FATE OFlTHE FORCE Bill.
Conflicting Rumors of What VIII be Done
With It,

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 12.-Re-
publican and Democratic Senators
have arrived at an informal agree
ment by which the tariff bill is to be
passed within ten days after it is
taken up and the election bill post
poned until December next. A caucus
of Republican Senators will be held
during the present week, at which
the agreement viii be formally rati-
fed. The Democratic Senators have
plainly told their Republican colea-
cues within the past few days that
unless an understanding was arrived
at by which the elections bill should
be abandoned, they would so proleng
debate upon the tariff bill that no
vote could be had for many long
weeks, if at all. The Republicans
appreciated the fact that the Demo
Gratis held the whip hand, and they
surrendered.
The members OF the Finance Com,
mittee have been verv much worried
at the strong opposition that has
cropped QUITE the bill whichthey have
reported, and have been at then
wits ends to devise some means OF
saving it from defeat. The vote IN
the Senate yesterday by which the
consideration Of the Tariff bill was
postponed frightened the friends OF
the bill badly, and they are willing
to make any deal to bring about its
passage. The Democratic Senators
have determined that the elections
bill shall not be considered, even II
the session is prolonged into Decem'
Der. and have plainly made known
their view to the Republicans. The
result is that the friends Of the tariff
bill have intimated to the Democrats
that if the tariff bill is allowed to
pass the elections bill will be left un,
acted upon. It is confidently assert,
ed by leading Republican Senators
that. in view of this agreement, Con
gress will be enabled to adjourn by
August lst:

Whole Township Missed.

A Raleigh dispatch asserts that no
census Of South Greensboro, Gull
ford county, N. c., which has apopu-
lation OF three thousand, has been
taken, and one township in the
county had no enumerator. In the
township in question a Democratic
applicant for appointment as enum-
orator was appointed over the Re
publican applicant. Soon after he
got to work be was notified of his re-
moval and ordered to turn his books
over to the Republican, but the lat
ter refused to accept the appointment,
and consequently no census has been
taken in that township. There are
similar complaints from all over that
census district. Superintendent Por-
ter would have done better in this
census business if he had paid more
attention to competency and less to
politics in the selection Of supervisors
and enumerators.-Baltimore Sun.

special correspondents Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture il every part Of
the State
Eighty correspondents report the
weather favorable and twenty-five r1-
favorable.
COTTON
The condition of the cotton crop,
reported at 103 one month ago, is
still very high. The warm, dry wealth
er that has prevailed over the greater
part of the State has been most IA
rorable for the growth of the plant
and the destruction of grass. The
crop has been well worked and is
exceptionally clean. At this date
the condition is in upper Carolina
101, middle Carolina 1O1, lower
Carolina 100. Average for the State ,
1O1, against IS at the same date in
1889.
CORN.
The outlook for the corn crop is
not so good as on June 1st, as the
early planting has suffered for rain
in some sections The condition in
upper Carolina is reported at 95,
middle Carolina SO. lower Caro-
lima co. Average for the State 81,
against 81 for the same time last
year. -
The rice crop is generally in good
condition. The acreage, including
the June planting, is reported as 2
per cent, less than for 1889. The
condition is for upper Carolina SO,
middle Carolina 95, lower Carolina
95. Average for the State 96, against
90 at the same time last year.
WHEAT AND OATS.
The small grain crop was harvested
in fine condition. Wheat was seri-
ously injured by rust, The yield is
estimated at six bushels per acre.
The product is estimated at 40 per
cent. less than last year Thirty
six correspondents report the quality
as goOd as last year and elghty-three
correspondents as better than last
year. The yield of oats is estimated
at eleven bushels per acre. The yield
of fall and spring sown was about
the same. The total product is esti-
mated at 90 per cent. less than last
year The quality is reported better
by 3 correspondents. as good byl3o
and inferior TO last yer uy 81 core

SMALLER CROPS.
The smaller crops are reported In
generally good condition: Sorghum
at 81, sugar cane at SO, sweet pota

The latest fashionable sfad''

The latest fashionable ''fad" is
from Yalesville, Pa. At a village I'M
provement entertainment eleven
young ladies personated slaves and
were put up at auction. They were
draped in sheets so as to be unre-
ccgnizeble, and brought from 10 to
95 cents each. That quotations ran
so low is explained by the fact that
it was incumbent upon each pur-
chaser to buy for his slave all the ice
cream, cake and lemonade she de
manded, and to escort her home after
the entertainment.

MURDERED WHILE ON A SPREE.
The Son of New York Lawyer Beaten
to Death.

