Engineer MeIYiIIe,s Wife.

PHILADELPHIA, September Is.
Mrs. Henrietta b. Melville, wife of Engineer
George w. Melville, was taken from her homo
at Sharon Hill to the State Asylum for the In
sane at NorristoWn, to-day. The certificate
upon which she was deprived of her liberty
was signed Sunday by DIR. NJ. Fisher Long
streth, of Sharon Hill, and DIR. Samuel P.
BarthsOn, of Clifton. The former has long
been her medical attendant. The certificate
sets forth that the examiners are convinced
from examination that Mrs. Melville is not OF
sound mind; that she was brought to that con-
dition through alcoholism, and that she was
the proper person to receive treatment at an
asylum for the insane. The parting between
mother and children was most affecting.
After making all necessary provisions for
the comfort of his wife Mr.. Melville returned
to this city, whence he sent the chfldrep homo
early this evening under the escort of two of
his friends. He took the 1880 D. m. train for
home. Prior to his departure reporter called
upon him to obtain his story of the facts con-
nected with this distressing affair. He said:
N y wife's insanity has manifested itself oc-
casiOnally ever since our marriage, but has
become more violent of late. have heard of
her drawing q toy wagon along the street and
asking passers-by to look at the new baby that
was to be surprise to George chats y upon
his return, when there was not even a rag
baby in the wagon; still, her halIucina
tions were generally harmless, I felt no
fear of her doing anything violent. would
rather have had nothing said publicly of this
sad affair, but since it has got into the news
papers want the true facts to be set forth.
One OF the members of her family died in an
asylum for the insane. Another is simple
and a third passed several years in confne-
ment because of insanity. Her story, which 1
read this morning. was the raving of de-
mented mind, but, like many insane persons,
she possessed the faculty of speaking very
sensibly and coherently, even with her mind
unbalanced, so that I cannot say that the
writer of the article had any intention of do
ing me harm. His mistake was one of judg-
ment, and not of intention. He did not know
that he was talking to crazy woman. Many
of my friends know of the troubles have
experienced IN my domestic life, bnt none
know them ALL"
With regard to the story as to the troubles
about money, Chief Engineer Able, an init
mate friend, said: According to the regIlIa-
lions of the navy, officer at sea can only
allow his wife one-half of his salary. This Mr..
Melville did, giving her $50 month. Besides
this, he owned the house, which was we'll fur

three years. paid the taxes and the school ex-

WRECK OF THE ASIA.
OF One Hundred People on Board Only
Two known to Have Escaped.


CoLLINGwooD, CAM September II.
d. A. Thinks and Christie Ann Morrison,
supposed to be the only survivors of the
wreck OF the steamer Asia, arrived here.
Thinks reports that he boarded the Asia near
Owen Sound, in company with j. II. Thinks
and H. B. Gallagher, of Mantou. The steam
er was crowded. All the state-rooms were
fun, and many passengers were lying on sofas
and on the cabin floor. About eleven o'clock
Thursday morning storm struck the vessel.
j. H. Thinks jumped up, and said the boat was
doomed. Dishes and chairs were flying in ev-
cry direction. They left the cabin, and found
difficulty in staying on deck because the boat
was rolling so heavily. Thinks got life-pre-
server, and put it on. The boat fell into the
trough of the sea, and would not obey the
helm. She rolled heavily for about twenty
minutes, when she was struck by heavy sea,
and foundered, and went down with the en-
gines working, about IL 80 o'clock. The Asia
was making for French River and had men,
horses, and lumbermen's supplies for the
shanteS. Thinks saw three boats loaded and
was in the first boat. About eight men were
with him. At first, more got in until the boat
was overloaded and turned over twice. People
chung TO his life preserver which was displaced
and he threw it off. He then left the boat and
swan to the Captains boat, which was near,
and asked John McDougall, purser, to help
him in. He said it was but little use, but
gave him his hand. When he got in there
were eighteen in the boat. By that time there
was large number ciinging to the boat
he had left He knows nothing of the third
boat. The boat he was in rolled over and no
missed McDougall. People were hanging on
to spars and other pieces of the wreck. The
Captains boat was full of water, and a sea
constantly breaking over it. One of the first
to die on the boat was the cabin boy. He was
dying, and being supported by one of the men,
when wave washed him overheard. The
next to go was boat hand who jumped out.
He could be seen padding around in the water
form early one hundred yards The number
was reduced to seven five of whom died be-
fore reaching the beach. Captain Savage, who
was the last, died in Thinks arms about mid
night, Thursday. John Little, of Sault Ste.
Marie, Mate Mcdonald and two others, whose
names are unknown, also died.
The boat finally stranded near Point au Bar
rie about daylight Friday, with Miss Morrison
and Mr.. Thinks the only ones surviving. Thinks
put the bodies Odt on the beach and pried the
boat of with an oar, but did not bale it out.
to the derrick, about two miles distant, and
laid on the beach all nigh About eight clock
Saturday morning an Indian came along and
was engaged to bring the two to Parry Sound.
He would not bring the bodies. The steamer
Northern Belle, of the same line, which
reached here this morning, has been furnished
with ice and collins and has gone for the bodies.
There were probably about one hundred per-
sons on board the Asia.

KANSAS STATE NEWS.
Enormous Yield of Agricultural Product.

Enormous Yield Of Agricultural Products.
A Wichita correspondent of the St.
Louis Globe Democrat says Kansas is now
passing through the most prosperous period
Of her existence. Good wheat and corn
crops are the rule in the Arkansas Valley.
and in fact all sections of the State. II the
present prices OF agricultural products con-
tinue, Kansas as a State will enter upon 8
period Of HneXampled prosperity. While
corn and wheat are the two great staple
crops this year, all other crops have been
equally good. Corn buyers are in Wichita
and the surrounding country markets maxi
ing contracts for corn at 80 cents per bushel,
the same to be delivered at any time during
the next six months. There are in Kansas
this year, upon very careful estimate,
4,452,261 acres planted In corn. OF this
amount the five great corn counties
of Kansas-namely, Sedgwick, Sum-
ner, CowleY, Harper and Kingman Coun
ties-have large proportion, and out of the
150,OOO,OO0 bushels produced in the entire
State the above named counties will pro-
duce 10000 bushels, and this after MAX
ing all due allowances for the short crop
occasioned by the drought in the extreme
western portion of the State. The corn crop
of Kansas, then, is no inconsiderable item
when reckoned up and figured at SIS ,0O0,-
900, and $4,000, 900 in hard cash for the crop
produced in the five great corn counties
Aside from the corn crop, the wheat crop of
1882 over the State at large aggregated fully
100000 bushels, and at present ruling
prices brings into the State more than $2s, :
100000. OF this fine crop the Arkansas
Valley counties had their full share Kan
sas had an oat crop this year amounting to
522,796 acres, averaging at least forty bush
els per acre, or an aggregate of more
than 10000, 900 bushels. Minor crops
are in proportion, but the aver
age is best in the Arkansas Valley, where
the rainfall is sufficient, the soil is deep and
easily worked. The State Board of Agri-
culture, in the late report, made a most ex-
cellent showing, and the crops will increase
each year as the cultivated area grows lar
ger. But, to carefully summarize the sta
tistics of the board, the products of the
State, even under low estimate, sum up
as follows:
