WILL BIZ GRAND.
Reception of the Czarina and
Czarowitz by the French.
Without an Equal Since the
Days of Napoleon !.

The Trip TO TakO Place Immediately AT
ter the Conclusion of the Copenhagen
visit-Details of tho Imperial Itinerary
Not Yet ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for
Russian citizenship.
PARIS, Sept. s.-Recent correspond
ence between the czar and Baron de
Mohrenheim, the Russian ambassador
at Paris, makes it appear quite certain
that Immediately after the Copenhagen
visit is included, the czarina and the
czarowitz, escorted by an imposing Rus
sian squadron will proceed in the i'm
perial yacht to Cherbourgh. st. Peters
burg advices speak Of the French visit
as a thing absolutely settled, and the
news is received in this city with an en-
thusiasm which indicates the intention
of the French to eclipse the recent ex-
traordinary Constradt demonstration.
The details of the imperial itinerary
have not yet been divulged, but 1t is set
tied that the president Of the republic,
attended by the members OF the minis
try and the high officers of the army,
will receive the illustrious visitors at
Cherbourg and act as their escort to
Paris. It Is asserted that the imperial
progress from Cherbourg to the capital
and their reception at the latter place
will present scene of imposing grand
eur. such as has not been witnessed in
France since the days of Napoleon l.
The vigorous action of Russia in the
Dardanelles affair has famed into con-
suming flame the spirits of the war
party, and there is now tremendous
revival of the Russomania, which had
begun to subside somewhat when that
incident came to again lash it into fury
So intense is the feeling that it is de-
clared at the railway offices here that,
should the contemplated program of the
czarina and czarowitz be carried out, it
will be difficult problem to move the
vast crowds who will hasten to France
to greet the nations guests.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Sept. s.-A mob
was organized here among the white
people Sunday night, to lynch Scott, the
negro who killed Bill Childry four weeks

In New York the day was closely OBJ
served and business generally suspended.
Two parades We're on the program---one
by the Central Labor union and the
other by the Federation. An interesting
feature of the former display was the
number Of women who participated
the women being workers in city laun-
dries.

MIND O'ERTHROWN
THE QUESTION OF MISS ANNA DlOKISSON'S
INSANITY SETTLED.
Some Sensational Rumors About Her Being Psrss-
cuied By Fer Sister Sci at Rs.t-Shs Has De-
llsions and Refuses PoOd-Shs is
Now in a New York Retreat

SCRANTON, PA, April lO.-Miss
Susan +. Dickinson was in this city TO-
day in consultation with friends rela-
tive 10 the statements made by her sis
ter to a reporter I'm New York. Miss
Dickinson said she had this morning
telegraphed Dr. Seward that he would
be held in damages for the
injury he is doing her sis
ter's mind in confniRg her,
and also that friends in West PittSton
and vicinity will testify that she has de-
voted her life for years to the welfare
and interests of Anna. In denying the
story published in New York, Miss
Susan Dickinson first refers TO the
charge that removal was made
TO West, PittSton clearly to
please herself. The true reason OF
the removal, she says, was because Miss
Anna had lost the means 10 support her
mother as she desired TO in Philadel-
phia. My sisters allegations that |
have an intense hatred and jealousy for
her has never taken other form than
that OF striving to further her interests
10 the utmost OF my ability.
Miss Susan speaks OF Miss Anna'S vio-
lence toward her, and says that on Feb
ruary it became necessary to deliver
her sister 10 Danville because she had
eaten nothing FOR three days. She was
not roughly handled and her clothing
was not injured, as stated in all the
papers al the time her door was forced
open. Her papers have been carefully
preserved and they now await her dis
position.

LYNCH LAW IN OHIO.
A Prisoner Taken from the enton jail
and Hanged.


kESToN. o., April l0.-William Bales
who murdered Policeman Harper, on
Tuesday night Of last week, was taken
from the jail by mob OF about so men
at o'clock this morning and hanged Ia
tree nearby.
The mob gained entrance to the Jail by
breaking down the door. The noise
awakened sheriff Neville, who rushed
down stairs with a revolver. A dozen
men met him at the foot Of the stair, and
thrust four revo.yerS in his face, de-
manding the Jail keys. saying they
wanted to get Bales to hang him.
The sheriff refused to get the keys,
not having them with him. The mob
found the keys in an adjoining room,
opened the Jail doors, secured Bales, and
gave him only time to put on his pants
aud pair of slippers. They then took
him out and hanged him to a maple tree
on Wayne street, near North street,
about nifty yards from the Jail
The mob was well organized and all
wore black masks except one. which was
white, and was worn apparently by the
leader. Not more than twenty minutes
elapsed from the time the door was brok-
en- open till Bales was dangling between
earth and sky. He did not make
any outcry, and only groancd few
times while leaving the Jail cell. Senti-
nels guarded all approaches leading to
the Jail. Nobody was allowed to ap-
proach nearer than square. =
The mob dispersed as quickly and ST.
lent'y as 1t gathered, all going in differ
ent directions. Nobody saw the hang
ing except the lynchers. Some guarded
the Sheriff, while others stood on the
street corners and stopped pedestrians
from approaching. Who the mob were
and where they came from Is a mystery.