A special to the Philadelphia Times from
Richmond, January l. says: Frederick Good
rich, son of W. W. Goodrich, a New York
lawyer, died here today and mystery envelopes
his death. He boarded at the Exchange hotel.
and on Monday morning, December %, APP
peared at the hotel with dreadfully beaten up
face, with some bones in his body broken. He
refused to tell how he came by his wounds, but
when pressed claimed that he fell over the iron
fender in his room. He took to his bed and
pneumonia set in. When examined by the
doctors the man was found to have been beaten
all over his body. He had been stamped with
a big foot and the prints of the heel of boot
were visible. Pneumonia was produced by
forcing rib into one of the lungs. The sick
man became delirious, talked constantly about
a man with big nose and red face beating
him. His father and wife were tele-
graphed for i'll New York, and reached
here before he died. Nothing was
known of the occurrence except
to few until Goodrich died This evening the
police received the body, and from information
them think they can show that the
man was cruelty beaten by some party and that
he was left exposed to the cold. Some sensa-
tional developments are expected. The coro-
ner viii view the body tomorrow and afterward
hold an inquest
Goodrich had been on a spree for three
weeks before he received his wounds. He came
here about year ago from Brooklyn, and I'M
til few weeks before his death had been man
ager of the Richmond granite quarry company.
Most of his life has been spent on a cattle
ranch in the west. He was man of fine APP
pearance, and III 1880 married a Miss Knowles
Of Brooklyn. He last seen at the hotel
before he was wounded on the evening prior
to the occurrence. 1t is believed the trouble
took place in some house Of ill-fame. He will
be taken 70 BROOKLYN for interment

AN ATTEMPT TO KILL A PRIEST.
Struck With a Bar Of Iron by Some I'm
known Assaflant.

A special telegram to the Philadelphia Times
from Oneida, NY, Jan. says: The life of Rev.
James A. Kelly of ST. Patricks church, this
city, was attempted during the early hours Of
this morning, and the assassin was only pre-
vented from accomplishing his purpose of muir
der by the loud outcries of the wounded man.
This is the second attempt to do away with
Father Kelly within three months The first
attempt was by poisoning, the sacred altar wine
having been used as a vehicle, a quantity of
arsenic having been put into it. 1t has been
said there is a woman in the case, but there ia
confirm the supposition.
According to the story of the assault Father
Kelly was aroused about $3.50 this morning by
a summons on his door. He descended to the
hallway In answer to a query. The stranger
outside said that the priests services were de-
sired at deathbed and asked to be admitted.
Father Kelly unbolted the door and the stranger
threw his weight against the door. At the
same time he struck Father Kelly a blow on
the head with a heavy instruments If the
weapon had struck him squarely on the skull
1t would have been crushed, but as the blow
was glancing one it made only an ugly scalp
wound. Father Kelly grappled with his as
sallant and cried murder" The assassin, by
an effort, disengagcd himself and took to his
heels. In the scuttle he dropped his weapon.
rather nelly, weak from loss OF DIood ana the
shock of the excitement, sank to the floor.
There the frightened housekeeper found him
lying across the doorway in pool of blood. A
rod of iron about three feet long and an inch
thick lay near him. 1t was the weapon used by
his assailant. doctor was at once summoned
and the wound dressed. Father Kelly only
suffered from nervous prostration and loss of
blood. He says he cannot identify his assail-
ant. This attempt strengthens the opinion
that there is a fixed determination on the part
of some person or persons to wreak vengeance
on the pastor.

A PROBLEM IN COURTSHIP.
Boarding House Keepers Can't Claim
for Wear and Tear on Furniture.

Mrs. Sarah ]. Wilson of No. 1872 Howard
street, Newark. NJ, has been in sore distress
for several days. Her mind has grappled with
an unsolyed financial, social and amatory prob
lem and she has come off somew the worse
for the encounter. Jersey equity In the shape
Of his honor Mr.. Justice Amazi Dean Of the
police court has stepped in at the last moment
and rudely upset Mrs. Wilson's solution of the
puzzle that has hitherto been dealt with only
by big Drained but inexperienced funny edi-
tors and expert but wrath-prejudiced fathers.
The problem is this: What is it worth to let
young man wear out your furniture while he
holds hands with and otherwise courts the
girl of the family?
The parties to the complicated case are John
Dennis, Ida j. Morgan and Mrs. Sarah j. Will
son. Ida is dark haired, brown eyed, red
checked and pretty. John Dennis first met her
last summer out in Warwick. Orange county,
NJ. Ida moved to Newark little more than
three weeks ago to live with her aunts sister
call on Ida when she came to town just az he
used to in the country.
Ida j. packed her trunk Monday and told
Mrs. Wilson she was going to move. She had
paid her board up to next Saturday night but
Mrs. Wilson forbade the girl to take her trunk
away until she should have given up $40 more,
50 for three months washing and a for what
Mrs. wilson then and there defined as wear
and tear on household effects" caused by the
coming in and going out of friend. John
Dennis was that friend. Ida fed to MI Justice
Amzi Dean and had Mrs. Wilson taken before
the honorable police court on charge of at
tempted larceny. MIR. Justice Dean decided the
defendant Wilson must not detain the trunk of
