A CRISIS IN CLEvELAND.

The Strikers Propose Terms Which
 Must Re Accepted Or They will
 Begin A Reign Of Murder And PiI-
 lage.
 F CLEVELAND, July 1O.-The Press this af- ternoon publishes the programme of the strikers who have been holding mass meet ings to-day. Between now and Monday a committee of strikers will wait on the Chis- holms and other officers of the Cleveland rolling mill company with proposition to return to work at the wages paid before the reduction which caused the strike. If this is refused the foreigners imported by the conn pany three years ago to take the place of the American woIkmen then on 2 strike will de- mand that the company furnish them trans portation to their native countries. Over five hundred Poles, Bohemians and Germans have signihed their desire to return to Europe un- der these conditions. If the strikers are re- fused this last request they swear they will commence burning and killing. The strike has evidently reached crisis and the author ities are seriously alarmed.
 Felix Rosenberg, Plaindealay reporter who is acting as 8 special policeman, walked up to the ringleader of the strikers while he was leading procession in the Eighteenth ward this afternoon, arrested him, marched him to the police station and had him locked up. None of the regular policemen could be induced to make the arrest as it was feared that riot would ensue.

THE CROP RETURNS F6R JUNE. A Good Showing All AroundNfor the Month.

NASMkMs
 WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The Department of Agriculture reports that cotton has made material improvement during June. ThereV are few imperfect strands reported. Temper ature and rainfall have favored growth and fruiting has commenced in the gulf States. Local droughts are very rare and moisture generally sufficient from Virginia to Texas. It is somewhat light in the lowlands, inter fering with cultivation and stimulating the growth of grass. The general condition has advanced from 92 in June to 96 in July. This will insure, barring drawbacks so likely to come in the later summer, a large crop. The average conditions by States are as fol lows: Virginia 98, North Carolina 93, South Carolina 96, Georgia 97, Florida 95, Alabama 92, Mississippi 99, Louisiana 100, Texas 92, Arkansas 96, Tennes- see 97. The States east of the Mississippi stand as in June except in Georgia and FIori- da All the others give higher averages. The caterpillar is reported in several coun- ties in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisia- na and Texas. The ball worm moth has been observed in Texas. The month has been favorable to the development of winter wheat A slight improvement is indicated, which advances the general average between
 
 is reported in Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania and in some of the southern States In Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri there has been improvement, as well as in California and Oregon. The winter wheat region, which does not include the territories, now promises about 215, 900, ,OOO The condition of spring wheat continues high, though the average has been reduced slightly, the average being nearly .96.
 The indications now point to a crop of about 14S, ,00O,O bushels for Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Dakota and other ter ritories and northern New England. This makes an aggregate of 363, ,0OO,0 ,00O bushels. The corn area of last year has apparently been increased by about six per nt.or at least f., 900, 900 bvshels, making an aggregate of "A, 900, 900 acres. The largest increase is in the Missouri valley. The condition of corn is higher than in any year since 1880 except the last. It averages 94 against 96 in 1884. It is highest in the South and higher on the Atlantic coast than in the West. The Kansas average is S3, that of Michigan and Missouri ST, Illinois 90, Iowa 92, Minnesota 93, Ohio and Nebraska 96. The average of rye has increased from 83 to ST since June 1. The general average for oats is 91 instead of 97. Oats have shared with all the cereals n the improvement of the month. The only States below 90 are New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Cal ifornia. The condition of barley averages 92; of tobacco 96.

The East Pearl street church and Sunday school are to picnic at High Rock Grove July 22 A large number will doubtless at tend as this church has the reputation of getting up the most enjoyable of picnics. Fair Haven people, particularly those re- siding on the East side, have long been troubled with bad drainage and several doctors have given it as their opinion that vailed in that section has been due to this cause alone. The family of MT. Leonard Bradley have been all more or less ill fol some time and MT. Bradley thinks that it E might have been avoided had the drainage been good.
 The hard times have induced many local \ tradesmen to adopt the cash system entirely ! Mr. Hein, the grocer, who has adopted this | system recently said that he has lost several E hundred dollars in the past few months by | the credit system.

