Prospective Deficiency in the English

Prospective Deficiency in the English
Crops.
LONDON, May 10.-The Times saws that at
tention has been drawn to the probable effects
of the continuance of the cold, northerly winds
upon agricultural prospects sufficiently I'M
favorable. Unless a change occurs soon in the
temperature, that can be little or no fruit and
there may probable be serious deficiency in
the cereal crops, which means larger payment
than usual to foreign growers and eventually
dearer money. Prominent among other pros
pective deficiency yields on the continent is
the silk crop. Cold winds are keeping back
the mulberry leaves upon which the silk
worms feed The flow of silver to China and
Japan will probably be increased from this
cause.

SUPPOSED POISONING.
A Fitchburg Man Charged with Making

A Fitchburg Man Charged with Making
Way with His Sister.
FITcHBURG, Mass, May 1O'-Francis E.
Hayden was arrested at seven o'clock this
morning by officer Wheeler on complaint
charging him with poisoning his sister, Sarah
q. Hayden, on the second day of May. Young
Hayden was arraigned in the police court this
morning, the complaint alleging that he mixed
white arsenic with the food and medicine of
his sister on the second day of May, so that
she died the following day. The prisoner
pleaded not guilty, and the examination was
postponed until May 10Th without bail. Young
Hayden's father, Ebenezer C. Hayden, died
April 10th, and his mother April 10th, both
after sickness of few days. His sister was
sick only a few hours, and complained of no
pain, but couldn't breathe. An autopsy was
held on her body last Sunday, and portion of
her stomach sent to DR.. Hill of Boston for
analysis. The arrest was the result of this
analysis. Haydens fathers property amouted
to about $500, but the daughter held notes
against the estate for money advanced to pay
the expenses of young Hayden at the Boston
University, so that the latters share would be
less than 5000. The bodies of Mr.. and Mrs
Hayden will now be examined for traces of
poison
