Robinson. editor of the Citizen, for contempt, the editor appeared Saturday. His answcr to the charge of contempt was that -the editorial complained of did not rpresent the proceedings of the court un fairly. The criticism was made in pursuance ~f the rights of the press under the Constitu. tion of ~the United States, anp North Caro lina as well. The editor further denied that he intended. any contempt of court, and, under decisions of the Supreme Court oi North Carolina. it was believed by ah the attorneys that this purging of the defendant settled the matter. To the surprise of all present, however, udge Ewart, after a long decision from the bench, during which he displayed great feeling. ended by sentencing the editor of the ~Citizen to pay a fine of $250 and be imprison ed in the common jaiil of Buncombe county for thirty days. Bail was fixed at S2,000, and in a few minutes the bond was made up by the leading citizens--bankers, merchants and others of the city, and the editor was released from the custody of the court. An appeal was at once taken to the Supreme Court of North Carolina. The case will be fought by the best talent in the State. NO :MOREi ."'1 ED.

The cuference between In lian Agent Teter and the -,ttlers was of a very unsatisfactory character and ereatetd some bitter feeling. In 189. owing td thi i0'Pedted Pelihih o the settled and complaints of the county au thoritles of Uinta and Freemont counties, tht department of the interior, by circular lttter :f instructions, under date of February. 1;94, instructed the Indian agents at Fort Hall and Shoshone agencies to issue no paseca to Indians for the purpose of leaving their re servations, under an.y circumstances; and especially for the purpose of hunting-. "During the mpring of 189 the settlet of Jackson'; biolo determined to see to the en forcement of the game laws. On June 24th, a process was issued for the apprehension of nine Bannock Indians and placed in the hands of Constable Williant Manning fdr ser vice. One June 26th a constable and two deputies came upon seven of the Indians in the FaU river basin in the act of taking the hides of nineteen head of cow elk, which had just been killed. The Indians resented any interference with their unlawful acts and threatened the constables and depitties with personal violence If they (lid notitUmediatejf rave the vicinity, anl threatened the depu ties that if they of the people of Jackson's Hole in any manner interferred with their hunting they would kill every man, woman and child in Jackson Hole.

