WAsnisaTON. D. O., Oct. 15. Secretary
Rusk Is In receipt of a communication from
Colonel 0. J, Murphy, special opent in
.uropo on uoiiair of tho malao Industry.
Colonel Murphy proceeded to Berlin by the
Secretary's Instructions a short time ngo.
In order to take advantage of the precut
shortago la the cereal crops of Europe to
present to tho attention ot tho German
people and government tho Importance and
Value of American Indian corn as a cheap
and nutritious substliuto for other
cereal foods. Colonol Murphy writes
most encouragingly, roportlng his
cordial reception by Minister Pholps
and tho readiness of that gentleman to
forward his mission; and futhcr states
that he has been ablo to produce)
bread composed In part ot ryo and part of
corn which has been highly commended
by nil thoso to whom Bamplos havo been
submitted as a most satisfactory substitute
for the ordinary rye bread In general uso
among certain classes in Germany, and
this at a cost based on the present price, of
ryo flour and corn meal in Germany,Rreatly
Inferior to the cost of tho bread made ex
clusively of rye flour and now retailed In
that city. Should special concessions In
the matter of tariff duties bo secured from
flie German government on Indian corn
tho outlook for a largo increaso In our ox
ports of that product to Germany w ould,
In the opinion of Colonel Murphy, bo most
promising.

i. on Educational Matters.
NvASniKGTOX, Oct. 14. Tho census bu
reau has issued an extra bulletin on educa
tion. It shows returns of prlvato and paro
chial sohools up to July 1, 1891, and gives
statistics of parochial schools by states
and by communions not boforo shown In
any census. The total school on
roUment for tho United States
reported July 1, 1S91, was close to 14,520,
000; the total public school enrollment, in
cludlngabout 03,000 in universltles.schools
for training teachers, etc., nearly 13,730,
COO, and the total enrollment In prlvato
nnd parochial schools not far from 750,000
each. The gain In population from 1850 to
1893 was 133.66 por cent and In school en
rolment 105.15 per cent.
The relations of whlto and colored at
tendance In tho south show that 21.53 por
cent of the whlto and 13.55 por cent of tho
colored population were enrolled In school
In the census year. Tho gain over 18S0
was 3.9l per cent for the white and 01.58
per cent for the colored.
Eleven communions are clvcn as main-
tolnlnr parochial schools, tho Catholics
having more than twlco as many pupils as
till othors and tho Luthcrns about ono
fifth of the wholo numbor.
Public schools apparently havo about
twelve times as many elementary pupils as
private schools, are close to the prlvato
schools In secondary pupils and have less
than half as many in superior instruction
as prlvato institutions.
AN OIL TOWN ENDANGERED.

town Of McDonald has had another visita
tion from flro and another narrow cscapo
from bolng wiped out of existence From
9 until 10 o'clock this morning everything
lndloatcd the destruction of the town and
great excitement provailcd. The wildest
reports reached Pittsburg. In almost less
time than It takes to tell tho story a special
train conveying oil- men and newspaper
representatives was en routo to tho scene,
eighteen miles on tho Pennsylvania road.
At the intersection of McDonald Creek
and Robb's Run, Smith & Co. had con
structed a huge dam for tho purpose of col
lecting the floating oil. A mlnlaturo lako
of oil has accumulated. This Is near the
enter of the tovtn and on Its border aro
frame dwellings, derricks and tanks.
About 9 o'clock a spark from an oil viell
boiler f eU into Bobb's run, Just a few yards
Above tho lako of oil. Tho oil float
ing on tho water in the run Ignited and in
an instant a broad shcot of flamo rolled up
threateningly. Should tho flro reach tho
lake below tho town was doomed. Thou
sands of hands rushed to tho work of con
structing a dam between tho flamc3 and
the lake and after an hour's hard work,
the tollers heaved a sigh of lollcf when It
was known that all danger was passed.
1 Several hundred barrels of oil nnd a
small tank of oil that had been dipped
from the lako were dostroyed.
False Letter nnd Tclesrnms.
Paris, Oct. 14. A reconciliation between
Mile. Vacarcsco and Prlnco Ferdinand has
taken place, and tho details of It nrc Just
ynado public. It seems that tho breaking
off of tho engagomont was brought about
by falso letters and telegrams sent to each
ot the lovors, and which mado them mutu
ally bellovo that tho other's affection had
grown cold and clammy.
The prlnco was highly Indignant at de
ception that had been practiced upon both
of them, and additionally so, becauso lie
know not whom to suspect. Ho at onco
sent a mossage to Mllo. Yacarosco asking
whether sho would bellovo his word thut

