criticised at length, and the arbitrary

THE MOTIVE WAS ROBBERY.
Fiendish NEQ der of Three Friars
by Italian Brigands.

Fl0nulSn NpV der Oh Inree FrlafS
by ItaHan Brigands.
LONDON, Aug. 3O.-Dispatches from
Rome tell of terrible murder at Narni,
in Umbria. About twelve miles from
the city of Narni, on the side of a
mountain, is an ancient convent called
LoSpeco, IN the woods near which ST.
Francis of Assist used to wander about
in contemplation. The convent has
lately been inhabited by only five
friars, who we're greatly respected by
the people of Narni. Sunday morning
two of them went to celebrate mass in
village near by, it being the feast of
st. Lorence. The other three. about IL
O'Clock, went as usual to their dinner in
the refectory. While they were eating
they were surprised by four individuals
with their faces masked. and armed with
wig knives and sticks, with which they
attacked the friars. One of the monks
was beaten to death, another killed by
havirg his throat cut. and the third
stabbed andi left for dead, although
he did not die until he had
told the story. A boy of thirteen
years who lived in the convent was
also killed. The motive is supposed to
have been robbery. So far the assas-
SINS have escaped arrest. Brigandage
is again becoming somewhat frequent
in Italy, and one brigand, upon being
offered bribe by captive to permit
him to escape, said he would willingly
comply, but that, should he do so, the
other brigandS would pursue him even
to America to Wreak vengeance upon
him.

Kansas eastward to Ohio and Kentucky
the corn crop was much improved.
Missouri reports prospect of an aver

with prospects of better crop
than was expected. In the west gulf
states the weather was generally favor
able for cotton, the crop is opening we'll
in Arkansas and picking has progressed

proved. except in the northern portion
of Virginia. New Jersey reports cOndf-

tobacco crop of excellent quality In Penn
sylvania In New York the weather was
too cool for rapid growth of corn, and
heavy rain caused injury to potatoes.
Reports from New England show that
corn is maturing slowly, and will re-
quire several weeks more of favorable
weather to assure a good crop. Light
frost occurred IN the Connecticut valley
on the oath. In Oregon the weather
was favorable for harvesting and thres1-l

following day the matter was turned

We look with great apprehension upon the

The Condition OF Ireland Grows
GlOOmier Daily.
DUBLIN, Aug. 31.-TAe condition of
Ireland is becoming more and more
gloomy. While the national league ten
aciously holds to the plan of campaign,
the landlords, aided by the royal con-
stabularY and the British army and
navy. have very generally been success
full in evictions. Few dare take an
evlcted farm, and the consequence is
that the crops have gone to waste, or,
when gathered in, have been sent to
distant market for the benefit of the
land owner. In many instances evicted
tenants on the west coast and islands
have been deprived even of the boats
with which they reaped scanty living
from the sea, and left helpless to await
the winter. Meantime the funds of the
national league are running short, and
contributions are lessening in both Ire
land and America. although the next
general election will undoubtedly be
the supreme struggle tor Irish home
rule.

be attributed to dry weather and frosts.
It SAYS that many families are prepar-

ries. as they are unable to obtain
enough to live on. The journal believes
it to be the imperative duty of both

BETTER DEAD THAN ALIVE.
Demise Of George Gilbert, the
Noted Ohio Miser.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Aug. 80. = The
death of George Gilbert reveals some
strange doings of the man who was a
confirmed miser. During the last fifty
years he had lived alone, devoting his
time to saving money, which he depos-
tied in banks. 1t was his boast that his
living the year round did not cost him
to exceed three cents per day. In 1855
he sold neighbor load of hay for s27.
Gilbert punctually collected the interest
each year, and last year he accepted the
principal, it having earned him over
S1OO. Gilbert leaves an estate valued at
s125, 900 to $150,OO0, and has no relatives
residing in this section.

FROST CUTS NO FIGURE.
Manitoba's Wheat Crop Is Out Of
Danger.

TORONTO, Ont. Aug. SO.-The Mani
toba and Northwest harvest is now
probably all beyond the reach of acct
dent. The yield of grain and roots is
such as was never surpassed, and sell
dom equaled in any country. Four
days ago the reaper commenced.
and miles of grain is falling
in bound sheaves from the reaper
and binder. The crop is light
i'm the United States and elsewhere.
Sixteen million dollars will come into
Manitoba and the Northwest for wheat
alone. How much Canada will get for
oats and potatoes cannot be calculated,
but they will get good round sum.
