CHARLESTON, April 25.-The strike

Provost Pepper Resigns.

PHILADELPHIA, April 23.-At a
special meeting of the trustees of the
University of Pennsylvania to-day
DR.. Pepper resigned his position as
provost. This action was taken in
opposition to earnest entreaties from
his feeling that the great growth of
the university during his administra-
ton has reached a point where it de-
mands the undivided efforts OF the
provost. He will continue to hold
the profeSsorship of medicine, and
will devote himself more especially
to the interests of the medical school
and hospital. DR.. Pepper to-day
made a contribution of $4,000,
which will be applied to extension of
the hospital buildings. In his letter
of resignation, DR.. Pepper speaks of
the completion of the formative per-
iod Of the university, as will be illus
trated this year for the first time by
the university commencement week.

farmer of Wayne county, tells of
being robbed by females on the
ridge between Twelve Pole andTom s

that while on his way home Ella and

money and valuables ran his horse
off and made him skip in an opposite
direction at the point of revolvers.
The point is one where a great many
persons have recently been held up.
The girls live with their parent. near
by, and are rather tough, though
they were not thought to be desper-
ate enough for such acts.

READ THIS CAREFULLY-A REMARK
ABLE WAR SOUVENIR FREE.-Theto top
notch of enterprise and liberality

Times, which announces that every

AN IMPORTANT Casa case of
more than usual importas &c. and in
volving question of great public
interest engaged the attention of the
Circuit Court for two days, Friday
and Saturday, of last week. 1t was
the suit of Ms. E. A. Etchinson's
admir-, vs.. Tie Agricultural Insur-
ance Co., of Watertown, n. Y, to
recover the amount of an insurance
policy taken out by her on house
which afterwards burned. The COM
pany resisted payment, on the
ground that the insured had trans
f, rrod the property by deed, and it
had been incumbered by judgment
liens, without notification to it, both
of which were prohibited by two of
the many conditions appearing on
the back of the policy. There were
two distinct questions submitted 10
the jury. First "Was Mrs. Etchin-
son at the time Of the alleged con
veyancc incompetent to make a
dyed?" And secondly "was the
Company liable for the loss by fire,
OF the property insured" The Grst
question was decided in the affirma
tive, and it seemed to follow in the
mind Of the jury as a logical Sc
quence that if the conveyance was
void, the judgments taken against a
person mentally incompetent were
also void, whereupon a verdict was
render, d against the defendant com
pany for the amount of the policy
$l500.00 with interest from the time
that it was payable, aggregating
$lG65.C0. The attorney for the
Company, moved the Court, in ar
rest of judgment, to set aside the
verdict of the jury and grant a new
trial, which motions the Court took
time to consider. The case was very
ably contested by Messrs. Flick and
Westeahaver for the plaintiff, aod

Crop BULLETIN No. 4, WEEK END
ING APRIL %, 1894.-GeneraI Sum-
mary.-With sunshine on the 18th
and portion of 10Th and seasonable
rains during most of week, all classes
Of vegetation have taken on a new
lease of life and have made good
growth.
Cereals and Grasses.-Wheat con-
tinues to improve and in must local
titles is in fine condition. Farmers
are almost ready to plant corn, some
have already planted few acres.
Oats sown before the freeze late in
March show signs of renewed life, in
many districts the destructive effects
of the freeze are still apparent; some
sowing is yet to be done. Grasses
of all kinds show a marked change
for the better. The rainy condition
during the week retarded corn and
oat planting. but will put the ground
in good shape, although most farm
ers have the ground already prepar-
ed and blowing for corn is very near
completion. Meadows look better.
Some cattle on pastures. A few
cal fields will be sown in millet.
Vegetables. Gardens have i'm
proved wonderfully and the prospect
for everything in the line of vegeta-
bles looks more encouraging, al
though garden truck, as a rule, will
ne little late, owing to the backset
received in March. Potatoes about
all planted, some coming up; those
already IN ground before the March
freeze still show signs Of injury.
Fruit.-Many trees (notably APP
pies, pears, cherries, peaches and
plums) are blooming again, and,
where lot actually killed, the reserve
buds prove that the fruit was not all
destroyed. Apple and peach trees
that stood near houses and on low
land, are said to be in fair shape.
Grapes are safe, though the vines
are yet somewhat dormant. Reports
relative to fruit are still little con-
ficting but concensus of opinions
shows that, while much damage was
done by the March freeze and frosts,
yet the prospects have frightened
considerably. taking the State as a
whole, the greatest damage occurring
in the more elevated districts. Late
fruits are still doing nicely.
