The Coming Crops.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The following crop
summary will appear in this weeks
Farmers Review: The great fear OF a
drouth which has been threatening the
spring wheat sections still continues a
serious menace to the growidg grain. Very
hot winds have prevailed in Dakota and
Minnesota, adding to the already serious
outlook in many portions OF that State
and Territory. The effects of th drouth
have begun to be seriously felt in Wisconsin,
Iowa and Nebraska and very few of the
reports received down to Saturday night but
dwell upon this fact. Many fields OF oats
are reported as turning yellow, and the in
jury to that cereal threatens now TO be
more severe than even to wheat itself.
Reports from Indiana indicate that the
yield OF winter wheat will fall slightly below
the average. In some OF the counties " heat
has gone back during the past three or four
weeks. The general prospect in Ohio is still
good and the State has promise OF full
average yield. In Kansas and Michigan,
the prospect has not changed. The off
cial reports indicating that Kansas will not
produceto exceed an1 l 600, 900 bushel yield
only confirms the reports of widespread
injury inflicted on crops early in the sea son.
Harvesting is progressing iii Missouri, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, and the general tenor OF
reports continues very favorable.

IN THE SECOND BOUND.
Sam Smell Succumbs to Tom Manntng's
Superior PrOwess.

Superior PrOwess.
The Manning-Snell glove fight Saturday
night at the Amphitheater was witnessed
by about $50 admirers OF the so-called
manly art" It was rattling mill The
articles of agreement called for eight
Queensbury rounds, for points, but it
was an open secret in the select circle OF
pugilism that the battle would be for rblood
in fact, that the 'scrap" would result in
nothing less than the defeat OF one OF the
contestants. This impression was created
by the existence OF ill-feeling between the
men, aroused, it is said, by Smell having
openly proclaimed that he considered him
self as good a man as Manning Smell has
figured as a wrestler, and Manning is the
hero OF a score of hotly contested prize
fights.
When the men stood stripped to the
waist last night it was apparent that Sneils
condition was inferior to that OF his oppon-
ent. His well-bult frame exhibited q
snnerAuitv of adipose, while Manning 3
muscles were adamant and his skin tightly
drawn over them.
The men advanced briskly when Referee
Billy Lynn called them to the scratch.
Manning forced the lighting from the start.
and clung to his opponent with bulldog
tenacity from which there was no escape.
Smell fought nobly as long as he could, but
soon weakened under the volley OF right
and left handlers which Manning pitilessly
poured in on his face and neck, and at last
went down under a terrific blow on the
jugular. He rallied, however, and fought
pluckily until time was called, when he
staggered to his corner in decidedly groggy
condition. Manning walked to his chair as
iauntily as boy going home from school.
The spectators fairly howled their approval
OF the game manner in which the round had
been contested.
Round two opened with rush from
Manning. before which Smell was forced al
over the ring. and at last resorted to
clenching as the only meaus OF escaping
two-handed sighting. In one OF these
clenches b" utilized his wrestling knowledge
by throwing Manning over his back, but
the next instant the plucky pugilist was on
his feet and pursuing his opponent, regard
less of the shouts OF foul from his seconds
and the spectators. He drove Smell into
the latter's corner, and kept him there
! under a shower OF vicious face-thrusts from
the shoulder Smell attempted rush, and
succeeded in advancing a few steps toward
the center when he was beaten back again.
A thoroughly defeated man, he pulled OF
the gloves and staggered out Of the ring,
and amid whirlwind of cheers Manning
was declared the victor.
The fight was undoubtedly one Of the
pluckiest ever witnessed in Butte. There
was nothing attached to it savoring OF
hippodrome, an; for once the spectators
of a glove-fght were thoroughly satisfied
| that they had received their money 8 worth

StrunH Up,

GRAND Forks, Dak., June 12.-It is
learned here that a few days ago lynching
occurred near St. Andrews, five miles north
OF here, on the Red River. One Becknot,
working for farmer on the Minnesota
side. supplanted the latter in his wife's
affections. After trying in vain to induce
Becknot to leave peacefully, the farmer in:
vited in his reighbors, opened a keg OF
whisky, and, after they were sufficiently
drunk related his wrongs and suggested
lynching as the remedy. Becknot was
caught and strung 10 to limb, the al
legged intention being only to frisbten him.
When let down he was extinct

