The Cnngresationalists.

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. 11.-At to-day's
session OF the congregational council the
special committee on the Georgia question
submitted report recommending the enroll
ment of Rev. S. c. McDanlels and S. e. Bas-
sett, representing the Atlanta and Flint
river district conferences, and that A. F..
Sheriff., of Atlanta, be given a seat as an
honorary member. The discussion on the
admission of the Georgia delegation was
then resumed. Mr. Maxwell, colored deie-
gate from Georgia, made long speech
against the admission of the Georgia white
delegation and said the white Congrega-
tionallsts there would not fraternize with
their colorcd brethren. If admitted, it would
drive the colored men into the Catholic or
some other church.
DIR. Quint, of Boston, opposed admitting all
the Georgia white delegates except one state
delegate. The discussion called out many
prominent members.
The committees resolutions were finally
adopted. At the afternoon meeting it was
decided to hold the next session at Mime

How South Dakota Voted.

YANKToN, S. d.. Oct 11.-[Speclal to
The BEE. The table below, as TO the
state vote on capital location, is as COM
plete as it can be made at this time, returns
having been received from every county but
Walworth, which costs not to exceed 400
votes, and winch would not change the re-
suit. The vote on the prohibition question
is not so complete, many of the counties hav-
ing merely reported majorities instead OF
total vote.
1t ia safe to count on 5000 majority, but
not many more. From present indications
it would seem that the prohibition majority
will not be as largo as at first anticipated.
The grand total of votes upon the capital as
reported is a. 1863, and with the addition of
Walworth it will not reach more than "a, 500.
In round NUMBERS it may be said that there
were 15 900 votes cast, The figures in detail

Rand CITY Booming.

RAPID CITY, S. d., Oct. Ill Special to
THE BEE. Every train is bringing large
numbers of people seeking investments in
this city. Those who are observing future
developments begin to realize that the great
wealth of the Black Hills is soon to be un-
covered and that the opening of the tin, coal,
copper and other mines, as also the increased
demand for the great supply of lumber now
in the Hills, is going to build large city for
the headquarters of the several industries,
and that Rapid City is rightly situated and
bound TO occupy that position. The demand
for real estate is such thai a number of new
additions have been put on the market, the
latest being "Fairmont,n in which large
number of lots have already been sold.

The Farmers Review OF Chicago has
made an active effort, through corps
of correspondents in the west, to ascer-
tain the increase or decrease of cattle
and hogs in the west as compared with
last year. The following is its cattle
summary:
Relative TO the present supply of cattle, as
compared with that of last year. the reports
of our correspondents show n falling of OF
9 to per cent in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska, Michigan and

sin the number is about the same as last
year. Dakota shows an increase of per

nesota 81 per cent. In the state last men
toned, four counties report condition
poorn Many of the cattle are grass fed,
and Dodge county, Nebraska, reports the
condition so good that but few animals will
be fed grain, and that a LARGER proportion
than usual will be shipped from the ranges
direct. In many counties in Illinois q goodly
proportion of the best cattle have already
been marketed the present supply consisting
of young ANIMALS, and many calves are being
slaughtered for veal. In parts of Missouri
Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin ana Dakota
cattle are thin on account of short pasturage
A good many farmers in the northwest have
begun to feed, but the short crop of hay in
many localities Will send good many ami
mails to market. In Kearuey and n few other
counties in Kansas the reverse Ia true, and
farmers are holding cattle to consume the

Preparation and Care OF Cuttin ss.

