Zimmcr- mao, when the train left Delhi, a station twelve miles west ot, there, called Ketch- urn’s attention to some tramps that he saw through the glass of the car door leading to-the front platform next to the locomotive’s tender. Both men arose and went toward the front door. When within ten feet of it the tramps began firing through the glass window. Ketchum full, shot in four places. Two balls entered his abdomen, one in his breast and one in his left shoulder. Zimmerman tried to draw his pistol, but it stuck in bis hip pocket and he retreated to Ihe rear platform of the car, where he mot the conductor. The latter pulled, the bell rope and stopped the train.

In the Senate on Tuesday, Mr. Chand- ! ler offered a resolution referring the credentials of Senator Gibson, of Louis iana, for his new term, to the committee on privileges and elections, instructing that the committee inquire into all the facts of the senatorial election, and tc ascertain and report whether or not, at the recent state election in Louisiana, which included the election of a state legislature, and inquire and report whether the legislature was actually and duly elected by the people of Louisians, or was, in fact, solely the creation of the returning and canvassing officers, and whether the state of Louisiana had, on the 22d of May, 1888, (the day of Senator Gibson’s election), a republican form 6i government, including a legislature, enti tled to choose a United States Senator... The House spent two hours and a half ; discussing the resolution reported frotp the committee on postofficcs aud post roads, calling on the postmaster-genera! for a tabulated statement of disallowed postmaster claims presented from the' state of Kentucky.

The work amounted to nearly twen+y- cight hundred distinct inspections. Every car load of fertilizer entering the state for sale has been entered by an in spector in person, cither at Augutta, Sa vannah or Toceoa, or at its final destina tion. Extraordinary diligence and care have been employed to prevent a single car load or bag of fertilizer from reach ing the hands of a farmer before being personally inspected by nn inspector. The greatly incrcas d number of fer tilizer factories within the limits of the state, and the shipments entering the s ate at points where it wns impractica ble to station an inspector, have required the whole time—almost day and night— of two of tbo six inspectors, during the season. The chemist has been over whelmed with several thousands of sam ple*., The commissioner is confident th t the law ns it i9 has been faithfully cxe outed. The commissioner has bben in form- d that some instances have occurred (towards the close of the season and where f imiers were very urgent for the immediate delivery of the'r fertilizers) where agents have delivered feitilizcrs to farmers without giving the inspector time to reach the point of delivery. Several such cases, by direction of the commissioner, hive been repottcl to the prosecuting officers of the circuits where the offenses occurred, to the end that the penalty of the law may be imposed.

Stroud, of Crawford county, the follow ing information is given: Buckwheat (from buck-beech, and wheat), so called from the resemblance io shape of the grain to that of the beechnut, and the uses to'which it is applied, belongs to the Order Polygonacew, and is botani- eally known ns Fagopyrum esculentum. The grain is black or gray, three-angled, and about the size of common wheat. It will grow on even poor soil?, and ha? long been used as a soil improver, but it gives better results on good land. Sandy soils are best, but it will grow on a great variety of soils. Potash is the dominant fertilizing element required, and hence, wood ashes are a valuable fertilizer for buckwheat, but any of the ordinary ferti!- ize's. including stable manure, will do. Buck «\ heat is highly valued as a honey p’ant, although tbe honey from its flow ers is dark colored. When sown foi bees or for improving the soil, it should be sown in April; if for grain, August is - the proper time to sow it in Georgia. It During the hearing before him on Monday at Albany, N.

Six thousand would be a very large estimate of the number of persons in procession, nine-tenths of them being uniformed knights, organizations by di visions, brigades and battalions. Bands were numerous, and the music was very fine. Several companies were mounted. At the annual convention of the Kan sas state temperance union, held at To peka, a resolution was adopted, denounc ing the statement that a prohibitory law cannot be enforced, and asking that the National Republican Cgnvention adopt an anti-saloon plank. Mr?. J. Ellen Foster, of Iowa, addressed the conven tion. She said she was en route to Chi cago, and in the name of the Republican women of the country, would demand this time. FRUIT.

Mr. Jones met tho lady last Summer, w r hilo conducting a series of religious meetings at Laurens. The mother of the young lady was very much opposed to the match, but on the other hand it was favored by her father. On one occasion, it is said, tha*; Mr. Jones went to see his affianced, and was met by her mother who “shut the door in his face,” and refused to admit him. It seems Mr. Jones became tired of such obstacles, and with the aid of friends, secured the girl aud ran away and mar ried her. The happy couple were ex pected to leave on tbe night train, but unfortunately, the bride had left home in such haste that she neglected to carry her baggage, and therefore they were de tained.

A great million-dollar fire in Buffalo on February 1, which destroyed the dry- goods house of Barnes, Hengerer & Co., and seriously damaged other property, is explained. The firm reopened in a new locality, and among its employes is a cash boy named Andrew Howard, aged fourteen. Howard was arrested for a petty theft, and the detectives making the arrest suspected him of a knowledge of the fire. So they questioned him.

The time was winter, when large muffs were tbe proper caper, and muffs in the Crescent City were unknown. The first day out for a walk the young New Orleans gen tleman, noticing his fair cousin sup porting the large muff, mistook it for a burden, and said: “Cousin Lucy, let me tote you’ bah skin fo’ you?” “No, Cousin Thomas,” responded his companion, “all the young ladies in Cincinnati carry them; you see it’s the fashion.” “Well, I never saw but one of them before,” replied the young Chesterfield, “and that was in New Orleans, and a young lady was not totin’ it, either.
