OUR WHEAT ENTERS FREE.

/ Our Cereals in Return tor our
Bept Sugar.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE following
despatch was received from Washing
ton tonight at too late an hour to per-
NIT the making of the necessary in
Iquiries to obtain an official confirma-
tion of it.
The Government of the United
States has just concluded convention
with Germany, through the German
Minister here, by which all our cereal
crops will be admitted into the Ger
man Empire free of duty, in consider
alton of continued free admission into
the United States of German best
sugar after January /, which, under
recent law the President could then
stop.
This year the wheat crop of all the
German States except Prussia, is very
poor, and the rye crop is a failure
throughout Germany. The present
rate of duty on wheat imported into
Germany is 33 is cents per bushel of
sixty pounds.

We are informed that Joseph Butler,
who was nominated for Assembly for
the First District of this county by the
Prohibitionists. has been prevailed
upon to accept the nomination, Mr..
Butler is an upright, christian gentle.
man. His unwise course, however, in
jeopardizing the chances of the only
temperance man who can possibly be
elected, will be seen later on. If the
temperance voteo this district is given
to WILDER H. Baxter, who is justly en-
titled to it, he will without doubt be
elected. Mr.. Butler at the most can
poll but small minority of the votes
of the district. Why then waste them.
Temperance men vote for Baxter and
you will not regret your course after

stolen, he next saw them at the May

the same morning of the robbery. The
goods were valued at ten dollars.
Constable W. II. Nickerson was
quite an important character in this

which the roof led was the chamber
occupied by Wilson. Joshua had not
been home all night.
Mrs Laura Franklin, wife of the
preceding witness, gave testimony en-
tirely corroborative to that of Mr..

Jeremiah Wilson, a boarder at the

as that of Mr.. and Mrs. franklin.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
Mother and Daughter Meet After
Years Of Separation.
PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES
Attending the Reunton-The Mother
in the Penitenttary Under an
Unjust scntence...A Story
Filled withROmance.

1SDrANAroLls, IND,, March ga re
markable meeting, after twenty years'
separation, occurred at the city prison
here yesterday between mother, a lie
convict, and her daughter, a resident Of
St. Louis.
In January, 1870, Mary A. Adams wss
tried in the Jennings county oircuit
Court on the charge Of poisoning her
husband. She was sent to the woman's
prison to serve life gentence, and her
family Of children were scattered. ot
the children several were by previous
marriage, and one Of these was Emma,
who at the time her mother was con.
victed was Eve years old. She was
adopted by a family who moved to Mis-.
souri,. Emmagre 10 womanhood with.
out knowledge Of her parents, regarding
both dead. In time she married and
made her home in st. Louis. A few
days ago she returned to this State 10
attend the funeral Of sister in Bethle-
hem county, and there she learned her
mothers fate.
Without delay Emma came to this
city and went direct to the woman'a
prison where she asked to see Mrs.
Adams. A woman with sorrow marked
on every feature and q form bent with
age was pointed out to her. Emma
sitting her emotion approached the
prisoner and with trembling voice asked:
A ra vot, Mra A1onahW
"Yes," replied the prisoner, "but who
are your"
81 am Emma, mother-your little
Emma. Don't you remember me-"
In an instant they were clasped in
each others arms. The sobbing of the
two women deeply affected all who wit
messed the scene. The mother continu.
ally patted the daughter on the shoulder,
crying:
"oh, my Emma, my little baby girl"
Alter the meeting the daughter went
at once 10 Governor Hovey, and throw
ing herself on her knees, prayed for her
mothers pardon. To her joy she learned
her prayer had been anticipated, for
Mrs. Adams' pardon had been long
pending, and the night before the Gov
ernor had decided to issue the order for
the woman's release.
In the afternoon Mrs. Adams became
free woman and left last evening for
st. Louis, where she will have home
with her daughter. The pending Pc
tition for pardon had been signed BY
county officials and the Judge who tried
the woman, the prosecutors and other
influential citizens, among them the late
Judge Berkshire, Of the Supreme bench.
There had always been doubt about
the justice Of the verdict.
