POUEROY. A NOTORIOUS BOY MURDERER AT TEMPTS TO ESCAPE. Catting the Bars of Ills .... Slender Saws. " Cell With A Boston dispatch says that Jesse Pomeroy, the most . noto'rions prisoner in the State prison, has made another attempt to escape. Pomeroy . is the boy fiend who tor tured to death two or three cb'ldren about a dozen years"-v ago, and who at the - age of..- sixteen years, was sentenced to be . hanged. Governor Gaston commuted the sentence to life imprisonment in a solitary cell. Pomeroy has been detect ed in half a dozen plans for escaping, and he . has always required the closest Watching. He is abnormally cunning a model - convict in outward behavior, but keenly observant and tireless in plotting to gain his liberty Before the reconstruction of the prison and its extension Pomeroy occupied a . cell in the upper arch. : The i wing was extended and six : new cells added' in the I area. Adjoining ,- this : new ," wing are several specially "strong cells. On either" - side of these -cells are grated bars, allowing a full view of the narrow quar ters from both sides, and the guard as he makes the rounds can be continually in sight of the inmates., ,,. Directly over the arch is the hospital, and it is thought that from this place came the assistance which so nearly gave the murderer his liberty. i - - . In his regular round the guard while lean ing against the window felt two of the iron, bars give way to the pressure of: his hand, and a moment later they fell to the grounds The guard discovered that two other bars had been worked .upon, and . that a few minutes'" labor would have rendered them as useless as the broken ones. Hastily summoning tha officials, another in spection was made, the broken and damaged bars were replaced with new ones, and a tour of the cells was begun. By instinct hey made for Pomeroy's cell. At -a glance the two massive iron gratings seemed impregnable, but a closer scrutiny showed that enough bars in the side nearest the window to admit the body of a man had been cut through,' but so fastened by means of cement that even the heavy clanging of the door did not shake them. Where the cement was concealed has not yet been ascertained, v Pomeroy was' taken to safer quarters and searched, but nothing was "found . on -his. person save two slender . saws. He refused to disclose who furnished them, where the cement had been obtained, or how long -the work had been going on. It is said, how-, ever, that he said enough to leave the infer ence that the time for escape had been defi-, nitely fixed, and that a conveyance would be in waiting to take him to a place of safety, f Since Pomeroy 's sentence 1 hy has been in solitary confinement, "save - for an occasional hour's outing with the Warden. When not otherwise employed ha has been busy with pouring over books, and has the repu tation of being a close student. Indeed, he has already mastered Latin and Greek, and '. can' converse : with some fluency in French and German.- His first at tempt to escape was made soms nine years ago. Then Pomeroy spent his leisure momenta in loosening a rock that formea a part of the centre wall of the prison and the wall of his celL For years evidently he had been at work on that rock, and had finally succeeded in separating it from the surrounding wall. To get it out of the way was the next ques tion, and, thoughtless of the -consequence, he forced it outward slowly, until one day the guard, loosing down the massive wall, saw the projecting rock and made an investiga tion. Pomeroy was then taken to a stronger cell TRAIN WRECKERS ON TRIAL Charging Grave Crimes Against tbo "Western Knights of Labor. On the morning of. the 26th day of April, 1886, Engineer J oseph H .Fowler felt his train leave the track near WyandotteKan., and the next instant he was near death's door; from the ' effects of ' bruises and scalding steam from nis overturned engine, ms nre man, Charles Horton, and the head brake man, William Carlisle, were lying mangled and dead under" the wreck. - ... - ; ' . . -'. . . This was the culmination of the great Southern strike, in which the strength of "the organization' of the Knights of Labor was pitted against the corporation of the Missouri Pacific, railway system, Defeated at every point the strikers .began a series of reprisals for revenge by wrecking trains and Injuring the property of the company. - The second trial of George Hi Hamilton, the leader of the train wreckers, is now In progress at. Wyandotte. The arrest of the six men engaged in the work was brought about" by the confession of .William Vossen, and now Fred. Newport has made the case stronger by turning State's evidence and adding his testimony to that of Vossen..: The arrest of Charles Babbitt, a young car penter who was formerly an engineer of a; switch engine, was occasioned by .another confession. This time Frank Whitney's con- - it j i i - i m . e science compeueu. nun to relieve maiseu. ul his terrible secret. Babbi.t is -charged with the wrecking of a freight train at Elm Park, about six miles east of Kansas City, on. - .April xo, xooo. , x ixa un(i was mux lur limj regular passenger train, but an extra freight was caught. . . - - '' ;' The confessions of these