two acres. Th grower ma de affidavit
before me as to these figures after the
grain had been thrashed and the field
measured by compete surveyors. They

is the largest that ever came to my

ledge. "A nd you probably won't formu-
late a ny very definite decision on the sub-
ject until you are invited," the doctor
said, with a merry laugh, and then he
added, and there was a suggestion of
deep meaning in the way he did it:
"But of course you wouldn't refuse
such an invitation."
A RECOGNIS ED authority on sugar es-
timates that the world's production of
the article in 1886-87 is about 400,000
tons larger than that of the preceeding
year, he thinks, however, that this fact
will be compensated by an increased
consumption, most of which he credits
to Europe and North America. Th
stocks at the beginning of last year
(visible supply) are stated to have been
about 882,000 tons, against 940,000
tons one year previously and 960,000
tons two years ago. After making
everal minor allowances, which need
sot be stated in detail, it is estimated
B&& the total stocks were 42,000 tons
laas this midsummer than they were at
(he same date in 1886.
HISTORY O THE WEEK.
The Herald of Chicago says the seven
condemned anarchists are to hang. There
is no longer any doubt about that. Infor
mation has been received through reliable
sources that the supreme court will affirm
the death verdict against the anarchists.
None of the Judges have said this in so
many words, but when asked about the
case, Justice Magruder guardedly said:
"There will be no dissenting opinion, be
cause the justices are all of one mind." Chief
of Police Ebersold and Sheriff Matsonhave
already received an intimation of what is
coming, and they have been making
active preparations to meet any emergency
that may arise. That Sheriff Matson has
also received a direct intimation of the ac
tion of the court is evidenced by the extra
ordinary precautions he has been taking
lately in keeping suspicious persons out of
the jail. Everybody who calls to see the
anarchists is closely watched while in the
jail, and not a few visitors are denied ad
mission. ?m ^^s^t^^tj. "&
The Farmer's Review of Chicago
gives the following for the current week:
The reports of our correspondents indicate
that in several of the corn states the corn
crop has been more benefited by the late
rains than was supposed possible. Only
Missouri, Indiana and Dakota report a low
er percentage of condition than last week.
The reports Dy states on percentage of con
dition of corn crop, as compared with an
average crop, are as follows: Seventeen
Illinois counties report an average of 55.5
nine Indian counties 50.5: nineteen Iowa
counties 74.4 seven Kansas counties 61.4
eight Kentucky counties 67 eight Minneso
ta counties 91.8 thirteen Missouri counties
66.4 six Nebraska counties 83.3 sixteen
Ohio counties 70.1, and twelve Dakota coun
ties 100.
Fairmount, Indiana, is a temperance
town of the most pronounced type. Six
weeks ago J. Smith had arranged for the
opening of the first saloon ever started in
the town. A citizens' meeting was held in
one of the churches, a vigilance committee
appointed, and the next night the saloon
was blown up by a charge of dynamite.
Smith started to rebuild, and the new
structure was ready for the roof. At 1
o'clock on the morning of the 3rd a mob of
300 men and women advanced on the build
ing with picks and axes and reduced it to
kindling-wood, and the dismantled walls,
floors, and timbers were piled upon the
street. Nine-tenths of the people of Fair
mount are opposed to the saloon, and they
have given evidence that they consider any
means justifiable to prevent its being built.
Police Inspector Bonfield with one
or two of his men was at the (Chicago,)
Cook county iail and criminal court build
ing at an early liour, before the janitors
had done the sweeping. He is reported to
have thoroughly examined the cellars
under the jail, and to have sounded the
walls and floors to see if they had been
tunnelled. These are presumed to be pre
cautions looking toward an aiverse
decision in the anarchists' cases. Assistant
State's Attorney Longnecker expressed the
opinion that a new trial would be
given Fielden and Parsons, and that in the
other cases the decision of the lower court
would be affirmed.
A deadly scourage is afflicting Mc
Dowell County, West Virginia and South
western Virginia. The drouth has made the
peculiar disease which has several times
previously followed this state of affairs
and which is supposed to be a result of
minerals in the water, has broken out. In
the Dead Horse cave neighborhood there
are over 100 cases, with 30 deaths. Not a
family has escaped. Crops are neglected
and farm work is at a standstill, it requiring
the entire time of every individual to care
for the sick and dead. It is estimated
that 200 people have died in McDowell
county alone, in the last four weeks, from
the disease.
The last session of the convention of
charities and corrections at Omaha was
devoted to the committee on charity. Mr.
Kellogg, of New York, presented a very
elaborate chart, in which he showed that
there are fifty-two cities having charity or
ganizations, representing a population of
8,000,000, with nearly 500,000 registered
paupers. After the usual complimentary
resolutions the new officers were appointed,
and the next president, Dr Hoy t, "of New
York, was installed. The conference then
adjourned, to meet next July in Buffalo.
Bradstreet's says that special tele
grams from leading points of distribution
throughout the country record considerable
improvement in the volume of staple mer
chandise moving as compared with a week
ago. There are fewer complaints of re
stricted buying at the interior owing to
damage by the drouth, and Chicago, St.
Louis, .Kansas City, St. Joseph, St. Paul
and Minneapolis, which supply the great
grain belt, report the best trade known for
menths.
A Morgan, Texas, and vicinity

