A Shortage OF 77,O0O,0OO Bushels in
the Estimated Wheat Crop.
WASHINGTON, May IL.

WASHINGTON May IL.
Following is brief synopsis of the Agri.
cultural Department crop report as to spring
and winter wheat:
The May returns for spring wheat are low
er as compared with those of April. This is
owing to frOsts and backward season. The
average as compared with April is II for
New York; Michigan, SO; Ohio, CO, and Illi-
nOis, 66. There is a further loss from
the plowing-up of large areas.
The reduction in Missouri is from SO
to so; Indiana, rs; New Jersey, 1O1-about
the same as April. All the remaining
Northern States show an improvement since
April. This is true of the Pacific Coast and
of nearly all the Southern States-COnnecti-
cut, 80; Pennsylvania, 95; Delaware, IS;
Maryland, 80; Virginia, 81: North Caro-
lima, 90; South Carolina, 90; Georgia, 81;
Alabama, 9S; Mississippi, 90; Texas, 81;
Arkansas, Sc; Tennessee, So; West Vir-
ginia, 90; Kentucky, 81; Kansas, 81; Cali
fornia, II; Oregon, ~. This is an i'm
provement of fifteen points for California
and of seventeen for Oregon.
The average condition of winter wheat Is
S3ll, against so. The breadth Of the pres
ent acreage is 20 per cent less, representing
loss Of 77,000, 900 bushels. Reports from
London agents show some improvement in
last month. A smaller acreage was sown m
England. In France and Germany rain and
higher temperature are wanted. There are
prospects of reduced crop on the Continent
owing to frost and a reduced acreage. In
Austria Hungary there is prospect of a
medium crop.
There was intense interest here to obtain
the crop report from the Agricultural De-
partment early In the day, but all attempts
TO do this proved unsuccessful. The Com
missioner of Agriculture was able to prevent
any premature publication of the results,
and 1t certainly can not be charged
against the Department that 1t had any
completely in stock-jobbing. The ex-
traordinarily backward season, the heavy
frosts, and the long-continued SHOWS had
created an impression that the acreage and
yield of spring and winter wheat would be
much less than it was last year. Some of
the leading experts had placed the loss of
wheat at 100, 900 bushels. While
the result is not so unfavorable as
these more discouraging estimates, still
the crop report shows loss In win
ter wheat Of 77,000, 900 bushels, and cor
responding reduction in spring wheat. 1t is
TO be noted, however, that the decrease is
not uniform; that ON the Pacific Coast for
instance, there is gain of fifteen points in
California and seventeen points In Oregon,
but on the whole the Agricultural De-
partment report seems TO confirm the gloomy
Views which have been entertained BY
many.

MONTREAL, May Q.
Thirty years ago the parents of a boy
named Demers, nine years old, died, and
left him under the care of his mother
brother, named Durand, hotel-keeper here
In short time the lad mysteriously disap-
peared, and all inquiries failed to give the
slightest trace Of what became Of him. He
was given up as lost until Saturday last,
when a man of dark complexion and
middle age entered Durand's Hotel and
made the disclosure that he is the
representative of the missing boy
He has given such absolute proofs OF
identity as to satisfy his uncle. His history
as given by himself Is like a romance He
declares that while returning from store
he was sent to on an errand he was kid
naped by an American planter from Ten
nessee, who took him there and made him
work with the slaves until the war broke
out, when he joined the Confederate army
and made the full campaign. Since the war
ended, he says, he has been acting as a
trader in the South. 1t is strange story,
but his relatives seem to place implicit con-
fdence in it. The uncle is wealthy and has
no family.

Last night man named w. Graham was
put in the lock up at the Sunset depot. Ora
ham appears to have objected to confinement
and conceived the brilliant idea Of burning
himself out. He therefore set fire to the lock
up, and but for the timely discovery Of the
fire he and an inebriate fellow prisoner would
probably have been burned to death. As it
is Graham got out to 60 as far as the bat
cave, and subsequently had another outing to
the county Jail, where he now lies on the
charge Of incendiArism.

THE " BOSS " CL0THleRS,
HE WANTED TO DANCE,
And Because He Could Not He shot Lou
Rummel, Jr.


And Because He Could Not He Shot Louis
Rummel, Jr.
Louis Rummel, IT,, young carpenter, gave
dance on Saturday night at his residence on
Pecos street, and the party had an enjoyable
time until midnight, when young Mexican
named Antonio Carilla and his friend Fran
cisco, entered the house while under the in
Huence OF liquor and wanted to join the dance.
Here matters became little mixed. On one
hand, It is claimed, that Rummel told the in
truder that 1t was a private dance and he
must leave. On the other hand, It is said,
that Carilla was thrown out Be this as II
may, when ordered or put out Carilla drew his
revolver and commenced firing at Rummel.
Three shots we're fred, and.Rummel was
wounded near the collar bone, but the wound,
although troublesome, is not thought to be
dangerous one.
The would-be murderer, Carilla, was ar
rested yesterday on a charge Of attempt to
kill and murder, and his friend as an accom-
plice. Carilla was shot through the hand,
and it is supposed that his wound was acct
dentally received from his own revolver.
This morning affidavits were made against
both prisoners, and they are now in the coun-
ty Jail.

Time and again have hack drivers and hack
owners been warned to paint the numbers Of
their hacks in large visible letters outside

defiance and the warning disregarded. This
morning. William Smith alias Martin, was
fined So for breaking the above ordinance.
Captain Karber made the arrest and stated he
could at first see no number, but on going up
to the hack he observed the number pasted
inside, but very small. Captain Hughes said
Martin had been notified before, and he had
not complied with the ordinance.

! Our community was startled latt {
night between eight and, nino o'clock
by W alarm of hrc. Tlio barn and
stables of our esteemed townsman and
merchant Mr.. j. II. Lupo were already
/ in flames. Ills mules and saddle-
horse we're saved only by great prompt
ness; all else was consumed, consisting
OF all his oats crop, 'rccchuy harvested,
somo corn, farming implements, etc.
Tho barn being new and of good,
solid timber, was slow to fall in. See
ing tho impossibility of saving it at
tention was given to tho caro- Of the
adjacent buildings. The largo shade
trees Intervening between the fire and
Mr.. Lupo's residence were q great pro-
lection. The untirinS vigilance of our
:citizeus and tho free and wise use Of
the axe and wet blankets controlled
he raging element. Three times DR..
,Arncttc's stables near by wcro on fire,
and sparks threatened his house. For
tunatcly tic air was still, or man could
not have saved the six residences so
crowded near the square.

fully aud chccrfully to save property.
Special ncntion must be made Of
Frank Davis, colorcd, who, by great
activity and some risk, cxtinguisfed q
burning tree, tho sparks from which
endangered the town. Tho cause of
the fire is generally supposed to have
been occidental. Mr.. Lupo's loss is
obout $3.50.
Much sympathy is felt for Captain
