Indiaafelis, lad., Sept t In going
through the documents that have ceme
lntahls hands as recdlvcr of the Iren
Mall, James E. Falley has ceme across
a scrap of paper which shows a sharp
meve en the part of 8emcrby te dlspose
of the plaintiffs In the receivership case.
It" reads: "Resolved, That a certified
check be drnvn In favor of Friends
Baker, Sampsel and Knofflock, plain
tiffs in thelsult of application for a re
ceiver, for the full value of their certifi
cates, and $500 each additional, as
counsel fees, and that the same be ten
dered te the court te-morrow (August 1,
1802), by Supreme Cashier M. C Davis.
Adopted."
This resolution purports te have been
presented by Vice-Justice Ilesmer, and
adopted by the supreme sitting, bat In
asmuch as the tender of money which
It contemplated was made before the
sitting convened, the resolution must
have been adopted by Semcrby.
It was supposed, presumably, that the
plaintiffs would be induced te accept
this bribe, and that the court would
held that if all possible claims of the
plaintiffs were satisfied there would be
left no standing room In court, as they
would no longer be members of the
, order, The certified checks wcre made
out and sontte the plaintiffs, who re
jected them, and the attorneys of Som Sem
erby et al probably nipped the attempt
te bring se extraordinary a matter be
fore the court "Semcrby," said one of
the plaintiffs, "thought every man had
. his price, and that he could de anything
with money."
About sixty replies have been re
ceived here te the circulars calling for
' a meeting te reorganize the Iren Unll;
only orie of these, from Binghamton,
N, Y., was unfavorable te the plan pro
posed, and this expressed loyalty te
Semcrby. These who have the plan of
reorganization in charge think that at
least a thousand branches out of the
twelve hundred of the erder will be rep
resented at the meeting in this city

On a Tour,
The Kentucky Railroad Commissioners
arc new making their annual tour ever
the railroads in this state. There are
ever 8,000 miles of railroad property In
Kentucky, and as the' Commission will
step at all impertaut cities aud towns te
examine the condition of terminals, the
trip will be of three or four weeks',
duration.
The Commissioners make this annual
tour before beginning the assessments of
railroads In order te familiarize them
selves with the physical condition of the
lines and the improvements made during
the previous year, and also te give
shippers who may have complaints te
make a hearing.
One matter of importance te cities and
towns is te see that the full mileage of
all railroad lines within their corporate
limits is reported for assessments, as
local taxes are based upon the valuation
fixed by the State Commission.

The Xew Seuth.
The Southern states of this Union
ought te be the garden spot of the world.
Their business is capable of infinite ex
pansion. In their last circular Messrs.
Hambleton & Ce., of Baltimore say:
"It will be noticed that imports into
Southern ports fell of $7,900,000, and
that the experts show an Increase of 3V
000,000. It is very significant that not
withstanding the low price of cotton, the
value of experts show such handsome
gains.
"It is very evident that the Seuth is
becoming less dependent upon the cotton
crop, and that ether products enter
largely into its expert trade. Tlie Seuth
obtained geed prices for its grain, which
largely offset the low figures for cotton.
"We have great faith in the Seuth, and
believe it has a great future beere it.
The natural resources and superior ad
vantages of the Seuth are bound te at
tract capital and business enterprise, and
when the time comes this section will
take the lead in business activity."

