MISS ANNA DICKINSON.
She Claims That Her Sister ForcfbIy

She Claims That Her Sister Forcib1y
Put Her in an Asylum.
New YORK, April 9.-The Herald will
tomorrow publish startling story rela-
tive to the incarceration of Anna Dicken-
son, the famous lecturer, in an insane
asylum. 1t says: Miss Dickinson came
to New York to-day with DIR. Seward of
Goshen, N. Y, at whose house
she has been since she escaped
from Danville on April I'd. They came
for the purpose of apprising Miss Dickin-
sons friends of New York of the wrong
she has suffered, and to secure legal adj
vice as TO the steps necessary to secure
her freedom if she returned TO Pennsyl-
vania
Miss Dickinson lays the blame for her
incarceration upon her sister, whom she
accuses of harboring an intense feeling Of
jealousy and hatred for. She also ac-
cuses her sisters physician, Dr. Hele-
man, of being in the plot against her. She
says she was taken by force from her
sisters house to the asylum, she resisting
until the skin was torn from her arms
and her garments torn into rags.
DR.. Seward, it appears, became in
formed of the facts, and secured the re-
lease of Miss Dickinson. He expresses
himself entirely confident of the sanity
of Miss Dickinson.
Miss Dickinson herself, when seen by
a reporter, was perfectly calm and ra-
t1onal. She will prosecute her sister for
the mental and physical suffering she has
undergone.

CROP OUTLOOK.
Good Prospect for Large Crops an(
satisfactory Prices

Good Prospect for Large Crops and
satisfactory Prices.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 9.-Prospects
are very good for wheat spectators, for
an excellent wheat crop is assured
throughout California this year. The
comparatively mild winter and equal dis
tribution of rain has been most favorable
for the probabilities Of good crops, while
the strong European market, consequent
upon the failure of the French crop, has
made the local market strong and firm.
The indications for q bountiful season
are very good" said Alfred Bonnister
There has been sufficient rain in both
the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys,
and the probabilities are that the crop
viii be as heavy as any we have had for
some time. Prices are good, and the mar
ket is firm. This market of course, fol-
lows the European market to great ex-
tent, and that market is strong, on ac-
count OF the failure of the French CROP"
William Dresbach thought that the San
joaquin Valley could easily stand little
more rain, though the Sacramento Val
ley was in good condition, and evidently
had enough rain to bring crops out in
good shape. Prices here he said, would,
of course, be regulated greatly by the
European market, which is now strong
and firm.
The majority of the wheat dealers on
Change expressed themselves as satisfied
with the outlook, and all thought that the
crop would be very good one through
out the State
