The Agricultural Departments Re.
pOrt.-A Fairly Good Outlook.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-The statement
of crop conditions on the first day of July,
prepared by Prof Dodge. the statistician of
the agricultural department, and tele-
graphed to the press on the 10th inst, is to-
day supplemented by fuller report giving
additional facts and figures of an interest
ing character. In this report the professor
says:
1.-THE area of corn is steadily increasing
with only the slightest impetus from foreign
demand, and still less from the spirit manu-
facturers. The increase in seven years,
since 1879, has been almost 20 per cent, and
the present area is about 100000 acres
The increase is rapid in the more recently
settled Western states for two reasons:
From settlement and home making
2-From substitution of corn for wheat
Settlers find the demand for wheat fixed
and little variable except that the worlds
supply affects demand everywhere, while the
demand for corn is elastic and may be
doubled with prices sufficiently low. i
Wheat has the support of
spectators while corn has seldom been
cornered." OF sprung wheat the report
says: The condition of spring wheat has de-
clined from 9S.5 in June to 1873 in conse-
quence of high temperature, drying winds

condition was So IN July and in consequence
of high temperature at a critical period fell

den fall and though only three points lower

ance of injurious weather would be likely to
threaten further and serious disaster. The
apparent depreciation in June in fifteen
points but it would be serious error to ap-
ply that reduction to the 145,0G00 600 bushels
of spring wheat harvested which represented
a condition Of eighty-siX harvested. Should
there be no further reduction, the present
condition should insure about 139. 000, 900 bu-
shells. 1t should be understood however
that a loss Of vitality so early in the season
exposes the crop to further injuries by the
heats of July and August and renders it
highly probable that the average condition at
harvest may be still lower. In this point of
view the injury is more serious than the av-
erage reported status of the crops would
make it. With favorable weather in July and

Rail Notes.

The cruel war is over and rates on the rail-
roads between st. Paul ard Chicago are re-
stored to the old figures. No more So rates to
Chicago for the present. The trains yester-
day were crowded.
Some one of the roads became very tired Of
the cut rates that have been running for the
last six weeks, and were very anxious to put
a stop to the business. The hurt bird dutters
very quietly though.
The Dakota railroad commissioners passed
through St. Paul yesterday for Milwaukee
and Chicago, to consult with the railroad of
ficials in regard to REIMBURSEMENT of present
tariff rates.
The Minnesota & Northwestern claims to
have obtained an entrance to the Minnesota
Transfer, as a condition for its agreement to
a restoration Of rates.
The Carrier Dove is due to-day at Port
land. Or, from Yokohama with large cargo
of tea, which will naturally come over the
Northern Pacific road.
Messrs. F. B. Clark and ]. 7. Clark of the
Omaha are still in Chicago attending to the
freight rates.
q The Wisconsin Central will run its first train

Passage OF the House ELL by the
Senate After Amendment.
WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Mr. ingalls, adj
dressed the senate. He said that towards
the close of the debate yesterday, eXasper-
ated by personal illusions intended to be
offensive, he had made some observations,
which, on reflection, he was persuaded had
exceeded the limits of propriety in debate,
and he availed himself of this, the first
public occasion to express his regret. He
then proceeded to argue against the bill.
An amendment was adopted reducing the
tax from 5 to 2 cents per pound and the
bill passed, yeas 81, nays "a. The section
as to penalty as amended reads as follows:
Every person who knowingly sells or offers
for sale or delivers or offers to deliver any
oleomargarine in any other form than in new
wooden or paper packages, or who packs in
any package any oleomargarine in any man.
ner contrary to law, or who falsely brands
any package or afixes stamp on any pack
age denoting q less amount of tax than that
required by law, shall be fined for each
otfense not more than $1,000 and be impris-
oned not more than two years.
MIR. Miller moved that the senate insist on
its amendments to the bill and ask the house
for conference. Agreed to.

showing his friends the big waves through

II am planning barrel for the purpose,
The one have now would never answer, and
1 don't care to be killed right off. 1t is risky
enough going through the rapids in a cast. I
shall make thorough experiments, sending
barrels over from Chippewa above the
Horse Shoe falls. If twenty out

reasonable time will take the chances, but
otherwise will not risk it. Iwould not hav@
half the nerve to go through to-day that had

swim through the rapids?''
mo, sir, don't. Capt. Webb was killed
before he passed through the breaker. In
the smooth water people said they saw him
treading water but he he was forced up and
down by the boilers, just as my cask was.
That water would break mans neck.''

