In tho presence of a thou-iml spectators two bull buffalo s Hrnwn IW-auty and Antonio fought a lordly battle in thf ran?c of thi Zoological l'ark in the Ilronx yesterday. Antonio fell desperately wounded, and ürown lieauty i kins of the henl. It was a struggle of the giants, and while it lasted the other buffaloes', with one exception, stood at a respectful distance to watch the combat. The exception was Bonita, the mate of Brown IJeauty. Fearing for her lord and master, ?he tried to aid him in the fight, but he did not need her a.-?istance. To those who know the ways of the buffalo this struggle was not unexpected. In the park are two full-grown buffaloes and two calves. Thir range is in the southeastern part of the zoological garden. Among the buffaloes, as among all the animal families, there Is one king. Drown Ueauty has been king, but Antonio aspired to the throne. Nearly all the buffaloes were obtained from "Buffalo Jones," an animal dealer who makes hi3 headquarters at Oklahoma, and Is known from the Rio Grande to the Platte. Brown Beauty and Antonio have been in captivity two years. Until recently there was no dispute in the herd as to the leadership. Antonio of late has shown a spirit of impatience and aggressiveness he never displayed before. There have been grumblings and low bellowings in the buffalio herd for the last two weeks the thunder before the storm and the cows firi'l the calves have been uneasy and fretful, for they knew what the sounds portended. Keepers have been watchful, but the trouble was so long in developing that they wer misled. They thought the two big bulls would continue to growl menacingly, and never go beyond that. It was not until to-day that Brown Beauty was anpered beyond endurance. He had surrendered the choicest grazing ground to the aspirant for the kingship, had answered challenges with disdain and had avoided as well as he could the presence of his rival, but the gauge of battle was thrown down when Antonio tought to drive the leadtr away from Bonita. Then Brown Beauty realized he had to tight or resign his title. It wai at 2 o clock In the afternoon that the encounter began. The two bulls, massive, shaggy monsters, bellowing their defiance with all the energy the!:- great lungs permitted, withdrew from the herd, and, with tails flirting, heads bobbing and sides heaving, cantered to an elevated plain near the center of the inclosure. Then pawing the earth until they had raised clouds of dujt they charged. The sound of the crash as the two big bulls came together could be heard a long distance. Their horns locked, and they bent their great backs in the mighty effort to force each other back or get an opening for another move. The bellowing of the bulls as they trugKled was heard a half mile away. The other animals took up the cry, and the park resounded with the growls of the blasts. While the buffaloes were struggling Keepers Mulvihill and McEnroe got long pikes, and. jumping into the inclosure, ran to sepai ate the combatants. The bulls were too intent upon their own affairs to pay any attention to the proddings from the keepers, but the move of the two men teemed to be considered by Bonita as detrimental to Brown Beauty, and she dashed out from the herd and made for the plateau to join in the strife. Both keepers had to abandon the effort to separate the bulls and turn their attention to Bonita. Reluctantly and with many attempts to evade them, she was forced back. While the keepers were thus engaged there came a sudden turn in the tide of battle between the bulls. Tho two big fellows had backed from each other and prepared for a charge. Brown Beauty was the more agile. Antonio was blowing hard. By a fiuiek turn of his head Brown Beauty Impaled his rival, one of his horns entering Antonohs's side and siaking deep. Slowly but steadily Antonio was forced back. Then, weak and suffering, he fell. As Brown Beauty drew off to charge again Antonio wheeled and met his enemy bravely, but the force of the other's weight knocked the wounded bull down. He rolled over, not once alone, but twice. He had been driven to the edge of a declivity, and as he rolled the second time he tumbled down in the dust ard dirt below. Brown Beauty was king. Out of the mouth of the victorious bull a great bellow of triumph proclaimed the end of the combat. Then he pawed the earth again and seemed to look for other rivaU who might care to engage him in battle. The crowd of men and women without the inclosure cheered. They had seen a struggle of giants. Antonio suffers from a wound twelve inches deep and three and one-half inches in diameter. Every care will be given him, and it is expected that he will recover. VIRGINIA CONSTITUTION.

