ATROCIOUS VILI.AINY.
The Mutt Family at Uniontown, Pa,
Poisoned by N. L. Dukes
Friends.
Uniontown pal special. ]

Intense excitement has been caused here
by the discovery of an atrocious attempt
to take the lives of the members of the
Mutt family. The well from which the
supply of water was drawn was poisoned
by some unknown miscreant Two of the
young ladies are already dead and other
members of the family are dying. AS far
as can be ascertained, there is no apparent
motive for the deliberate crime, and all eff
forts made thus far TO trace the persons en-
gagged in the horrible affair have proved
a. signal failure. The first intinnation
of the coming horror was the an
nouncement last evening of the sudden
death of Miss Annie Mutt sister of Miss
Lizzie Mutt, whose betrayal by y. L. Dukes
was followed by the tragic death of the
young girls father, and subsequently of
Dukes, who was shot by James Mutt. This
evening Miss Nellie Mutt, another of the
sisters, expired. and news of her deeth was
quickly circulated through the town, intensi-
flying public opinion over the horrifying
revelations. The water in the we'll is
being analysed, and the people are
awaitin with intense anxiety the result
of the examination. In the absence of any
known motive for the crime the story Of
the Mutt scandal and the events following it
are being excitedly discussed, and although
there may be no truth in it the theory is
advanced that some friend of Dukes has
resorted to this disagreeable act to avenge
his killing by the brother of Miss Lizzie
Mutt. Young James Mutt, the avenger of
his sisters honor, who is at home, and also
his sister Lizzie, were both made i'll, but
their condition is not ritical.

Report of the Condition Of the
Crops in Europe.
Washington dispatch.l

The report of the Commissioner Of Agri-
culture for September has just been issued.
1t gives very interesting report on the con-
dition of the crops in Europe, india and
other foreign countries.
In Europe, as compared with last year,
the barley and oat acreages have fallen of
$40 per cent and $40 per cent,
respectively. and the slight gain of "a per
cent III wheat has no significance beyond
the fine condition of the land in the last
sowing season.
A dispatch to London from Calcutta ex-
presses the opinion that India will be able
to export $4,000, 900 bushels of wheat 10
foreign countries this year. The Commits
sioner observes that the increase of exports
from India fiom a few hundred thousand
bushels per annum ten TO twenty years ago
to 81, 148, $40 bushels in 1882. and
80, 127, OF bushels of sixty pounds for
1884 (year ended March 81, has excited
the attention of the wheat growing coun-
tries. It is known that India comes near
TO France and Russia in the volume of
wheat production, and that these countries
have only one out-ranldng compettor-the
United States Of America.
The Commissioner speaks of the folly of
attempting to feed the nations of the
earth" He says: THE area in wheat is now
80, 580, 0C0 acres, and 100000 acres are
cultivated in excess of the wants Of the
country. the produce Of which must be
sold abroad, mainly in Liverpool in compe
tition with the grain of Russia, of South
America, of Austria and of India. 1t
is sent 1900 miles by land and 5000
miles by sea, and from California
more than half round the world
to compete with the half-civilized
fellahs of Egypt and the slaves of India.
1t is q competition unworthy of American
freemen, and utterly unnecessary, being
caused by bad calculation in the distribu-
ton Of crop areas, for while we export one
third of the wheat production We import
one seventh of all the barley consumption
and 800, 000, 600 worth of sugar at foreign
valuation, which brings $3.50, 600 in our
local markets, in addition to the costs and
profits of refining here"

John +. Henry. Of New York. President of,

at the Grand Pacific. He came direct from
New York, and is en- route TO California on per-
sonal business, as he claims. In speaking Of
the Butler canvass, he said: We organized
in 1882, and in 1888 we propose electing our
President Anti Monopolists are in general
poor men. They have not the means to put
into the campaign to run 1t as other parties run
their organizations. Butler has the money to
put into 1t, but he feels the uncertainty of cleo
ton to be too great this year to do 80. In New
York City we viii poll vote OF 10000, including
Kings County. In the State we VIII poll 100 900
votes. We expect to carry Massachusetts. We
will also elect the fusion ticket in Michigan.

Gen Butler spoke on the grounds of the Lewis
County fair to great crowd He was well re-

Il want to be just TO all parties. / have been
in them all, know all their good and all their

sincerity that the mass Of the people who COM
pose all parties are honest lovers OF their coun-
try, who would do il no wrong n they knew 10,
nor would they suffer any wrong to be done IL.
There are honest men in all parties,
and as many In proportion to their
numbers in one as in another, and IL IL ever APP
pears there are more dishonest men in one
party than in another, it is because that party
is in power under temstation and to that party
the rascals are attracted. lLaughter.J Cen
Butler then talked OF the Republican party and
the Democratic party, and said: The Re-
publican party is the party OF monopoly be-
cause monopoly has gone to them. But enough
monopoly has stayed in the Democratic party
to make it of no consequence which party wins.
