eration of the road. A detective was pnt upon hi track, and it was learned that Keel had disappeared from his former taunts in East Albany on Thursday afternoon, whence all trace of him was lost. From a chance remark the detectives were led to believe Keed was in Hudson, and telegraphed detective liryant to that effect, liryant secured his man in a house of doubtful character at midnight Saturday, and so thoroughly frightened Keed that he consented to come to Albany without a warrant and explain matters. Keed has tot been arrested, bat was. and still is, in the private custody of Chief Pinkerton in the Union Depot, on his own "volition. District Master Workman Lee, when informed of the arrests of Kiernan and Cordial, expressed much surprise at Kiernan'a arrest. He said that on Thursday niaht his wife told him that Kiernan and his wife passed his house at 11 o'clock, on the way to their own home, and had stopped to chat with Mrs. Lee. MOVEMENTS OF THE SUSPECTED MEN. It was rumored to-night that one of the men who is thought to have been a party to the placing of the obstruction on the New York Central road, which caused the wreck on Friday morning last, had left the town, and that his whereabouts remain unknown. The whole story of the movements of the wreckers after the obstructions were placed on the track, as learned to-night, is this: There were live men concerned in the dastardly work. After they had completed their work they took'what it known as the river road for a mile and a half, as far as Lorenzo Miller's house, and then went back about a mile over the hills into the woods in a northeasterly direction, and continuing on for four miles struck the turnpike that runs into the heart of the farming regions on .tbo east side of the . Hudson river. The men came down this ' road into Greenbush, where it is known as Columbia street. Either on the river road or on the turnpike the wreckers stopped at the house of a friend at 2 a. m. and asked for a drink of water. This friend is supposed to be Lorenzo Miller, who lives on the river road. Miller is a Knight of Labor, and went out on strike, but has since returned to work in West Albany, having the sanction of the Knights who were out to do so. It is known for a fact that the man who gave the wreckers a drink informed Kobert A. Pinkerton of the occurrence, and gave him the names of the men who comprised the party. It is not known how tho men reached the scene of the wreck, but probably singly, and under the cover of darkness, arriving there shortly .before midnight. The name of the man who is missing, it is rumored, is Ezra Yaeger, a striking Knight, ' . : : .

The following, relative to Yaeger s conduct during the strike, may lead to a verification of this rumor: Yaeger, on Aug. 23, in company with Kiernan, the man now in custody, was arrested and convieted for an assault on Charles Dillon, a Central railroad passenger conductor, but both were let off with a tine. On Aug. 27 both Yaeger and Kiernan were again in the hands of the law. They were in a house of questionable character the night before, when one of their comrades was robbed of some money. These two men. with several other strikers who were with them at the time, were arrested, but Yaeger and Kiernan were both released, as it was shown that neither of them took the money. These facts seem to show that the men have been traveling together since the strike. In fact, it has been ascertained that both men have always been boon companions, and especially so since the strike was inaugurated. The writer of this visited the house of Yaeger, at 10 o'clock to-night. He rang the bell, and was acswered by a woman's voice from behind the shutters of a window on the principal lloor. He asked if Mr. Yaeger was in. and, without opening the blinds, which were tightly closed, the woman replied that Mr. Yaeger had been away for two weeks. Continued questions relative to Mr. Yaener were propounded, which seemed to excite the women, who evidently was afraid her first answer was doubted, when she answered that she had received a letter from Yaeger this morning, dated at liutialo. Tho reporter then departed, and on his way down town learned from a police ollicer that detectives were looking for Yaeger, and had visited his house early this morning, when they arrested Kiernan and Cordial. The 6arae authority for the statement that it was the man who gave the men a drink of water on the night of the wreck who also "gave them away," told the writer that Cordial and Kiernan were two of tftreo men who are known to have placed the obstructions on both tracks, while tho the third man is one of the two who are still at large. Keed, who is still detained in the Union Depot, and another man, who has not been apprehended, stood on guard while the three men fixed the obstructions. MRS. M'GINTTS CRIME. Charged with Trjinc: to Bribe a Man to Kill a Pennsylvania Bank President. Newcastle, Fa., Sept. 8. Sarah Randolph, alias Mrs. McGinty, was put on trial here to-day charged with soliciting one Sam Kissinger to murder banker Foltz. Kissinger was the only witness called today. He said that last May ho received a letter from Mrs. McGinty, asking him to call on her on important business. He did so, when she offered him $1,500 if he would murder the president of the First National Bank. She would not give the name of the principal, but said a wealthy friend of hers wanted it done. Kissinger held soveral meetings with her, he being accompanied the last time by a detective, who was introduced as his brother. The woman again offered the $1,500, at the same time cautioning theta to murder the banker . after night, then rob him in order to avoid suspicion of any other motive. The case will continue to-morrow. The woman is obdurate and refuses to betray her wealthy friend. ' TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. - .

