The Cat Crop HeAyy-A I.args
wheat Weld.
Special Correspondence f Gazette and journal
CHRIsTIANA, July 23.--The farmers in
this section are nearly done their oats
the crop will be heavy. The late planted
potatoes are free from bugs and from
present appearances bid fair for good
crop, which Inns not occurred for 20 years.
The early planted had a good many bugs,
which kept the farmers busy in saving
them. How it is that the bugs have not
attacked the late planted your correspon.
dent cannot say.
Richard Appleby, off of 60 acres, has
400 bushels of wheat, a good yield.
The grass crop in some sections Is
heavy. The corn crop bids fair for a
good yield. The heavy rains have brought
the late planted on and it bids fair for q
good crop.
There was large crowd from this
village and the surrounding country at
Stanton yesterday TO go on the Colchester
excursion.
Many of the farmers have not had time
to get their wheat in stack on account of
other pressing work and the frequent
rains.
The congregation of the Presbyterian
church will not have minister before
September. They have no regular pastor
and from all appearances there will be
only temporary preachers in the mean
time.
The small iron bridge over stream on
the road to Stanton is finished at Inst.

Tho Adjournmen, or Conprc... :


WASHINGTON, July 27.-The business OF
Congress will probably be finished by
Saturday next and the meeting on Monday
following will be simply for the purpose
of adjourning. In the meantime the en-.
rolling clerks can bring up their work
and the President will have time to con.
slider and take action upon the bills. II
is understood that the Senate committee
on app opriations had the adjournment
resolution under consideration and next
Saturday was mentioned, but it is generally
believed that Monday will be finally de-
termined upon. 1t seems now that the
only thing that is likely to delay the ad-
journment is the Fertilization bill. The
Senate amendment regarding heavy
ordnance may give rise to a protracted
debate and may cause some delay in nd
justing the differences between the two
houses. But it is thought these differences
can be adjusted in conference and the two
houses will accept the conferrees' report
without going into an extended discussion.

The war on the policy shops ana thoHe
who run them reached the point of battle
ON Saturday evening. AT 7.o'clock on that
evening Sewell Whitlock was arrested by
Sergeant Taylor ut the corner of Fifth
md Shirley streets, on the charge OF
writing policy, in violation of the order
issued by the mayor in the early part OF
tho week, and of the law upon which that
order was based. Half an hour later a
negro named Andrew Horsey was arrested
by Officer Grier and taken to the hall.
Whitlock is accused of writing policy
| in house which stands AT the rear OF al
| alley opening OH Fifth street between
Sbipley and Orange. Horsey is hanger
ON about the place, and acts as ianitor,
assisting also, it is alleged, in the details
of the games of policy and "Rweat." The
warrants were sworn ont before Magistrate
| VANDERBILT and the hearing took place Of
8 O'Clock in the evening. Whitlock' ap,
peared without counsel and plead not
| guilty. .,.e.s
that on Friday evening last he accom-
panied the mayor in walk along Firth
street, when they saw several persons
| coming out Of Whitlock's ''shop." One
of them, tho colored man who had been
arrested since, sat down ON the steps oil
the frame house next to the alley. They
approached and questioned the man
| GHorsey) and thus learned that
the shop had been open all day
| and that il had been doing
a nuiet business ever since the mayor
order was issued. Horsey said Whitloek
had been writing, but he pretended not
TO know what Horsey was then sworn
and corroborated the above testimony.
He said he was employed by Whitlock and
received his pay from him. Witlock made
a statement to the effect that he had
closed his place when he had received
notification of the mayors order, and had
not written since.
The magistrate required him to give
hail in 1900 to appear ut the court Of
