Comes Up.
sreeaal Correspondence Of The .I~ate7igs'es
HuNr1xerox, w. yAs Nov suit
in chancery has been brought bysthe
Kenova Land Development Co. against
the owners OF the Kellogg powder mill,
the object being to compel its removal
as a nuisance. There have been half a
dozen destructive explosions at these
works, and anumber OF lives lost. The
land company own the adjacent terri.
tory, and, several years ago,laid 1t all
offin town lots. But, in consequence
OF the presence OF the powder mill, the
lots remain unsold. The land company
at one time offered the powder cor pany
ten thousand dollars and a location in a
hollow a mile and n half distant, in
consideration OF removal. This offer
was refused, and after each explosion
the mill has been rebuilt upon its for
mer site. It is said to bel very profta-
BILE concern netting q profit OF 500 per
day while in operation. A stubborn
fight is expected upon both sides. Mar
cum, Peyton & Marcum, Campbell d
Holt and W. R. Thompson represent
the land company.

Bat the Floods Did N1t COme-Tho Ex-
pOrImsnts In Texas.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Nov. 2L-The ex-
periments at rain-making which were
begun here Friday by R. G. Dryenfurth
and party were kept up until 3 o'clock
Saturday morning with results, which,
though not SO successful as they might
have been, were sufficient to demon
strate that the theory OF producing rain
be means Of conclusion is q correct
one.
When the work OF bombarding began
at 5 o'clock last evening, n few clouds
hung overhead and in the southeastern
and western portion there were banks
Of thunderheads piled up. BY o'clock
the heavens were cleared, and loon
and stars shone brightly. Eight hydro
| gen-oxygen balloons were sent up dur
ing the night at intervals of every 40
minutes. These balloons rose to a
height of from 1000 to 1000 feet, where
they exploded with terrific force, the
conclusion being felt for several miles
around.
The banks of clouds in the southeast
horizon began to move upward by IL
o'clock, and being propelled by strong
wind from that quarter, the heavens
we're soon overcast. 1t was - o'clock
when a particularly ominous cloud
came up and was soon directly over
head. One OF the ETHEREAL monsters
was let go, with a fuse timed at two
minutes, The balloon contained 1000
cubic feet Of hydrogen-oxygen, and
arose almost perpendicularly to a
height of 5000 feet when it exploded in
the very center Of the cloud.
A slight sprinkling rain had begun to
fall a few minutes before, but the bal
looms explosion was followed by a
drenching downpour, which, however,
lasted but a few minutes, when a slow
drizzle set in and was kept up until
four o'clock this morning. In addition
to the balloons about 1000 pounds OF
roselite were exploded on the ground
and $50 shells in midair.
The wind during the time when ex-
periments were in progress was blowing
a gale from the southeast, and as it has
never been known to rain before here
with the wind from that quarter, the
old inhabitants give General Dryepfurth
and party credit for the slight fall last
night.
There were no experiments yesterday,
it having been decid ID to discontinue
operations until next Tuesday, when
ARRANGEMENTS will be completed for u
more extensive and thorough test.

Our Corn and Wheat.

The November crop report OF the
department of agriculture gives a more
correct estimate than any previous ono
of the chief cereal crops of the year.
Corn amounts to a little over 100000
900 bushels and wheat to 5OO.OOO,O0O
bushels, as against 1000, 900 bushels
Of corn and 6OO,0Oo,OO bushels OF wheat
in 1891. Last year was characterized
by the coincidence of a big crop here
and q short crop in Europe. This year
there was a lighter acreage. But we are
still leading the grain garden Of the
world, quality being considered as well
as quantity, and WI may long continue
so. Our enormous and comparatively
unknown territory of Alaska, for in
stance, ia said to include q large area OF
land we'll adapted to wheat culture.

Said to Have Occurred An This state-rhe
Victim Mt Pittsburgh.
PIr7sBuRaH, Nov. 27.-A mysterious
parsonage was brought to the West
Penn hospital yesterday from the noun.
tains of West Virginia. He was shot in
the leg there, and his two companions
hauled him fifteen miles on n handsled
down the mountain side to the nearest
physician. The curious thing about
the whole affair is that none OF the men
will divulge their names.
Their patient came into the city last
night on the through train on the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad. He was suffer
ing from a gun shot wound in his leg.
The bullet was fired from a SS'calibre
gun and passed through the member
lust above the knee and broke the bone.
The man claimed to be an oil driller.
He says his home is in Shousetown, on
tho Ohio river. According to the
meaere details he would give, he was
out cunning in the wilds Of West Vir-
ginia and shot himself. he says the
accident occurred Thanksgiving even
ing. The nature OF the wound makes
his story look very doubtful.
The men who brought him to the
hospital were as close-mouthcd as the
injured man. They gave the impress.
sion that they were from Shousetown.
They claimed to have hauled the man
fifteen miles on a handsled, SO he would
get medical aid.
The impression at the hospital is that
the fellow is a United States detective,
as well as his companions, and think he
was hunting moonshiners when the
illicit whisky manufacturers got the
drop on him.

