ton is small but with favorable
weather from now on we may eX-
pect very good crop. The small
wheat crop is about all threshed
and garnered. The past few days
have been favorable for saving the
hay crop. which is unusually large.
In fact summing up everything
there is reason to hope that the
crops in this county will come up to
an average.

A motion for new trial in the
Polk case was made on tho ground
that one of the jurors, after he had
been summoned but previous to his
acceptance, had been heard TO say
that he was going to hang Polk. It
was proved that the assertion was
made in a jocular way, and Judge
Allen overruled the motion. In re.
spouse to the usual question if he
ha.i anything to say why sentence
of law should not be passed on him,
Col. Polk answered in low but
distinct voice, "Nothing." An ap-
peal was taken to the Supreme
court and d bond for $4,000 given.

A Big Suit.

Knoxville Tribune.
John G. Quinn, the pioneer fruit
drier inventor of East Tennessee,
has brought suit against the Knox
vile Fruit Dryer Company for one
hundred and twenty thousand dOl>
lars. Suit is entered n the District
Court of the United States for the
Eastern District of Tennessee. John
G. Quinn charges that the Knox
vile Fruit Dryer Company violated
section 1901 revised statutes of the
United States, in placing on their
Gem Fruit Dryers the words and
figures Pat. Dec. 5, 1882" when no
patent had been received OF applied
for on the Gem Drier. The plaintiff
charges that by the statements of
defendants six hundred of these
driers have been made and on each
one has been placed the false rep
resentation "Pat. Dec. 5, 1882" The
penalty is 800 or more in each
case, half of the fine to go to the
use of the plaintiff, who brings suit,
and half to the United States:
There are 600 counts, and MI. Gum
brings suit for 100000.
This is one of the largest suits
ever entered in the United States
Court from East Tennessee. The
declarations cover over 300 pages
of printed matter. Mr.. Gums at
torpeys are Gillenwatefs & Houk.
This will doubtless become a cele-
brated case.

The Grny Bngs Again.

MorristOwn Gazette
On tho night of the 6tii instant,
two valuable horses were stolen from
the stable of Ex>Gov. Senter, below
town. A close search the next morn
ing resulted in no tidings OF the
missing horses Or thieves. Coy.
Senter came to Morristown and tel9
egraphed to different points up and
down the road for a sharp lookout to
be kept. He then placed the matter
in the hands of deputy sheriff John
Bell, who obtained a clue to the
whereabouts of the horses and recap
tnred them in the lower end OF The
county. near Huil's Branch. Sc
curing the horses, BIZ. Bell pursued
the thieves and captured them in the
vicinity OF Nolchy Gap, Granger
county. They proved to be two
brothers one of them giving his name
Philip Gray. They are now inear-
cerated in jail nj this place to await
conviction and sentence at the next
session OF the Circnit Court. Deputy
sheriff Bell deserves to DE commended
for the efficient and speedy manner
in which he brought these criminals
into the hands Of the law. But we

OF the appropriation of S1O0, O00,-

the fiscal year ended June 80, 1883,
$39,000,0 600 remained unexpended
and was reappropriated for the pres

able for the expenses of the Pension
Bureau about $125, 600. Com
missioner Dudley expresses the opin-

surplus at the end OF the presentfiscal
year. In that event he will ask to
have the surplus reappropriated, and
expect to be able to considerably re-
ducethe amount required for the fiscal
year beginning July I, 1884. The
Commissioner says that notwith-
standing the probable existence Of
this large surplus the number of pen
sion claims passed upon during the
present year will show a large in
crease over that Of last year and at
tributes the saving to the character
of the cases and the efficiency oS the

FUTURE LIFE.

The future life of travellers on this
terrestrial sphere is destined to be a
happy one when their paths lie be-
tween Owosso and the eastern cities,
if elegance and luxury in the appoint
ments of the principal highway will
aid toward that end.
The Michigan Central railroad has
always held a foremost place amongst
the lines between the west and the
Atlantic seaboard, and the latest ad-
ditiop to their accommodations in
the shape of four new Dining Cars
will greatly strengthen its position.
These new cars are incompatible
for beauty Of design and selectness
of adornments, all the elegan cies of
art having been exhausted to pro-
duce the most desirable effect. That
the end has been gained, goes with
out saying, and they stand to-day as
far in advance Of other dining cars
as the first dining cars were in adj
vance of the lunch counters at way
side stations.
The cuisine is quite on par with
the finish of the cars, and all that
may minister to the nourishment Of
the body, or tickle the palate of the
most discriminating epicures, will be
found therein.
They are certainly great attrac-
ton to the Michigan Central line,
and doubtless the Company will reap
the hoped for harvest of increased
patronage from the travelling public.
