The Price Takes a Sudden Tumble
 at Cincinnati.

Nhe Ffiee Fakes Sudden Tumble
 at Cincinnati.
 CINCINNATI, Aug. 21.-There was great excitement in the whiskey corner on Change to-day. Prices took large drop and every body was thrown out of balance. Early re- ports were that Peoria dealers had sold in Chicago at 1Os, whereas the Peoria price is 118 and before long the Mill Creek distilling company issued brief circular stating that they would sell at 106 rate until September l. An effort was made to sustain the mar ket, but under the circumstances it was inn possible. The break is all the more unfor- tunate at this time as the market has been unusually firm with not too great supply and good demand

Brother and sister Live Together
 Thirteen Years As Man ana Wife.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Thomas and Sarah White, supposed to be man and wife, were arrested in Brooklyn few days ago for re- fusing to bury their dead infant. They were suffering under delusions and claimed that they were bewitched by Druids. They were committed to the Flatbush asylum. The re- volting fact was learned to-day that they are brother and sister, though they have lived as man and wife for thirteen years and have had several children. The woman claims that her brother compelled her by force to maintain the relationship. It is supposed that her evident insanity is the result of the unnatural life that she has led. Whites mental disturbance, however, is apparently due to jealousy. His original reason for re- fusing to bury the child was that he was not its father, but the woman had been criminal ly intimate with a young man of her ac- quaintance. The woman showed intense hatred of her brother. The couple will be detained at the asylum. The children are in charitable institutions

Advertising Cheats l!

It has become so common to begin an arti- ole in an elegant, interesting style,
 Then run it into some advertisement, that we avoid all such,
 And simply call attention to the merits of Hop Bitters in as plain, honest terms as pos- sibIe,
 To induce people
 To give them one trial, which so proves their value that they will never use anything else.
 The remedy is So favorably noticed in all the pa- perS.

 Having large sale, and is supplanting all other medicines.
 There is no use denying the virtues of the Hop plant. and the proprietors of Hop Bitters have shown great shrewdcess and ability In compromising a medicine whose virtues so palpable to every ones observation.

THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE. Everything Lovely and No Call For
 Civil Service Inquisftion.


 NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Chairman Dorman B. Eaton of the civil service commission and Chief Examiner Lyman made another visit to-day to the custom house to patch up the troubles said to exist there. They were received by Acting Collector Berry in MT. Hedden's absence. MT. Eaton said he had no doubt everything would be amicably ar ranged and MT. Berry said he really did not know what there was to arrange. Chief Ex- aminer Lyman remarked that there is often the least fire where there is the most smoke and Mir. Berry agreed with him. The con versation then drifted into the question of filing the vacancies in the local board of civ il service examiners and MT. Berry said no names would be proposed until MT. Hedden's return next week. Nothing definite was done to-day MT. Eaton decided, however, that Collector Hedden is right in holding that four names must be sent in by the board of examiners for each vacancy instead of one, as was tried on Surveyor Beattie the other

The Pride of The East Leads The New
 Workers a Stern Chase-She Comes In
 Two Miles Ahead of The PriscIlls.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Although the wind came in rather lightly from the south west this morning when the navigators of the four contestants in the trial races for the America cup began making prepara- tions for the first sail of the series, but little notice was taken of it, for thelong and weary wait of yesterday made all determined to try their yachts abilities at all hazards, even if it were necessary to partly drift over the course. The racers took their positions about Il o'clock at an imaginary line between the Scotland lightship and judges boat, Lucken- bach. A few minutes past Il the whistle was given for them to start and they got away in the following order: Priscilla at 11:15, Oracle 11:16, Bedouin 11:16 1-2, Puritan 11:17 1-2. The little fleet was followed by nearly all the well known yachts of New York and vicinity and many eastorn crafts as well. The wind was coming out moderately from the south while the weather in that direction was rather cloudy but the haze of the early morning had nearly all cleared away. The Puritan rapidly overhauled the Bedouin and before she had travelled ten minutes the Oracle was astern of the pride of the East. The Puri- tan easily maintained her lead and when off Long Branch she was about 8 mile ahead of the Priscilla with the Bedouin third and Oracle fourth. The breeze had before this increased to good sailing wind with the white caps well de- veloped. The boats were all handled with apparent skill and there was every reason for congratulation upon the ab
 sence of anything to throw doubt upon the fact that the records of the various craft would be true measures of their respective abilities under conditions equally favorable to all The whole story of the race could be summed up in the remark of an old salt who witnessed it that it was "a stern chase" for the New Workers; and, he added, so it would bs for the Englishman. Certain it is that the Genesta's only formidable rival will be the Puritan if anything can be- predicted from the results of to-day's contest. The Puritan maintained her advantage in the home trip so uniformly and easily as to make the race almost too monotonous to greatly interest the spectators. Shortly after o'clock the two leading yachts again came in sight off Sandy Hook and it was seen that the Puritan had greatly increased her lead. The finish was made by the Puritan when the Priscilla was about two miles astern, with the Bedouin and the Oracle far behind. The yachts will contest again tomorrow.

JuIV CroD ReDOrt.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. July I3.-In review
ing it's semi monthly crop returns the
Farmers Review tomorrow will say {:
Since our last crop report the winter
wheat harvest has SO far progressed
as to remove any doubt of the outcome
of this crop. Few recent reports
show any Improvement, and many
show still further depreciation from
former reports. he harvest in Tenn
essee and kentucky is practical fail
ure. Much damage has been done to
the crop during harvest in Kansas and
Missouri by heavy rains. Reports
from the harvest in Southern Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois fully confirm
previous estimates of the poor cOndi
tion of the crop in those sections
Michigan alone, of all the winter
wheat states, will harvest full crop.
Our previous estimates of the shortage
of the winter wheat crop are being
now coming In.
AS to the spring wheat crop it is
now approaching its most critical
stage. The area is somewhat less than
last year and while giving unusual
promise in some sections, Is reported
thin and weedy in others. With IA
vorable weather till harvested it will
make good crop, but will not, as We
think, come up to the estimate made
by some parties. We see no reason to
change our estimates of June 1, that
the total wheat crop of the year will
not exceed $50, ,O0O, 900 bushels.
The corn crop is holding its own
we'll and promises full average crop.
Oats promise, owing to increased
acreage and fairly good condition, the
largest crop ever harvested in the
country, and the hay crop will not fall
short of the average. Outside of win
ter wheat the crop outlook is encour-
