A Poorly Fed Army.

It appears thatthe British army is not

concerned The bread ration is the
lowest in Europe, being one pound per
day. The allowance Of meat is three
quartz of pound, including bone,
whereas Continental soldiers are given
full pound of solid meat The bread

the soldiers rations are too monoto-

matter has been brought to the atten-
ton of Parliament and steps are being
taken to remedy the deficiencies.

PLENTY TO EAT.
Some Figul es on the Crops of Corn and
Potatoes.

Some Figu1 es on the Crops of Corn and
Potatoes.
The returns of yield of corn, made to
the department of agriculture, indicate
a yield per acre quite as large as that of
1885, and larger than any other crop
grown on larger area, will exceed
that of any previous American product,
being very close to 2,000, 900, 900, 900
bushels, or about 80 bushels per capita.
The corn surplus states average yield as
follows: Ohio, 1872 bushels; Indiana,
So; Illinois, 36.2; Iowa, 81; Missouri,
81; Kansas, 81; Nebraska, SO. These
seven states produce "a per cent. Of the
crop aggregate. There is good supply
of maize in nearly all parts of the
South, so that comparatively little will
be required from the West.
After three years of low yields, pota-
toes give an average of about so BUSH
els per acre, or nearly the rate of yield
of 1879. The averages of prominent
potato-growing states are as follows:
Maine, 10 bushels; New York, 80;
Pennsylvania. 80; Ohio, so; Michigan,
IS; Indiana, rs; Illinois, so; Iowa, 60;
Minnesota, 90; Dakota, so; Nebraska,
so. the yield has been increased in the
South. 1t is high in the Northern belt
territories. Inc tOCaI pfOuuCC on the
basis OF these averages is about 1876, 0O0.-
600 bushels. or 81 100000 more than the
estimated product of 1887.
The average yield of buckwheat is APP
proximately II bushels per acre, and
the crop nearly IL 900, 900 bushels. The
average for New York is IL bushels
Pennsylvania, Il; Michigan, 1876; Indi-
ana, ia; Illinois, 1875; Wisconsin, 9.5;
Minnesota, IL; Iowa, 10.S; Missouri,
10.7; Kansas, 9.5; Nebraska, 11.3.
Hay is a crop slightly above the av-
erage in yield, or 1.22 tons per acre. It
has been nowhere seriously injured by
drought. There is strong tendency to
increase of area in the South and the
yields upon cultivated areas rather than
natural meadows. are relatively large.

A Surprised EnglIshman.
From Texas Siftings.

FROM IeAaS S11C1nSS.
A few months ago an Englishman am
bled into a jewelers. store In Lampasas,
Texas, when the following conversation
ensued: Ave you got h'any good,
hold Henglish time-pieces in the nature
Of clocks?' asked the Englishman
eve have nothing but American-made
clocks" replied the jeweler. ''They
are by far the best, and of superior
workmanship" "Ho, no, you are mis-
taken. If [ cawn't get me a Henglish
clock [ must send hover to Hen LAND
and ave me own family piece sent ho-
yer by steamer, yon know" The Jew
eler said very well, and the English
man went home and wrote for this mar
Vicious family time-piece. In due course
of time it arrived, and as the English
man was conveying it up from the ex-
press office he dropped into the jewell
er's to exhibit it. Jaw now," he said
with his face wreathed in smiles. ''look
hat this for minute. 'Ere's a time
piece which has been in our family
many year, and has always kept per-
feet time. Look hand see hif you don't
consider hit superior to American
clocks" The jeweler examined the
exterior of the clock, and then opened
it. Brushing the dust from a dimly
printed label in the back, he revealed
to the astonished Briton the following
label: "Seth Thomas, Bridgeport,
Conn.,, q. S. A.-lS59."

