With the bleak and dismal rain turn
ing the lingering snow on the graves at
Old Swedes into repulsive slush, the last
prayers were said last Tuesday after
noon over the mortal remains of Miss
Katherine Lee Bayard. The wretched
weather tended to keep down the throng,
but there was enough of it to crowd the
antique church until lngress or egress
was impossible. Among the many pres
ent were Secretaries Whitney and Endi.
colt, Colonel Lamont, Hon. Wade Hamp-
ton, Senator Gray, Governor Stockley,
Secretary of State W. F. Causey and his
brother John w. Causey, Private Secre-
taries Bryan and McFee, Judge Wales
and many others. Secretary Bayard' S
eldest surviving daughter, Mrs. Mabel
Warren, leaned on his arm, followed by
DR.. and Mrs. Kane, the Secretary S
sister. and Mr.. Bayard's sons Thomas F.
and Philip. The services began prompt.
ly at o'clock with the hymn "Jesus is
Risen from the Dead" the chanting of
the Litany and the reading of the last 30
verses |. Cor XIV. by Rev. Charles Breck
another hymn, the Apostles Greed, and
prayer followed, after which the Rev
Dr. Martin, rector of Trinity parish, led
the sad procession to the grave, reciting
| the words of the burial service Il Am
| the Resurre ction and the Life" AS the
casket was slowly lowered to its place in
the family vault, the rain, which had
dwindled to drizzle, ceased to fall, and
the sun struggled out from behind the
clouds and cast a cheering light into the
tomb and upon the sweet flowers, which
were grouped in such profusion over the
burial-case as to fairly cover it from
view. At the head of the tomb stood
Secretary Bayard, his daughters, sons
and sister, gazing lolg and lingeringly
| upon the flower encanopied coffin, while
at the foot were grouped Senator Gray
| and Others near to the family.
With quivering lips Mr.. Bayard at
length turned from the open grave, and
the sad rites were over, and as the
mourners filed back to their carriages
the sun went back into the clouds and
the sky grew murky and the air misty
again.

the law Of procuring evidence against
prisoners charged with violation of the
Local Option Law. His motion was not
carried but before it was finally put down
a warm discussion arose between several
believers and non believers in the efli-
cacy of the present Local Option Law.
Tue meeting was thrown into utter con-
fusion for time, but no i'll feeling was
cngendered on either side. John E.
Wilson cuutended that Cecil county had
never been in such disreputable condi.
tion as it is at present, while on the
other side his opponents contended that
such was not the case. Mr.. Wilson's
idea vas to deprecate the efficiency oi
the present law while his opponents
were not willing to admit that it was a
failure. Several minor committees were
appointed to execute the business of the
organization. There was little order

deal of time was consumed in doing
work that could otherwise have been

Washington telegram.


The spring wheat returns to the Depart
ment of Agriculture for August show an
Improvement in condition in Iowa, small
decline in Wisconsin and Nebraska, and a
heavy reduction in Dakota. The causes OF
deterioration are drought and chinch-bugs.
Heat has been excessive in many districts
that have produced a fair yield, notwith-
standing. The harvest is two weeks earlier
than usual and the quality is unusually
good, except in sections where heavy loss
from blight has occurred.
The general average of condition is re-
duced from 1872 to so. At the time of har-
vest last year the average was Sc. A part
of the loss last season occurred after Aug.
i. As the present harvest is already nearly
over, with improved meteorological condi-
tons, the final estimate can not be much
further reduced. The present average is 81
for Iowa, instead of 80 last month. No
less than twenty five counties, each pro-
ducing from 200, 900 TO / 200, 600 bushels,
report the condition at 100 or over. In
Minnesota there is an increase from IS to
80. The reduction in Wisconsin is from
20 to ~, in Nebraska from SO to 81, and in
Dakota from SO to 62.
The cotton crop has suffered from wet
weather in all States east of the Missis-
sippi and in Louisiana. The average of
condition has been reduced from SO to 81,