PARIS PARNELL FUND.
French Lows Biy. it Will Oo to III.
Widow and llrothor.
tomboy, Oct. 14. Tho Dally Telegraph
yesterday morning published a dispatch
from its correspondent at Cork which sayi.
that something ot a panto has been caused
In nationalist circles hero by a report that
undor French laws Mrs. Charlos Stenarl.
Parnell and John Itouatd Parnoll firo thti
holrs of tho Parnell fund of 40,000 pound.'
which was lodged In Paris In tho joinl
names ot Mr. McCarthy nnd Mr. Parnoll
Thcro Is no doubt that Mrs. Parnell uiU
at onco placo her shard In tho hands or
thoso who stood by her lato husband, who
will quickly placo themselves in allnaucla!
position to cnablo them to show a good
tltal of a fight.
Mr. Parncll's parliamentary colleagues
have Issued tho following manifesto i
Ireland has lost hor leader, but hot
causo still remains tho duty to tho llvlnir
and doad to maintain, intact and Unsullied
tho flag of national independence. VoU,
tho pcoplo of Ireland, gavo into tho handj
of Mr. Parnell and his parliamentary tol
leagues tho chargo of your polit
ical Interests and tho honor nnd
safety of tho national causo. You ask us
by constitutional moans to rostoro pros
porltyv peace nnd freedom to our country
and animated by his spirit, guided by his
clear Intelligence nnd firmness of soul wei
carried tho causo to a point nt which thei
tower of victor; could be seen by all men.
But in an unfortunate hour a majority ol
tho Irish representatives at tho bidding ol
an English statesman broke our ranks,
abandoned tho flag of independent opposi
tion and ranged themselves as follow en
and satellites of the British statesman. We
rofuscd to become parties to tho treason,
relying upon tho national conviction and
maintained intact the alleglanco to the in
depeodent national party, In tho conviction
that tho people would Justify and support,
us.
Tho great leader Is dead, but tho cause
lives on. Relying on your devotion to Irish
nationality, wo propose to carry on the
struggles until the principles for which ho
lived and died triumph and tho national
unity Is restored. Tho parliamentary part;
is plcdgod to work for Ireland undor the
flag of tho Independent opposition abso
lutoly froo from tho control of any foreign
power or party. This is our rosolutlon.
Its realization depends on you. It involve:
sacrifices and struggles and wo call on you
to mako them.
True to tho principle that wo aro tho In
struments of tho people, wo havo resolved
to call a convention of roproscntatl vo Irish
men to discuss in tho name of tho nation
tho means whereby to carry out tho policy
and programmo bequeathed In d. lng. To
our ranks wo shall wclcomo all honest
men who bellovo that tho political affairs
of Ireland should bo controlled and direct
ed by tho representatives ot tho Irish pco
plo alone, but with men who nrc Imme
diately responsible for tho disruption ot
tho national party, who, In obcdlonco
to foreign dictation, hounds to death tho
foremost man of our race, we can have no
fellowship. In their guldanco of Ireland
thcro can bo no safety. Between them
and tho men who stood truo to the cause
of national independence Ireland must
cbooso.
On tho threshold of tho tomb tho
leader we mourn defined our duty
in theso imperishable words: "If I
am dead and gono to-morrow, the
men fighting against English influ
ence in Irish public life, must fight on
still. They w III still be lndopondont na
tionalists, thoy can still believe In tho fu
ture of Ireland as a nation nnd still protest
that It was not by tnktng tho orders of an
English minister that Ireland's futuro
could be saved, protected and secured.
Fellow-countrymen, let It bo tho glory
of our race at homo uud abroad to act up
to the spirit of this measure; God savo
Ireland.
JUSTICES IN BAD HEALTH.
At Least Tiro Member, of the Federal
Supreme Court Disabled.
Wasuootov, D. C, Oct. 14. It Is ex
pected that thcro will bo a postponement
of all tho ery Important cases boforo
tho supremo court which wcro ex
pected to como up at tbo beginning
of tho October term, which opened
on Monday. Tho Sayward case, tbo
cases Involving tho validity of tho McKin
ley tariff act, tho lottery cases and others
which nro of sufllciont Importance to re
quire that thoy should bo considered by
tho full court, or at least by substantially
a full court, will go over until lato in No
vember. Tho reason given for this Is that thoro
will bo at least two of tho Justices abscut
and probably three. Justico Gray, who
has been 111 with typhoid fever, will not be
ablo to attend nnd tho chief Justice is ex
pected to remain away on account ot tho
serious Illness of his daughter In Chicago.
Tho latest dispatch received from him
stated that her condition was critical,
but that they had not yet given
up all hopo of hor recovery. Her death,
however, was fcarod momentarily. Jus
tico Bradloy is still HI, but though unablo
to get out of bed yesterday ho wrote a note
stating ho would bo on hand at tho meet
ing ot tho court on Monday.
Notwithstanding hlscxtromo ngo Justico
Bradloy has an extraordinary amount of
pluck and ho will probably bo In his seat
on tho bench whon tho court opens. Tho
chief Justico and Justice Gray will bo ab
sent, however, and tho docket Is being pre
pared with tho idea that tho ordinary rou
tlno cases will bo proceeded witb.dlsrcgard
lng tho spoclal assignments. Thcro havo
been about fifty cases bolow tho nverago
filed for this term thus far, but that is not
attributed to the now law authorizing tho
circuit court of appeals, slnco tho Judges of
that court havo not yot been appointed.