PREDICTS A BIG CROP.
Governor Burke Says This VIII BE Pros
porous Year In North Dakota.

ST. PAUL. April 1O.-GovernOr Burke,
Of North Dakota. In answer to ques-
tiOn as 10 the crop outlook in the State
Of which he is chief executive, said:
THE indications are the best for
seven years, and l believe the wheat
crop i'm North Dakota this year will be
the largest ever known there. The
present conditions are very similar 10
the spring OF lSS3, when they had big
crop. There is no dirt flying this year.
The farmers are waiting 10 get on the
ground. instead of the ground waiting
for the farmers. There is plenty OF
moisture. The Jim River country is in
good condition. Seeding has already
commenced in Ransom, Barnes and La
Moure counties. also in the country be-
tween jamestown and the Missouri
river. Ii will be quite general in the
Red River Valley and elsewhere by
Monday.
1T is difficult now 10 get at the acre
age rs compared with last year. II will
be an increase i'm the far west counties,
where the farmers are engaged in stock
raising. which | think will prove very
profitable. Thousands Of sheep have
been shipped in North Dakota in the
last six months. As to the all-arOund
conditions, as compared with last year,
will say at this time last season the
prospect was never poorer, and it has
not been better for the past seven years
than at present. North Dakota will be
very prosperous this season.

A Big Cattle Combine.

MONTREAL, April l0.-A few weeks
ago an American syndicate composed OF
Morris, OF Chicago, and Goldsmith, OF
New York, purchased 10000 distillery
cattle. An opposition syndicate com
posed OF MesSrs. Gould, of Chicago, and
Hathaway, OF Boston, have come into
the country and have purchased 10000
head of cattle, and are on the lookout
for more. The effect OF these deals has
been the crushing ont Of the small
Canadian exporters, and the placing Of
the trade in the hands OF few Amerl-
cans. The farmers here say they can
get better prices from buyers across the
line, and are consequently more willing
to do business with them. The cattle
will be shipped from the port giving
the cheapest frelghtS In Canada or the

ity with Canada Tariff Changes.

New YORK, April lO.-Senator Nor

thought of the prospects for Canadian
reciprocity.
They are not Aattering,' he said.
Reciprocity with Canada is undesirable.
We could not enter into such relations
on any article except coal with advant-
age 90 ourselves. We do not want 20
take OIL the duty on tbs horses and cat
lie and barley. The difficulty lies In
the desire % Canada 20 make no dis
elimination against England. IL they
were given the reciprocal relations with
those countries which some have asked
they would insist on the same with
England and England would derive the
benefit. With labor at one-nalf the
wages We pay, they would supply the
machinery and other duties on manu-
iactured goods and Canadian farmers
would send us their products, buying
little iu return. Sir John Macdonald
would MS soon put poison into his own

"Do You look FOR any changes in the

tious indicate that that the sentiment

ADril CrOp Returns.

WASHINGTON. April lO.-The April
returns to the Department OF Agricul-
ture make the condition OF winter wheat
9O.9, and OF rye 95 4. The season for
seeding was favorable over the whole
winter wheat area; the soil was general
ly easily worked; the Seedbed prepared
with unusual care and sowing followed
by rains sufficient to pack the earth and
insure prompt and perfect generation.
In portions of the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts the time OF seeding was some
what prolonged by occasional rains, but
the delay was not serious, and the de-
sired area was planted and in good
growth by the advent OF winter. Suit
able weather and soil conditions enabled
farmers Of the Ohio Valley States TO put
in full breadth under entirely favor

DEs MONIES, IA, April 10.-War be-
tween the Farmers Alliance is fore
shadowed in Iowa. The Iowa Homestead,
the leading agricultural paper in Iowa,
has turned its batteries loose upon the
Southern Farmers Alliance, devoting
over a page of its current number to
discussion OF the aims and methods OF
that body. The Homestead maintains
that the Southern Alliance is monopoliS-
tic in its methods; that it is dominated
by few men; that in the Macune trial
it tacitly indorsed the sell-out OF the
Georgia Alliance, and its official organ
to the Little Wizards attorney, Patrick
Calhoun. and that its chief aim is to
form a great cotton trust.

Yesterday morning about o'clock.
The accident occurred in this way:
Nutter, with some other hands, was at

along toward the saw Nutter noticed
the can, and fearing that the jar would
knock it of he attempted to remove II.
He put one hand on the plank, which
