A WOMAN OK TRIAL FoR MURDER
The trial of Mrs. Elizbabsth Coleman
for killing George I. Coles in July last,
is now in progress In New York. The
accused is the wife OF captain Of sea
going vessel, and the mother OF i've
living children, one q baby thirteen
months old. Since her Imprisonment,
July Goth, the unhappy mother had not
seen her children; and dramatic scene
occurred on Wednesday, when the lit
tie ones were brought into the Court
room. When her eyes fell upon the
little group advancing toward her, she
uttered shrek that rang through the
room, rose from her seat and ran to-
ward the children crying: 20 my God,
my God my babies, my bsbiesr IL
was a sort Of wall thst died away In
convulsive sobs, as she went down on
her knees before the children and
clasped them to her. The little ones
wer, strangely puzzled, and looked .
bout wonderingly from their mothers
tear stained face to the impsssive coun-
tenances of the officers who had hur-
ried forward TO restrain her. Geo. T.
Coles, the man killed, was one Of tho
treasurers OF the miners Theatre, where
Mrs. Coleman met i'm when she went
there, in company with Miss Mclean.
He asked the latter TO have some oys-
ters, and she consenting, Mrs Coleman
went with them. She told Coles then
that she was married woman and the
mother OF five children; that her hus
band was sea captain. He then in-
dicated that as she was q single woman
he would like TO call Did call several
times. Came one Sunday evening and
asked to take Miss Mclean to . ssored
concert; she was out Finally prevailed
on Mrs. Coleman to 60 with him. Took
her to saloon and gave her drugged
beer. She felt sick afterwards and was
compelled 10 go out OF the theatre;
very dizzy and faint, did not know
where she was going. Coles took her to
a hotel on Third avenue, but she did not
know what il was. Lost consciousness
entirely uutil four o'clock next morning,
then went home. Coles used power over
her, made her give him $50, and kept
her out several nights. When her hns-
band came home he became suspicious
and went 10 Coles, who told him oil ex-
cept about the money. Captain Cole
man commenced proceedings tor divorce
and custody for the children; too much
for Mrs. Colemans already overstrained
mind, she becomes insane and does not
remember anything else until she ID
locked up for murder.

VIRGrNIA's New GovERNoR.-Tbe
new governor of Virginia, Col. VIM.
4. Cameron, took his oath Of Office yes
terday and entered upon the discharge
Of his duties. He is young man OF
decided ability, has distinguished him
self as writer both in the fields Of pol
itics and literature, and is besides an or
ator of distinction. In his late snima-
ted contest with Maj. John w. Daniel
he displayed ready eloquenoe. In
short Gov. Cameron goes into Office
with the most favorable prospects Of
a successful career. He will introduce
at least one new feature--or rather re.
vive an old one-in the governors
mansion; for a lady will preside over
its household and dispense a gener
GUS hospitality. For eigbt-nay near
ly twelve years-there has been no fire
side angel in the governors mansion,
the windows and doors of the venerable
old ediice have been closed 10 all lady
visitors or genial receptions, and the
prattle of children has not been heard
there Col. Cameron comes in with
most accomplished wife and lively fami-
ly of interesting children, and for at
least the next four years good cheer
and old-fashioned Virginia hospitality
will prevail at the governors mansion,
to the great relief and delight Of the
people whose families have long been
denied such pleasant distinction.
In politics Mr.. Cameron is a Demo
crat of the old school, and until the
Reaijuster split took place always act
ed with that party. He carries with
him into his new position the respect of
all classes Of the people, and il Is conf
IDENTIFY expected by his friends that his
administration will be alike brilliant
aud successful.

