Kansas Corn.


TOPEKA, Kan, July 2s.-Railroad
Commissioner John Hall, who came in
from the west last night, says that un-
less rain falls within forty-eight hours
there will be no corn in that section.
In the central and western parts of
the state the most favora BILE weather
would not make crop. Further
east rains would save it. Mr.. Hall
says the hot blast has affected all
kinds of vegetation as far east as
Wamego in Pottawatomie county.
Equally discouraging reports continue
to come from the northwest as far east
as Republic county, and on the south
ern border of the state it is said the
corn has been burnt out from the
western border of Cowley county to
the Colorado line, including the south
half of the counties lying Immediately

A FrightfuI Conflict.

Tracy City, July 27.-A frightful con.
fict between officers and striking miners
took place in No. II coal mine, near this
place at o'clock this afternoon, in
which Deputy Warden w. II. Nelson
and notorious convict named Pete
Hamilton were killed. About 200 con.
victs are worked in this mine by the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company.
Convicts went in the mine this morning,
captured the powder magazine, forced
three free laborers out and then refused
to work. In the absence of Warden
Dyer, Deputy Nelson was in charge.
Every effort was made to get the con,
victs to work without success. At
o'clock Capt. Nelson, with his guards,
attempted to get them to come out OF
the mine. This they refused to do. On
entering the mine one of the guards
recognized the leader, Pete Hamilton,
and Immediately shot and killed him.
Thinking this would bring them out
Capt. Nelson and some guards proceeded
up across the entry. The convicts had
made gun out of cast iron pipe, and
placing this and keg of powder into a
mining car and attaching fuse to each,
placed the car at the head of the main
entry, and on hearing their approach
lighted the fuse and turned the car
loose down the entry. just as Nelson
made his appearance the keg of powder
and pipe exploded, striking his head
and almest severing it from his body,
killing him instantly. One hundred
and fifty miners afterward came out,
leaving sixty in the mines. At 10
o'clock tonight the mouths of the mines
are carefully guarded, but it is thought
the remaining ones are planning a way
for escape during the night. Two guards
were sligh tly hurt by the explosion.

A JOKE ON THE JUDGE.

late s!dge Thompson. Of Gloucester

covernor CASTOR. Thompson was n good
stoly-te Her. aays the Worcester Gazette
but could not talk without SUFFERING.
Judge Thompson always came up TO tne
Democratic state conventions, which
used TO be held each year in Worcester
and was always primed with good sto-
rles.
ON one such occasion. the night before
the convention. In the Bay State ifouse,
nc was one OF a group OF men IN inc
lobby exchanging the latest stories WIZ
a newcomer to the circle broke in Win.
Il say. Judge. tell that suffering s'ory

The man was a stranger 10 the Juuse
up TO that time, and had only met nm

any possibility, tell . story that was
not a "stuttering story" this unpremedi-

NEW JERSEYS CONTEST.
II Is Settled in Favor of the Republicans
Supreme Court Opinlon.

Supreme Court Opinion.
TRENTON, N. j., March n.-The So-
preme Court OF New Jersey. with but one
dissenting voice. decided to-day that the
Republican majority alone has the right
to organize the State Senate. The dis
senter was Ex-Governor Leon Abbott, who
Will file n minority opinion in a few days.
The decision, which was read by Chief
Justice Beasley. completely annihilates all
the contentious made by Governor Werts,
Acknowledgement Stockton. and the mi
nority members OF the Senate. Not a
single peg Is left uDon which TO hang n
hope for the Democratic senators. and
there seems to be nothing left for them
10 do but to bow TO the inevitable. and
come into camp as gracefully az posi-
BILE. This Will probably be done to-mor-
row, and before another sun has risen
and set Senator Rogers will doubtless
WELD the gavel over a reunited Senate.
This turn OF affairs was "a complete sur
prise to the Democrats. all OF whom pro-
fessed the utmost confidence thai they
would win the quo warranto pro-
ceeding which had been put In
motion at their suggestion. Not an
mixing Of the nature of the opinion
had reached any one save the members OF
the court until II was read by the Chiei
Justice his morning. In fact, 1t was not
until the last paragraph was reached tnat
the hopes OF the minority under Senator
Adrian were seen 10 have been utterly
crushed. Then ensued deep gloom among
the losers and great glee In the ranks OF
the winners, although all hands evidently
shared in the feeling of relief that the
long fight Is over. After the decision had
been announced the Governor filed all
the bills passed by the House and Repub-
llcan Senate. and they have become laws
commissions were also issued TO the new
State Treasurer and Auditor.
The main point OF the Democrats con-
tention was that the Senate was a con-
tinuous body, and that the organization
Of the body by n minority OF Democratic
hold-over senator's behind locked doors,
excluding the newly-elected senators from
the proceedings. was legal. The court
holds that it has jurisdiction of the case,
that the Senate is not n continuous body,
and thH the subsequent organization OF
the Senate by the majority excluded IRON
the first meeting was legal.
