Der, named Roster and McKeeYer, engaged
in an angry dispute about a trivial matter,
and al repaired 10 the herder5 quarters to
settle the difficulty. As soon as inside, the
men clinched and both fell 20 the ground
fighting desperately, their companions urg-
ing them on. The table and benches were
removed and in ring the men hit and tore
each other like tigers. While the fight was
III lis highest, the oil lamp was knocked from

men mad, ran upon each other, and in a

tinGuished the melee was general. The
door being locked and there being no means

the IeSounding blows and cures a pistol shot
rang out and the death cry of victim par.

welteriDg in their own blood, and three
others wounded, some fatally. Rollins and
Mex eever were the only ones not injured.

WASHINGTON, Sept. lt.-SeptembeE re.
turns TO the Department of Agriculture indi-
cafe q lower condition Of corn than in
August in every section of the country, and
N nearly every State. The only gains in the
West are in Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska,
where slight improvement is indicated.
Minnesota stands as in August. Arkansas
makes gain Of one point,
and Georgia and Alabama remain
as in August. But all other cot
ton States show heavy decline.
The figures are also much rednced for each
of the Middle States The corn surplus Safes
show changes es follows: Ohio, a reduction
from 50 to 50; Michigan, 6S to 60; Indiana,
- to S.; illinois, IS to So; Iowa, IS 10 50. The
increase in Missouri is from SO to 81; Kansas
80 to go: Nebraska, 81 TO 81. The decline
IN New York is from 90 to n, aud in Penn
sylvania from % to SO. The general aTera ze
condition on September ! was ST, q de-
crease OF 3 points during the last month. The
cause OF this reduction, so nearly universal,
is drought, which is reported from every
State Of the Atlantic Coat Gulf Coast and
Ohio Valley and beyond the Mississippi to
the crest of the divide between that river
and Missouri. Between Ohio and the lakes
the distribution of rain has been unequal,
and In few places in excess, while q de-
fciency is generally reported. The crop
ia nearly everywhere late, requiring one %
two weeks longer season than usual to ma
ture where Kansas and Missouri seed was
planted. In the more northern territory the
crop IS still later and caused much appre-
henson as 10 ripening, while planting was
late and the early season too wet, drought
following the avsrsgs temperature of the
summer has been low, making full crop an
impossibility.
Telegraphic communication with State
agents Cd 10 o'clock this afternoon shows
the recent foods have damaged corn north of
the fortieth parallel. The Ohio agent places
the injury in that State at 20 per cent. The
Indiana agent estimates loss OF 10

the Virtues, and smothered in orange
blossoms. The lowest portion-the cake
itself displayed the arms of Great Britain
and Prussia. placed alternately on panels
of white satin, and between each escut-
cheon was medallion of the bride and
bridegroom. encircled with bridal-wreaths
and surmouDted by an imperial CROWN
Rows of pearls bordered and paneled the
cake, and on the stand were quantity Of
baskets and vases of silver gilt, holding
artificial flowers. Another notable exam

eral design being Greek temple with
Corinthian columns and vaulted roof
At the four corners of the main portion
the edible portion-were emblematic fig-
ures of the continents, alternating with
