CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The statement is pub
lished here that John Mccullough, the TRACE
dian, has not been informed that all his en-
gagements have been cancelled. After re-
hearsal Tuesday afternoon, he was shown q
letter from McVicker in which his illness and
consequent inability TO do himself justice
were specified as the reasons for closing the
house. The actor was lying down at the
time. but rose, dressed himself, and in com
pany with his manager, went TO McVicker's
residence. He was angry at first, but Mr..
vincing him that the action he had taken
was best, and the tragedian returned to his
hotel and accepted the situation. He sup
posed, however, that the performances were
TO be resumed at Detroit, the next place on
the route, and nothing was said to disabuse
him of hts error. A careful watch was kept
upon him all night and all day. Early yes
terday he read what the newspapers had To
say about him, and in the afternoon he went
to the fremont house and told Miss Tracy lie
intended TO go 10 Detroit at once. She
persuaded him to wait till evening. Shortly
before I p. IN. he ordered is carriage sent to
the depot and proceeded thither himself.
His friends With held his baggage and two
Pinkert0ns followed him. They found him
walking up and down the platform with Miss
Tracy, and in apparently a calm frame OF
mind. By little strategy Mr.. Brooks, his
manager, induced him 10 enter q carriage
and was driven back 10 the hotel where be
arrived very excited and angry. He strug-
gled desperately and struck Brooks with his
cane. Another scene followed in inducing
him to reach his room Miss Tracy followed
him to the hotel crying convulsively, but she
succeeded in calming the actor and bringing
him To realize that he was not in condition

Especial Correspondence of the Globe.l
ADRIAN, Mimi, Sept 20.-We are gratifed to
learn that the GLOBE representative who visited
this place last week, secured goodly number of
subscribers here.
The frequent rains are retarding threshing
somewhat. Now that the farmers have succe eded
in getting the large crops grown in this section
either stacked or into market, business Is re-
viying, and general prosperous feeling prevails
This has been an exceptionally good year for
farmers, and as We in the towns are depend
ent upon the farmers, we may hope to reap
portion of the benefit of their prosperity.
All the crops are good 1t is true the price OF
| wheat is low, but the quality is good and the
yield per acre is large. Oats and barley are both
| very good this year. Pasturage has been excel
lent during the entire season, and stock will start
| into the winter in good condition. There has
| been more than the usual amount of hay put up
| in good shape. The corn crop will compare
| favorably with that of Iowa or Illinois. We have
had no frosts yet to damage either corn or pas
| lures But it is the flax crop more than any
other that is ''helping OUT the farmers in this
| section. The average is unusually large; the
yield is good and it is bringing good price.
There has been from $500 TO 81, 200 per day paid
| out here for flax alone during the past two
weeks, and it is still coming in rapidly
! This abundant harvest will enable our farmers
| ing and make needed improvements, besides pro-
viding the necessarles, comforts and some of the
| luxuries of life for themselves and families.
Our merchants realizing the situation, and an
anticipating good trade have filed their stores
and warehouses with large stocks of goods which
! they have bought ut prices which enable them
| to sell lower than ever before.
| Money is becoming plenty, accounts run dur
ing summer are being paid, clothing and supplies
are going out and everybody is happy except per-
haps the ultra politician who affects to think that
unless his candidates are elected hard times are
| in store for us.

absence of frost. This is the FIRST September
that has passed without frost since 1870. Last
year the frst frost occurred on the 18th. The
water deposit also unusually large being one
and three-quartcr inches above the average OF

cupied by j. II. Long & Co., on the corner of
Second and Walnut streets, repairing leak, an
explosion occurred which shook things up in that