FOUR HUNTERS KILLED.

Struck by Lightning While Shooting Alligators on a Louisiana Lake, t ' New Orleans, Sept. 8. Four men were out in a small boat on Lake Fields, Lafourche parish, last Saturday, hunting alligators, when a storm arose. Before the men could reach the shore a black cloud hanging low in the sky passed directly over their boat and a blinding Hash of lightning darted eastward. Raymond Knight, who was in the vicinity watching the efforts of the men to reach the shore, saw the lightning strike the boat and the men disappeared. All four of the men were struck by the lightning. Three of them, the Bion brothers, from Pointe An Cliene, were dead when Mr. Knight reached them. A. M. V. Verdain. the other man, was severely shocked. Mr. Knight carried the dead bodies to Lockport, together with Verdain, who soon recovered. MEXICAN ANNEXATION". President Diaz Said to Be Very Favorable to It Drift of Sentiment. Chicago Post. '1 predict that ere this present generation shall have passed the republio of Mexico will be no more." It was by John P. Allen, who for the past ten years has been engaged in business in the Citj- of Mexico, that this remarkable declaration was made in the rotunda of the Palmer House, In explanation he added: "I mean that Mexico will by that time have become annexed to the United States. President Diaz will have no successor. I do not mean that annexation will come before the expiration of his present term, but before he finishes the next, or at the latest, thesucceeding term to the next. He is a most wonderful man, and much more American than Mexican. His ideas are American, and ho is fashioning his government as nearly on the plane of this government as it is possible for him to do. He is fosterintr with sedulous care the relations between the two republics, and, though the action of Secretary Windom in prohibiting the importation of silver-lead ore into this country from Mexico was a 6erious disappointment to President Diaz, as well as cause for self-congratulation by England, he believes that Windom's order will be before long set aside. Diaz, of course, is not alone in advancing the idea of annexation. He has a nowerful aid in advanced Mexicans who see that greater benefits are to be derived from a union than remaining alone. Moreover, quite as potent a force is the enormous amount of American capital in Mexico. The amount is rapidly increasing, too, and exercises an iniluence in behalf of annexation, which, together with the desire of Diaz, will be, before this generation ends, impossible to resist. There is not much being said openly about annexation at present. The republic of Mexico is not yet ready for it, and an agitation sprung now would but defeat its own ends. But in the higher circles of Mexican politics one hears it mentioned with a constantly growing frequency, and before long it will become the theme of common talk." Mangled by a Powder Explosion. Braddocks, Pa., Sept. 8. A keg containing 100 pounds of gun-powder exploded about noon to-day at McCrady and Gogg's stone quarry. One man was killed and others were Dadly Injured. The dead and injured are: McDonald, William, dead; blown almost entirely to pieces. Albert, George, badly injured; Bunker, Albert, badly burned; Pattroka, Tony, badly burned; Thomas, James, badly burned. All of these are( so terribly injured that they may die. There were about thirty men standing around the powder preparing for a blast when the explosion occurred. Matrimonial Item. Texas Sittings. 'I am very sorry that I did not get acquainted with you until I had become a widower," remarked' Mr. Smith to his second wife.

"Why do you wish that I had been your first wifet".. - "Because then some other woman would be my second wife, darling." .Slightly Inconsistent. Memphis Avalanche. , There has never been the smallest proof that the murder of Clayton was due to politics. He had many bitter personal enemies, and it is not at all unlikely he was shot down by one of them. The fact that the murder was done while he was in the act of investigating fraud at Plummersville is . the only ground upon which the charge that it was a political murder could be based. The circumstantial evidence is strong, but many an innocent man has been hanged on evidence of Jfchat kind Protected Prosperity. Kansas City Times (Free-trader). There is some interesting matter in the Times this morning which will hardly please the croakers elsewhere that havo .preached the waning of Kansas City's development.

