| BOSTON, Aug. 21.-Following is the
weather-crop bulletin for the week ending
Aug. 30, issued by the New England
weather service, in cooperation with the
Massachusetts and Maine state boards of
I agriculture:
! The weather for the week was generally
favorable in Maine, with moderate tenn
perature and occasional showers OF rain.
Except in places where the oat leaves have
been affected by the rust the grain crop is
pronounced heavy; it is lodged badly on
Bome fields The second crop of grass is
starting well and will be good; there is an
excellent catch of grass seed.
| There is still great want of rain in CEN
tral and southern New Hampshire. Many
correspondents say they have had no good
soaking rain this summer; showers have
come, but the rainfall has been local and
has furnished temporary relief only, with
out filing Up the ground Consequently,
during short period without rain, every
thing suffers. Wells and springs are
drying, and feed is extremely short
Cool nights and warm days have been the
rule in Vermont, and have been favorable
to potatoes, although this crop is rusting
y a considerable extent. The rust is not
evenly spread, and the potatoes are 50 far
advanced that no great injury is antici-
pated Frost has appeared on one or two
nights, but not enough to do any damage.
The conditions remain much the same
in Massachusetts,. Except where the few
local showers have occurred rain Is still
badly needed. Pastures are dry, and fall
grain promises exceptionally poor. Apples
hang on pretty well, and fair crop is in
dicated in most sections where not injured
by the spring frosts their quality is very
good. Corn stands the dry weather fairly
well, though there is some complaint Of
the leaves curling daily Tomatoes, Gu
oumbers, squashes etc, would be greatly
benefited by more moisture.
The drought continues unbroken in
Rhode Island wells are reported dry and
feed scarce. Some farmers are feeding
cattle from the barn.
A good rain occurred on the 18th and
10th In west central sections Of Connecti-
eut and moderate showers are reported in
the southeast counties; all crops have been
much improved, pastures are looking bet
ter, and the grass is starting IN the fields.

beneath the surface is augmented is,

be taken to average about degree for

THE BERLINER CASE.
Value Of the Patent Involved Esti-
mated ut $5,OOO,OOO.

The Berliner telephone case decided
against the Bell Company in Boston, as
telegraphed to yesterdays Star, has been
in the courts for "a number of years, and Is
already familiar to the public. The patents
known as the Berliner patents were issued
to the telephone company, but never put
into use by themp on account, they claimed,
of the expense Of making changes in the
telephone system, while other companies
were prevented from using the system.
The first ground of the bill brought by
the compliments in this suit is that the
patent is void, as being beyond the power
of the commissioners to issue. On this
point the decision of Judge Carpenter de-
clares lit appears that one of the functions
Of the device shown in the patents of 1880;
namely, the function of transacting articu-
late speech, is Identical with the sole object
or function OF the device covered by the
patent of 1891, and that the device for eff
fecting the transmission of sound is iden-
teal in both patents
The value of the patent involved is said
to be S5,OUO,0OO.
The governments case against the Bell
telephone contained two counts, and the
judge sustained the government in both
The first count was in effect that the issu-
ance of the patent to Berliner was unneces-
sarily delayed, and the second count was,
in substance, that a former patent issued
to Berliner covered substantially the same
| claims as made in the patent issued in 1891
The case was argued June IA, Is, 16, Is

New Field of Labor for DIR. Park
bursts Society.
DR.. Parkhurst has now determined on a
vigorous investigation of the New York
tenement houses, and in the near future
the world at lar &c may hear some startling
facts regarding these metropolitan bee
hives of humanity. The doctor declared
hinself at meeting Monday night of the
twenty-ninth assembly district council OF
the City Vigilance League in the New York
Congregational Church. DIR. Parkhurst, as
president of the league announced that the
question of who owns the tenement houses
would be searched into by the league.
He said it would be good thing to have
slabs, containing on their surface the own
er's name, placed over the door of every
tenement house. 1t would create row,
but force regeneration of these establish
ments.
DR.. Parkhurst said that since the slabs
could not be had, the City Vigilance League
was going 10 find out the name of the own
er of every piece of property in New \ ork
coming before the organization for con-
sideration. The plan Is under considera-
ton and would have been done years ago
If there had been men enough. The league
was dete mired to cover all Manhattan
Island with men to inspect tenementS.
"One of Gov Flowers few good acts.
said DR.. Parkhurst, was the appointment
of a commission to investigate the tene-
ment houses of this city, and these gentle
men, under the leadership of Mr.. Glider
have brought to light facts we were hardly
suspicious Of / very much regret that
facts have come out rejecting seriously
upon one of our churches, but let us not be
too harsh in our judgment of Trinity Cor
pOration, because very likely there are 9TH

secular organizations of repute. That sort
of work is what our enemies call smell

the response Of Mr.. Morgan, who is from
Chicago
After further heated discussion, the reso-
luton was adopted.
Chairman Hysell of the special commit
tee on the DebS decision made its report,
which was unanimously agreed to.
The report demands the immediate enact
ment of a law setting a limit beyond which
equity courts" may not go, and orders

advice looking to appealing of the cases to
the Supreme Court of the United States,
where the question of rights of the courts
