4 PUT UP JOE.
h Decision of the Supreme Court in
the B~oyd-Thayer Contest.

II DOyu-A mayer contest.
CHICAGO, May ia dispatch from
Omaha says: A bombshell has been ex-
ploded in political circles by official an
nouncement that the verdict in the Boyd
Thayer contest case was rendered by the
supreme court without discussion cf the
issues and the merits of the case by the
judges of the court. Never, during the
entire proceedings, was there a confer
ence held at which Judge Maxwell was
permitted to express his views or inter-
change views with his colleagues. Judge
Cobb was out of the state several weeks,
and Norval, the youngest man on the
bench, is the ostensible author of the ma
jority opinion to which Judge Cobb ap-
pended his name after a private consul
tation in which the Oldest justice on the
supreme bench was entirely ignored.
Immediately after the opinions were filed
Judge Cobb left the court room with
Governor Ihayer, John L. Web
ster and Judge Mason. He went
to the clerks office and
ordered a writ issued without the consent
of his associates. When Judge Maxwell
learned that a writ of custer had been
surreptitiously issued, ne Indignantly
characterized the proceedings as beneath
the dignity of the court. He cited a rule
of the court that the defendant had a
right to his motion for a reeharing and
that in no event could any writ be issued
inside Of forty days, unless by express
order Of the court. Norval agreed With
Maxwell that the proceeding on the part
of the chief justice was irregular and in
violation of the rule of the court, yet he
did not join with Maxwell for the recall
of the writ. That Boyd's summary tax
ing off was preconcerted is proved by the
fact that Penitentiary Contractor Mosier
was on hand in the capitol an hour before
the decision was rendered and promptly
presented himself to sign Thayer's bond.
This will constitute the chief plea in the
appeal to the United States supreme
court by Boyd.

WHEAT.
The Government Report of the Condition
OH tho Isl of May.

The Government Report of the Condition
OH tho Isl of May.
WASHINGTON, May l2.-The condition
of winter gram on the first day of May is
reported Ivy the statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture as follows: Wheat
97.9. This is an advance in wheat of one
point during April. A gain in wheat
is reported in New York in some of the
southern. states, in Michigan and a slight
improvement in Illinois, Missouri and
some other states. The uniformity of
the condition is somewhat remarkable,
no state average being lower than SO.
The condition of sowing lands is also
high, averaging 81, ranging from 80 to
100. The average for spring pasture is
SO, ranging from 80 to 100, except a drop
in Utah to 80. and in New Mexico to SO.
The eastern slope of the Rocky mountains
comes within four or five points
of the full condition, and the Pacific
coast is near the maximum. The prog
ress of spring blowing is greatly retard-
ed by an excess of moisture in the CEN
trail and southern belts. The proportion
planted IS reported at 68.8 per cent. The
average of several previous years has
been " per cent. Eastern states report
favorable conditions for spring work and
fair progress to date. In all southern
states it has been delayed by heavy rains
and later by drought, which has rem
dered blowing difficult and Imperfect. In
the Ohio valley an excess of moisture de-
layeG blowing through March and inter-
fered with it's progress in some places
during the first two weeks of April.
Work has progressed rapidly since and
the termination has generally been
prompt. In the northwest the season
has been generally favorable, spring
work is we'll advanced and spring grain
is coming up and growing finely. In
vestigation has been made of the effects
of the frost on the 9Th and 9Th of May.
kilograms have been received from state
agents, showing that very general dam
age has resulted to strawberries
and early vegetables, some injury to
grapes and cherries and peaches to some
extent. In the east and north it was
too early to injure the apples and pears.
In the Ohio valley it is thought it may
cause the dropping of the growing fruit.
The fruit belt of western Michigan is
said to have received little injury, though
the damage has been serious, especially
to small fruits and vegetables, in other
parts Of Michigan. Nearly all unite IN
saying that no injury to growing crops
occurred. A brisk wind and dry air ia
vored the New Jersey orchards, and the
loss of peaches and apples will:
not be 80 serious as feared. The Mary
land agent reports the loss Of the straw
berries and early vegetables, with no in
jury to grain and none to apples, peaches
Or plums is mentioned. The damage to
the peackgbelt is apparently not SO seri-
ous as f reported.

