 244, or net gain for their party
of 6, 254.
Few elections in Maine have at
traoted more interest than this one,
on account Of the significance attached
to the result by the leaders of both
parties The point of attack on the
part of the Democrats was the Repub
lican plurality of 1900 The Repub
lican leaders said that the plurality
Of four years ago was above norma
and that they would be satisfied will
even 10, 600 or 49, QUO less than that
The final AS shown by today's figures
therefore, is viewed with satisfaction
