FARMS, HOMES AND MORTGAGES.

We have received Census Bulletins 63
and 64-169O, which give the official
statistics of farms, homes and mortgages
in thirty-three States and Territories and
of ownership and debt in twenty-five
States and Territories.
They have just been issued under di-
rection of Carroll D. Wright, Commits
sioner of Labor, in charge, and the gath
ering of the facts was done under the su-
perintendency of George K. Holmes and
John S. Lord of the Census Bureau. The
reports are, of course, to the Secretary of
the Interior.
The facts derivable from examination
of the very many and very elaborate
tables and statements are full of interest;
few can now be given, and we select
such as relate to subjects of most con-
Germ. These disabuse the public mind of
errors that have been assiduously culti-
vated and fatty contradict some startling
statements that have been kept afoat by
agitatorS, greatly to the INJURY OF the
country. One of these talsehoods, for
instance, is that of all farm property
seven-tenths is mortgaged and for nine
tenths of its value, and often, is added
the absurdity, "for more than its value"
Bulletin 63 treats of ownership and
debt in six New England States, New
Jersey, Maryland, Tennessee, Georgia,
South Carolina and the District of Co
lumbia; the three Territories and Idaho,
Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada,
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
In these subdivisions the truth discoy-
cred concerning farms and farmers may
be thus condensed, and the officers say
the showing stands fairly representative
for the Whola o0I1ptrV.

DISASTROUS FLOOD.
DesOlation by 6 Flood. Crops and Cattle Destroyed ana
 People Homeless.

BUFFALo N. r., Sept. l.-Westeru oi New York is literally burning up. The drouth is unprecedented and uules rain comes soon the loss will be immense.
 TORONTO, Sept. 1.-Destructive fires are burning on the western peninsular of Lake Huron where the drouth has parched the entire country. The viii lsee of Henshal is surrounded by fire and the whole population is out to protect the town.
 SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 1.-The scene of dissolution and destruction in the flood ed district from the Southern Pacific railroad POO miles away to the Rio Grande i' something terrible. Cattle have ben swept away and crops destroy ed and hundreds of people are home less. There is still grave uncertainty as to the number of lives lost as there are several towns in the flooded district away from all railroad and telegrspbic communication.
 NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. IA dis patch from the general manager of the Southern Pacific railway, in Texas, shows that the principal damage sustain ed by the road on account of the flood was the washing away of ths iron spanned bridges over the Leona, Honda and SecOr rivers. The report that the loss to the Southern Pacific would reach one and quarter million dollars IS ridic- ulous.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Sept. Views ar rived here this morning of the lynching of six negroes two miles west of We'll irgtop. The sheriff had arrested them for various incendiary crimes and was bringing them to town when band of fifty armed men stopped the posse and killed all the negroes. The lynohsrs are unknown to the sheriff but every effort will be made to bring them to justice.
 Dan Hawkins, a negro, was arrested a year ago with several others, charged with burning barns and residences. One negro prisoner confessed to belong to the gang Of fire brands of which Hawkins was the leader. Hawkins was sent to the penitentiary and has only been out a few weeks. From the time he was liberated the burnings commer ced. The sheriff obtained evidence against Hsw- kins and gang of five others who were doing the work, and last night he pro- cured wagon and driver and drove to the abode of the susi ected negroes. When they were all handcuffed and chained the party started back. In the woods masked men stopped them and shot all the negroes to pieces and then escaped.

Nettie Neustetter's History.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31-Nettie Neus- letter, who is said to be the cause of the family troubles of William K. Wander bilt, was born thirty years ago in Eu-
 reka, where her father, Ben Cohen, kept clothing store, and became wealthy. After several fiances with wealthy men
 on the coast in 1884 she married Henry Neustetter. In 1887 she left her hus-
 band and went to New York, where @ millionaire manufacturer gave her a sumptuous flat, horses and carriages
 and all the money she could spend. He took her to Europe where she travelled like princess. When she returned to New York she dazzled people with the elegance of her dresses and the bril- liancy of her jewels. In 1890 she re- turned to San Francisco to visit her parents. The next heard of her was that she had gone to Europe again and had been eiected from the Continental hotel in Paris. To her parents she wrote she was studying for the stage and would return to San Francisco in October

IF republican expectations are real | Ized in the election of senators to fill the three vacancies, one each from Montana,
 Washington and Wyoming, it is alto gether probable that the bargain be- tween the sugar trust and the bosses of
 the democratic party will be speedily
 upset at tha next session of congress, by
 the passage of the house bill to put all sugars on the free list, with an amend ment providing for bounty on al! do- msstic sugar. IL is believed that that free sugar bill with the bounty amend ment rould receive, in addition to the vote of every republican senator, those of the populists and of the two demo- crsts from Louisiana.

