her late husband, who was among the
first victims of cholera in Watertown
many years since. She continued to
have her home here until her removal to

Il Failing Building.

A sad calamity overlook P. B. Basford,
one of the early.residents Of this city, and
his son IL. 0. Basford, proprietor of the
Register newspaper, at Austin, Minneso-
ia, Monday of. last week by the falling of
a fine brick building owned by the former
and occupied in part by the latter, caused
by the giving way of the foundations. The
building was complete loss and, as may
be inferred, the printing off ce of the Reg
lister was entirely ruined. Mr.. P. B.
Basford had a narrow escape from death,
being struck by portion Of the north
wall and hurled to the earth but, mirac-
uously enough, escaped serious injury.
The loss on the building is placed at 81, 900
and on the Register Office at So, 900. The
loss to other occupants of the building is
set down at 1896. Great sympathy is
felt here for the serious loss to Mr.. Bag-
ford and his son and the hope is express.
ed that they may be soon able to recover
from the results of this unforeseen disas-
ter. We can realize to some extent the
position our brother of the quill, Fl. o.
Basford, is placed in by this turn in his
fortune,3but with good grit and enter
prise ne has already gone to work to re-
cover the lost ground.

lars, showing an average reduction OF
nearly three dollars per capita for
each nf the last eighteen years. The
interest charge pcr capita Is now
ninety.6ye ceuts. The elaborate an
alysis mtde by the Treasury Departs
,asnt, from which these figures are
extraeted, shows that there was less

in 1861 than i'll any other. OF The
twenty>seynn years embraced in the
document, the amount then being
less than three million dollars, as
against three hundred and fifty-five
millions cash in the Treasury to-day.
The monthly interest charge, which
in 1851 was only one hundred and
thirty mine Thousand dollars, had nine
wears later grown to the maximum of
twelve and half millions and is now
down to FOUR and a quarter millions.

Secretary Folger's Decision on the
sthepasit Act:f

Secretary Folger has written re-
ply to Senator Garland, who recently
presented the claim of thu State OF
Arkansas for moneys alleged to be
due under the Deposit act OF June
%, 1886, In which he says:
''Since the indebtedness of the
United States has been sufficient to
absorb the surplus revenues | under
stand that the usage Of the depart
ment has been to look npon the Be
posit act as being at least suspended,
if not entirely obsolete, and until
otherwise directed by Congress am
disposed to concur in that usage.

The Civil Service Reform.

It is understood that the Civil
Service Commission has asked the
President to direct a further class
iflcation of employees in the govern
ment service, so as TO bring within
the operation of the civil service
rules the class of employees who are
now receining less than 5000 per
annum. The President is believed
to favor the proposition, and it Is
thought that he will soon direct a
reclassification of employees who are
receiving less than 81 200 per an.
mum, and who are not now subject
to the regulati tiOns of the Civil Ser
vice Commission. 1t is not thought,
however, that employees receiving
less than $500 per annum will be in
cluded in the Reconsideration.

with other criminals who were to re-

iiiiAs Judge Cooper pronounced the
Andy stood firm aud showed
no signs of breaking down, toward
the last, however, he turned slightly
red in the face, and as the Judge
finished he turned to a person setting

The october CROP Report.

WAsH1NcrcS, Oct. 1.-The Ocbo-
Der corn report of the department OF
agriculture fully sustains the tele,
rraphic summary of September, 10
relative to injuries by frosts OF the
Sth 9th and 10th. The State average
of condition shows the extent OF the
injury, which was greatest in Mlchi-
gan. Wisconsin, Ohio and New York.
There was also severe loss In
Minnesota and Dakota, and some
damage in the elevated portions OF
Pennsylvania and West Virginia, in
tho northern counties of Indiana and
Illinois, and in the least advanced
fields of Iowa, but scarcely any In
Nebraska, and none in Kansas is res
ported. The reduction of State ave.
ages is: In Michigan from GO to 45,
Wisconsin IS to 80, Ohio 80 to 63,
New York n to 81. The reduction,
ia seven points in Illinois and five IN
Indiana. The high September fig"
ures- have been materially reduced by
frost. The loss of condition from
drought has become moro apparent,
causing slight reductions OF the Sep
tember estimates of many OF tho
Southern States. The general avcr>
age of condition for the entire field is
rs. six points less than on September
/. The product of the year will be
close to 1,6OO,O0O,0O0 bushels, with
more soft corn than last year.
The returns of yield of wheat per
acre Indicate a production about =
bushels per acre less than the crop OF
last year. It is but 81 bushels per
,,cre in Ohio, 10 in Illinois ond but a
fraction above 10 in Indiana. Ii Is
above II in Michigan and 13 In Min
nesota. Iowa and California: The
Missouri average is 12 bushels, Da-
k0ta aud Nebraska exceed f6, and the
Kansas average is about17. The ag-
cregate will exceed 100000, 900 bush
els and may reach 100000, 900. The
quality is not up to an average.
The potato crop is in better con
dition than in any year since 1910.
The average is SO, while the October
averages of 1882 and 1879 were each
80.
The tobacco crop will be below an
average in yield.

The fioxernment Revenues.

In the year 1857 the revenues OF
the government exceeded its expend-
itures by a little oyer a million dol
lars. From that time until after the
close of the war the expenditures ex-
ceeded the revenue, the excess for
1865 being nearly thousand mills
lions. The following year, however,
there was a surplus of more than
thirty-seyen millions, and every year
since there has been more or less
hea, balance on that side of the ac-
count, Notwithstanding the many
extravagant appropriations by Con-
eress. The smallest surplus was in
1874, when it amounted to little more
than two million. In 1881 the sur
plus was little more than a hundred
millions, the following year there
was a surplus Of more than one hund-
red and foriy>fiye millions and for
last year the amount was one :hun-
dred and thirty-three millions. T

Rogersville Telephone.
On last Saturday, Henry Miser,
Pat. Gibson, Monroe Collins, and per>
haps others, of Hancock county,
were in Rogersville drinking pretty
freely, as we have it, and on their
return got into,a quarrel. Miser and
Gibson, especially. Through inter
position of a friend they were kept
comparatively quiet until theyreached
the boarding house at the Baltimore
marble quarry. Soon afterwards.
however, the fuss was renewed and
Miser slapped Gibson in the face
were kept apart for time, but as
soon as an opportunity afforded, Glib
son drew his pistol and shot Miser,
the ball entering the right side. 1t
is thought that the wound will prob
ably prove fatal. 1t may be proper
er to state that neither of the parties
mentioned were connected in any
way with the marble quarry but
simply stopped Tor the time at the
boarding house.
