WAsnINoroN, March 20. The counsel
for the manufacturers OF refined lard
opened their case before the House COM
mittee on agriculture this morning. James
Matthews was called and testified that he
had worked for six or seven years for
Squire x Co. He said that Squire * Co.

lard. The leaf lard was made from the
leaf only. The pure lard was made from
hogs heads, hogs feet rough lard and
white grease. There was a little hair
around the ears and nostrils Of the heads.
The hoofs were not taken from the feet.
The white grease was made out Of quits and
paunches. II was refined with soda and
put on top OF the lard. Seven or eight
tierces Of pigs feet grease were purchased
by Squire 4 Co every month and mixed In
with pure lard.
On cross-examination witness stated that
he had left the employ Of Squire K Co. on
Saturday last, having been offered better
position with Fairbanks 4 Go. lie had
been promised this by Henry Ecksteine,
one OF Fairbanks employees, who said that
II he would come here and testify he would
get good position In Chicago. His ex-
pcnses were paid whlle. herc. All the
white grease made BY SqutS h Co. was
he said, used in making lard, and none
was shipped away.

THIS is PECULIAR,
But Probably Annie Could Ex-
plain if She Would.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 14.-Three weeks
ago Annie Herbert, one of the demi-
monde, turned over letter to the chief
of police. which solicited her assistance
to disfgure with vitriol William A.
Taafe, prominent lawyer of this city.
Fifty dollars wasH promised her for the
job. The letter was signed "H. D."
and requested an answer through the
personal column of the American. BY
direction of the chief Annie Herbert
replied to the letter in the manner
requested, and correspondence
between the woman and FL. d."
has been kept up since. Friday Annie
received by mail package containing
a bottle of yitriol and sponge with di-
rections as to its use and with a request
that its receipt be acknowledged through
the American. A detective was placed
in the newspaper office yesterday and
a boy who asked for letter addressed
to 'H. D." was Swallowed to the office
of Hamilton Delahays, an accountant, on
German street. The detective arrested
Delahays and took him to the police
headquarters. The prisoner manifested
considerable surprise at his arrest and
said he could not understand it. He
did not know MI. Taafe, had never
seen nor heard of him. He expected
the letter addressed to ''H. d." in reply
to a matter of entirely different char
acter. Mr.. Taafe was sent for and told
the chief of police that he had never
seen the prisoner before nor had he
ever heard of him. The chief of police,
however. thought it we'll to hold Mr..
Delahays for hearing tomorrow,

three: First, lying; second, violation
of promise; third, contumacy. The
first two were not sustained. The third
charge was sustained upon every speci-
fieation and as whole by vote of Is
ayes and 9 nays. The specifications
under charge were the basis of the
Wahpeton trial, where he was convict
ed. The other charges grew out of his
actions subsequent to that trial. Neither
side is entirely satisfied with the re-
suit, which is much less than vindica-
tion and yet not conviction. The
sentence of the conference was that
Taylor be brought before the bar of the
conference and there publicly repri-
manded by the bishop. Services were
held in the rink to-day. Bishop Hurst
preached in the morning and Rev. j. l..

Although it was generally understood
that the judge would leave for his brief
Indiana tour to-day the time of depart
ure was kept secret in order to avoid
any possible demonstration. This OBJ
iect was accomplished so far as Colum-
tus was concerned, but the fact that he
was en- route was evidently wired
along the line, for at nearly every sta
ton there were groups or crowds OF
people waiting to give the old Roman
cheer as the train went. At Washing
ton court house, where brief stop was
made, about 500 people had assembled,
ana the cheers were interSpersed with
loud calls for a speech. At first the
judge was unwilling to show himself,
but the clamor was so persistent that
finally he appeared upon the rear plat
form and said: ''Gentlemen: If L
were a preacher l would preach
you a sermon. AS / am not one, how
ever. cannot talk to you on Sunday"
At Madisonville there was another large
crowd, but it had to content itself with
glimpse of the judge through the car
windows. Cincinnati was reached at 9
o'clock. About 500 people had gathered
in the depot and 1000 more outside.
The judge was met by a committee
representing the various clubs. under
whose escort he was taken to the Grand
hotel, the crowd following cheering
heartily. Tomorrow morning, escorted
by a number of Democratic clubs OF
this city and Columbus, Judge Thur
man leaves for Shelbyville, Ind, to
participate in the Democratic barbecue
and rally at that place.

