JUDGE NoRMILE KILLS HIMSELF.
The st. Louis Post Dispatch" Had
Exposed the Corruption Of the Court.

The st. Louis "Post- Dispatch" Had
Exposed the Corruption Of tho Court.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9.-Judge J. C. Normile,
of the criminal court, who recently
brought suit against the Post Dispatch for
$500, 1000 and who had its three directors
arrested on charge of criminal libel, COM
mitted suicide this morning with poison.
Judge Normile was on the stand all day
yesterday. undergoing examination in the
pending suit of his against the paper.
After his suicide note was found in his
writing, stating he had only this morning
determined not to kill the editor who
libeled him as he preferred suicide to MUIR
der. Much sympathy is felt for the
deceased.
The Post -Dispdtch has for months waged re-
lentless war on Judge Normile. The following
appeared in the editorial columns of the Post
Dispatch last Thursday:
In turning the searchlight of investigation on
the mess OF political corruption feeding upon
this municipality the Post Dispatch has two OBJ
jects in view. One is to vindicare its own posi-
ton and work and the other is to lay the found
alton for the publication of tho administration
by ballot and for the radical reform of methods
under which public abuses have been heaped
MP beyond the point OF endurance. The Post.
DispGtchs fight Is the peoples fight.
An ardent desire to give pleasing turn to an
unpleasant predicament OF his pomposity of the
four courts and at the same time afford in
creasd delight to section of the seaside public
by giving them an Apollo, enlarged, decorated
and fitted with all modern improvements, led
US to offer to compromise that libel suit with a
gift of pretty red bathing suit. Further con.
sideratiOn convinces us that our liberality was
as useless as it was excessive The offer is with
drawn, but In order that wounded vanity may
not be without balm nor the gloom of disap-
pointment be untouched by brightness, we are
willing to offer nice speckled sash and pair of
black aud tan shoes. That's the limit.

CARLISLE ON FREE SILVER.

He Favors . Coinage Measure to Benefit
the People, Not Mine Owners.
WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. Ex-senator Car
Isle has addressed letter to John A.
Line, of Henderson, in answer to the ques-
tion whether the senator has heretofore
been in favor of the free coinage of silver,
and whether his views on the subject have
undergone any change. Senator Carlisle
says:
The answer to your ques ton depends largely
upon what you mean by free coinage of silver.
If you mean the policy urged by many, under
which the United States government would be
compelled by law to receive 60 cents worth of
silver bullion, when presented by the owner,
and coin 1t ut its expense and compel the PEG.
pie by law to accept the coin as an equivalent OF
100 cents, my answer is that am not now and
never have been in favor of it. l new stand
where my lamented predecessor, Mr. Beck, and
/ stood together in 1878, when the so-called
Bland-Allson bill was passed by congress. It is
my opinion that the declaration made upon the
subject by the Democratic party In its recent
national party convention was perfectly sound
in principle and enunciates the only true public
policy.
In conclusion the senator says that he
will support any measure that will fully
remonetize silver and insure the equality
of dollars coined from the two metals.

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.

Dry Heat shrinks Grain and Blights
Potatoes-Aphis on Sour Apple Trees.
OLYMPIA, Aug. 9.-The dry, hot weather
in Western Washington has continued
throughout the week. 1t has been excel
lent for the harvesting operations that
have been carried on daily. Hay is all in
and is generally abundant and in many
localities of excellent quality. All small
grains have ripened well and the harvest
is in progress in nearly all sections. The
yield, with very few exceptions, is large.
The week has been rather dry for
late potatoes. The general report Of
the potato crop is not favorable. The
blight on early potatoes is spreading.
This is true more especially Of western
Chehalis, Wahkiakum and jefferson
counties; and the blight is appearing in
other counties. In Wahkiakum county it
is thought that not more than half crop
will be secured. Reports from San Juan,
Skagit and Kitsap counties state that the
green aphis is increasing, though it may
be checked by spraying. 1t is most nu-
merous on some apple trees. Hops con-
tinue to do well whore sprayed. They are
in blossom in King county.
The weather in Eastern Washington has
been extremely warm during the entire
week. There has been no rainfall except
very slight sprinkles on the evenings of
the 81 and 9Th. The nights have been
cool; slight frost, even, is reported in the
northern portion of Whitman county on
the morning of the ID. While the grain
is too far along to be damaged seriously by
this weeks high temperature, the berry
has been more or less shrunken oy the
hot, dry air. In WalIa Walla, Columbia
and Garfield counties the grain was too
near ripe for this to amount to much. The
effect was more perceptible in the Palouse
country, and in the northern counties east
Of h ittitas. In Stevens and Spokane
counties graf has matured too rapidly.
and harvesting is in full pro.
gress. Threshng will begin the
present week. In Douglas county thresh-
ing is about done. About half a crop is
secured except in the western part, where
better yield is assured. In Kittitas and
Yakima grain has rlpened well and is be-
ing harvested rapidly, with excellent re.
suits. The water supply is getting verv
low in many sections Of the eastern coun-
ties. Pastures ara becoming very short
and there is no feed for stock except in
hay fields where hay has been cut. Fruit
and potatoes are doing fairly well, though
there is too little moisture for the latter.
and the sphis is damaging apples to some
extent. especially in Spokane county.

SCM.s, Aug. Especial. The shingle
mill at Eyerson, owned by Hardness Bros.

DE COBAIN A REVIVALIST.
The Irish Leper Calling Brooklyn Sim
ners to Repentance.


NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The Herald today
says: In little shabby tent in vacant
lot in South Brooklyn a revival meeting
was held last evening, at which the listen
ers were excited by the stirring eloquence
of q preacher who is either one of the
wickedest men in America or the most
sinned against and most martyred on the
face of the earth. None of the little band
of Methodists suspected the mans iden-
tity. The preacher was Edward De Cobain,
who for more than year has been exiled
from the United Kingdom with the foulest
charge that can be made against man
hanging over his head. He was member
of parliament for Belfast City, where he
was we'll known and respected at the be-
ginning Of 1891. Mr.. De Cobain is living
in New York. He has addressed several
meetings of Methodists in this city, he
said, but had appeared at none in Brook
lyn until last evening, when he walked
into the tent at Fifty-eighth street and
Third avenue, South Brooklyn. To q re-
porter De Cobain said:
Iswear to you before my maker that am in.
nocent OF the crimes with which am charged.
/ am preparing papers to prove my case, and
think can absolutely demonstrate my fnno.
cence. The fact can be proven that both men
who made afidavits were in the pay of the Bel
fast police. The Irish police are the tools of the
ministry In power. My position In parliament
was wanted by q rich man who thought he
would like the prestige of 1t. I have letter
from him offering to pay my expenses If / would
retire in his favor.
tDe Coban was Tory and bitter enemy Of
home rule. His guilt was so conclusively
proven that he dared not return to Belfast to
stand trial, nor did he venture to make any de-.
tense before the house of commons, which ex-
pallad him

Tho Chinese Minister In Disgrace.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 9.-Itis learned
that the present Chinese minister to this
country will be relieved from his mission
in the next month or two and his place
filled by the appointment most probably
of Mr.. Shut, formerly secretary of the
legation here and now holding place un-
der his government in China. The al
legged reason for the change is that the
emperor of China is much displeased with
the course of Tsin in an alleged trans
action looking to the establishment Of an
international bank in China, and as the
result OF information sent from this coun-
try to Chinese officials calling their atten-
ton to publications in the papers recit-
ing those facts, the emperor has ordered an
investigation into the matter.
