Murdcrers 10 be Hanged.

Warrants were issued by the governor Of
Pennsylvania yesterday for the execution
of Emanuel Ettinger, Jonathan Meyer and
Israel Erb on Friday, December 10, 1881.
These men were concerned in tho murder,
on December 8, 1877, of John and Gretchen
Kintzler, his wife, who were surprised in
their habitation, an old log house, in Sny-
der County, and dubbed to DEATH After
the commission of the crime the murderers
divided the money secured, said to have
amounted to about $4,000, and set fire to
the house and burned up the corpscs. Soon
after the murder young woman who had
accompanied the murderers to the scene of
the tragedy and witnessed q portion of it,
made confession duplicating Ettinger and
Erb. These men were tried, but acquitted
because the woman's testimony was not
corroborated. Subsequently Ettinger and
Erb, thinking they were safe from further
molestation, admitted their connection with
the crime. They were tried last year. and
on overwhelming evidence convicted. JON
athan Meyer was also convicted, the prin-
cipal witness against him being girl to
whom he had confessed the crime soon after
its commission. Umrich Meyer, one of the
alleged murderers, escaped to the West.

The Western Crnns.

A recent estimate fixes the wheat product
of 1881 at 36S,962, 900 bushels, sub-divided
locally as follows: Western States, 2iS, 137,-
900 bushels; Pacific coast, 80, 1926 900 bushels;
Colorado and the Territories Il, 900, 00O!bush-
els; New England, 100000 bushels; Middle
States, 3i,500,000 bushels; Southern States,
100000 bushels; total, 1868, 1862 900 bush
els. This estimate makes the product of the
Western States, during 1881, 05,433, 900
bushels less than it was last year. The corn
crop of the Western States in 1881 is now
estimated at 9,2l1 900 bushels, against a
product in the same States in 1880 of $780,
$4,000 bushels; and tho corn crop of the
whole country is estimated at 1854 900
bushels, n decline Of about one.third ON the
expected yield 1t would not be surprising
if this estimate of the corn crop should ex-
coed the actual product, but it seems to be
generally conceded that tho shortage is not
as great as was ut one time feared, and the
general outlook at present. In reference to
the corn crop, is better now than il appeared
few weeks ago.

1t Is well known that Miss Anderson ia

that when she goes upun tho stage she
sticks her chew Of gum on an did tastls
painted on the scenery. There was n wicked
young man playing minor part in the
play who had been treated scornfully by
Mary, as he thought, and he had been heard
to say he would make her sick. He did
He took her chew of gum and spread IL out
so it was as thin as paper, then placed u
chew OF tobacco inside, neatly wrapped It
up, and stuck it back on the old castle,
Mary came off when the curtain went
down, and going UP to the castle she bit
like bass. Putting the gun, which she
had no idea was loaded, into her mouth
she mashed it between her worries and
rolled 1t rs sweet morsel under her
tongue It is said by those who happened
to lie behind the scenes that when the
tobacco began to get In its work there was
the worst transformation scene that ever
appeared on the stage. The air, one supo
said, seemed to be full of fine cut tobacco
and spruce gum, and Mary stood there and
leaned against o painted rock, picture of
inconsistencies. She was pale about the gills,
and trembled like an aspen leaf shaken by
the wind. She was calm as summers

worm in an apple, gnawed at her stomach
and tore her corset strings, she did not up

Bogus Coin In Prize Packages.

The Secret Service Division of the Treas
ury Department recently ascertained that
an establishment in Connecticut was en-
gagged in manufacturing paper or pasteboard
imitation nickles, ten.cent silver-pieces,
quarter dollars and other minor coins.
These limitations were extensively circu-
lated through the medium ofprzc packages
of various descriptions, and complaints were
received from Western cities that the
spurious money was being passed to u great
extent on street railroad cars using patent
boxes. Chief Brooks ordered an investiga-
ton, and has just been informed by Detec-
tive Drummond that the manufacturers
were conducting the business in an limo
cent manner, and were not aware that they
were violating the laws. They unhesitat-
ingly gave up tho materials used, and
promised to discontinue the business.

Why Gen. Butler Can't Defend
linilenI.