The committee on elective franchise of the constitutional convention decided to-day to begin voting next Saturday upon the several propositions before it defining the qualifications of voters. The plan which appears now to receive most favor is that requiring a poll tax of $1.50 and an educational requirement to be applied by a board of registration. Old soldiers, either Federal or Confederate, and their sons, to be exempt from all special requirements except the payment of the tax. The committee on the judiciary made an Ineffectual effort to-day to aprree on a report tor the reorganization of the judiciary. The committee will ask to be allowed to s-it during the sessions of the convention ar.d will make a strong effort to conclude its labors before adjourning next Friday. The convention to-day continued Its discussion of the preamble and bill of rights, but before this was entered upon received a number of petitions and resolutions on the latter, the most important hini one offered ry Mr. O' Flaherty, rixing J.V) as the maximum of the contingent fund and providing no payment can be made out of the fund except upon the written order of. the Governor.

LIFE CHEAP IN CHICAGO

MOIti: ftRADU-CUOSSISft FATALITIES THERE THAN IN OTHER l'LACES. Total of CIO In One Year, Compared with an AjJKreKnte of 4M In Mne Leading Cities. CHICAGO, Sept. 4. Chicago's distinction among cities of the country is shown by the census reports in more than one direction, but one line in which it outclasses other great municipalities is not likely to arouse much pride here, either among citizens or in the City Hall. In the matter of deaths from railroad accidents during the census year, as is made evident by Census Bulletin S3, Chicago's total is 230. The total in the nine other largest cities of the United States is 4 SC. Ethelbert Stewart, who came here some time ago as a special representative of the Federal Labor Bureau to study industrial and food conditions In Chicago, has been comparing these figures, and llnds that the grade-crossing horror by no means has been banished from this city. St. Louis, which, likewise, is a large railroad center, has a record of only nine deaths for the year one death against thirty-seven in Chicago, while its population is approximately one to three. Mr. Stewart says: "From Census Bulletin 83 I have prepared a table showing the number of deaths from railroad accidents during the census year in the ten principal cities of the United States. To this I have added the census population of these cities and compared the totals with the like figures for Chicago. Deaths from railroad accidwus.

"Practically 10 per cent, of all deaths from railroad accidents in the United States occur In Illinois," continued Mr. Stewart. "The exact figure Is for the entire country 6,376 males, 554 females, a total of 6.920. Of these fatalities. 607 occurred in Illinois, C06 being males and 61 females. Of the fatalities in Chicago 257 were killed by steam cars and 73 by street cars. Practically all were at grade crossings. "It Is not difficult to see the importance to railroads of legislation in Illinois restricting the amount of damages collectible by law for killing a human being. And on the railroad idea of best rates to largest shippers, it must be clear that the Illinois Legislature could afford to give the railroads better killing rates than obtain in other States, and to make a special rate for Chicago, inasmuch as one-half the total killing business is done here. "To that large percentage of the population, however, whose limited business education prevents them from grasping the railroad view of this matter, this enormous slaughter in Chicago seems largely criminal; done because it is cheaper than not to elo it; and the effort made to secure a lowlimit to legal damages is taken as an evidence that the companies have no intention of making an expensive effort to stop It. "One result from this sort of thing will be, it seems to me, that these unbusinesslike majorities will, after awhile, conclude that if it requires such a human holocaust to pay dividends on privately owned railroad stocks the public government had better try its hand, since its campaigns of Santiago and Porto Rico in open war suffered less from actual killing than results from one year of railroad peace in Chicago." MISSIONARIES TERRORIZED. Indians (jot Drunk und Attempted to Kill Eaeh Other. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-In a letter dated at Sitka, Aug. 19, Governor Brady, of Alaska, reports to the Interior Department a general carousal and fight among the natives at Yakitat, an Indian settlement, 250 miles north of Sitka, which is headquarters f.or an important Swedish missionary and educational enterprise. The Governor says that for some time past reports have been received of the lawless conduct of the natives, and that he prevailed upon Captain Kilgore, of the revenue cutter Hush, to take him to the point. Accompanied by United States Commissioner De Groft he arrived there soon after the departure of the mail steamer Newport, on Aug. 8. He found the Newport had dealt out a large quantity of whisky. "Consequently," says he, "the natives became furiously drunk and turned to lighting. The missionaries said they were afraid of their lives, for they did not know at what moment the naives would turn upon them. He found most of the natives w ith bruised and patched-up faces. Com-J missioner De GrofT held court for two days and a night, the result being eight convictions. Among the men convicted was Captain Lawton, of the schooner Dauntless, for selling liquor to the natives. The partv vaccinated 161) of the natives. Governor Brady takes advantage of this Incident to make an appeal for a vessel to be placed at his command for emergencies like that at Yakitat.

