June Crop Report.

| NAsHvMLE. July 3.-Commissioner
Godwin's monthly crop bulletin, issued
today, says the wheat crop is abundant.
averaging 91.5, an advance of s.5 since
May. The grain is plump and of excel
lent quality. Many binders were pur-
chased for the present crop, as many as
one hundred being reported from one
county alone.
Conditions have been exceedingly
favorable for corn, and it is generally
small for this date, but had been thor
oughly cultivated through May, and
has shown remarkable growth since the
rains began and has rich color. The
stalk is good and the prospect for full
yield was never better. The condition
for the State is S6.5. BY reason of con-
tinued rains, which have interfered with
| cultivation, the crop in some sections is
getting grassy. In West Tennessee the
acreage is per cent. greater than that
of last year, while in the central section
it is z per cent less, and in the eastern
division per cent. less. This makes
the total acreage about the same as last
year. There is more late corn than
usual.
The acreage of cotton is largely de-
creased, the reduction averaging 16 per
cent. The condition has much i'm
proved, and while not yet satisfactory,
farmers are more hopeful, The condi-
ton, compared with the full crop, is 73.
The decreased acreage is attributable to
hod afondc and nrocDac+iva 1ouy ,,rfcoo
AS indicated in the last report, many
plowed up and seeded corn, which, to
some extent, accounts for the increased
acreage of corn in cotton growing sec
tions.
Tobacco plants set about May IS did
not do well, and bad stand was the re-
suit. Many plants were set about June
9, and as several cloudy days followed,
the plants grew off nicely. The acre
age, compared with that of 1890, is 92.6.
The condition is eS. In Stewart County
much Of the crop was not set until June
16 Many of the plants planted during
the dry weather rotted to the ground.
{ Some of the farmers plowed up and
planted again, while others planted to
corn. The acreage is decreased, being
10, as compared with last year. The
condition is rs.
The first crop of Irish potatoes has
been much injured by drouth, the yield
averaging only 81 per cent. of full
crop. The yield of oats is very small,
averaging SO. In some sections spring
sown oats were almost failure. In
others the crop was greatly improved by
rains. Many yields were too low to cut.
Winter oats again have remained in re-
markably good condition, considering
the scarcity of corn, and are generally
healthy.
Little hog cholera is reported, except
in the Ninth District. Fruit is falling
off badly in many counties.

Murderer and Outlaw.

KNOXVILLE, June 3O.-The famous
outlaw and murderer, Berry Turner, has
been captured The first news came
yesterday, whom the prisoner, in charge
Of Sheriff Taylor, arrived In this city.
Berry has for years been the leader OF
the notorious Turner gang, inhabiting
the mountains near Cumberland Gap.
In Kentucky he killed man named
Lewis, and also mere boy. He was
arrested and confined in the jail at Pine
vile, but in August, 1890, he broke jail,
knocking the jailer's wife down with a
beer bottle when she attempted to stop
his progress. Straightway he returned
to Tennessee and in Campbell County
last August shot his cousin, Will
Turner, in the back with Willis gun.
While the victim was in deaths throes
Berry cursed him, charging him with
betraying him to the Kentucky author
tiles. That murder broke up the Turner
gang, all being against Berry for his
bloody act. He could not return to the
haunts of the Turner gang and has been
roaming around heavily armed, stealing
what he desired. Four weeks ago
Sheriff Sexton, of Union County, gave
the desperate close chase, but he
escaped. Sheriff Taylor and his posse
captured him near Cumberland Gap, the
officers getting right on to him before
he was aware of their approach.

sARDsLEY's SENTENCE.

Penitentiary and to Pay n Fine Equal to

PHILADELPHIA, July 2. Ex-City
Treasurer John Bardsley was brought
up from the county prison into the new
courthouse this morning. The proceed
ings were conducted SO quietly that
only the court officers were aware that
the distinguished prisoner would again
be placed in the dock. Consequently
there were only few people in the
court at 10 o'clock.
A court officer sat at the head of the
stairs and denied admittance to every
body except those having business with
the court. Mr.. Bardsley was then con-
Quoted to private room! !svhere he held
a long consultation with Mr.. Alexan-
der, his counsel Shortly after Judge
Wilson entered and took his seat upon
the bench. The ex-treasurer was
brought into the room, being seated
near the head of the lawyers table, at
his counsels side. At no time did the
celebrated prisoner raise his head from
his hands during the argument of his
counsel.
District-Attorney Graham then rose,
and addressing the court said that as
this was the last day of the court term,
he desired that the Bardsley case should
be disposed of, and was unwilling that
it should go over until fall. Before
moving for sentence wish to explain
some of the items in Mr. Rardslev's re-
cent statement" The district attorney
went over the items and concluded by
saying that there was upwards of $780,
600 misused or misappropriated in addi-
ton to the 1926, 600 that went into the
keystone bank.
Judge Wilson then arose and COM
manded the prisoner to stand up and
proceeded to pass sentence on him. He
was sentenced to an imprisonment of
fifteen years in the Eastern peniten-
tiary, and also to pay fine equal to
the amount of the embezzlemcnt to
which he had pleaded guilty.
Lawyer Alexander said it would be
shown within six months who did get
the money. His client should not APP
pear before the investigating commit
tee, but would give any information to
the district attorney. s
Judge Wilson in passing sentence re-
ferred to his friendship with Mr.. Bards-
ley in feeling terms However, he
could find no excuse for the prisoner,
his offense was more censurable on ac-
count of his official position. Bardsley
seemed much moved as the judge pro-
