The Honey Crop,

SAN Francisco, February 1.-THE
fourth annual review of the honey and
beeswax business of California, by
Schacht, Lemcke & Steiner. of this city,
is out. OF honey, the review says fair
crop has been gathered and marketed
this season. The quality has been up to
the average, and prices satisfactory to
apiarists and dealers. 1t is estimated
that in 1883 there were between $4,000
and $4,000 stands, or hives, of bees in
the State, from which there was mar.
keted 100000 pounds of extracted
honey, and 100000 pounds of comb
honey, or total of 3,500,000 pounds
The yields in former years were 1884,
9,O00,O 1000 pounds; 1885, 1.25O, 1000 pounds ;
1886, 100000 pounds; 1887, 1900, 900
pounds.
OF the past years yield. s75 1000 pounds
went by sail to England and Germany,
and nearly one million pounds were
shipped overland to New York. The re-
view concludes from it's statistics that
1900, 900 pounds af California honey can
be sold at remunerative and satisfactory
rates to the producer yearly.

No Use For Apaches.

SANTA FE. N. NJ, February ia. J.
Fountain, Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, to-day introduced me-
mortal in that body, which unanimously
passed both Houses. The memorial is
addressed to the President Of the United
States and to Congress, protesting
against the proposal to remove Geronimo
and his band of hostile Chiricahua
Apaches from their present place of con-
finement in Florida and to locate them
on the Moscalero Apache reservation in
Southern New Mexico. The memorial
that the Moscalero Apaches
are now peaceab]y disposed and friendly
to the whites, that they are not and
never have been friendly to Geron-
imo or his band, and the location Of
the Chiricahuas upon their reservation
will be the means of causing another
outbreak similar to the one OF 1885,
which resulted in the death of many in
nocent settlers and was great expense
to the Territory to suppress. For this
and several other reasons it is asked that
none Of this band be located within the
Territory.

JACK THE RIPPER. !"
The Whitchapel Fiend Iden-
titled at Last.
HIS LATEST CRIME IN DUNDEE
His Wife the Victim-Strangled,
Mangled, Mutilated and
Packed Into a Trunk.

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.
LONDON, February 1.-THE body of a
woman in chest was discovered by the
police of Dundee. The abdomen was
ripped open and she was otherwise multi
ated. The chest was SO small that the
murderer had been compelled to squeeze
the body into it. The husband of the
woman was arrested.
A later despatch from Dundee says the
murderer is W. II. Bury, the husband OF
the victim. Bury was resident Of
Whitechapel, London, and his antece-
dents, which have been traced, suggest
that he is probably" Jack the Ripper" and
that he is subject to fits Of unconscious
murder mania. A post mortem exami-
nation held on the body of his Dundee
victim proved that the woman had first
been strangled and her body then mutt
lated, the abdomen being ripped open
and the legs and arms twisted and
broken.
Bury says he left Whitechapel three
weeks ago. He refuses to say why he
left there, and acknowledges that he had
no business requiring his attention at
Dundee. He says he and his wife drank
heavily last night before retiring, and
that he does not know how he got to bed.
Upon waking he says he found his wife
lying upon the floor with rope around
her neck. Actuated by sudden mad
impulse for which he cannot &C.
count, he seized knife and slashed
the body. Upon reason returning,
he became alarmed, and hastily
crushed the body into the chest in which
it was found, thinking to fly and make
his escape. He found, however, he
could not leave his wife's remains, and
finally resolved to inform the police.
The theory of the police officials is that
Bury's wife knew of the facts connecting
him with the East End atrocities and
that she took him to Dundee, hoping to
prevent a recurrence of the crimes.

THE nAKnTA CaURCn WAR.
The Governor and the Legislature
Still at DsgHers Drawn.

StAhA u.s. D%kkcHS DHA Nhs
BISMARCK, OAK, February 1.-THE
war between Governor Church and the
Legislature is still on. There were sew
eral measures proposed by different
members as a means of defeating the
Governor by securing his immediate dis
missal from his position, but the leaders
of the House considered them
to be not advisable just now.
However. resolution was adopted
unanimously which will have the
effect Of cutting off one way, the Gov
ernor had to return the fire of the Legis-
lature. This resolution declares that no
communication foreign to the business of
the Legislature and Territory shall be
read to the House, and the Speaker and
Clerk are made the sole judges of what
reports shall be received. The avowed
purpose of the resolution is to prevent the
Governor from making another snch
attack as he made on Saturday, when he
event for" the Legislature and his
own predecessor without gloves. The feel
ing in the matter grows more bitter all
the time, and there is once more some
strong talk of adjournment until sNc-
cessor to Governor Church shall bc ap-
pointed. This action had about been
given up until the recent engagement,
and now the Republicans in the House
and Council are willing to do almost any
thing to defeat Governor Church.

NEW York, February 1.-THE Ohio 4
Western Coal & Iron Co., by Chester
Griswold and Geo. s. Thorman, it's vice
president and secretary respectively
made an assignment to-day for the ben
eis of its creditors. The company ha
been doing business in Ohio and hat
offices in this city, in Columbus, Ohio
and Boston. There are no preferences
Bradstreet's report of April 2S, 1887, sale
the company was not understood to be
earning its interest account as yet, ano
was being nursed along by those holding
its securities, which are largely owned by
banks and trust companies. Its
future depends ON the disposition oi
it's managers. According to the COM
pany's annual report on January 16, its
liabilities were $3 ,309, 900, of which the
bonded debt was $3.50 600, and other
debts, with collateral security, 500, 1000.
The assets consist of 1000 acres Of coal
land in the Hooking Valley, valued at
$400 or $500 per acre, about 800 houses,
three large stores, 400 railroad cars, four
miles of track, three coal mines fully
equipped, furnaces and large amount
of miscellaneous equipments.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 1.-THE
failure of Glidden & Curtiss, of Boston,
Mass, and the subsequent attachment of
the property of the Ohio and Western
Coal Company, has created considerable
excitement and uneasiness in the Heck.
ing Valley, where the property Of the
company is located. The shutting down
of the company will throw 600 to 700
men out of employment. A strange
fatality has been connected with the
property out of which the Ohio and
Western Coal Company grew. James L.
Burkey, who committed suicide in St.
Louis hotel, was harrassed to
the last by the thoughts of the fortunes
he had lost among the Hooking hills.
Geo. Lee, who killed himself in New
York hotel, was haunted in his dying
hour by the spectre of ruin in the coal
fields of Ohio. Royal M. Pulsifer,
founder Of the Boston Herald, took his
own life some months ago, and though
he had many other business complica-
tions to pull him down, he, too,
sought the tabled pot of gold
that was said to be buried at
the foot of the Western rainbow. The
Standard Coal and Iron Company, out of
which the Ohio and Western grew, was
a colossal affair with capital Of $75, ,000,-
900. This is the company in which
James u. Blaine and Steve Elkins we're
interested, holding $25 900 and $4,000
bonds respectively, and F.NW. Harper,
President of the late Fidelity Bank at
Cincinnati, held $500, 900. 1t is under
stood that these holders still have their
bonds. 1t is impossible to state yet the
exact condition of the company's affairs.