Overton Paine, a stock broker of this city, pleaded not guilty in Police Court to-day on a chargo of grand larceny, brought against him at the instance of Maurice A. Thorner. The hearing was adjourned until Sept. 21. In a statement submitted to the court Paine declared that the only basis for the charge was on a conspiracy entered into between a former employe and some speculators who had lost money in stock transactions, and were seeking to recover through criminal proceeding;. Thorner said there might have been a conspiracy, but he did not know anything of it. In his case, he said he had a margin of with Paine to buy Northern Pacific with, and that at the time the market made its sen.ational jump he supposed his orders had been executed and that h was ahead to the extent of f:V(" or Jh.ono.

Complaints hav been strongest among Northern and Eastern spinners, though the South, while its aggregate e-onsumption increased, has its chare eif the depression. This has been emphasized by the contrast with last year's activity H.mi its record-breaking consumption. The Chinese liüiculties. which over

shadowed the closing months of last season, continued to exert an unfavorable influence, and competition between Northern and Southern spinners In home markets was, in consequence, materially Increased. Shorter time and lessened production were the result. During the past sixty days the outlook has brightened, though it is not all that could be desired.

LETTER CARRIERS AT PLAY. Game of EnKchnll on nn Historie Battle (round near Chattanooga. CHATTANOOGA. Tenn., Sept. 4. The National Association of Letter Carriers spent the third day of the twelfth annual convention amid the monuments, markers and boulevards of Chickamauga National Park. A lunch was served at noon near Snodgrass hill. In the afternoon a game of baseball between the New York carriers' band and a team from the New York delegation created much enthusiasn and merriment. The game was played at the foot of Snodgrass hill, where the heaviest lighting was done during the civil war. The letter carriers returned to the city from Chickamauga Park over the famous Crest road over Mission ridge. Business sessions were resumed at 8 o'clock to-night. The majority of the credentials committee reported in favor of unseating Dekgate-at-large O'Donnell. of South Carolina, because the branch to which he belongs was not a member of the state association. After a bitter wrangle a minority report to seat O'Donnell was adopted. In the matter of the contesting delegations from Chicago the credentials committee reported in favor of seating tho delegates selected on June 30. The report was argued long and bitterly, the lie being passed several times between members of the committee. HOGG IS "HOGGISH. Former Texas Governor Want to Control Transportation of Oil. FORT WORTH, Tex.. Sept. 4. James W. Swaine, of Fort AVorth, and ex-Governor James S. Hogg, owners of the famous Hogg-Swaine oil syndicate, of Beaumont, start for Europe to-morrow to organize a $25,0oi.00 pipe line company to establish a pipe line from Spindle Top to Port Arthur and Sabine Pass. The project carries with it the purchase of a line of 100 tank steamers and the erection of a 5.000,0o0-barrel tankage at the ports. Mr. Swaine says the company will have the product of sixty wells to draw from, and expects to market 100, UoO barrels daily.

BERLIN, Sept. 4. The commander of the German fleet maneuvering in the Baltic telegraphed to-day from Sassnitz, Island of Ruegen, that the third-class cruiser Wacht has been sunk off Arkona, after having been in collision with the battleship Sachsen. There was no loss of life. The Wacht was a steel cruiser of 1.2.V tons displacement. She was built in 17, was 202 feet long, had 31 feet 6 Inch beam, and drew 13 feet 0 inches of water. The Wacht had an armored deck two inches thick and carried a crew of 12' men. Her armament consisted of four 3.4 inch iuickflring guns and two smaller quick tirers. She had three torpedo tubes and was estimated to have a speeel of about nineteen knots. JEWEL'S SEIZED. Diamond nml Other fiem Wortli 5.MV on Which Mo Duty Wh Fnid. CHICAGO, Sept. 4. Diamonds and other valuables worth $23, OX), which were recently slipped into the country by a prominent Chicago man on his return from Europe, without the payment of duty, have been seized by J. J. Crowley, special agent of the Treasury Department in this city. The jewels, which were purchased. It is said, in Paris, have been turned over by Mr. Crowley to William Penn Nixon, collector of customs in this city. He will hold them until orders fcr their disposition are finally received from Washington. An effort is being made to settle the case with as little publicity as possible. It is probable that the owner of the valuables will pay all the costs, which will amount to something like $10,0uo, and thus avoid prosecution. WOMAN STRANGLED.

