good stand was already up in many
patches. These were, in nearly every instance,
killed. Most of these farms have other
seeds ID the ground, IL being the custom of
melon growers TO plant seeds every few
days till danger from frost and cold is past.
Inquiry among the best melon growers of
Thomas and Brooks counties justif1es the be-
lief that the melon crop of this
section will be delayed ten days to two
weeks. and from the scarcity OF seed some
will not be able to replant. About one
third OF the cotton crop was up and killed
There Is not such scarcity of cotton seed,
as some have feared, TO prevent prompt re-
planting. Strawberries are very little in

and promising crop was on the trees. are
believed to be SO injured as to cause them
nearly all to fall off later and the small re-
malnder to be very poor. Ten days hence

by the name OF Morris Rubin took a large
amount of laudanum at the Central hotel
with suicidal intent, at 10 clock last night,

was watched. Mr.. Ivey saw him go into his
room at 9 o'clock, and just before 10 looked
through the window to see what Rubin was
doing. and to his horror saw the fellow
lying upon the floor apparently dead. Ivey
rushed for a physician aud DR.. Davis
brought him back to the life he loathed.
He wrote the following letter to bis wife in
Americas, his home:
To MY DEAR Wife, write you this last letter
to let you know l am dead and wish you to send
the policy to my friend, Cohen.
Rubin was formerly a merchant Of
Americas, but failed in business, losing
every dollar. He went peddling, but made
poor he dway at that. and told some friends
that he had rather die than return to his
wife without any money.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April s.-To-night at
fairs at the interstate convention indicate
that the local operators and miners of Penn
sylvania and Ohio are about as far apart on
the eight hour day question as it is possible
for them to be and next month will see 75,-
600 miners quit work unless their demand
is granted or a compromise effected That
is the position of the men and they
are met by "a fat-footed statement
from the operators that an eight-hour day
will not he conceded, and that a shut down
is inevitable If the men refuse to make a
modification. This is the leading question
before the interstate convention, and if it is
not settled amicably, all other con"
siderations will be thrown aside, aud
the interstate agreement and convention
will be a thing of the past. The
miners have the assurance of the federation
of labor that they will have the support of
that powerful organization, and are dis
posed to be jubilaut, while the operators
assert that, especially in the Hooking valley
region, many burdens not borne by COM
petitors in the western districts are sus-
tanned, and that it is impossible to concede
