The Wheat Failure.

S.W. Talmage of Milwaukee, Wis, has
prepared his monthly crop report and
second estimate on the probable wheat
yield of the United States for 1885 as
follows:
There is no longer question as TO the
damage and loss to the winter wheat of
this country. A falling off of 100 million
bushels in winter wheat from last year is
calamity and is unprecedented in the
history of wheat raising in the United
States. The present condition of spring
is good but we must have favorable wealth
er until harvest to produce the amount of
wheat now calculated upon. The estimate
shows the probable yield of spring wheat
at 121, 100000 bushels. Winter wheat
2l0, 100000 bushels. Total spring and
winter 331. 100000 bushels. From these
figures it will be seen that the crop of 1885
compared with 1884 will show a shortage
in Winter wheat, 16O. 900 bushels; of
Spring wheat, 22,00o,0O bushels. Total
shortage Spring and Winter wheat 1872
100000 bushels. The average wheat yield
of the United States for five years past is
461 900. 900 bushels.

The Car Accountants Association of the
United States and Canada is now in ses-
sion at Minneapolis, MINI. Our worthy
and excellent townsman, Maj. N. HI.
Hotchkiss is one of the visitors, and the
Minneapolis Press thus speaks of him =
Maj. N. III. Hotchkiss, the lost car agent
of the Chesapeake and Ohio road, is one of
the most devoted workers in the car SER
vice in the country. For fifteen years he
was general travelling agent of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio. and for the last four years
has been the lost car agent. Maj. Hotch-
kiss conducted the great excursion of the
Northern editors to the South in 1871. and
also the return visit of the Southern edi-
tors in 1872. lie is well known by the
newspaper fraternity of the East and
South and enjoys very wide personal ac-
quaintance. Last summer when the car
accountants met at Richmond, he gave
them fine excursion to all the noted re-
sorts of Virginia. Major Hotchkiss is 65
years old, and carries his age well. He
has an open, pleasing face, and always
wears a long gray beard, which is growing
white"

The Convention.

The Republican State Convention will
meet in Richmond on the 10Th of July. The
delegates from each county have been APP
pointed, and in very few instances has there
been an expression ola preference for can
didate for Governor We would have pre-
ferred that no primary meeting should have
announced for or against any particular in
dividual. In a grave crisis like the present,
when so much is involved affecting the
welfare OF the State, the utmost caution,
the most careful and conscientious deliber-
alton and patient scrutiny, should be OBJ
served in the ticket to be presented. The
delegates to the Convention are entrusted
with responsibilities which cannot be
lightly OF indfferently discharged -respon-
sibilities which are paramount to any per-
sonal likes or dislikes, and which should
be met with full sense of their import
and the result which may hinge upon the
action of the Convention.
1t is no time to indulge in mere perso
nal partialities. The elements of success
must be considered, and these are not al
ways found in our most brilliant men or
conspicuous advocates. 1t should not be
assumed that past services entltle any
one to the nomination, unless in him CEN
tres the requisites to make a successful
canvass. No man is so high and no obi
cation so imperative, as to make the party
subordinate. The principles and policy of
the Republicans of Virginia, in their State
relationship record they have made in
legislation and alministration-mn be
considered above the claims Of any one
man and superior to personal attachments
and ambitions. 1t IS possible that the
emergencies of the occasion may call for
the sacrifice of cherished hopes and test
of the moral courage and devotion to a
cause in the final action of the Conyen-
tion. If such should be the case, no one
worthy of the confidence and support of
the party would hesitate to make it and
thus testify that however alluring and at
tractive may be the honors OF party, there
are occasions where these should sink in
the higher consideration of the success of
principles.
We trust the deliberations of the Con-
vention will be toned and seasoned by wise
conservatism, unseltish devotion to the
cause at issue, and determination to
make secondary individual claims. With
such spirit manifested, there will be no
difficulty in making choice of an accepta-
BILE ticket, and with that assured, we may
reasonably calculate upon a successful
termination to the canvass in November

The Cluverius Case.

On Friday, the effort of counsel for L.
J. Cluverius. convicted of the murder of
Lillian Madison, to prove an alibi was
abandoned by them in the Hastings Court
of Richmond, they having failed to secure
the necessary aflidavits. They, however,
submitted another motion to set aside the
death sentence and grant new trial on
the ground of newly discovered evidence.
This motion was based upon the affidavit
of DIR. James r. Garlick, the principal of
Burlington Academy, and teacher of the
murdered woman, in which he states that
he has positive conviction that the super
scription on the envelope containing the
torn note found at the American Hotel on
the morning after the discovery of the
body, and which connects the deceased
with the prisoner, is not i'll the handwrit-
ing of Lillian Madison. After brief ar
gument by counsel on both sides Judge
Atkins overruled the motion for a new
trial, and the counsel for the defense ex-
cepted to the ruling. They will now turn
their attention to secure a hearing before
the Supreme Court of Appeals Of the State
to have the verdict set aside and a new
trial ordered.

A dispatch from London, dated the oath,
says The members of the Gladstone Min
istry went down to Windsor Castle to-day
and delivered up the seals of office. Soon
after they had retired, the members of
the new ministry arrived and went through
the ceremony of accepting Office from the
Queen and receiving the seals, making
acts of obeisance by kissing the hand of
Her Majesty. Great crowds Of people were
assembled at the railroad depot upon the
arrival of the train bearing the new
Ministry. The Marquis of Salisbury and
Sir Stafford Northcote were loudly cheered
Sir Stafford to an especial degree. Lord
Randolph Churchill on the contrary, was
received with cheers and Kisses.