The woman, apparently, had been strangled and there were Indications that the body had been dragged to the spot where it lay. Pasquale Cavicho, an Italian, employed at the Portsmouth navy yard, in whose company the woman had been seen in questionable resorts, is under arrest on suspicion of having knowledge of the murder. The coroner found that Mrs. Waldron was choked to death.

FARM AND GARDEN. INTERESTS

The Ilronsht nnel It LcHon. Indiana Farmer. Billions of gallons of water and not a drop for p;irehir.g vegetation, are the conditions of dry seasons which come frequently. These seasons ought to teach us to make some provision for them. Let us indicate brictly how this might, in some measure, be elone. There are more than miles of natural water courses In Indiana which for mere than a month annually run off and waste Hood tides of water, most of which at eligible points could be run into elevated reservoirs and store! for irrigating purposes in dry seasons. The construction of kerosene and grsoline engines have brought th m elown so cheaply as to make their use feasible and profitable in Idling farm reservoirs. Again, under almost every section of land in the State is found inexhaustible supplies of water by wells. Not flowing, but with these cheap engines could be made available in providing water in times of drought. It may be said that all the wide acres of the State could not be reached with artificial water provided In these ways. That s true. But because all of them could not be provided for in drought is no reason why some of them might not be. Suppose that one-eighth of the acres in cultivation could thus be reached, would not thät be better than none? There are about 12,OjO,OuO acres of land annually under cultivation in Indiana, not counting meadows and pasture lands. Would it not be better to secure l,-r00,o0 acres against drought than to suffer loss of production on all. How much water would it require for this? Estimates which have beta carefully prepared show that the amount of water required to cover an acre one inch deep is L'7.154 gallons. The average inches of rainfall during the three growing and usually dry months. June, July and August, is about ten inches. In drought seasons this is reduced to a little over live inches, and on this basis would require about four and a half Inches of artificial water to make the season normal in moisture. For 1.5e,MJ acres of land, being one-eighth that in annual cultivation, the extra water required In drought seasons, such us this has been, would be biS.--üu),OA gallons. Careful estimates have teen made showing that the rivers and considerable water courses of the State at Hood tide carry away many times this amount of water, to say nothing of smaller streams. And the water resources by wells is almost illimitable. Many of the larger streams of the State have much fall, passing through wide valleys of alluvial lands, and by ditches water could be carried to elevated reservoirs from which it could by gravity be carrie d over the lands for irrigation. This method, supplemented with cheaply run engines, could do a great deal to aid in dry seasons. There is nearly always in each season the need for artificial water for maturing the small fruitr. and the vegetables of the market gardeners. The small acreage devoted to this by eaeh of the thousands of small farmer.-, could in most instances be provided for, and it would provide a source of income Justifying the expense of it, almost every season. It has been objecte-d that some of our heavy clay lands will not elo well under irrigation. That may bo. But the lands well fertilized with barn-yard manure, and all the sandy loams, bear irrigation well, and crops will nourish on them. The small fruit and vegetable lands besides much of the others partake eif the qualities which do bear irrigation. Billions of gallons of water around us. and beneath, but not a drop in times of dire necessity is a condition that could with great profit be eneled to some extent. Consider what has happened in all the great central cities where there are millions of consumers, this year. Tomatoes at $0 a bushel, table corn at 50 cents per dozen, string beans at i cents a quarter peck, and the other vegetables in proportion. The few small farmers who may see their opportunity and provide for it will hardly regret the; expense of engines, and tanks and water provisions for iry seasons. On a small scale these provisions are being made. They need to be enlarged greatly. Preparing; Permanent Pasture. Country Gentleman. We recommend the following for one acre: Red clover, G pounds; alsike clover, 4: Kentucky bluegrass, ÖV-; orchard grass, 2lzm, meadow fescue, Zi:; timothy, 5. In sowing, the heavy and light seeds should be sown separately, in order to insure even distribution. The seeel bed must be well prepared. Many failures are due to the fact that the grass seed is sown upon an unprepared er poorly prepared seed bed, there seeming to prevail a general notion among farmers that grass can be sown upon an ordinary corqpact soil, and that it will do about as well as when sown upon thoroughly prepared soil. The land should be plowed and harrowed, and in case it is somewhat deficient in available plant food a dressing of general fertilizer should be given. Possibly the following chemicals might be applied per acre with good results: Acid phosphate, 10) pounds; muriate of potash, 5u; dried blood. Ml. If the land Is apparently in good condition, as indicated by its ability to produce crops, this application of fertilizer may be omitted. All other grasses mentioned should be sown about the middle of September, and the clover seed hail be better sown in the early spring, as in our latitude thero is great danger of the clover being killed during the winter. If the danger of winter-killing is not great the clove r seed may be sown In Septembe-r at the same time the other seeds are sown. Where It is desired to secure tho best possible conditions for the grass it is better to sow it alone in the fall, rather than with some other crop. It is not necessary that grass should have a nurse crop, because in most cases the nurse crop uses up the plant food and moisture which are necessary to secure a stand of grass. If the land is so hilly that it cannot well be plowed a disc or spring-toothed harrowshould In; used, and the surface of the land should be thoroughly loosened before the grass seed is sown. If the land breaks up in e!od. a heavy roller should be used to crush the elods. In fact, when seeding with grass it is nearly always a good plan to use a rolleT for compacting the soil. Rolling shou'd be done before the grass seed is sown, and after rolling a light smoothing harrow should be used. In covering the seed there is no hotter implement J. (Jage, secretary of the treasury, will be present and is on the programme for "an informal taik." The local committee has arranged for a number of receptions and excursions, and also a "German lunch." HEALTH FOOD FOR A III IIGLAU. A Compulsory Meal Which He Took nt .Mielnlght. Chicago Tribune.

