TORONTO, Nov. 21.-Tbe report of the
bureau of INDUSTRIES shows the yield of
grain in Ontario this year is extraordina-
rily large. Wheat and oats are far above
the average. The crop of wheat, spring
and fall, is estimated at 30, 5S4O26 bush

OF $780, The oat crop exceeds that of last
year by more than q, 600, 900 bushels. while
the average per acre is the highest in ten
years. The root crops are enormous, but
potatoes are much damaged by rot. The
acreage of barley sown is 148000 less than
last year, yet the crop is 541, 1877 bushels
larger, owing to the great yield. The acre
age soWn in fall wheat this fall is 10 per

Special TO The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DISPATCH.
New YORK, Nov. 21.-Mr. r. Trumbull,
of Chilli, arrived in this city from Los An
geles, Cal, yesterday. In regard to Admi-
raj Browns explanations of his actions
during the war, Mr.. Trumbull said: cit is
undoubtedly true that every one in Valpa-
raise knew that the insurgent feet was at
Quintero, but no one knew they had made
a landing there. Some one of Admiral
Browns crew gave the information at VAL
paraiso. was SO telegraphed TO Santiago
Admiral Brown seems to have been very
ignorant of what was going on He has
certainly given no satisfactory reason for
his going up to Quintero. None of the
other warships stationed at Valparaiso
thought it necessary. The American citi-
zens in Valparaiso all condemned Admiral
Browns acUion, and some of them pro-
tested to the American consul, who re-
piled that an American admiral had right
to go where he id pleased" Mr.. Trum-
bull said that he would return by the next
vessel to VALPARAISO.

A GAMBLER BEATEN
John StetsOn Made to DisgOrge
His Winnings.
Mrs. Anna B. Everett Receivers Under an Old
Massachusetts Law Giving Anyone Right
to sue for Money Lost at Gaming.

Special to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
Boston, Nov. 21.-John Stetson, banker,
broker and theatrical manager, to-day paid
to Mrs. Anna B. Everett $4,000 and thus
settled one of the most remarkable cases
ever tried before Massachusetts court
Mrs. Everett claimed that Mr. Stetson
was proprietor of swell gambling club
known as the Carlton. On the night of
November 3, 1889, Jonathan Bourne, r., of
New Bedford, son of the late millionaire
mill owner, bucked the tiger at the Carlton
club and lost $50, 900 at one sitting. He was
drunk at the time and played recklessly
He gave his notes to cover his losses, and
then
KICKED ABOUT PAYING THEM.
After he had sobered off, to keep the mat
ter quiet, he compromised by paying S16,-
GOO. One of Stetson'S clerks, George Ev-
erett, knew of this incident and used it to
good advantage, for when he was arrested
on the charge of embezZlement he alleged
that Mr.. Stetson wanted to get rid of him
that he might not see too much of what was
done at the Carlton. There were fifty six
counts in the indictment, and the jury de-
clared him not gullty.oni hfty-three of them
and disagreed as to the other three. Then
the case was placed on the docket for a new
trial. Then Everett's wife went to his
rescue in novel way.
THERE Is AN OLD LAW IN MASSACHUSETTS
which gives to any person the right to sue
for money lost at gaming by any other
| person, provided the loser does bring
suit within three months. In case of re-
covery, the plaintiff is to receive three
times the amount lost. Mrs. Everett i'm
Hlediately sued Mr.. Stetson to recover
SOL, 900, which is three times the amount
Bourne lost at gambling, including inter
est. Mr.. Bourne was not party to this
suit. He would have given that sum to
have the matter quieted, but Mrs. Everett
had twofold object in view and would not
abandon her case. Mr.. Bourne thereupon
departed for Oregon and is there now. The
case was brought into court, and Mrs. Ev-
erett was in fear OF losing it on her origi-
nal declaration,
BUT SHE DISCOVERED NEW EVIDENCE,
which, it is alleged, proved conclusively
| that Mr.. Stetson was proprietor of the
! club, and also that Mr.. Bourne lost at
gambling the sum named. The defendant
| evidently did not care to have that evil
! deace go before the court, and Thursday
he offered TO compromise. Mrs. Everett
refused to licten to any talk of compro-
mise until the criminal charge against her
husband was withdrawn. To-day at O'Clock
the case was nolle pressed, and few min
utes later Mr.. Stetson's lawyer paid to
Mrs. Everett $50, 600 in cash.
