Favorable Prospects for the Crops.
 CINCINNATI, March 16.-The Star to-day publishes fruit and crop reports from nearly all points in the South and West, made up by farmers of the various sections.

Peaches in few places have been somewhat injured by the recent cold snap, but the prospects are generally good for a fine crop unless the present weather terminates with severe frost, which is greatly feared. h every section small fruits of all kinds promise to be abundant. The farmers all speak of the return of better times and 8 general feeling of prosperity. This is es- pecially the tone of reports from the South.

What GRrcelOn Did with the State
 Money.
 AUGUSTA, March Ex-Governor Garcelon again appeared before the Hale committee tonight and explained the disposition of the S7, 1000 which he had drawn from the State Treasury before'his term of office had expir- cd.

He has in his possession at the present time the sum of $956, which he is to pay for bills contracted and audited. He was further questioned by Mir. Hale in regard to individual members of the Council having anything to do with amending or altering the returns. He replied that he regarded the Councillors as honorable men and he knew nothing about the returns as they now were. The cross-examination was long and critical, but nothing new was elicited. The hearing closed at midnight and the committee will soon submit their report. The Governor was discharged and all examinations are ended. The Legislature will probably adjourn Friday this week finally.

The Piano Makers, Strike.

TMe P1AnO makers5 SlflKes
 NEW YORK, March 16.-The lockout of piano makers, which was begun yesterday, promises to be a very long and stern struggle. Both manufacturers and workmen are pre- pairing for the worst, and the contest will end either with the utter downfall of the union or by investing it with such power as it never before possessed. The strike on the part of the men is managed by the executive commit tee of the union, which WAS in session from early morning receiving reports and directing the details of the strike. All negotiations with employers must be made through them. Over three thousand men have been locked out. Both sides profess great confidence in the result. All the large firms have joined the lockout except Decker Bros. The union has received offers of aid from various outside sources and labor organizations in this and other cities.

Charge AgalnEt a Patent Medicine Man
 PROVIDENCE, March 16.-To-day it was dis. covered that William D. Hilton, ex-superin- tendent of the Providence and Worcester Railroad, and now proprietor of the patent medicine ''Sapanule," had been forging the names of William s. Slater and Lyman A. Cooke. The amount of his forgeries is unde- termined yet, as all the base paper is not yet collected. Slater and Cooke have advertised to have it sent to them for inspection. No arrest yet.
 PROVIDENCE, March IF, 12:30 A. M.-No arrest in the Hilton forgery case yet. The forgeries are said already to foot up over $20, 900. with more to be heard from. A sim gular part of the whole is that Cooke and Slater advertised the forgery in the evening papers, calling for the presentation of the same at their offices and have not lodged a complaint with the police authorities. Hilton is the same person whose name appeared in the New England papers few months ago as one who had had several warnings from spir- it's and by visions of impending accidents on railroads and to members of his family.

Nine Years Waiting EOr a "Ehank YOu.o
 [Rev. E. P. HammondJ
 While in Detroit he noticed the gentleman at whose house he was 8 guest looking wist- fully ont of window which commanded a view of the road for 8 long distance. The side of the gentlemans face was disfgured by great scars, which told Of his having re- ceived serious wounds. Mir. Hammond asked him what he was thinking about, which he answered bys touching narrative. "About nine years ago." he said, q was looking out of this window when I saw horse galloping up the road. There was no one in the car riage but little girl. I rau down stairs and out on the road just in time to stop the horse, but in doing so was knocked down and all most killed. The father of the girl, coming up, jumped into the carriage and drove of. E or three days I remained unconscious be- tween life and death. On regaining conscious ness the first question asked was, Where is the little girl2' but they could only say that she was unhurt. For these nine years have been confined to the house with chronic neu- ralgia. My physicians say I will never re cover. I would have died for that little girl. and yet she never came to thank me. I often look over the road to see if she isn't coming, for you can't imagine what satisfaction it would be to me to have that little girl come and thank me-"

 SENATE.-On motion of Senator Thurman, the resolution offered by Senator Kellogg on Friday, for the appointment of 8 committee to investigate certain scandalous newspaper charges against him, was laid on the table, 34 yeas, and 35 nays, 8 strict party vote.
 MT. Edmunds, of Vermont introduced & bill to fix the day for the meeting of the cleo tors of President and Vice President, and to provide for and regulate the counting of the votes for President and Vice President and the decision of questions arising thereon. In doing so he said: For more than a year now there has existed large select committee of this body, charged with the duty of considering this and other cognate objects As it has done nothing feel it my duty to introduce this bill.
 The post route deficiency bill was taken up and MT. Beck concluded his speech in favor of the bill.
 MT. Teller defended the Postofice depart ment in it's exercise of the discretionary power with which 1t is vested in regard to Star routes. It is not true that the Postmaster General has abused this power or exceeded it.
 MT. Garland took exception to the preamble of the bill, which states that the deficiency in the appropriation for the Star route postal service was caused by the Postofice depart ment disregarding the law which prohibits expenditures of money in excess of appropria- tion, etc. He questioned whether this is 8 proper method to condemn the department.
 MT. Davis, of West Virginia, said that the greater part of the debate was on the pream- ble, and it was evident that the Senate was unanimous in favor of the bill itself. He had been authorized by the Appropriation Com mittee to offer an amendment in the nature of 8 substitute for the preamble. The amend ment was read. It provides that nothing in this act shall be construed as notification of the unlawful act of any officer of the United States, the amendment to insert the words tor increase of trips' in the clause, so as to read ssduring the remainder of the current fiscal year no further expediting of the ser vice or increase of trips on any postal star routes shall be made" The yeas and nays were called.
 Pending discussion of this amendment, the Senate, on motion of MT. Wallace, at 5:45 adjourned.
 HoUsE-On motion of Fernando Wood session was ordered Saturday for debate only on the funding bill.
 The House went into committee on the de- fciency bill MT. Hawley objected to what he called thumb-screw legislation as applied to independent legislation on the appropriation bills. The main part of the debate was on the deficiency for printing. Messrs. Hawley and Cannon, of Illinois, defended the public printer, while Messrs Singleton of MisGissip- pi, Wilson of West Virginia, and Cobb of h. diana, argued that there had been mismanage- ment in the Government printing office and there should be change.
 Without reaching conclusion the House adjourned.
