R1vERs1Dx, March 24.-George Hood,
young man about % years old, at
tempted suicide here this morning by,
shooting himself through the left breast

followed by Hood, who had them arrested
in Los Angeles on Sunday morning.
Hood induced his wife to return with him
to Riverside, Mrs. Stebbins, the aunt,

the young wife refused to comply with
their wishes, whereupon Hood pro-

are entertained for his recovery. His
wife is very penitent since the shooting,
and is doing all in her power to relieve

The Miller Brothers. Bowentown
diarymen, were driving up South
Laurel street, when the horse became
frightened in front of Garrison &
Minch's building and jumping ahead,
got out of the control of the driver
and started on mad run. When just
opposite VIM. E. Riley's gents furn-
ishing goods store, the Miller wagon
collided with a wagon on the street,
and the runaway was uddenly fetched

able to stop 50 suddenly. They
pitched head,tirst out of the wagon
in the slimy, deep, gravelly oyster
shell mud. The gentlemen were fol-
lowed by shower of milk, butter and
eggs. When the Messrs. Miller arose
from their muddy falling place they
were sights to behold. Both were
completely covered with the miser
able stuff. Their eggs were broken
and milk was spilled. The men went
into McPherson's undertaking estab-

the Borough TiOnble in Jer-

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 7-Since it has
been developed that one saloon keeper,
who wanted to continue in business,
caused all the troubles consequent
upon the lightning express repeal of
of the Borough act, there is deep in
dignation among the Democratic lead.
ers. AS will be remembered, the re-
pealer was rushed through to head off
an election at High Bridge, village in
Hunterdou county. T. Il. Mckinley
has the only hotel and saloon in the
village.
Mcdinley was told by lawyer that
when the village became borough a
renewal of his license would be pre-
vented, because a majority of the High
Bridgers were opposed to saloons
When Mckinley, thoroughly alarmed,
asked what could be done, he was ad-
vlsed to have the Borough law re-
pealed, so that the election would te
void. Acting quickly, McGinley got
the ear of Senator Everitt, and so
earnestly did he move that the ,e
pe,lsr vas put through. There is
now eve'y prospect of d row. and a

N. }. WEATHER SERVICE.
Value of the Weekly Weather
Crop Bulletin.

The following is an extract from the
Annual Report of the Board of Direct
ors of the New Jersey Weather Ser
vice:
1.-The most noticeable feature of the
work during the year, and one which
has heen most appreciated by the
farmers of the State, is the weekly
weather crop bulletin, which has been
issued regularly from the central Of
flee, every Saturday during the grow
ing season These bulletins contain
reliable reports from observers (mostly
farmers) in nearly all the agricultural
districts of the State, giving the pre-
vailing weather condition Of the week
and its effect on the growing crops.
The issue began with 800 copies, but
the demand was so great, that it rapid
ly increased to 1000, and even this
number did not supply the demand.
These bulletins were published by
nearly all the leading daily and week.
ly papers Of the State, and by the
great dailies of New York and Phila-
delphia; copies were also furnished by
request, to Boards of Trade in some of
the most prominent cities of the union
and in the British Provinces.
+. The benefit to the farmers of our
State, resulting from this publicity of
crop reports, cannot be measured by
dollars and cents. tits now impossible
for the sharp speculator to misrepre-
sent successfully the actual crop situa-
tion in order to depress temporarily
the prices until he can obtain posses
sion of large portions of salable crops.
The crop report is regulator OF the
market, which reduces to minimum
the effect of exaggeration, put forth to
cause fluctuations 10 market prices
A knowledge of crop conditions, to be
of any use to the farmer, must have
the widest publicity in the marts of
trade, as well as in the rural districts.
1t cannot annui the law of supply and
demand, but it can largely control the
temporary tixings of prices in violation
Of the law.
So the gentlemen, who undertook and
SO we'll and go faithfully discharged
their duties as crop weather observers
during the past season, we tender our
most sincere thanks and hope that
they will continue to co operate with
us during the coming season.

DR.. Glandon testified that he was
