PROMISING HOP PROSPECTS.
Extensive Preparations Making In
Central New York.

WArERvILLE n. Y, April 2O.-It is a
maxim with hOpgrowers that one good
year is always followed by second. The
theory is that short crop and high prices
exhaust resources, and however large the
next years yield the demand for immediate
consumption will put it into the power OF
the grower to secure good prices. Fortified
by the profits of the previous year he can
hold q part Of his crop and make profit
for the current year on what he sells. The
year 1882 was the best ever known to Amer
lean hop growers, and il is claimed that
the bulk of the worlds reserve of hops is
held in these parts, so that higher prices
than any yet reached are talked OF. For
the crop of 1883 preparations are already
beiug made in Central New York district.
In several yards the opening Of hills has
begun, and, as the expression is, they
open well'-that is, the roots are in good
condition. Acting M the belief that hops
will be hops for the coming year, every
bill that promises vine will be encour-
aged to do its best. There will be no plow-
ing up. Yards which would be naturally
given over TO grass and rest will be treated
to phOsphates, or other wise encouraged 10
do their utmost for yet another season.
While it is impossible at this date to fore
cast the crop it is evident that there will
be an increase Of acreage. The hitherto
unapprOaChed prices obtained for the crop
1882 have tempted into hop culture far
mers who have previously followed mixed
agriculture. The demand for hop roots is
a good indication of the sturdiness OF the
craze. In ordinary times these are given
away. They are runners cut off for the
good of the vines and thrown into piles to
rot. These are now bringing s. per bushel.
II the supply proves limited as planting
time approaches the price will be matter
for the sellers conscience to decide. An
other indication of activity is found in the
receipts of poles at the Woterville station
during the winter and spring. On April IL
the aggregated %ti car loads, averaging
1,UU0 poles TO the car. These, OF course,
are not all for new yards; but for new and
old they are an assurance that no aid TO
hop growth will be neglected this year.
Hop farms, like their product, are held
at fabulous prices. In the best region
about Waterville farms sell in the lump at
sGOO and upwards per acre.

ASIA MINOR
The Armenians and Greeks Threaten
an Oalbreak.

CoSsrAsTIsoPLK, April a.-The condi.
ton of the northern provinces OF Asia
Minor is such as to cause considerable un.
eAsiness because the Armenisns and Greeks
are showing not only great Independence,
but are constantly agitating political ques.
tions in way which threatens to lead to
outbreaks. The danger is all the greater
because the leaders in the movement are
strangers, who came into the country In
the influential guise OF merchants, school
teachers and Russian missionaries and
officers, which throw them into very di.
rect contact with the masses and enable
them TO move about with great freedom.
The blind and brutal oppression systemat.
ically practiced by the Turkish govern
ment eIcites the patriotic feelings OF the
Armenians, and fostered, as il is by tn Q
clergy and press, il is only too probable
that there may be witnessed in Asia scenes
OF massacre and ontrages such as Bulgaria
saw seven years ago.
The Greeks, who number l.0oo. 900, are
constantly ill.treatel and are powerless
sgainst the violence and savagery Of the
Circassians and Lsxis. They consequently
move across the border into Russia where,
since they are excellent craftsmen, masons,
&c, they are able 70 find plenty OF work on
bridges, roads, and other public works. So
we'll pleased are the Russians With this
class OF immigrants that they offer them q
premium of 80 -oubles per man and the
promise Of small plots Of land on the from
tier. Many others OF this class OF Greeks
desire to emigrate to Greece itself, but the
Hellenic government does not find it in its
power to help them.

