that ever pulled up within its confines
Il was day OF general rejoicing,
and those who were present say
that none OF the many roads
that have since come TO this city and
passed on beyond ever created such en-

CROP PROSPECTS

sion at Philadelphia-Ihe
Presidents Letter.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, September 15.-The
Republican this morning prints replies
from its correspondents in ls5 counties
in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas in
answer to inquiries concerning the
crop prospects. 1t may be stated OF
these three great States that the pas
turage has certainly been damaged to
an extent that prec udes possible i'm
provement; that the c,rn yield will
be better than expected, an average Of
about eighteen to twenuy-seven and a
hall bushels to the acre, on an in
creased area; that fall blowing has
not been general, farmers are late and
retarded by drouth; that the con-
ditions are fairly favorable for winter
wheat sowing; that the winter wheat
acreage will be the same as last year,
or slightly greater, perhaps; that more
than half the wheat crop has been
sold or consumed.

WHY THEY WIN.
The Question Settled In Favor OF
American Graft.

New York Star: The victory CT the
Mayfower in the decisive race Of yes
tsrday puts beyond controversy the
superiority OF the American model in
rega,tae. 1t is no longer a question OF
"Galatea weather" or "Msyaower
weather, since it has BEEN shown that
the use OF the centerboard enables the
American sloop to readily adapt her
self to altering conditions Of wind or
tide. A yacht OF the Mayhower model
can SWIM as buoyantly as a duck on
smooth waters, propelled by light
Windp, while the cutter, with her
heavy, permanent keel, has to wait for
breeze enough to propel an oidfash-
Toned full rugged ship before she can
hope to win rsce. The American
boat is so msds as 10 edapt itself to all
racing conditions, but the English has
to find conditions to suit it; and, as
winds vary during even single race,
it is not often that the conditions the
English boat requires obtain long
enough to insure victory. In a word,
the cutter is coat for heavy weather,
and the center board yacht is boat
for all weathers, ready 10 meet them
with her change Of draft and drag ss
they may come.
What the result might be in trans
marine race is a different matter, but
for all in shore and near shore rival
ries the question is settled that the
American center board craft beats the
English deep keeled cutter.

Murderous masked burglars.

Mesdville (Pa.) special says Burglars
entered the house of John PARK in
KerrtowD, a suburb, at 2 o'clock this
morning and after terribly abusing the
inmates, succeeded in carrying off
from $1,000 to $1,000 in cash secreted in
the house. The two masked robbers
entered Mrs. Parks room and with
pistol and knife demanded her money.
She refused and was knocked down,
but upon regaining CONSEQUENCES told
where the money was concealed, I'M
der threat of death. The husband,
coming to the rescue, was knocked
down and left stunned and bleeding.
Mrs. Park finally succeeded in reach

greatly roused at the bold Outrage.
