A Sad Suicide.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, August l3.-The
wife of Senator Allison left her home
Sunday afternoon. after dinner, ostenSi-
bly, for walk, but in reality to commit
suicide. She had been accustomed TO
take long walks for her health, and. al
ways returning. her departure upon this
occasion caused no uneasinesS till the
hour came for her return, when she
could not be found. At the hour of 8
O'Clock the excitement became intense.
Squads of citizens secured the city and
suburbs in all directions, remaining out
all night, without finding her, although
they found houses where she had called
during the afternoon and evening To
look for rooms. This morning about
$ O'Clock her lifeless body was found
drowned in the river near Moore's mill
She had waded out TO where the water
was less than four feet deep. and had
weighted her gossamer with stones to
hold her under She was the second
wife of Senator Allison and the adopted
daughter of the late Senator Grimes, of
Iowa. A few years ago she attempted
suicide by drowning in lake in West
ern New York The Senator is on a
stumping tour in Western Iowa. He
has been notified and will reach this
city Tuesday. The sad affair has caused
universal sorrow.

summary OF the Strike.

NEW York, Aug. u.-A correct sum-
mary of the present condition of the
photographers strike would seem to be
about as follows: There have been
some misunderstanding among the
brotherhood. and in meetings some mr.
gent addresses have been made in be-
half of surrender. The leaders of the
strike. however, generally declare salts
faction at the prospect, and believe in
eventfui success. Meantime, accessions
to the ranks of the working force
throughout the country continue, and
for the past few days have been in
creasing considerably, so much, in fact,
that it was believed yesterday that
there had been break of some magni-
tude among the strikers. To-day
developments discredit this theory, but
indicate clearly that a steady disinter-
grafton is going on. The brotherhood
have, however, much sympathy from
other organizations, have received some
substantial aid, and are encouraged by
reports of further defections from the
company in certain directions, aud OF
partial strikes among the railroad
operators. The reports of CON-
promise between the Baltimore.& Ohio
and its former employees do not seem
to have any basis offact. The Western
Union company declare the strike is
over for good, so far as any backdown
or concessions on their part is concern
ed. They are certainly making no un-
usual efforts to obtain men, and evince
much unconcern respecting applicants,
selecting carefully from all corners the
best workmen. 1t seems likely that
many of the best telegraphcrs who went
out viii seek other employment at once
rather than wound their own pride by
confessing mistake. This will be a
partial remedy for the plethora of
operators which has rendered the strike
a contest of such length, and will per-
haps bring relief to those who resume
work.

An Adroit Diamond Thief.

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. IA man
named j.. f. Stanford, who has been
boarding at the principal hotel for some
time past, called at Aron's jewelry store
Saturday and asked to see some dia-
mond earrings. After considerable de-
lay he selected a pair from the tray
placed on the showcase, and, with the
remark that he would call for them on
Monday, left the store. About an hour
afterward it was discovered that sew
eral diamonds, valued at between $500
and 5000, had been stolen from the
same tray and glass limitations substi-
tuted for them. Stanford had been in
the habit of calling at the store. In
quiry at the Rossin House elected the
fact that he registered from jamestown,
N. Y, and on Saturday evening paid
his bill and was going to Hamilton, by
the Clio train. Stanford is apparently
twenty-four years of age. tall and
slightly built.

The SHoIoku.@

One dainty lady wears silk cloak
made like n wrapper, with a square
yoke and full skirt, the back laid in
triple box plat and finished with
bow of ribbon, the front gathered, but
the whole hanging loose from the yoke
without belt or form, except so much
as can be obtained from the fitted sides.
These square-cut gowns are feature
of the season, and their varied use indl-
Gates the loose and inexact ideas which
prevail in regard to what is fitting and
proper in dress for different times and
occasions. have called the square
yoked dress the "holoku, because it
is made like the summer house and
veranda dress of the Sandwich Island
women, who give this name to it, But
even there is Il house costume, and not
intended for or worn upon the street.
Here it was first introduced as a morn
ing gown, scarcely admissible beyond
the precincts of the dressing room, but
by curious twist or perversion of
ideas it got started, and hltering
through many different craniums,
comes out a cloak, street dress, IN
evening toilet, or travelling costume,
as the case may be. One lady at Il
well-known summer resort has had
every dress in her summer wardrobe
made in this manner, and all accord
ing to the original pattern--that is.
with square yoke and loose fitting skirt.
Among them is cream-colored nuns
yelling, with alternate lace and satin
stripe, pink gingam, q red surah, an
electric blue chuddah cloth and a black
silk. which last has n decidedly clerical
effect. There is something original and
peculiar about the adoption of this uni
form style, and the care in selection
of materials and certain appropriate
ness to the wearer almost iustlies its
assumption for all purposes; but it does
not excuse the appearance upon public
streets and in public conveyances of
low-cut pink and blue dresses, with
white tucked and needle worked yokes,
the skirt sometimes loose, sometimes
belted down, or tucked up. the Wat
teau effect emphasized by floating rib
bons.

Contrasting His Crime.

