THE CROPS OF THREE STATES.
The Average Area and Condition of Wheat
Very Much Better than a Year Ago.

The Indiana Farmer will this week publish its
first monthly crop report for the season of 1886.
embracing the most reliable information to be
obtained, gathered from correspondents in every
county In Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. While
March weather Is usually the most unfavorable
70 the wheat plant, that month this season was
not specially severe. However. the season up to
the present date has been backward. While the
plant. under a few favorable days Of sun and
showers, began to look green and grow, the last
days of March and first of April have been cold,
and growth has been checked, though ne
damage is reported. In Indiana the per
cent. of average in area is 81. and the
condition 81. while last year at the
Rame date the area was SO and the condition 6S.
The per cent of average area in Ohio is 96, and
condition 90, against 90 per cent. in area and 78
IN condition last year. In Illinois the per cent.
of average area is 90. and condition 90. Last
year at the same date the area was Sc and condi.
ton GO. Last year there were but Ia counties in
Indiana which reported a full average area, and
but 10 counties which reported the condition Of
the plant at 100 per cent. This year 40 counties
of the State report 100 for area, and % counties
100 on condition. The reports from Ohio and
Illinois stand about relatively the same in these
respects as Indiana, which show the condition of
the wheat plant much better than at the same
date last year in all these States.
The following is a summary Of the averages
on the different crops in the these three States:

THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
The Official Canvass Of Mondays Vote
Leaves Many's Majority Unchanged.
The Entire Republican Ticket Elected and Sew
eral Gratifying Victories in the Outside
Townships-How Democrats Take 1t.

The election inspectors began their official can
vass of Mondays vote at the Office of Trustee
kitz yesterday morning. They were in session
from 8 o'clock until 6 in the evening, and had it
not been for a delay on the part of the judges in
returning the poll-books and tally-sheets of the
Second precinct of the Eighteenth ward. and
those of the Third precinct of the Fourth ward,
the count would have been completed two hours
eaglier. Messengers had a great deal of diff
Guilty in finding the returns of the Eighteenth
ward precinct, which, by the way, is Sim Coy's
voting place, but at 5 o'clock or whereabouts
they came in with the papers and ballot-box.
They found them at the house of John Edwards,
one of the judges of the election. Edwards
Ia the man whom the County Commissioner
appointed in the place of O. Fl. P. Abbott, of
the postofdce, whom, Lawyer Spencer said, could
not serve without being charged with offensive
partisanship. 1t was nearly 6 o'clock before the
Third precinct. First ward, returns were in pos
session of the inspectors. They were in the
house of George Mayer, an election judge, on
Pendleton pike.
The canvass was not disturbed by any discus
sions, protests or errors of material weight In

the Democrats admitting the justice of the re-
vised count. 1.-THE returns" said one of the in
s%pectors, have been very singularly free from
errors. The official ~footings will differ but little
from those published in the Journal this morn
ing" When the official figures of the Second
precinct. Eighteenth ward, were approved with
out the necessity of correction, the fact that the
Republicans had carried Sim Coy's precinct by a
majority of one was confirmed. An event
of such moment to hummer Democracy did
not even call for a murlnur of qualification or
dissatisfaction It seemed to be- accepted as a
matter of course that when Sim went down
Democracy had to go with him.
Trustee Kitz conducted the canvass, with N.
5. Byram and W.. F. A.. Bernhamer as secreta-
ries. Deputy County Clerk Smock assisted in
the a~rithmetical part of the days business.
When the ~footings were made on their respective
tally-sheets by Mr.. Byram and Conrad Miller,
who relieved Bernhamer for the time, but slight
differences occurred. After their corrections
were made the total official vote stood as follows:

Said a gentleman yesterday: 1.-THE Central
Union talked about furnishing the city, for the
wires of the fire alarm telegraph, a thousand
poles. The ordinance giving them the use of
the streets and alleys, / believe, also gives them
the right to string their wires upon the fre-alarm
poles. The telephone company used those poles
until the number of their wires made the weight
so great that they had to put up heavier poles.
They took down the city's poles and replaced
them with these heavier ones. Now, it is my
opinion, they cannot take those heavier poles
away when they remove their wires"
II do not think" said City Attorney Taylor,
1.-THE number of poles go great-probably only
three hundred; while, on the other hand, the
city has wires on perhaps an equally large mum

not think the company may remove them"

Fire in q Lounge Factory.

damaged by. fire yesterday morning at Z
o'clock. The fire started from an overheated

the ~infammable stock in the building
that it was impossible to ex:insuish the flames
before the contents of the factory had been con
sumed. The loss is estimated at 81, 800, which is
partly covered by insurance in the Indiana.

The Central Union Making Preparations to
Withdraw from the ~State-0ther Com
panies Seeking Admission to the Field.

The syndicate Of gentlemen of this city, thir-
teen in number. who have been endeavoring to
arrange in some way for continuing the tele-
phone service here with the plant of the Central
Union Telephone Company as 1t now stands,
have failed to do so. II think" said one of the
citizens interested. s'the chief reason for the
failure lies in the fact that the telephone people
were afraid that it would be shown that by such
arrangement il could be run at an expense to
each user of So so. or less, per month. They were
afraid of the record. A letter, however, has
been received from the directors intimating a de-
sire to negotiate further on some points

all, but anybody could come in as a partner, on
signing an agreement to pay a prorata share OF
the expenses. The attorneys of the Central
Union com~pany-their own attorneys-drew up
the proposition. sent it to Chicago, and then the
directors in their meeting at Chicago would not
accept it,"
In answer to the question Of a Journal re-
porter Mr.. John f. Wallick remarked: "Why

may call the association of gentlemen-why

HOW THEY TALE AFTER THE BATTLE.
No Democrat who took any part in the heat of
the campaign was venturesome in opinions as to
the cause of defeat. Some said they knew Sum
day night what the result would be. In this
there was some truth, so far as Sim Coy is con-
cerned. He is always provided with figures, and
estimates pretty closely, no matter what his
other shortcomings as a politician may be.
When asked Sunday evening as to what he ex-
pected, he declined to say anything except this:
Nov, l give this to you In confidence. / don't
want you to publish it. If our organization,
which is better than any we have had for years,
works as it ought tomorrow. Rodgers will be
elected by a small majority. If it does not, the
Republicans will down us. AS ten polls upon
which we have been working for the past few
days show a majority for Many Of nearly 800.
you can see we have a hard
row to hoe" This caught Sim in
one of his confidential moods, and his estimate of
Many's plurality fell short only l24 votes. Other
Democrats are talking about what they knew
two weeks ago, and all of them are wearied with
the experiment of putting a man on the ticket to
catch the workiugmen's votes.
II could have told the party the result the
night Rodgers was nominated. | was for Geisel,
but the delegation was packed for Rodgers, re-
marked a ward-worker. I'VE worked for his
election without any hope of success
1T is all right, said Commissioner Sahm. Il
know we will have a good trustee in Mr.. Many,
and our Board is disposed to stand by him in
opening the books of his predecessor and in cut
ting down expenses. am just as much interest
ed in his making a good record as he himself is. l."