served throughout the country as Labor
Day, and the various Unions and Trades

had 25,000 men line, and at other places
the demonstrations were large. In New
York and Brooklyn the day was observed
as a legal holiday, the banks, stock and
produce exchanges being closed in honor of
the occasion.
The imports of specie at New York
last week amounted to $2,719,663, almost
entirely gold, of which $466,000 came from
South America, and $2,253,663 from Europe.
The exports were $370,976, of which $10,000
was in gold consigned to South American
ports, and $360,976 silver. Of this $352,100
went to Europe and $8,876 to South America.
The imports of merch ndise for the week
were $r,761,327, of which $3,628,990 were dry
goods.
Under orders from Sheriff Matson the
cells of all the prisoners in the county jai
at Chicago, were searched. In the cell oc
cupied by A. R. Parsons, the anarchist, was
found a razor. This was pounced upon b.
the officers. Parsons claimed that he had
it for the purpose of shaving himself, but
the piece of steel was confiscated neverthe
less, though the condemned anarchist cursed
and swore when it was taken from him.
A coal train plunged down an em
bankment at Leavenworth, (Kans.) junc
tion. The engineer, J. Munden of Wamego,

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS-
The Democrats of Pennsylvania held
their .state convention at Allentown on the
31st. Among those prominent were Con
gressmen S. J. Randall and W. L. Scott, the
latter being chairman of the committee on
resolutions. The resolutions reaffirm the
Chicago platform of 1884, fullv endorses
the administration of President" Cleveland
as wise, sagacious and patriotic, approves
the acts of Congress regarding immigration
and convict labor, favors liberal pensions to
deserving Union soldiers and sailors, and
refer to the action of the present adminis
tration in adding to the pension rolls a
larger number than was ever before placed
thereon in a corresponding period, while at
the same time protecting the treasury from
fraudulent claims, as proof of this fact
points with pride to the fact that since the
Democratic party has been in power in any
branch of the federal government, not one
acre of the public lands has been granted to
corporations, nor has any land grant been

IN IH JEASTc
General Master Workman Powderly
seen at his home at Scranton, Pa., said it
was true that he was going to Ireland
to speak in support of the Irish cause.
He has been invited by prominent
Irish leaders to do so, and will sail soon
after the annual convention of the Knights
of Labor in October. If the Irish leaders
should be imprisoned he would go by the
next steamer to renew the struggle. He
does not consider it inconsistent with his
place as head of the Knights of Labor to
engage in the agitation. "None of my fel
low-Knights will object tom absence for a
few weeks," he said. "There are many
Englishmen in the order who have urged
me to go. I have also excellent friends in
England, and will visit that country and
ascertain the condition of its workers."
The Baltimore & Ohio R. R., has
sold the B. &. O. Express company for the
period of 30 years. It is stated on Wall
street that the price paid was $2,500,000, of
which $1,000,000 was paid in cash and $1,-
500,000 in United States Express stock.
The president of the United States Express
denies the correctness of the figures, but de
clines to state the terms on which the
property was purchased, saying that the
matter is private. No change will be made
in the management or name of the com
pany.
It is reported that Henry Villard,
formerly President of the Northern Pacific
R. R., has purchased a six-million interest

