Crop Conditions.

The Ohio weather and crop service al
Columbus has sent out the following bulle-
tin for week ending S,pt. 10th:
NORTHERN SECTION. showers dur
ing the early portion of the week occurred
generally over the section, and caused a
slight improvement in the condition of the
pasturage, and placed the ground in better
shape for seeding over some counties. The
last half of the week the weather was very
warm and dry, and the drouth was again in
tensited over the greater portion of the sec
ton. The corn is mostly cut and shocked.
except over the extreme northeastern eoun
ties, where the late corn is not yet quite ripe
enough to cut; the yield is generally below
the average. Seeding is nearly completed
over the northeastern portion of the section,
the early sown wheat coming up and making
fair appearance; over the remainder of the
section no great amount of seeding or fitting
OF the soil has been done during the week,
owing to the dry ground. Most of the farmers
are waiting for more rain before seeding,
and in the meantime are fitting an unusual
amount of corn land for wheat. The yield
of potatoes continues poof. with quaiity in.
ferior. The grapes and peaches are yielding
we'll; plums and ounces fairly; apples poor
ly. Harvesting of cereals is about COM
pleted. Buckweat, turnips and cabbage
will be short crop; of poor quality. To-
bacco will be poor yield. CloverI seed is
giving fair yield. Stock water is scarce,
and corn fodder is being fed generally to
the stock.

They Are still Raging in the Northern
Part of the State.
MILWAUKEE, Sept 1S.-Rains about
Merrill, Marshfield and Stevenson,
have greatly quenched the forest fires
in the region where they have been
most disastrous, but dispatches from
Ashland say the fires in the extreme
northern part of the state have as
sumed most threatening proportions.
All day settlers have been pouring
into Ashland from all directions, flying
from the shooting flames which have
devoured their homes and all their be-
longings. The cinders and smoke hang
ing over the city are described as al
most binding. Over 1000 volunteers
We're added to the fire department for
aiding in the fight against the flames as
they advanced on the city from Odanah,
Indian reservation.
A high wind was driving the flames
toward the Lake Shore and Western
railio shops, when at 8 o'clock the
water works gave out. The coalsheds
were soon on fire. Thirty locomotives
We're quickly fred up and pulled all the
rolling stock to places of safety on the
lake front The smoke was SO dense
that a number Of men were overcome
and had to be carried to places of
safety.
At Parisyille large iron plant was
burned. Settlers arriving in Ashland
tell pitiful stories and many fell ex-
hausted when they reached the city.
The ire now covers about 200 square
miles of territory and is going north
ward. The damage to standing timber
is enormous.

SEQUEL TO A MURDER.

Nnree Brothers Lynched Because They
| Would Not Betray Another.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 19.-The killing
of Justice Of the Peace Victor Estop
mall and the wounding of his son Au.
gust, on Friday by Roselius Julian, a
colored prisones, and his escape,
wrought up the entire parish of JEFF,
erson.
Saturday brother and cousin of the
outlaw were captured at Metaire
Ridge. Two other brothers were taken
into custody, as well as his two sisters
and his mother and two cousins, oil of
whom, 1T was charged, knew the where
abouts of Julian.
The eight prisoners were taken to q
little brick structure near Camp Para
pet. Shortly after IL o'clock various
detachments Of the vigilance commit
tee assembled at the Jail until there
were about 40 men present. Twenty
hve of these were selected. Two men
walked into the cell where the prison
ers lay, and demanded to know which
ones were the brothers of the fugitive,
One of the three brothers stood up, and
he was commanded to point out his
brothers. This order he made no at
tempt to obey, but the other brothers
came forward voluntarily. The three
men were bound and taken to pasture
near by and lynched.
The three cousins of the murderer
were then taken out of the Jail. the
clothes stripped from their backs, and
each one given terrible thrashing with
switches. When liberated the bleeding
victims were ordered to get out of the
parish in 30 minutes or they would be
killed on sight. This concluded the
bloody work for the night. Atdaybreak
Monday morning the sister and mother
OF Julian, who were still prisoners in
the little Jail, were given breakfast and
liberated. 1t is the general impression
that the troubles have but begun in
Jefferson.

SOLDIERS IN JAIL.
Fifteen of the Coal Creek Militia Charged
With Murder.


