One of the most determined at. tempts ever made to lynch a prison er in theatreets of New York was witnessed in upper Second avenue, near One Hundred and Fifteenth street Wednesday night, when a for eigner shot one man to death and desperately wounded two of the vic tim's brothers, The following ac count of the affairs we take from the Ameriean: The slayer’s only motive was re sentment because he, with four of his countrymen, had been interfered with when the tried to bold up and rob a man in front of Mrs. Anna Kaufraann’s dry goods store at No 2256Second avenue..

Mrs. Kaufmann ran be tween the assailants and their vic tim. They fell sullenly back, and she rushed the man into her store. He was bleeding from cuts on the face. The five Becker brothers, who keep a large hardware store at No. 2250 Second avenue, heard the noise of the struggle and they came running up just as Mrs. Kaufmann had res cued the mahrShe is a powerful wo man, and tiie holdup men had receiv ed ample evidence of her ability to hit hard.

He came there from Elizabeth City, N. C.. where he had appeared in court to renew the bond on which he was at liberty uending the deciHon of the North Carolina supreme court on a motion of a new trial in his case. His bond was raised from $3,000 to $5, 000 and he had no trouble in furnish ing it. He immediately left for Nor folk, . and the supreme court almost as quickly rendered a decision ad versely to him. The Norfolk police were asked to arrest him, as he had threatened suicide. Harrison made no effort to conceal his identity here, and no trouble was experienced in locating him at the ho tel room, and a little strategy was resorted to get him out. A bell boy was sent to his door by Detective Wright, who went to'fnake the ar- rest, with instructions to tell Harri son that he was wanted at the tele- g one. Harrison told the boy that would not answer the phone, say ing that he was not to be easily trap ped by the police. Detective Wright remained at the foot of the stairway, as the bell boy went up to deliver the message, and as the lad returned to report to the detective, a pistol Hiot'was heard in Harrison’s room. The door to the room was fo open. Harrison lay across the with a bullet hole in his right pie. Besides Him was a pistol. as still Alive, hut an towed that there was no chance his recovery.

W. D. Hunter, in charge of cotton boH weevil investi- gations, has prepared some interest ing information on the aubject. The boll weevil problem still re mains, he says, a most important one for the cotton industry of this coun try. The insect continues to spread. Climatic barriers have given it tem porary checks, imt they have been successively over come. The prodie 1 tion that the pest will eventually reach the limits of cotton culture in this country has repeatedly been ntade, but an important considera tion connected with the future spread has received less attention, largely because it has more recently become evident. This consideration is that damage in new regions is likely to be more severe than it has been in the terri tory infested up to this time. The experience of the past two years has rather tended to obscure some of the features of the weevil problem. The large crops produced in Texas have given an enormous impression of the prospects. It is true that very re markable results have been obtainec in the work of the department of agriculture. Making due allowance for this important work, it must be stated that the recerffi large crops are largely due rather to a combina- i of con owned by the McCartha and one of them may have ed.

H. Harriman, in which he refers to the prosperity of the South and South west on account of the cotton crop, Mr. Richard H. Edmonds, editor of The Manufacturer’s Record, in an interview with The Baltimore Sun said: “Mr Harriman’s optimism in re gard to the effect of the wonderful expansion of the agricultural inter ests of the South is justified, but he is far short of the reality in his state ments as to the value of the cotton crop. He credits Texas with a pro duction of cotton of 4,000,000 bales, worth he says at present prices, $180,000,000, or about $45 a bale. Whereas cotton is selling at over $60 shale, and if to this be added the value of at least $70 a bale, or just $100,000,000 more for the cotton crop of Texas than is estimated by Mr. Harriman. Mr. Harriman also says; ‘Think what that crop alone means to the country. A $6000,000.000 cot ton crop means prosperity for the South.’ “It is not a $6000,000,000, but riore, nearly a $900,000,000 crop vhich the South is now getting ready to pick.
