The weather up to the middle OF
June vas most discouraging in some re-
spects. More than half the time it was
cold, rainy and dismal. The only re-
lieying feature is, that wheat made good
progress, and that other things were
only set back and destroyed. June re-
creations were at discount and the
lakes were decidedly unattractive to
anybody but fishermen, who were OBJ
livious to anything but their Strings

The Second Dukes-Nutt Tragedy

Inc otCOud DuhcS-Nutb 1EdSeuy.
Uniontown, Pa, special: The coroner's
Jury in the Dukes case recently resumed its
investigation, only one witness testifying.
Policeman Pegg testified that
He was standing on fremont corner when
he heard a shot fired. Wftress looked
around and saw Dakes leaving the corner
of Pittsburg street when the shot was fired.
As he looked into the postoffice door Mutt
shot again. There were five shots fred be-
fore officer Pegg made the arrest. John R.
Wilson testified as to standing in front of
the postoffice, and after the shots were fred
witness saw man coming around the cor
ner and another after b N; went to the
postoffice door and saw Dukes lying on the
floor.
The testimony of Lucius Martin was cor
roborative of the above, as was that of half
dozen other witnesses who followed. DIR.
w. a. Sturgeon was examined regarding
Dukes wounds.
The jury retired and in few minutes re-
turned with q verdict that Nicholas l..
Dukes came to his death from wounds re-
eeiyed from revolver fired in the hands of
James Mutt. From good authority, it is
said that Dukes met young Mutt on the
street and laughed in his face in a sneering
manner, and thus himself precipitated the
tragedy. The trial it is thought will take
place al the September term OF the court.
As Nuts offense is not bailaple, he will
have to remain in prison until that time
In an interview tonight his mother said she
had entreated him over and over again to
promise he would never assail Dukes, but
while listening patiently, he never signifed

Referring to the recent seizure by the
government at New York of - packages
scented Caper teas, and the stoppage by
the New York board of health of a sale
of 1000 pkgs Piugsuey teas, 1000 pkgs
of which belonged to Boston firm and
the remainder to an English syndicate,
the Boston Commercial Bulletin says
"'that the United States has been the
dumping ground of all the poor, refuse
and adulterated teas from China and
Japan" because the English law pro-
hibits the importation fsuch stuff into
Great Britain. What is still more re-
rnarkable is the statement that an Eng
fish syndicate imports most of this trash
into the United States, 1t is purchased
in the primary markets at small cost,
and wholesaIed in New York and else
teas are nut on the market through the
auction rooms and gift tea stores. The
result is the consumption of great deal
of cheap and poor teas to the exclusion
of good teas. 1t is now very difficult to
get pure teas. The Boston Bulletin says
that there is no tea in the American
market that is as good in quality as it
was six years ago. To give these ocd
teas handsome color they are stuore
terated with soap. Prussian blue and
Gypsum and Indigo. Spurious, exhausted
and rotten leaves are also turned in
Even the poor natives refuse to use this
trash. The new law, it is estimated, will
exclude from 100000 900 to 100000 lbs.
adulterated teas annually. The con-
sumption of tea in the United States is
estimated to be about 65, 100000 lbs. per
annum, though about 100000 lbs. was
imported last year. If the proportion
of poor teas be as large as represented,
the new law has not gone into effect any
too soon. We shall get better tea here
after, and the consumption will be
larger. England uses more tea per cap
tia than the United States, and yet it is
alleged that England takes only good
teas

A Rancho Larger Than Rhode
Island.
From the Galveston News.

FIOul Tic 0dANCceOh AfCHos
The largest rancho in Texas is that o.
Charles Goodnight, located at the head
of Red river. He began buying land
four years ago, securing go, 900 acres at
thirty-five cents an acre. In the mean
time the price has advanced from 81 to
81 per acre, but he is still buying and
now controls 100000 acres. To inclose
bis landed possessions $50 miles of fenc-
ing is required. Mr.. Goodnight has a
heard of 10000 cattle. When it is con-
sidered that the who'll state of Rhode
Island contains only 674, ga acres, it will
be seen what an immense amount Of
land this mans possessions cover. Mil
Ter & Lux own as much land in this state
as Mr.. Goodnight does in Texas. They
have 600, 600 acres in San joaquin valley
alone.

and his speech was pointed. He spoke
truthful words when he said all the old
