The most gratifying reports of the condition
of the wheat and oat crops reach us from all
sections of the county. With no untoward
occurrence to the growing crops of small grain,
the harvest will be unprecedented since 1S46.
The indications are that there will be heavy
crop of fruit. Cotton is reported generally as
coming up well and good stands have been
obtained. Corn is also showing well.

THE CHURCH AND THE TURF.-A Louis
Vile (Ky.) dispatch says the congregation at
the Christian Church in that city was much
surprised Sunday night when Rev. Dr. Yam
cey, the pastor, introduced General Abe Bu-
ford with tile remark that the old turfman
would deliver short address in lieu Of the
evening DISCOURSE General Buford had some
thing to say in regard to the church and the
turf. The drift of his argument was that
church members could cOnscientiously visit
the races. General Buford's position, as sum-
med up, is just this The race horse is too i'm
portant factor in the commercial prosperity
of Kentucky, a State which is World-famouS
for it's blooded stock, to be ignored by the re-
ligious element because Of the mismanagement
of some of the race tracks and because some
people bet on the races. The church mustnot
drive men away because they believe in horse
racing as necessary to improvement OF the
breed. but should rather strive to have the
evils now connected with the sport remedied.
The General said that there were some evils
which existed on Eastern courses which do not
exist in Kentucky, and in his remarks ne paid
compliment to the Louisville Jockey Club
for it's benevolence in donating large sum OF
money to the yellow fever sufferers.

explosion, died at the residence of MIR. Joseph

The body of Miss Matte Henry was found
on Wednesday about 100 yards from the place
where the explosion occurred, and that of her
sister Mamie was found yesterday. The

STATE SUPREME COURT.

On the 2nd instant, Mr.. w. P. Good, Of
York, was, on motion of Mr.. w. B. Wilson,
admitted, sworn and enrolled as an attorney
of the Supreme Court.
The docket of the Sixth Circuit was called,
and argument heard on the following case
from York: r. B. Kennedy, administrator,
vs.. s. r. Moore, executor. Mr.. Good was
heard for appellant. Mr.. w. B. Wilson for
respondent. Mr.. Good in reply.
The following case from York was heard on
Thursday Joseph F. Wallace, administrator,
ct al. VS.. Mary Campbell ct al. Mr.. Spencer
was heard for appellant Mr.. Wilson for re-
spondent Mr.. Spencer in reply.
On Friday, the case of the National Bank
of Chester vs. l. L. Clubhouse was heard. In
the argument of this case, as reported for the
Ne,cs and Courier, a very nice legal question
involving large commercial interests, which
has never been specifically settled in this State,
was discussed. This is a case for the fore
closure of mortgage for fifteen thousand dol
lars, given by Clubhouse & Co., to the Bank of
Chester, in July, 1876. In November, 1876,
Clubhouse gave a second mortgage for ten
thousand dollars to Strauss Brothers, of Balti-
more.
The main question in law is whether Sec
ond mortgage, of which the first mortgagee
had notice, is not entitled to preference over
the first mortgage as against all debts which
may be advanced after notice of the second
mortgage has been given, and whether factors
and other persons furnishing supplies on a
mortgage after second mortgage has been
put on the same property do not become hold
ers of a second lien as against the second mort
gage. In the case on trial the second mort
gage alleges that advancements were made
on the first mortgage after notice to the Bank
of Chester of the existence of second mort
gage, and claims that as against all such adj
vancements the second mortgage was a prior
lien.
In the Circuit Court Judge PRESLEY decided
against this position and the case is now be-
fore the Supreme Court on appeal. Judge
Magrath and Major S. P. Hamilton appeared
for the appellants, and Mr.. j. j. Hemphill fol
the respondents.
Judge Aldrich was appointed by the Gov
ernor to sit on the Supreme Bench in the tria!