PEsTH, Aug. Thirty-two of the
persons who took part in the riotous
demonstration here against Joseph
Scharf, father of Moritz Scharf, one of
the defendants in the Nyreghhaza riot.
and other Jews, have been arrested.
Rioting was continued until l O'clock
this morning. The authorities, in or
der to stop the disorders, have been
compelled to place Gordon of troops
around the street where the plundcring
of Jewish houses occurred. Moritz
Scharf, the boy who was the principal
witness for the prosecution in the re-
cent trial, and who swore number of
Jews murdered a young Christian girl
in order to procure her blood for ritual
purposes, and that he saw the murder
committed, has confessed to the re-
porter of the Pesther-Lloyd newspaper
that his testimony was false. Since the
acquittal of the Jews on trial Mt
Nyreghhaza there have been several
cases at Tizzezlar, where murder is
alleged to have occurred, and which
persons opposed to the jews seek to at
tribute to them

RrAught Him To Time.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The rumor
that the German Minister at Mexico
taunts the United States representative
there is partially corroborated. 1t has
been customary on the Fourth of July
for foreign ministers to compliment
this country by unfurling their flags.
The custom was observed by every one
but the German Minister. Minister
Morgan, on noticing this, sent word
that unless the customary courtesy was
not promptly shown he would re-
gard it as an insult to himself and make
the issue personal one. No answer
was returned, but the German flag
was Immediately displayed over the
legation. President Arthur is said to
have instructed the Secretary of State
to commend the conduct of Minister
MORGAN

For number of years parties in
England have been investing extensively
in American land This class is now
on the most ragged edge of anxiety
over rumor that movement is on the
tapis in this country to prevent aliens
becoming real estate owners in the
United States. The ghost of Parnellism
is seen by the frightened landlords in
this alleged scheme. The Pail Mall
Gazette in treating the subject comes
nearer to statement of future proba-
bilities than English journals generally
do in treating of American affairs
The Gazette thinks that being an in
tensely practical people, the Americans
viii look upon the whole matter, should
it come up, in a business light, and if it
is found that the introduction of large
body of foreign land owners into the
country will be detrimental to the
general interests of the people will
settle the question by putting stop to
the absorption. in their own way. The
Gazette admits this is no more than
England or any other sensible nation
would do. In the meantime the Ameri-
can people are quietly pursuing the
even tenor of their way undisturbed By
the ghost raised by Parnell, George &
Co. And again learn the truth of the
saying go away from home to get the
news" BY hearing for the first time
through foreign letter that they have
any idea at present OF making raid on
landlords, English or otherwise.

The Darlington Democrat says: Gas
we stated last week, there are prospects
of a wrestling match between Jack Car
keek, of this city, and Pat O'Donnell,
of Buffalo, N. Y, Cornish style. Mr..
Carkeek received letter Monday from
Duncan c. Ross, who is at Bay City,
Mich, stating that he knew nothing
about Cornish style, but could get Pat
O'Donnell to wrestle him; and that Mr..
ODonnell would be in Darlington any
day the parties here might name. In
answering the letter, Monday next was
named as the day for arranging the
preliminaries ODonnell is 5 feet 1
inches tall. weighs 235 pounds when in
condition. and measures 4S inches
around the chest. He is said to be one
of the best athletes in the country, but
the boys here have strong faith in Jack S
prowess as a Cornish wrestler, and their
man and money are ready at any time.
The match, if made, viii probably take
place in this city, and will attract
sporting men from all parts of. the
country.

Coming Corn.

There has been an Improvement in
the appearance of cornfields during the
month of July in New England, the
middle states, the Ohio valley, and west
of the Mississippi. In Illinois. Missouri,
and Kansas, it is sight, measured by
single point. There has been a retro
grade in the south, in consequence of
the drought, and some decline in Mich
igan, from too much moisture. TAX
ing the whole area together the condi-
ton has advanced from IS to 90 per
cent. of perfect crop. The condition
Of the Kansas crop of 1879, in August,
was SO, and the yield % bushels per
acre. The present returns indicate a
yield of not much over % bushels per
acre, or LOO, 900 bushels, which is
as much as was produced in 1879. The
crops condition is points higher than
last year in August, and lower than in
August, 1870 to 1880 inclusive. The
nights have been too cool for rapid de-
yelopment, and the crop is late. Fears
are expressed that frost may yet cause
disaster. In August, 1874, the CON
dition was one degree higher than the
present average. The crop was late
from wet spring and local summer
drought, and the yield was less than p
bushels per acre. The averages of the
states of PRINCIPAL production are.

It viii be seen from this, that in
the five principal States, that last year
produced more than one-half of the
entire winter wheat crop of the country
we have a probable shortage of 3d.
100000 bushels or nearly As per cent
of last years crop; nor is there any
special reason 10 suppose that if the
facts were as well known in all the
other winter wheat States the shortage
would be found to be any less. |
maintain the opinion advanced in April
and held more and more firmly month
by month since, that the total shortage
of this year as compared with 1882 can
not be less than l20,000,000 bushels,
and may go considerably above that
amount.
