a Rishon in Trouble.

Baltimore dispatch: When Bishop
Randolph first assumed charge of the
Virginia episcopacy lie was, perhaps,
the most popular of all the Protestant
Episcopal heads in this country. OF
late, however, his people do not speak
of him as affectionately as heretofore;
indeed, they condemn what they term
his snobbishness. The change of feel
ing came about in this way:
A short time ago Amelie Rives- Chan
Ter made known her desire to be be con-
frmed. All the members of her family
have always been deyout members OF
the Episcopal church, and assisted ma
terially in the building of the pretty
church near Castle Hill, Albemarle
county, the seat of the Rives family. IT
was naturally supposed that the author
ess would avail herself of the opportu-
nifty when Bishop Randolph in his VS.
itations should reach the district. In
stead of this, however, she sent a re-
quest to the bishop that the services be
performed at her residence. The rites
had never been conferred in this man
ner before, and the good bishop hest
tated. Finally, however, he consented,
and one fine day proceeded to Castle
Hill and performed the rite of confir-
nation. When this became known to
the members throughout the diocese it
created much talk and adverse criticism,
and the bishop is roundly censured for
yielding to the within of the fair author
ess. This exclusive confirmation is said
to be the first in the history of the
Protestant Episcopal church.

crop says: The bulk of the crop is Sc
cure from injury from hard frosts, and
little damage has resulted from this
canse, outside of unimportant districts,
mainly in the New England states and
in Michigan, where the injury has been
more severe than in other western To-
calities. The drouth has also been o
drawback in Michigan. The result is
simply an increase of $50, 900, 900 bush
els in the seven surplus states, gain of
So per cent. The indicated gain over
last year IN the six other western states
is 81, 600, 900 bushels, gain of Is per
cent. The twelve southern states (Ten-
nessee and Kentucky being otherwise
classed) indicate a total production
somewhat greater than last year, which
exceeded any previous year. The seven
surplus states show the following gains
over last year: Ohio Al, 900, 900 bushels

CLAIMS A CELL LOCK.
The Widow of a Genius Asserts
Her Rights.

The case of Sarah May against the
commissioners of Dakota, Washington
and Wabasha counties was begun before
Judge Nelson yesterday for an alleged
infringement upon Jail cell door locks,
which plaintiffs husband invented be-
fore his decease, and which the county
prisons above named have been using
prior to and since 1880. The plaintiff,
an exceedingly pretty woman, is the
widow of Edwin May, who was the
architect of the state capitol at Indian
apolis Ind. In 1873 the deceased in
vented a patent cage and lock for prison
purposes. After the first few sales of
the appliance great number of the
prisons throughout the country adopted
the improvement without paying any
attention to the rights of the inventor.
When Mr.. May died his wife, shrewd
woman with commercial ability, under
took to reap the benefits of her huS
bands genius. She travelled all over
the country, visiting the jails and priS-
ons III her path, and wherever she
found her patent employed demanded
settlement, the price being $50 for every
door. Several boards of commissioners
compromised with her: others, how
ever refused to pay, and were summar-
ily dealt with in being sued. and i'll most
cases were defeated. She has now the
present defendants TO bring to terms.
and to-day the jury will render YER
diet. She asks $50 per door, and the
amount involved in the three counties is
about 81. 500.