Thdy havo not slnco bcon seen but ono of

hardly a doubt but that all four men havo
been drowned.
At Holland's station on Rockaway beach
seven boats wcto lot out on Sunday. Thoy
carried sixteen men. Nono of them havo
slnco been hoard from, and It Is thought
tho storm carried them out to sea. As tho
water outside tho inlet raged mountain
high, so that a small boat could scarcely
live in It a minute, the sixteen men woro
probably drowned.
A two-masted schooner sailed by Juns
Mooro and hnvlng a crow of threo men,

Rainmaker Frank Melbourne Agrees to
Moisten Kansas Lands.
Goodland, Kan., Oct 14. Frank Mel
bourne has signed a contract, agreeing to
produce crop rains next season in forty
Western Kansas counties for $20,000.
From the Kansas agricultural reports thi
HUmber. of acres of.larld ill the forty colim
tie! under cultivation in iS&J wcro Bggre:
Sated and tho Australian agreed to water
tho 3,000,000 acres at 10 cents per aero.
It Is n ono-sldcd affair at present, bind
ing Molbourno alone. It Is thought here
that u scparato contract will havo to be
signed with each of tho forty counties
through tbo board of county commis
sioners. Under tho Irrigation act enacted
last winter tbo commissioners nro author
lzed to oto bonds for Irrigating purposes
and this is ono possible solution. Another
Is to raise the amount through notes given
by tho farmers themselves.
It IS expected that the Irrigation com
panies In Coloradd and Kansas will fight
tho proposition. MclbodiuB has every
confidenco in bis ability to glvo the people
Just w hat they have long waited and prayed
for.
Molbourno knows nothing of American
ways and customs. He is nt all times pro
occupied, and if tho men with whom ho
has businoss dealings succeed in getting
him to glvo a few minutes to them they
are fortunate. He takes everything as a
matter of course. Everybody, ho thinks,
Is honest and willing to assist him In dem
onstrating tho success of his discovery.
He is surprised to find opposition front any
source and Imagines that tho very moment
that ho demonstrates his ability to make
lain to tho pcoplo of ono community the
wholo country ought to accept
Although dubbed an Australian the rain
maker is an Orange Irishman. Ho has
twclvo brothers, all of whom expoct to
roll In untold wealth, as a result of their
brother's discovery. His father still re
sides In Ireland, but his sons nro scattered
all over tho world. Frank carpo to this
country about ten years ago, but shortly
left for Australia. He has devoted all his
time to Inventions of different kinds and
when sixteen years of age invented a
churn, which be patented. Ho now has, so
his brothers" say, threo or four Important
Inventions, which ho will make public

