CANNING CROPS WILL Be SHoRr-The recen
drought has seriously affected canning crops
IN the second district, where the bulk of the
canned goods product of Hartford is produced.
A prominent Gamer Of that district said in
Bel Air, on Monday, that this has been the
driest season in that section for twenty-five
years. Both corn and tomatoes have suffered,
the second crop Of blossoms on the latter hav-
ing dried up. Under the most favorable con-
ditions during the remainder of the season
these crops VIII be short Pastures have fall
ed and farmers have been obliged to feed their
stock almost as much as in winter. In addi-
ton to the probable small yield Of corn and
tomatoes, the acreage Of these crops, taken
together, is not above the average, so that
Hartford can not be relied on to produce her
usual quantity Of canned goods.

heavy. The president Immediately went

JACKSON, Ala, Aug. 1.-THE coun-
ties OF Clark, Cherokee, Wilcox and Ma

derous doings of the notorious Meacham-
ties and between 400 and 500 heavily
armed men are at Meachlmbet for
the avowed purpose of wiping

and avenging the murderous
wrongs perpetarated upon the people of
the counties named. The mechanics are
q lawiess gang who operated under the
guise of farmers. They have killed a
number of citizens who expressed the
opinion that the country ought to be rid
of them.
Some time ago the law-abiding citizens
organized, and killed a man named
James, leader of the Meachamites. Later
Kirk James and another member of the
gang was killed. The mechanics con-
tinued their depredations until the des-
perate citizens today organized a posse
and started to clean out the desperate
baud of outlaws.
LATER--Tooch Bedsoe, one Of the
Meacham gang, was captured tonight
after hard chase by the posse.
He confessed that Bob Burke killed John
Anderson and shot down Willis House,
and that James, the leader of the gang
killed Ernest McCorquadale for a large
sum of money and that James Gordan
killed Lem House, also that Captain
James Fortesque had been marked as the

The President Has Not Deserted Nor

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Herald's
Washington special says: A wild report
was circulated in Washington last night
to the effect that Cleveland would leave
and go to Buzzard's Bay today, because
he feels he is beaten in his effort to secure
the repeal of the Sherman act. The silver
men were radiant with JOY and declared
the President had abandoned his post and
surrendered the leadership which he as
sumed in his message. The simple truth
is, adds the correspondent, that q domes-
tic event in Cleveland's family will re-
quire him to be at the side of his wife
within seven days, and it is scarcely decent
politics to draw such delicate matters
MIR. Brown democrat, Indiana) fol-
lowed Raynor. He was IN favor of the
coinage OF silver, but in view OF the
havoc wrought by the Sherman law and
the demands of the Democratic platform.
he would vote for repeal with or without
conditions. In addition to repeating the
Sherman law the Democratic platform
promises to coin both gold and silver,
without discrimination against either.
That promise must be redeemed. He
said he would not attempt to speak for
the present, but if he were TO do so he
would pay Cleveland the favor of coming
both gold aud silver in accordance with
the terms of the Democratic pla' 3rm.
Mr.. Bland, rising to open for ,ree coin
age, expressed regret that number of
gentlemen, of whom the speaker who
had just sat down was one of the most
capable, had seen fit to change their po-
sition on this question, to abandon the
large partisan voters who aided in giving
them the seats they occupy and turn their
west. As to the declarations in the Dem
ocratic platform, he asserted that it was
the understanding that the free coinage
of silver would necessarily mean the re-
peal of the Sherman law. The two are
