Wright, Becretary of the Executive Committee an ths Improvement of the Western Water-itay, has arrived In Washington 'and opened at the Ebbttt House head-quarters forafe friends of the Mississippi River lmprovemsWchemea. Every Board of Trade In the Mississippi Valley appointed committees last Summer to take Into consideration the 'necessity of Government help In Improving the Mississippi and Its navigable tributaries.

It was decided by these committees to hold a convention this eltr on Feb. ft next, in the hope that such a body of representative men might be got together as would have great Influence, in securing liberal impropriation from Congress. The Governors of about 20 States and 4 1 in ths prosperity of the Mississippi Valley, were invited to appoint 10 deleimtes at large from each State to attend the convention, and each Board of T.l te was requested to send five delegates for, each 1U0 members. In the case of incorporated cities which have no Boards 'of Trade, the Mayor of each citr was asked to name three oetelTHtes. Mr.

Wright says that he already has the names of 1004eieirates who have been selected tinder this plan, and he expects that at least 1,000 business men ofsthe valley will be present at the opening oi tne convention. Although special invitations have not been sent to Eastern Hoards of Trades, members of such bodies who choose to attend will be made welcome. Secretary Wright will to-morrow send notices to the Governors of the -selected reminding them of the i request to name' delegates i mit to them last month and asking that the ap- untments be made. Those interested are content that the convention will be a success in bolntot numbers, and that Its result -will be to Inrtucnoo Congress to take good -care of the W'cttem rivers, especially the MtalsHippi and its tributaries. These, of course, Will be a welcome mult to the large proportion of members who desire to 'have a generous River and Harbor bttl for the whole country.

A SORGHUM SUGAR EXPERIMENTS, WASKtxoTOX, Jan. 4. Prof. Collier, lato tbemlst of the Department of Agriculture, and a arm believer In thepracticability of producing sugar from sorghum In sufficient quantities and of a quality to supply a great part of the demand for sugar In this country, appears to have wakened the Interest of the Agricultural Department in a subject about which It was supposed to have become somewhat IneOctent.

In a report which Js going to" be made public. Prof. Wiley, of the department, gtvei tome Interesting Information about the xperimenta with sorghum during the last Tear, smi takes a more hopeful view of the subject than Commissioner Loring formerly held. Ha pronounce erroneous the prevalent impression that every farmer may become his own sugar-amker. Sorghum, unlike sugar-beet, -contains various non-crystallizable sugars, the nepara-bon of whkh demands much skill and tkmtlfto knowledge.

Sorghum suirar will ive to be made in lm-ye factories. The xttUng factories have shown that It can be pa-la. but how profttibly or unprofltably cannot bs stated by Prof. Wiley, who suirirests that farmers near factories may, in effect, make their own sumir by raising the cane and trading Wat factories fpr sugar. Cane riving 00 pounds of suirar per ton ought to bring the farmer 85 Pounds, the rest of the sugar and mnlaase- aping to the manufacturer to pay ezpensia and yield profit.

Mansfield told a story with an objectionable slang phrase, so Outram states, to which Miss May Brooklyn, the leading lady, objected. Mansfield replied that actresses who were called on to use much more objectionable utterances on the stage ought not to be squaraish about slang. Outram. the only other man present, promptly invited MansHcld out to fight, and hostilities 'began, in the room. as they rose uutram slapped his adversary in the face.

Mansfield tipped Ou tram, fell upon him, and they were pounding away when the hotel people separated the com- Daianra. Mansneta subsequently sent an apology to the ladies of the company, who bad refused to act with him unless it was done. He aDoloirized (to Outram also. The members of the comonny 'complain greatly of his obJeetlnable manners. and are making statements to reporters.

Mansfield threatened thewCobtmerctaJ wlth.a libel suit for $10,000 for its account this afternoon, but he baa since withdrawn bis threat. i i DIED AFTER VRIXKIXQ BEER. Ithaca, K. Jan. 4.

