OHIO CROP PROSPECTS.

Wheat and Corn Below the Average, and
Fruit Makes Little Showing.
COLUMBUS, August 8.-The State Board
of Agriculture has issued an estimate of the
condition and prospects of the crops on Au-
gust 1. based on returns from a reliable
corps of township correspondents represent
ing all sections of the State as follows:
Wheat, compared with full average, "
per cent; apples, 20; peaches, IL; pears, 13;
grapes, ~.
The present report indicates a decline of
SIX points in wheat prospects since the esti-
mate of July 1. The result of threshing has
been disappointment. Correspondents in
their general remarks refer to corn being
badly injured and poor prospect.

Warden Durston Asserts That Kemmler's
Execution Was n Success.
ALBANY, August 8.-Warden Durston
reached here this afternoon on his way to
New York. He said in an interview that
between hanging and electricity the death
of Kemmler was the more successful. "The
execution was great success" he said, "as
the official reports will show. The public,
upon sober second thought, will feel that
this is the better mode of carrying out legal
executions. Read the statements of all the
doctors carefully, and you will see that the
execution was successful.
Much of the matter telegraphed from
Auburn was for effect. Strip this of the
verbiage and different impression formed.
The statement is made that one of the men
at the switchboard was a Westinghouse
man. Let those VINO assert this prove'it

Methods In Federal Procedure.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 8.-The Ma
tional Bar Association finished its labors to-
day. Much of the true of the last session

tying legal procedure in Federal courts.

and Mr.. Ketcham, of Indiana. The follow
ing subjects were rendered to the standing
committees for report next year: The need
of uniform laws in the making and trans

requirements for admission to the bar In
European countries; the codifcation OF
laws; moral qualifications necessary for ad-

REDUCING HIS WEIGHT.

Fifty Pounds Lighter.
MARION, MASS, August s.-Grovel
Cleveland is growing thinner. He has,
since he come here, eschewed all meats, and
he and Mrs. Cleveland are confning them
selves entirely to fruits and vegetables. He
goes out daily to fish, and insists on doing
the rowing himself. Many say he takes
only one solid meal, and while yet un-
wieldIy, still has shrunk sufficiently under
his training to be noticeable. His walking
and rowing tire out his companions. and his
staying powers under exhaustive exercise,
causes general comment
