SHERIFF ATKIN3cN OF Storey county
brought down and delivered at THE
States Prison yesterday ono Triplet,
convicted of DEMONSTRATING and sen.
fenced to one year in the Penitentiary
This makes, we believe, one hundred
and twelve prisoners in that institution.
This is q very decided crowding of the
mourners. There really is not room fol-
more than three-fourths of the present
number there; but crime presses hard
and its votaries when detected, must be
provided with adequate restraint. OF
course the number will continue to in
crease. This leads US to say that there
are at least two men in the prison who
ought to be taken from there and sent to
4 lunatic Asylum. There is Lefevre,
for instance. About six years and a
half since be was sent to the prison from
Washoe county for the crime of man
slaughter. His term Is eight years and
will be out in about eighteen months.
Beyond any doubt he has been insane
all tina. time Under Slingerland's adj
ninistration he Ike to have killed sew
eral persons and had to be ironed and
confined to his cell Warden Hyman
him at work with g. wheelbarrow in the
yard. One day the mnrderous iii
sliced him aud he picked up stone AID
flung it at Chinalnan-a prlsoner-and
came within an ace of killing him. He
IS as crazy as a bedbug and extremely
dangerous His brother lately came
here from Canada and represented that
he, the prisoner, had fallen heir
TO an estate there, and was needed to
enable the executors to settle it up. The
Pardoning board would be quite justified
in letting his brother take him away, We
think. Indeed We should not oppose
the taking of the whole concern TO
Canada or any other Dominion. Well,
Lefevre is crazy, sure enough, and has
been. for years; and if he is not shipped
to his home he ought to be sent to the
Lunatic Asylum. And then there is the
case Of the man Gates sent from White
Pine county, for life, for murder IN the
second degree He is nothing in the
world but a madman-either that or an
idiot. The intelligent jury of his coun-
trymen, after its being proven to them
that he killed his man deliberately and.
so far as it was possible to make out his
purpose. ii was shown that he did 1t IN
cold blood; and it was also represented
20 them SO that they couldn't help hav-
ing some strong misgivings about the
plea that the man WAS insane; and 50
they compromised things and brought
in a verdict of murder in the second de
gree. That is the way q White Pine
jury compromised with its conscience and
divided the honors between murder and
lunacy. Well. Gates. too, ought to be
taken out of the prison and sent to
Woodbridge. We cont like to think
that the Prison Board are so bercft Of a
needful discrimination as to be p0werless |
to act as business man would act i'll
these premises. II they are, then the |
laws are lame and should be straight |

Of the emotional ones too, doubtless:

CROPS PROSPECTS.
Reports Up to october LIST.

JACKSONVILLE, ILL.,, Oct. 10.-Reports
dated October 1st, received at the office
of the National Crop Reporter, Indicate
slightly increased loss on corn in ILL.
nois, Missouri and Ohio. Estimated loss.
es In the States mentioned, are respective.
ly: IA 7-10, z Ito and 8 3-10 per cent.
Reports from all quarters agree almost
unanimousy that but little damage has
been effected by the recent frost, but con-
firm the report Of serious injury by
frost in the latter part Of Sept at which
time most OF the corn was yet In milk.
The result will be great deal OF soft
corn, much ol which cannot even be fed
to stock. Reports from Iowa indicate q
loss on corn as compared with last year,
OF only CLIO per cent, which would
make yield ior this year of 129 bushels
As lar as can be learned the acreage Of
wheat sown this fall 10 very considerably
greater than in 1872, and thus far, In
most sections the weather has been favor
able TO the growth. Additional reports
from Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin,, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and Ohio confirm the
estimated falling of Of the Irish potatoe
crop in those States which In 1870 pro-
duced over forty.three millions bushels
The loss at the given rate would aggre-
gate over sixteen millions bushels. Scat
tering reports from the cotton states men
tion that much damage has been caused
to tho late cotton by drought and worms,
especially In Arkansas and Tennessee.