A dispatch of the 9th from Rochester,
N. Y, says: The most disastrous fire
ever experienced in this city occurred
this evening at the works of the Steam
Gauge & Lantern Company. Lit was
located IN a building OF seven stories
with two easements. It was situated
near the Genesee Falls. The fire broke
out at 7:30 O'clock. About forty
people were at work, mostly on
the third floor. The smoke was very
dense and the men could not
reach the fire escapes and they were
forced to Jump from the third story.
Fourteen Jumped on the west side of
the building and were frightfully in
'iured, six of them dying within an
hour. Four others will die before morn
ing. The names of the dead are: Joseph
Darner, Joseph Weber, John Ga1,
John Gremour, Harry Schneider. The
fatally injured are: Richard Pash,
Daniel Wilkins, Frank Siddons, John
Germ.
/ 1t is thought that FIVE OF more bodies
are in the ruins, including one or more
insured for $4,000. The loss on the
lantern plant is $175, 900, with insurance
on plant of $4,000. The Steam Gauge
& Lantern Company was organized in
1881 or 1882 with capital OF $3.50, 900.
The majority of the stock is owned by
Boston capitalists, but there are several
stockholders in this city and Syracuse.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. IA gang
of forty men was set to work this morn
ing excavating in the debris of the
steam guage and lantern works fire on
Friday night. Two more charred bodies
were taken from the ruins, making
eleven so far known to have been
killed. The killed are John GALL John
Dauser G. "A. Oaks, John NJ. Martin,

OCEAN STEAMER SUNK.
The Cunarder Umbria Makes Hole in
the iberia.


the Iberia.
The Cunard steamship Umbria col
lided with the Fabre steamer iberia
about four miles off Long Beach Hotel,
just bevound Rockaway, on the after
noon of the 10th. The iberia was bad
ly damaged, having her whole stern cut
off, and the Umbria, after taking off the
crew of the Iberia of thirty men
and lying by the injured snip ali
night, came up to the dock for repairs.
When she left the Iberia she was sink
ing and it looked as though she would
go to the bottom before noon. The Um-
bria was but slightly injured and came
back to her dock merely as a precau-
tionary measure, according to the agent
of the line, Vernon III. Brown. All
the mark she bore of the ugly
wound she gave the Iberia was a
queer triengular ragged-edged hole in
her collision bulkhead, in it's largest di-
mansions about six feet by three feet.
The hole is just abaft the extreme bow
and at its lowest point about five feet
above the water line. This is on the
starboard side. A small hole, through
which swallow might fly, was also
punched in the plate on the port side
directly opposite. The hole appeared
to have been made by the revolving
screw of the Iberia.

POCKETED THE DIFFERENCE.
A Silver Extractor Takes Too Much Toll
and is Arrested.

At Bridgeport Conn, on the 18th,
Miles A. French and his wife Nellie
were arrested by Pinkerton detectives
as they we're about taking the train for
Boston. French has been employed
the past three years by the Bridgeport
Copper Company, his business being to
extract silver from copper ore. For
some time past he ha been carrying on
a system of stealing the silver
thus obtained. The company had
no means of knowing the exact
amount of silver taken from each
ton of ore, which French we'll knew,
and they trusted to his honesty. When
ton of ore would exceed the average
he would appropriate the excess to his
own use. He soon began to spend
money freely and lived tar beyond his
means. which caused the firm to investi
gate matters. This resulted in his ar
rest. He or his wife or both made fire.

York, where they met agents and dis
posed of their plumber. When arrested
last night they had about 81, 200 worth
of silver. 1t is thought that French has
stolen from $1,000 to $15,0 900 in this
manner.

Telling the Time.
From Harper's Magazine.

On the occasion of wedding in Vir-
ginia, not long ago, the hospitality of
the family mansion was taxed to it's
utmost, and one of the guests had to be
accommodated with a hastily erected
bed in his hosts room. Early in the
morning, Jim, an irrepressible retainer
of the family, came in to light the fire,
and his master asked him the time.
He didn't know.
"Well, you idiot, can't you look at the
clock ?'
Jim studied it anxiously for a few
minutes, and then ventured: Il can't

Sniff; but one hands p intin' t"des you,

THE HARPER CASE AGAIN.

