statutory grounds, from her husband. Rev.
r. Is. Rogers, now pastor OF the First Bap-

spring OF 1887 Mr.. Rogers accepted u call to
the pastorste OF the First Baptist Church
of Franklin. Pa. at salary OF $4,000
year During the first year of his
pastorate he and his wife were idol
lied by the congregation. But jeAl-
ousy and discord entered the pasturs
house in company with Miss Jennie Ross, IA
pretty typewriter, whom he employed as an
amanuensis. To quiet the scandal the con-
gregation patched up reconciliation be-
tween their pastor and his wife. and after
making the pair gift OF 81. 600 started them
on together for pleasure trip 10 Europe.
The couple got no further than New York.
where the quarrel over the pretty type
writer was renewed and the pair separated
for good. They returned 10 Franklin and
took up separate quarters. The preachers
conduct became more indiscreet than be-
fore. 1t Is said that he coolly proposed 10
the elders OF his church 10 get a divorce
from his wife ana marry Miss Ross while
still retaining the pastorate. The elders re-
sponded by demanding his immediate regsig-
nation. This he gave and then left the

RIPE FOK REVOLUTION.
The House of Braganza In Danger of
Being Overthrow at Amy Moment


Being Overthrow at Any Moment
Advices from Portugal are of the utmost
gravity. a revolution that would over
throw the house OF Braganza may break out
at any moment, and the chances would be
very much I'm favor OF its success. The
young King Carlos is in IA predicament,
from which war with England might be
happy deliverance. The feeling in the
nation Is almsst as intense against the
reigning house as il j. against the English,
and the invalid and inexperienced young
monarch Is held up To obloquy as the facile
tool OF Lord Salisbury i'm robbing
Portugal OF her colonial possess
sions. To defy England. OIL the one
hand means the loss of all that remains TO
Portugal and the complete humiliation OF
that country; To comply with England's
demands means the probable, If not certain,
overthrow of the monarchy. Later in
formation shows that the recent disturb
ances in Lisbon were much more serious
than at the time reported, both as 10 the
extent Of the demonstrations and the force
required To Suppress them, but those
demonstrations also revealed the grave fact
that neither the army nor the police can be
relied upon in the event of an attempt TO
overthrow the government.

OCTOBER CROP ESTIMATE.
Bulletin Issued by the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington.

partment at Washington.
The October estimate OF yield per acre for
the entire breadth OF cereal crops as CONSOLE
dated by the Department OF Agriculture are:
Winter wheat, 10.s bushels per acre;
spring wheat, Ills; the wheat crop. Ill;
oats, 1915; barley. 81; rye, lis bushels.
The condition OF corn Is 70.6 instead OF 10.1
last month. Buckwheat, 90.9 instead OF
sos; potatoes. 6l.7, instead OF 1871. There
is practically no change In the general
average OF condition except IA reduction OF
four points In potatoes and an increase OF
two points I'm tobacco The effect of winter
frosts upon wheat Is shown by the low rate
OF yield to have been severe. The figure
would have been lower but for the reduction
of area by blowing and planting OF the worst
fields I'm other crops. Some OF the higher
rates In principal States are: New York,
1872; Michigan, 1872; Illinois, 11.5; Kansas.
1876. In the Ohio Valley the variation in
yield in different counties has the extraor-
binary range OF from five to twenty-five
bushels, and In extreme cases from one To
thirty bushels One county In Illinois
claims "the best crop in years, and another
"poorer crop than was expected The Da-
kota yields. varying from bushel or two
TO 25 bushels, make an average of bushels
per acre; Minnesota returns IL and Wscon
sin 1875 bushels. The estimated yield OF
oats Is 1915 bushels. which Is the lowest ever
reported, probably reducing the aggregate
product more than 200. 0O0. 900 bushels.

WHEAT SUPPLY OF THE NoRTBwEsr

The crop estimates agree generally I'm

the Dakotas at about 90. O00, 900 bushels. 1t
Is conceded that about 20. zoo. 900 bushels
will be required for seed and local consump-
tion by farmers. Deducting this, there re-
mains 10000. 900 bushels The millers OF
Minneapolis are expected 10 consume about
30.000000 bushels during the year. and
this reduces the supply TO 10000. 900
bushels. The winter wheat millers
In the southern belt and the spring
wheat millers OF Wisconsin will prob
ably call for $4,000, 900 bushels, and the
supply goes down 10 $4,000 600 bushels. and
nothing has been said about the wants OF

kotas. 1t is thought Co be fair estimate.

made yet for wheat shipped TO New York.

statement appears 10 De warranted that
good milling wheat will be scarce. with the
result that -four must advance later in the

Seven startling explosions In quick sue

least seven distinct successive explosions.
Every building In the nelghborhood was
wrecked or unroofed. The force OF the
concussion even broke windows in some
parts OF Wilmington. four or FIVE miles
away Twelve men were killed and
many seriously injured. The Office
OF the Dupont Powder Company is a

Several members OF the Dupont firm were
injured by falling walls and broken glass.
but none OF them seriously. The dead were
all employees of the company and were In
and about the mills that exploded. Several
workmen are missing and are believed To
have been blown into fragments. The
wounded received their injuries among the
walls of their falling houses. and by broken
glass and flying debris. The first explosion
occurred I'm one OF the packing mills where
a workman named Grau was receiving a

one second. Immediately after the explo-
sion a large building known as the
"refnery," located near the center
of the village, took fire. 1t was
matter Of life and death to the whole
population that this fire should be extin-

roof fallen in. IL Is doubtful whether any
man, woman, or child I'm the vicinity would
have escaped death or serious injury.
About fifty families are rendered homeless