POSSIBILITIES OF AGRICULTURE. What All Farming Must Become as the World's Population Grows. Philadelphia Record. . In a recent magazine article on the possibilities of agriculture. Prince Krapotkine points out that while since , the ud of the last century the population of France has not increased even by 50 per cent., the peasants have nearly doubled both the area under wheat and the returns from each acre, so as to increase almost forufold the amount of wheat grown in that country. In 17S9, with a population of 27,000.000, there were 9,S81,C0O acres -under wheat, yielding 87,8S0,000 bushett; while in 1888, with a population of SS.000.000, tho average of wheat was 17,198.000. and the crop in bushels Sll.619,000. The ratio of increase of the wheat crop during that period has, therefore, been two and a halt times greater than the ratio tf increase of population; although agriculture has been hampered by enormous taxation "(44 per cent, of the gross returns), military service, migration to cities, poverty of the peasantry, and other like drawbacks. The district of Satl'elare. in east Flanders, comprises 37,000 acres, and has to support o0,000 inhabitants, all living by agriculture; and yet these peasants not only grow their own food, but they also export agricultural produce and pay rents of from 15 to $25 per acre. On an unproductive . but easily cultivated sandy soil they produce from thirty-eight to thirty-nine bushels of wheat to the acre, or seventyeight bushels of oats, or forty-three tons of beet-root, besides keeping iu tho same area 10,720 horned cattle, 3.800 sheep. 1.S15 horses and 6,550 swine. While all this may be done on an unproductive soil by rational manuring, tho productivity of the soil may be still further increased by irrigation. On the irrigated meadows of France six tons of hay to the acre are the rule, and near Milan, in Italy, the 22,000 acres of land irrigated with water derived from the sewers of the city, yield, as a rule, crops of from eight to ten tons of hay. But it is when we come to consider what has been done by market gardening that we begin to realize the possibilities of the agriculture of the future. It was an argument of Humboldt's that an acre of cround planted with bananas would support as much life as thirty acres sown with wheat. The market gardeners near Paris pay as rent $126 per acre on the average; and this is a good test of the results obtained. The island of Jersey, which comprises 28,717 acres, rocks included, has & .population of about two persons to each acre. They grow 70,000 tons of potatpes each year, representing a money value of $2,000,000; they grow plenty of cereals and grass for cattle; they export every year, besides an enormous amount of dairy produce, some fifteen hundred milch cows; and, on the whole, they obtain agricultural produce to the amount of $250 for each acre of the surface of the island. The neighboring island of Guernsey is a land of market gardening, which has developed, of late, into greenhouse culture. There aro five hundred tons of crapes grown every year, representing a money value of $215,000; ordinary vegetables to-, matoes, potatoes, carrots, peas and beansbeing also grown to a great extent. Everywhere there are glass shelters, which yield crop after crop throughout the spring, summer . and autumn. Threefourths of an acre covered with glass and heated in the spring will yield eight tons of tomatoes as a lirst crop in April and May, to be followed by two crops more during the summer and autumn; and it has been calculated that thirteen acres of a glass vinery will bring in a greater money return than does an ordinary English farm of 1,300 acres. In all this there is much food for thought for our own agriculturists. It should not be forgotten that these results may be obtained under any climate and any soil; and they constitute a complete refutation of those politico-economic theories which are based upon the impossibility, of satisfying tho needs of all. CARLOS PELLKGRTNL Pedigree and Interesting Career of the New President of the Argentine Republic. Chirapo Tost. t The fact is not generally known) that Dr. Carlos f Pellegrini, who succeeded the incapable and corrupt Juarez Celman in tho presidency of the Argentine Republic, is a cousin of the late John Bright, the famous British Liberal. His grandmother's maiden name was Priscilla Bright, the favorite sister of Mr. B right's father, Jacob Bright. She married a Quaker gentleman of London, named Bevan, who went out in the interests of science to Buenos Ayres. Mr. and Mrs. Bevan,' in their South American life.maintained very religiously all their Quaker principles. Mrs. Bevan had two daughters, one of whom married a lr. Pellegrini, v an Italian engineer, and the President of the Argentine Republic is one of the sons of this marriage. ' Dr. Pellegrini is forty-three years of age. He was educated at tho Tjni versify of Buenos Ayres. Joining the army, he took part in th war of the allies, Buenos Ayres. lirazu ana Montevideo, . against raiaauay. After this he adopted the profession of an advocate, and practiced at the bar with much success. Having been elected Deputy for the province of Buenos Ayres, he made a figure in the assembly as a leading politician, and became Minister of tho Interior shortly after the crisis iti 1880, when Carlos Tejeiior, Governor of 'the province of Buenos Ayres, headed a revolution against the national government under President Nicholas Avelleneda, and was