complement OF officers for almost every officer who is
ordered her at endeayOrs TO be relieved The

this vessel and their feelings greatly intensified by
the actions Of the officers II is of course, without
thorough investigation, difficult to say whether this
aversion going off In this vessel Is due to the proverba
superstition of seaarng men, has its origin in tangible
things that could and ought to he rcmeded The sailors
claim the vessel tOpheavy and that they crowded
together like sheep Yesterday the executive officer of
the ship Lieutenant Commander +. d. Thomas and Lieu

officer and his report will probably be relieved from

worse in the minds OF the sailors"

house Parish, La. The Watsons and Hemp
hills, reputable families, living within sight
OF each other, have long been at enmity,
owing to a dispute about stock,
which, it is claimed. was driv-
en- away by the rHemphills. The
feud eliminated terribly on the day named,
when two of the Hemphills and three Wat
sons met on the edge of a swamp, while
hunting deer. After a few singing words a
fight ensued, the combatants using their
shot-guns. John and Dave Watson, aged
about twenty-five and eighteen years re-
spectively, were killed outright. One of
the Hemphills was MORALLY wounded, and
the two survivors, probably alarmed at the
result of the fray, fled. Warrants are out
for their arrest.

Collapse OF q Granary Near M0orhead,
Mimi, Burying Several Laborers in the
Debris-Four Dead Bodies Taken from
the Ruins-The Supposed Cause of the
Accident.
MooEnEAD, Mimi, Oct. ia terrible
accident occurred Tuesday night at the farm
of Mr.. Northruff, eight miles east of here,
in which four men were killed outright and
ten more narrowly escaped with their lives.
The fourteen men were members of a
thrashing crew, who had been thrash
ing for Northruff the day previous, and
were sleeping in the lower story of a
granary, in the upper story of which was
stored fourteen hundred bushels of oats.
During the night, while all were fast
asleep, the floor suddenly gave way and
completely buried the eight who were sleep
ing at the end OF the building where the
floor first gave way. The six who were
sleeping ut the other end of the room
were partially crowded through the side
of the house, which gave way to the sudden
pressure of the descending grain, and made
their escape without serious difficulty. After
giving the alarm, they set to work to remove
the eight of their comrades who
were buried beneath the oats.
All possible haste was made to res
cue them, but the task was by no means a
light one, and when the unfortunate men
were finally reached four of them were
deadfrom srufocation, and some of the 9TH
ers so nearly so that it was a matter Of
doubt for several hours whether they would
recover. The names OF the dead are An

Charles Vim, and another whose name is

Daring Escape Of Twelve Long-Term
COnvicts in Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct 11.-Twelve long
term convicts escaped from the county pris-
on by locking the night watchmen in their
cells, taking possession of the keys, ana
walking out of the front door. One Of
the night watchmen, named Sampson.
was getting his hair cut in a
cell, when Ike Buzzard requested
Underkeeper Lutz to hand a bird
cage into his brother Abe's cell. Lutz
opened Ike's cell, took the cage, walked
across the corridor and opened Abe's door,
and, as he was about handing the cage in,
Ike ran out of his cell across the corridor,
pushed Lutz into Abe's cell and locked the
door. He next locked the other Waterman
in the cell in which he was getting his hair
cut and then took Lutz's keys from the
cell door and unlocked the cells
of eleven of the long-term convicts,
letting them into the corridor. They
went tn cell No. 9, where the firearms were
kept, and armed themselves with guns,
of the front door, cutting the telephone
wires between the prison and the station
house before they left. Their escape was
not discovered for half All hour, when a
large number of officers started in pursuit
Some of the escaped prisoners are among
the most reckless in the country, and it is
believed they will not be taken without a
desperate struggle.
The following is a list of those who es-
capped: John Frankfort, the one-eyed
horse-thief, serving a term of nineteen years
for horse stealing; Abe Buzzard, serving a
thirteen-year term for burglary; John Brem-
mer, the tire-bag, sentenced for sixteen
years; John Wertz, fire-bug, sentenced for
ten years; Alexander Leman, another fire.

ured.

KILLED BY WHISKY.

A F~our-Year-Old Boy Fed With Liquor to
Mako Sport for y Couple Of Depraved
Creatures, and Dying In Spasms Shortly
Afterwards.
CHICAGO, Oct 13.-A bright, healthy lit
tie boy, between four and five years of age,
the son of James Rice, now a prisoner in
the county Jail, died yesterday in great ag-
ony from the effects of drinking whisky
which had been poured down his throat by
couple of abandoned creatures. Rice, who
is an intelligent man and a skillful mechan-
ic, is in prison and awaiting trial on a charge
of burglary, of which, very probably, he is
not guilty. He has been in seri Dus trouble
before, but by many of his acquaintance he
is believed to be a reformed man. He has
a wife and another child besides the one
that was killed yesterday. His wife and
children lived at the corner OF HalSted and
West Lake streets, in the apartments of one
Annie Ferguson.
On Thursday last, it is said, this woman
and a male companion were drunk i'll her
apartments. They got the little boy from
al adjoining room and made him drink
whisky. His child's brain was oyerpow-
cred by the strong liquor. He staggered,
and acted strangely. He said foolish things
which made the unprincipled pair
who watched him shrek with
laughter. He fell to the floor
and could not get up again. Then he slept.
When he awoke he was dull and almost
senseless. That night he was taken with
spasms. A doctor was called, but he could
give the poisoned boy no relief. The
spasms grew worse. In the morning
the father was notified that his boy
was dying. He was taken to the house in
charge of a Jail attendant. The spasms
continued, and shortly after noon the child
died. The doctor says the whisky killed
him. The Ferguson woman expressed great
sorrow at what she had done. She has not
been arrested. The man has disappeared
from the neighborhood. The coroner will
investigate the case to-day.

The October Crop Reports.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The October
corn report of the Department of Agricult-
ure shows that grain was seriously injured
by the frosts of September. The injury
was greatest. in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio
and New York, and in the northern coun-
ties of Indiana and Illinois. Scarcely
any damage was done in Me-
hraska, and none in Kansas. The
average of Michigan was reduced from
60 to 45; Wisconsin, from rs to so; Of Ohio,
from so to SO, and of New York, from II to
81. In Illinois there was a loss of Z points,
and in Indiana Of 5. In many Southern
States drouth caused a loss of 2 per cent.
Thu average condition of the corn for the
TENDER 1, and 5 points below the October
average of 1882. The product of the year
will be close to 1900, DOC, 900 bushels, with
more soft corn than last year.
The returns of the yield of wheat show
about IN bushels less per acre than last
year. In Illinois the average is 10 bushels
per acre; in Indiana 10 and a fraction, and
in Minnesota and California, 10. Dakota,
Nebraska and Kansas exceed 16. The final
average for the country will be 10 $40 BUSH
els, an aggregate of about 416, 900, 600 BUSH
els. In oats the full average is at
tanned, Nebraska and Kansas leading in the
yield. The aggregate will be about 500, GOO, 900
bushels. The quality is high. The barley
crop averages between one and two bushels
per acre more than last year, and approxi-
mates SO, 600, 900 bushels. California, New
York, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa con-
tribute tlree-fourths of the whole product.
The potato crop is in better condition
than in any year since 1875, the average
being ninety-three, while the October aver
ages of 1882 and 1878 were each ninety.
The prospect is favorable for a crop above
the average. The tobacco crop will be be-
low the average in yield. The general aver
age of condition is eighty two.
