BRUTALLY ASSAULTED
Edward Fisseler Receives Very
Severe Idjuries About
The Hend And
Body.

With serious injuries to his head
Edward Fieseler, of Cathedral street
lies in q dangerous condition at the
Emergency Hospital. 1t is not thought
that his injuries will result fatally,
but he will carry for many years the
marks of injuries received in an I'M
provoked assault made upon him last
evening.
For some time there has been con-
siderable bad feeling among the city
BOYS and the Naval Academy candi-
dates receiving instruction at the pre-
paratory schools. 1t was the climax
of many small encounters between the
two sets of boys that ended in the
terrible injuries to young Fie s,er.
He, with large number of other
persons. were enjoying the skating on
Spa creek when some other boys, not
of his crowd, began throwing stones
at a number of candidates who were
also skating on the creek. At last the
candidates showed signs of irrita-
tion and Fieseler, not wishing to be
drawn itno any disturbance, took off
his skates and left the creek, intending
to go to another place to skate.
When in front of the Emergency
Hospital a crowd of candidates appear
ed and commenced to assault Fieseler
and his companions. Most of the
other boys managed to escape without
injury, but Fieseler was knocked down
and beaten in a cruel manner. Several
teeth were loosened, his nose was
badly injured and his jaw was injured
to such an extent that it was feared
for time it was broken.
He was carried into the hospital,
where he was attended by DR.. j. j.
Murphy. This morning his condition
was improved to a considerable extent
1t is thought that a club. or hockey
stick was used in the assault on Fies-
eler.

An announcement, both pleasing and
gratifying to the officers and particu-

to purchase, each year a sword. This
is to be presented to the midshipman
making the best record and showing
in practical and theoretical ordnance
gunnery.
1t is hoped to have the fund avail
able in sufficient time to permit of the
presentation on January 3d. The
committee which has been placed in
charge of the fund and to make the
award is composed of George II. San
derson, of Chicago; Robert Anderson,
Of New York; L. L. Wood, of New

are Joseph Chamberiain's sensations
when he gazes on that magnificent
thoroughfare, the finest in Great Brit
ain outside Of London. Where the hoV-
els once reeked in filth great marts and
business palaces rear their fronts. The
district from which respectable persons
turned with loathing Is now the fash
ionable shopping district. Delicate fab
RIGS have taken the place Of the rags of
the pauper AS If Aladdin's magician
had waved a wand, the grewsome dis
| trict has disappeared. l would rather
| be Joseph Chamberlain and walk up
Corporation street, Birmingham, than
be able to pay the Russian national
debt.
At an expense Of $S,5O0,o00 the city
purchased about forty-fye acres of
slums and proceeded to transform an
irregular strip having an extreme
length of about mile. Starting at
New street, one of the best business
thoroughfares, it surveyed broad road
through the center of its new and
strange property. Having laid out new
streets in every direction, the munich
pality offered the frontage to those who
were willing to build in consideration
of seventy-five year leases. There was
demand from powerful interests that
the leaseholds be extended to ninety
nine years, but Mr.. Chamberlain was
| firm in his resolve that Birmingham
should come into full possession Of its
reward at the end Of the shorter term.
He insisted that it would be possible
to rent every square foot Of the land
on the terms specified, and his judg-
ment was accurate. He also predicted
that the average annual charge against
the taxes would not exceed 100000.
This would meet the interest on the
bondE and make up the deficit after al
lowing for rents and other revenues.
In brief, he estimated that the eventual
cost Of the investment would not ex-
coed $4,50O,000.
The scheme has been greatly enlarg-
ed since its inception, but when the last
payment is made in 1850 Birmingham
will own in fee simple the most valua-
BILE tract of real estate in the world,
and the price paid will fall below that
set by the "boy mayor" who has
chance to live to see the partial fruition
Of his "audacious sagacity." If offered
for sale in the. open market today the
former slum hole would realize $751;
100000. Its improvement did more
than any one thing to make Birming-
ham the metropolis Of the midland
counties" 1t is no exaggeration to as
sert that the decision Of the council of
1875 had the direct effect Of doubling
the value of every square foot Of land
in the business district, and it would
be impossible to put a money value on
the blessings WHICH have come with
lowered death rate, diminished crime,
an aroused local pride and the prestige
which comes from a great campaign
vaIiantly and successfully pushed to
success.

how to Oil the WAGON.

Use Of the right kind Of oil is impor-
tant in keeping up the condition of
wagon wheels. Lard should not be
used. as it soaks into the hub and
works out around the lemons, seriously
4njuring the wheel. Tallow is better
and works well for wooden axlerees.
Castor oil is one of the most durable
lubricators and Is the only kind which
will last long on badly worn axle. 1t
is also preferred for all iron hubs.
Some Of the patent axle greases are
good and cheaper than castor oil 9th
ers are not desirable in any way.
Many people use too much grease in
oiling wagon wheels. A spoonful of
castor oil is enough for all four wheels.
Any surplus will work out and gum up
or be forced into the hub. Before oiling
the spindle should be wiped clean and
wet with little turpentine. Then APP
ply a few drops of the OIL

Barley meal and middlings gave
slightly better results in feeding ex-.
periments with pigs at the Agricultur-
al college in Canada than cornmeal and
middlings Some tests in Colorado
with steers place ground corn ahead of
ground barley for feeding. Barley may
be fed with roots to cows with good
results When fed to horses, as is
done in California, the grain should
not be ground, but fed whole. Barley
is considered especially valuable in the
production OF bacon hogs. At the
North Dakota station barley was not
equal to oats In feeding value per
pound when fed to horses, but was
nearly as good. Mules do not relish it
at all. Much Of the prejudice which
exists in this country against the use
of barley as stock food il unfounded.

The best dairy authorities are divid-
ed on the question as to how many
times day COW should be fed, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Some prefer feed
ing but twice day, while others feed
three and some more often. We feel
that twice day is quite sufficient,
although we can see no serious OBJ
1ections to feeding fodder at noon. It
is held by those that feed twice day
that COW has more time for remasti-
eating her feed, therefore it is the bet
ter system.
