THE WHEAT CROP.

The A creage Larger and the Quality Better.
San FRANCISCO. March Crop reports are
more favorable than anticipated from the
drvness of the season. In Sacramento Val
ley there is larger acreage of wheat than
last year, and with rain within the next two
weeks the crop viii be up to or over the av-
erage. In the northern part of San Joaquin
Valley the same is true. Farther
south the heaviest will be a failure
except on irrigated ground. In
Counties surrounding San Francisco Bay the
prospects are fair. With the usual spring
rains, the Southern Coast Counties have in
creased their acreage, the prospects varying
from a half to q full crop, according to
locality. Very little wheat remains in the
hands of growers, and that is held for better
prices. Considerable barley is held for q
rise.
Oregon edyices say the wheat acreage is
about 25 per cent. greater than last season.
One growth of the growing crop in Will
motto Valley was killed by frost, and but so
per cent. thereof will be reseeded. In east
ern Oregon and Washington Territory the
outlook was never better. No surplls in
Oregon, Washington or Idaho. 1t is not
likely that flour will be imported before
midsummer. A fair estimate for the export
for the coming season, for Oregon and
Washington Territory, is $50, 600 tons.

TWO FUNERALS.

Those of Mike McGloiD, the Murderer and
Jimmy Elliott, the Pugilist-The Houses
of the Dead and Those Who Paid Their
Last Respects.
New YORK, March 11-There were two
notable funerals in the city to-day. Both
were of the lowest order and well attended
by the toughest Of the rough element. One
took place from the late home in Twenty
ninth street, and was that of the strangled
young Michael E. McGloin. When
living he was looked after by the police and
dead they still followed him. The cortege
attracted an immense throng who followed
it until the little mound in Calvary Gene
try marked the last resting place. The
other was in the most miserable of the
squaGd part on Canal street, close
to Walker, and from wretched,
tumble-doWn rookery. Early in the
day the hardened Bowery roughs and their
equally hardened, gaily bedizened female
com panions began to gather in numbers.
They thronged the little square on which
the house where the dead man lay frouted,
and the constant theme of conversation was,
Poor Jimmy Elliott" On the second
floor lay the body of the dead pugilist in
cloth covered oaken casket, surrounded
with flowers. Over 1t hung the mourning
trimmings that hung over the body of
Cornelius L. Vanderbilt when that scion OF
the millionaire lay dead in q fashionable
hotel on Fifth avenue. At $780, thirty-six
men. pail bearers, wearing high hats, white
regalias and mourning badges, entered
the room. Among them were
"Jack" Stiles, Eliotts friend and
hacker; Charles Johnston, Jimmy McGlynn.
ex-Alderman; Jimmy Dunno, Red
Leary, "Shang' Draper, "Chief' Magin, OF
Philadelphis and Matt Grace They
lifted the casket and carried it to the
street. A number OF small boys began to
cheer, but they were quickly hushed and
the coffin quietly borne TO the hearse. Then
tire order of the procession was taken up.
Following the hearse came the pall-bearers
and about thousand men and boys Fol-
lowing were about $50 coaches. AT the
Seventh Street ferry TO Williamsburg four
ferry boats made two trips each 10
transfer the crowd. After the usual Catholic
services at Calvary Cemetery, Jimmy"
Elliott was placed in his last hole and the
crowd found its way back TO New York. In
the procession were James Lewis, San Fran
cisco; ABE" Coakley, David Dwyer Bos-
ton; George Rocker, Frank While, Sam
Colly, Mike Cleary, Prot. William Clark,
Billy McGloury, Fred Krohno, Owen

WASHINGTON, March II. - The defense

He said he had favored the establishment of

cause it was natural eastern outlet for
mails of his Territory. After its establish

contractor and amount of pay were un-

the condition of the country at the time the

o'clock passenger train on the l., B. and w.
when at the crossing of the Youndkville
Gravel Road. ran into a hack containing
two passengers and the driver, en- route from
Charlottesville to Alamo. All the occupants
were killed; also the horses. The hack was
broken into thousand pieces. The vehicle
was the ordinary country hack with the seats
lengthwise and side curtains. Mrs. Eliza
beth Clark, wife OF Squire Clark, of Alamo,
was thrown into the ditch and killed in
stantly. Joseph Green, the driver, was dead
when the train men reached him. Milton
Rush was put on board the train, but died
before he reached this place The accident
seems almost unaccountable, rs at this
crossing q train coming from the east can be
seen for quarter of a mile. The usual sig
mails were given by the engineer.
The mystery will probably never be
solved as every eve that could explain it Is
closed in death. Dead men tell no tales.
The driver was an emplove of the Gov
ernment. carrying the mails from Crawfords-
vile to Alamo. He had made but few
trips. but was regarded as a careful and
sober man.

ARRESTED FOR EMBEzzLEMENr.
An Ex-City Treasurer OF Franklin S1,1oo
Short in His Accounts.

Special to the Sentinel:
FRANKLIN, Ind, March S.-our little city
was thrown into fever of excitement this
morning by the report that ex-City Treas
urer Samuel Glenn was short in his accounts,
and had been arrested upon charge of en-
bezzlement. An investigation proved that
the report was indeed true, and that the
shortage amounts to something over 81. 100.
The Office pays mesger salary, and Glenn
is supposed to have used the money in sup
port OF his family, as he is not known to
have speculated at any time during his in
cumbency. He was arrested at the instance
of his bondsmen, who have endesyored to
settle the matter without giving publicity to
the facts, but his refusal to secure them by a
mortgage upon his residence in this city
hastened the proceedings and led to full
expose of the matter. In fact. it has been
whispered for some time that Glenn was short
in his accounts, but the amount was not
known. An effort is now making to stop
the proceedings, and this will no doubt be
accomplished by Glenn giving the desired
mortgage.

appointed superintendent of Lafayette
Square IN that CRY, the propriety Of ap-
pointing women as supsrinteuden,s of public

that energetic, public spirited women be
appointed superinterdents Of public squares,
and the Philadelphia Times asks: "Why
not? The squares are, as rule, shsmefully
neglected, and the improvements or repairs
are generally done in a clip shod and imper-
fec manner. Our public squares are the

would be advisable, Tor many reasons, to sp.