Three Chicago Policemen Have Lively
Tussls With Wretched Old Woman.
CHICAGO. June IA petition was filed
in the County Court yesterday by E. D.
Neal to have Margaret jacobson declared
insane. Mrs. jacobson is an aged pauper,
who is known as CRAZY Maggie" For
twenty years she has lived in a shanty on
an otherwise untenanted lot. The shed
was erected many years ago for storage
purposes, It's size is about 1Ox15 feet.
Cray Maggie's" only companions for six
teen years have been dogs, of which she
by her from puppyhood. She lived life Of
almost total abstinence, and her meals con-
sisted OF refuse which she gathered up from
neighboring ash barrels. 1t was popularly
supposed that she was without the means
of Subsistence, except what she begged.
Three officers from the County Court
went out to take her into custody. They
were Obliged to break in the door OF the
hovel and were at once set upon by three
OF the six dogs, the others being too old to
show fight. The brutes were promptly hit
IN the heads with stout clubs which the
Sheriffs carried, and Crazy Maggie put,
screaming, into carriage. The shanty
was absolutely without furniture. A fire
cended through d stove-pipe stuck through
the roof. The woman declared that she
had money in the house. The officers were
disposed to doubt this at first, but she was
SO persistent that two OF them returned
to the hovel while third held the woman,
and a search OF half an hour unearthed
81 900. The first find was an old battered
satchel which was weighed down with 1851
in silver halves, quarters. dimes and
nickels. Several stockings were next found
Loaded with gold, and in half a doze cram
MES other stockings were discovered, some
containing $40 or SIS in gresnbacks and
others as much as $50.
The fire in the shanty was extinguished
the hovel barred up and Crazy Maggie
driven to the Jail, her money turned over
to her and a receipt taken for it. MIR. Neal
the owner Of the property, explained his
action in filing petition as the only means
he had OF disposing OF the miser. He wants
the land to build on.

were divided as they were, it was impossible
for both OF them to be wrong, which
gave a chance for justice and righteousness
to be done aid the country was to be con-
gratu'ated. Laughter.] He deemed it
unfortunate that the point OF order should
have been made, for il was evident that
the point would have to be sustained. Why
not withdraw the point and let the country
see how many OF the patriotic Democrats,
who had applauded to the echo the assaults
made to their brother Democrat from
Maryland, (Finlay,) would venture to put
their names on the list. Let the country
up and record themselves in favor OF
economy and reform as presented by the
Committee ON Appropriations.
The Chairman then delivered careful
decision in which. he reviewed the provis-
ions OF the Civil Service law and scope Of
the rule under which the point OF order
was raised. and finally sustaining the
point, ruled the provision out of the bill.
Mr.. Gibson, of Maryland, moved tostrike
out the appropriation for the Commission.
He opposed the Civil Service law. and de-
clared If the Democratic party illustrated
the very genius and essence Of the Republics
representative Government. That party
needed no light along its pathway for

Reform. The Democratic party needed
no reform. It was to-day the embodiment
Of reform. [Derisive laughter on the Re-
publican side.] The gentlemen might laugh.
but he challenged successful controver-
sion OF that position--uhat the Democratic
party was to-day the embodiment OF reform
IN politics.
Mr.. Gibson's motion was lost by lS to
rs.
The bill was then read without incident
until the clause relative to the life saving
service was reached, when Mr.. Taulbee, OF
Kentucky, called up the motion made by
him last night to strike out the appropria-
tion for the Assistant General Superin-
tendent,. which was rejected. After several
minor matters had been discussed the
House took recess until 8 p. m, the ses-

The Crawford-Dnke Divorce Case.

divorce case was in court again to-day on
the issue Of Sir Charles Dilke's right to have
tire Queens proctor reopen the case in
order to enroll the member for Chelsea to
produce testimony 10 his own vindication.
Crawford asked the Court to refuse to al
low the proctor to intervene, alleging that
the only witnesses who would be produced
to contradict the ss,niession OF Mrs. Craw-
ford were Sir Charles himself, (whom that
confession implicated) and his servants.
Mr.. Crawford contended that unless it
could be proved the divorce was obtained
by collusion, which was not alleged, the
proctor had no right to intervene in Sir
Charles Dilkes interest. The Judge decided
that the proctor had right to interfere if
fresh evidence now offered by Fannie Stock
and Sarah Gray was material evidence.
showing that the plaintiffs charges were
untrue. Continuing, the Judge said that
the Queens proctor must himself answer
the suggestion that he interviewed in Sir
Charles interest. The Judge said, he him
SELF did not believe the suggestion. He was
certain the proctor would not so violate
the duties OF his office. The Judge refused
to make Mrs. Crawford and Mrs. Charles
Dixie parties to the proctor's suit to
enable them to be heard by counsel.
