Condition of the Crops.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The printed
report of the agricultural department Civ
ing the condition of the various crops as
shown by the June returns is just out and
contains few points concerning wheat not
given in the synopsis furnished on the 10th
inst. 1t is stated that the general average
conditions of 60 for winter wheat is the
worst official showing since 1868. In 1881
it was IA, and IS in 1888, which in the
great crop years of 1880 and 1882 it was SO.
From close study of the returns it is GER
tain that large portion OF the reduction in
area is discounted. In the returns of condition
the report states it is evident that further
allowances must be made for unanticipated
destruction of area by replanting. Further
conditions Oh misconceptions of present ap-
pearances OF both together are not likely to
change the total wheat crop of the country
more than 1O,0OO, 600 bushels above or below
the estimate given OF 36,0OO,OO0 bushels.
Still, disasters prior to harvest OF wet
weather afterwards might possibly make
greater reduction. Sufficient to this
day, however, is the evil thereof.

Augustus Marital Ventures.
Special to the Globe.
CLEVELAND, o., June 1S.-The man
ner in which the marital ventures Doctor
Augustus C. Robinson of this city are
mixed is the local sensation of
the day. He became the husband of
Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson in Genesee county,
New York, in 1862 The twain lived
in the Empire state for several years, when,
it is said, Robinson abandoned the wife,
He next turned up in Michigan, where he
met pretty female book agent. She was
the mother of a girl baby by a former hus-
band, but he was captivated and declined
to count the little one hindering incum-
brance. The result was they went to
housekeeping together, without the inter-
ventiOn of either minister or MAGISTRATE.
So they lived together as man and
wife, and the child grew into young
womanhood and married. recognizing
Robinson as her father. After six years in
Michigan, they came to Cleveland. EARLY
in July, 1884, Robinson abandoned this
woman, who for years had borne the name
of Mrs. Jennie Robinson, and few days
later, on July "a, was married to Miss
Lille Goodwin, beautiful West side
blonde. His first wife, Elizabeth, had re-
married and is now living in Pennsylvania
She had

learned of the proceeding and obtained
Toledo papers containing notice of the
action. She sent the notice to Mrs RObin-
son No. 3, who was not aware that her
Augustus had ever been married before
Nor did the justly-incensed Jennie stop at
that, but took legal counsel and acquainted
the officials of the Toledo courts with what
she knew. The result was the peremptory
dismissal of Robinson's petition for divorce
and he is Low in danger of
prosecution, not only upon the charge of
bigamy, but perjury as well, in alleging
falsely under oath, in the divorce petition
that he was bona tde resident of Lucas
county. Robinson is a crayon and color
artist of something more than ordinary
merit, and because of claims to skill as a
magnetic healer, is dubbed doctor by his
intimate associates.