The American Exchange National of Chi
cago Gets Back Its Money.
A dispatch of the 10th from Cincin-
natl, O., says: When the notorious
deity National, was in the throes of
with $60O.ut0 in drafts to be cashedIat
the American Exchange National
Bank of Chicago. That bank
cashed 100000 Of them, but
when presented to the banks
upon which they were drawn payment
was refused. The American Exchange
National Bank of Chicago, presented its
claim to Receiver Armstrong, but he
refused to pay it on the ground that
Harper had no funds to warrant the
drafts he had made. Suit was then
brought by the American Exchange
Bank, and when Receiver Armstrong, in
October, 1887, declared dividend of 25
per cent. he set aside the money to pay
this claim. but of course refused to pay
it until the question was decided in
court The case has now been on
hearing for three days before judges
Jackson and Sage Of the United
States court, and this afternoon at the
close of the arguments they decided in
favor of the claimant The point of their
decision was that the American Ex-
change National Bank did not in this
case exceed the scope of its powers and
became an innocent purchaser of paper
that was intrinsically worthless. The
immediate result OF this decision is that
the receiver of the Fidelity Bank must
pay to the American Exchange National
Bank, of Chicago, 100000 with interest
from October, 1887; and the future re-
suit is that so far as the assets of the FL
deity Bank and the liability of its
stockholders will suffice the entire
claim will be paid in full.

Capt. slocum's Daring Voyage.
From the New York World.

From the New York World
Capt. Andrews, who recently attempt
ed to cross the Atlantic in the dory
Dark Secret. has formidable rival in
Capt. Slocum, late of Baltimore, once
commander of the famous ship North
ern Lights, of San Francisco, who, with
his wife and two young sons, is on his
way to this port from Barbados in
canoe named the Liberdade, thirty
five feet long and three feet deep.
The thrilling experiences which Capt.
Slocum has undergone since he sailed
from Baltimore a little less than two
years ago in command of the bark
Aquidneck for the River Platte, in
South America, were told to World
reporter yesterday by Capt. Baker, of
the steamship Finance, which arrived
from Rio Janeiro and Barbados.
CATER remaining on the Platte for
some time," said Capt. Baker, she
sailed for Rio Janiero with a mixed car
60. On arriving there he could not en-
ter. because cholera was epidemic. Re-
turning to the Platte he discharged the
cargo, shipped new crew, and began
an eventful voyage for Rio Grande de
Sui. During this trip all but one Or two
of his sailors were seized with small
pox. When he arrived the quarantine
authorities would not allow him to en-
ter the harbor, and refused to render
him any assistance. 1t was while quar-
antined here that Capt. Slocum's vessel
was driven ashore during storm and
became total loss.
"Capt. Slocum. being in a strange
land and in sore distress, was compelled
to build his canoe out of the wreck of
his vessel. When it was completed he
and his wife and two children sailed in
in it for Santos, where [ encountered
him about three months ago. / towed
the captain to Rio Janiero. He
wouldn't get out of his canoe, but his
wife and children came on my steamer.
He sailed from Rio before [ did, but [
met him about 1000 miles out from Rio.
The plucky mariner refused to take
passage on my vessel, and his fearless
wife would not desert her husband.
Capt. Slocum is now at Barbados,
where | again met him on my last trip
here. He made the trip from Pernam-
buco to Barbados, distance Of $500
miles, in nineteen days.
II again offered him passage here,
but he preferred to complete his voyage
in his canoe. He sprung the mainmast
while sailing to Barbados, but after he
completes repairs he will sail for ST.
Thomas, and then for New York or Bal
timore.
"The canoe has three masts and is la
teen rugged. It has no bulwarks, and has
but one cabin, in which the brave party
live. Mrs. Slocum is an experienced
sailor, and while her husband is off
duty she takes her turn in steering.