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 2O.--A sensa-
Iion was created in the neighborhood of
seventeenth street and Portland avenue
last evening by desperate pugiIistic
encounter between two respectable young
iadles VINO live in that vicinity, The
Delllgerants were Mrs. Mary Miller and Miss
Maggie Cartlan. 1t seems that Mrs. Miller.
who is very handsome young woman and
the wife OF Mr.. j. Miller, is possessed of a
jealous nature. For some weeks mast her
young husband. it is alleged. has been
paying various attentions to Miss Cartlan.
Inc wife's jealousy was aroused and she
sent Miss Cartlan written communication
threatening her castigation if the young
husbands attentions received further en-
couragement. The young lady replied in
a note discourteous.
THE CLIMAX WAS REACHED
when Mrs. Miller discovered her husband
walking arm in arm with Miss Cartlan.
The wife said nothing, but last evening
spied the girl standing on the corner of
Seventeenth street waiting for a car. She
was at the girls side in a moment. and.
without word of warning, planted a
rlght:hander in her eye. A rough and
tumble encounter followed. and the angry
women. it is said, rolled each other in the
street in very ungraceful heaps. Efforts
were made to separate them, which proved
1rultleSs. Officer Stratham was called and
placed them under arrest. They accom-
panied the officer to the Seventeenth street
statlon where both parties gave bond. The
partles bear excellent regulations, and the
Illuminating exhibition is much deplored by
their friends.

SEVEN PEOPLE KILLED.
Two Trains Meet at Full Speed
with Horrible Results.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 20.-A special
engine coming north collided with the regrl-
lar train on the Louisville & Nashville rail-
road near Duck river, forty-eight miles
south of Nashville, at 6:15 p. IN. The col
lision occurred in deep cut with sharp
curve. making it impossible TO see each
other, hence the collision took place while
both trains were running at full speed.
Both engines are total wreck. The fol-
lowing is a list of the killed:
HENRY LAUMAN.
ROBERT BROWN. engineer and fireman of
the accommodation train
THAD BEECH and PAT KING, engineer
and fireman of the engine No. 519.

riding on the engine.
SECTION FOREMAN THOMSON of the
Nashville & Florence railroad, who was riding
on Engine 519.
There were only two passengers injured,
Rev. William M. Green, who was in the
smoking car, who was thrown against a
seat, cutting a cash over his left eye, not
serious; the other colored girl, name IN
known, who was slightly cut in the face.
The sight of the bodies is most horrible,
they being torn to pieces and scalded by the
escaping steam. 1t will probably be late
tomorrow before the wreck is cleared.

the most interesting yet given. Mrs. Craw-
ford testified. She confessed that she dis
liked her husband because he was too old.
that she loved Foster because he was hand
some and pleasing, and that she
committed adultery with Dixie for
, the purpose of obtaining divorce from
her hated husband. She spared Foster as far
as possible because she knew he was about to
marry. Under a strict cross eXaminatiOn
she confessed that she had committed adul-
terry only with Dixie and Foster, eXculpat-
ing two other society men. A remark
able feature was that when Mrs
Crawford was asked some question,
for instance, with regard to French vice,
adultery ETC.. She answered with the utmost
calmness Yes, yes" and even smiled
showing that she was naturally an utterly
abandoned woman, VINO rather gloried in
her shame. Mrs. Crawford spoke in soft,
pleasing tones, damaging Dixie without
eXculpating herself. The evidence given
to-day produced deep impression. Its
directness, cleamess and circumstantial
minuteness convinced all of its truth.
