A warm rain fell the greater part of Satur-
day night, which caused quantity Of the
snow to disappear from the face Of the earth,
and on Monday morning the sun shone ont
brightly and the weather became warm, and
many supposed winter had ''broken, but in
short ,ins the wind came out fresh from the
northwest, bringing the cold wave with it
and dispelled all such suppostious. The wind
continued with more or less force during that
d,y and night and the earth, which had be-
come soft and slushy, was again frozen hard,
and about two inehes of ice formed on the
creeks river, &C. Since then the weather has
been clear, and though the temperature has
risen, it still continues cool though seasonable

CIarks orthe Circutt Court.

The Baltimore Sun almanac for 1888 is in
error in saying that the clerks of the circuit
courts for the several counties will be elected
next November. They were elected in Novem-
Der 1879 for six years, consequently they will
not be elected again until the year 1885. We
have also noticed that some of our exchanges
have made the same mistake.

The Senator and Mrs. Fair Have Very
Lift e to saw

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 9-Thc
Fair divorce case is the absorbing topic on tho
| streets. Public sympathy appears on the side
of Mrs. Fair, the mother of the senator's four
children. Hopes are freely expressed that the
court will grant the mothers demands-expen-
SEES, control of the children $4,000, 600 in cash,
and 81, 0C0 in property
The senator, when interviewed, acknowl-
edged knowing that his wife was bringing suit,
but would defend the case, characterizing the
allegations vile lies having no more founda-
ton than the story of his eldest son shooting
him.
Mrs Fair being informed that the senator
proposed to contest the case, expressed sur
prise, and asked "Did Senator Fair say any,
thing about me-"
Learning he had not, she replied: @Then
also have nothing to say"
Sh8 declined reclting the inducing her
to make the demand for divorce: but having
made up her mind she was bound to carry the
matter through.
WASHINGTON, May 9-The news of
the divorce suit between Senator Fair and his
wife attracted little surprise In Washington.

it has been rumored that they did not live
happily. A congressman who claims to know

Tisad at the suit He had known for a long
time that Mr. and Mrs. Fair did not live hap

accused her husband of ntdelity. The seI.a-

on most any terms. When asked whether it

An Ugly kSmnOr.

Ell PAso, Tex, May 9.-Runors were
circulating yesterday of disaster to Gen.
Crook They came by dispatch over Mexican
government wires, and were said to have
been sent after Ait Gen. Drum, now en- route
to Fort Wingate New Mexico. Inquiries hav
been pushed all day 20 ascertain facts with the
following result: Col. Unda chief of the staff to
Gen. Eyero, opened communication with Gen
Riegera at chihuahua. Gen Riegera replied
that he had no definite information of the at
tack. The Mexican force in the field is /, 900
cavalry, in two columns which ought to be
near enough to Crook to support him il in ur-
gent need. Mexican officers here do not dis
guise their serious anxiety. Col linda is max
ing every preparation to push forward him
self at oncea probably to the neighborhood OF
Junos.
1t is feared from minor facts that have
come to hand that Gen. Crook has moved
some DAYS earlier than anticipated in
Sonora. lie may not have been able to receive
ys5 the full cooperation expectsl, and
which Is snre to be realized The Rexican
officers all recognize now that the Apache force
mas probably been moderated. They do not
have that confidence which Crook possess 3 in
Apache scents who are with him, and nothing
could he heartfef more earnest than the
feeling displayed by the Mexican ofticera.
They do not believe there is immediate danger,
but still fear Crook is in dangerous position

principally the shorts, while there were
renewed indications of the pool selling wheat
After very unsatisfactory and dubious morn
ing the market closed uncertain this noon at
about Sl.1613(6D1. 163s, but the hand of the
clique showed itself more clearly again on
the call In the interim between the morning
session and the call wheat broke down to 155S
and sold further down to 1.I535 on the call
which latter figure is about the closing for the
day 1t has been apparent for several days
that the pool was trying to break prices with
the view of shaking off the army
of followers and of replacing their sales at
lower figures. The attack on the market which
was made this afternoon may carry us down
further tomorrow, but will remind our
friends that the crop prospects dis

will be but temporary and that the weak spots
which will now offer themselves will
be good to buy on. Corn some

A Terrible Future.

A famous English statistician has re-
Gently been drawing a dismal picture
Of the future of the human race He
says population is increasing SO rapidly
that consumption will soon oyertake
production, and that great suffering will
result. In former times wars, pesti-
lences and famincs put check to the
increase OF population, and permitted
the raising OF sufficient food to supply
those who survived these calamitfes
Twelve millions of the people of Great
Britain are absolutely dependent on food
grown in other parts of the world; there
would be starvation in Germany were it
not for the large emigration. France
alone has discovered the secret of limit
ing her population, but it is at the ex-
pense of the morals of large sections of
the community. The troubles in Rus
STA are due, in great'part to the taking
up of all arabic land in that country, for
the population has increased there pro-
digiously during the last half-century
But in no country is there such multi
plication of human beings as in the Uni
ted States. Ii we increase in the future
rs we have in the past. we shall have
hundred millions of people early in the
twentieth century, two hundred millions
by 1925. and eight hundred millions by
1879. The country win then be more
densely populated than is China, and
the standard of comfort will be lowered
as the price of land goes up, while the
working classes will be subject to the
most distressing privauons. In India
to-day the increase of inhabitants is so
rapid that the government is. appalled,
and does not know what to do. 1t is
trying to increase the amount of arabic
land by great irri2aling works, We. the
population increases at the rate of one
million per annum, and the multi
plication OF human beings is more rapid
than the additions to food production
