REPORT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD
THE OTHER CROPS GOOD.
Dublin March 10.-The irish Local Government
Board has issued its lorGexpected report on thc
failure Of the potato crop and upon the condition OF
the congestcd district. Among other things the re-
port says that the districts In which the disease ap
reared comprise about half Of Ireland, and thet the
disease is due 10 the planting OF old Champion seed
the dseaseressting properties Of which have been
greatly weakened Of late years In light dry SOILS
the report says the crop in places was excellent,
but in the cold, wet land and In the mountain dis
trcts the failure was everywhere serious. Contlnu
ing the report says that me crops In general sfc
good the green crops up TO the full average and
the other resources OF the farmers about up to
the average.
Briefly put the report goes to show that the small
with scarcity Of potatoes which is unprecedented in
thirty ycaIs causing the deepest distress In the con
cesed districts this distress being aggravated by the
reluctance Of the local shopkecpers to grant credit
50 early in the season, before they are able to

The relief applications are confined 70 tie con, con-
gestod districts OF the w-St and 70 the laborng and

fellow-attorney David II. Poston. whom he muir
dcred to-day in the open street in the presence
Of scores VI people Only the strong walls and

A woman is at the bottom Of the affair. She is
Mrs Mary j. PILLOW. widow of General Gideon
J. Pillow, of Fort Pillow fame Mrs. Pillow is
about forty-fv- years old and looks thirty five.
She Is a woman Of beautiful presence, finely edu-
Gated and of the most fascinating manner. Cos
sip was frequent concerning her, and women of
her own social rank gradually drew away from
her after her husband death, but nothing posi-
lively wrong was proven against her until She
met II. Clay King four years ago. He fell desper-
ately in love with her. She encouraged him,
and finally his nfatuation caused him TO throw
of all disguise He deserted his wife and children
to 20 and board" at her house, and when the
scandal became notorious that it could no longer