The period has expired of the six
months during which the government re
deemed trade dollars at par. There have
been redeemed at the United States sub
treasury in New York Cit 3,492,417 of these
corns. 1 hose who failed to redeem such as
they may have had in the 3 possession will
nereafter be able to realize on them on them
only their intrnsic value as bullion.
It seems to be the general under,
standing that the entire Baltimore & Ohio
system will shortlv follow the B. & O. Ex
press and pass into new hands, the tele
graph, the sleeping and parlor car franchise
and the road itself, thus providing for a
floating debt of some $10,000,000, and ending
unprofitable and harrassing competition.

NORTHWSTAN NEWS.
Mary Sylvester, a working girl, ag ed
19, is lying at Minneapolis with a broken
jaw, a dislocated hip and fractures, of all the
ribs of her right side, the result of a jump
from a third story window to escape from a
brute, named Lou Murray, the manager of
an employment office. The girl's story as
told by her to Dr. Kilvingtonis as follows:
Her name is Mary Sylvester, and her home
is at Swan River, seven miles from Little
Falls. She came to the city with a view of
obtaining a clerkship, having been induced
to do so by one of Murray's advertisements.
Upon her arrival at Minneapolis Murray
mmpf
~-$Jj*. M^ikj?**-
employed her as clerk at $2 per week and
board"#On Tuesday^ightMurrayintorraed
her that he had a ''very comfortable room
for her and accompanied her to Mrs.
Sawyers. went with her Tto room
twelve on pretext of showing her the apart
ment, and after a short time his evil inten
tion became apparent. He locked the door
to prevent her escape. Failing to accom
plish his purpose he resorted to violence.
After a struggle, during which she tried to
alarm the house, she begged him to let her
get a drink of water, and as soon as he
opened the door she leaped through the
window on the third floor. During the
summer Mary with her sister had worked
for O. S. Gates at Excelsior, and that gen
tleman as wel las all knowing her say her
character is above reproach. Her injuries
may prove fatal. Great indignation is felt
and expressed and new found and powerful
friends will not only provide her with care
but will see that the monster Murray has
his just deserts. The Tribune suggested a
fund for the injured girl and this was re
sponded to with $500, the first day, from
prominent business men and citizens, and
S. E. Olson & Co., tendered her a perma
nent situation in their store should she re
cover. The feeling in Minneapolis was so
strong that the Sheriff deemed it advisable
to take his prisoner to St. Paul as a pre
caution against lynching. In the police
court Murray was held in $2,500 bail, but no
attempt was made to give it and he was
very glad to be taken to the St. Paul jail.

close the house for a few days and go down
for the same purpose. It was reported that
he was going to leave the city permanently,
but he publicly announced in a newspaper
that he would be back in a few
days He left on the Burlington train at
10:5p m. and the fire broke out about
midnight. The firemen discovered dishes
of kerosene onthe floors of the rooms and
the floors were saturated with kerosene,
and the windows tightly closed with
blankets. There were also candles on the
floors, held upright by bits of tallow. It is
alleged that recently Casper has shipped
most of his furniture from the city. He
had $1,800 insurance, and tbe stuff remain
ing in the house was not worth $500, so the
police say. The presumption is that he
fixed his torches and hastened to the train,
expecting to be beyond the reach of sus
picion when the fire broke out. On notice
by telegraph he was arrested and is in jail
at Savannah.

Stearns County, committed suicide. While
her husband was sick and unable to be up,
she left the house, ostensibly to do some
work, but went a short distance from the
house and hung herself to the limb of a
tree. After twenty-four hours of anxious
waiting, the invalid husband sent his

neighbors to induce them to make a search

said to have been on account of family

necessitate amputation at the shoulder.
Michaels supposed the gun was empty, and
snapped a cap on it to see if the tube was
clear, but his brother had loaded the gun
the day before.
A Sioux City, Iow a, Charles Hoyt,
12 years old, experienced a narrow escape
from death. About 11 o'clock a. m., the
