The California wheat crop is summed
up as follows by the Sacramento
Union: "'The crop yield by no means
come up to the expectations. On the
contrary, and in spite Of the increased
acreage, it will be light, and much of
the grain will be very inferior quail
ity by reason of its shrunken condi-
ton. We will have a surplus of wheat,
but it will not be anything like our
beast.u

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
Opened With a Brilliant Democratic Rally
in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, Sept. 4-To-day the political
campaign opened in this city by mass
meeting in ( ourt street market space Mayor
Stephens presided and Judge Follet's open
ing speech, with its sharp arraignment of
the Republican party for its inconsistency,
indicated very clearly what Will be the line
of argument for the campaign in Hamilton
county.
Michael Ryan, who in the convention op-
posed energetically the ticket which was
nominated, made a vigorous speech. He
took the opportunity to say that the tenn
porary breach in the party ranks would soon
disappear
What the audience waited for with special
interest was the reading of letters from
prominent gentlemen who declined to be
present. The letters read were from Con-
gresham Jordan, Senator Pendleton and
Alexander Long. The last named expressed
his hearty support of the ticket nominated
by the county convention. Jordan hoped at
some future time to address the citizens on
the issues of the campaign. Senator Pen
dleton's letter was very brief and was not
accompanied with any explanation except
the statement that the written message had
already been anticipated by verbal one of
similar tenor. The letter was heard in
silence, followed by cheers for Pendleton.

The poorest of the Poor.

A good sized audience gathered at the
Opera House last evening on the occasion
of the Rentz-Santley first appearance in this
city this season, and If last nights perform
ance is a sample of what they will give the
remainder of the season, they had better
disband and hire a lot of amateurs, for
their performance was the poorest of the
poor. The only redeeming feature of the
whole program was the performance
of Dutch Daily on the concertina.
Our home orchestra attempted to
render the instrumental portion of the
program and play accomplishments. Just
what was the matter with them it is hard to
say, but they appeared to be unable to play
even the simplest parts and made things
almost unbearahle in their frantic attempts
to keep after the singers, who were IN par
with the orchestra, as far as ability was con-
cerned. 1t is to be hoped that a Whining
ton audience will never again be called
upon to sit and listen to such thoroughly
poor performance.

on Thursday last at the mouth of Leipsic

about 9 O'Clock, by farmer, at the mouth

Making His Escape
The tramp who started freight engine No.
~ on Monday evening and which collided
with passenger train shortly after, an ae-
count of which was published in yesterdays
GAZETTE, escaped from his captors and is
now at large. After being arree ted by some
of the railroad authorities the tramp was
locked up in a fiagman's house, his hands
being securely tied, as was supposed. When
his captors returned, shortly after,
to take him to jail, they found
that he had succeeded in slip
ping his improvised handouts and had left
for parts unknown, since which time moth
ing has been seen or heard from him. A
vigorous search will be made for the mis-
creant and should he fall into the hands OF
the railroad authorities he will undoubtedly
suffer to the full extent OF the law for his
outrageous act which fortunately did not re
suit in the loss of life.

TRIAL OF JAMES MUTT.
Likely to be Continued on Account of Il

Likely to be Continued on Account of the
Illness of q Witness.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, Sept 4.-The trial
of James Mutt for shooting Nicholas Lyman
Dukes on Wednesday evening, June 13,
will, in all probability, be continued until
the December term of court. The attorneys
on both sides have agreed to try the case on
Thursday of this week, but as j. G. Breck-
enridge, cousin of Mutt, and an impor-
tant witness for the defense, is seriously i'll,
the attorneys for the defense made motion
in court this afternoon to have the case con-
tinued. The court refused to recognize a
DOCTORS certificate setting forth the condi-
tion of Mr.. Breckenridge, and the doctor
will accordingly appear in court to morrow
and personally testify as to the condition of
his patient.
When it was learned that the case would
probably not be tried at this term of court
much regret was expressed by every one,
principally on account of the length OF time
that young Mutt will be compelled to re-
main in jail The town is crowded with
strangers from all over the country, who
came for the sole purpose of hearing this
case and they are much disappointed at the
turn affairs have taken. The sentiment in
favor of Nuts acquittal is overwhelming.