4. What Is believed to be the beginning of the exposure of an extensive swiadling scheme among the passenger conductors and palace car conductors employed br the Pennsylvania Ball- road was brought to light to-day at a hearing before a magistrate. The company some ago received Information that they were being systematically robbed by the conductors. An investigation was Instituted and Information was discovered which warranted the arrest of the conductors. General Passenger Agent Wood bad warrants issued for the arrest of a numbew of the conductors.

On the arrival of the trains at the Broad-street station the palace car conductors were taken into custody. The men were A. J. Rogers, a resident of Allegheny, and conductor of the1 train running from Washington to Philadelphia; L. Roll Ins, living at Jersey City, who was conductor of the train from Jerser Citr to Philadelphia, and William B.

Pettit, conductor bog iraiu vnu runs irurn vuis cur lu cw- lora. The manner in which the robbery was carried on waa very simple. The palhce car conductors would collect the tickets before the regular train conductors came through. It was the duty of the formert con-. ductora to hand the tickets to the train conductors and have them punched, i This they failed to do, and consequently the tickets were not mutilated.

When the trains arrived at their destination the conductors instead of turning their tickets over to the company pocketed and disposed of them at prices below their -value. It is alleged that the dishonest conductors were In collusion with ticket scalpers in New-York. The accused men were arraigned before Magistrate Smith this morn in a-. General Passenger Agent Wood testified to the above stated facta. Bogers waa placed under $1,000 bail to answer, Rollins was held in similar bail to await a reouisi- tion from the Governor of New Jersey, as his onente waa committed in that state, and fetus waa held for a further bearing to-morrow.

As none; of defendants were able to furnish the necessary security, they were committed to prison. SHOT BY A RECREANT LOVER. ATTACKED WITH AN AXE BY THE GIRL 8 BROTHERS HE, SHOOT3IHEX BOTH. i Philadelphia, Jan. 4.

A dis patch to the Times from Ranch's Gap, says: The people in this vicinity were thrown into a ferment of excitement to-day by a shooting affray, at Echler's farm, 12 miles from here. In which Henry and August Heintzle, brothers, were seriously wounded. Jacob Dishleham- xaer until, recently paid court Mary Heintzle, a 19-year-old sister of Henry and August. Dishlenammer. had been going to see Miss Heintzle for nearly a year, but last month began paying attention to another young woman residing at this place.

The Heintije boys heard that Dishlehammer had been circulating slanderous reports about their sister and that he, had betrayed her. They swore revenge, and were about to institute legal proceedings against 'Dishlehammer. This morning Dishlehammer called at the residence of the Heintzle' family and asked to see Mary. The brothers were in the house, and a wordy quarrel began between them. The recreant Dishlehammer denied the charges against blm.

After a few hot words. August Heintzle struck Dishlehammer in the face. They clinched and fell to the floor. -Dishlehammer uppermost. Henrv Heintzle SDrana- on Dishlehammer ana De- ran kicking film lav the ribs.

Dishlehammer broke away and ran into a corner of the room. A rust Heintzle then nicked ud an axe ana. springing toward Dieblehammer, was about to strike him. when the latter drew a 'revolver and shot August in the leg. Ho fell to the ground, and the other brother sprang forward and was about to pick up the aide, when Disblehammes nred again twice, DOtn oaiia taking enect lq Heintzle's body.

The mother of the wounded boys and the sister then appeared on the scene and began upbraiding i i. a I. k. women, and they tied shrieking into the back room. He then ran out of he house and escaped to the mountains.

The doctor's friends hire talked and pleaded with him to stop his relations with the Rice woman, hut to no purpose.

When Greeley would spproach htm oa- the sub ject 1 she would be rebuffed by him and subjected to abuse. After suffering in thU way two or three years she sought rears ss la tha courts. Mrs. Greeley Is a most estimable lady, loved and respected by her wide circle of ao. qualntaocea.
