We insisted, during the protractsd
drought, that its area was local not
general; that although the potato crop
10 South Jersey was short, good crops
we're growing elsewhere, and so with
many other things. Speculation has
been OF the bottom Of most of the
alarm created, and the sueceedent
high prices have been promoted by
them to their profit. We have not Is
much wheat TO send abroad as In some
years past, but there is still large
surplus after ample allowance hss

Coal cannot go any higher, for the

There is not the same opportunity to

1t was examined by the jurors, whose
attention was called to the fact that
two barrels were empty and four
loaded.
Officer Kearney, the policeman who
arrested Guiteau, swore that he aud
not Parke, the ticket agent, was en-
titled to the distinction of having first
seized the assassin after the shooting.
This discrepancy is doubtless of more
consequence to the two witnesses COZ
cerned than to either the prosecu-
ton or the defence, but officer Kesr-
ney has the advantage of being cor
roborated by Guitesu, who interrupt
ed the proceedings by declaring that
the officer "came nearer the truth
than any Of them" Several other
witnesses were examined as to what
occurred at the depot on the morning
of the shooting, including the back
man whom Guiteau wanted to engage
to drive him to the cemetery. Chief
Clerk Brown testified to Guiteau's
visits and manner at the State De-
partment and j. Stanley Brown to
his frequent calls at the White House.
The latter also identified number OF
letters written by Guiteau to Pres
idsnt Garfield. No material change
in the evidence given on direct ex-
animation was effected by Mr.. Scoville
on cross-examination. Mr.. Scoville
gave notice that the defence will be
insanity, and claimed that the burden
of proof is on the prosecution, and
that they must introduce evidence on
this point before closing their case
The counsel for the prosecution took
different view of the question. The
popular interest in the trial is still on
the increase.
