THE WIDESPREAD DROUGHT.
DiscOuraging Reports from all POr-
lions OF the Country.

RICHMOND, VA, September S.-From all
parts Of the State come the most discour-
aging reports OF the condition of the crops
In consequence of che protracted drought.
With some very slight exceptions the
drought has been universal in Virginia.
Corn and tobacco on the low grounds are
fairly good, but on the high land corn is a
failure, much of it being now cut for
fodder, and tobacco cannot make over half
a crop, and that of a very poor quality. The
drought has been especially severe In the
fine yellow tobacco districts.
Reports from North Carolina show that
the season along the coast has been good
for both cotton and corn. The rest of the
State has suffered dreadfully for the want of
rain. Cotton is small and shedding. High
land corn is absolutely nothing, and tobacco
poor beyond precedent. The latter crop
may reach half an average IN pounds, but
will be of an Indifferent quality.
In South Carolina the region west of Co.
lumbia is reported as having suffered most,
and parties who have traversed 1t for the
purpose Of finding how matters actually
are report that there will be no corn, and
that cotton is short COPPER cent.
From East Tennessee and West Virginia
come similar complaints in relation to the
drought, and the failure OF the corn, to-
bacco and grass crops. II rains come soon,
and there should be a good late season,
much of the cotton will come out and make
a second "top" crop. Tobacco will be
added to in growth, but, being full Of sap.
will not cure well. Nothing will now save
the highland corn.
RAwLEY SPRINGS, VA, September 81
The continued drought in the valley Of
Virginia has been succeeded in many places
by copious showers Of rain.

stocks London.

LONDON, September 3.-The Economist of
this week says: "The rate of discount for
bank bills, sixty days to three months, is
3% to 3I per cent, and for trade bills, sixty
days to three months, 81 to per cent. On
the Stock Exchange the depression of last
week has deepened in many securities, be-
sides consols. The closing quotations
are the lowest, after the fall on Saturday.
Monday and Tuesday were days of compare
tive steadiness as no gold was taken for
shipment to New York. The markets took
heart and were aided by the improvement
in the health OF President Garfield. On
Wednesday there was decided relapse,
fears being entertained of a
England's rate of discount. The foreign
bourses were also very heavy. The approach
of the Paris settlement caused a decided
pressure for money in that city. The mar
kets were steadier on Thursday, button Fri
day a considerable gold withdrawal
caused rapid fall in many securi-
les. Fixed dividend securities
and bank investments continue to
suffer much. The only favorable features
are partial rally in the American markets
and strength in Turkish bonds. American
railways, apart from the heavy fall in At
lantic and Great Western, have generally
risen. Thus Central Pacific and Wabash
preference shares are each two points
higher, Ohio and Mississippi n, and Louis
vile and Nashville, Erie preference, st.
Louis and San Francisco preferred, and
Wabash common,

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-09-05

The traffic in fraudulent divorces is
becoming every year more and more
open and shameful. A man named
James K. Spendiff, of Staten Island,
New York State, obtained a decree of
divorce IN the Circuit Courts at Pittsburg,
and the order was published in a news
paper of the same place. The victim
paid $65 75 for his decree. The lawyers
who procured the divorce for him, in
turn, obtained the decree from another
lawyer named Henry NJ. Bowman. But
the divorce itself and the decree
thereof were shams and delusiOns, and
were never obtained, and the
verdant Spendiff is but another of
the many Benedicts who, in their haste
to get rid of the partners of their bosoms,
care very little how they obtain decree
of divorce as long as it is procured. AS
MIR. Spendiff wishes TO get married again
he has looked closely into the matter and
discovered to his dismaY that he never
was legally divorced from his first matri-
mOnial venture.

line between Philadelphia and Pittsburg
Thursday, forbidling suffers to sell on
their trains, and hereafter travellers will
be spared the annoyance of the impor
tunities of the vendors of fruit, novels
and newspapers. The rule has been en-
forced for some time with satisfactory
results on the New York division of the
road. On that division news company
has agents at Trenton and New Bruins
wick, where books and papers are sold;
and now that the rule applies to the
main line, agencies will be established
along that route. Boys will be allowed
inside the depOts, but not inside the cars.
The company has adopted the rule
through a desire for the comfort of pas
sengers, and should it work satisfacto-
rily will doubtless be adopted by other
roads, for the privileges heretofore
granted to these suffers have certainly
been used to the annoyance of pasSen-
gers.

JENNIE CRAMER'S FATE.
what the Chemical Analysis Re-
veaIs - Verdict OF the COrOner's
Jury.

New HAVEN, September 3.-Professor
Chittenden's report of the analysis in the
Jennie Cramer case is as follows: "Ihave
made careful chemical examination of the
various organs from the body of Jennie
Cramer, and find that It shows considerable
quantities of arsenic.
"It is evident from these results that
arsenic is contained in all parts of the body,
and in such quantities as under ordinary
circumstances would indicate a probably
fatal dose"
The verdict o: the jury of inquest in the
Cramer case was that the said Jennie Z
Crsmer came to her death by poison and
violence, and that James Malley, Jr., is
criminallY responsible and Walter E. NAL
ley and Blanche Douglass morally RESPONSE
bic for the same"
