STATISTICS ABOUT THE DROUGHT.
Returns on the Extent of Damage to Some
of the Crops in Indiana.

The State Statistician has prepared some in
teresting figures, showing the damage to crops
in the State by the drought of last summer
Early in September the bureau sent out blanks
to the various township trustees ia the State,
making inquiries as to the extent to which corn,
Irish potatoes, clover and timothy had suffered.
Out of l,011 trustees, GIG made returns, and as
the number represents all sections of the State.
the data obtained may be considered as COW
ering the entire ST ate.
The damage to the corn crop ranged from 30
to 20 per cent, with average for the entire
State of so per cent. The four counties show
ing the highest per cent. of damage, together
with their product and average yield per acre,
for the years 1886 and 1887, given as exam

found only two schools where any pupil ever re-

only six scholars reported and three of these

their beverage at home. The school committee. In
formal vote. after due investigation declared Mr..
Bayleys statement unwarranted and misleading.
The fact is, prohibition is success here, and has
resulted in driving sale of liquor INTO dark holes
and reducing its use to minimum. Less than forty
saloons exist In this city where the sale of liquor IS
suspected of being carried under the utmost pri
yacy and difficulty This is pretty close restriction

Mr. Bayiey except to that in aiming after the pro-
motion of political third party he has seriously ham

their homes as now exists in Portland.

FROM FIVE TO THREE.
The Commissioners Reduce the Number of
Justices To Be Elected in Center Township.

After much consultation the County Commits
sioners. yesterday morning. decided that Center
township and indianapolis shall elect but three
Justices Of the peace at the coming election. In
the order passed it is stated that one of the
justices elected shall be for the township and
two for the city The reasons ASSIGNED by the
Commissioners for again reducing the number
that there is necessity for more than
three Justices here in the city, and that il two
more were elected-one each for West Indian
apolis and Brightwood-they would open Offices
in the city, as there is law to prevent
them. Notwithstanding the excuses for the re-
duction. it is generally believed it done
for political purpose. The Republicans are
almost certain to elect all the justices. and had
the number been left at Eve there would be no
opportunity for the appointment of Democrats.
Since the reduction has been made. the Com
nnissioners may, if they fit. appoint two
Democrats, after the election is held. and it is
generally believed that is what they will do,
provided the Democrats fail to elect any one.
Attorneys say that there is no necessity for
more than three justices, and they hope the or
der reducing the number will be observed.

Episcopalians for Colored People.

A large number of persons assembled yester-
day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock near tho corner Of
Minerva and North streets, to assist in the lay

hacker was attended by Rev. e. G. Hunter, of
Holy Innocents, and Rev. w. D. Engle, Of All
Saints, Brightwood The choir of Christ Church
was present and sang several hymns. The
service for the laying of a cornerstone was read
by the Bishop, the people responding heartily.
A tin box containing the history of the mission,
a Bible, prayer book, city papers and map Of
the city, were placed in a cavity
of the stone, when the bishop, placing it in POI
sition and striking il three times, said, "In the
name of the Father. and the Son, and the Holy
Ghost, amen, l lay the cornerstone of an edi-
hce to be here erected by the name OF ST.
Philips Church. and to be devoted to the service
of Almighty God" Brief addresses then
made by Mr.. Hunter, Mr.. Engle and the bishop.
ST. Philips Mission has been in existence

and it is doing most excellent work. Mr.. Lewis
Rowland is lay reader in charge. and Mrs Regi-
maid Hall is superintendent, assisted by q num-
Der of ladies and gentlemen. 1t is expected
the church building which, with the lot, will
cost $4,000 will be completed in about two
months-for dedication, about Easter time.

MADE INSANE BY FRIGHT.
The Fire in SulIivans Store Causes One of
the Clerks to Lose His Mind.

j. Ready, one of the clerks who sleeping
in d. J. Sullivan's dry goods store when it
caught fire Monday night, was found at the COR
ner of Meridian and Maryland streets by patrol
men Clarey and Wilson last night mentally de-
ranged. He was sent to the station house, and
was violent that it required four officers to
manage him. He imagined that he was about
to be burned to death in building. and con-
tinually called, "Fire' and '.Save me- As soon
as Mr.. Sullivan heard of his condition
he sent hack to the station-house and had Mr..
Ready removed to his own home for treatment.
When the fire broke out in the store Monday
ing the second floor and when they awoke
they were almost overcome with smoke It was
noticed then that tho sudden fright had
recov er his normal condition yesterday. It is
bought that his arrangement will only be tenn
porary.

potato crop in Indiana is about ninety bushels
per acre, and as the reports show an average of
but BOB bushels. the estimated damage of 66 per

to the corn crop, the effects of the drought on
potatoes were very uneven with respect to coun-
ties, reaching 80 per cent in some and in one
falling as low 40 per cent. The total product
for 1887 was g ZIG. 40 bushels, the lowest re-

The damage to the hay crop was not as marked
as might have been expected, considering the
almost unprecedented drought of the season,
and the total product Of the State shows a very
slight decrease when compared with that of the
preceding year. None of the counties report an
average damage of more than 40 per cent. and

Eat end Lean Merit.

Philadelphia Record.
IL has been demonstrated that the farmer can
produce animals for market nreponderating in
lean or fat preferred, and the demand is in
creasing for carcass4s that excel in lean. 1t has
also been accepted that the best carcasses should
contain fair proportion of fat The whole
matter depends on the cost OF production, and IN
considering the cost not only the food allowed to
the animals but the ultimate effects the soil
enter into the question of profit loss. The
main point after all, is the amount OF fertility
removed from the soil, for when the soil shall
begin deteriorate in fertility the wealth of the
farm will be passing away Choice lean meat
sells at higher price In market because it is of
better quality for the table; but whether the diff
ference in price between fat and lean meat wilt
compensate for the difference in the elements
required for their production depends on the
mode of producing the meat and the manner or
procuring the food. 1t Is possible buy the
greater portion of the food and convert it into
beef or pork securing the manure and thereby
realize fair profit; but the same may be done
in producing animals that preponderate in fat
So far as procuring the materials from the soil
is concern ed. it may be stated that fat really
costs nothing, though there is an expense in
Cured in securing it through the labor
ployed. Fat is derived from the food produced
by plants, aud plants during growth derive their
fat (carbonl from the carbonc acid gas of the
atmosphere through the agency of the leaves.

by selling butter therefrom. but it can be re-

the elements be supplied IN some other form. 1t
may be profitable, however. to sell lean meat in

the whole carcass the additional price added by

quality at the least cost.
