THE financial condition Of Ran
dolph county is excellent, the total
indebtedness of the county being a
bonded debt of only $4,000, accord
ing to a publication by W. R.Samuel.
The people generally of the county
are also in a prosperous condition.
The cOunty's railroad subscription OF
S12j,000 has long since been paid off:
the county adopting the wise and
honest plan of beginning its payment
at once by annual installments-and
thus having those to pay the taxes
who reaped the benefits of increased
prices in land, &c, by the building of
the road. This plan also saved to the
people of that county, in interest and
extra costs Of collection, an amount
double the original subscription
which they would have had to pay
on the 20-ycar bond plan,-a plan
adopted by the people Of Andrcw,the
folly Of which, we hope, is now pal
pable to them.

TIE Wichita Eagle says the corr
crop of the Arkansas valley promises
to be simply immense. Not only are
the aggregated fields a wonder, but
each stalk bearing from one to four
ears isa matter of astOmShmCnt. liOr-
ace Carpenter facetiously remarks
that every stalk is filled with ears
from the ground up and a gourd of
shelled corn growing on the top. An
other one of our oldest farmers in
this county tells us that he has 375
acres that was plonghed, planted and
cultivated by three men with three
teams, the yield of which is prodi-

HORRIBLE MASSACRE.

New YORK, August 10.-A letter
from Lou Miaguel in the Star and
Herald, of Panama, received to-day,
saws of the maSSaere: After the bar
racks had been taken, nothing was
heard but the savage yelIs of the as
~sailants, desolation in all directions,
breaking doors and windows ofhous-
cs of merchants and others, robbing,
%pillaging, assassinating and applying
torches to houses ana whatever else
their within suggested. Amidst all,
this continuous cry of death to for
eigners,' ''dcath to herctics" was
constantly heard. The town remain
ed for three days at the mercy of the
aSsailants, and during that time all
classes of crimes had been committed
and even those who took refuge in
the church were threatened with as
sassination by the Infatuated mob.
The loss on property will not fall
short of Il million of dollars. The
President of the Republic has done
what he could to bring the offenders
to punishment, but so numerous are
they that they cannot be dealt with.
The foreigners i'll the place have adj
dressed their respective governments
for the purpose of making the gov
ernmcnt responsible for the losses in
Cured.

1t is nov highly probable that a

chased the steamer Planter, which
draws only four feet of water, and is

on the Rio Grande. She will be COM

The Niagara Falls Register thinks
at is not impossible that some strong
man in Il light strong boat may at Il
future time 90 over the Horseshoe
Falls and not be killed. The reasons
for this belief are that on two Occa-
sions, onc in 1886 and the other in
1893. a dog has been thrown into the
rapids, gone oyer the fall, and sur
vivcd the operation. In the latter
east the dog came up the ferry stairs
in less than an hour, looking very
wet. and not at all gay. The cason
given for tho safety of the animals is
that the water pours down more rap
idly than It can run off, and large wa
ter cones are formed, ON which the
dogs slid down safely into the cur
rent below. We think. however,that
no anc person will try the expert
mCnt.

The SCHILLER CALAMITY INYES-

Trade attributes the loss Of the Schil-

take soundin@s when he found HIM
self in an ~impcnctrable fog. The re-
port Of the Board says: The explain
alton of the catastrophe is that the
ship had greatly overrun heT distance.
She must have been further to the
nOrthward and eastward than the
dead reckoning donated. Had a cast
of the lead been taken at eight or
ever nine O'Clock, before the course
was altered 10 sOuth-southWcst. from

proximity to danger and the error in
their reckoning, and would probably
have averted the sad disaster"

THE "grass war; continues in some

feeling and many lawsuits is the re-
suit. In the western part of the
county some parties are moving the
grass on all uninclOscd land, utterly
~diSregarding the rights of the owners
or of those persons who have a legal
lease of the lands. These parties are
not cutting this grass to feed to their
own stock. but + cuttingit for spec
ulation, selling it in the st. Joseph
market. Whilst the law of trespass
does not prohibit a person from graz
ing his stock on uninclOSed land, it
does expressly state that he shall not
remove any stone. mineral, shrub,

permission. and if the owner or lessee
of the land bring suit he may recOyer

The Erie Railway Company completed OH the
morning of the 2Gth OF March new bridge
across the Delaware at Port Jervs, which re-
places that recently carried away by ice. The
bridge WAS swept away ON Wednesday, the 18th
inst, and its rapid completion s an extraordi-

900.
The Altoona Tribune says Oders have been
received at the shops of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, in this city, for several new cars
tobe denominated Centennial passenger cars"
and it is also stated that number of the new
locomotives are to be built. Dnring the past
several days number of additional workmen
have been employed in the company's shop at
this point
Work has been resumed Mt the Schen ectady
On. Y.) Locomotive Works on an order for
twelve heavy ten-wheeled engines for the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad. One hundred and fifty
men are employed at present, but the force is
to be increased.
The greatest movement of freight ever made
by Erie in one day was transacted iii the twenty
four hours immediately following the compile
tion of the new bridge over the Delaware, .,9H
cara having passed over the bridge in that time.
The longshoremen on the East River, at New
York, refused on Monday to work for less than
forty cents an hour. Owing to the large ship.

with.
