III. HI. Alexander Arrested.

H.. Alexander has at last been arrested
to answer for the part taken by him in the
disgraceful performance at the house of
Mrs. Annie Field on Tuesday night.
Word was sent to Police Headquarters
last evening that Alexander was in his
office at the Gunton Building awaiting ar
rest, and Captain Vernon, Sergeant Brosnan
ana an officer started to apprehend him.
The officers were admitted to the building
by the janitor, and proceeding to the third
story knocked at the Office door, and being
refused admission Captain Vernon broke
the door open.
Mr.. Alexander was found seated in
chair in drunken stupor, and
be sufficiently aroused to be taken to
Police Headquarters. Before being locked
up he was searched and two partly empty
whisky bottles found in his pockets. He
was then consigned to n cell, where he
spent the night and slept of the effects OF
his long debauch.
II. ii. Alexander was brought to the
Police Court this morning and took seat
inside the bar, whore he was seen by news
paper representatives, but he rudely and
churlishly refused to have anything to say
TO them.
Major A. c. Richards called Judge SHELLS
attention to the charges of assault with in
tent to kill, and grand larceny, which have
been preferred against Alexander, and said
that he would waive any preliminary hear
ing and let the cases go up to the higher
court.
Prosecutor Moore asked that bonds be
fixed at 81 900 in the attempt to kill case
and $500 in the elareeny case.
These figures were agreed to, and Mr, r.
E. Alexander accepted as bondsman and the

THE EVENING CRITIC.
DESERVED PUNISHMENT
Inflicted on n Country LOut For In.
sultfng Ladies'.
sTABLIsHED AUGUST lst

A general stampede was caused on B
street, between Ninth and Tenth streets
northwest, about IL o'clock to-day by the
charge of a gallant ex-Army officer of note
upon the Charles County brigade. About
the hour named the gentleman, accompanied
by two ladies and colored man with
market-basket, passed in review before the
long line of countrymen ard country
wagons. They inspected numerous lots of
fresh eggs and vegetables and laid in quite
q stock of good things for Tomorrow, when
the gentleman went into neighboring
commission house to see friend and,
dotfing his hat, bade the ladies remain for
moment on the sidewalk. He had hardly
been absent moment when the colored
man rushed into the store and informed the
General that the ladies had been grossly in
suited by a countryman. The General felt
all Of his military ardor rise, and rushing
outside singled out the countryman who
had offered the insult, and dealt him
sledge-hammer blow, which sent the knight
of the plow tumbling over several bales of
hay and two or three bleating calves which
were tied near by. The thunderstruck coun-
tryman arose quickly and beat hasty re-
treat, while his friend named Thompson
skirmshed on tho Generals front and
wanted to know why his friend had been
attacked.
~ will attack you," yelled the excited
officer.
"Naw you won't, retorted the vegetable
monger, and the General slashed
away at him with heavy cane,
striking him several times on the
head while the man of turnips aud
potatoes rushed in to defend himself. At
this juncture crowd of excited country
men attacked the colored man who had
acted the role of informer, and the latter
took refuge in an eating-house near by. The
countrymen clamored, and finally the man
of dark skin was forced to scale several
back fences to escape their
wrath. In the meantime, at least
800 people had assembled in the neighbor-
hood, and a riot was imminent, when sud
denly brace of police officers appeared
and took the cOuntryman and the General
into custody. The injuries were summed
up by CRITIC reporter, and con-
sisted of cut head, two bruised
bodies and badly-frigh negro
1t appears that the ladies were
left under the protection of the colored mau
during the Generals absence, and that the
young countryman, who was sitting on q
barrel, remarked loud enough to be heard
by the ladies, "say, Pompey, is them your
mashes?"
And that's why the gallant General
charged the Charles County Brigade. Both
parties left collateral at the Fifth Precinct
station-House.

