THE RICE CROP.
nan Talnsee's Sons Estimate OF the
Years Yield.

nan TaImsge's Sons Estimate OF the
Years Yield.
The harvesting of the rice crop is not only
completed, but its thrashing and milling so
far advanced that the outcome can now be
accurately determined. Earlier estimates
are more than fulfilled. the New York Com
r,erciaI Bulletin says. except in the case of
Georgia; the falling away in that state.
however, is made up by gains in the Caro-
iinas. The total product along the Atlantic
coast Is 100, 900 barrels, as against las, 900
barrels last year. The yield cleaned
of the respective states is as follows:
North Carolina, 2, 500 barrels; South
Carolina, 10000 barrels; Georgia.
62. 500 barrels. Louisiana turns
out much better than expected in the early
harvest, and the yield will fully equal that
of last year. The entire crop was cut and
housed under unusually favorable circum-
stances, and it is therefore in better shape
for carriage than for several years past
The quality is of high order in the Caro-
Iipas: fair TO good in Louisiana. The pres
ent range of values is to cent per pound
below Importation cost of equal grades of
foreign rice. The following table from Dan
Talmage's Sons. New York. shows the total
consumption of rice in the United States
for the past seven years:

An Interesting Case.
From the Neao York Sun.

An interesting and somewhat important
case is likely to be decided by the United
States supreme court. 1t involves the right
of a penitentlary warden to order the in
Fiction of corporal punishment upon con-
vict. The case comes up from the United
States court for the Western district of
Michigan. A convict named Chris johnson
was on Aug. 5, 1887, for some alleged in
fraction of prison rules, fiogged with a
leather strap on his bare body. This was
done by order of the warden of the prison,
E. c. Watkins. The convict sued the
warden for S25, 200, claiming that he had
been greatly hurt, bruised, wounded, and
made SICK sore and lame. and that he was
permanently crippled from the effects of
said fiogging, and has been ever since en-
tlrely disabled for manual labor. The case
was tried last summer in Grand Rapids,
Mich, and created great deal of interest,
many of the most prominent lawyers
Of the state being engaged in it.
The warden was acquitted On
the first trial, and it was argued again be-
fore Circuit Judge Jackson and District
hdge Severns. In October last the court
rendered verdict in favor of the plaintiff
for the sum of 81, 1888. Warden Watkins
now asks the court for a writ of mandamus
on Judge Severns to set aside the judgment
in the case. The defense of the warden is
that he was only carrying out the law of
the state of Michigan, which intrusts him
with the good order and discipliCe of the
convicts under his charge He ordered the
logging of the prisoner as the only means
IN his power for enforcing the necessary
discipline. The sentiment of the LAWYERS
Of Michigan and the citizens generally is
opposed to the verdict of the court, and
Warden Watkins has practically defed the
decision by ordering the aogging of prison
ers siace the decision was made. He pub
lcly announced few days ago that he
should continue the practice OF corporal
punishment if necessary until a final deci-
son was made ia the court of last appeal.
1T is thought the supreme court will make
decision on the petition for mandamus
during the coming week.

And What the Crematory Left of DR.
Bartlett Was Buried.
From the Ne,U York Wor

MILWAUKEE, WIS, Dec. 14.-Dr. John K.
Bartlett died in Los Angeles, Cal, on Nov.
% last. In accordance with the terms of the
will and oft-repeated wish of DIR. Bartlett,
his body was cremated. Several days ago,
Charles Ilsley, president of the Marshall and
Isley bank, received Dir. Bartlett's dust by
mail-a whitish powder and inclosed in
a small rosewood box III inches
long, s inches wide and only S
inches deep. Yesterday afternoon several
friends of the dead man met at the residence
Of Mr. Ilsley on Marshall street. The little
rosewood box was neatly draped in black
velvet. The party proceeded to Forest
Home cemetery, where a small and narrow
grave had been dug. The box was placed
in the excavation and the earth deity
shaped into a mound smaller than that Of
any infant reposing beneath the cemetery
sod. There were no ceremonies and the
party returned to the city as quietly as it
had departed. The interment took place in
DR.. Bartlett's family lot, and a handsome
shaft will mark the spot.