TIE FARMING WE NEED.-A cores.
pondent Of the Germantown Telegraph
says: The time has come when nothing
but high farming will pay In this sec
tion Of country, since the cheap aud
fertile lands Of the West are brought in
to such close and sharp competitions by
cheap freigbts and rapid transit. Old
habits which are not now paying must
be abandoned, and newer and better
paying ones adopted. Every acre Of
tillable land must be made C yield its
treasure with the least possible expenss.
When one hundred bushels Of corn per
acre can be produced, we must not be
satisfied with 6fty bushels. II . new
implement can do the work Of two men
with an old one, the old one should DO
laid away and the new one used. II

possible 10 enrich 1t. The expense Of
farming poor land ia greater than that
attending richer land, and the labor

more general attention given to dairy
products, the cultivation OF small fruits
and raising Of poultry. The old sys,em
of pasturage will have to give way be-
fore the onward march Of soiling and
the Don-fenciDg system. The road mas

we may add that the time has arrived,
even in our neighboring counties, where
more systematic method and higher fsr-
ming are expedient in order to produce
satisfactory results. On our best bot

he could experience benefit By hesding

made last year in 26 states and ter

the metal for the first time. The
North Carolina furnaces also pro-
duced pig iron for the first time since
1877. The largest increase in tons
was in Pennsylvania, which pro-
dnced lo7 ,655 net tons more than in
1880. Nearly all of this increase
was in Allegheny county. But the
largest percentage of increase was
i'll Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Ten
nessee, Illinois. Michigan, Connect
cut, Minnesota, and Oregon-the last
two states, of course, producing but
little pig iron in either year. OF 7Ol
furnaces in the United States on D.
cember 81, 1880, there were 446 in
blast and 225 out of blast; OF ZIG
furnaces OH December 81, 1881, there
were 70 III DIAM anu ZOS OUT OF
blast. The stocks of pig iron unsold
in the hands of makers or their gents
on the 3lst of December, 1881,
amounted to 2lo,6e6 net tons against
45e,65s tons at the close of 1879.
In 1881 there were built 25 new
furnaces in the United States. The
building of 23 other furnaces was be-
gun but not completed. In the same
year IL furnaces were abandoned.
During the year the probable con-
sumption was 4,9s2,5 gross tons,
an increase oi about 100000 gross
tons. About one third of this i'll

Wheat Markets.

The Journal Of Commerce says.
San Francisco will, within two or
three years at most, have to handle
sixty million bushels of wheat yearly.
where it had previously to handle
not more than sixteen at the greatest
and where last year it had only
about thirly-six million bushels TO
dispose Of. There will be jump
from last years figures Of over co.
100000 bushels. And it will not
stop here, for with the spread Of cul.
tiva,ion the product will increase
year by year, how fast, it would
hardly be safe to set a limit TO-, con-
sidering what has been done in that
way In the past, From 1874 to $780,
that is in six years, it doubled; it also
doubled in the preceding years.
Suppose it takes the longer period
TO double. the wheat crop Of the
State would be 100000 bushels
in 1888, or six years hence; let it take
ten years, and it would have reach
ed that Fl cure in 1890. The wheat
crop Of the coast, which San Fran
cisco would have to handle, would
be in the same syear probably lso,-
900, 900 bushels. OF this not more
than 2o,oo0,ooo bushels could be-
consumed OH the coast, SO that there
would he llo,Ooo,oOo bushels to get
rid of by export, Or about 7o,ooo,ooo
bushels more than California and
Oregon shipped in 1850. This is
equal to from a to 8 per cent of the
total wheat crop'of the world to-day.
The importing countries of the
world may be named as Great Brit.
ain, France, Holland, Belgium,
Austria, Hungary, Italy and some
times Spain. Sometimes France
furnishes enough Tor her own con-
sumption-most usually she does
not. In ordinary years this needs
of all these countries are 235 100000
bushels that is about double the sup
posed increase.
Provided, therefore, that the
demands OF these countries and the
production Of the other exporting
countries remained lie same, the
Pacific Coast would have to push the
latter out Of the market to this extent
--somethlng it could not well do.
The case would not, however, be az
supposed; the consuming population
would increase. u does increase in
Europe, probably at the rate Of a
million annually; that would give in
ten years, ten millions taking 4o,ooo,-
900 bushels more of wheat at the
rate per head of consumption. Sup
posing the other countries to increase
production to the same amount as the
Pacific Coast, then the latter would
