So we pay for fertilizers more than one-fifth the value of our whole cotton crop. in like manner our fertilizers ! abvut one-sixth the value of the corn crop, fully as much as our total wheat crop, and almost twice as much as the entire oat crop. It behodves us, then; to examine carefully ipto this immense expenditure, and to see at what point wel can best economize. To do so we must utilize, as I said j jefore, the fertilizing ingredients hear I at hand, saving all that may be useful in forming compost heaps, such as stable manure and litter, cotton seed and ashes, leaves and refuse, in fact everything that is generally thrown I aside as worthless.-Dr. IT.

AND DOING DAMAGE TO THI EXTENT OF MANY THOUSANDS OF DOIXAB8 LIFE AIJ; THAT IS LEFT TO MANY CITIZENS LOSS OF LIFE ALSO OTHER NEWS BY WIRE. Chicago, September 1. A Titles special from Morgan, Tex., says: The hardest rain that ever fell in this country began Tuesday night and has continued without cessation. The dam age to farmers in the low valley lands in every portion of the country is es timated at thousands of dollars. The Texas Central and Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroads are badly dam aged, and it wjji be many days before cither of them can move trains. The following business houses with all their goods were swept down Bosque River: Seller & Hamilton's dry goods store, Sam Frank's grocery store M. M. McHail's grocery store, J. H. Jus tice's safidle-shop, ' Orson's furni ture1 store and three cotton gins. Nine residences were also washed away. Besides these houses, which are entirely gone, every house in town is damaged. Life is all that many citizens have left. J At Whitney, twenty-two miles east, in Hill county, a number of houses were washed away. At Meridian, a man whose name could not be learned was swimming to his house to try and save Eome of its contents, when ; the .water became too ttwift for I his strength, forcing him. into the cur rent and drowning him. Between here and Cleburn, a 'distance Of 30 miles, there were eight wash-outs on thei Santa Fe road. Three of the number are large iron bridges which anon Knun T?5 A k Aitfennt span the Nolan River. At different points on the Texas Central between Morgan and Whitney, two large iron bridges, which have stood the storms for years, are completely destroyed. Between here and Hyco, on the Cen- tral road, 31 miles distant, there are 11 bridges washed away. The floss to the railroad is over $100,000. i No estimate can yet be made of the loss in the small towns and to the farms. j ' ; - -i - i ; Aaamvlt on a United ftteiea CansnL El Paso, Tex., September li At o'clock yesterday evening United fi - jiti)a nnnil Ttn'n)..m WTT,; States. Consul Brigham and I he Uni ted States agent of the Apaches hereabouts went to the court room of Judge Zubia, a magistrate at Paso del Norte, to transact some business' regarding the recovery of horses slolen from the Indians.

Zubia ran several steps down the walk, and coming up behind Brigham struck him a : heavy blow over the head. Judge Zubia, in an interview last night regarding his assault upon Consul Brigham,; said: "Brigham and Cowart had waited at the "court room from 2 to 5 p. m. I did not keep my engagement with them be cause I had been detained at v home by a sick wife. 1 My interpreter says the consul used languuage l when speaking to me that a Mexiean would call insulting, and that he did not interpret more than half of it to me. Thereupon I ordered Brigham from my JT Tr-1 residence. On the street the "consul continued to use violent language and I, without any weapon, ran down to him and struck him on the head with. my hand." The latter started to use his cane and Zubia ran into a house : and locked the door. Consul Brig ham has telegraphed the affair to Washington. He is corroborated by agent Cowart.