THE DOCTORS RESIGNED
Because of an Anonymous Article
in an Evening Paper.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 14.-To-
day has been very pleasant, and the re-
duced number of cases and deaths
causes a cheerful feeling to prevail.
There is much gossip over the resigna-
ton last night of all the visiting physi-
clans, owing to an anonymous article
in an evening paper declaring that
they were drawing $500 a month each,
while home doctors got no extra pay
and suffered loss of income through the
absence of their more well-to-do clients.
The article does not voice the sentiment
of the public, who appreciate the servi-
ces of the visiting doctors, and it is
hoped that the designations will be
withdrawn.
Tonight they have all agreed to at
tend the patients as usual, the board of
health meanwhile TO investigate and re-
port upon the causes which led to the
publication of the article referred to-.
The whole thing is likely to end in
smoke in few days. New cases, IS;
deaths, 2; total cases to date, 5, IA; total

THE REDS DIVIDED.
Little Prospect of an Agreement
Among the Sioux.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-The Sioux
Indians who have come to Washington
to see Secretary Villas in regard to the
proposed sale of part of their reserva-
tiOn have been holding pow-wows all
day, endeavoring to agree upon a pro-
gramme to be followed at to-morrow's
conference. From all that can be
learned, it seems improbable that any
agreement will be reached as result
of the Indians visit here. 1t is said they
are almost hOpelessly split up among
themselves. and that there is little
prospect of their being able to unite on
any proposition. They have, it is said,
divided into two chief parties. One
party, comprising Indians from the
Pine Ridge and Rose Bud agencies, led
by American Horse and Swift Bear. are
opposed to anything being done at this
time. They say that the commission
bill has only been read to them once:
that they do not understand its pro-
visions, and that they do not wish to
sell their lands at this time. The other
party, in which Sitting Bull and John
Grass are leaders, are willing to sell
their lands, but want a much better
price than so cents an acre. Nearly all
the Indians are suffering from the effects
of their long and unusual journey, and
many of them have bad colds.

A MATERIAL SHORTAGE.
Nearly Forty Million Bushels Less
Wheat Than in 1887.
DR0UTH, RUST AND BUGS
The Principal Causes Which Brought
the Yield to Such a Low
Point.

CHICAGO. Oct. 14.-The following
crop summary will appear in this weeks
edition of the Farmers Review: "The
shortage in the wheat crop of 1883 is
due not only to decreased acreage, but
also to damage of various causes. In
Ohio from winter killing and rust; in
Indiana from winter killing, frost,
chinch bugs, and slightly from rust: in
Illinois principally from winter killing,
frost and chinch bugs. although some
counties report loss from drOuth and rust;
Ill Iowa from chinch bugs two counties
reporting total loss from this cause)
also considerable damage from rust; in
Michigan considerable portion of win
ter wheat was killed. but notwithstand-
Ing this the crop will be about equal to
that of last year; the Wisconsin crop
suffered considerably from chinch bugs,
and some from rust and hot weather;
in Missouri chinch bugs and wet weather
at the time and after harvesting caused
considerable loss; in Minnesota the
chief loss was from chinch bugs, two
counties reporting total loss, and
in some counties much injury
was caused by hot winds in July; in
Dakota the greatest loss was caused by
these hot winds, although early frosts
cut Off a portion of the crop; in Kansas
little damage was sustained from any
cause, and the crop is therefore very
much larger than that of last year. Ne
braSka, Kentucky and Iowa also show
an increase. The following estimates
of the crop in the principal wheat
growing states are based on the acreage
planted in those states as estimated by
the department of agriculture, and the
average yield as reported by the Farm
ers' Review correspondents:
The total for the following: eleven
states, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Dakota is 2S2, $40, ,252 bushels. Allowing
for the decrease in the area planted in
the Southern and Eastern states report
ed by the department of agriculture,
and for an increase in acreage in the
suming that the yield per acre will be
equal to that of last year, we estimate
the crop in the said states and terrific
ries to be 1876, l5S, ,020 bushels, which,
added to the total in the above eleven
states and Dakota, would make a total
of AIS, S,99S,372 bushels, against 456, $780,
600 bushels, the total wheat crop of
1887 as reported by the department of
agriculture.

KILLED AND EATEN.
Ike Fate of Three Germans Who
Deserted the MOewe.

ZANZIBAR, Oct. 14.-Negotiations are
under way to settle the outbreak of the
natives. The Germans are returning
to Bagomoyo. 1t is not true that the
rising originated in religious fanaticism.
The trouble was caused by the German
officials treating the natives and the
sultan's officials with contempt. AT
public meeting of British Indian trad
ers it was resolved to petition the queen,
through the Prince of Wales and Lord
Salisbury, to request the German gov
ernment to take necessary measures to
restore confidence in Zanzibar, and
thus avoid commercial ruin to the trad
ing community, which numbers 10000
persons. Three sailors who deserted
from the German gunboat Moewe, TAX
ing with them aquantity of ammunition,
and who roamed about the country kill
ing natives, have themselves been killed
and eaten by the natives.
