Fort Meade Not to be Abandoned.

Some weeks since an article was published

developed an investigation by Col. Elmer |

for information that officer said no advices
relating to the matter had been received by
him and the statement was believed to be o
canard. 1t is to be hoped that the generals
superstition is correct, as Meade is one Of
the most important posts in the west, and
is II point Srorn whence soldiers could be de-
tailed to any threatened point in the west
on the shortest notice. 1t is also reported
from Washington that by order of Secretary
Proctor the wood and timber reservation Of
Fort Meade has been extended by the addi-
ton of four square miles Of territory, which
certainly does not look like abandonment,

Killed in Il Wreck.

A collision occurred near Bridgeport.
o., between a train conveying about
seventy miners to the Wheeling coal works
and a freight. The passenger train and a
portion of the freight train was demol-
ished. David Moore, q miner, was killed.
Four others were fatally injured and about
twenty more seriously injured. The acct
dent was caused by failure of the engineer
of the freight train to obey orders. He
had been instructed to wait at the mines
until the freight train arrived, but instead
pulled cut for Bridgeport.

E,our lsnrrels or Cotton Ducklne.

A wonderful evolution in -four barrel
making is promised by a patent which has
been granted for the making OF barrels out
of cotton ducking instead of wood. The new
material is impervious to water, and will
resist fire for a long time. It weighs to
the barrel about fifteen pounds less than
the wood and can be manufactured 10 per
cent. cheaper. The cotton duck barrel
can be rolled up into q small space and re-
turned to the mills for frequent use. The
hour merchants of Atlanta, Ga, have
given it a fair trial and pronounce it a
success.

AFFAIRS THAT CONCERN DAKOTA.
An Important p.kot. Gas. Decided,

In Important Dakota Case Decided.
Land Commissioner Croft has just rem
dered q decision in the case of May Barr,
formerly WATSON, a resident of the Mitchell
land district. It appears from the testi-
mony that in July. 1885. Mrs. Barr, then q
resident of the state OF Iowa, went to Dako-
ia and visited. and while there took up
eighty acres adjoining the tract then re-
Gently entered by Michael Barr. She pur-
chased q house and had it moved on her
claim. broke one acre and made other i'm
provements at that time. She says in her
testimony that she had no intention of mar
rying Mr.. Barr and that later they married
and moved the houses up close together
upon the line. and sodded them all around
on the outside. making one house. They
were then papered. Mr.. Barr put his bed,
stove, table. etc., in his house, and she put
her bed, stove and table in hers. There is
no.means of communication between the
two different parts of the house except by
going outside. each having an outside door;
that She acted in good faith in making en-
try. not knowing Michael Barr at the time,
and having no understanding that it was to
pe kept in Bars family. and that she COM
piled with the homestead law fully" Mrs.
Bars claim was rejected on the ground
that husband and wife cannot maintain
separate relations at the same time and in
the same house, SO that each, by virtue of
said residence. may perfect entry under the
homestead law. 1t is said there are q num-
Der of cases in the general land office SINH
lar in all important respects to the case of
Mrs. Barr.
A Suggestion From the North.
ANorth Dakota paper says: There is no
good reason why a law should not be enact
ed that tlxes tho date when primary elect
tons shall be held. prescribing the manner
of voting. the qualifications of voters and
fixing the hours during which the polls shall
be open. The place should be the usual
place OF holding elections. The time should
be a fixed number Of days before the elcc-
ton. The democratic and republican com-
mltteemen. or the committee of any party
intending to place a ticket in the field,
should act as judges for their respective
parties and receive and deposit the ballots
as they are offered. in separate boxes pro-
vided for their respective parties. each
committee canvassing their own party vote
Tho several parties should meet at the same
time and place and in the same room. as
many ballot boxes being provided as there
are parties Calming recognition. The day.
like the day for all general elections, shall
be made a legal holiday. Delegates to the
state. congressional, judicial, legislative
and county conventions could be elected at
the same time. The usual oath required OF
a voter challenged at the polls should be re-
quired. and in addition that tho person
challenged intends to abide by the result of
his party convention, for if he does not no
should have no voice in the selection of the
candidates.

Preliminary Report on Crop Averages.

