IERGER PROBABLY CONDEMNED TO
DEATH- Cincinnati, July27.-Mr. Ben
Pittman, the famous photographer, has
Just returned from reporting the Yerger
trial, at jackson, Miss. He says that it
was by all odds the most interesting and
thorough he ever reported The defence
had engaged the best medical taleut in
the entire South, to prove Yerger insane,
and nothing could be more elaborate and
exhaustive than the efforts to establish
that plea. Mr.. Pittman believes that If
the trlal had been before any jury in the
country, 1t would have acquitted Yerger.
As it is, he belives that the Military
Commission found him guilty, and SEN
tenced him to death.

Drought In Georgia.

s1r Information, reaching from the
GTannah to the Chattahoochee. satisfies
rs OF the general prevalence OF drought
'ln Middle Georgia, which is more or less
excessive in different localities. Jeffer-
son, Hancock, Columbia and Putnam
counties, so far as we have heard, seems
to suffer most severely. In certain To-
callties in these counties rain has fallen
in occasional showers But for the most
part the corn has been cut short, and the
cotton has suffered to an unusual extent
more especially where the plant has been
stimulated in its growth by the free use
of fertilizers, the forms dropping and
the leaves drying up. Old planters say
that the full effects will not be seen until
there is rain, aud then it may b. expect
ed that the Plant will "shed" freely. The
plant itself is smaIl-backwar for the /
senson-but has hitherto given good
promise Of fruit. The continuance Of
the drought must affect the crop of this /
region seriously.-AngHsta (Ga.) .Senti-

Had our legislators and platform ma

basing positive laws upon theories and
enunciatlng mere scientific theories as
positive laws, an immense deal of trouble

apply to the Hotteutots and the Caffres

Great Railroad Disaster.

LOUISVILLE, July 28.-The cause OF
the railroad accident near Clarkesgille,
Tenn. has not been ascertained. The
trestle was only about two years old and
the bridge three years old.
Two spans of the bridge, about fifty
feet each in length, and four spans OF
the trestle fell The speed with which
the train was goiugs carried it under the
track upon the side Of the creek.
The following is list of the casual
ties:

Considering the fact that the fall was
at least 20 or 30 feet, and that all of the
cars we're nearly pulverized, it seems a
miracle that single soul escaped.
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS

The express books and papers were

A COUNTY FAIR.-Once upon a time
there lived in Manitowoc County class
of men who had enterprise enough to
get up Fair. That class seems to have
died out entirely, for during the last
four or FIVE years there has been nothing
done towards an exhibition of the pro-
ducts of our County, and it seems to us
it is about time we were waking up and
being even with the rest of the world.
Every county in the State, almost, has an
annual Fair, and we of Manitowoc can t
have one in sac gears What is the rea-
son? The only one we can imagine, is
the lack of energy in those who should
endeavor to do this much for the benefit
of our county, (for it is beneft) and
We sincerely hope that class of mon
enterpriseists" will sell out or get "sold
out" and that next October we may
have regular old fashioned County Fair.
Who will take the fist step?
