SERIOUS DROUGHT.
No Rain for Two Months.

BARDsrowN, KY, August 24.-lt is
now nearly tive months since rain fell
in this vicinity. The effect OF such
drought on corn and grass may be i'm
sgined. Farmers report that rain even
yet would help late corn. Water for
domestic purposes is becoming very
scarce, and many farmers are compelled
to drive stock three or four miles to
water. The distillers throughout this
county are hesitating or undecided
whether to go into active operations or
not the coming season. The advance in
corn, the dull market for whisky and
the large quantity in bond are reasons
advanced for temporary suspension.
Some few distilleries which have made
contracts tor grain will run on in a re
duced capacity.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August 24.-Should
the present advance in corn be main.
tanned, 1t is safe to say the coming sea.
SINS product will not be over one-half
that OF the present season.

CINCINNATI SOUTHERN.
Kidding for the Lease.

CIHCINNATI, August 24.-The topic OF
absorbing interest in the vicinity to-
night has reference TO the prospective
outcome of the bidding for the lease Of
the Cincinnati Southern railway, from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga, distance OF
l25 miles. at noon to morrow. The bid
ding will be public. The trustees have
invited propositions for lease OF the
road for 25 years, the fixed rental to be
five equal per centages Of five years each.
1t is promised that the rental will in
crease each successive period after the
first one. There are several prom.
inent railroad men in the city,
among them Z. W. Cole,
known as King Cole, supposed to be in
the interest OF the connection east and
south of Chattanooga, E. .P. Alex
ander, president OF the st. Louis, Gin
cinnati and Lexington railroad, known
as the Louisville Short Line, and also
the President OF the Louisville and
Nashville, supposed to be in the inter
est OF that combination. Indeed, he has
signified his intention to bid.
f. B. Thomas, Of Columbus, is
here also in what interest is not known.
The Alaba IA and Great Southern or
Erlanger interest has no visible repren'
tative. The railroad men who are here
refuse to forshadow their purpose as q
rule. King Cole will not say anything
Alexander wants the road. The Com
mon Carrier Company, who are at pres
ent operating the road, are most reticenl
as TO their purpose. The present pros
pect is that the completion will be

The Anti-Jewish Agitation.

BERLIN, August 24.-Since the I'm.
peror has declared him great dislike to
the anti-Jewish agitation the Conserva-
tive press have begun to discuss the
question in a calmer spirit and the au.
thorities have taken all necessary steps
to prevent an outbreak OF new riots. The
movement seems ended for the present.
The Progressist press, which is mostly
under the influence Of the Jews, is very
triumphant. Several OF the Berlin stock
exchange papers continue to print very
violent articles accusing Bismarck OF
supporting the Anti-Semites. These
papers express their satisfaction in such
an offensive way that the riots in Pom
erania be sevely punished, that the Mod.
crate papers, which have not participated
in the conflict, have been obliged to
conciliate the Jews. asking them to pro.
test against the attitude assumed where
by the worse persons OF the Christians
can only be again excited and the move
ment renewed.

Correspondence OF the Register.
MARIETTA, O., August %, 1881.
The Democratic County Convention,
which was held here to-day, was very
large and harmonious. Much interest
has been taken by the various aspirants
for Office, and the result is that an un.
usually strong ticket was placed in the
field.
Hon. Henry Bohl, OF this city, receiv-
ed the nomination for Representative.
He has already served the people Of
Washington county for two terms in the
Legislature, but for the past two years
he has devoted to private business Mr..
Bohl is young and energetic
German, and will undoubtedly
be elected, as there is much dis
satisfaction felt over their candidate on
the Radical side Of the fence. For the
office OF Probate Judge, D. s. Nye was
nominated; Auditor, ]. W. Kerr; Treas.
urer, Walter Thomas; Prosecuting At.
torney, A. d. Follett. The ticket takes
we'll and old Washington county will in
all probability be redeemed by the
Democracy.
The crops in this section OF the State
are suffering greatly for want of rain.
Curnis DRYING mp pastures are burn.
ed and it is feared the potato crop VIII
be very short.
The report that the diphtheris has
reached here is wholly un.ounded. A
little con OF General Warner died with
the dread disease last week, but he was
taken sick while out OF town. No other
cases are reported. w.

troduce bill giving employers in facto.
ries share in the profits in wages when
profits amounted to more than six per
cent, but the whole subject was laid
over for the time being. A preamble
and platform was then reported. The