Preliminary Report on Crop Averages.
The department of agriculture reports
the general percentage Of the condition of
corn at 9l.7, against 90.9 a month ago, and
50 for the crop of 1888 on the LIST of Octo-
Der. The condition of potatoes is 77.9
against 1876 last October, and of buck
wheat 80, against 92.1 last year. The pre-
liminary estimate of the yield per acre is
1913 for wheat, 11.9 for rye, and 1922 for
barley. The past month has been favora-
BILE for corn. A slight frost north of 40
degrees injured late corn, but the percent.
age of damage is generally very small.
The best development of maize was in the
Missouri valley. Returns of the Weld per
acre of wheat are in thrasher measurement.
This report is preliminary, as the local es-
Inmates will be tested by the record books
or thrashers now coming in. The present
averages for the principal states are 1873
bushels in New York. Pennsylvania, 1913;
Ohio, 14.6; Michigan, 14.7; Indiana, 14.7;
Illinois, 16; Wisconsin, 14.2; Minnesota,
14.6; Iowa, 1871; Missouri, 10; Kansas,
1874; Nebraska, 10; Dakota, 8.3, and Cali
f%ornia, S. Winter wheat was injured in
many districts during harvest and in stack
by heavy rains and is comparatively light,
grading badly, thus reducing its weight and
value.

BURKE BACK AT CHICAGO
IRIsHMEN AT GRAFTON EAGER TO
TAKE HIS LIFE.

ono OF the Mob a Cousin of Dr.. Cronin
Violence Prevented by the Detect
ives-The Captive Safely Landed at
Chicago-The Trial of the Other
Prisouers
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-A special from Fargo,
OAK, says: Martin Burke will probably
never forget his trip through Manitoba and
Dakota. At every station where the train
stopped there was a crowd waiting TO catch
glimpse Of him. At Grafton there was at
least 800 men, most of them apparently
lrlshmen, who boarded the sleeper and
demanded admittance. Many were persist
ent In the demand to get into the car, tell
ing Lieutenant Ross that if they could
ca, ch q glimpse of the prisoner they would
XIII MN with as little hesitancy as they
would a rat.
COUSIN OF CRoNIN.
"'Dr. Cronin, said one of them, was a
cousin OF mine, and | want to avenge his
death If l could only get chance As he
spoke he drew revolver from his pocket
and peered in the smoking compart-
ment OF the car where Burke WAS
with two officers, but before be
had time to distinguish the faces
A@AS0Os AIOoo luSlAGu MN OIL Lu6 DldILOEHl,
and his place was taken by curious Dako-
tan. Burke heard the strangers denuncia-
tlon and threats but he was as cool as If he
had been safe behind the bars of Sheriff
Matson's lail. L might as we'll be snot in
Dakota as hanged in Chicago he said
when be heard the threats. Notwithstand-
ing this he was, 1t is asserted, badly fright
ened."
SAFE IN CHICAGO.
Burke was landed safely in Chicago a
few minutes before 10 o'clock tonight.
Contrary to expectation he was not brought
to the Union, depot but was taken from the
train at Canal and Fulton streets by Chief
Hubbard and conveyed, probably, to the
county Jail. A swarm of reporters and
many curious people had gathered at the
depot to see the prisoner, but they were
disappointed, as was also a body of detect
ives, who had been sent there under COM
mand Of lieutenant to guard against sur
prlseS.
TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO PRISONERS.
Judge Horton to-day settled the mat
ter of the change of venue asked for
by p. O'Sullivan, the ice man, by
transferring OSullivan's case, together
with those of all the other prisoners,
from branch No. l of the criminal court,
over which he presides, to branch No 2,
presided over by Judge Mcconnell. In
doing this Judge Horton said that the
statute which gave O'Sullivan a light
to ask for change of venue
must not be used for the purpose of secur-
ing a separate trial. tie transferred all the
cases to branch No. 2 in order that the
prisoners might be tried together. Judge
Horton then overruled the motion to quash
the indictments III the cases of Beggs
Coughlin, Woodruff and Kunza The
prisoners were arraigned and each man
pleaded not guilty.
On motion of the states attorney, tho
case against all the prisoners was set for
trial before Judge Mcdonnell on Monday,
Aug 26
