The New York Star agrees with the Chi.
cago Tunes and the Boston Heruid that The
outlook In Indiana for the Democrats Is
cheering. The Star says:

Greenbackeis, and Prohibiiionists. To
carry the State General Harrison must draw
largely from the scattering voters, but what
makes this almost impossible l. the fact that
he Is unpopular with those elements from
which the votes must be chiefly drawn.
"Ou every side 10 which the Indiana Re-
publicans turn they are met with evidences
OF the unpopularity OF their candidate"

that he was perfectly conscious, be pre-
tended when INTERCEPTED to be Ignorant Of
ANYTHING connected with the burglary, aud
even asserted that he was not shot at ALL.

closed In a District Messenger Company's
envelope, unaddre.sed, but partly covered
with figures: "Mr. Blake, Pts give me

HE SHOT THE BURGLAR.
Groccr Hubeucr Awakened I'm the
Early Morning by Thief.
New York Herald.l


Shortly before O'Clock yesterday morn
ing when the jewellers on Ninth avenue
were wrapped in slumber and the footsteps
OF belated wayfarers resouuded through the
street, three men Healthily approached a
small grocery store occupied by Henry Hube-
ner AT 500 Ninth avenue. No one else was
near. and the policeman who IL posted in the
vicinity was out Of sight aud hearing.
There Is quite deep recess ut Tue entrance
10 the store, and taking advantage OF the
lonely street the men slipped into the shadow
Of the doorway and proceeded to business.
One OF them, slmly-built and active Young
fellow of twenty five, was hoisted upon the
shoulders OF his companions, and was thus
enabled to reach the fanlight over the door.
IL was unfastened. aud IN twinkling the
man slipped through II and disappeared. As
he dropped ytealthily TO the floor his foot
caught in the fastening ~ the door-blind, and
the spring being released the blind dew up
with loud whirr The catch at the top
clicked sharply. and the occupant OF the
premises. who was asleep in room at the
rear Of the store. was awakened by the sound.
Swinging out OF bed he grasped revolver
and opened the door communicating with
the store. All was dark inside: but be saw
the light from the street shining in through
the glass Of the door.

The girls had gazed on the fight spell

The case was adjourned until Octo-
Der 9th, by request of the railroad peo-
pleas they found that the farmers had
worked up a stronger case than they
expected.
In private, the members Of the Com
mission said that the farmers and
fruit growers had presented their
grievances better; answered all ques-
tions more satisfactory, and in every
way showed themselves Of more abil-
ity than any other eomplainants whom
the Interstate Commission have had
before them.
In the course of the trial, a member
of the Commission asked how fast the
peach trains" were run?--as com
plant was made that the rapid run
ming caused the expense in wear and
tear. The reply was. "twenty-eight
miles per hour This would place

An End to Peaches.

The peach season was practically ended
the latter part of last week; the total ship
ments for the season were 5,95I carloads, the
shipments extending over a period of seven
ty-three days, from July 10 to September q,
when the first aud last shipments were re-
spectively made over the Delaware railroad.
Between these dates the shipments grew
daily larger, until September I when they
reached the enormous figure of 400 carloads
shipped to over sixty. widely different points.
These 5.o5I cars, each containing an aver
age Of 600 baskets, represent total OF
100000 baskets shipped northward over
the Delaware road, and allowiugan estimate
of 10000 baskets shipped by boat to Balti-
more and other Southern points, and 200. 600
Consumed by the Peninsula evaporators, it
brings the total crop to about 100000 bas-
lSets for the season.
Careful estimates approximate the net
profit to the growers this year at As cents a
basket, and it will, therefore, be seen that
the great sum of s2,7ooooo has foHnd its
way to the famers pockets in peaches alone
In handling this immense crop, which very
nearly approaches the yield of 1875, the Blu
reau of Distribution and the Fruit Exchange
haye been of inestimable advantage, pre-
venting all gluts and keeping up a uniformly
fair price.