NASHVILLE, Sept. 16.-News comes
from Knoxville that warrants were is
sued for 15 Coal Creek soldiers sup.
posed to be implicated in the lynching
OF Richard Drummond few weeks
ago.
Drummond, it will be remembered.
was supposed to be implicated in the
murder of Private Laugherty of the
Fort Anderson camp, who was shot one
night at house three miles from the
fort. The warrants were placed in the
hands of Sheriff Rutherford of Ander-
son county and were served.
At the request of Adjutant General
F1te, the soldiers under arrest will be
brought to the Knox county Jail for
safekeeping, as the authorities would
thus be able to thwart any temptation
on the part of friends of the soldiers to
nberate them, as they might do if cou-
lined in the Anderson county jail at
Clinton.

Santa Cruz, at the entrance to the har
Dor, is still loyal. and it seems likely
that this fortress will hold out longer

said to be highly incensed at the resist.
ance it has made, and to be prepared to
wreak vengeance upon its garrison
when it surrenders.
1t is not believed, however, that the
insurgents will act too harshly with the
soldiers at Santa Cruz. as the policy of
the insurgent leaders since they have
landed has been one of Cancellation.
This moderation upon their part is due
in a great measure to the fact that the
foreign warships have had healthy
restraining influence upan the move
ments and actions of the insurgents.
Fort Santa Cruz must surrender be-
fore many more days pass. for the gar
rison is short of provisions, and the
rebels have control of the waterways
leading to the fort, and they have taken
care that no food shall reach the
plucky garrison from the land side. v
President Peioxto, it is reported, has
retired to Santa Ana with the troops
still loyal to him. 1t is expected he will
join the Castilhistas in Port Allegro,
where he will make final stand for the
retention of power. He has sent a
manifesto to all the provinces. calling
on them to send troops to defend Rio
Janeiro. There has not been response
from single province.
Private dispatches report that con-
ference has taken place between the
friends of President Piexoto and Ad-
miral De Mellos, at which the former
sought to make terms with the insurg-
ents. Admiral De Mellos is reported 70
have replied that unconditional surren-
der was the only thing which he would
accept.

Obituary.

In Freedom township, Henry county, Ohio
Sept. 1st, 1898, Caroline Harmon, wife OF Jacob
W. Harmon. She had been sufferer OF hear
disease for about year but for the last four weeks
previous to her death she appeared to be gradually
Improving in health. She attended to her house
hold duties the day previous to her death; she re-
tired late in the evening feeling about as well as
usual: several hours afterward she became very
I'LL, and walked into the front room and sat down
by the door on chair, when the husband and
son noticed that she was slowly sinking away sup
posing that she was only fainting they ran to her
assista nee, but, alas, it was but moment until,
without o moan or q struggle, she lay dead in her
sons arms All was done that human aid could do
to restore life back again but 1t was in vain, the
spirit had fed to home in heaven.
Her maiden name was Caroline Russell, and she
was born in Coshocton county. Ohio, on April 4th,
1910; she came with her mother and stepfather,
Joseph Taylor, to Henry county in the fall OF 1854.
She was united In marriage to Jacob W. Harmon

was % years, 4 months and 27 days. She was the
mother OF children two sons and one daughter;
the infant daughter preceded her % years ago at
the are OF 7 months. The deceased leaves kind
and affectlonate husband, two sons and one grand
child two sisters and one brother, and many
friends to mourn her less. But may their loss be
her eternal gain. She was kind and affectioDate
companion and mother and was beloved by all who
knew her, The bereayed ones have the sympathy
Of all. The family home has been wrecked and
broken, but may be rebuilt in heaven: may the
lord sustain the husband and the dear afflicted son
who has been stricken by disease for about 8
years, and who is thus deprived Of mothers care.
TIE fnneral services were held at the house on
Monday at 10 O'Clock M. Rev. Miller officiating,
after which the remains were laid to rest In the
Kline cemetery to await the resurrection morn.
Farewell, dear mother, thou art gone,
Thy sufferings all are o'er,
Thy friends who knew and loved thee
VIII find ihee here no more;
ID ere at rest, her snfferings over,
Nomore pain for her to bear; s ~
Why mourn we then who loved her,
Ii she's In heaven, no sorrow there.
But we miss thee from our home,
We miss thee from thy place;
1t was the Saviour who called her,
Called her to to quit this earthly home;
Gould tears and prayers have held her here,
She would not have passed away.
Gould love have bonnd her to this earth,
She would have been ours to-day.
