The outbreak of Asiatic cholera at Baku, on
the shores of the Caspian, cannot fail to create
a widespread feeling of alarm throughout Eu-
rome. For on the occasion of its former in
vasions of that continent the dread disease
has invariably obtained admission by way Of
Baku. 4 quarantine of the most stringent
nature has been maintained there by the Rus
sian Government for several months past. But
apparently the precaution has been OF no avail
The danger of the spread of the malady can be
estimated when it is borne in mind that at least
two-thirds of the petroleum used in Europe is
shipped from Baku. Should the apprehenslons
that prevail on the subject become realized, it
would prove the deathblow of the popular the
ory, according to which mineral oil in its crude
state is the most powerful disinfectant and
destroyer of cholera germs.

New YORK, Jan. 16.-The most phenom-
email yield of corn ever produced in Amer
lea has been awarded the prize, s., 0QO,
offered by the american Agriculturdlist for
the largest crop of shelled corn grown on
one acre in 1889. The crop was within a
fraction of 255 bushels, green weight,
which shrunk to 239 bushels when kiln
dried, and when chemically dried contained
2f7 bushels. The South Carolina state
board of agriculture doubled the prize,
making the reward 81 600 in all. This crop
was grown by Z. j. Drake, of Marlborough
county, South Carolina. 1t is nearly twice
as large as the greatest authenticated crop
ever before reported. The $500 awarded
for the largest yield of wheat last ear goes
to Henry T. Burton, of Salt Lake city,
Utah, for yield of eighty bushels on one
acre.

Mr.. Moody and several prominent local
clergymen. A large number of people Wis

alongside the abandoned and so to save"
The draining is to be largely through con-
tract, under guidance, with the actual
work. The actual cost of the building was
200, and was met chiefly by well known
Chicago business men. In addition to a
regular corps of instructors, the plan is
to have present a continuous succession of
prominent Bible teachers from the centres
in this country and Europe.

RESERVE BALL PLAYERS.
The Metropolitan Exhibition Company and
Short Stop Ward.


New YORK, Jan. 16.-The case of the
Metropolitan Exhibition company versus
John Ward, the famous short stop of the
New York ball club, came up again in the
supreme court day. on motion of plain
tiff to enjoin Ward from playing with any
other club during the season of 1850. Judge
Rowland, counsel for Ward, entered an
exhaustive discussion Of the meaning of
the word reserve in the contracts. Not
until the brotherhood began to show its
strength did the league bring up the point
IN the reserve rule. He said the plaintiff
could discharge man ia the middle of the
season, and yet a player dare not seek
another engagement. In giving his respects
TO the league, Judge Rowland said the
national agreement contained three things
which were distasteful to the American
people-namely: boycotts, trusts. and
slavery. Plaintiffs lawyers, Choate,
SAID 1t claimed that the players meant ex-
actly what they said in their agreement.
1t was absurd for defendant to come for
ward now and claim that ''reserve'' only
meant he must not play with any other
club IN the league against the New York
club, but he might go outside. AS evidence
against Ward, Choate read extracts from a
book upon base ball written by Ward him
self, IN which the ''reserve' clause is re-
ferred to, and in which, counsel claimed.
and Ward fully admitted it reserved
players for the year next easu-
ing. A decision is reserved

riding together in buggy on Long island.

promptly arrested by Detective Phil
Reilly, of Inspector Byrnes' staff. DIR.

paragraph must, from physical necessity.
default Mrs. Blaine, he added, was still

and Thomas Willis, both full blooded Choc-
taws, were convicted jointly of the murder
OF white man, whose name is supposed to
be A. b. Williams. Williams had refused

Choctaw. His victim was an old man
named Henry Wilson, whom he killed
going through the territory on the 18th of
March last.
The prisoners bore their fate with much
nerve, standing on the scaffold full twenty
minutes while the preparations were being
made. The work, however, went with pre-
cision and dispatch, and when the fatal
drop came there was but a slight groan
from them, a gentle swaying Of six black
bodies and not a twitch or shrug. All