Official statements show, says the
Chicago mining Review" that during
the week ending October 81, standard
silver dollars 70 the amount of 1900
were put in circulation, while during the
corresponding period last year but 464, :
497 were issued, which is an improve
ment to the amount of S4S9, SOB, or more
than fifty per cent. The fact that the
necessity of our people forces silver into
use as currency in the face of the hostile
opposition by the Treasury Department,
backed by strong force of Eastern and
foreign capitalists, is conclusive proof of
the absurdity of the discriminating
legislation, which Injuries the industries
of the whole country, to fill the over
flowing Golfers of few. These facts in
dictate the falsity of the charge that the
people will not use silver as currency,
and show the rising wave of enlightened
public opinion, which will protest in the
most emphatic manner, against the
Government injaring itself to feed a YAM
pire brood which it has warmed in its
bosom.

Island is beginning to bs the subject Of
conversation among miners interested in
developing the Takon quartz lodges, and
will probablyDbe much more talked shout
in the near future than now. 1t is a
sort of pier shaped island, some twenty
five miles in length and FIVE or six in
breadth at its widest part. The surface
is irregular. rising at Its highest
altitute to about 200 feet. Its position
is less than 100 miles directly north of
the town of Sitka, is about latitude SO
north and longitude 1876 west. The
main land of Takon is about mile and
half distant, and the so-called placer
disginga of Douglas Island are really
leads of decomposed quartz, which lie
near the surface under the subsoil and
brush. Beneath this decomposed
material quartz lodges are found. The
top stratum is easily washed through the
sluices and is very rich. Other islands
in the neighborhood, which present sim
liar characteristics, are believed to hold
gold under the same conditions as the
placers. The miners cannot work their
iodes until others have exhausted their
claims.

Tardy PREPARATION has at length been
made to the memory Of a MORALLY
wronged German woman whose name has
been unjustly held up to public scorn
and contumely in the place of her birth
for more than two centuries and half.
In the year 1917 the city of Tanger-
muende was destroyed by fire, and two
years later several persons were tried,
condemned and executed at Brandenburg
for acts Of incendiarism, alleged to have
caused the calamity in question. Among
those who suffered was Crete Minden,
the daughter Of Tangermuende patri-
clan. She was stripped and chained to a
tall post in the market place. The five
fingers Of her right hand were torn off
with red.hot pincers. Her arms and
breasts were deeply scared with glowing
irons. Finally she was burned to death
slowly. From first to last her martyr.
dom lasted nearly an hour.
Ever since that time a so.called econ.

This discourse describes Crete Minden as

mankind, who burned down her native
town to revenge herself upon the mum.

by the eminent novelist Theodore Fon-

THE ELECTION.

The election throughout the land last
Tuesday has chopped around consider.
ably. In Nevada the Democrats have
elected Cassidy to Congress, Adams as
Governor and Merrill Attorney General,
while the Republicans have probably
elected the balance Of the State ticket.
California has gone Democratic, and the
Republicans elect Page to Congress, the
only one. Cleveland has been elected
Governor of the Empire State by large
majority, which was foregone thing
long before the election. Malone claims
that he is chief of Virginia by about %, :
600 majority, and Massachusetts, has
elected Ben Butler to fill the executive
chair in its domain. In New Hampshire
things are considerably mixed, and it is
hard telling whether the black or white
cat will secure the political milk in the
Governors mansion. Connecticut is
very close, and also Delaware, the
majority of the winner will be numbered
by hundreds only, yet the returns in
Delaware, so far as heard from, indicate
Democratic Governor and a Republican
Legislature. Rhode Island has elected
both Republican Congressman. Kansas,
of course, gives everything to the Re-
publicans. Robson, of New Jersey, is
defeated for Congress, and his own ward
gave eighteen majority for him to stay at
home. The chairman of the State Cen.
trail Comittee of Illinois has received
private advices from all parts of the
State, which justifies him in saying that
the Republicans have carried the State
and Legislature, and will hold their own
on Congressman, with possible gain of
one. The latest election news received |
by the RECORD shows that Cleveland |
has been elected in New York by from
30, 900 to 100, 900 majority. Beaver has
been defeated as Clerk of the Supreme
Court in Pennsylvania by 10000. This
is severe rebuks to the Cameron ring. |
In Connecticut the Republicans elect one
Congressman. Very little news has been
received from the South News from
abroad indicates great Democratic vic.
tories. The Republicans have done we'll
