The drouth is beginning to affect the tobacco crops along the Connecticut river and unless it rains very soon the crops will be ruined. The crop has promised we'll in spite of hail storms, but it will be an entire loss unless a rain comes soon. The total crop in southern Connecticut is worth at least $7OO,OOO. The peril is so great that some of the growers are ready to resort to the rain makers. J. E. Fuller, large owner, has telegraphed to an Iowa firm who are contracting to furnish rain to limited areas. Mr.~Fuller is ready to contract for rain and money is no object, the only condition is-hurry up.

IT has become certainty that congress will not be hasty in repeating the silver bill. The bimetalists will fight it to the bitter end, and have unexpected strength in the south, where many of the demo- cratic candidates secured their elections only by making pledges which kept pop ulist candidates from the field. In the senate the tactics of opposition will run largely to extended debate and delay.

E1dFIIOTUa OOuEx5Ht: ~ u0 at5t0 SCuCI8l assembly passed the following law, en- titled "Chapter ocxIH'
 Section 81O5 of the General Statutes is hereby repealed.
 The marginal note beside this reads:
 One arrested as intoxicated need not disclose.
 Section 3105 of the General Statutes is the old tdisclosure'' law that required 8 person who had been arrested for intoxi- cation to disclose where he got his liquor. So far so good. But that section 3105 is among the statutes of the 1888 revision. Now it happens that in 1889 the legisla- ture passed new disclosure law which superseded that of 1888, and so the legis- lature of 1893, when it repealed section 3105, repealed law already dead and the "disclosure'' law still holds. Judge Bar bour recently sentenced prisoner under this law and the story was spread about town that he was using law that did not exist. But the judge was right. The law is on the statute books hale and hearty. It is whispered that there was "pool" of money behind the repeal movement of 1893 and that those who paid their money got nothing in return. It is an amusing situation. Quite so.

Hartford Post: However great may have been Judge Barbour's personal prov ocation for excluding from his court Re- porter Thayer of the Courant this morn ing, the court has nothing to gain by such a course and much to lose. If Judge Bar bour wishes to maintain the dignity of his court, he is taking the wrong course when he stoops to discipline man whose only offense-if it be an offense-is to conscientiously criticise the judges ap- parent disposition to favor the liquor in- terests. Judge Barbour, by such action, simply calls attention more directly to his shortcomings, which the Post has not hesitated to point out. The wisest course for Judge Barbour is to dispense with such acts as excluding men who crit icise him outside, and to devote himself to a more impartial, strictly legal and comDetent administration of his office.

LYNCHED BY NEGROES.

A Negro Murderer Taken From Jail
 by . Meb of Men of His own Color
 and Hanged-Bullets Fired Into the
 Body and Then They Set Fire 10 Is.
 LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. 14.-Word reached here this morning of the horrible execution of negro named D. T. Nelson at Warner last night, by mob composed entirely of negroes. Last week Nelson murdered Ben Betts, negro, and since then he has been confined in the small jail at Warner.
 The friends of the murdered man gath cred at the jail last night and breaking down the doors dragged the trembling wretch out. Then they tied 8 rope about his neck and dragged him to tree, where he was quickly swung up. As soon as his body was fastened to tree the mob fired 8 volley of bullets into the slowly revolv- ing figure. Then they gathered lot of wood and set fire to It. The flames quickly reached the suspended man and his clo- thing ignited and his flesh began to burn. The mob then withdrew, after warning all concerned not to extinguish the flames. The rain, which was pouring down, quenched the flames and saved the body from incineration.
 Early this morning the body of Nelson was found lying in the jail yard with the clothing partly burned of. The authori ties are trying to learn the identity of the

DEAD AN AREA WAY.

The Body of an Unknown Woman
 Found at 42 Trumbum Street-Her
 Death Supposed 10 Have Been Due
 to Natural Causes.
 The body of an unknown woman was discovered in an area way under the front steps of the residence of James H. Ford, at 42 Trumbul street, about 10 o'clock last evening. A servant girl employed at the house was just returning home, and in go- ing down the stairs leading into the base ment stepped on the body. The girl was terribly frightened and ran into the house and told the family. Officer Clyne hap pened along about this time, and he i'm mediately informed the police department and Medical Examiner White. After Dr. Whites arrival he ordered the body re- moved to Cox & Henzs's, where 1t was i'm mediately taken by the police ambulance.
 The examination there showed that she was 8 woman about thirty-five years old, apparently accustomed to hard work. She had a plain, heavy, solid gold ring on the ring finger of her left hand and had six cents in her pocket. There was nothing by which she could be identified She was dressed iu 8 black striped dress, with blue calico dress under. She wore e red paisley shawl and a weIl-worn brown hat.
 The bone over the left temple was frac- tured and the left jaw bone was broken. There was no odor of liquor about her and she had in all probability met her death by falling down the stone steps.

HINKEY WAS BRUTAL.

Captain Mackey Declares That He
 Struck Knipe and Jumped on Os-
 goods Neck Last Saturday without
 Any PrOvocatiOn-Ne Protest Was
 Made-He Had No Complaint to
 Make However.
 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.-Csptsin Mackey of the Pennsylvania's team was to- day asked as to the stories accusing his men of "roughness," ," brutality" etc., in the game last Saturday with Yale. He said nothing of the kind had come under his notice, nor did any of the team know of any incidents of the game which justified in the smallest degree such accusations. He laughed at the story of "Butterworth's bite," and said it would make good title fos . dime novel and had about as much foundation in fact. It would take an ogre to bite through 8 canvas jacket, a sweater and an undershirt. When asked about the treatment his own men had received he said they had no complaint to make. He himself had bad confusion of the eye from blow of Murphy's fist.
 Everyone on the fsld saw Hinkey strike Knipe with no provocation from the latter except that he had made 8 touch down. The same player jumped with his knees on Osgood's neck after the latter had called "down." AcCrea repeatedly struck Whar- ton about the facs and head and pulled of deliberately the protecting bandsge from his swollen and infamed ear, although doing so caused ageniz'ng pain. But the Pennsylvania team, the captain said, &C., cepted these occurrences as unpleasant incidents of an exciting gsme-as chances of war.
 Captain Mackey said 1t seemed to him remarkable that neither the umpire and referee nor the correspondents and report CTS of the New York papers nor the audi ence in general had seen anything of the l shocking behavior about which such vail now comes from NewHaven. On the other hand thousands saw Hinksy hit Knipe, an
 act for which under every rule of the game | he deserved instant disq ratification, but | ss Pennsylvania wanted to play the game on its merits no appeal or even suggestion | of the sort was made to the umpire, who | doubtless did not happen to see it.