The wound, however, was not a serious one, and Capt. Smith returned the fire, killing one of the Indians and the others .made their escape. It is estimated that 3,000 'head of elk have already been killed by the Indians this season. The bodies of the elk are lying on the hillsides and timbered ravines, shorn of their hides only. Mother less calves follow the horses of the settlersas they pass through the country, their moth ers having been killed by the Indians. This is the cause of the trouble between the In dians and white men of this country." SIILL BUILDING IN THE SOUTH. rhis Year Promises tobe an Important One for the Textile Industry. The Louisville Courier-Journal , says: Last winter Massachusetts became so alarm ed over the prospect of lesing her cotton mills that a Legislative committee was seni down South to investigate the extraordinary advantages offered by this new manufactur ing region. This committee was followed by another of manufacturers. While their -in. vestigations were not wholly djseenfiging to New England e1tepr.s, the manufac turing Stajes..fth6 South were given an ad vertisemtent of priceless value. The result h ~6&i in the American Wool and Cotton R~e porter's list of the new mills under construe tion in the United States during the first sh months of the year. The showing is a remarkable one. North Carolina takes the lead with thirty-one Dev mills and a number of costly enlargements o old plants. South Carolina has twenty-two Georgia fourteen. Alabama five, Texas an Virginia three each. Arkansas two and Lou isiana one. Pennsylvania comes next t< ;North Carolina, withtwenty-nine new plants :and New York, with twenty-three, finishe ahead of South Carolina by a bare nose ~Massachusetts has only nineteen, and Nes 'Jersey exactly as many as Georgia. This year promises to be an extraordinar one for the textile industries. The numbea of new enterprises begun during the s;x months Is 201, while for the first six months ~of 1894 It was only 116, and the total for the year was but 263. The proportion of cotto: mills in the 1895 plants Is very large, ther blng 73 of these to 88 woollen, 57 knitting 16 silk and 17 miscellaneous. Not only does the South build a fine pre portion of these-new mills; she also has som of the largest to her credit. The princip~ ones are the Georgia branch of the Massa chusetts Cotton Mills, at Rome, with 30.00 ~spindles and 1,000 looms: the Hampton, S.C ?Cton Mills, with 50.000 spindles and 20 ooms, and a 30,000 spindle mill at Granby S. C. It is hard to guess how much this vast out lay of capital means to the whole country but especially to the South. Manufactorie have been so scarce down this way that few go a long distance; but this will not a ways be the case. Then this activity in mil building means a great awakening in th texile industries and better prices for ra' products. In the face of the new clip wo is advancing rapidly, rising 2 cents a poun last week, although the imports arc remark: bly heavy. Cotton is certain to ;go up. to' but even if it did not the plapters woul profit indirectly by having the new ma-k at their doors. The South will never hold all the cotto mills in the Union. For a long time v Massachusetts will retain her sceptre. Stil her advantages are becoming apparentt the world, and in the future she will capt::u the majiority of the new enternris Three Boys Killed. J. Waters Blundon, aged 13 years. J. Gu Brown. 15 years old, and Charles E. Lyncl: 15 years old, were killed near Rliverdale Par station. several miles from Washington o: the B. 0. R. R. The youngsters were walkin on the north-bound track. To avoid an ai: proaching train the boys stepped on th south-bound track, directly in front of a fas moving "Royal Blue" express train. A three were instantly killed, their bodie being frightfully mangled. The proposed British rai1lroad t< 'Ugands, Africs, will be a notable ad dition to the traveling fa~ilities i: Uandaland.

The immense crowd will gather and await with eager expectancy the signal that w'll open 1the Exposition to the sight-seers of the world. The wire will be connected with the throttle of the twin mammoth engines, all of the ibelts will be placed on the pulleys, the flags will struggle with the breeze, in their attempt to free themselves, dead silence will reign. iand then, like the lightning's stroke, the ~flash will come, and, with a lifelike move ment, the wheels will slowly turn, and the doors of the building will be opened to the world.

A TEXAS FAMILY EXTERMiNATOR A Farmer Kills his Wife and Daughter and then Shoots his Head Off. Henry Bradshaw, a farmer, living sixteen miles west of Paris. Texas, who has been in bad health for some time, entered his house with a shotgun the other evening and shot his wife in the back as she was at work in the kitchen. He then shot his four-year-old daughter. who was ini another room. The, charge struck her in the head and literally blew it off. Bradshaw then reloaded his gun, went into the sitting room, and laying down on the floor, placed the gun in his mouth, pushed the trigger with the result of almost decapitating himself. No other mo tive for the terrible deed can be given except Bradshaw had grown weary of living and~ did not want to leave his wife and child.

Large Increase in Railroad Traffle, Especially in Coal and Iron Regions.. Ieports to the 3Ismiifacturers' Record show . large increase in the traffl of Southern railroads, and especially those in the coal and iron regions. The Alabama Car Asso iation reports having handled nearly 21,000 cars in June against 12,000 in June of last year. The improvement in railroad affairs is bringing to the front a large number of railroad extensions of existing systems and also quite a number of short lines, which are being organized in many parts of the South, every State being represented. The number of cotton mills organized for the past week is even larger tban usual and includes two mills to cost $200,000 each at Greensboro, N. C., and two more being worked up at the same place, but not yet de finitely assured; a $200.000 mill at Lumber ton. N. C.: a $100.000 mill at Toecoa, Ga.: an increase of capital of over 8200,000 for the enlargement of a Tennessee mill; a 860.000 mill company at Salisbury. N.