three men are kept secret as to details, but the prosecution now claims that the jnost daring and sensa tional developments will be brought out in the trial, which will show that the whole scheme was concocted in the lodge meetings of the Knights of Labor, and was sanctioned by the .Executive ummrctejTvnicn was m . charge of the strike at the time. Not only J. this, but warrants are out tor members wno stana nign in xneoraer, ior- muwier, ir&ur wrecking and conspiracy. It is hinted that arrests will be made much further east than the State line. , ' t A BURGLAR'S DEATH. He Plunges Through a Plate-Glass Window and is 'Killed. "Jimmy" McDevitt, a well-known burglar and a neptew of "Jimmy" Elliott, the prize. T fighter, who was killed . by "Jerry" Dunn in " Chicago a few years ago, met with a violent -death while trying to escape from the store of We'sl Brothers, imp rters and m nufac tnrers of cloaks and garments, who occupy the upper lofts of Nos. 9 and 11 White street, New York. McDevitt was discovered in the store about 7 o'clock by the porter, who" closed the door against him and sent for a ; policeman. After a desperate attempt to es cape, McDevitt jjlungea tnrougn a piaw glass windo .v. He was cut in the stomach, and disemboweled. When released be was dead. A companion of the dead burglar, i known to the police by the sobriqu-t of "Rats," who was watching on the outside of the building, was arrested and is now - lock ed up. '-" MARKETS.

JESSE AGRICULTURAL. topics op interest relative . ;to farm and garden. ; . , Canada Thistles in Meadows. he Canada thistle, though, not easily killed is yet comparatively easy to keep in subjection; provided t the surface is cofSred with other vegetation. A heavy growth of clover or timothy will leave little room, for thistles, except in vacant spaces. . Enough will push through to keep the root alive, and as soon as the field as plowed they; .'will., grow with greater vigor than ever, even on fields where but few before 'were to "be seen. Heavily seeding with clover or grass is therefore not one of the best means, not. of destroying - thistles, but of making them as little trouble as possible. On a farm filled with thistles the larger part should be seeded heavily, and then the fields one after another be taken in hand and the thistles in each thoroughly rooted out. It is true a great deal of hay is half .thistles,, but this is mainly the farmer's fault, either in not sowing enough grass ana clover seed, or.- in pasturing tnese until they are - destroyed, leaving the thistles to occupy their places. ; :-:'--," t-,-,. - r :h :.'! Care of Pastures.. - - ; As a rule, pastures in this country re ceive llittle or no care. Ko crops, gets less attention, yet none .would respond more quickly to good care.' . Much atten tion has been given to premium crops of. corn, wheat, potatoes, the . improvement of horses, cattle, sheep and swine ; even poultry: are . encouraged by- liberal premiums ; but we seldom - hear of a premium crop of grass. .It seems prac ticable to double the present yield with out an outlay at all corresponding to the Increased value of the crop. Is there any good reason why :af armer should not be stow as much care in selecting the prop er seeds, and in the after-treatment of meadows, ? as he would 'in -selecting or breeding and raising a Southern bull calf or a Merino lamb? ' Grass should not be pastured in very early .spring, before ; the 'ground settles and the sod becomes firm; By this early pasturing the - tops are kept closely cut off, the roots are injured, from which the grass does not recover for a whole year. r. To gain and thrive, the grass needs some green? leaves as , much as a ; horse needs fresh 1 air f and a- stomach to digest a liberal allowance of food. 1 If cut fre quently and kept short, like .the grasses of the lawn, the roots Willi not make the same size and extent of growth as when the stalks and leaves have free develop ment.! The roots depend 'as much on the leaves as the latter does on " the roots. Pastures should not be allowed to grow very long ) in spring without feeding, as the culms run up the blossom and make a growth distasteful to all kings of stock. By movable fences or otherwise, it is a good plan to feed off a- piece ralher closely, let it get a start, and then feed off again evenly. Chicago Herald. Breeding Dairy Cows. ""Henry Stewart says, in the Agricul turist: : 'The art of breeding is governed by a few rules which are simple and easy to understand. (The first and most im portant jf these is that 'like produces like, by which is meant that animals of certain peculiarities of form, color, char acter,1 disposition, - habit and quality, when bred together, reproduceTtheir'd'wn characteristics ' in their progeny, j This rule has been so uniformly and constant ly proved by practice,' and is: so - reason able and natural, that it may be taken as a safe guide in the rearing of dairycows. Every person may see it proved-by prac tice every day of his life." There is more or less of family likeness in -persons as well as in inferior animals. The progeny of a Jersey is always a Jersey, and . the same is true of lt other breeds; A good rich milker produces Calves that are good