HEAVY LOSSES CERTAIN.
Wheat In the Northwest Ilulued by Bad
Wratlies Help Also Scarce.
St. Paul, Minn., Oct 14. Tho weather
of the past tow weeks has undono much
of tho good that was dono by tho fine
weather oarly in the season In North Da
kota, and tho farmers of tho northwest
will suffer losses aggregating In tho mil
lions. Tho damago can as yet only bo es
timated, but that tho loss will bo very
great there seems no doubt
Tho railroads had made special arrange
ments to handle a great crop and tho farm
ers considered their own plans amply suf
ficient But so great was tho wheat crop
that at first It was almost impossible to
hlro enough harvest hands to secure the
crop, and a very largo part of it had
to be left standing in the shock.
Then It was found that tho supply
of threshing machines was Insufficient and
that caused a delay which left fully half
the crop still In the fields unthreshed when
the rains came. Rain has been general
and abundant and it is this which has
caused tho greatest loss. There Is stlU a
great shortago of threshing outfits, but
tho weather has prevented the work more
than half the time.
At Jamestown, In tho North Dakota Red
river valley, rain and snow fell Monday
night It was snowing yosterday, and last
week there was but ono full day's wheat
threshing. Reports aro received of grain
sprouting In sovcral stacks.
At Devil's lake, In tho northern part ot
tho stato, a heavy rain fell yesterday,
which will stop threshing several days.
No grain has been stacked, owing to the
scarcity of laborers.
North Dakota reports snow, threshing
stopped entlroly and fears that unless tho
weather clears soon much of tho grain will
bo unfit to thresh. In tho northern part
of the stato thcro will, howe or, bo mora
loss from lack of laborers than from bad
woathcr.
Northwestern Minnesota gives about
tho samo repot t as do tho Dakotas.
It commenced raining again about Crooks
ton Monday and continued all day. There
havo been only a few days of dry woathcr
In four weeks and farmers are getting dis
couraged. In Travorso county nnd cen
tral western Minnesota the lurgcr portion
of the wheat has not yet been threshed
and men and machines wcro greatly need
ed. No Foe of Fnrneil's "Wanted.

to spend his vacation. Wblld etlt fo Wing la

ful young girl, tho daughter of a wealthy
Boston lumber dealer, Wm. Narcross.
Kate E. Narcross was 19, and the belle of
tho summer resort Sho lived with her
widower father at tho old Malno town dur
ing the summer months and at Somer
vlllo, Mass , during the winter. It was a
case of lovo at first signt Dctwecn mo i
salesman nnd Kato Narsross. When Mr.
Rollins left Charleston lie secured a prom
iso from his sweetheart that sho Woolld bo
his bride. Mr. Rollins went to Somervllld
at every opportunity, and tho marriage
w'as put off from time to tlmo till Mr. Rol
lins could secllrO 8 permanent situation In
New York which would not require him to
travel.
Two weeks ago Kate's father died, IeaV
lng the bulk of his fortune to bis only
child, who had nursed him tenderly
through a long fit of sickness. Tho strain
of attending to her father night and day
was too great for tho dutiful daughter.
She was taken HI tho day of her father's
funeral and never left her room. Pneu
monia set In and the physicians told Miss
Narcross that sho must dlo. "Send for
Louis, wo must Wed boforo I die," was
Miss Narcross' request Mr. Rollins was
on a long business trip through the West
for a Chambers street hard u are firm. Ho
hastened to the bedside of bis Intended
wlfo and arrived on the eve of the day be
fore she died. That was last Friday. At
Miss Narcross' request the Rev. A. It
WInsblp was called In at midnight The
physicians did not believe that Miss Nar
cross could livo till morning. "This Is a
very different marriage to what
I bad hoped for," was the dying
woman's greeting to tho cler
gyman. Between midnight and 1 o'clock
of Saturday morning the ceremony was
performed. Immediately after the ser
vices Miss Narcross bad a notary sum
moned and she mado her will, tho witnesses
being her husband, the clergyman and
friends In tho house. The newly made
wife signed the document that gave nearly
all her property to her husband in a clear,
broad hand. Sho seemed to havo gained
now strength by the marriage and tho phy
sicians thought they saw signs of a change
for tho better in Mrs. Rollins' condition.
But It was too late, for a relapse followed
and the bride sank Into a peaceful sleep
from which sho never awoke.
"Good-by, Louis, my darling husband,"
wero her last words. Tho heart-broken
husband followed his wife's remains to
the grave and then returned to Chicago to
settle up his business trip. Ho will re
turn to Somervllle at onco and settle up
his wife's estate. The Charleston (Me.)
Academy was olso remembered by Miss
Narcross. She had been a pupil of the
academy.