THE drop in price of wool on account of the free trade agitation has seriously affected the Colorado wool growers. In January, 1892, Colorado contained l,7l0, 395 sheep, worth 52:49 apiece, or total value ot s4,263 673. h January, 1894, the number of sheep in Colorado hsd fallen to ,293, ,95S, and their value had declined to s2,443,880. The wool clip of Colorado in 1893, amounted to 9, ,236, 130 pounds, which IS cents per pouod, the quoted price ID January of that year, amounted to S2.262, ,503. In 1894 the value of our wool clip reckoned at II cents per pound, the market price ID January last, only amounted to S1,0l5,- 974 Since January wool has dechred to about cents per pound, aud It will pro oably go lower in the near future.

Democratic Harmony,

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 31.-The bitter fight that has been waging among the several factions of the San Francisco democracy has reached @ sensational climax. Andrew J. Clunie, who is the leading spirit in democratic circles, has given publicity to letter which he will present to the general county committee at its next meeting, ID which it is alleg- ed that Max Pepper, the chairman of the general committee, in a political tool of Chris. A. Buckley, the notorious ex-boss.
 It is charged that Pepper is.in league with Buckley to surrender the demo- cratic party into Buckley's hands and that he has conspired to defeat certain democratic candidates who have op- posed his plans. The most serious charge is that Poppar has publicly con- fes -eo 70 having paid to certain mem- bers the last board of supervlsors S950 ger month 70 protect himself and Buckley in their street sweeping con- tIa.ts A -pueal is made for Peppers reu,oval from the chgiFmsnship of the general committee.

Rain in Pima CountY.

The following extract from the Weath- CT Bureau bulletin fer the week end- ing August ?, show the uneven distri- button of the rain in Pima county.
 Portions of Pima county have had an abundance of ram, but on the whole the distribution of precipitation over this section has been very uneven. At Tucson and in its immediate vicinity less than half the normal amount has been received, and as a consequence of the persistent droughiness that has pre- vailed during the entire season the mesas remain almost destitute of green vegeta- tion, and present an appearance quite different from the spectacle of verdure and flowers to be seen here a year ago. The rain of the 23d inst. was very heavy few miles east and northeast of Tue son. The Rillito is reported to have risen to the proportions of a torrent, overtlowing its banks and working dam age and destruction to the gardens along portions of its course. The country in the vicinity of Fort Lowell presented the appearance, a few days after the rain, of having been entirely submerged.

Doings in and About Yuma.
 Times

A man named Russ Hayden died quite suddenly at Gold Rock Saturday even- ing. He was a carpenter and had been working in the hot sun during the day. In the evening he laid down and never ing from exposure during the day.
 General Andrade has finally secured title from the Mexican Government for his immense tracts of land near Yuma, so it is said. This makes him probably the largest individual land holder in the world, his possessions numbering mill- ions of acres in Sonora and Lower Cal ifornia.
 That portion of Lower California near Yuma now has a civil organisation, something it has never heretofore enjoy ed. A Judge and Sheriff have been sp- pointed, answering somewhat to our township organization with greater jur- isdiction. The Judges name is Daniel Sanders and the Sheriff or ''rodap' is Jose Reille. The Judge is also a ''judge of the plains" for the cattlemen. Their headquarters will be at Algodonee, 8 few miles from Pilot Knob.
 An Indian attracted crowds on the street yesterday by a big rsttlesnake which he had in a glass-covered box. The serpent was six feet long and had 13 rattles. The Indian offered to turn the snake loose and catch him again for 10 cents and secured the money from Peter Hodges, upon which he dumped the ''vsrmint" out. The crowd tumbled over each other to get out of the way, but the Indian secured the snake again lefore he had run far. It is thought that the fangs must have been taken out or the Indian would not have dared to handle his prisoner so csrelessly.

