CHICAGO, March 0. Arrangements
have been completed for the construc-
tion OF the large airship by the Mt. Car
mol company. The exposition building
has been leased for three moaths. The
south half of the building is being en-
closed, and within this space the big
ship will be completed. A large quan.
tity Of aluminium has been ordered
from Pittsburg for the purpose. In
ventor Bennington declares that within
sixty days the ship will be ready for its
trial fight, and few passengers will
be carried on its first trip to New York.
Another test will be made ON the lake
front after it has been finished, and the
directors of the company are satisfied
that this test will demonstrate beyond
all question the value and practicabillty
of the Bennington invention.

A Great Day in Ireland.

DUBLIN, March 9.-Yesterday was q
great day in Ireland. Parnellites and
anti. Parnellites held numerous meet
ings, attended with broken heads and
other symptoms. Parnell's meeting at
Newry was grand affair in point of
numbers and enthusiasm. Notwith-
ing the virtual prohibition of the bishop
from attendance at the demonstration,
and the bitter denunciation of Parneli
by the clergy, not less than 5000 per-
sons were present from the town and
country round about. The Mccarthy
ties, with the aid of the priests, tried to
hold counter demonstration, but it
amounted to very little.
Mr.. Parnell bitterly denounced the
interference of the clergy and spoke
hopefully Of lreland's prospects Of gen
uine home rule. Ho asserted that Irish
men must depend on themselves and
not on England for bringing about the
accomplishment of national government
for Ireland. His utterances were loudly
cheered. A McCarthyite in the rear Of
the crowd, who shoutei out something
derogatory to Parnell and waved copy
of the bishops pastoral, was inmedi-
ately attacked. He sought safety in
flight, but was pursued and captured
by party Of Parnellites, who com
PEELED him to kneel down and eat the
paper on which the pastoral was
printed.

steel saws IN NIceIys, cells.

SOMERSET, Pa, March 0.-About a
dozen steel saws, nine inches in length,
were found in the cells of joe and Dave
Nicely, the notorious murderers, who
are to be hanged April 2. The sheriff
is greatly disturbed over the discovery,
and is at loss to account for the saws
and file in the murdercrs' cell. No one
but the jail officials have been allowed
to see or speak to the condemned men
except their attorneys and relatives,
and the latter in the presence and hear
ing of an officer. 1t is more than prob
able that the tools discovered were
smuggled into the prison by relations
of the condem ned men.

vented adequate ventilation, but per-

BERLIN. March 9.-Bismarcks pres

ticipated. The London Times frankly
advised the prince in recent article to
enter the reichstag if he wished to ex-
press his opinion plainly on affairs of
state, instead of using the columns of
newspapers which he is supposed to con-
troll, but for whose utterances he does
not assume open responsibility. The
prince, it is now said, seriously con-
siders the acceptance of the latest offer
made to him for Goestemunde, in Han
over, and it is believed he will accept it.
The Bismarckian policy is evidently re-
gaining something of its former strength
in Germany and the prince could not
enter the reichstag at more favorable
time for himself.

an early hour multitudes poured into

all paris of the city, and the old door
keeper finally discovered that all Of tho
pushing and enthusiastic patrons had

hanging committee of certain pictures
containing more of the female form un-

with public morality. The publication
of the facts of the protest had excited
public curiosity to such an extent that
the record of admissions to the academy
was easily heaten, and the nude pic

curious people who came to see for
themselves what all the trouble was

uence against Him.
CAMDEN, N. j., March 9.-The state
forged another link in the chain of cir
cumstantial evidence against Francis
Lingo Saturday. 1t was a torn blue
shirt bearing traces of blood and which,
it is claimed by the prosecution, corre-
spends with the shirt worn by Lingo ON
the morning of the murder. The testi-
mony of George Wilson, John Miller's
'colored hired man, brought out the fact
that Lingo wore a. blue shirt that morn
ing. Constable David Carlin testified.
that he found it near the wire fence,
near the path leading to the Hampton
road.
Constable Carlin related the circum-
stances of Lingo's arrest. He said,
Frank / am instructed to take you to
the station house" Lingo answered,
Tell my wife where l am and bring
me something to eat, / amt done
nothin." The arrest was made before
Mrs. Miller's body was found. Lingo
was suspected because the Du Hallway
boys said they saw colored man in
the woods on the day of the murder.

WORSE THAN FLOODS
Disastrous Effects Of the Wet
Weather in the South.
DUBIOUS OUTLOOK FOR oorroN.

Two Months OF Continuous Rainfall
Has SO Thoroughly Saturated the
Soil That Farm Work Is Mt a
6tandstili- Aaricalturists Agree
IA Gloomy Predictions.
ATLANTA, Ga, March 0.-For over
sixty days rain has fallen almost con-
tinuously over the cotton states. The
effect on the preparat ions of the farm
ers for the crops Of the coming season is
expressed in the declaration of State
Agricultural Commissioner Nesbit, of
Georgia, that "the prospect has not
been 80 bal in forty years.
Capt. r. F. Kalb. of Alabama, re-
ports that this condition exists in all
parts of Alabama, and that the wet
weather has put the farmers of the state
buck fully thirty days. "At this sea-
son, he says, ''corn is all or nearly all
planted throughout the Black Belt. but
now | do not know of single farmer
who has planted his corn. and / have
asked dozens of Black Belt farmers
about corn planting" 1t is estimated
that in many parts of Alabama the re-
duction in all crops will bo 30 per cent.
Too Wet for Work.
From Mississippi comes the informa-
tion that 1.-The rainfall since Christmas
has been unprecedented. The rain did
not come in great foods and wash things
away and overflow the low ground, but
has been regular, and it continuously
kept the ground too wet to plow. In
fact, even in tho uplands, the ground
was too soft curing the months of JAN
uary aud February to permit of any
kind of farm work being done. No
rails could be handled, fences repaired
or bitches made; in fact. everything
has been at stIndstill, aud the conse-
quences are the farmers ara very much
depressed. No corn is planted, and,
with tho most favorable conditions
from now on, crops will be planted at
least three weeks later than usual.
From South CAROLINE and Arkansas
the same story is told, In an inter-
view with Mr.. S. NJ. lnman, who is at
the head OF one of the largest cotton
purchasing houses from Georgia to
Texas. he says: 1--WE cotton men are
generally very close observers of tho
weather, and in all my experience | do
not remember to have ever seen a sea-
son when the preparations for the crop
were SO backward and the outlook for
good crop was so unpromising,
Mkt Years Crop.
"This is bound to have n very mate
rial influence upon the sizs OF next
years crop, aad even if Che same acre
ago be planted this year | do not look
for crop the coming year within
60o. 900 bales OF tho size Of the present
crop. Last year the months of January
AM February were almost perfect for
the preparation of the ground for the
crop. Taking the cotton states as u
whole, it was perhaps n year of the
most phenomenal production per acre
that we have ever had. AS a conse-
quence the American cotton crop this
year will be in the neighborhood of
1000, ,00U bales more than it has ever
been before The crop of last year was
some 35O, 600 bales in excess of the year
before, so that the increase in proluc-
ton has been nearly $50. .010 bales in
two years, or 350, 000 bales last year and
100000 bales this year"
