AT THE COLLEGE,.

l. The freshmen have challenged the.
|. V. NJ. freshmen to play game at
Burlington, but as yet have received no
reply.
There is prospect of tirst-class nine
from the college next spring. as the class
of 80 comes in with number of good
players who will greatly strengthen the
team.
Saturday afternoon the East Middle
bury base ball club came to town and
played against the college team, being
defeated by "A score of ii to II. Eight
errors We're made by the college team.
and eleven by the visitors. Ross pitched
most of the game for the college, but
was so tired out by the rush in the morn
ing as to impair his efficiency. Howe,
81, also tried his hand at it. but as he
had lame arm and could get no speed
was batted freely. The East Mddlebury
club made 20 base hits with total of %
and the college team IA with total l6.
The cane rush took place Saturday
morning after chapel. The two classes
were drawn up, on the compus between
Starr Hall and the chapel, facing each
other, with Douglas, SO, and Ross, 30,
between them. These two grasped the
cane and at signal the two classes
rushed in. The cane was carried down
Waldo avenue in the midst of strug-
CLING mass of under-classmen, while the
seniors and Juniors followed on and
yelled themselves hoarse. After about
ten minutes the freshmen succeeded in
gaining complete control of the cane
and taking it into chapel. 1t will be cut
up and the pieces preserved as memen-
toes by the members of the class. I

In Jail For Debt.
New York Letter.


A man was put in Jail yesterday for debt.
Heavens. how many of us would be in prison if
this absurd law was carried to its limit! 1t is
nothing new in New York for a man to be sent
to prison because he owes some one, but such a
case as has been presented to-day is real ro-
nance of the fiction of justice More than a
quarter of a century ago man borrowed SOC Of
firm, paid So month for the use of it for
some time and was finally arrested for the
principal He gave bail and for quarter of a
century has renewed his bail every three years.
He is now old, decrepit and poor. The men to
whom he owed the money are dead out of
business. yet when the time came for him to re-
new his bond his former securities were not
again willing to 60 on it. He could not get any
others; therefore he had to go to Jail. No one
makes any complaint against him, one wants
him in prison, and yet the old man. fast nearing
the final ray OF sunset. is behind the bars and
might have remained there a long time but that
the newspapers to-day called attention to this
most remarkable instance Of the folly Of the law
of imprisonipg people for debt. 1t is curious
what freaks the law sometimes takes.

The Fight on Cleveland.
Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.

opeclai TO CInclnndcl enquirer.
1t now comes out that Manning aid Whitney
three weeks ago threatened to resign from tho
Cabinet if Cleveland did not ask for Garlands
commission. But they were unable to carry out
their threat from domestic troubled in the family
of one of them, where sickness changed the
situation The general attack on Cleveland made
him resolve to resist Garlands removal for the
present. though he treats the Arkansas Traveller
with the most brutal contempt The Northern
men of the Cabinet express establishment at GAR
lands want of sensbility. His friends put all
the blame on Senator Harris, of Tennessee.
General Joe Johnston, whom nobody accuses of
culpability is most distressed of any of the Pan
electric people. Garland wrote letter in May,
1885, telling Van Bethuysen, Of New Orleans,
that he. as Attorney-general had no right to
bring a suit against patent that the Commits
sioner of Patents must do it. This puts John
Goode into hole. Cleveland lately insulted Judge
Field personally, telling him he had heard he
was corporation man. Field said he heard
similar things about Cleveland when he vetoed
the fvecent-fare bill. Most OF the Democrats
are goirg to let Cleveland 90 by default when
Edmunds, Ingalls, and Logan show him up on
the refusal of papers Mr.. Villas, by order of
the administration. asked for insinuations and
libels against Office holders, and these papers
which have gone on file are mass of filthy per-
jures, of which even Cleveland is ashamed, and
will not show the filth he has advertised for.
This administration is snapper at the top and
diamond backed terrapn underneath.

THE WINTER WHEAT.
An Excellent Showing for the Growing Plant.
but Another Fall of Snow Is Desirable.

CHICAGO Feb. 23-The following crop sum-
mary will appear in the Farmers Review this
week:
''Of the numerous returns made by CORE
snendents, the returns from the winter wheat
fields are almost uniformly good. They present
an outlook very nearly as favorable as saose
sent in early in 1885. when the prospect was
exceedingly good for large yield. Snow has
entirely disappeared from the fields,
enabling very clear understanding as
to the condition of the plant, and
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky
and Kansas, it is reported as looking strong and
healthy. The utter disappearance of the snow
covering is the only serious menace now threat
enine the growing grain, and with another gen
eral fall of snow, the outlook could hardly be
better than is presented in the reports OF
correspondents. A prolonged season of cold
weather, with the fields still unprotected. would
undoubtedly cause damage which might com
pletely change the tenor of the reports. The
latest reports from California, Oregon and Wash
ington Territory are generally more favorable
than at the same time last year.
Out of twenty counties in Kansas, eighteen re-
port the crop in good condition, while unfavora
BILE returns are made from Ottawa and Wyan-
dotte counties, where the plant shows injury
from freezing while unprotected. With the ex-
ception of Howard and Hendricks counties in
Indiana the outlook is reported to be very favor
able. Reports from Ohio are uniformly favora-
BILE. In southern Illinois two counties report a
poor outlook, but the remaining counties make
a very good showing. From central Illinois the
returns are uniformly good. The returns from
Kentucky and Missouri are generally of glowing
character, and in the former State the outlook
is considered brighter for good crop than
before in many years. Michigan reports
do not indicate any larger yield than last year,
but the reports are generally favorable. In Ten
nessee the reports indicate an average outlook.
While it is not yet possible to give anything
like exact data, the acreage in all the States,
with the possible exception of Michigan. will
show falling off as compared with last year:
The reports indicate that the stocks of cid
wheat in Dakota, Kansas, Missouri. Tennessee,
Kentucky and Illinois are pretty well exhausted
while considerable wheat is still held in farm
ers' hands in Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan.