He Lived Beyond HI Means. SacO, Me., Sept. 1. Some friends of Frank C. McNeilly, the abscond ing clerk of the Saco Savings Bank, think he is deranged. They say he has been acting very queerly and has complained of head trouble. "When Cashier Kelley left the bank in charge of the clerk the inner vault, where the cash ' and securities were kept, was locked. ' No one but the treasu rer and president were supposed to know how tjO open the safe, but Mc Neilly musti have studied the combi nation when tbe vault was open some time during the treasurer's absence and found it an easy task to carry out his plan. lie has been jiving be yond his means ever since he worked in the bank. He wore hno clotbes, hired, livery stable teams and always Jiad ia plenty 01 spending money. Some bills he ha deft unpaid, together with sundry amounts borrowed from friends. A few days ao, when talk ing with a ! friend about his future plans', he said he : expected to be thousands of miles away from here in September. His mother is completely prostrated by the ehocr.. His brother Harry, who holds a responsible posi tion in the American Express office, has gone to Montreal in search of tbe absconder. Bank Examiner Richards will begin work tn the books today. Saco, Me., Sept. 1. From the facts that have been learned Treasurer Kee- ly ahd the other bank officers are led to accept an entirely new theory re garding the robbery. It was thought yesterday that McNeilly must have studied the combination to the steel chest inside the inner safe at some previous time while the treasurer was absent and kept his secret until his plans were fully developed. - Today the bank officers Think that McNeilly confiscated the bonds on the first of August whileehgagedincuttmgcou- YfT c iW. ha AiA f .a.tnf 1 pons; that he did not get access to the j security vault on the day he left the bank. What dispostion he has made of the negotiable bonds since August first is not known, but he has been making frequent trips to Portland: of late; and it is supposed that he has beep, taking steps towards selling them. The $3,500 which he stole was all I the I cash in the drawer which; the safe contained: but had he succeeded in working the combination of the steel chest he could have taken ; millions of money and negotiable securities. This makes it seem all the more probable that he did not open the chest, but had stolen the' bonds on the first of August when the coupons were cut. In the place of the package of bonds stolen he left a "dummy" in the shape of a package of old letters, sor that at a glance the pile of bonds Arould not hate awakened suspicion. i I . . . - .; Brntallty to Georgia Convict. i' i it Chicago, September 1.

He complained of beincr Bik, but with the lash Bryant com pelled him , to keep 'at work until at last the convict fell dead at his feet.

Rough Pas saga of a Coaster. is New Oeleans, September 1. Mr T- H. Patterson, a passenger on the Steamer Knickerbocker which arrived here yesterday from New1 York sev era! days over-due, says the steamer encountered a gale early on the morn ing of the 2dd, which soon developed into a cyclone of great severity. The storm continued 48 hours, during which time! everybody thought the ship would go to pieces. The ship was blown three hundred miles out of her course and the steamer was further delayed 4 nours, going un der sail. I Jjuring the cyclone the water broke over the ship, and at one time there was considerable water in the engine room The Crew of the German Bark Lena Saved. New Yobk, September 1. The steamer City of Alexandria, which ar rived from Havana today, brought the shipwrecked crew, seventeen men, and the captain of the German bark Lena, fromjPensacola to the Nether lands. She left Pensacola August 17th, experienced the storm of the 23d, which! became a hurricane on the 24th. The deck load became loose and several of the crew were hurt. The crew were about to take to the boats when the schooner Morangie came along and took them on board. The Morangie s provisions gave out and the steamer took the wrecked men on board August 29th. The men lost everything but what they stood A BOLD ATTEMPT TO WREC A TRAIN WEST. IN THE A TWO HUNDBED POUND BOCK PUT UPON THE TRACE A SMASH-UP ESCAPED AS BY A MIBACLE OTHEB TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. Pekin, 111.. Sept. 1 A bold at tempt was j made last evening to wreck the 'Indiana, Bloomington and Western east-bound passenger train that left Pekin at 8 o'clock at Leslie station, six miles east of this city. The east and west-bound passencer trains are due here at 8 o'clock pass ing at this point. The west bound pas senger train passed Leslie allrighi. It was between this time and 8.15 that some persons carried a large stone, weighing a couple of hundred pounds, twenty-five j feet and placed it be tween the 1 fails of the main track. The east-bound passenger train very fortunately had a passenger for Leslie station. The engineer was notified and had slowed up when his engine struck thej stone, throwing it over and the forward trucks left the track. The train was delayed nearly an hour. Had it not been for this one passenger there would have been a smash-up as the train would haveda&hed into this rock obstruc tion at full: speed. The only theory given for the devilish work is one of robbery. The officials of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western will investi gate the matter. Washington Hot. Washington, D.. C Sept. 1.