In the early spring, the farmer goes into the lield with the plow having a elouble mold-board. He runs a furrow between the stubbie of the rows of corn of the previous year. There fedlows him a little machine, called a lister, drawn by one horse walking in the fur row. The corn is plante! In this way in the furrow, all by machinery. After the : corn come, up in the furrows, a man with , a span of horses ilrags a long plank laiel ! across the furrows, with a teat upon it, : lengthwise, of the furrows, ami. crowds the i loose dirt down around the corn. This is its first cultivation. Subsequently, he uses improved elouble cultivators drawn by two horses, and nature does the rest until it is time to harvest the crop. j The old way was to turn over the entire field, harrow the same, mark it with a corn-marker, and plant It by hand; then to cultivate with a single cultivator, drawn ; by a horse walking between the rows, which was followed by individuals with hand hoes. This enlarged use of machinery in agriculture lecreases the number nf laborers each year in proportion to the amount of raw product or material produced. Yiieit Sneeesufnl Farmer. National Stockman. Every man can learn something from other skilled men if he will. This includes farmers. Those whose work is so largely visible can learn a great deal by observation. There are farmers whose methods have been very successful. Their places should be visited whenever an opportunity occurs and their methods studied. The experiment farms have lessons also for their visitors who want to learn them. We have known progressive young farmers to spend a great deal of time and money inspecting the farms of noted farmers and breeders ami have yet to hear of one regretting it. They got more than their money's worth, but they went for a purpose and in the right spirit. They didn't say ef every new thing: "Well, that won't elo for us, though it may be all right here," or "It can't be done by the ordinary farmer." etc. Go a-visiting, go with a purpose, and leave all prejudices at home. Government Hog: Cholera Remedy. Up-to-Date Farming. As the season is arriving when hog cholera is most likely to be epidemic, we publish the prescription of the Bureau of Animal Industry. It is claimed that it Is beneficial in warding off the disease anil should be used as a preventive for all well herds. Pulverize and mix thoroughly: One part wood charcoal, One part sulphur. Two parts sodium chloride (salt), Two parts sodium bicarbonate (soda). Two parts sodium hyposulphite, One part todium sulphate, One part antimony sulphate. Dose, one tablespoonful for each 200 pounds weight of hog once a day. Farm otes. A hop vine, Virginia creeper, honeysuckle or morning glory may be an insignificant thing, but an ornamental plant, growing in the right place, may add a thousand dollars to the value of a farm that is for sale. Sour apples make a thin, watery cider; sweet apples a rich, thick cider which will contain a high percentage of alcohol as fermentation advances. By careful mixing sweet anel sour varieties, cider of almost any quality can be secured. If twenty bushels per acre of wheat give satislactiem to the grower, it is nj reasejn why he should not aim for larger yields. It requires just as much eed for twenty bushels as for forty, and also as much plowing, drilling, harvesting and care. On rich and warm soil, if frost does not appear too soon, a late crop of string beans may be grown for pickling, as thev can be picked in any stage of growth. The seeds should be planted without delay, however, and some early variety used. Pack them in brine