Two Millions OF His C0st1u1ers' Money
Keep Him Company
WASHINGTON, May 2l.--Geo. F. Lewis, a
broker doing business at No. 629 F street,
has been missing from his place of bust
ness since Monday morning, and up to
this time nothing has been heard of his
whereabouts. He has been doing large
and successful business in tetroleum; and
has perhaoe the largest clientage of any
Broker in the city, embracing many bust
ness men and large numbtr of govern
ment clerks. 1t is said that over 500 per-
sons are involved as customers, and it is
estimated that he has in his hands from
81, ,00Q, ,0p9 to 90 00G, 600 belonging to them.
Lefis's l'iends express confidence in him,
and say he is only off on spree, and will
return when he gets sober. The nature
and extent OF the business done by Lewis,
however, has given rise to many
ugly reports, such as naturally follow his
prolonged. absence. He began business
here last JHne, and has coldueted what is
kn5wn as a syndicate business Customers
left margins with him, but he Bought and
sold at his cwn, discretion, accounting to
the customer for profits when accounts
were asked. The success of his specula--
tons has been So wonderful that it has
aroused suspicion since his departure from
the city. He has paid profits on deposits
left with him amounting in many cases to
more than fifty per cent. a month. At.
tracted by the reports of phenomenal
profits, many persons have come forward
with their money, and some of them say
tonight they think the investment Is &
permanent one,

CROP REPORT
OF the State fer the Month Of April
The Prospects Excellent.

The report of Commissioner McWhirter
for April is based upon 500 reports from
ninetv-four counties. The weather was
very unfavorable until the middle of
March, but began rapidly to improve
about April 1st. The wheat crop is very
good in all parts of the State, the acreage
largely increased and the yield improved
by the iudicious use of fertilizers. The
prospects for an abundant crop are excel.
lent. Complaining was delayed several
weeks by unfavorable weather, and the
outlook is not encouraging. The acreage
OF clover has been increased, but crops on
the level lands were severely injured.
About the middle of the month the
prospect for a good crop was excellent.
There seems to be growing disposition
to plant less cotton and more grass. The
rye and barley acreage are both below
last year. The unusually severe winter,
followed by the cold, wet spring, had a
very serious effect on the condition OF
stock of all kinds, cattle especially, which
are now scarce and in demand. The con-
dition of horses and mules is below that
of last year, and prices are generally high.
Buffalo gnats have destroyed large mum.
ber of horses and mules, especially in the
river counties. The condition of hogs is
more favorable, but the dogs have
made considerable inroads on sheep
Notwithstanding the backward spring and
the delay in farming operations, farmers
are generally cheerful, and are working
rapidly and gradually getting up with the
work of the season. The financial condi-
ton is reported good in most sections
In some farm hands are scarce Abut reports
indicate that laborers are doing well iu
nearly every portion of the State. Every.
thing points to a prosperous year.

fhe Kind of Democrat to Tie to-He is
Opposed to TempOrizing or COmprO-
missing.
The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier Journal says: Senator
Harris, OF Tennessee, is the kind of man
to lie to. Hear how he talked when asked
by a reporter about tie Presidential pref
erences of the Democrats of his State:
"The sentiment" he said, "as learn it
from others Il have been away from Ten
nessee 50 long by reason of my duties at
Washington is somewhat mixed. There
are great many Democrats in the State
who believe that justice and a sound re-
gard for the right demand the nomination
OF the old ticket, as its vindication but
think large majority OF the Democrats
are in favor OF the nomination of Joe Nc
Donald, OF Indiana. For the second place
on the ticket there is no drift, and l am
decidedly in favor of Mr.. Mcdonald, and
the reasons that satisfy me of his eminent
qualifications for the place are, first, that
| have personally known him since 1 first
entered Congress. We were in the lower
House together and in the Senate. In all
that period / have never known him to
falter or desert cardinal principle of the
Democratic party. / had rather make a
contest on clean-cut, well defined, sterling
principle and be defeated than to succeed
in an election by temporizing, compro-
missing or deserting principle"
"What do you regard as cardinal Dem
ocratic principle? ?"
az think, myself, there are at the present
time two great principles of paramount
Importance. One is the maintenance of
the doctrine OF strict construction, which
| have always been taught is, and have
believed to be, the party doctrine. mean
that strict construction which would con-
fine the action of Congress strictly to the
powers contided to it by the constitution,
and equal in Importance and intimately
connected with it is the revenue question.
l have always been and am still an earnest
advocate OF the doctrine of tariff for
revenue only, and for such an amount of
revenue only as may be necessary to sup
port the government economically admin
istered, when aided to the legitimate in
ternal revenue from whisky and tobacco.
l should o. opose the repeal OF the tax on
these luxuries which bring us Sl4,000,00O
annually, and would reinforce it with a
revenue Tariff

RELIGIOUS RECORD.

&, VItKsBURa, Miss, Nav 2l.-Iu the
Presbyterian General Assembly the for
eign mission fep6ft was to the elect that
the cause is in Importance second to none:
Those most active in extending the bless
ings OF the gospel througout the world
enjoy in the largest measure spiritual in
hnence; and are correspondiIgly effective
in the prosecution Of home work for
Christ. The report. expresses a hope
that in the providence of God
way may be opened for the
formation of one Presbyterian church
in each mission field. This re
fers to the cooperation of the Northern
and Southern Presbyterian Churches in
foreign fields. The Rsv DR.. Pobbs, chair
man, made an interesting rep1rt on theo-
logical seminaries, commencing the dill
gence of the directors of Columbia Semi
nary and the special efforts OF the board
to suppress error. This refers to
the views of one of the profe- so,s on
the theory of evolution That por-
ton OF the report was docketed. Tie
report OF tie Committee on Sabbath
Schools shows a Considerable increase.
A minute expressive OF the feelings OF the
assembly on the death of Cyrus III. Nc
Cormick, one of the constant benefsctors
of the Church, was adopted. A resolution
was adopted that while individual mem
ters OF church courts may prosecute vio-
lators of civil law relating to the Sabbath,
s1ch courts in their organized capacity
have no right to meddie with civil affairs.
