Douglas county, Democrat, of Septem-
Der l4th
There was considerable amusement
created at the Methodist church in this
city Wednesday night, when "Sister''
DeGeer lectured. Rev. MacBurney who
likes good Joke, in Introducing the
lectures, said most Of you are acquaint.
ed with Mrs. DeGeer, as | am informed
that she has spoken number of times
in your city. In her eventiul Lie she
has received a good many calls, some OF
which she has answered and some she
has not, but the last call she had was
from Captain Call, and she an.
swered him yes. Ladies and gentlemen,
there Is no Mrs. DeGeer present: | have
the honor to introduce to you Mrs. Cali,
the wife of Capt. Call OF Cairo" A
bumble.bee in her bonnet could not
have caused her greater CONSERVATION,
She jumped to her feet and Indignantly
denied that there was any Mrs. Call
there, but admitted that she had mar.
ried Capt. Call few months ago-only
it was the distinct understanding that
she should retain the name OF DE.
Geer! Her marriage was kept SO secret
that her own daughter did not know II
until Mr.. MacBurney let the cat out OF
the bag. SO to speak, and the disclosure
so "riled" her that she couldn't lecture
worth picayune. The boys applauded
Mr.. MacBurney when he apologized for
blocking her little game, though she had
admitted his "soil impeachment" In all
but a change OF name. The boys say 1t
was as good as circus to see her cavort.
The writer Of the above Is mistaken as
to Capt. Calls residence. He never, to
our knowledge, lived in Cairo. Ills homo
Is, and has been for several years, at
Ullin, In Pulaski county. The marriage
OF Capt. Can and Mrs. DeGeer seems 10

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 15.-The statts-
tician Of the Department Of Agriculture reports
the condition of cotton the first week in Sep
tembcr as averaging tor the whole cotton belt
the same as in September last year. Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and
Tennessee make higher averages than in 1876
The Carolinas, Georgia, and Texas report less
favorably, the greatest reduction being in Tex
as. As compared with last month, Florida Ar
kansas, and Tennessee only report improve
mcnt. The percentages of condition are as fol-
lows: North Carolina, So; South Carolina, IS;
Georgia, 73, Florida, 81; Alabama, 81; Mississip-
ri, S.; Louisiana, %; Texas, 10; Arkansas, %;
Tennessee. 100. The caterpillar is present III
all the Gulf States and in South Carolina, but
has done little damage as yet, except in Texas.
In several parishes in Louisiana the loss is con-
siderable from this cause. Where it has made
a late appearaee it will be rather all injury to
the crop. In the Atlantic States there is much
complaint Of rust, mainly resulting from
drought, but in some counties from injury BY
beating storms. In this section the growth IS
late, and the effects OF frost in shortening the
harvest is feared

Hanging " Molly Maguires.

Thursday, May 21, was Hangman's
Day" in Pennsylvania. Kelly, Doyle,
Donahue and Campbell Molly Maguires),
convicted of various murders, were
hanged at Mauch Chunk on the same
scaffold at the same time. They were
all attended by priests. Kelly, Doyle
and Campbell died easy; Donahue
struggled for two minutes. Prior to
their execution, when asked if they had
anything to say, Campbell said he for
gave everybody and he had notan enemy
in the world; Doyle's speech was inaudi-
BILE; Kelly recited after the priest plea
for forgiveness; Donahue had nothing to
say. In the morning the latter drove his
counsel from his cell.
AT Pottsville, Boyle, McGeehan, Car
roll, Roarity, Duffy and Munly (all Molly
Maguires) were hanged for the murder
of Policeman Yost at Tamaqua in 1875.
They were hanged in pairs in the order
given. Priests accompanied the doomed
men TO the scaffold. Boyle was self.
possessed during the services on the
scatfold, occasionally inhaling the per.
fume of a rose which he held in his hand.
Responding to a remark of the priest
Doyic SAUL ain IL DlI sOIIy' mC'
Geehan asked forgiveness of the whole
world if he had done wrong to them
Neither had anything to say as to his
guilt or innocence. Roarity and Carroll
declared their innocence on the scafold
Munly and Duffy made no speeches.
Andrew Lanahan was hanged al
Wilkesbarre for the murder of Capt
John Riley at that place Sept. IA, 1875
He walked firmly to the gallOws and as
cended the steps in the same manner
In his speech he thanked his friends fol-
their kindness and said he forgave every
one. He died easily.

The Last of Table Rock.

On the Gath ult. the last of what was
so long known as Table Rock, at Mag
ara, broke off and fell into the river.
The mass weighed nearly sixty tons and,
up to 1876, 1000 names of visitors had
been carved upon it. The part which
fell on the Gath composed only half of
the original rock, the rest having fallen
in. On Saturday. Jan. 1, 1929, surface
of the rock supposed to be the side of
half an acre, forming the bed of Maiden
Walk, broke loose and was precipitated
into the immense chasm below. The
crash was heard for distance of five
miles, and the effects in the immediate
neighborhood resembled the shock of an
earthquake. The water running under
the bank is supposed to have caused the
fall on the Gath, and the shock, when
the rock struck the water was distinctly
felt three miles from the falls. Several
of the trees which stood on the rock are
now seen standing in the river as erect
as when in their original places on the
rock. Where the rock shelved off from
the bank, at a distance of twenty feet
from the top, can be seen the root of a
tree estimated to be two feet in diameter,
1t attracts considerable attention.-SyrG-