A Lazy Ian's Labor Lightened. He can be seen at Longport, near Atlantic City, N. J., and is probably as lazy as any amateur fisherman that ever baited hook or hooked bait. He was seen the other day with three lines in the water. He was catching s many fish as the others with consii erably less effort. The lines of this ingenious individnal were fastened to small pieces of umbrella :ibs about twelve inches lang. About one inch from the end of the wires were fast ened small sleigh bells. When he cast the line into the water he drew it tant and then stuck the wires into the ground. .When a fish would nibble at the bait the bell would jingle and thus jraw the attention of-the fisherman to the line. It is beautiful. The old man drops his fish a line, and when they call on him they ring a bell. He is not obliged to think, everything is o comfortable about him. Brigands of Sicily. At Aci 1Reale, in Sicily, two broth ers who had sold some cattle and had the money with them were attacked in their farm house by nine masked bri gands, and one of them was shot. The carabinieri then came in, and, after a long fight, killed six of the brigands, captured the other three, and found that they were all townspeople, among them the village shoemaker and the baarbe-Lonisville 3ourier-Journal.

THE HOWEY BIBD. There is a curious little bird which frequents the haunts of the Bushmen in South Africa. The Bushman's food consists, as is well known, of roots, larve of ants, locusts and wild honey. This last'he discovers by means:of the little honey bird which hangs about his path, coaxing him to the nest in the hollow of a tree, or nook in a rook, and strange to say, it is only after the nest has been pillaged by man,-that the bird is willing to eat its share of the feast. In connection with this fact, a story is told of a Hottentot, who in endeav oring to explain to his comradas the vocation of a missionary, likened. the teacher to"the honey bird which says: 'Come, come,' and conduct us to the sweet treasure."-New York Ob server. nee upon a time a crtain mother noticed a remarkable change in the deportment of her six-year-old son, who from a rough, noisy, discourteou boy became transformed into one of the gentlest, most courteous and - con siderate little fellows - in the world. The child was attending the kinder garten, and the mother naturally in ferred that to his teacher was due*- the change she was glad to notice-in him. "Mies Smtih teaches you to be polite," she remarked, making what "No, she never teaches us one bit about it," was the instant and most emphatic reply. The mother was puzzled, for she as at a loss to account in any other way for so radical a change. A second and thir-d attempt to discover the cause of this condition was attended with a similar result-energetic denial upn the part of the child of any in strction in-the matter of courtesy. "Well, then, if Miss Smith doesn't say anything, what does she do?" she sked at length, quite desperate in her desire for light upon the matter. "She doesn't do anything. She just walks around, and we feel polite. We feel just as polite as-as every hing !" and the inquiring mother was fully satisfied.-Educational News. A REXARKARTE TOAD. In Surinam there is a remarkable toad-like creature, the female of which carries the young in a series of cells in the thick skin of the back, which ssumes a strange, honeycomb like ppearance- When this lady toad is carrying her nursery about with her she is a very repulsive -looking object. Single handed she would be unable to cope with the important question of placing eggs where they will be most favorably disposed for hatching, and for this she has to rely on the good services of her mate. Soon after the eggs are laid they are taken up by the male and pressed, one by one, into the cells in the thickened skin of his partner's back; there they grow until they fit closely to the hexagonal form of their prisons, sach of wvhich is cosed above by a kind of trap door. After a period of some eighty-two days the eggs reach their full develop ment and produce, not tadpoles, but actually perfect little toads. The rea son of this is that the tadpoles, which require to breathe the air dissolved in the water by means of their external gills, could not exist in the cells, and, consequently, this stage of develop ment is passed through very rapidly within the egg. In due time the young toads, to the number of 80 or 100, burst open the lids of their cells, poke out their noses, and make their en trance into the world. The mother toad rubs off the remnants of the cells against any convenient stone or plant stem, and comes out in a brand-new spring outfit. -Knowledge. The late John y. Bresnan, Chief of the New York Fire Department, killed on duty last December, is to be honored by a bronze sculpture por trait to be placed on one of the publie ildings.
