RIVAL VILLAGE BEAUTIES.
One Probably Blinded and the Other
Lodged In Jail.

The little village of Preston, Conn.,,
has Just been excited by an occur
renee which may deprive one young
lady of her eyesight and disigure
her for life. and has landed another
one, her alleged assailant, in Nor
wich, Jail on serious charge. Mss
Florence Miner, a handsome brown
eyed girl of eighteen years, the
daughter of rich farmer of Bendle-
ton Hill, North Stonington, has been
visiting lately at the home of Cyrus
Chapman, the villige blacksmith of
Preston, whose residence is just op
posite that of Mr., Twomey, awell to-
Do farmer, on Long Society road.
Mr.. Twomey has blue-eyed daugh
ter, seventeen years old, and the two
girls were warm friends. Tho at
tentions, however, of the village beaux
provoked rivalry. and at last each of
the young bellies coveted the atten-
tions of Mr.. Horace G. Corning,
whose elegant attire was of the vii
lage dude description. There was 70
lack of other admirers, however, and
every evening found the two opposite
residences, lively with the guests of
the fair rivals.
In the early part of this week Miss
Susan Twomey had the start in the
race for the fascinating Mr.. Corning,
and ii is stated that in her elation,
she went so far as to throw sand and
gravel at the panes behind which
Miss Miner was entsrtaing visitors.
On Wednesday evening Mr. Corn
ing set out to call on Miss Susan, but
met her near his house, and prepara-
tory to escorting her to visit his sis'
ter, returned home to get an overcoat
leaving Miss Susan on the street
He returned in a moment. A loud
cry from across the street in front of
the Chapman dwelling called him
quickly thither. The cry had been
uttered by Susan, who with her hands
before her eyes, WAS screaming:
"They have blinded mel They have
blinded me :"
He helped the girl into his mothers
house. DIR. Brewer, of this city, found
large white spots on her face and on
the whites of her eyes. He called
again at midnight. He said it was
too early to tell whether Miss Susan's
eyesight was seriously impaired. Gre
osote or carbolic acid had caused the
spots. he said Miss Twomey made
no accusation against her sssailant
except that contained in her crv,
They have blinded mel" Policeman
Corcorsn, of Preston, arrested Miss
Miner, and she spent Wednesday
night in the station-house. She did
not seem to realize the gravity of the
offence but said that seeing the viol
of creosote on the mantel, she thought
it would be good thing to punish
Miss Susie for peeping in at the win
dow.
At hearing before Justice Bates
in Preston on Thursday, Miss Miner
was charged with a malicious attempt
to MAIN and disfgure. Her counsel,
S. A. Crandall, of Norwich, offered
no evidence in defence, and she was
committed under $1,000 bonds to
Norwich Jail for trial at next term of
court. Her father will furnish bail as
soon as communicated with.-North

No Profit In Wheat.

A correspondent of the Philadel
phia Times, writing from st. Paul,
Mimi, under date of December Sth
inst, says: The low price of wheat
is c serious blow to the development
of the entire Northwest. 1t brings
peculiarly hard times instead OF the
prosperity which was expected from
the abundant crop. 1t will check
immigration to considerable extent,
and while it will rot actually set the
country back will postponefor year
or two a good deal of the growth
that would otherwise be immediate.
The country itself is all right-the
soil fruitful, the climate healthful and
the conditions of life in no way dis
appointing TO the settler-but the
difference between fifty cents bush
el for wheat and eights cents is the
difference to most farmers between
being in debt and pinched for money
and being out of debt with balance
in the bank. In the towns the busi
ness men are affected as much as the
farmers IN the country. Sales are
light, collections hard to make. notes
must be extended and Insolvency
STAYED off by ali sorts of expedients.
Minnesota and Dakota have harvest
ed an immense crop, but after selling
it at the phenomenal low prices there
is no balance of profit on baud.
To show how the low prices work
in individual instances let me take the
case of an old acquaintance from
Philadelphia who is farming in the
James River valley, in Dakota. He
had an entire section in wheat and
got from it an average of twenty
bushels to the acre. That make II,
500 bushels. Some of the car loads
graded No l and some No in Du-
luth. He netted about forty seven
cents bushsl, or, in round figures.
$4,000 for his crop. Bat it had cost
him IS an acre to make the crop. or
S5,120. Then ne had some commits
sions to pay and interest on borrow
ed money. SO that he actually came
out little behind, counting nothing
for his own time or for interest on
the value of the land If his wheat
had brought him last June's price he
would have realized profit of 81
500 and would be happy man to
day instead of being obliged to make
an assignment. Some OF tho big
farms figure the cost of production
down to Sc an acre and have come
out whole this year
