First ward, but did not succeed.
The Mayor this morning had several
colored persons before him for trial but con-

The money is being circulated entirely by
colored persons, and it is supposed that it
was brought here by some of them who have
recently returned from Pennsylvania The
testimony given was of very conflicting
character but enough was learned to show
that a considerable sum of the spurious
money is in the city and that a systematic
effort is being made to get it in circulation.
Coats has not been found, and it is thought
he has left the city.

ALEXANDRIA THROUGH BosToN SpEcrA.
CLEs.-The editor Of the Ne,c Eaqlaad Jour-
nal Of Education says, in the last number OF
that journal, writing of his late visit to this
place:
a late visit to the little city of Alexan-
dria, Va, with Il day spent in its public
schools, was a noteworthy incident of the
winter. After the general depreciation of
this ancient burgh as . dead locality" it
was pleasant to find it very decidedly alive,
at least in the spirit. intelligence, and earn
estness Of its school officials and teachers.
The city is now larger. than ever before. in
many respects attractive, and by no means
unlikely to become important on its own
account, as well as a favorite suburb of the
National Capital. The superintendent,
Professor Carne,is interchangeable in his efforts
to improve the schools, and the leading cit
iZens of the place seem deeply interested in
MS Work. One ofthe interesting features of
the place is boys public school, founded
by Washington and still partly supported
by the income of the fund left for its estab-
lishment. Alexandria is rich in historical
memorials, and no visitor at Washington
should neglect to give day to place so
full OF memorials of the past"

NEwBURGH, n. Y, Mar %.
The Orange co lnty milk war has extended
to Newburgh The milk boat began her
trips last night and was at once visited by
committees of the striking farmers who
wanted the owner of the boat to take four
cents per quart for the milk he received and
allow them to dump it in the river. He de-
clined and the police prevented the farmers
from taking any other proceedings. Roughs
emplo Jed for the purpose have attempted to
Intercept the milk before it reached the city
yesterday and today, and where the boat
took about $50 cans from Newburgh last
night it took but Al today. The stoppage of
three wagons from the Montgomery cream

cry was with the wagons and beat off the at
lacking party with an ice pike, only loseing
the tail-b of one wagon and six cans of
milk. One of the attacking party was hurt
by the pike, which was stained with blood
when Jordan reached here. A more deter
mined effort was to have been made to re-
lieve some OF the wagons of their loads to-
day, put Jordan concluced to make tonight's
shipments by the Erie railroad. The milk
is said to have reached Montgomery after
desperate fight with spillers, in which one man
is said to have been injured. Some of the
creameries are threatening to suspend opera
tons until the trouble is over, and farmers
from this side of the river are said to be try
ing to induce the producers in Duchess
county to join them in the strike.

The milk dealers around New York
having struck Tor small increase in the
price of the tactical fluid and been refused
by the middlemen in the city. have re-
sorted to the heroic method of destroying
their milk in order to bring their custo-
mers to terms. Milk has flowed freely
in the streets of Goshen for several days,
and some of the farmers who have attempt
ed to sell at the old rate have been pretty
roughly used by the strikers. If this cruel
war continues any length of time the sub
urbs of New York will present milky
way of respectable proportions.

CROP REPORTS.
The Wheat Crop Will Fall Below asi
Years Yield.

CINCINNATI, Mar %.
The Price Current publishes an elaborate
report of the condition of the wheat crop
throughout the winter wheat belt of the west
A comparison with that of last year placed
at ten per cent, shows the present condition
to be as follows: Ohio, 81; Indiana, 80 ;
Illinois, 80; Missouri. 93 Kansas, 81; Mich
igan, sc; Kentucky, 20; Tennessee SO. The
winter wheat section of Wisconsin promises
well, the general average being about ten
per cent below that of last year. The spring
wheat section of Minnesota, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin and Nebraska, show no essential change
in area as compared with last year. The
Price Current notes that an impairment Of
the winter wheat prospect may be modified
or made worse by future favorable or unfav-
orble weather. 1t is hardly reasonable to
look for crop equal to last years estimates.
This years crop may fall below $50, 00O, 900
bushels or $4,000, 900 bushels, less than last
year.

The East Hartford Tragedy.

HARTFORD, Conn Mar %.
The coroner's jury, investigating the cause
of the death of the Misses Judson of East
Hartford, held secret session last evening
and rendered verdict that the women were
murdered. Brooks johnson, the negro under
arrest on suspicion. will be held for exami-
nation before the justice in East Hartford on
Thursday Of next week. The conviction
grows that johnson was concerned in the
murder. Some of the statements he has
made about his whereabouts on the night of
the tragedy prove to be false. He may have
had accomplices. Henry Judson of Chicago,
brother of the murdered women, is here do
ing all he can to find the guilty party.