LOTS of democrat5 are more inter- es;ed in the gossip about the reported com biuation between Vice President Stevenson a8d Senator Hill than in the tariff. According to the little that has leaked out about thIs combination it was formed for double purpose. First, to prevent the renomination of MT. Cleveland in '96; and second, to make Stevenson UT Hill the nominee of the democrats, each agreeing to throw his influence to the one that shall develop the greatest strength previous to the holding of the convention. This weeks visit of Stevenson and Hill to the grave of Thomas Jefferson at Monticello was for the purpose of laying the wires to get control of the democratic machinery as a starter.

Pathetic Case Growing Out of a Run.
 away Woman.
 A child's illness peculiarly pathetic is reported from Morenci.
 Henry Fowler, worthy, hard work ing man, was deserted by hls wife two weeks ago. she taking their two chil- dren, boys of five and two years of age.
 Fowler set out on a search and found his family at Los Angeles. What oc- cured between them they only know, but the children were taken from the wretched woman and brought home again.
 Manlike, indulgent and not knowing the capacity of 8 child's stomach and the failure of the same to sustain it's capacity, he gave the children peaches to eat on the train, all they wanted.
 The older boy day or two ago was attacked violently with cholera morbus. His spasms are something fearful and pitiful in SO small child. When in his spasms, his limbs contorted with agony, and his cries for his mother are very sad. It is doubtful if the boy will live. He IS being given every care possible.
 The mother IS said to have run away with a man formerly residing at Mo- renci.

IT is not worth while for American gold miners to rush te the new gold fields of Coolgardie, or Counani, or Nc gunds, says the New York Sun. Amer jeans would have very poor chance in the Australian gold minee, which are worked mainly by native blacks and Chinese coolies and Afghans, and which are under peculiar laws, not favorable to outsiders. The same thing may be said of the mines in British South Africa, which are under the administra- tion of companies of British capitalists.

SAN DIEGO, Gala, Aug. 31.-On July 24th 46 men of the Fourteenth Mexi- can battalion left the Pillars for Cruz de Preido and from there started on the Both for the Rio Yaqui near the outposts of Las Guasimas.

 Captain Comes in command rallied his men on defence a little outside of the. ambuscade. The indians attack ed the troops furiously, but were re- pulsed more than once. The fight lasted more than an hour and half and the federals remaining in possession of the field.
 Twelve soldiers were killed and six wounded. The wife of sergeant was killed, child of eight end boy of nine wounded slightly. Four Indians were killed and p wounded and taken pris- oners.
 Captain Comes will be court martial ed at Torin.

LONG before the campaign opened or promised to open, the CITIZEN plead for fair field and no favor in politics for the republican party. We believed then, as we do now, that the coming campaign was field day for republl- cans provided, however, that the repub- licans were true to themselves. Such could not be so long as even the shadow of bossism hung darkly over the party. This We hoped to avoid and for the time being We fondly believed the much de- sired end had been reached. The re- publican cluo met in mass meeting and a ticket containing ffty-four reputable names was submitted to the people from which county delegates and alter mates were to be selected at the prima- ries. It was understood in submitting these fiity-four rames that the voters were to be privileged, without bias or influence, to make their own selections of the party representatives. Unfortu- nately this was not to be so. The same old spirit of mischief has again cropped up and the same desire to rule or rum has manifested itself in fixed" ticket, concocted in spirit of mischief and in tended to create party strife and party division at the polls. We regret this. It is contrary to the purpose and inter est of the republican club under whose auspices the coming campaign was being initiated and prosecuted. That the peo- pie are tired of these efforts to destroy party unity is evidenced by the wave of indignation this attempted liking" has provoked, and further by repudiation of the ticket by many whose names had been placed thereon without consent or consultation with the parties them selves. We deeply deplore this meddle- some spirit and trust that the last has been heard of if.

THE YACHT RACE

LONDON, Sept. 1.-The Pail Mall Ga zette publishes letter from Bsnkok Siam, saying there IS the greatest ex- citement over the reported statement that the king is dead. It is asserted that the king is suffering from fever and cannot recover. On his death the dura- ton of his dynasty will probably cease.
 DARTMOUTH, Sept. 1.-The Vigilant and Satanita started today in 5 mile rare over triangular course. The Vigi- lat got the best of the race but was 46 seconds behind at the end of the first round
 Later.-The Satanita has been lowed in, having given up the race. It is pre- su ned that the VigileGt did tho same thing, both yachts having been becalmed for long time.
 The Vigilant was awarded the prize.
