COFFINED ALIVE.
Girl Overcame Her Trance While

Speakers. a village not far from Rond-

the Sunday before.

The doctor pronounced her dead. and tSr-

1t vas decided that the interment should
take place Tuesday. and in the morning
Miss Markham was pat in the coffin.
After her relatives had taken a last look
on what they supposed was their beloved
dead. the lid of the coffin was fastened on.

The girl was then taken into TIE house
While the doctor was administering ~timu-
lating restoratives the trappings of woe
were removed and the hearse drove away
with more cheerful rapidly than a hearss
was ever driven before.
The ccr1ials had the desired effect, and
Miss Markham grew a little stronger As
ii was evident that her nerves were suff er-
ing from the terrible shock they aad re-
ceived, the doctor ordered the doors thrown
open and told the sirrs mother ana i'm

and passed into a refreshing sleep when
she had unbGrdened her mind
Il was Conscious all the time you ysere

CROP REPORTS.
Little Damage Yet Reported From the
Drought.


Drought.
Notwithstanding the fact that the present
long-continued drought is very wide in its
extent. and is particularly serious in the
west and the northwest, comparatively lit
tie damage to the growing crops has Yet
been reported. Corn and cotton, the two
staples which would be most likely to suf-
fer damage at this season of the year, are
able to stand a great deal of dry weather
before they show any i'll effects. In point
of fact both of these products are rather
better off than they were at this time last
year.
According to the latest report of tire
statistician of the Agricultural Department,
Mr.. Henry A. Robinson, just issued, and
complied from reports from all sections Of
the country, the condition of the corn on
the LIST of July was 10. being is better than
last year, 1879 better than the year before
and higher than any in the last ten years
with the exception of 1881. Cotton is sY.6,
the highest since $500. The important pc
riod, however, will be frcm now. and unless
there should be a general break n the
drought the harm would be immense. Iowa
and Missouri report the best condition for
July l in corn, 100 and 1Ol respectively,
that is to say. all and more than they had
any reason to expect Texas and Okla
homa lead in the matter of cotton.
The preliminary acreage Of corn,
ported by correspondents, shows l06 per
cent compared with the acreage of 1913.
being increase in round numbers Of
4.O0U.OO0 acres, or 76O00,OO0 acres against
12,GO,O0O last year.
The condition Of winter wheat Is $50
against S3.2 in June. and H. in July. 1873.
The condition Of spring wheat Is 6S.4
against IS in June. and 14.1 in July, 1893.
The fall since last report is nearly 70
points.
The consolidated returns place the condi-
ton Of oats at 777 against 81 last
month, showing a reduction in condition
from last month of 9.3 points. The condi-
ton July 1. 1893, was SIS.
The acreage under potatoes Is 1851 per
cent of that Of last year. The low price Of
cereals partly accounts for this increase.
The condition for the whole country stands
at 1928, as against 94.S and so in 1893 and
1902. respectively. This is nearly two points
below the average condition for July our
ing the last ten years. the chief causes CT
the deterioration being drought and the
prevalence of the Colorado potato beetle
In the states of largest production. how
ever, New York, Pennsylvania Michigan
and Wisconsin, the condition ranges near
or above the average, standing at 81, %.
9S and 81, respectively.
The returns for cotton make the average
condition 500 against 1873 in June showing
an improvement in condition of Ii points.
The condition in July. 1S93 was S2.7.
The reports shoV slight general improve
ment of condition throughout the cotton
belt. In Ave states. Virginia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee, there
has been a decline while in the states Of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and Texas there has been an i'm
provement in the condition Of the crop.