The italian Consul at New Orleans
Addresses an Insulting Letter
g.. . -- to the
Foreman OF the Grand Jury, roast.
ing the Jury, the Mayor and the
Committee of Fifty.
The Mayor and City Council Will
Probably Ask for the Con-
sul's Recall.
Insults From the italian Consul,

New ORLEANS, May 9.-On the 9Th
inst. M. Corte, the Italian consul in this
city, addressed a communication to W.
S. Chaffee, foreman of the grand jury,
charging, among other things, that "the
extra judicial body appointed oy the
mayor when the killing of the prisoners,
the same body assembled on the night of
the 18th of March to take, in cold blood,
the necessary steps to kill, for political
purposes, their defenseless, but fearful,
a~dversaries," etc. The above statement
has given to the mayor Of the city the
greatest possible offense. The extra :iu-
dicial body, to which reference is made
in the consul's official communication, is
none other than the famous committee of
fifty, appointed by his honor Immediate
ly afcer the killing of Chief Hennessy, to
investigate and bring the guilty parties
to justice. That they should be charac-
terized as a murderous body for political
purposes and so created by the mayor of
the city, has occasioned the greatest in
dignation in municipal circles. One of
the results Of the letter has been that the
committee of fifty have already co
menced the preparation of a report whic
will give in detail their connection
with the necessary investigation, the
work accomplished by them
and the results of their appointment.
This report will be submitted to the
mayor and council at their meeting Tues
day night, and upon the basis of their re-
port the mayor will take the necessary
action leading to the recall of the italian
consul at this port. Corte has given ex-
preston to a great deal of offensive Ian
guage since the incident of the 18th of
March last, but his honor has not seen fit
to notice it, because of it's appearance
only in the form of interviews through
the public press. In the present ILL.,
stance, however. he reiterates all the
charges previously made, in the man.
ner stated above, over his own
signature; so that nothing
remains for the municipal
j.. authorities to do but take steps towards
securing his recall. The foreman of the
grand jury called on Mayor Shakespeare
to-day, and while it is not possible to as
certain just what TRANSFERRED in the con-
ference, it is certain, nevertheless that
the visit has reference to the consul's
letter. The grand jury, 1t is understood,
are at present engaged in a reply to that
communication, and it is stated it will be
ready for the press by Wednesday.

Four Men Instantly Killed by a Gas Ex-
piosion.
CLARKsBuRG, w. Va, May This
morning about Z o'clock, at the Ocean
coal mines, two miles northeast of this
city, owned by Wilson, Black & Sheri-
den, a terrific explosion of gas occurred.
The report was heard for many miles and
brought a throng of people from all the
surrounding country in the vicinity of
the disaster. Fourteen men had de-
scended into the mine and about forty
more were descending when the catas-
trophe took place. When the explosion
occurred two great clouds of smoke and
a large volume of water we're forced from
the two entrances to the mine, located
about 1000 feet apart, and there was no
idea that any of the men would come out
alive, but the rescuing party decided to
start iuto the mine, and five men we're
gotten out alive; the other four-George
Feather, VIM. Dougherty, Nathan Gains
and Chas. Welch-were all instantly
killed. Feathers body was recovered
through a rush made by the rescl1ers,b but
the others could not be reached. The
mine at once took fire and is burning fu-
riously. There is no hope of obtaining
the bodies. If the explosion had oc-
CURED a few minutes later, forty lives
would have been sacrificed.

The Western Farm Mortgage Company of

ABERDEEN, S. D., May 9.-The West
ern Farm Mortgage company. one of the
Oldest loaning companies in this vicinity,
has assigned to It's secretary and treas
urer, J. 7. Brown, of this city. The COM
pany's authorized capital is $25O,OOO,
over $236,O00 of which was paid in. Its
stockholders reside largely in New York
and Michigan. DR.. j. G. Wilson of
Flint, Mich, is president; G H. Phelps
of New York, first vice-president, and
Hon. j. A. Blanchard of New York,
counsellor. President Wilson said: 1--WE
shall proceed at once to take inventory
and determine exactly how we stand.
Our assets are much greater than our H.
abilities and every dollar will be paid.
Eastern holders of securities must sim
ply wait until the times improve.
The company has been careful in it's
transactions and it's loans will compare
favorably with those of other organic
atoms of the kind. By assigning, the
assets have been saved, litigation pre-
vented and no preferences shown. Our
trouble is not a disastrous failure, or
anything approaching it. We guaranteed
the mortgage holders their interest and
have been advancing money for the last
two years. Everything has been kept up
until the first of the coming month, but
WI can't do it any longer. We shall be
able to pay all Indebtedness and part of
the capital stock" There is no Feeling
that the assignment is due to poor man
agement or anything of the like charac-
ter.
