at home, whence he was called by the
report that his presumption, upon which
his family was residing, had been taken
by another. Mr.. Spicer had no trouble
in rectifying the mistake, but the stranger

at the hour when the morning chores

clouds were tipped with the lighter ones,

as though to warn US of the storm which
was to follow. Of course much of the

THE GROWING CROPS.
| The Farmers Review Declares that the Win
ter Wheat Is Almost Total Failure.

CHICAGO May 26.-The Farmers Review, in
its weekly summary of the crop outlook vii
print the following. in connection with the re-
ports of its correspondents, received up to May
90
I'VE are fairly launched upon the growing
season Of 1885, Every item of crop news at the
present time, and in fact for the next three
months, is of more than usual interest Our
detailed reports last week showed that seeding
was nearly finished in the spring wheat belt,
that the outlook for winter wheat was poor. and
that slow progress had been made with corn
planting. The present week will see
all the crops for the growing season
of 1885 in the ground. AS we approach the
harvest OF winter wheat we can see nothing at
all in the general situation which warrants any
change of the statements with regard to this i'm
portant crop, and as we have said, we now re-
peat, that the country does not realize fully the
widespread destruction of this crop. That every
bnshel of spring wheat now in the ground will be
needed, and that farmers will get good price
for it, we have not the slightest doubt We
hope next week to be able to lay before our
readers a very full and detailed report of the
wheat situation. both spring and winter, of the
Northwest"

the careless ease with which the balls were

however, after that. and, in consequence, they
got six errors credited to them. 1t was truly a
slugging match. The Omaha players became
ratified and discouraged, and their playing was
generally at fault the only one of the nine who
made no error being Meister, the left fielder
The only notable feature of the game was

Chicago Market Quotations.

CHICAGO, May 26.-When the Chicago Board
of Trade refused, four weeks ago, to allow its
quotations to go to any subscribers not approved
by It's committee on market reports. it excluded
its quotations from the Open Board of Trade.
The latter corporation retaliated by beginning
its day sessions at A. M, or one-half hour ear
lier than the Board of Trade, and has remained
open until o'clock each afternoon. The Board
of Trade yesterday decided to renew giving its
quotations to the open board, but the latter on
Saturday, completed arrangements with the
Merchants and Bankers Telegraph Company to
send out its own quotations. and has taken no
definite action with respect to the proposal made
by the Board of Trade James III. Milne, a mem
Der of the committee on market reports, owing

A Lunatic in Charge of a LOCOMOTIVES.

MACON, Ga, May 26.-Jessup is the meeting
point for trains of the lower division of the East
Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia railroad, and has
negro character known as "Crazy Bill" At 8
o'clock yesterday morning freight train of
thirty cars, bound for Macon, was awaiting the
arrival of a passenger train from Macon. Bill
stole into the locomotive cab, blew the whistle
and started off, shooting over many switches,
but keeping the track. The lunatic ran the train
five miles, but was stalled at the foot of hill,
as the water in til boiler ran low. The engineer,
yardmaster and others, on seeing the train leave
ran after and found it at the hill. The lunatic
on stopping blew the signal for a switchman
and then sat down on the end of a cross tie. and
was found there by crowd, reading hisTesta-
ment. He was secured and no time lost in side
tracking the train which was accomplished just
as the passenger train came up But for the
stoppage the freight would have met the pas
senger train in a frightful collision. The luna
tic was placed in jail, and will be sent to an
asylum. The only damage done was the tearing
up of the track in the yard at Jessup.

BAD Outloox for Tobacco.

LOUISVILLE, May 26-Inquiry among the to-
bacco men and planters reveals the fact that
the tobacco crop is not less than thirty days be-
hind. The rains that have fallen in and about
Louisville recently have only been local, and
even as close as one hundred miles down the
Nashville road not drop of rain has fallen re-
Gently. In the Logan county section there have
been no indications of rain, while in Shelby,
Henry, Owen and other counties, but two or
three slight showers have helped to put the land
in condition for planting purposes The conse-
quences are that many of the largest farmers
are planting their tobacco land in corn. The set
tings are going to be both scarce and inferior,
and unless the rest of the season is extremely
favorable the tobacco crop will be one Of the
poorest ever known.
