 A special train of five coaches left here for Atlanta. Owing to the short notice given and q misunderstanding as to free trans portation, only thirty seven people went on this train. It was generally supposed that the train was to be furnished by the govern mont and that refugees would be carried free; but full fare was charged, and many were on that account unable to go.
 The two deaths reported were C. H. Smith and c. H. Herrick.

 WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The weather crop bulletin for the week ending Sept. states that the weather during the week has been unusually favorable for ripening harvesting and thrashiug of wheat in Minnesota and Dakota It has also been favorable in the greater portion of the corn belt, but too much rain occurred in the extreme southern portions of the states bordering on the Ohio. Reports from Kansas indicate that the corn crop is secure and past possible in jury from frost
 The weather has been too cold ill Michigan to favor a rapid growth of corn, but no in- pry is reported to the crop in that state, and the cutting will commence next week.
 Reports from Kentucky show that the heavy corn crop i'll that state has been some what damaged by recent rains, and that the season has been sufficiently favorable to in sure an average tobacco crop
 The heavy rains have damaged the grow. ing crops in the cotton and sugar regions, except in North and South Carolina, where the rainfall has not been excessive and the weather has been generally favorable. In the middle states favorable conditions have prevailed, both for the ripening of corn and for fall blowing. In New England the rain fall was generally favorable, but the weather

and Bowed Head Talk.
 CROW CREEK AGENCY, Sept. 3,-The council with the Indians Saturday was an exciting one, and finally resulted in securing nearly 100 signatures The council was called at a late hour, and Chief White Ghost was the first speaker. He lodged the real question, and devoted some time to old ques- ions and old complaints He was followed by several other chiefs, who spoke in the same strain. Chief Bowed Head, however, delivered an eloquent appeal to the Indians to sign.
 A young Indian named Williams then made the most telling and effective speech that has yet been delivered by the Indians Calling on the Indians, if they loved their children, and wished them to become edu- cated and made happy and prosperous, to come forward, he walked bravely up to the table and, regardless of threats, placed his name upon the bill. The ice once broken, about sixty more followed, and thirty more signed atterward at the rooms of the com mlssloners. The commissioners are gratitied with the days work, and confident that nearly every Indian in the reserve will come up and sign during the coming week

To Boycott the Tagging Trust.

ATLANTA, Sept. 3.-The most important move taken against the bagging trust was that inaugura;ed ill Hancock county by the Farmers club of that county. It derives its importance from the fact that the leading spirit of the club is w. J. Northen, presiden of the Georgia State Agricultural society and that the request is made that all similar societies i'll the state follow suit. Hancock is the richest cotton county in the state, and there Is little doubt that tue action of her farmers, with the quasi official characte which the membership of Mir. Northen gives it, will result in an organized boycott of the bagging trust

 PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 8. 3.-Notwithstanding Philadelphia is called slow, the fact that nearly $500, 900 has been spent on places of amusement in this city during the past sum- mer proves that there is considerable life and enterprise here. Two new theatres have been built, two others almost entirely re- built, and large sums expended for painting and decorating the old houses. Grand opera, which proved failure in most of the other cities, has been produced all summer in a first class manner at the new opera house, and money made from the start
 The season has begun with a boom, nearly all of the houses being now open and doing a good business
 The Walnut opened Saturday night. The Chestnut Street opera house, which has been made especially beautiful by the lavish out lay of money, opens tonight.
 Arrangements have been made for grand production of "The Midsummer Nights Dream' at this house, upon which $2O, COG will be expended
 It is stated upon good authority that every theatrical manager in the city is coining money.

WATERLOO, la, Sept. 3.-Justice Shields directed the return of $1, 300 worth of liq- uors seized from Pfeffer's drug store at Ce- -dar Falls The sheriff gave up the liquor, which was immediately shipped back to the parties from whom it was originally pur- chased There was no question as to the proof of the sale of liquors by the druggists without conforming to the formalities of the law, and it is understood that the justice based his decision upon the ruling of the SUI preme court allowing the transportation of
 liquors into Iowa, which, he holds, carries with it the right to sell. If this decision should be upheld, it will tend to destroy the effect of all state prohibitory laws.

 WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept 3-Three men were burned to death ill q hotel fire iu this city yesterday. A policeman noticed story of the American house. The Officer burst i'll the t2or and alarmed the boarders, some of whom escaped by the stairs and some jumped from the second story windows. No ladders could be procured which would reach to the third story windows, and blank, ats were held by those on the street, int which the inmates of the place jumped, gen orally escaping with slight injuries.
 The three men who were burned to death were awaiting chance to jump when they were seen to fall back into the burning building. When the flames were extin- guished search was made for the bodies, which were found in the ruins. All were fearfully burned, and only one has been identified. This one was recognized by his clothing as Patrick Claire, a French Can adian, ,iwho came to this city few days ago. Inc others have not been identified, and it is doubtful if they ever will be, as most of the occupants of the building were numbering men or miners who were merely ill the city for the day. The fire originated III a room occupied by three men who had been drunk and when they went to bed left kerosene lamp burning. It is supposed that in some manner this became overturned and ex- ploded These thrcc men escaped after be ing severely burned

Too Many of Them.

We have rather too many dismal humor- ists in literature just now. The success of q few genuine humorists has tempted whole hocks of dullards into the field of fun, and they are fast converting it into literary cemetery, people with the ghosts of depart cd pleasantres. If funny lecturers and funny sketch-writers would only give us the dead jokes of long ago in their habits as they lived, the resurrection would be more tolerable; but they dress them up to suit their own conceit, and in so doing take all the laugh out of them.
