The North Carolina Excursion.

Yesterday was the first day of the ex-
cursion which is given by Knoxville mer-
chants to the merchants of Western North
Carolina, the same to continue for one
month, during which time the mer-
chants, who are supplied with free trans
portation and entertainment at the
hotels will visit Knoxville at their con-
vepience. 1t was hardly expected that there
would be many of the merchants here on
the first day. Preparations were made for
them, however. Most of the houses along
Gay street were decorated with flags, and
everything was done to give the city an air
of welcome and good will to the representa-
tive men from our neighboring State.
The reception committee of the day, con-
sisting of DIR. r. NJ. Rhea, Col W. B.
Lockett and Messrs. S. B. Luttrell and j.
L. McTeer, were on hands, with their
badges, at the IL o'clock train, and again at
the freight last night, ready and
anxious to escort the first ar
rival of merchants to quarters, and
PioPeiiy onleIldlH tHeHl. Inc committee
certainly did their part well and faithfully,
and were disappointed in having no guests
to entertain. 1t was expected that some of
them might arrive on the o'clock train
this morning, and a detail of the committee
was expected to be On hands then also.
The reception committee for the rest of
the week will be as follows: For to-day, W.
E. Gibbins, W. P Chamberlain, J. O..

A persistent and continued ringing of the
courthouse bell drew mixed crowd last
night, to hear talk from Elder Nickerson,
colored, of Chattanooga, on the merits of

CHICAGO. Aug. IA few weeks ago
two Swedes named Helding and Robinson,
were arrested in this city on a trivial
charge, aad they confessed to having muir
dered woman named Sophia Dalberg, in
Stockholm, seven years ago. The story
was not fully believed, but the men were
held, pending investigation. The Swedish
consul here has received report from the
Chamber of Police of Stockholm, corrob
Grating the statements of the prisoners as
to the circumstances surrounding the muir
der. Another circumstance which leads
to the probability of the story is the fact
that Helding recognized the picture of a
woman, Emile Heilberg. who, he says,
paid for having the murder committed.
PRINCETON, H., Aug. 1.-Two suicides

Welton, a prominent railroad man and au-
dltor of the Des Moinas 81 FIT. Dodge rail
way, blew his brains out while an officer
was reading warrant for his arrest on
charge of bigamy. Last April he married
here Miss Eva Gross, daughter of a
wealthy farmer. The allegation is that he
had wife and child in Brooklyn. Ru
mors are af1oat that he had five or six wives

tolls two pocket books and some money
were taken. the tracks of two men by a

they were hired to do the deed. They have
been followed down the river by detec-
tives, a distance of forty miles.

IMMENSE CORN AND WHEAT CROPS.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-An intelligent gen
tleman connected with the Kansas City
press, who has obtained official and other
information relative to the corn and wheat
crops in Kansas and Missouri, was in the
city to-day and said the latest information
obtained through the agricultural depart
ment of Kansas, shows that the extraor-
dinary weight and quality of the wheat
grain has increased the yield beyond for
mer calculations. 1t is now 35, ,O0O, 900
bushels. The corn show is even better
1t will yield 10000, 900 bushels. Mis-
souri, shows 30, 900, 600 bushels of wheat
and will lead all of the states on corn. The
most reliable estimate places the corn
crop at $50, 100000 bushels. Thus the
two states, Kansas and Missouri, help to
make up the deficit of Iowa and Illinois in
corn by supplying 440, 600, 600 bushels.