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Condition of the Small Creps Throughout
Kentucky Up te Yesterday.
The rainfall ever the state during the
past week was generally much below
the normal; some few places report
abundant rain, hut as a rule the rains
were very light. Wednesday and Thurs
day were the only days en which any
ram of censequence fell at any point,
aud net in sulllcient quantity te bicaU
the existing dreuth materially. Sections
which hfive heretofore been having
plenty of rain are beginning te complain
of dry weather. The Southern and
Southwestern parts of the state have net
suffered much yet, but with a few ex
ceptions ether portions of the state have
been seriously affected.
The temperature was above the normal
duriug the week en an averagc. but was
slightly below en Friday and Saturday;
and the nights duriug the middle of the
week were most tee cool rer crops,
especially late crops. On the whole the
temperature conditions were favorable.
The sunshlne was about nerma.1 and
very favorable te the ripening of early
tobacco.
The general condition of crops are
probably net quite se geed as Indicated
by last bulletin. Reports vary, however,
and numbers of them have been very
encouraging. The greatest damage from
dreuth seems te have been in the
Central, Northern and Eastern counties.
Cern, especially the late crop, and lata
tobacco will undoubtedly be cut short n
these counties; while pastures, grasses
and gardens have been damaged con
siderably. An average of the reports indicate that
tlie corn crop will be somewhnt" below
the average; early corn in most sections
lias done well, though it will be some
what shortened by the late dry weather,
and iu some counties it lias materially
suffered, whlle late corn has been badly
damaged nearly everywhere.
. Tobacco, oxcent the late crop, Is in
very geed condition; the dry woather has
aided in ripenlug the early crop, and
cutting is progressing iu many sections.
Worms are damnging tills crop iu some
places, but very few complain of this
nuisance,
Pastures and grasses are very much in
need of geed soaking rains. Sunshlne
and dry woather have checked the growth
of grass, but the light showers last wcek
benemeu it cousuieratiiv.
Gardens, and trucks, especially lati
potato, are wry much la need of rain..

A Uite.Sh.aped Track the Scene
of the Marc'g Great Feat.
Independence, In,, Sept t Nancy ,
Hanks, the queen of horsedem, added
a shining star te her crown Wednesday
when she trotted the world-famous kite
track at this place in the unprecedented
tlme of 2:05k(, clipping two seconds off
her Chicago mark, made two weeks
age. She was brought out nt 2:30, and
as seen as she was recognized in the
loop the cheering began. She looked
well and her superior condition was
easily dlscernable.
She took her first warming-up rallc
gently, being only driven en a Jeg.'
About 4 o'clock she was brought out
again and received with the same
cordial welcome as before en the
part of the spectators. When she
passed the stand this time even the
band stepped playing and joined with,
the ethers in the applause. A.
bow from Doble and they were
away te her quarters, followed by
echoes of the 8,000 voices en the grounds.
At Just 5:15 they appeared en the stretch
again. This tlme the applause was
deafening. Handkerchiefs and parasols
were waved; voices expanded te their
utmost; young and old and everybody
cheered. The old gray pater forget
himself and let loeso ene of these yells
that were the pride of his boyhood.
Even the old ladles contributed their
quota te the general chorus.
She wea new Jogged up the loop and,
turned te face the kite before her. The
attempt was fruitless and she catmc
back and scored down again. Frank
Star had the runner, Abe Lincoln, who
prompted her In her great mile at Chi
cago near her, whlle Williams, with
Ned Gorden, was waiting at the pest.
When she reached the wire she was go
ing square and true, and Deble nodded
for the word. Frem the word "go"
Nancy trotted as only Nancy can trot;
a steady clock-work and .swifter than
a bird. With her matchless swinging
gait she reached the quarter pole In
thirty seconds. "Toe fast" Is the ver
diet of the crowd. "Budd Doble will
never drive her tee fast," is accepted by
all as the truth. The half was reached '
In 1:01, and men who catch the figures
en their dials find it hnrd te believe.
Without taking their eyes from the
world-beater, they ask their neighbors
his time and arc bound te accept the '
mark.
The third-quarter flag gees down at
l:fl4, and fearing that she Is lagging,
Williams closes up with his runner, Ned
Gorden.
The act Is useless. Deble has loosed
her head and is urging her en gently,
with whip and voice. As she darts
nnder the wire there Is deathless silence.
Watches are consulted, and range all
the way fremje:Q5' te 8:06. N,e -gap.
(fares tell the" time caught, and eachi
spectator assures himself that the time
is gene in 2:00 at least
cHeers are sent up as the great horse
is driven back te the stand, but a hush)
falls ever all as the bell is tapped.
Starter McCarthy announces the official,
time as 2t05tf, and his voice is drowned
with yells. ,
The grooms give the mare a loving
caress as they adjust the blankets, and
willing hands, only tee anxious te
touch the queen of the turf, assist in
arranging the folds. Deble is lifted ,
from the sulky, both arms arc wrung
sere by congratulatory friends and
huzzahs sound above the din for Nancy,
for Deble and for the kite track.