Guiteau.
| Con. b. Il. Butler has written the follow
ing letter to Mr.. Scoville. giving his reasons
why he cannot defend Guiteau:
Boston, MASS, Oct. 10, 1881.
DEAR SIR: have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt Of your letter of the 10th
instant. which did not come to my hands
until after had made answer to u news
paper correspondent about the case of
Guiteau, containing the following stirring
appeal on your part: " l appeal to you for
the sake of justice, and to save the Ameri-
can people the disgrace of q historic record
that n sane citizen of the republic would
assassinate the President, to accept the
defense of Guiteau. Will you not act if
assigned as counsel by the c0urt?" have
waited before l answered your letter to sec
what time would be assigned for the trial
by the court, so as to ascertain if my pro-
fessional engagements would permit
me even to entertain your request. l see
by the newspapers, which suppose are cor
rect, that the trial is peremptorily set for No
vember proximo. If the trial was set for
time when / could possibly devote myself
to this case | should very carefully weigh
your application before l refused it. hold
it to DO part of the chivalry of my pro-
fession that no lawyer within the circuit
where he practices ought, without good
cause, to refuse to stand for man whose
life is in danger before court of justice,
whether his personal belief might be that
the accused was innocent or guilty and,
of course, the amount of compensation in
the case ought not to become n make
weight in the question. The admirable ex-
ample set by Otis, one of the "Sons of
Liberty" in face Of popular prejudice, de-
Tending the Kings officers for shooting
down the citizens of Boston, in King street
now State street, has been the rule of
my professional life, and ought to be
the guide of every lawyer. The considera-
tions which move me in declining this trial
are that IL of necessity would be prolonged
one, that every hour from now to the day
of trial should be given by counsel to the
preparation of the questions of law and fact,
in order that his action might not be
snare to the accused instead of q defense.
My professional engagements, which make
my time and services for the next ninety
days, ut least, the property of my clients
who have placed their interests in my
hands, causes my duty as a lawyer to be,
first ofall, to serve them. During most of
that time shall be actually in court, if life
and health ate spared. This view of my
duty as lawyer and advocate pro-
hibits my yielding to your application
and giving you a favorable reply. Trusting
that you will appreciate as fully as they
weigh upon me the necessities which forbid
any different answer to your note, i am, very
truly, yours, BENJAMIN +. BUTLER.

The Christiancy Case.

There were two sessions in the Chrstiancy
case yesterday, and Mrs. Christiancy was
subjected to rigid cross examination, from
ten o'clock till four in the afternoon, when
recess was taken till eight o'clock in the
evening. The result Of the days work was
of the most unsatisfactory kind, nothing
new or sensational being developed. The
letters written by her to her husband
formed tho basis of the examination, and a
number were read, the tenor of which re.
ferred to the general unhappiness of her
married life. She persisted in declaring the
Giro letters forgeries and after quite a
passionate outbust her discrimination

tients, of whom Sol were males and 2O6
females. There were admitted during the
year ended June 30, 1881, 1120 patients,

Some of the facts in regard to the salmon
business on the Pacific coast arc very re-
markable. The census has already given
us about the total number of fish caught
there in 1850, but now we have this years
practical results in canned salmon. So far
there has been shipped to Liverpool alone
from the Columbia River, taken direct by
vessels, 2S6,66O cases, each case containing
AZ pounds Of salmon. Over one-half of the
whole salmon catch goes to Liverpool from
the Columbia; another portion Is sent to
San Francisco for inland distribution. This
quantity is estimated ut IL, 1873 cases. There
are ships still to be loaded with salmon
from Astoria, so that altogether, according
to the San Francisco BMletin, the total
catch on tho Columbia River alone this
season will be about $4,000 cases. But this
business of canning salmon does not belong
exclusively to the Columbia there are
many other rivers now having canneries.
This year the Sacramento River puts up
100000 cases; the Fraser River, 100000
Skeena, Mas and Klawat Rivers, $4,000 /;
Puget Sound, 5000; Umpqua River, Ia 900
Smith River, 6,000, and Eel River, 1000
cases, or altogether there are very close on
to a million cases put up on the Pacific
coast. Actually, by count, 4S,000000 pounds
Will be shipped. The question is; Will
this upuuuance OF salmon contlnueI 1t is
natural to suppose that in time, when the
rivers are more disturbed, fish will diminish;
but in the Columbia River, although the
quantity of salmon taken has been immense,
the decrease of fish has not been percepti-

bia are by no means without fears that the
salmon may not lessen in quantity, and,
being wise men, have listened to fish.
culture Among themselves they have for
tho last three years been putting in young
salmon at the headwaters of the river in
order to make up for the taking of adult
fish at the mouth. AS to the rivers abound
ing in salmon on the Pacific coast, we hardly
think that half their richness has been
told, In time TO come this canning bust
ness will take wider scope and this will
necesstate the discovery of other salmon
rivers, where canneries can be established,

Closing Proceedings of the Local
Preachers Convention.

Yesterday, after our report closed, the
convention of local preachers was addressed
by Mr.. Hollis on the subject Of establishing
mission chapels in populous districts, and

Cemetery, Cambridge, Mass, with a view
to placing suitable inscription upon the
Embury monument erected in memory of
the late Rev. A. Mooney. The secretary

convention, the conditions of membership
and the necessity for delegates to be pro-
vided with proper credentials. Mr.. w. II.
