CrOps.-The August report on the con-
dition of the growing crops throughout the
United States, just promulgated by the Com.
missioner of Agriculture, contains the fol-
lowing reference to the crops in Maryland !:
The condition of the corn crop Is about 8
per cent below what it was last year, yet,
owing 10 the late rains OF the End and Bird
instant and the increased acreage, the corn
crop of Maryland will exceed by 100000
bushels the crop Of 1884, and be of equally
good quality if no unforeseen accident occurs.
The oat crop was exceptionally good one.
Tobacco is very promising and likely 10 I've
full and well ripened crop, AS far as can
be expected from the lessened area planted.
While the quantity of Maryland tobacco
has lessened, quality has increased, yet its
market value has not improved correspond
ingly.
As To hay crops, timothy is good, but the
crop is about one-lourth short. The same
may be said Of clover hay. Pastures, as a
rule, are poor all over the State, with few
occasional exceptions, The late rains have
no doubt revived them, and they may i'm
prove as fall pastures.
Grapes are abundant and promise fine
yield Apples are fair for an odd year, and
will yield two-thirds crop Of gootktruit
Peaches will not be as abundant ~ was the
early promise, but they will be fine. This
Is already great crop, and extending year
ly over the State as money yielding crop.
A Cutting ATray.-A cutting ARRAY,
which came near having q fatal termination,
occurred at the place of Robert Hatton,
colored, about half mile from this place,
last Friday night. Hatton has a dancing
platform in the grove near bis house, and
on this occasion IL was occupied by a crowd
of colored people from this place and vi
cinity A row started in some way. Among
those engaged in the disturbance were Henry
Herbert and Reuben Blair, both colored, the
latter being from Washington. Blair was
fiourishing a razor In the fight, when he
was seized by Herbert and thrown TO the
ground, and, while both were in this posi-
ton, Herbert received three terrible gashes
from the weapon-two ON the side of the
neck and ono in the calf of the leg. He
was carried 10 bis home near by, and DIR.
Stonestrcet was called to bis aid. The flow
of blood lasted for long time, and il was
feared that he would bleed TO death, but al
fastest accounts was recovering. Blair made
his escape. and is supposed TO have gone
back TO Washington.

The Washington water.works.


The work on the Great Falls dam consists
in placing fifteen-inch coping on the old
dam across the Maryland channel, 1,034 feet
long, and building new dam across Conn's
Island and the Virginia channel, 1,S43 feet
long. Maj. Lydecker, in his annual report
to the chief of engineers, says that the most
difficult deepwater portions of the dam
have been completed with the exception of
the coping, and the Conn's Island portion
and some of the shallow-water work have
also been finished. The contract time has
been extended until November /. The work
already done and the material used have cost
$S1 1881, of which $685. 1S was expended dur
ing the past year. There remains to be built
400 feet of the dam and LOO feet of the cop
ing. The unexpended balance of $56,551 is
deemed sufficient to complete the work.
The time for the completion of the tunnel
has been extended to June 80, 1885, The
total cost Of labor and material up to date
has been $41S,125, of which $3.50 ,76S was
expended during this year. An additional
appropriation of $395,000 will be needed
to complete the work on account of the
character of the rock encountered. When
completed the tunnel will be 20,715 feet in
length with an average depth below the sur
face of the ground of 100 feet.
The original appropriation for work on
the new reservoir was $431,2 of which
$1S0,155 remains unexpended This will
not, however, be sufficient to complete the
work, and a further appropriation of $780,
900 will be required.
In a supplemental report Mai. Lydecker
says the usual amount of 10000 for the cost
of maintaining the acqueduct and preserv.
ing the water from pollution during the
next fiscal year will be required. Half of
this amount is paid by the District of Co.
lumbia, and he says it is quite as much as
the District is able to pay. 1t is not called
upon under the law to provide for new
works or modification of present structures
to protect the water supply from pollution.
This work should devolve upon the War
Department, and to that end an elaborate
project has been proposed, requiring an APP
preparation by Congress OF $130,000 for the
condemnation of land, diverting tributary
streams and removing all possible sources
of pollution.

A Sad Death.-On Monday last this
community was thrown into state of great
excitement by n telegram announcing the
sudden death, at Hyattsville, of Walter NJ
Morgan, son of Mr.. NJ. Morgan, of this place.
Young Morgan entered the service of the b.
& o. telegraph company at this place about
three years ago and last week was promoted
to the position of railroad agent at Hyatts-
Vile He went TO that place on Saturday,
and on Sunday, at his request, was visited
by his father and one of his brothers, who
found him sad and dispirited Surprising
the feeling to be only temporary, they adj
vised him TO remain at his post. On Mon
day, after eating his dinner about O'clock,
he went TO his room at his boarding house.
Sometime afterwards Mrs. Fowler, his land
lady, heard strange noise and made search
through the house 10 ascertain the cause.
Upon entering young Morgan's room she
found him lying on the floor dead, with a
revolver in his hand. There were bullet
holes in his temple and breast. An inquest
was held and u verdict of death by his own
hand was rendered. The remains were
brought here on Monday night and on We'd
nesday he was followed TO his last resting
place by a large concourse of sorrowing rela-
tives and friends. He was general favorilc
in the community, and his untimely death
has caused general sorrow. His father and
brothers have the heartfelt sympathy of all
in their sad bereavement.

