know the negro that he will not be
taken alive. He was unable to gel

ing on account of three wounds in.

THREE DEATHS IN CINCINNATI.

Cincinnati June 3.--Three deaths
and numerous prostrations early to-
day marked what promised to be this
city's hottest day this summer. The
thermometer registered 95 degrees at
I'll o'clock, which was two degrees
higher than il was at that time last
year. The resumption of the deliv-
cry Of ice despite the fact that the
strike continued. probably prevented
more fata lilies.

GREAT DEMAND FOR CrRCAssIAN

The United States, says the depart
ment of agriculture. is probably the
largest consumer OF Circassian wal
nut, one of the worlds best known
and most expensive cabinet woods:
The high cost of Circassion wal
nut is due to the scarcity of the beau
tifuiiy figured variety demanded for
furniture and interior finish, for the
tree itself is more widely distributed
than almost any other of commercial
Importance. The demand for the best
wood, however, has always eutrun the
supply. Even In the eighteenth CEN