and use them as wanted lor pickling or for t he table in winter. From 57 to 0) elegrees is the temperature for cream when it goes into the churn, but the condition of the cream and the manner of churning will influence the quality of the butter. Cse a thermometer when churning, as frequently when the butter eloes not come the fault may be due to too high or too low temperature. Spinach is a crop that is usually planted in the fall. It is hardy and endures severe winters. The seed may be broadcasted or sown in drills, but the drill system should be preferred. Another winter vegetable which remains in the ground until spring is salsify, which, however, is seeded in May. Turnips if left in the ground will produce early greens in spring, and so will the stalks of cabbage if they are left with their roots in the ground. The most popular plant for affording early greens in winter, however, is the spinach. An acre of soil nine inches deep, if of ordinary fertility, is estimated to weigh about Smi.ooo pounds, and contains about pounds of nitrogen, 3,00 pounds phosphoric acid and 6.W0- pounds potash, but these elements are not in a condition in the soil to provide the necessary plant food except by a slow process. The roots of plants are capable of reducing them, hence every crop that is grown anil plowed under represents so much of the inert substances that have been changed by the plants and made available. Such crops do not add mineral matter to the soil, but bring it within reach of the farmer. In the course of time, if the crops are removed from th-3 soil, the land will become poor and sterile. The best food for producing eggs depends upon the conditions in which the fowls are kept. In summer the hens get a variety of food, but in winter they have no choice of selection. If the food is largely of grain the best mode of inducing the hens to lay is to withhold grain and give lean meat, about an ounce a day to each hen. Liver or other cheap forms of animal food will also answer. Dried ground blood, animal meal and bone meal are likewise excellent aeMitlons. When the hens lay double-yolk eggs or eggs with soft shells the cause is not due to a lack of lime, as many suppose-, but to too much fat on the body of the hen, the remedy being a nitrogenous diet (meat) instead of grain. The extra eggs laid will pay for the more expensive foods and give a profit as well. more substantial though somewhat sordid payment of innkeepers, guides and relic peddlers. The case is the more aggravated that JJn.ouU already has been raised in England and only $:rjuu must be added before the middle of October. When the English have done so much to preserve the places made sacred by the great, our literary heritage, as we'll as theirs, is it not a shame that America should not make up the paltry three-filths of the whole amount needed?

that so many hundreds of thousands of Americans suffer frcm indigestion. It means that the blood of the nation Is becoming impure; for undigested food poisons the blood. "Unless a method Is deTised for overcomini: thi3 malady,our race must detcnorate.M Many persons use soda tablets to neutralize fermenting food; this only makes a chemical receptacle out of the stomach, and injures its sensitive btructures. Others feed on pepsin, which is better, but not sufficient, for it digests only albuminous foods. The preparation best fitted to relieve and absolutely cure indigestion is Kodol DYsr-rsiA Cuke. It contains every known dlgestant and digests every kind of food. Its use is a common Fensc method of treating all stomach : troubles, and the results are always certain.
