About 9:30 A. jc. the admiral
was emerging from a small shop
in the works when a workman,

the corner of the building, leaped
on Kurmich from behind and
“ ,0°g dagger into his

on hu face, which waa badly cut
by stones, and died immediately.
The asoassio fled into a large
forge, where be was lost among
the men employed there. The
works were promptly surrounded
by troop* and police, but tbe
search for the murderer was an
availing, his comrades profess
ing ignorance of his identity.
The police say it is evident
that tbe assassination of the ad
miral had been planned in ad

The dagger which was found
on the spot was concealed in a
round stick, like a sword caue.
Among the workmen are many
funner sailors and revolutionists.
Kuzmich had a bad reputation
among tbe workmen, being re
garded as hard and despotic.

Gaatonia. May 17—In about a
month, or six weeks, many
pirdenera and tomato-lovers will
be perplexed to know why their
tomatoes wilt sod die. The
plants begin to wilt at the top
and gradually die to the root, and
often when full of fruit and most
vigorous. Tbit blight is caused
not by a worm or an insect but
fw • or >» the soil
in which the plants an set.
It is earned by or originates
from plant»ng tomatoes year
after year in the same spot, or iu
groond in which Irish potatoes
have been npeatedly grown.
Irish potatoes and tomatoes an
closely kin.
The remedy is to remove yonr
tomato bed to ground in which
ueitheT tomatoes nor Irish po
tatoes have ever been grown.
New ground is best. Q.
