for the Purpose.
A LARGE FORGERY Y.
Contemptuous Disregard OF Ju-
dicial Orders.

The cases of the United States vs.. B. II. Hutton
ct AL VS.. George Bliss and Levi P. Morton came
up before Judge Blatchford yesterday on demurrer
to the complaints. These suits are on ware
house bonds of the firm of Bernhard Hutton for
duties. The bonds contained alternative conditions
and were by their terms satisfied by the withdrawal
OF the goods from bonded warehouse for export
while the withdrawal of the goods for consumption
gave the bonds effect The complaint stated that the
goods withdrawn. but did not state
whether withdrawn for consumption or ex-
port. The defendants get up that the COM
plant failed to state facts sufficient to con-
stitute cause of action. Upon the argument Judge
Batchford characterized the complaints as "bung.
ling piece of work" District Attorney Woodford
then asked tor ten days to amend. and assured inc
Court that His Honor's eyes should not be again
offended with such q pleading from his ofice
Judge Batchford finally concluded that the pleading
was "good enough" and overruled the demurrers.
United States District Attorney Woodford and Assist
ant United States Attorney Wallace appeared for the
government and A. j. Vanderpoel ana hoger NJ

Eastern Ohio Crop Prospect.

From what information we can gather
from the coun les of Eastern OHIO or
posite to and in the vicinity OF Wheel
ing, the outlook for good crops seems
not very fattering, but As the worst view
is generally presented first, there is still
some room for hopes. Until quite re.
Gently, the spring was cold and backward,
which is always discouraging to farmers,
aud calculated to give gloomy cast TO
their predictions The sharp advance
in hay is accounted for in two ways =
FIRST, most of the accumulated hay and
fodder has been exhausted, forcing many
growers to buy hay to keep their stock
until the grass is we'll advanced, and Sec
ond, many farmers, dissatisfied with the
late unremunerative prices have plowed
up their meadow lands for other purpo.
ses 1t Is probable that the late advance
will produce reyulsion Of feeling and
in this way cause another flctuation.
Wheat, it is said, makes poor show.
iug, though under the influence of the
late wsrm rains and bright sun, has i'm
proved considerably. The almost total
absence of any lengthy spells of pro.
tecting snow has allowed the wheat to
feel the full force of the sharp snaps OF
cold at the tail end of winter and on the
exposures II was very badly frozen out.
A continuation OF favorable weather
may, however, still do wonders for the
crop Better things are expected from
oats, correspondent writing that mi :
dium Weld is expected. 1t was sown
very late, however. and an opinion is but
little more than prediction.
Fruit generally is coming along finely.
The usual peach scare prevails, but a
scarcity OF this fruit will not be serious
" felt when the E,stern- crop promises
as we'll as at present. The Belmont
Chronicle says:
Fruit buds have not developed to any
extent, but careful examination reveals
the fact that peaches and the finer vsric-
ties of cherries we're killed in the bnd-
of the latter, the Morellas probably alone
escaped Peach buds cannot survive
when the thermometer touches zoe below
zero, as it did here last winter. Apples,
pears and plums are uninjured however,
this is the off year for the former, and q
full crop cannot reasonably be expected
The small fruits wintered we'll, and
with favorable weather will probably be
abundant, as usual. The cold weather
has retarded the blossoming ofthe STRAW
berries, 90 that. while the crop may ma
ture late, the danger from May frosts
will be averted.
Sheep, cattle, and ali kinds Of stock
wintered we'll. and are generally report.
ed in good condition.
