GRASSHOPPERS.
They Do Immense Damage to Crops in
West Tennessee.

They Do Immense Damage to Crops in
West Tennessee.
HUNTINGTON, Tenn, Aug. 20.-Fine
rains throughout June and July
brought corn and cotton into the best
condition known in West Tennessee in
years. But now legions of grasshop-
pers are appearing in some localities
and are completely devastating the
fields. Their voracity is not satisfied
until they have devoured even the cob
and stalk of young corn and have
stripped the cotton stalk of it's foliage,
squares and bark. Farmers here in
Carroll and Weekley counties are
spending their best energies in driving
them into straw pits and burning
them. One man, in his desperation,
drove a horde of the pests into his
barn and then fred it to save his grow
ing crops. These raiding Acrydians
are to be found in every stage of devel-
opment, from the wingless baby hop
per to the adult as large as humming
bird, all ravaging the fields together.
Unless they are successfully met soon
immense damage will be sustained in
the West Tennessee counties.

New YORK, Aug. 1s.-Creditors of
Kraus Bros, who kept sales stable
on East Fifty-ninth street and two in
Brooklyn, are very much exercised
over the failure, which was reported
on August 10. A large number of
claims have been placed in the hands
of Snow, Church & Co. for collection,
and Col. 7. c. Campbell, Of that firm,
has issued replevins to the sheriff ag-

Of these replevins four are in the
name of Stephen g. Patterson, for the
Haydock Carriage Co., of Cincinnati,
and others for Graf, Morsbach & Co.,
Cincinnati, and the United States Car

Mr.. Patterson said Friday that Kraus

cities; and did not pay cent on the
purchases from his clients; that Bloom

Rumor That Secretary Carlisle VIII Reslgn
Denied-To End Tarin Agitation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-Rumors that
Secretary Carlisle would resign, owing
to his opinion on the tariff bill being
contrary to those of the president,
seem to be based merely upon the
Imagination of some irresponsible per-
son at the capitol Friday. Secretary
Carlisle's son Logan says he can not
imagine why such story should be
created. 1t is denied emphatically.
The stories of a bitter reprimand ad-
ministered to Secretary Carlisle by the
president for his letter to Senator Har-
ris can doubtless be set down as base
less as the rumored resignation.
"When will congress adjourn?" SEN
ator Jones, of Arkansas, was asked Fri
day,
Congress has adjourned" senten-
tiously answered the democratic lead
er, whose prominence as one of the
senate conferees on the tariff bill gives
any opinion of his on the present situa-
tion great weight.

acted upon the resolution offered by
Senator Murphy Friday declaring no

Senator Murphy believes that he
