tances to suit the variety, will yield about
twenty five per cent. more of grain and u still
larger per cent. of fodder than in checked
rows. But the result will vary If the corn is
planted too thinly in the drills. or if the stalks
are crowded together. The larger sorts must
have more space than the small nOrtheru Va
rieties; and the distance must vary with the
richness of the soil. The best general rule
is to plant the corn about twenty-five per
cent. thicker, with twenty-five per cent
more stalks TO the acre than if in hills When
the grain IS the chief object it should be thin
ner than if raising an abundant supply of
stalks for fodder is wanted.

States will he seen next year, and that
II will rapidly extend. The rumblings
are plainly heard, and there cannot be
much doubt of the intention to begin

in Texas this intention is quite appar-
eut, aud communities In need of rail
road facilities are jusIiiable in the
agitation being made by the hints here
and there thrown out Of the contem-
plated revival II is thought that the
Central will 20 forward from Albany

Formally Elected.

Grover Cleveland and Thomas a.
Hendricks were yesterday elected pres
ldent and vice-president OF the United
States, receiving 2l9 votes against 1872
for James G.. Blaine and John A.
Logan. We have been going upon
the assumption that the people Of this
country elected Cleveland and Hem
bricks on the 4th OF last month; but
this was only assumption. The peo-
pie only chose delegates as electors to
elect a president and vice-president.
A majority Of the electors inferentially
pledged TO vote for the Democratic can
dldates were chosen. They met yes
terday In their respective states aud
performed their official duties by for
mally casting their votes az they were
chosen TO do, and the result of their
balloting Is the election OF Cleveland
and Hendricks.
Nothing in the constitution or the
laws prevented the presidential elect
ors from voting for whomsoever they
chose. They might have elected any
man in the country, and only their
constancy to a tacit pledge and fidelity
to party caused 30 Of them to vote for
the Democratic candidate. While
much Ia said Of corruption in politics
and the use Of money In influencing
elections, it is an honorable fact that
no presidential elector has ever proven
recreant to his trust. With no legal
restraints binding their conduct or di-
reoting them TO vote for certain can
dldate, they have never violated the
moral obligation resting upon them of
voting for their party nominee. In
1875, when the vote stood 1856 for
Hayes and 1874 for Tllden, and
transfer OF one vote would have
changed the political complexion of
the government for four years, the
electors stood true 10 their trusts and
voted for men whom they were not le-
gally bound to vote for. Nobody
thought Of trying TO buy one OF them

The bonds have never been delivered,
and yesterday the council decided that
unless the contract is complied with in

works. The reason why the company
does not comply with It's contract is
that no agreement can be reached with

A FIENDIsH HUSBAND.
A Young Wife Stabbed in the Eyes
with an Anvil.

NEW YORK, Nov. IS --One of the
most horrible cases of brutality that
has appeared on the police records of
this city for years occurred this morn
ing at 4lO East Eighteenth street.
Between l2and / a, m. the neighbors
heard John McCarron and his wife,
Martha, quarreling. He was jealous
and taxed her with unwifely conduct.
The wrangle was ended by the hus-
band choking the wife into submis-
sion and smothering her reprOaches.
At o'clock he awoke her by dragging
her out of bed by her hair, letting the
one-month-old baby fall from her
arms to the floor.
The whole tenement house was
aroused and listening to the fracas.
Get up and get my breakfast they
heard him say. Then there was the
sound OF u kick, followed by groan
Then came shrek and struggle.
He was trying to gouge his wife's eyes
out, but the Deighbors did not know
that. McOarron went TO his work and
Mrs. McCarron revived and went about
her work. When he came home at
noon he was still under the influence
of liquor.
"Where's my dinner ~ he said.
"My eyes have been so bad that /
could not see my way across the room
to get lt ready she replied.
"NOur eyes,n said he, with an oath.

81 am almost blind, John; be easy
with me, che pleaded
Then he threw her TO the floor and
kicked her brutally, she screaming all
the time, but bringing no assistance.
| When the poor woman was PROSTATE
and almost insensible, McCarron took
3 shoe-maker's awl from his pocket and
drove it full length into her eyes. She
again became unconscious, and while in
that condition he pulled all the hair out
of her head. Then he went out Ia
work again.
The neighbors, hearing no sound
from her, ventured into her apart
ments and seeing her condition called
an officer, who sent Tor nm ambulance
in which the suffering woman was
taken TO Bellevue hospital, where she
now lies, blind and in great agony
When the police entered the apart
ments they found the fOur-weeks'-old
baby on the floor, covered with the
mothers blood, and the six.year ole