milkers, provided the . bull is also of a good, milking familj . It is the fashion to assert that only pure breeds rhave' this physiological power of propagating' their own characteristics." All animals pos sess this power to some degree, however, and by a careful course -of selection this natural proclivity may ' be 'encouraged, developed and strengthened until,,- the breed, l as it is f then called, j has this power ' in an eminent degree and the progeny partakes very closely of the character of the parents. : This is the point to be aimed at by. dairymen, who 6hould first learn by .careful tests which are the best cows, then seed them liber ally to develop tueir qualities to the fullest extent, breed -them - 'to- males j of known hereditary excellence, and pursue the same plan with theit progeny. The male should be selected from some pure breed, not haphazard, but after careful investigation of itsantecedents,and espe ; eially of its. parentage; Milking qual-: ity is the only point to be considered, for this alone brings the profit desired. A dairyman should look, to bias special business for his profit, -and never be in duced", to compete with 'professional breeders in the rearing of stock for sale. Hundreds of dairymen have been misled into disastrous losses during the progress of what might be called the Jersey speculation,- during seven or eight years past, by purchasing at high prices animals be longing to certain families which ; were popular at the time, but whose popularity Was Soon eclipsed by new favorites. It mat ters not what breed is chosen. ' If it is the Shorthorn, .the Holstein-Friesian,., the Jersey, the .v Guernsey or Ayrshire, r-. as good a bull as can be afforded should be purchased, and this may be safely done if the pedigree is right, and the milking quality of his dam and both his grandams has been found satisfactory. It is more profitable to pay a large price for a good animal than a small price lor a poor one. The bull is half the herd, f as regards the" calves, and more that that when it is pro cured for the purpose of improyingiiative stock.5 The spare male calves may.be easily disposed of to neighbors who "are not so particular, or not so experienced in this respect, for some- advance on the common stock, and will in good part re-' pay the cost of the sire.i Breed is un doubtedly dependent .upon feed, i Feed, ing and training have given the value to the breed, and this value must be kept up by feeding; and' training. The mis- take is often made of : gettinga pure bred animal and subjectifig it "to allfhe care- less .management which- is given to the common stock; and expecting that this animal, by virtue of its parents' character, can lift up the common herd,' and double QT treble fts vaiue in a few years. Sucha tope is doomed to disappointment from the outset. " When a- pure animal is brought into a herd its care should be at least eoual to that which it has been used to andthe very-same systemZof feeding lowed with the whole herd. . It this practice is . carried put, the : desired end will surely be reached. . ' ;: .. Farm and Garden Notes.

T Do not delay lest rainy weather set in and raise the Vater. ' ; In regard to the use of plaster in as sociation with manure, the best, way is to sprinkle a little behind, the cattle every day say two or three ounces per head. , ! Turkeys as well as chickens should not be allowed : to roost on narrow roosts while growing, as it - causes crooked breasts, especially in the larger variety ol fowls. ' : : Mixed farming is most useful in keep ing up the soil to a degree of fertility. The specialties engaged in should be in keeping with the soil and conditions oi the farm. .

J , Every time you use the cultivator in order to kill out the grass and weeds you are at the same time stirring ; the soil, thereby admitting more air to the.roots of the plants, providing a greater amount of moisture and converting the insoluble sabstances into plant food, r t J -' . Save all the manure. A'quarter of a century ago many farmers dumped their manure, into the rivers, not- supposing that manure or .fertilizers would ever be required, but the question of fertilizers is now being discussed, . as well as the best methods- of restoring fertility. - ... T If possible, it is best to let at least five or-six'weeks intervene between harvest imd thieshinjr. - The grain comes out of the straw more easily and is in dried con dition. : If threshing must be done in-, side of the time mentioned cafe must be taken that the grain does not afterward heat in the bin. Many farmers who have an abundance of straw are too careless about stacking it. - The stack should be well built, even if one intends to rot the straw. Dry straw is comparatively light and easy, to handle, and it ; can . be thrown , from the stack and scattered over the yard from time to -time without much trouble. Gexman millet," sown and lightly har rowed in, in f the proportion of one bushel of seed per acre, makes an excel lent prop for summer. " But it must be cut as soon as it shall be in blossom, for if allowed to ripen its seed, it will be come hard and woody. - On good, well manured land it should produce two tons of hay per acrel : ' r'V.?