The Bal timore & Ohio Express today passed into the hands of the United States Express Company, and their em ployees were notified of the change, j There will, for the present at least, be no changes in the employees and reports will be made to the general manager as heretofore. Speaking of the sale, Mr. John Iv. Cowan, coumiell for the Baltimore & Ohio CompanrJ said: "The statement that the Baltimore & Ohio Express hae been: sold to the United States Express Company is not correct. There has been simply a contract enter cj into between the two companies bj which the United States Express is to run the Baltimore & Ohio for which the former is to pay the latter company a certain percentage o' earnings." He declined to say wha , the percentage will be. It is now : very generally believed here that th sale of the express is not the last of the deals -of the Baltimore & Ohi Railroad Company. Special despatche 3 from New York render it conclusive to the minds of many prominent bus . ness men that the telegraph system of the .company will soon pass into other hands if the negotiation is nc t already concluded- The - impressio also prevails that 'Mr. Garrettt ""id anxious to dispose of the road and tbje announcement of the sale at any time will create no surprise here.

Another Pranilnl. The Paris correspondent of the New York Herald telegraphs the particu lars of another atrocious tripple mur der in that city, committed within a stone's throw of the Arc'de,Triomphe by an oculist named Padrona. Sun day morning, between five and six o'clock, the tenants of No. 9 Rue Brey, where Padrona occupied a small apartment on the fittli flour, with his young and delicate wife and threo little children, were awakened by agonized cries and the soundpf pistol ehots. An alarm was given, but no one had the courage to enter the ocu list's apartment. While a knot of neighbors huddled together on the -landing Padrona suddenly darted but of his door and dashed down stairs, branishing a bloodstained Corsicau ' knife in his hand. Beforo ho could be stopped he took refuge iu the cellar. Ho presently reappeared, however, with a bottle of xtine, and this time the bystanders -seized him and handed him over to the police au thorics. On entering the ; apartment' a terrible sight met the eves of tho officers. Mme. Padrona fay on her bed with six bullet-holeH in her face and neck. In tho adjoining bedroom a little lad of two years lay i on his cot with his head literally severed u "his iKnlyr , joieajv bjaa-Iay-the.. j, body of his sister, Marie, with "her ' throat cut and her baby hands clasped as .though imploring her father to spare her. Beside Mine. Padrona a- baby, three months old, lay peacefully sleeping unnarmea. It is supoosed that after a quarrel with his wife Padrona got out of bed, loaded his revolver and shot her. Hearing what was taking place ' the terrified children began to cry, and the murderer, fearing that their noise - would arouse the neighbors, slit their throats to silence them. Padrona, who is a Corsican, was jealous of his wife. He is an inveterate smoker and. absinthe drinker. He pretends that he killed his wife to avenge him self for her infidelity. When arrested he said : "Let me have a -drink before - you take me off. I am thirsty.'' Since then his language has been incohe rent. He is either mad or shamming' 1 to save himself. I i ' A Chinese Anieiihetie. From the Boston Journal i A carious anaesthetic use 1 of the Chinese has recently been made known by Dr. U. Lambeth in his . third annual report of the Soochow Hospital. It is obtained by placing a frog in a jar of flour ahd irritating it by prodding it. Under these cir cumstances it exudes a liquid, which forms a paste with a portion of the flour. This paste, dissolved in water. was found to possess well-marked an esthetic properties. After the finger had been immersed in the liquid for a few minutes it could be pricked with a needle without any pain being felt, and numbness of the hps and tongue was produced by applying jthe liquid to them.
