THE CROP REPORTS
Show the Years Production an
Ample One.
Statements of Spectators to the Contrary
Notwithstanding, Some Grain
Yields the Largest foi
Years.

New YORK. October l9.--The Tribune
says: The October report of the Agricul.
tural Bureau is rather discouraging to
those who labored so hard to whittle down
the crop OF 1885 in order to push up the
price. Only a week ago the Produce
Exchange Weekly published elaborate cal
culations TO prove that the wheat crop
must be over So ,OOO,OOO bushels less than
the bureau estimate of September lst, but
now comes the October report, embracing
averages
Based on Recorded Results
OF thrashing in the different States, and
stating that "the final average of yield will
not ditIer much from IL 3 bushels per acre.
The aggregate will exceed 4OO,OOO,OOO bush
els, and may reach 42O,OO00O0." The re-.
port of September 1st estimated yield Of
Al, ,24O, ,595, and the latest returns do not
seem 10 warrant any material departure
from that estimate.
Moreover, we have the detailed state
ment Of injury to the corn crop by the
frOsts of September, which interested par
ties insist would reduce the yield to / 100.
0Ol OOO or 800, 600, 900 bushels. The Oili.
cial return, after giving the averages Of
condition fer the different Statesr- says:
The
Product of the Year
will be close to l,GOO, 100000 bushels, with
more soft corn than last year, mostly in
regions that consume their entire crop"
The largest crops ever grown were little
over 700, 600 600 bushels; the crop OF 1882
has been exceeded only twice, and the crop
of 1883 exceeds that by per cent. in acre.
sge, but falls below il 5 per cent. in condi-
ton. There can be no doubt, II these re-
turns are correct, that the country has
available, with its large surplus from last
year, more wheat and corn than it has ever
yet been able to sell and consume in a
single year.
The oat crop is altogether the
Largest Ever Grown.
the bureau report making it about ,l,OjO,-
Gee6e,rf 7ju,o gGa ,N0r'ev crop will average
more than that of lasCySJ.aIa +" tho
nearly $1,000, 600 bushels, also the largest
ever grown. The potato crop is officially
reported as in better condition than in any
wear since 1875, and the prospect IS favor
able for a large yield. IL may be added,
also, that the estimated yield OF cotton is
100000 bales, which, though less than the
WELD Cf last year, has been only twice eX'
cseded.
With an abundant supply Of all the great
staples, this country ought presently TO
Free Itself From the EmbRrraSSments
which attend business. The chief impedi-
ment to rapid recovery is the excessive
speculation in products, which constantly
interfere with their natural distribution
and makes industry too dependent upon
the result Of gambling operations in few

Demands Attention.

what Branch OF the State Department
Demands Attention.
WASHINGTON, 0:tober l9--The Secretary
Of State has addressed letter to the Secre.
tary of the Civil Service Commission in re-
ply to the inquiry as to what branch Of
the service in the several bureaus of the
State Department will require special ex-
animation for admission. He says, quoting
ex.Secretary Fish, that the clerical forcs
in the department is small, and should have
the personal confidence OF the head OF the
department, knowledge of international
law and practical familiarity OF many for
eign languages. A power OF reticence is
also a requisite which is ascertained only
by test, experience or intimate personal
knowledge of the party and cannot be de.
termined by. any examination by boar !.
The secretary then goes on to say that 1t
is necessary that most of the clerks OF the
Department of State should have at least
sufficient knowledge of one or more foreign
languages to read them in the original
documents as received. Nevertheless it
is not absolutely necessary that every clerk
should have this qualification, as his abil-
ity in other directions may more than
compensate for its ,ck, but it is always
necessary that at least twenty employees OF
this department. shoulG. have . fair knowl-
edge Cf either French, German, Spanish or
Italian. Under this circumstance he sug
gests that special examination be given to
all applicants.

HANGMAN'S DAY.
Three MurtererS ReCsiYs the
Highest Punishment.
Hoyey Goes From His Cell 20 the ScaffoId
and Then Into the Unk0own-A
Ray;sher and a Child Mur-
dereSs on the GalIOws.

NLw York, October 19.-Edwsrd HDvey,
the slayer Of his si,ter-in-lsw Mrs. Fannie
Yermilyea, was duly hanged this morning
in the Tombs prison yard. The murderer's
last night was spent very restlessly. He
| moved around on his cot frequently dur
irg the night, and seemed entirely unab e
TO compose himself for sleep. He arose
this morning early, and was visited by his
spiritual adviser and lawyer, the latter to
wish him good bye. Hovey, in the langu-
age of one of the deputy sheritfs, looked
More Dead Than AIiYe
when he rose to dress himself" Every
thing possible was done to cheer him up,
but the efforts in this direction had but
very little impression on him.
When his breakfast, consisting of rolls,
coffee and eggs, was brought to him,
Hovey dragged his chair in a perfunctory
way toward the little table upon which the
meal was placed and seated himself with
deep drawn sigh. He quietly surveyed the
food for a moment, and then drawing back
from the table, said he could eat nothing.
Father Durangeul, the Rev. Mr.. Gilbert
and the deputy warden finally prevailed
upon
HOVeJ 30 Attempt so Fat,
They succeeded in inducing him to sip the
coffee, but they could not get him to do
any more.
Soon after rising he had been given a
dose Of chlOral, and he now wanted whisky.
In view of his condition it was agreed that
he should have some stimulant before be-
ing led to the gallOws. At I o'clock the
sbheeqftf 5 .Gs.Bgties had .afFEi .afFEiyea. HEADED by
These formed square around the scatfOld.
The Sheriff imme edlately entered the PRISON,
and proceeding TO the condemned mans
cell
Read the Death Warrant to Him.
At the conclusion of the reading the exc
cutioner and his assistants pinioned the
murdrrsr'S arms and the procession TO the
scafIold was formed. 1t was headed by
Sheriff Davidson and his under sheriff.
HoTey was grasped on either side by dep.
uty sheriffs and more or less supported
along the route.
The murderer was dressed in black suit
hut wore TO collar. The hangman lost no
time IN completing his work. The moment
Hoyey was placed under the scattold he
tied his legs and then, after few parting
words between
The Unfortunate Man
and his spiritual adviser, drew the black
cap over his face, adjusted the moose and
quicker than it takes to tell cut the rope
and HOyey was launched into eternity at
exactly 80 A. NJ. As the body rebounded
from. the Cross piece the hands and legs be-
came rigid with muscular contraction; the
hands turned blue. In afew minutes the
last outward signs Of life were manifested
in the struggling body At $40 A. NJ he
was pronounced dead and shortly after the
toly was lowered into the coffin and turned
over 10 his friends.

evening passed and there was no wedding.
The family has now declared that the mar.
