Union Pacific Loan

Boston, Sept. The important negotia-

quietly carried on between President Adams
Of the Union Pacific Railway Company and
the representatives of certain leading Boston
banking houses were concluded to-day.

lier period. The average rate Of interest
will be something less than five per cent.
The company agrees for certain length Of
time to place no more of its securities of the
issue specified on the market, except at the
request of the firms In question. This ar
rangement provides for all the outst anding
notes of the company and the balance Of the
floating debt, representing the pay-rolls, the
now accrued coupons, and the accounts with
other railroad companies. The whole trans
action amounted to = sale Of bonds and

In the campaign of 1884, the two can

Joint discussions. Both men were pop

so well matched in mental force and as

promised to be a magnificent one. For
several weeks the scales balanced evenly.
But one day the brilliant Republican
candidate came up ailing. He seemed
overcome and spoke laboredly. The
next day he was even less effective.
Later he was compelled to ask his OPP
ponent for a postponement of certain
appointments, which was granted. Be
fore the campaign ended he had aban-
doned the field altogether.
Meantime the Democratic candidate
continued his canvass. seeming to grow
stronger, cheerier and more effective
with each succeeding week. He was
elected. One evening in December,
while entertaining several gentlemen,
he said:-

The newspaper reports on the death of the
valuable COW Princess I ], belonging to Mrs.
Shoemaker. stated to be from lung trouble,
brought several gentlemen breeders and 9th
ers interested in the valuable live stocs Of the
state to consult DR.. Ward, the state veteri-
marian, as to the nature Of the disease. He
found the entire herd, with the exception Of
two bulls and one COW, out at pasture, and
in apparent good health. The bulls looked
splendid. The COW in one of the stables was
suffering from garget and enlarged knee
joints-a chronic case. The dairyman gave
the doctor full particulars Of the cows
death, which was from effects Of overtaxa
ton of the system during the late butter
tests, or, in other words, as the doctor putsit
from making the COW into an extraordinary

cattle were killed, which, from the position
In which they were found lying, none Of
them could have been nearer than ten feet

August Crop Reporta-

United States Agricultural Commissioner
Colman has out his report for August. The
long stretch Of heat we have bad this sum-
mer has been accompanied with rains, and
therefore been good for corn The prospect
for that great crop has not been better since
1880. In some parts Of the country, notably
in Illinois and North Carolina, the crop
promises to be the largest ever known
As to wheat-well, the less said about
wheat the better. There will be enough to
bread this great country. with not much to
send over to the subjects Of the effete des-
potisms, and the price will be very high
when nobody has any to sell. The prospect
for spring wheat has fallen OF since July.
There will be better crop Of oats than
there was last year. Cotton promises to be
the best In ten years, except In 1880