The Foreign Wheat Crop.
london Cor. Financial Chroninle.


| From Hungary there now come de,
cidedly good reports, and with spell
of five weeks warm weather as good
or almost as good, harvest should be
reached in 1893 as in 1882, when the
yield was estimated as giving 3,000,-
coo quarters clear surplus. Austria
complains of insects and some red
rust on the wheat, but the injury ap.
pears to be confined to certain dis
tricts, and apart from damage from
this cause the outlook is admitted to
be favorable.
From Russia about three weeks ago
came, indirectly through Vienna, a
telegram to the effect that frost had
virtually destroyed the growing au.
tumn sown Wheat in the east and
southeastern provinces, described in
the telegram as the granary of Russia.
We owe it TO the energy of the
American Consulate that prompt in
quiry was made into the veracity of
this dispatch. The authorship of the
intelligence has not, we believe, been
traced, but as letters from the Ameri-
can OBusuls at Black sea ports of a
later date than the telegram state
that there is no knowledge of the dis.
aster in Russia, it may be assumed
that it was no more than SPECTATORS
maReuver. The growing crops in
Russia, as reported by the Consuls in
mid May, were said to be doing very
we'll, and the spring corn had been
favorably sown over about the usual
acreage.
As regards Europe, then, the two
drawbacks Of the existing situation
are first, the reduced wheat acreage in
England and France, say l 600 coo acres
in the two countries, representing g.
900, 000quarters for England on 800, OCJ
cres,and 1,250, COO quarters for France
on the same acreage; second, the gen.
eral backwardness of the season,
amounting to about a fortnight in
England, Germany and Northern
France, and to about week in South
ern France and Austria Hungary.
The Chronicle correspondent con-
tinues:
The large imports Of wheat-and
especially of 9our-during the current
season, and the augmented deliveries
of home grown produce without any
corresponding increase in the stocks, |
have, for some time past, been an
enigma which has not yet been salts
factorily solved. 1t will be seen by
the usual returns that the quantity of |
wheat and -four derived from home
and foreign sources during the first
thirty-nine weeks of the season has
amounted to 99.667,843 cwt, which |
compares with 80,O63,69O cwt
in the corresponding period Of |
last season. The increase is, there's
fore, II 100000 owt. But the stocks
OF foreign produce at the Outports
have not increased in a corresponding
ratio, and the trade is, therefore, |
driven to the conclusion that the con.
of bread has been materially
augmented. There are reasons for
believing that this is the case. Many
articles Of consumption have been
high in price for some months past,
and the working classes have, in many
cases, been compelled to fall back on |
bread in order to subsist.
A friend Of the correspondent, who
had ridden through some Of the prin-
ciple agricultural districts, stated that
wheat, oats and hops looked remarka
bly, well, beans and peas pstchy and
requiring rain.

material: boys happened along every

lowe CreamerIes.
Chicago Times

CAAseNg 4Ahloos
A gentleman who has this spring
visited large number Of oreameries
Of Iowa gives his views regarding the
outlook Of dairying and for the cream
business in Iowa. He says: For
the past two seasons many dairymen
have given the new method of buying
cream from farmers a thorough trial,
but with a rather discouraging result,
The main causes for ill>luck in ham
ding cream we're the high prices paid
TO farmers and the fact that the esti-
mate OF the proportion of
butter to cream had not been real
lied. The Storm Lake creamery had
found that the EXPENSE OF gathers
ing Che cream, manufacture and get.

pound" At AvOca the stockholders,
he understood. bad given their in
vestment Of $500 10 q private party
who would try 10 continue the bust
ness. Two eTeameTies have lately
failed in Adair county. He thought,
on the whole, more creamerymen were
going out Of the business this spring
than are entering il. Still he re-.
garded tho present dullness az only
temporary. and that cream buying
could be made a success. His idea is
that the better way Is 70 buy the but
ter from the farmers cburn, work and
pack it properly, and sell IL ss cream
cry goods. He does not think there il
any great danger from oleomargarinc
or buttefine.