defeated in the battles of Coralles and Puente Alsina. As the result of that revolution Buenos Ayres became definitely the capital of the Argentine 'Republic, and General Roca was President from 1SS0 to 18S6 in succession to Avelleneda. He was greatly assisted by Dr. Pellegrini in the needful measures of administrative reform, which wero accompanied by largo enterprises, the making of roads, railways and canals, harbor and city improvements, commercial t a rills and the negotiation of a foreign loan, managed by Dr. Pellegrini with remarkable success. Ho also established two political journals the Opinione and the Sua America of which he was the editor. Dr. Pellegrini was in Paris - during the great exhibition of last year as representative of the Argentine Republic s As to Face Powder. Illn strnteA American. The very best powder for toilet nse should be made at home, and, after giving it a trial, it is safe to predict that no woman will be without a supply on hand. The recipe calls for a pjmnd of prepared chalk, that can be purchased at any druggist's for '25 cents. It is then in a rough state, calculated to cut and clog the skin. Begin by washing the chalk. Put the powder in a basin with a quart and a half of clear water and then rub briskly between the lingers. Let it settle a bit, and pour the water off slowly to carry all the imEurities with it. This process should e repeated again ' and again, until the chalk lies at the bottom of tho vessel, a pale cream-color, in a paste free from specks of any sort. Now spread on white letter-paper, to dry in the sun, and afterward mix with a little orris-root powder, a half teaspoonful of rose-water and a dash of cologne. This necessitates another exposure to the sunshine, and thus gives one enough harmless and deliciouslv perfumed powder to last six months. A pleasant and convenient method of keeping ono's powder is to put a quantity in a medium-sized pasteboard-box and apply with a soft white Bannel bag. For the face a soft brush, like those sold for baby-baskets, will distribute satisfactorily and never leave any disfiguring streaks or patches. . m m New Street-Car Motor. Boston Transcript. A new system of.operatiogr street railways has been patented. It is an application of the Archimedes screw. In a conduit beneath the car track is placed a wroushtiron tube with a stout worm, and in place of the srip used on the cable lines is a shoe pushed forward by the worm, and raised or lowered at the will of the operator by a vertical rod.

A Generous Woman Who Entertains Tier Friends and Supports Her Relative. Brunswick, In Boston Transcript. Mme. Modjeska will return to this country in the spring, and will. I suppose, go at onco to her ranch; then in the fall of li&l she will organize a company of her own and go upon the road for a few months. bo is having a new play written for her now by Mr, A. R. Uaveu, with Marie Antoinette as tho heroine. I should think that Mmo. Modjeska could interpret the character of this ill-tated' Queen with rare sympathy, and tbo rolo seems to me to be particularly well chosen. Tho o,uiet of ranch life seems to thoroughly agree with Mme. Modjeska, much moro so than the excitements of the stage. I do not believe that the ranch is a sourco of pecuniary revenue yet. for neither Mme. Modjeska nor her husband are practical tanners, but they know how to enjoy ranch life. They are going in for fruit-raising now pears, plumbs and the like and now that tho grape-vine disease has apparently run its course they are going to plant a vineyard. Not for the purpose of sending ripe grapes to the market, but to make raisins, the "glorious climate of? California" being particularly adapted for, the drying process, which is done, when i done properly, in the open air, and takes ati least three weeks of sunshine. A year or so ago Mr. Bozenta. Mme. Modjeska bus-, band, thought that he would like to raise cattle, and he laid in a big stock; but I xancy tho scheme did not pay, for ho told me the other day that they were only goinjf to keep about fifty head of cattle, just enough for their own use! What a difference the point of view, or should 1 say the point of the compass, makes. Here in the East we would think iif ty head of cattlo quite a stock farm, but in the West, where they count their live stock by the hundreds ' that is merely enough for family nse. Their families aro bigger than onrs. too. The cottages of her employes make quite a village on Mme. Modjeska's ranch; and then she keeps open house. There is never a time when her rooms aro not tilled with guests. Mme. Modjeska ought to have been a princess, for she lives liko one on a much, smaller income. 1 don't believe that she saves a penny, she has such a tribe of dependants, both in this country and her own. who seem to think that she was given her talent entirely for their support. It would be amusing if it did not h:iv m serious a side. She never complains, but accepts it ail as a matter of course, and seems rather pleased than otherwise to bo of service to so manv people. She i. a wonderful woman as well as a great actress. Social Conditions Are Not Pleading. Atlanta Constitution. With booming crops and rising industries the outlook is bruht. Our progress is phenomenal in everything, except in the matter of population. In spite of a stationary birth rate, a smaller death rate, and the immigration from the North and West, our increase of population is very email smaller than in previous decades. He Was Lucky.