henceforth be the field against Harrison,
and with four months time to crystallze
party sentiment it is reasonably safe to
assume that the Republicans will select o
new man to make the battle OF 1892.
Philadelphia Press (Rep.): Direct, mar
" and unmistakable, Mr.. Blaine's letter
leaves no question as to his intentions.
The plain voters of the country now de-
sire President Harrison's denomination.
Boston Journal (Rep.): Mr. Blaine's
letter is that of an honorable man, keen
" to the prOprieties of official etiquette.
He remains the most popular man in the
country.
Rochester Herald (Pp): Mr.. Blaines
decision leaves President Harrison alone
in the field but there are already rumors
of a movement to bring out Robert Liz
coin.
Philadelphia Inquirer (Rrp.): Until
Mr.. Blaine makes a more definite state
ment than is contained in his letter he
will still be factor in the coming con-
vention.
BinghamiOn Republican (Rp.): 1t re-
mains to be seen whether President HaI'
Iison possesses sufficient popular strength
to secure the denomination.
ST. Louis Globe. Democrat (Rep }: Mr..
Blame has withdrawn in time for other
candidates to be brought forward to COM
pare with Harrison.
Chicago Tribune (Rp): The letter is
final, we are sorry to say. All signs point
10 four years more of Benjamin Harrison.
PHILADELPHIA Ledger Ind. (Rep.): Mr..
Blame having Withdrawn, the nomina-
ton naturally goes to President Hsr'
risOn.
Hartford Cowant Rp.): The decision
is final. The plain people of the country
now want President Harrison renomin-
ated
N0c Haren Palladium (RP): Blaine is
out of the race and re has made Harrl'
sons denomination almost certain.
Troy Telegram (Rep.): From the stand
point OF party expediency, his retirement
IS a distinct and irretrieyable loss.
Utica Herald (Rp): Mr. Blaine's de
cision will cause profound regret to Re-
pullcans everywhere.
Springfield Republican (Ind Dem.) Ben
iamin Harrison will have to be nominated
for second term.
PiHsbmg Dispatch (Ind): Mr.. Blaine's
declination leaves President Harrison far
in the lead.
Philadelphia North american (Rp): The
race is now everybody's race.
Ne,r York Sun Dem.): In Mr.. Blaine's
case, as IN Mr.. Tllden's, the nomination
for President rested entirely upon the de-
cision of the great leader. Moreover, as
was true concerning Mr.. Tilden in 1880,
the nomination meant election.
We are free to say that IN our opinion
no candidate whom the Democracy can
name in June could have beaten Mr..
Blaine at the polls in November.

SENTENCE OF THE CONVICTED CHILIANs
WASHINGTON, Feb. g. Unofficial in
telligence has been received of the sentene
ing, at Valparaiso, of the men convicted
of participation in the assault on the Bal
timore sailors. Little surprise is expressed
at the mildness OF the punishment inflicted
Carlos Arena, alias Gomez, gets 92O
days imprisonment, which includes $40
days for sssaulting Turnbull, who died of
his wounds, 800 days for disorderly con-
duct, 60 days for carrying concealed
weapon and 20 days for giving false
name.
Jose Ahumada gets 800 days for bis
part in the assault on Turnbull, ana Fred
erico Rodriguez 140 days for woundng
Boatswain's Mate Riggln, the other muir
dered American.
AS stated in the report after the in
curry. it is claimed that Riggin died from
shot fred by a party unknown, and not
from the wound inflicted by Rodriguez.
However, the ChIlian law allows that
Higgins family may obtain damages from
Rodriguez as may TurnbulPs from Gomez
The department expects TO hear from
Minister Egan officially as to tie result OF
the finding IN the Baltimore's sailors as
ssult case. The sentences as contained
in the press dispatches are thought to be
quite light, and the fact that no one is
held responsible for Higgins death pro-
vokes some criticism in official circles.

Blaine to RESIGN.
From the Regular Correspondent OF The
n. Y Press.

From the Regular Correspondent OF The
n. Y. Press.
WASHINGTON, February 9.-Secretary
Blane's resignation from the Cabinet will,
after a reasonable interval, follow his
letter of withdrawal as Presidential
possibility.
For this statement The Press correspon
dent has authority second only TO that OF
Secretary Blaine himself.
Mr.. Blaine has reached a definite de-
termination to resign his commission as
Secretary Of State. Only the date at
which this action shall be taken remains
undetermined. Dir. Blame, if he follows
his personal inclination, would tender the
President bis resignation at once, hut he
realizes that such an act, following I'M
medlately upon his letter to Chairman
Clarkson, would be widely misinterpreted,
and would be construed by the opponents
of the Republican party either as an act
of piQue or as indicating serious differ
ences between the President ard his
premier.
Therefore Mr. Blaine will postpone his
resignation from the Cabinet until time
enough shall have elapsed to separate IN
the public mind that act from his an
nouncement that his name would not go
before the Republican National Conyen-
ton for the Presidential nomination.
TIE CAUsE PHYSICAL INABILITY.
The reason which Secretary Blaine will
give to the President for retiring from the
Cabinet will be that of physical inability
to continue to perform the arduous and
exacting duties of his present office. This
is, IN fact, the true reason for Mr. Blalne's
determination to withdraw entirely from
official life. Other motives may, and
doubtless will, be assigned by his critics
for his action, but it Will really he based
upon his precarious health.
The Baltimore Sun of Thursday says Sec
rotary Blaine has made an emphatic de-
NAL of the rumor that be was about to
resign from the cabinet.