The American Rapid Telegraph Conn
 Pany Absorbed By Western Union.
 NEW YORK, July 1O.-The entire absence of ceremony with which the wires of the American Rapid Telegraph company were company surprised even the people who hur- ry along Broadway and are not easily aston isehd. It seems that this morning negotia- tions which had been pending between the two companies were completed and the Western Union company was made the agent of the receiver of the American Rapid com pany and an order of the court to take pos session of the latter's property was obtained. At 3:30 o'clock General Eckert of the Vest ern Union appeared in the Bankers & Mer- chants building where the American Rapid wires have been operated for the past year, and taking formal possession walked quietly away. Ten minutes later g dozen brawny fellows appeared on the roof of the Bankers & Merchants building and in the course of twenty minutes they had re- moved every wire and cable belonging to the American Rapid company. By o'clock the transfer of the wires from the Bankers 6 Merchants building to that of the Western Union was completed and all the inside and switch connections made. The American Rapid system was about all there was of the Bankers & Merchants company and the latter is left with very slim line extending between this city and Washington with few isolated connections here and there The removal of the American Rapid company's property from the combination which has been controlled by the Bankers & Merchants leaves but a shell, and the proba- bilities are that the remaining property will be sold out in the course of few days at sheriffs sale The United Press, which was the largest customer of this tele- graph combination, was informed by the Western Union a few minutes before the wires were removed that the Western Union system would be placed at the disposal of the association and that everything wou be done to conduct it's business in satisfactory manner while it is continued on Western Union wires.

A Great Victory A Terrible Case of Scrofula
 Cured by
 Hoods Sarsaparilla

"In the winter of 1879 was attacked with Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms. At one time had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and around my neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass or bloody matter disgusting to behold, and almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the case was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After three years of misery, having been treated by three physicians, I was worse than ever. Finally, on the recommendation of w. J. Runtley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after having taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have entirely ceased, and the abscesses have all are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and beautifully less.' I do not know what it may have done for others, but l do know that in my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an effective specific indeed. AS an evidence of my gratitude send these facts unsolicited, this cure, by personal correspondence Wltn any one who doubts it.o CHARLES A. ROB- ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.

 The Fair Haven clerks have been melted to deeds of valor by the success that has at tended the early closing movement that has recently been pushed so vigorously by the New Haven clerks, and now many of them are urging their employers to shut up at an early hour.
 Many Fair Haveners nightly visit the park near the foot of Ferry street and listen to the music and enjoy the cool breezes As there is no admission fee charged, the crowds will doubtless increase.

A MEETING OF STORM CLOUDS. Disastrous Work of The Tornado That
 Broke Over New England.

A MEETING OF STORM CLOUDS. Disastrous Work of The Tornado That Broke Over New England.
 BOSTON, July 10.-Details of yesterday s tornado continue to come in from different parts and show that it was one of the most severe that has visited New England for years In Vermont two immense storm clouds from the southeast and northeast re- spectively met on this side of Lake Cham plain and witnesses of the collision pro- nounce it a terrible sight. The tornado struck Burlington with terrific force and the air was soon filled with shutters, broken boughs, signs, etc. Trees were uprooted and buildings unroofed in all directions. The tall chimney of Shepard & Morse's lumber mill was levelled, setting fire to the building. Lightning struck in many places. A horse was killed by one bolt and a man stunned by another. In neighbering towns buildings were blown down and valuable or chards destroyed. Three men who started to cross Champlain in an open boat two hours before the storm and MT. Conger of Cham plain & Co.,, who was fishing in the lake, have not been. heard from. The tornado at this point lasted twenty minutes. In War ren, Mass, the cyclone was. high above the ground but of such violence that men and beasts fell to the ground from fright and re- mained until long after all danger was passed. In West Brookfeld the wind stripped from a warehouse it's Mansard roof, which it carried over two hundred feet upward and then five hundred feet in an easterly
 direction, dropping it there with a force which shattered timbers eight inches square and tore up the ground to 2 depth of three feet. In RfttsAeld the lightning hit over one hundred signal clock attachments to telephones besides injuring many tele- graph instruments. In South Lee the house of Horace Hatch was struck and Mrs. Couch, aged eighty-seven, was killed. In Amherst the house, barn and all the farm buildings of M. T. Startley, at Mill Valley, were ig- nitad by lightning and totally destroyed
