citizen, was rendered a reception at the
clubs rooms last Saturday night. Selec-
tions OF "a musical and literary nature
were rendered bv members of the Falstaff
Club aud very enjoyable time was
held. The only interruptions during the
festivities were attempts to capture the
newly made voter by members of the
Republican and Democratic party re-
spectively, they thinking him prohibi-
tionist and frequent inquiries were made
as to whether he would support Blaine.

A RAILROAD ESTIMATE.
Northwestern Lines Figuring on Amount
of Grain Raised This Year.

Northwestern Lines Figuring on Amount
of Grain Raised This Year.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 16.-While the har-
vest this year will not be as heavy as
last there is every Indication that its
actual magnitude will be something
tremendous. The Northern Pacific and
Great Northern have kept posted on the
condition of the crop in their re-
spective territories and are rapidly maxi
ing preparations for hauling an immense
amount Of grain. The other roads run
ming out of st. Paul have not kept them
selves SO thoroughly informed but the
reports from all the Offices are to the eff
feet that the crop is heavy, well adj
vanced and very little damaged by
storms. In the extensive grain coun-
tries penetrated by the Great Western
in the Southwest the wheat harvest is
nearly over and the crop is very heavy.
The Omaha also makes similar reports
regarding the crop conditions in its ter
ritory. Mr.. Woodr uff, of the general
freight agents Office of the Northern
Pacific, has devoted his attention ex-
clusively to crop conditions during the
past few weeks and speaks very en-
Enthusiastically of the outlook.
In North Dakota the yield will be
abundant. In some sections damage has
been done by storms but the cases are
isolated, and when compared with the
entire crop are but as so many drops in
the ocean. OF course the alarnlist is to
be found everywhere, and Mr.. Wood
ruff has not escaped his attentions.
This individual is always looking for
early frosts and is always sure that every
wind storm will blow the grain out of
the ground, and when he reaps twenty
bushels to the acre he begins to specu-
late on some panic in the grain market
which will rob him of legitimate price
for his crop. The only serious damage
done in North Dakota was by the storm
of last week. In two or three counties
the terrific winds and heavy rains beat
the grain down so that it is hardly pos
sible to run the harvesters and binders
through it.
Another adverse circumstance is the
prevailing intense heat. Mr.. Woodruff
declares that its effect on the cattle is
overpowering and even the reapers are
scarcely able to stand it. While the
crop will be largo the losses to live
stock in consequence of the heat will
tend largely to reduce the profits de-
rived therefrom.
The Great Northern reports a very
similar condition of things, their system
being practically parallel to the North
ern Pacific through the Dakotas.
Neither company will undertake to fur
nish an exact estimate of the crop, but
both agree that it will scarcely be less
than 70 per cent. of last years.

switchmen Employed by the New York
Central at Buffalo Quit Work.
BUFFALO, Aug. 16.-The switchmen
employed in the yards of the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg road went out
again at OPP. M, but returned to work
again at midnight after receiving notice
from the officials that their demands
would be granted. At the meeting of
the Switchmen's local union it was de-
cided to cali out the New York Central
switchmen at midnight and promptly at
that hour about $50 Central men quietly
quit work. They will not interfere with
the running of passenger trains but
promise to make it warm for those who
try to fill their places in the freight
yards. 1t was also decided to instruct
men employed by connecting lines to
refuse to handle Erie, Lehigh Valley
and Central freight. More militiamen
will be here by morning. Mr.. Webb,
of the New York Central, retired to his
private car after hearing the decision.
He refused to be interviewed. Promi-
nent railroad men here say the strike
will develop into very serious affair if
connecting lines receive freight from

The Ex-senator Will Be Nominated for

MILWAUKEE, Aug. l6.-The slate has
won. John G. Spooner will be nomin=
ated for governor by the Republican
state convention. General Griffin was
the first Of his opponents to withdraw
and Colonel w. U. Upham has an
nounced his surrender also. The Mil
waukee candidates who have been men
toned have all been disposed of and
Spooner has clear field. The announce.
ment was the result Of long conference
in which Senator Spooner, Colonel Up.
ham and General Griffin participated.
The result Of the conference is plainly
seen in renewed claims for the ex-sen-
ator and the only uprising now seems to
be in the Upham ranks, They declared
that their candidate would not fly the
track for any of the bosses except Sen.
ator Sawyer. Upham's friends claim
f5e votes sure and think that he has a

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Superinten-
dent Porter, in an address he prepared
for delivery at Asbury Park, makes pub
lie the preliminary figures of church
statistics of the eleventh census, which
are both curious and interesting. There
are shown to be in the United States
nearly 100 separate and distinct church
organizations holding widely different
creeds. They vary greatly in practice
and represent all possible variations of
church policy. Some of the denomina-
tons were never numbered before and it
required the utmost powers Of persua-
sion to induce them to submit to the
process. Sects have been found and
enumerated who claim less than 100

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 15.-The
East Tennessee miners are again seeking
vengeance. About 8 a. m. 800 men,
mostly armed, marched into Inman,
little mining town in Sequatchie valley.
The mob Of vengeance seekers went to
the coal mines and captured the seven:
teen guards, marched them to the stock.
AIDES and put them under guard. The
gig convicts who were at work were
then taken to Victoria, little village
near by, packed in box cars and started
to Nashville. Governor Buchanan, on
hearing of the affair, telegraphed the
sheriff of Marion county to summon
posse and prevent the burning of stock
AIDES. If further trouble ensues the gov
ernor says he will order the militia.
A mob cf miners returned 20 the
stockades during the afternoon and with
axes destroyed one side of the barricada
and all the buildings. When they left
a sheriff's posse took charge and will
probably prevent further damage.