DIG STORIES, NOT WINNINGS.
Exaggerated Reports of Amounts Lost

One reason for the great popularity Of
racing among men who Know nothing about
the sport is the extraordinary fortunes
which people are supposed to make in the
course Of fifteen or twenty minutes, ry bet

Is not true of all the men who sit in the re-
porters' stand at the tracks.
Every year some particular man is picke
out, and the stories of his winnings are
mentioned day after day. quite a matter
Of course. but never with any real notion
of the actual facts Of the case. McCaffe-ty,
for Instance, Is commonly credited iy the
papers with having landed between $4,000
and 100000 on a single race :his week, and
a few days before IL was solenanly announc-
ed in the papers that "Pittsburg Phil" had
rather bad two-days' racing. but having
landed $4,000 on Candeiabra he was feel

Such winnings as these are noted usually

The Inconsistency OF these statements is

But, assuming that the story is true and
that McCaffe-ty had bet that amount Of
money, his winnings would have amounted

WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT.
Report of Operations During the
Month of June.


Col. Elliot has m ade report to Gen.
Casey. chief Of engineers, Of operations on
the Washington aqueduct during the month
of June from which it appears that the wa
ter works and approaches were kept in good
condition, and number of minor repairs
and improvements made. The macadam
pavement Of the Conduit road was repaired.
The repair Of the footways Of the Pennsyl-
vania avenue aqueduct bridge is about one
fourth completed. A measurement of the
hourly and daily rate of consumption and
waste Of water in the city was made June
2Sth, and 1t was found that the daily
rate was 49162,357 gallons. This shows a
heavy progressive increase in the consump-
ton and waste of water and indicates
clearly the necessity for an immediate in
crease in the water supply of the District
The daily rate Of consumption and waste
for the past four years Is as follows: June
$780, 35o41 ,S45 gallons; June, 1891, IS, 59i, TAB
gallons; June, 1892. Al, 16l. $50 gallons; June
1893 46727. los gallons; June, 1894, 40. 49,. 1851
gallons.
During July Col Elliot says it is proposed
to commence the excavation required for
the proposed drain from the vault chamber
Of the distributing reservoir of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal; to remove the de-
posts in the bed Of the Potomac opposite
the intake of the conduit at Great Falls
which interfere with the proper flow Of
water into the conduit and to continue the
survey Of the boundaries of the aqueduct
lands.
Col. Elliot says part Of the project for the
improvement of the Dalecarlia receiving
reservoir has been completed and the ap-
preparation exhausted. The work referred
to consisted in the excavation and lining
of the receiving shaft in the valley Of Lit
tie Falls branch and the excavation and
lining of the main drainage tunnel under
Dalecarlia Hill, the former being 50 1-2
feet deep and the latter $3.50 in length.
The remaining part of the project consists
in the excavation and lining of tunnel
through the hill which lies to the east
ward of Little Falls branch: the construc-
ton of the permanent drains across Little
Falls branch. Mill creek and East creek
and the excavation and embankments re-
quired for the open channels between those
streams. Work on this part of the project
will be commenced as soon as the appro-
priation for 1t, which is now pending in
Congress, has been enacted.

A group of millionaires were playing
what was probably the stiffest game Of
poker ever played in the United States.
1t was at Chamberlin' in Washing
ton, in the winter Of 1889 and 1890.
The exact list Of the players will never
be known, but Senator Wolcott of Col
orado and ex Governor Hauser Of Mon
tana were in it, and Senator Farwell of
Chicago was i'll the room.
About midnight swell drummer for
a Chicago dry goods firm sent up his card
to Senator Farwell. The senator went
down to see him and brought him up to
the room where the game was going on.
He introduced him to the other players.
''Havo you any objection to my play
ing?" asked the drummer
"Well," said Senator Wolcott, 81
have no objection, but-er-well, you
see, tho game is pretty steep.
lila, hal' laughed tho drummer.
'That is the kind of game like. "
Ex-Governor Hauser remarked that
if he could stand it the rest Of the
crowd had no objection. With a wink
at Senator Farwell tho drummer sat
down, pulled out "wad," peeled Of
4 81. 900 bill and said TO Governor Han

"Give mo some chipsH'
Then ho looked around the table, as
much as to say:

"Givo tho gentleman one white

or Hauser passed over the chip without
a smile and remarked;
'Jack pot for So, 600. Put up YOU

The drummer sat aghast for an in
