worthy of note that the fruit, such
as peaches, apples, ETC., coming
,, into the market here are far better
than ever seen here before. The
/, explanation is that for the last five

fruit trees imported from the

ing trees every year. Now these
are coming into bearing. Tb'

Gas Electric Car Tested.

On Wednesday at Schenectady, y. Y,
officials of the Delaware and Hudson
Company and the American Locomotive
Company made a test of the new gas cleo
trio car which is expected to revolution
ize railroading on short lines. 1t COM
bines in one the power house, transmits
sion lines. substat;ons and all the benefits
of electric traction without the costly
and cumbersome features of the trolley.
A powerful gas engine drives an electric
generator. The current obtained in this
way supplies power TO the motors which
drive the car. The gas engine. which con-
sumes gasoline, runs very smoothly, and
the electrical equipment assures perfect
control of speed and as comfortable rid
ing as is enjoyed in the modern interur-
ban electric. The shape of the ends of
the car is parabolic, to reduce the air
resistance to a minimum when travelling
at high speed. The eight-cylinder gas
engine develops 40 horsepower, and is
coupled TO 40 horsepower direct current
generator. The machinery worked finely
on all kinds of grades, and a speed of
over sixty miles an hour was made at
times. The car was especially designed
and constructed by the General Electric
Company for steam railroad work on the
Delaware and Hudson lines, and will be
used on several of its branch roads.

HARG|S SLAIN BY SON.
Breathitt County, Kentucky, Terror
Shot Down While Busy in
His Store.
QUARREL BEFORE TRAGEDY.
Long and Deadly Struggle of Two
Factions of Mountaineers
Recalled.

Former County Judge James Hargis,
notorious Kentucky feud leader, prac-
teal dictator of Breathitt county. and
accused of completely in many murders,
was shot and instantly killed in his
general store at Jackson by his son,
Beach Hargis. The son fired five shots
in rapid succession. four of which took
effect in his fathers body.
The exact cause of the quarrel which
resulted in Judge Hargis' death is I'M
known. 1t is supposed. however, that
the killing was the result of an old
grudge between father and son. which
had been infamed of late by the young
mans dissolute habits. The W men
are said to have had an alteration
several nights before. during which the
father was compelled to resort to VIC
lence to restrain his son.
Beach, who is reported to have been
drinking heavily of late, entered his
fathers general store in the middle of
the afternoon. Judge Hargis was stand
ing behind the counter in the real of
the place. and several customers were
grouped in the front. Young Hargis,
who was apparently under the influence
of liquor at the time, walked toward
his father. who is said to have remon-
stratcd with him. A quarrel started,
whici attracted the attention Of the
customers. Young Hargis then joiped
his father behind the counter. and af-
ter a few moments conversation drew
a revolver and fired three shots at
point blank range.
Mercy! Mercy. You've killed me-
appealed the elder man as he lay on
the floor. Young Hargis' answer was
to fire two more bullets into his par
ents PROSTATE body.
4 panic ensured, during which the
store was emptied and Town Marshal
Goran Smith notified. Smith, with
Grover Blanton, placed young Hargis
under arrest after a desperate struggle,
during which he raved like a mailman.
He was removed to the county Jail,
fighting every inch of the way with his
cantorS.

Iudtnn veternn, PROTEST..

1t is reported from Johannesburg,
Transvaal, that 116 Indian ex-soldiers
who acted as hospital bearers and the
like during the Boer war have sent a
I%etition to the Earl Of Elgin, England's
secretary of state for the colonies, pro-
testing against the gross insult to them
in the Identification measures adopted by
the Transvaal government, which they de-
clare infringe upon their religion. The
petition further says that if the imperial
government is unable to protect them
they will pray the king to order that they
be shot on one Of the South African bat
tlefields on which they served. The of
fensive regulation referred to was one
compelling natives Of India TO furnish fin
ger prints and other means of identifca-
ton as a condition of remaining in the
colony. Several prominent Indian natives
have been sentenced to two and three
months Imprisonment for refusing to
comply with the requirements of the law.

Fnrman Wins AirShip Prize.

Henry Farman, the French aeronaut.
has won the Observation-Disclosures prize
of $4,000 promised to the first person
who should make a circular kilometer in
an airship heavier than air. Mr.. Far
man did even better than the conditions
of the test required. His outer mark
was 512 meters from the start and his
curves were such that he actually covered
1900 meters. Aeronauts consider this
exploit the greatest since NJ. Santos-Du-
mont circumnavigated the Eiffel Tower in
a dirigible balloon, and as being of far
more prospective value than Santos-Du-
mont's performance. The aeroplane
weighs 800 pounds. a framework of ash
and piano wires supports two horizontal
parallel planes of light sail cloth 80 feet
long. A fifty horsepower motor is placed
just behind and above the level of the
lower plane of the forward set of sails.
With a preliminary run of a hundred
yards over the ground, the %aeroplane had
risen TO a height of II or 10 feet before
it reached the starting pole. Then, with
outstretched wings, it sailed out across
the field at a height of from % TO 30
feet and at a speed of twenty-five miles
an hour. The test took place about five
miles from Paris.
