Charged and Allowed to Retire-No ver-

CHICAGO. December l3.-In the Cronin
case to-day. Judge Longenecker began the
closing speech for the State. Judge Longe-
necker during his argument had the trunk
and DIR. Cr0nin's clothes brought in and
placed before the jury. The states attor-
ney told the route taken by the wagon, the
story Of the trunk and Of the theory Of the
defense that the doctor had died Of apo
plexy.
"Look at these cut clothes and the blood
in the trunk; remember all you have heard,
and say If you think that the Doctor died OF
apoplexy."
One of the arguments Of the defense, Mr.
Longenecker continued. was that the books
of Camp ~ did not show the apprOpria-
tion Of money, and ne the conspiracy could
not have been carried on without money, no
conspiracy so far as Camp 20 vas con-
cerned, existed. "Of course. the
books did not show an appropria-
tion. There was no money 10 be
appropriated. II had been stolen by the
men who are behind this great conspiracy
The speaker looked at the defense in eX-
pectation Of an objection, but none was
made.
Judge Lengenecker then concluded rs
follows: "Gentlemen.-lOu are not here To
acquit guilty men or to convict innocent
men; but any sane man must, by carefully
weiVhing the evidence Of this trial, believe
these five men guilty.
The States Attorney then sat down, and
the great case was ended.

The Continued Rains.

Another week Of almust uninterrupted rain
, fall has been added TO the protrscted wet sea-
sou. Complaints among farmers are general
regarding the damage TO crops and land in
cultivation which has been caused by the ex-
cessive and continuous rains. Cultivated land
has been seriously washed out and the cultiva-
iion OF corn and other crops has been serious
~ embarrassed. The result is that low land
corn is tor the most part an entire failure,
while much OF the upland crop is fatally injur-
ed BY the washes and by the excess of gras>
resulting from lack Of cultivation. The grow
ing tobacco crop, the greatly diminished acre
age OF which has been heretofore noted, ha.
been in most localities seriously injured by the
wet weather. Much good tobacco land is OBJ
servable upon which the crop is an entire fail
ure. Large fields are reported, which have
heretofore yielded abundant crops of fine to-
bacco, upon which the crop is completely
dwarfed into that condition known among the
planters as "Fr-nched," and is going to seed
with leaves few inches long, thus indicating
u complete failure. In addition to all this,
wheat and other small grain standing in the
fields in shocks, OF which there is still a coa-
siderable quantity, has sustained much addi-
iional injury by the continuous rain of the past
week. Alt.g gether the prospect for the tiller
ofthe soil is not bright one at present.

Crop Reports.

The Maryland crop report Of the agricul-

corn crop of Charles county: I'm consequence
of the excessive rains acreage has been very
much decreased They could also have stated
with truth and force that the acreage planted
is faring badly that much of it is entirely
drowned out or otherwise seriously injured by
waller and that the prospects OF crop TO sup
ply as much rs Two THU ds uf the demand are
very loor iAdeed. Regarding Other Maryland
crops The report says: Nv heat, which at one
time bid fair TO excel the expectation OF grow
ers, has turned out TO be poor crop. The
same may be said OF oats. Potatoes have been
reduced in area and the yield is light. large
falling of of the area in tobacco is reported
amounting to over % per cent. on both cigar
and manufacturing leaf, the latter sustaining
most OF the loss. The, preliminary estimate on
tobacco makes reduction of 81 per cent. in
