Higgins, who had faced stern Justice for his crimes before, was sent to the penitentiary tor four years, and Adams waa committed to the reform school. Until a Jury of their peers had found them guilty, and the prison gates yawned before them, they unflinchingly maintained their innocence, but at last they yielded. Here was a stranger visiting Ogden and within twelve hours after hia arrival he waa drugged, beaten and robbed of hia money and jewelry. The particulars, as stated by Higgins and Adams in the confession made by them to the district attorney and the sheriff, are as follows: Higgins and Adams arrived In Ogden on the same train aa Wilson. They rode blind baggage from Salt Lake. Wilson paid hie fare. At the depot Wilson approached them, told them he was a stranger and at hie solicitation all three adjourned to the Bismarck saloon. They had several shook dice; Adame was drinks; they stuck and waa broke and Wilson put up. More libations followed, and subsequently It waa now nlgbt a visit waa paid to a place of evil resort of the lower class. As they entered, the victim being supported on either side by hie despoil-es- r, they "tipped the wink" to the den-lxeand they were next Excuses, of course, followed. Money and liquor flowed freely and a bacchanalian orgle waa the result Wilson ostentatiously displayed hie gold, end the determination to rid him of It seized the denizens.

Many tons of cotton seed have been distributed at Lagos, west Africa, and the natives are being strongly urged to promote the cotton growing industry. Quite an extensive area is already under cultivation. During the American civil war Lagos produced cotton In large quantities, and it grows wild there at the present time. The Lagos railway is carrying new crop cotton to the coast free of charge. Fiber and Fabric. LAST OF THE MA8SASOITS.

As the residuary legatee of at least five years of great prosperity It had to bear the cumulative effects of previous years mistakes and at the same time carry burdens having their inception in the year itself. Yet the tests were well withstood, and while excesses occurred, the course of events so far has proved that the general trade foundation was essentially sound and that the structure reared upon it was in the main well built Stock market liquidation,though alow haa been apparently thorough, and while many weak spots have been found, ordinary trade has had some opportunity to gradually readjuet Itself to changed conditions of supply and demand without the impediment which would have followed a speculative crash such as has been freely predicted would close the present period of prosperity.

The crowning feature of all the re- construction of the Pennsylvania system is the great New York tunnel, which will Incorporate a principle hitherto untried. Th line of the proposed tunnel under the Hudson river passes through all kinds of material, from solid rock to soft silt. Throughout the rock sections and ordinary masonry lining will be used, but when the soft material la reached (and thla Includes the whole line immediately under the river) a cast iron lining will be used. Some of the river mud Is so soft that provision must be made against the possibility of serious settlement No trouble Is apprehended with respect to the tunnel structure Itself. Heavy as It le its bulk is so great that Its floatage yower is a very large proportion of lta weight, and comparatively little support is required from thd soft soil. But the tunnel Is designed 'for heavy rolling stock. Although electric locomotives will be used Instead of steam lopmotives, yet owing to the steep grade of the tunnel, especially that on the New York side 1.923 per cent, equal to 101.5 feet per mile the locomotives will need to be exceedingly heavy and the groat weight and vibration of this heavy rolling stock would tend to distort the form of the tunneL And, therefore, a device will be adopted which Is without precedent in tunnel construction. The weight of the track and rolling stock will be carried on screw piles connected by girders which are Independent of the tunneL These piles are made of cast Iron tubes about twenty-eigInches In diameter. At the base of these are cast steel screw blades five feet In diameter. These piles will be screwed down until the rock la reached, or until the screw la embedded In a soil so firm that It Is considered satisfactory. These piles will Intersect the bottom of the tunnel tube every fifteen feet. Roled beams of especially heavy construction will support the entire weight of the tracks and train.