The Richmond papers. with a liberalit,

The Richmond papers. with a liberality
of accusation which does no credit to their
fairness, have stated that Judge Hughes
has recently made DEGREES in coupon cases
on the principle that a mere tender Of
coupons is payment. The truth is that
except to grant rules to show cause in less
than half dozen cases, which decide
nothing and were matters of right, he has
made no decree whatever in coupon cases.
Moreover, we do not believe he holds, as
Judge Bond seems to do, that mere ten
der of unverifed coupons is payment of
the tax. But as Judge Hughes is SO much
accustomed to Misrepresentation in the
Richmond papers as to his action and opin-
ions in relation to the debt question, we
presume he is Indifferent as to what is
said about him in this connection. When
he has occasion to pass upon such cases,
he no doubt will make himself so clear
that even partizan prejudice will not have
the audacity to misstate him.

Mr.. Massey made speech at Abingdon
last week. Col. A. Fulkerson introduced
him and Judge Ward reported his re-
marks. We infer from the temper of
what Messrs. Fulkerson and Massey said,
and the spirit manifested in the columns
of the Examiner, Mr.. Wards paper, that
there is to be no more fo0lishness toler-
ated on the part of the Readjusters, who
are cooperating with the Democrats
They point to the fact that there has
been no suitable recognition of their SER
vices-have been shabbily treated and prac-
tically ignored except being allowed to cast
their votes for the Democratic nominees.
They want this stopped. They asked to
the Democrats are sincere in their promise
to support REIMBURSEMENT and plainly in
innate that their demands must be re-
spected.
1t should not be forgotten that Mr.. Mas
Sey and Col. Fulkerson accepted the Rid
dleberger bill under protest. They believed
then and believe now that it states the
debt much larger than it really is, and
that the recent publication of Col. Ruffin
is more in accord with their notions of right.
1t is possible, indeed, that Ruffin S pamph-
let may constitute the platform on the
debt question of new political force, with
a view of compelling one of the other par
ties to come to it, as the way to success.
These gentlemen are playing for some
thing, and mean to demand more than
they have received heretofore, or than the
Democrats are willing to concede. Mas
sey, Ruffin and Fulkerson believe that Vir-
ginla's just Indebtedness is not more than
$l0,000,000, and if the Democratic Con-
vention does not make a tender of tangi-
BILE confidence in them. as reward for what
they have done and for their acquiescence
in the Riddleberger bill, they may appeal
to the people on the basis of the Ruffin
pamphlet and it's formulation of the pub
lie debt 1t looks like there is trouble
ahead for the faithful, and that the UNI
holy alliance is destined to bring forth
brood of pests which will harrow the very
soul of the greedy, spoils-loving, merce-
nary Democracy.

"Oficial partizanism" can only be found
among Republicans, and especially with
Republican editors. Button, Of the Lynch
burg Vrginia,s, Glennan, of the Norfolk
VSrgi,sian and Caldwell, of the Warrenton
Inder, three of the bitterest partizans in
Virginia, have been selected for the post
offices of their respective towns, and the
choice is applauded by the Democratic
press But when a Republican editor is
mentioned in connection with office, a holy
horror is expressed OF his offensive par
tizanism.' Oh, the hypocrites.

Luray Page Co., has long courted Miss
BERTHE Adams, tue pretty 17-year- old daugh.
ter of Charles Adams, but lately her pa
rents have taken to setting the dogs on
him whenever he appeared near the house
and ShOtgunS have been mentioned as an
additional persuader. Watson managed
to have talk with her last week through
the window OF her room. where her moth
or had locked her in and deprived her of
All her clothing but her night dress. Wat
son has a brother in-law who is an engi-
neerl on the Shenandoah Valley Rarilroad
and early Saturday morning he had his
engine waiting at station close to the
Adams mansion.
Y About o'clock young Watson drove to
the Adams mansion, carrying in his light
wagon full suit of ladies' underclothing
with black silk dress, hat, veil, gloves.
ETC., which his sister had prepared for
him. The programme was for him to
pass the clothing to his sweetheart through
the window. and after she had dressed she
was to fly with him to the waiting engine,
by which they were to reach Luray. When
Watson arrived at the Adams residence,
about A. NJ, he found to his dismay
that during the long drive over the rough
country road the bundle of clothing had
uVuuCCQ OuU Auu UCGil lUcbs LII uc6pdlE lie
seized carriage -f0D6 which he had
brought along and mounted the ladder to
Miss Adams window.
The girl was waiting in fear and trem-
bling, sitting on achair near the window
with the bed clothing wrapped around her.
Watson explained the mishap ard desper-
ately proposed that the girl should come
with him anyhow. The lover finally gained
his point and, forcing the window, entered
the room. Under Miss Bertie's direction
he wrapped her trembling form up in a
blanket. Then he enveloped her in the
and carried her down the
ladder. When near the ground the ladder
snapped in two and Miss Berthe screamed
as they fell about four feet. They were
uuiDjured, but as they regained their feet
Mr.. Adams head shot out of the window
and he cried to them to stop. Watson
sprang at the girl, who seemed half in
clined to obey, and throwing her across
his shoulder, ran to the waiting wagon.
Ten minutes drive brought Them to the
railroad. 1t was now broad daylight, and
as the lovers climbed into the cab they
caught sight of Mr.. Adams riding madly
towards them. He fired a shotgun and
roared to them to stop. The engine was
at once started and was soon flying to-
wards Luray at the rate of thirty-five
miles an hour. They stopped just outside
the village, and the two men took turns in
carrying the half unconscious girl to the
house OF a friend. Here she was supplied
with clothing, and about 9 O'Clock a. M.
went into Luray Caverns with her lover
Watson then drove leisurely home.
