On Saturday evening last, old Crystal

sister lodges of Owosso and Laingsburg.
G. f. takes much pleasure in giving to the
pleasure loYing public many such enjoyable
occasions. Much of the prosperity and long
life of the lodge is due to Brother Hartwell.
For 3S years he has been tirele3s worker,
and now it is useless of his talking of grow
ing infrmities or his many years, as we with
in these four walls claim him as our own, ac-
cept him as we do our husbands or wives

won many honorS in the temperance cause.
The last distinction is giving more years to
temperance work than any other good

member can tell the amount of innocent
amusement or useful instruction this lodge
has given to the public. AS blossom cannot

Fighting Moors Have More Warriors Than
They Can Take Care o.

MADRID, Oct. 9.-The cable to Melilla
has been repaired aud dispatches from
various ports have arrived here. The
holy men throughout Morocco are preach
ing war OF determination. They exhort
the Moors to drive out all European inf
dels and to give no quarter to Spaniards
captured in battle. The Kabyles continue
to arrive at tue camp of the trbesmen
near Melilla The Moors have now more
warriors than can be fed from the district
to which they have immediate access and
q famine threatens. They have kept a
desultory fire on the Spanish fortresses for
the last "A hours The Spaniards have re-
piled occasionally, but without perceptible
effect.
The Moorish commander, with a small
escort and flag of truce, called upon the
governor of Melilla Saturday evening and
sued for peace He assured the governor
that the sultan's intention was to inflict
exemplary punishment upon the belliger-
ent tribesmen. The governor argued that
Spain could not aud would not await the
sultan's pleasure in the matter, especially
as he was taking his leisure in giving sat
isfaction for the attack on the fort. The
Moors fusiladed the Spanish gunboat
Guervo Saturday as she was leaving
Melilla harbor after having landed troops
and ammunition. The gunboat put about,
and for 20 minutes shelled the Moorish
camp. Twehty-four shells were sent into
the center of the Moors position and their
fire was silenced.
One marine on the Guervo was wounded.
The loss of the Moors is believed to have
been considerable. The embarking Of
troops at Malaga aud several other ports
continues The second army corps have
been ordered to embark for Melilla.

pooa CROPS rHs RULE.
O. tobsr Mas a Particularly Bad M5nlh Foi
iileIs OF iha Soil


Boston, Oct. 9-The state board OF
agriculture has prepared the report on the
crops for the month Of September. The
weather conditions during the month OF
September were influenced by seven cy-
clones and nine semi-cyclonss Indian
corn was among the crops which were
severely injured by the gales Of the latter
part of August and has never recovered
from the damage 1t then suffered.
Potatoes are generally reported to be
below an average crop, and this condition
extends about uniformly over the state,
with the exception OF Barnstable county,
where more than an average crop Is re-
ported.
The apple crop Is very light In all sec
tions and in many localities is total fall
ure. The drop OF the early part OF the
season reduced the crop materially, and
much of the little fruit remaining was
blown from the trees by the severe gales
of the latter part OF August. Fall apples
are reported more plentiful than winter
fruit, but even they do not approach nearly
an average crop
Cranberries are fully an average crop
and probably little above the average
The reports from Barnstable indicate the
crops there as the largest ever harvested.
In other sections they are on the whole
rather below the average, but this will not
affect the general supply to any extent.
Onions are hardly an average crop. The
midsummer drought seems to have been
the great drawback, though there are
a few complaints of maggots and Of wet
weather in the spring and failure to
germinate.
Root crops generally promise we'll; re-
ports OF poor crops are exceptional.
Rowen suffered severely from the dry
weather directly after haying, and is far
from being an average crop. Many report
an entire failure, while many others speak
OF 1t as light
The rains which came too late to save
the rowen crop have materially helped fall
feed, and it may now be termed fair. Fully
the average amount Of fall seeding has
been done.

HUNGRY AND COLD.
Sufferers From the Recent Cyclone Are In
Desperate Straits.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 8. - The news
from the section stricken by the storm
says It Is safe to estimate the loss Of life at
$500, while millions of dollars worth Of
property was destroyed; besides thousands
Of people have been deprived of the means
of making livelihood. The situation is
appalling, but New Orleans is doing all II
can to relieve the thousands in want. A
good many carloads of provisions and
clothing have been sent to the sufferers,
but this is said to be insufficient. Men,
women and children are without food
and clothing. They have become SO des-
perate that they have threatened to at
tack the stores and steal food.

SAVANNAH, Oct 8. A burly negro
named Marsh Walker ravished the 17-
year-old daughter of Mrs Jane Young.
Finding the girl alone in the house, Walk
er beat her into insensibility and after
ravishing her leit the house. The girl has
been mute from her birth, and her in-
ability to cry out rendered the accom-
plishment of the crime easy. Walker will
probably be lynched If caught.

returned last evening from Norfolk. The
Pentz has been absent since the middle
Of February and has been employed on the
James river. On her run from Norfolk
she covered the distance between that port
and Washington with a brief stop at River
View in little over twelve hours. Despite her
hard work she appears to be in frst-class con-
dition and is already in the hands
Of ship carpenters, machinists and paint
ers. She will be made ready with all
possible speed for the regular summer season,
which opens on Sunday, April 80: Capt.

eating their way through q bale Of oakum and
licking up barrel Of oil. The amount of the
damage was about $50 Had the discovery
been made few minutes later it is probable
that the entire block would have gone up in
smoke.

dent of the United States, and James
Buchanan. Secretary of State, together with
number of army land navy officers, were
present and manifested their interes. by lib
eral contributions. Eleven hundred dollars
were subscribed, and this pronounced to
be the largest contribution ever made by any
church up to that time in Washington. Drs.
J. G. Morris and Charles p krauth, jr, were
present and oficiated during the day. During
DR.. Buffers pastorate the parsonage was
erected. The first pipe organ was put in in
/ September, 1854. but proving unsatisfactory
was returned to the factory an Philadelphia
! This was the only pipe organ put in the
church until the presen: one was put in several
years ago. During Rev. Mr.. Belmar's pastor
ate the sunday school was remoteed and a
very much better arrangement made. In the

taken away and new ones built inside and num-
Der of other changes made. The reopening took
place December 4, 1881. and again Drs Conrad

morning and the latter in the evening. OF the
cost OF this improvement the Sunday school
paid 81 900 and the Ladies' Aid Society $3.50.
THE RECENT REcoNsrBUcrIoN.
The last and most costly improvement was
made in 1888 at cost Of Ss,s5l.4s, and which
practically made it new church-new pews,
new pulpit, new organ. new carpets, &c. Mrs.
Ann i. Clary gave 81 900 toward the payment
for the new organ Liabilities have ali been
met, and the church is entirely free from debt,
which is exceedingly gratifying, as it is the first
time In the shistory Of the church. The re-
opening on this occasion took place December
2, 1883, DIR. Conrad delivering the address in
