Beaver, Utah, July 2s.-Several
witnesses weresworn at Beaver to-day,
whose evidence was confirmatory OF
that of the day preceding. Lees cell

contain numerous articles to assist
him in his escape. This afternoon

New York, July 2s.-It is reported
that the Commercial Warehouse Co.
has failed. The cause is said to be
owing to heavy advances Oh the Cuban
crops, which the early rains haye de
stroyed. The house also advanced
largely on railroad securities, which
have deprecated.
On Monday last, Mrs. Sarah NJ.
Sherman, widow of Mr.. Sherman, and
VIM. Butler Duncan, of the firm of
Duncan, Sherman & Co., made trans
fers of real estate in this city, to A.
Duncan, amounting to 1886, 900.
The Post says that the losses Of Dun
can, Sherman & Co., on cotton, will
exceed one million dollars. The bank
of London and Barring Bros. & Co.,
have both been guaranteed Ivy Alex
ander Duncan.
The Commercial Warehouse Conn
pany began busir ess in May 1867. with
a capital of s.. .Oo0, eco; Paul Jarman
as President, and Jarvis f. Navarro,
Vice President. The stock is mostly
owned in Cuba. Tie officers of the
company say that the suspension was
hastened by political disturbances in
Cuba, although directly caused by the
advances on sugars that the company
had no connection or relation with
Duncan, Sherman s. Co; it has no
European correspondents, nor any
agencies in this country.
Mr. FiGE nf thn firm, pf EiSlg &
Hatch, says that careful inquiry has
been made among the banks, and that
not more than one hundred thousand
dollars at the outside, of the firms
bills, are held in the city. Mr.. Duer,
President of the Bank OF the State of
New York, where the suspended firm
kept their account, said his bank held
some three or four hundred thousand
dollars in securities of the firm, all of
which was available stock.
Judge Shipman, assignee of Duncan,
Sherman & Co., was busy all day, to-
day, with the clerks, making an ex-
animation of the books. The finan-
cial statement will not be ready for
some time.
The Secretary of the Commercial
Warehouse Company stated to-day
that the probable liabilities of the
company would amount to about one
million, five hundred thousand dollars,
and that the assets, which are not
available, four million dollars. A full
and complete statement of the affairs
of the company will be ready in about
two weeks. The company has been
in shaky condition for some time,
and lately asked its creditors for an
extension of four months with twenty
per cent. interest as an offset, which
was refused. The company does a
la-ge business in making advances on
goods stored in their sixteen large
warehouses, and these goods were left
on their hands. It is also stated that
advances were made on Cuban sugar
plantations, which have been destroy
ed in the civil war, and that the firm
have been dabbling in Cuban bonds.

London, July 2s.-The suspension
of Duncan, Sherman & Co., has no
effect on the general market here.
The members of the American rifle
team will visit the arsenal and dock
yard at Woolwich to-day, by special
permission.
Thirty-one mills closed at Dundee and
twelve thousand persons are thrown
out of employment. Both the en-
ployers and the operatives resolved
not to yield. If the strike should ex-
tend to all the mills in that district,
thirty thousand persons will te out of
employment.

Glasgow, July 2S.-Grant's cotton

Chicago, July 2s.-A Washington
special says: When Spinner and
Bristow quarrelled it was on account of
Spinner wanting to have his own way
in the administration of the affairs of
his Office. Secretary Bristow declined
to indulge him and he was finally
thrust aside. Now comes John S.
New, the new Treasurer, and he
threatens to have either his own way
or to resign; and the difference is, that
Bristow, while declining TO give up to
Spinner, graciously yields TO the Indi-
anspolis banker. 1t appears that
Bristow has been making appoint
ments in the Treasurcr's Office without
consulting its head, and likewise, on
his own authority, making dismissals.
New stood it as long rs he could, but a
day or two ago, however, he deter
mined to stop it or throw up his Office.
reason with him as to the wisdom of
the course that had Leen pursued.
The plain spoken Treasurer waited to
discern the force of the Secretary's
logic, and then with much feeling told
him, that henccfoI ward he must have
entire control of all appointments in
his Office or that the Treasurership
would be vacated at once. The result
of the interview was that New retired
the victor. To-day, however, he again
became a little bellicose because the
Secretary transferred James Gilfillan,
his cashier, to the office of chief clerk.
1t was done without asking the Treas
urer, and he did not like it. This lit
tie unpleasant feeling however, can be
bridged over without any serious re-
suit. The fact is, that New is disgust
ed with public life. Ie is rich enough
to be Independent, and he means to
be, and it is pretty certain that he will
relinquish the Office he now holds as
soon as he can do so conveniently,
without embarrassing Secretary Bris-
tow.

Fall Seeding.

it up as soon as the oats are remOv-

wait till September, after the sun has
baked il for month. l plow as
deep as possible, with an ordinary
steel plow, and at seeding time,
scatter the manure and cross plow,
comparatively shallow, placing the
manure where it will be Immediately
available to the Young wheat when
it sprouts-then harrow the field
smoothly before sowing the grain
By this method the oats stubble Is
left below uudisturbed, TO keep the
soil loose, and furnish additional food
W hen it rots. i have drilled in my
wheat for the last two years and

crops above what there would have
been sowed broadcast, has already
paid for the drill, and it is still as
good as ever.-Ohis Farmer.

Dividing the Farm.

\ writer says that for q farm Of
eighty to one hundred acres, upon
which the usual rotation of clover,
corn, oats and wheat is followed,
and stock, chiefly cows, with q small
flock of sheep, is kept TO consume the
bulky portion of the crop. a pasture
of twenty acres will be found suHi-
cient This should be divided iEto
at least three fields. One would be
grazed for cattle followed by the
sheep-for these should never be
pasthred together-but the latter be-
ing close feeders, may follow the for
mer with advantage, while the for
mer could not fnd subsistence in a
field that had been cropped BY the
latter The third field would then
rest while the others were being fed
off. The alteration would be bene-
fetal for both grass and stock Tne
rest of the farm should be divided in
to fields or plots Of proper size by
bands Of grass, which can be moved.
or by simple paths. The most con-
yenient division is into six fields,
which will give year on each of corn,
wheat and oats and three Of hay.
One of the latter three fields might be
appropriated to provisional crops,
such as potatoes, roots, corn fodder,
buckwheat or millet. The orchard,
garden, barnyard, with the building
sites, and few paddoeks around the
barn-yard for calves and colts, will
occupy 1T least FIVE acres upon a
farm of the size here described. All
these must necessarily be permanent
ly and safely enclosed, and the whole
farm will be surrounded with sub
stantial fence. However much the
abolition of fences may be desirable,
it is improbable that it will soon be
found practicable Such fences as
are here mentioned may be taken as
the least requirement in that way Of
any well-managed farm under our
present circumstances Outside fen
ces may certainly be done away with
if a general understanding is arrived
at to that effect.-AHOH.

Rosardus on Pigeon shooting.

The suggestion made by Captaia
Bogardus, that in pigeon shooting
matches boundaries" should be aboE-

the attention of al sportsnen. IN
der the present rule matches are de-
eided by pure luck Strong birds,
though badly bit, drop outside the
boundary and the sportsman is cred
