Ferdinand Ward, the captive swindler,
watched by Deputy Sheriff Brown, slept
last night In the Sinclair House. He
spent most Of to-day in Receiver Davies
office. Mr.. Davis read and reread papers
with Ward and others to an.unlimited ex-
tent. He said that he had heard that Mr..
Ward could easily have obtained the
$30O,000 bah, but had refused to accept
1t, knowing that he would probably be
arrested Immediately on other suits,
which might run the bail up to two MIL
lions. Deputy Brown sat all day
in one position, looking straight at
his prisoner. The prisoner represented
to him responsibility of $500, 900. At
$500 the Office was cleared Almost the
last to leave were Deputy Sheriff Brown
and his prisoner. They slipped quietly
out of the side door on Wall street and
walked to the Offices of Butler, Stillman

TAKEN TO PRISON.
There they were met by Sidney Green,
Wards brother-in-law, and by Order of
Arrest Clerk Moore, with whom they left
the office. Hall an hour later a
hack, with two white horses, drew
up in front of Ludlow Street Jail,
and the coachman got down and
rang the bell with all his might, while
Ward, Brown, Moore and Green stepped
out OF the carriage. Deputy Warden Kier-
nan unlocked the three iron doors sepa-
rating the prisoner room from the street
and Ferdinand Ward preceded by his

take look at things" Mr.. Ward was
led into an inside office by
Deputy Brown, who still called
him Davis, and there swore that he
was able to support himself and would
pay for his board. Mr.. Herman gave q
receipt for his body. Ward sat for an
hour in the prisoners room with his
brother-in-law. At 1880 O'Clock they were
taken to the room which Ward Is to oc.
cupy, fronting on Ludlow street.
COMFORTABLE QUARTERS.
The gas was lighted and the room.
small, comfortably furnished, was very
CHEEKY. Ward frightened up for the firsr
time since morning and his brother-in-law
laughed when invited by Herman to look
through the window and admire "Goose-
town." as that section of Ludlow street
is called. Mr.. Ward laughed, too, quite
naturally. 81 guess" said he, 81 shall

foxes get in among them. Then
the warden went away to order
some supper for the new prisoner
and to see about getting him a bed, and
the couple were left alone. The room in
which Ward is to stay is the one in which
Tweed died April II, six years ago. The
watch OF the prison will be augmented to
six men, and two will have the special
duty of watching Ward, both asleep and
awake. CAT NO time" said Herman,

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
rho missouri Crop outlook.


Reports have been received by the
State Board of Agriculture from 100
counties OF the ia of the State. Most of the
correspondents speak most favorably of
the outlook for wheat. Many say ssextra."
"never BETTER" etc., while q few still re.
port the prospect as below the average. A
few Of the more recent returns speak OF
the Hessian fy as doing considerable dam
age. AS compared with May Is, 1888, the
present average is no.. Very little wheat
is reported as being plowed up. Spring
wheat is reported in only few OF the
northern counties. But a few counties re-
port barley. The acreage remains about
the same as last year for these grains. The
acreage of corn as compared with 1888 is
reported as 1C0-H. Reports represent the
planting as very backward and the soil as
in poor fix for seed. The proportion now
planted is stated at 45 per cent. of amount
TO be planted, and probable germina-
ton as S1.41. Peaches are reported as
likely to lie complete failure, few only
reporting small promise of peaches.
Other fruit prospects are very hopefully
spoken OF, except occasionally doubts
where hail and wind have injured OF cold,
as in case of blackberries in some local.
tiles.
The percentage of spring pigs as COM
pared with 1888 averages for the State, s9.2
per cent. The area of oats is placed at
500. At the date of writing the weather
for planting has become more favorable
and putting in of corn is now going for
ward rapidly. The continuous cool, wet
weather has tempted planting on soil I'M
fitted for the reception of seed and puts
corn at disadvantage from the start.
Considering the present favorable condi-
ton of stock, coupled with crop prospects
to date, ,ur farmers have no cause for com.
plant, but fair encouragement. 81

keeping Fowls Healthy.

Henry Stewart proposes to keep 100
fowls in healthy, thriving coalition on one
acre OF ground by dividing it into two
yards and keeping them in one yard while
the other is plowed and sowed to come
grain, which will furnish IN abundance OF
green food. His plan is to, ploW-one yard
early in the fall and SOW it with rye. The
rye is ready for use in October, and will
last until winter sets in. The fowls are
turned on to it at tia. time, and the other
half is plowed and soTed in the same way.
This is ready for spring uae, and will lest
until July. The fowls being put on this
in the spring, the other land is aown to
oats and peas, or rape or turnips, or any
thing will produce green food. Then the
other ground is sown with rape, or corn
broadcast, or mixed seed. Prickly comfrey
is eaten by fowls very eagerly, and row
Of this around the whole lot will furnish a
perennial supply OF acceptable food. But
the blowing is indispensable, as it cleanses
the coil and gets rid OF every provocative
Of diaease. By this method the fowls will
erjoy every possible and necessary com.
fort and sanitary requisite, and the expense
OF feeding them will BIZ reduced one. half;
and, moreover, they will have all the nee.

how to keep the railway carriages cool. In
France passengers are packed very tight,