that time that Mr.. Sherman wonld pro-
baby not be able to command the sntirs
Republican vote in the Legislature, and
that an accidentmight happen that would
cause John much trouble. The PtdtH
Dealer, contemplating the signs Of the
times, perceived indications Of move
ment having for its purpose the defeat
Of John Sherman for United States
senator from Ohio to succeed himself.
II expressed doubt that Mr.. Sherman
would be his own successor. The Plain
Dealer still entertains that doubt. Per-
haps it is more than a doubt. 1t does
not believe that John Sherman will sue
coed himself in the Senate, and it has
reason for thinking so.
Again, the Plain Dealer, from its
post of observation on current events,
warns John Sherman that all is not
well with him. The clouds are thick
ening. The danger-signal is flying.
BE careful, John Sherman. Look out
for breakers.-Clereldnd Plain Dealer.

Court and Senate.

The action Of the Hamilton county
Circuit Court in the matter of the dis
puted senatorial certificates we do not
regard as Of any particular conse-
quence.
The decisions thus far rendered do
not, as a matter Of fact, materially
affect the result as shown by the re-
turns. If the returns were counted as
the Court has thus far directed, they
would not elect the Republican candi-
dates for senator.
But it is q matter Of no great conse-
quence what this court may do. The
four Democratic senator's who are duly
and legally elected will be seated just
the same. This is a matter where no
court has any business to meddle, and
what the Democrats have right under
the Constitution and the statutes TO do
they will do, and there is no more to
be said.
The matter may linger along in the
Circuit Court, and eventually, upon
the appeal Of one side or the other, get
into the Supreme Court, where there
may be much solemn reflection and
great displays Of legal acuteness and
judicial wisdom. The court of last re-
sort may decide one thing or another,
but the end will be the same.
Four Democratic senator's have been
elected from Hamilton county. They
will appear before the Senate and be
seated therein. II there is to be con-
test the Senate viii determine what
ought to be done.
Upon this proposition we stand

warned Again.

Senator John Sherman has come back
from his missionary labors in Virginia,
and the net result is probably not salts
factory to him. The appearance of the
Ohio Senator on Old Dominion soil
waving the ensanguined undergarment
rather encouraged the Democrats than
otherwise. 1t would have been better
for the Republicans if John Sherman
bad stayed at home.
And it would have been better for
John. While he was away toiling in
the vineyard Of Malone, if we may
drop for a moment into Biblical allie
CORY, the enemy came and sowed tares
in Mr.. Sherman's own senatorial corn
field.
The Plain Dealer had occasion to
warn John some time ago that with a
Republican majority Of only three on
joint ballot in the Legislature there was
danger to Johns senatorial aspirations.
II warned him that he had better come
back. and not to delay about it.

competing endeavors of the Queen
dowager Christina, but in the year last
named was oyerthrown by junta of
which Serrano was member. In No
vember, 1913, Isabel was declared by
the Cortes to have attained her majority,
though she was only thirteen years old,
and soon after the Queens mother re-
turned to Madrid. Serrano's sympa-
thies were with the tyrannical policy
of Narvaez, military dictator of Spain
from lS43 to 1851, whom he assisted
to power. lie was a courtier in favor
with the young Queen, and after her
marriage in 1916, great trouble arose
between her and her husband on &C
count Of her intimate friendship with
Serrano. After a period of years in
which he was engaged more or less in
political intrigue, with various re-
suits to himself, but always CIV
ing support to illiberal measures,
Serrano became a Liberal. He was
soon afterward appointed the captain
general Of Granada. In 1854 he was
exiled for completely in an Instruction
at Saragossa, but returned to Madrid
the same year, and supported the
O'Donnell-Espartero Cabinet. The
well-informed reader will remember
that dissensions between the two
heads of this cabinet led to
Espartero's retirement in favor of
O'Donnell in 1856. Serrano was
largely influential in bringing about
this result, which took place when he
was acting as captain-general of New
CASTLE. In 1857 he was sent as Am
bassador to France. He was captain
general of Madrid in 1865. A Provi-
sional Government was set up in 1868,
and Queen Isabella fled to France. This
revolution was the work Of Prim, To-
pete, and Serrano as its leaders, and its
success led to Serrano's becoming COM
mander-in-chief Of the army and Presi-
dent of the Council. In 1869 he
became Regent Of Spain. He held this
position until the Italian Prince ANA
dec accepted the crown. The repub-
lie was established in 1873, the Execu-
tive being assumed by the COrtes and
King Amadeo having resigned his
office; and in 1874 Marshal SerranO
became President. He held the Ex-
ecutive office until 1875, when Alfonso
XII. became King of Spain, thus re-
turning the House of Bourbons to
power the second time after the deposit
ten of Fernando VII. in 1908.
