A Female Sam Jones Excites the Hoosiers.

A special from Marion Ind, gives an ac-
count of remarka BILE effects produced by the
exhortations OF Mrs. Mary Mershon, of
Mrs. Woodworth, II noted trance evangel-
ist. Mrs. Mershon is about 60 years old,
has broad forehead, black hair and eyes
and is of medium height. She has pleas
ing and commanding presence and graceful
bearing. Her theology is of the heroic order.
The plain. unpretentious and eloquent
preaching had its effect. The attendance in
creased. Her enthusiasm took mold of her
hearers. The fame and report OF the wild
scenes enacted spread among the people
and the attendance and interest were FUR
ther magnifed and multiplied.
The spectacle at times is wild, wierd and
unearthly. The most nervous and excit-
able soon succumb and 60 under ''the pow
err They are stretched out in every atti-
tude. They become rigid and their wide
open, staring eyes had n deathlike and un-
earthly expression, as though gazing upon
scenes not presented to the eyes of mortals.

most extravagant scenes yet enact

Crops Suffering From Dry Weather.

Crops Suffering From Dry Weather.
The Pioneer Press presents reports on
the condition OF the wheat crop from ev-
cry important wheat-growing county In
Minnesota and Dakota, and about one
hundred counties in Iowa, Wisconsin and
Nebraska. These reports show the crop
to be in much worse condition than on
June i. The dry weather in May, which
became quite a severe drouth in June, had
more serious effect small grain than
was at first supposed, and the injury
caused them is just now becoming
painfully apparent. There has been very
little rain since the first week in June, and
no general rain since seeding time. The
sections not affected by drouth are the Red
river vslley from Wahpeton to Grand Forks,
and the Northern Pacific country from
Brainerd to Bismarck, in Minnesota and
Dakota. South of the forty sixth parallel
the weather has been very dry, the drouth
being severest in the extreme southern
counties of Minnesota and Dakota, ex-
tending well down iuto Northern Iowa.
In Southern Minnesota and Dakota
wheat was sown, in most counties, in the
dust and the rains since then have been
light and not frequent enough to give the
ground Il good soaking. During the stool
ing period, in May, the weather was very
dry and the result is that the crop is thin
on the ground and short in straw. The in
tensely hot weather OF the past ten days
has added materially to the injury, as the
ground was in no condition to withstand
any serious drouth.

Reads like a FairY TaIe.

From the SVtUdHiD (Gd.l IslephOHe.
We are reliably informed that, on Tues
day Of last week, about the coolest day in
this section for the last century, Mr..
Edward Oliver. residing about twelve
miles above this place, went out TO hunt
some of his hogs, taking a negro boy
along with him. After rambling about
for some time they came to a pond and
crossing 1t on the ice they discovered on
the edge a considerable pile Of leaves and
straw. rather peculiarly heaped together;
procuring a pole they proceeded to poke
it into the mass to find out what could be
its occupant, when, 10 their utter aston
ishment, out jumped a huge alligator
which attacked them furiously, putting
them to fight. Mr.. Oliver took to his
heels across the pond on the ice with the
monster in hot pursuit, but he did not 60
far before a slip upon the ice brought him
fat, and the dreaded reptile was upon
him. He thought his time had certainly
come. but in his desperation he seized mis-
formidable Toe by the upper and lower
Jaws ana held its mouth open until the
negro came up and put a stick in it, thus
prOpping Its jaws apart and rendering il
helpless. They then proceeded to eX-
terminate his 'gatorship, which was soon
accomplished. II measured something
over six feet in length.

KeIIett's Killing.
From the Canton IGa.l 4 dgano

From tho Canton (Ga.) Ad0dnos.
The family of James Mccoy, who it is
charged shOt and killed Deputy United
States Marshal Kellett, on Lookout Noun
tain few weeks since, have removed
from Alabama back to their place in this
county. Mr.. Simeon G. Mccoy, brother
of James, was in town Monday last ana
told us that more exaggerated stories and
Overdrawn conclusions had been written
concerning this killing than were justifi-
able. The ball, he said, that Kelett or
Mount shot and came near killing Jim
with is still in his (Sims) possession and
consequently has not been shot at
Kellett nor Mount as reported.
He said from talks had
with the best citizens living in the neigh
borhood of where Kellett was killed that
all were satisfied that Jim did not do the
killing, and that a complete alibi could
be set up and proven by a number of
truthful, honest. respectable citizens Of
the county in which the killing was done.
Simeon is satisfied almost beyond a doubt,
from what he can learn, that the Youngs
are murderers OF kelett. Jim, he said,
would so to trial, and, he believed, be com
pletely exonerated from all accusations,
and prove conclusively TO any fair mind
ed, impartial person that he did not ar
range for nor do the killing OF kellett.

SENDING OUT SEED.
What is Being Done at the state Agri-
cultural Department.
From No Aaant1 tGa.) Constitution.

From the Atlant1 tGa.) Constitution.
There Is good deal of life and activity
| about the Agricultural Department, and
the outlook promises even more than is
now seen there every day.
The demand for tobacco seed is as large
as ever. Every mail brings on an average
fifty applications for them, and these APP
plications are attended to as rapidly as
they come in. The general opinion of the
| applicants, as set forth in their letters,
is that cotton is nolonger king in Georgia,
| and that tho crown will have to go to
some other product. Although the crop
of cottsn in this State was large last year,
the quality was poor in consequence Of
the bad weather, and prices have not been
satisfactory.
! AS q general thing the farmers raised
enough corn to carry them through to the
n"Xs crop, but are out of money, at 1t
took all that they got for their cotton to
| paw their fertilizer notes and satisfy debts
made for provisions. There seems to be
strong feeling in favor of I 'anting diver
sified crops, and making tobacco one Of
the leading products.
FULLY THOUSAND .AC6AGEs
of seed have already been sent out, all OF
them upon applications, and that is the
only way that they can be procured, as
to only such persons who will give the
| planting of tobacco a fair and square
| trial. He does not want 70 see the seed
wasted by getting into the hands Of any
one who will not plant it.
| A registration book is kept, in which is
recorded every package OF seed sent out
| by the department and to whom sent.
| Capt j. W. Murphy is attending to the
! distribution of tue seed, and Is pushing

! all applicants will get them in time to en-
| sure an early planting OF the crop. The
manual will probably be delivered by the
! printer To the commissioner to-day, as
well as the supplemental crop report.
| These publications are gotten up in most
admirable style, and contain volumes OF
VALUABLE INFORMATION
Of interest TO the farmers Of Georgia.
They Will be sent out at once, as they are
in great demand.
While the work of distributing tobacco
seed is going on other seed are coming 10
rapidly to be sent out in similar man.
ner. Five bushels Of watermelon seed of
the variety known as the "Kolb Gem"
variety have been received at the depart
ment and yesterday 100 bushels Of pea
nuts or ''goObers" of a Spanish variety,
said to be very prolific, were delivered at
the department. II is said that this Vari-
ETY. will produce 300 bushels to the acre on
ordinary soil, and that about peck OF
them will plant an acre.
A large quantity OF cotton seed and 10
pounds of OrinocO tobacco seed, which
seems to be more in demand than any
other variety of tobacco, have been or
dered.
Commissioner Henderson and his assis-
tants are doing all they can To give the
farmers of the State an opportunity to not
only diversity their crops, but to supply
them with the best varieties OF seed 10