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
The Body OF Maggie Hennecke Found
In Ehe River.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 20-The Mag
gle Hennecke mystery was solved this
morning by the discovery OF her body in
the river near Jones Island only short
distance from where her hat was
found few days after her disappear
ance. The body was first seen by
Capt. Williams, of the tug Bues, anl
and when discovered was near the mid
die of the river, floating on the surface,
and was towed to the shore and the author
tiles notified On the arrival of the wagon
at the station, Superintendent Whitehead
and Chief Mason viewed the remains, and
they were without trouble identified as
OF Maggie. The gold necklace was in its
place. The little nut basket, suspended
at her neck, was still there,
and a gold band ring with the ini-
tisls M H." erg 'aved on it. The body
was swollen by the water, and the features
were almost uni IecOgnizable. The eyes
were wide open and protruded from the
head, giving her face horrible expression.
At the mOrgue the remains were placed on
a marble slab, and under instructions from
the officers of the Humane Society, were
prepared for burial. They will probably
be removed to the home Of Mr.. Hen
reCke, on Hanover street, this afternoon.
The mother was also Immediately notified
of the discovery OF her child. Mr.. Hen.
necke, unfortunately, had left for White
Water, at A. NJ, and the discovery was
made at 7:3O. Maggie Hennecke disap-
peared on October 24th, 1882 The
theory is that her body was caught by
q projecting pile of the wharf and held
down.
Maggie was about - years Of age. Opin.
ion is divided between the theory of sui
eide and accidental drowning.

WAllACE-M'KiNLEY.
Progress OF the Contest In the Eigh.
teenfh Ohio District.

MAssILLoS, O., April 20.-The first OF the
ten days allowed Major Wallace by law, in
which to rebut the testimony taken in IA
vor Of Mckinley in the Congressional con-
test in this district, was spent here to-day.
w. A. Wallace and Y. D. Billingsby of New
Lisbon, represented Wallace, and George
+. Baldwin, of Canton, appeared for Nc
kinley. In this end of Stark county the
investigation on the part of Mckinley was
claimed by his side to have unesrthei five
illegal votes cast for Wallace, and that al
legation was freely circulated by Republi.
can papers throughout the district aud
State. The testimony taken to-day clearly
establishes to a non bipartisan mind that
four of the votes in question were legally
cast, and the other one involves points
which may result in counting it for Wal
lace or throwing it ont This doubtful
ballot was cast by James Benson in North
Lawrence precinct, and was claimed to be
fraudulent on the grounds OF non-resi-
dence. The nam had a wife and family
living in Mshoning county, but the proof
shows that he has not Contributed to their
support for two years, and has not even
seen them for some seventeen months
Msior Wallace's attorneys are very san-
euine as TO their client being seated, and
state that by allowing Mckinley every.
Thing he claims Wallace has clear ma
iority Of between twenty five and thirty. .

NEW GOLD MINES.
How Gold II Being FOund and Worked
in Georgia.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 20.-Mr. W. n.
Webster, OF Carroll county, Georgia, is in
this city getting up company to work a
gold mine that he owns in Carroll county.
Mr.. Webster has put the matter in the
hands of f. E Mckay and Judge Breckin-
ridge. Mr.. Webster says his mine is POI
acres in extent, and that the ore on it will
mine $40 a ton. He tells some things about
gold fields in Georgia that will be news
to most people in this part of the coun-
try. The gold belt in Georgia" said
Mr.. Webster, extends from Virginia and
North Carolina to Florida and Alabama. 1t
is from l2O 20 40 miles wide. You have
no idea of what an industry it is. Thou
sands of people are making their living
working in the mines. In one place alone
in Lumpkin county, you can see twenty
steam mills each Of which employ from
five to fifty men. Some of these gold mines
have been worked for years, aud in places
the earth is dug away sixty feet. Some OF
it is very rich in ore. Four hundred acres
were sold some time ago for s. OOO,0OO to
English capitalists. All the mining is done
by wealthy capitalists and there are few
poor men in the belt. Ii is busy place.
Good wages are paid and the men are in
dustriouS and sober. People are tlocking
there from the far West and even from
Australia and Mexico"

POISON HER.
A Man Offers a Doctor 500 10 Murder
His Insane Wife.