SShTG vi
II. G. Newton, in American Agricul-
turist: 1t does not seem to be gener-
ally understood that nearly all varieties
of cutting can be easily callused or
rooted before it is time to. plant them
in the spring. The cuttings are made
in autumn, after the leaves fall. and
tied firmly in little punches OF fifty or
100 each. Each bundle should be
marked by using two slips of pine,
painted on one side with white lead, or
yellow ochre, and the name distinctly
written with n lead pencil in the fresh
paint. This is covered by the other
slip, and the two are tied together with
a piece of thread. This is firmly tied
in the bundle, and it will not be neces-
sary to guess at the name of the cut
ings. They are stored through the
winter either by placing on bed of
moist earth, butt end down, or in a
trench two feet wide and four inches
deeper than the height of the cuttings.
The cuttings are placed compactly in
this trench, butt end up, and covered
with three or four inches of rich garden
soil. When the ground begins to freeze
they are covered deeply with stable
manure, straw, or leaves. putting on
enough to keep the frost from the cut
tings. In the spring this manure is re-
moved, and the soil over the cuttings
leveled. If it gets dry it is sprinkled
with water and kept moist, not
wet, and when the time comes TO
plant them, most varieties will have
good roots started, while the buds are
dormant, and when planted they are
more sure to grow than if not so treated.
The trench should be made on ground
where water does not stand. For some
of the choicer varieties of grapes, or
other cuttings wanted early, Il cold
frame placed over the trench in the
spring, after the manure is taken off {,
will forward them several days earlier.

Pettigrew and Moody at Pierre.

to THE BEE. Two special coaches drew
Hon. II. f. Pettigrew and party to this city
tonight, and they were given brass band
reception at the depot, as were also Hon. G.
G. Moody and party. They seem to be far
in the lead among the people here for sena-
torial honors The city is literally overrun
with visitors, who are divided into politicians
and spectators, and it is question which
party predominates Each class is doing
hard work in its especial line, but there is no
question but what the speculators are amass-
ing riches the fastest.
Next week the prohibitionists of the state
will gather here for grand praise meeting
over the success of the prohibitory clause to
the constitution. They will number half a
thousand, and it is thought their coming has
some bearing on the senatorial fight IN the
legislature. Whether it means an attempt
to defeat the two apparent leaders in the
contest, Pettigrew and Moody, the most
acute observer has not yet been able to fer
ret. Edgerton and Wardell are not yet on
the ground.

BLINDNESS IN ENGLAND.
Steady Decrease in the Rnte-Causes
OF Loss of Vision.

The number of the blind in the United
Kingdom according to the last census
was 30 ,296, being at the rate of S79 blind
persons per l.000, 900 of the general
population, as compared with $50 in
1871, 964 in 1861, and ,02l in 1851. The
decrease in blindness would thus ap-
pear to be gradual but steady, says the
London Times, even allowing for the
fact that many who have very defective
sight and are practically blind object
to return themselves as such. the
number of those of school age in Eng
land and Wales is LILO, or one
thirteenth, a surprisingly small propor-
tiOn, which points to the fact, we'll
known to specialists, that blindness, as
rule, supervenes in later life, the
average age of the blind being 40. Their
general condition has been much i'm
proved of late years, owing to the
prevalence OF more enlightened no.
tions and the increase of special insti-
tutions. But the commissioners remark
that, in spite of the large charitable
funds and philanthropic efforts devoted
to their welfare, they feel convinced
much may be done TO better the condi-
tion of the blind, and render them
more independent Of charitable aid
than at present.
Accidents from flying pieces OF stone
or chips Of metal are accountable for 5S
per cent of injuries TO the eye, and in
the case of to Al per cent of such acci-
dents the sympathetic inflammation of
the remaining eye which so often sets
in leads to total blindness. Shuttle ac-
cidents, formerly very frequent, We're
diminished by the introduction of
shuttle guards and the number of cases
at the Royal Eye hospital, Manchester,
decreased from twenty-ole in 1884 to
nine in 1850. Strong protective glasses of
tale or mica or fine wire goggles are IA
valuable safeguard against such calam-
titles, and early surgical treatment is Of
high Importance. Granular ophtha l.
mia in badly ventilated and badly
lighted dwellings is another cause, but
with proper sanitary precautions this is
preventible, and during the recent oc-
cupation of Egypt no loss OF sight from
oDhthaimia occurred among our troops,
owing to the excellent care exercised
by the medical staff.
One of the most fruitful causes of
blindness is the Inflammation OF the
eyes of newly born infants, and the
Ophthaimological society estimated
that 80 per cent of the inmates of insti-
tutions and 1000 persons in the United
