WASHINGTON. Sep 6.
A dispatch received at the Depart
ment of State from the United States
Secretary of Legation at Vienna, gives
an account of the opening of the In
terpational Cereal Fair on the 20lh of
August in the rotunda of the vast edi.
flee In which the exposition was held.
The number of producers aud grain
merchants present exceeded 10000.
and the amount of business transacted
surpassed all expectations. Official re-
ports of the condition of crops through
ont The Empire up to the 18th of Aug.
ust gave assurances of abundant
harvest following. The barley, beet,
and potatoe crops are excellent,
although the potatoe rot has appeared
in some districts. Hops are good in
BOHEMIA, bat not so good in other
Provinces. A good and general vintage
is expected.

REGISTERED LETTERS RIFLED,

Tire Baltimore Sun OF Monday says:
'sSamuel W. Jetferys, Postmaster at Big
Springs, Calhoun County, West Va.,was
arrested Friday last by Special Agents
W. L. Henderson, OF Baltimore, and S. T..
Hooten, OF Grafton, charged with ritiing
registered letters. He was arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Thomas l.. Spates, at Clarksburg, and,
waiving an examination, was committed
tor trial in default Of $1,000 bail. The
statement made by Mr.. henderson is
that as far back as December, 1876, COM
plants were made that registe let
ters coming from Grantsville, Calhoun
County, and going east Of Washington,
had Deen rifled. In March and April,
1876, similar complaints were made,
one of the rIfed letters having
been addressed to the Balti-
more American. From wrong
clue, which was started at the Balti-
more Post-office, the Assistant Post
master at GranLsville was arrested, but
his Innocence was soon established.
Last February more rified registered
letters were heard of, and the special
agents again set to ferret out the guilty
party, whose depredations were period
ical. The Post-otfice at Big Springs was
visited, and some homemade BLACK Ink,
and the fact that the stamped en-
velope account showed discrepancies,
led to the suspicion against Jetferys.
On searching his person a 81 note which

was required to receipt for the passage

directions, started forward to their des-
tinalions. Jefreys, who is cripple, is

THE REMAINS or ], WILKES BOOTH.

To dispose OF certain absurd stories
that have lately appeared in public
prints, the Baltimore Gazette says tnat
President Andrew johnson ordered the
remains of j. Wilkes Booth to be deliv-
cred to his family, and that they sent
John Ii. Weaver, a Baltimore UNDER
taker, to Washington to receive them.
A box was taken from the Arsenal build
ing and delivered to MIN. 1t was found
to contain a skeleton wrapped In an ar
my blanket. On the right foot was an
army shoe, cut open at the top lis
entire length, as it to accommo-
dale a swollen feot. On the other was
"a large cavalry boot. A reporter of the
Gazette ex mined the bones in and
ABOVE the shoe, ,an0 found that the leg was
broken just above the ankle. Still, the
Identity of the remains was not satlsfac-
toriy established, especially as there
was no portion OF the spinal Vertebra
missing, and no marx OF any bullet upon
them. A brother of BooLh's was sent
for, who said that Wilkes had his tooth
plugged with gold iu peculiar manner,
He described the location Of the tooth,
and drew with pencil lhe shape OF The
plug, which was Of unusual size. The
Teeth were taken out, and the Tooth was
found plugged as described. The re-
mains were buried in IGreenmOuut Gem.

Fee COmmi issl lOner'S Annual Zee
port.
From the annual report of Charles W.
Baker, Prosecuting Attorney of the
County, and who is also Fee Commits
sioner, the following in reference to the
deficit in the Sherif7s Office is taken:
"ln the latter part or April last dis
crepancy was discovered between the
amounts that had been actually received
in the SherIff's office during the years
1875 and 1876, in the shape OF ices and
costs, and The amounts turned into the
treasury to the account OF the fee fund,
and accounted for in these quarterly re-
ports to the County Commls ssloners. l
Immediately instituted a thorough ex-
animation Of the accounts OF the Sneritf's
office, and discovered that quite a large
deficit existed, covering the period Of
the years 1870 and 1876, during which
time considerable amounts mad been COL
lecLed, but not accounted Tor.
mot 'iOnIye have l myself given the
matter thorough examination, but l
| have called to my assistance, at the sug-
gestiOn OF the Commis ssioners, a gentle
NAH who is thorough accountant aud
oookkeeper, Mr.. j. NJ. Waters, of the
AuaitoI's office; and ! present as re-
|
statement Of all lees received during the
years 1915 and 1916 by the Sheriff OF
Hamilton County, together with copies
Of all the quarterly reports during that
| period, as filed with The County Com
| missioners, together with statement OF
these reports as they should have bee n
made.
! "The tables show that the total collec-
tions deposited in the fee lupd were
$54, 200 03, when S62, 251 28 should have
peen accounted for, leaving a deficit and
due the fee lund $9,55S 56. -..
''In addition to Lnls amount, there was
also deficit in the tund in the hands of
the Sheriff known as unclaimed costs.
The fund consists OF costs collected and
received by the sheriff belonging to liti-
gants, who may have advanced the Va
rlous amounts to Notal les, etc., and
which the Sheriff is authorized to pay
to those who may be entitled 10 receive
them. The amount OF this deficiency
was $4 1888 46. This, however, is not to be
classeu Win, and is entirely independ-
ent of, the lee fund, being the property
of lltigants entirely. This amount Mr..
Springmeier, tue Ex-Sherltt, immedi-
aIely made good TO the Sheriff by paying
it in 1ull as soon as the exact amount OIL
the deficiency could be aScertalned from
the books. O the 9,55S 56 now due the
fee lund, 81, 900 has already been paid to

SUMNER is now fairly on and with
every prospect of hot weather. June,
however, is generally healthy month ;
the heat, while uncomfortable, being in
season, promotes a good sanitary con-
dition. Following it comes the heated
days of July, August and September,
when it is necessary that all cities,
towns and villages should be as free
from filth OF all kinds as possible. This
is desirable at all times, but it is espe-
cially so when there is danger of cpl
denies that nothing but this will avert.
Cincinnati is one Of the most healthfuI
cities in the country. She has always
been SO in the past, and will continue to
maintain this reputation if the same care
is paid to sanitary precautions that has
contributed go much to her interest and
good name in the past. The location Of
the city is, without doubt, an excellent
one In this respect, and this does q good
deal; but no city, whatever be its natu
raj advantages, can continue to hold
high rank for the health Of its people un
less every precaulion be taken to pre-
vent disease. Want OF proper drainage
filthy streets, unclean cellars and, above
all, incompetent or careless sanitary
officers, are Affections which no locality
is healthy enough to stand. In most o
these particulars Cincinnati is wei
fixed. Her sanitary officers are careful
painstaking men, who appreciate the
great Importance of the duty imposed
upon them, and are desirous o
still further advancing the city in the
scale OF healthtulness. All the state
ments that have been published show