NEW YORK, April 20.-A singular story
is told by DR.. Bowen, one of the assistant
surgeons of the Kings county lunatic asy-
lum. 1t appears that Mrs. Patrick Quinn,
wife of an Irishman residing in South
Brooklyn, is an inmate OF the asylum. She
is sufferer from mental disease OF chronic
character, and no hope for her recovery is
entertained. Physical decay, however, has
not accompanied the ruin OF her intellectu-
al faculties, and there is every
reason for supposing that, with
proper care she will live 10 ripe old age.
From what Quinn has been in the habit OF
saying the employees Of the asylum, there
is little doubt that an opportunity for
another matrimonial alliance was the one
thing needed to complete his happiness.
He constantly bewailed the cruel fate OF Q
man who had a demented wife, and de-
clared that il Mrs. Quinn was off his hands
he wonld get married again. The last
time Quinn visited the asylum where his
wife was confined, he had q long talk with
her, aud was about to leave, when he asked
one of the nurses to see DR.. Bowen.
What can do for your said DR.. Bow
en-. when he made his appearance.
We'll, Doctor" said Quinn, my wife
will never get better, and if could
Get Rid or Her,
| might get married again and take good
care of my children"
What do you mean" said the Doctor,
more than ever convinced that Quinn was
mentally degeneiatiug.
We'll, tell you plainly, Doctor: want
to get rid Of my wife. and il you will poison
her Oil give you a hundred dollars."
The Doctor weighs about us pounds and
is in excellent physical condition. He
dealt Mr.. Quinn blow Of 8 most effective
character. /. caught the well-dressed III
dividusl squarely on the cheek and sent
him across the floor, as il the Doctors arm
had been 9 pile driver in good working
order. When Mr.. Quinn rose 10 bis feet he
received another favor, equally staggering
in its effects. Then the Doctor called in
Mr.. shannon an instant, and told him to
escort the ruffisn out of the building
This Shannon did with more or less polite
nsss, principally less Quinn admitted that
he had offered the Doctor 800 for the mur.
de. of his wife, and did no: see what harm
the death Of hopeless Ia natic would do.

A MODEL CLAIM.
A Franco erman Citizen With Mod

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The French
American Claims Commission has become
The vehicle for bringing to light some oil
the most extraYagsnt fables in the shape OF
cAims against the United States that hu-
mi Ia ingenuity could we'll invent One Of
taem appears TO be that OF Michael Fen
tel eAheim, which, according to the sho6ins
of Hon, Geo. II. Boutwell,, counsel for this
goyernment. embodies an unblushing fab
rlGation in all its particulars. Mr.
Boutwell, shows, to begin with, that Fen
teIheim is German from Sras0urg
and not a subject of France in any sense,
and, therefore, has no claim before the
commission, even if his claim S3ll ,36l: Us
had a SAVIOR of validity. Fentenheim,
however, has put in plenty OF testimony as
far as he and his wife are concerned, W
show when his native territory was ceueu
to Germany in 1871, he made haste 10 de-
clare himself a citizen OF France. de cltes
evidence on file at the French Consulate In
New York and the State Department, but
none OF the documents can apparently be
found and there is nothing to show that his
interest in France dates back further than
the filing of his case before this commits
sion. His account of property, Tor which
he claipus about S32S,o0O
Reads Like Romance,
and is equally unsupported as his claim
to French citizenship. He declares that
he owned $500 OF property at Pelican
Point, in Char lesion hsrbor, destroyed by
Union forces in 1868. Evidence OF both
Union and Confederate officers agrees that
there were no such buildings in existence
as Fentenheim swears 10, and the abstract
Of title to real estate shows that he owned
no land at the point. Then he has claim
for a Sl5, 900 house destroyed by Gen. Kill
patrick, near Akin, s. c., upon a given
day. Testimony goes TO show that
there was no such house in existence
where he locates it, and furthermore
Fitzpatrick had left that section OF
country two weeks before and gone
on to Columbia He has another schedule
of tobacco store destroyed by Union shells
in the city of Charleston, which does not
appear to have had any existence at the
time alleged, except in the 100000 imagi-
nation of Fentenheim and his good wife
Honora. She seems to swear as tiuently
as her husband. Then again, this worthy
couple claims 10 have been despoiled OF
several thousand dollars worth OF money
and jewels by deserters from Gen. Butler S
army who were dressed in Confederate
uniforms and met the righteous couple on
the ChckahOmiuy. Mr.. Boutwell, has
shown up this case in all its interesting
features, and in its wonderful details oI
trial il reads like the voyage OF Sinbai the
