WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Commis-
sioner Raum, in reply to enquiries
from Cincinnati, has rendered the
following decisions which will be of
interest to recti6ers and -distillers.
The Commissioner decides first that
rectifers may, before or after fill
ing their packages, put on marks
and brands necessary to indicate the
name and place of business of the
distillers and the particular name of
spirits, as known to the trade.
If upon gauging such spirits
the gauger finds that the brands
do not correspond with the facts he
will cause immediate correction.
Second: That under section 3,287
of the Revised Statutes, as amen
ded by the act of March LIST, 1879,
the particular name of spirits, as
known to the trade, to be put on
packages of spirits filled at the dis
tilleries, may be placed thereon in
a legible way by the use of a stem
Gil plate and durable paint, as well
as by burning or stamping.

NEWARK, n. j., Nov. A train
on the Greenwood Lake Railroad
ran off Of the Hackersack draw
bridge this morning. The engineer
was killed. There were about
twenty persons in the coach, mostly
business men living at Arlington,
Montclair and Greenwood Lake,
who were en- route to New York.
Several were badly injured, but as
far as known none fatally. All
were rescued before the coach filed
with water.
Additional dispatches state that
no one was killed except the en-
gineer, Dexter, who, when he dis
covered that the draw was open,
reversed his engine and jumped off,
and was killed by the force of the
jump The engine and passenger
coach were precipitated into the
river. The fireman, who remained
at his post, and the conductor were
both slightly injured. The passen-
ger-coach fOated on the water, and
the passengers were taken out by
men In small boats.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The New
York Tribune teIegrsphs at midnight :
eve have returns from one hundred
and eight towns in this State for Gov
ernOr, in which Cornell has IL 14l plus
rality. The Republicans last year
had 5000 in the same towns.
At this rate COrnell's plurality,
outside Of New York aud Brook
lyn, will be about so COO, and
he will be elected by about 30,OOO. In
fifty-three towns the remainder of the
ticket loses more than 200 on laet
years plurality, so that it will proba-
bly, have about 68, 900 plurality outside
of new York and Brooklyn, and be
elected 10y small majority. The re-
turns now coming in from the coun-
try are more favorable to the State
ticketn
At IL p. %. the estimate of the
New York ZrI5une received here is,
that Robinson has about eleven thou
sand plurality ia the city and ten
thousand in Brooklyn. In the re-
mainder of the State CornelPs plu-
rality is about thirty-six thousand and
this insures Cornell's election by about
sixteen thousand. The Republican
State ticket is in doubt.
Hoskins, for rLiedtenant- Governor, on
the Republican ticket, runs far ahead
of Cornell, and it looks as II be might
wipe out most, if not all of the Demo-
cratic vote, of between forty and fifty
thousand in the city. The scratching
on the local ticket ia SO great that tbs
result will not be known till very late
Boston reports Butler as concedine
his defeat by nine Thousand. Most o.
the other reports place it at from teI
to fifteen thousand.

ATLANTA, GA, Nov. At has
transpired here to-day that Col. E.
". Cole. one of the original lessees
of the Western and Atlantic Rail,
road, with certain Of his friends.
has purchased the shares in that
road heretofore owned by gentle-
men in the North, giving him and
MS friends controlling vote in the
company. This it is believed will
not be displeasing to the people of
Georgia, as Col. Cole is known to
be one of the ablest and most con-
serVatiVe railroad men in the South.

LONDON, Nov. A Rome dis

shortly send a Charge de Affairs to
Turkey to carry out the convention
about Bosnia, after which an in
ternunciO and several Bishops are to
be appointed.
A Reuter- Sophia telegram says
that owing to the strong opposition
to the Cabinet in the Assembly Ghe
Bulgarian Ministry have resigned,
but that Prince Alexander has not
accepted their designations.
The liabilities of Calvin Comis &
Co., on this side, are moderate, but
their Indebtedness in India is be-
lieved to be heavy, the firm having
acted as bankers for civil ser~
vice and army officials, on whom
the greatest loss will fall.

"A farmer can not work his farm
safely without knowing all about his
soil. Every field should be studied
as to the effects of certain methods
with fertilizers upon it. Then the
owner can act with reasonable Ger
tainty. The plan of experimenting
with fertilizers should be followed up
in successive years, until the charac-
ter of each field is known. This Is
the best season to experiment upon
fall crops and no time should be
lost if it is to be done; year will
thus be saved.
