Value of tho nis Corn Crop.

Cleveland LEADER Small fry econo-
mists who jump at conclusions and are
inclined to look at the dark side of
things, say that the greatest corn crop
ever grown is not going to pay the
farmers Of the United States as well as
the short crop of last year. They for
tify this gloomy assertion by statistics
which show that the biggest of all big
crops, IL sold at the prices now ruling
and likely to rule, would bring less
money to the men who grew the corn
than they would have received If the
small crop of 1894 had been mrketed at
the quotations current year ago in
the large cities. In other words, the
fall in price is held to more than offset
the increase of a billion bushels or
more in the yield. This is nonsense.
Not more than 20 per cent of large
corn crop, in the United States, is ever
moved out of the counties in which the
grain is grown. Farm animals eat it
where it is produced.

Bishop Willmar of Alabama is not
in attendance upon the convention, but
he is well represented by his anecdotes,
which are related by churchmen much
as Lincolns stories are by the general
public. Here is one of them: One Of
the bishops friends lost dearly be-
loved wife, and in his sorrow caused
these words to be inscribed on her
tombstone: THE light of mine eyes
has gone OUT The bereaved husband
married within year. Shortly after
ward the bishop was walking through
the graveyard with another gentleman.
When they arrived at the tomb the lat
ter asked the bishop what he would
say of the present state of affairs in
view OF the words on the tombstone.
II think" said the bishop, the
words, But 1 have struck another

CARMEL, N. Y, Nov. S0.-An acct
dent resulting in the loss of thirteen
or fourteen lives occurred at the Tiley
Foster mine little later than O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. Foreman Pat
rick Murths was docending into the
pit TO take the time of two gangs of
labOrers, numbering about thirty-six
men, who were working at the bottom,
when vast weight of earth and rock
slid NTH the force of an avalanche
from the mought OF the pit to the
bottom. a distance of about 800 feet.
The earth crashed over the men with
tremendous force. Out of a gang OF
aeyen only five came out alive, and
three of the'men employed in another
gang we're taken out dead. The acct
dRk is supposed to have been caused
principally by the heavy rains, which
opened crevices in many places. The
nine is owned by the Lackawanna
company OF New York and Scranton,
Pa.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Dec. "A special
from Atlanta says: There is much
mystery about supposed lynching
in Dooly. One officer of the court,
w. Il. Sangates, W ent into the country
near Unsdllla to serve a warrent on
Tony Sutton. who is regarded as Il
desperate. Sutton, his father and
two brothers were at a cane mill. They
resisted arrest, a fight followed
and Sungates was killed. Tony fled.
The father and brother were arrested,
but were liberated on condition that
they give Tony up. The officers
started for Unadilla. A mob took
him from them and since then no
trace of Sutton has been found.
Henry Sutton, the youngest brother,
has also disappeared and it is feared
he has been lynched. Governor AT
kinson is doing all in his power 10

LOUISVILLE. Ky, Nov. 26.-The
highest gale ever recorded in Louis
vile swept over the city last night,
the wind reaching velocity ofseventy
miles an hour. Signs, awnings and
chimneys were blown down. Plate
glass windows were broken and a
great amount of small damage done,
although at midnight no serious
trouble was reported. The barometer
was down to within .03 of the point
at which the tornado ofi890 occurred.
Telegraph and telephone poles were
blown down and outside communi-
cation was badly interrupted.
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1895-12-05

cumulations OF sleet and snow broke
down wires OF all sorts. In the bus
mess district telegraph and telephone
wires are underground, but in the
outskirts they are carried on poles.
The weight was so great in many
places that the poles were broken aud
went down with the wires. Even
the heavy trolley wires were unable
to Withstand the strain and were min
pied in extricable confusion with the
telegraph and telephone system, in
Guiding the city police and fire alarm
wires. Finally the postal company
secured Intermittent communication
between this city and Cleveland. over
which the Associate Press managed
to get little news, and both that COM
pany and the Western Union had
communication with St. Louis and
were accepting the Association Press
news and general business. The
Chicago and Milwaukee telephone
also got up its wires between the
board of trade and Milwaukee and
business was moving. Altogether it
was the most complete Geographic
isolation which this city has suffered
Tor many years. Freight traffic from
every direction by railway was practi-
caily blocked, and all passenger SER
vice, including tue suburban trains,
was much delayed even inside OF the
city, in spite of every effort.

lex ON IRISH STEW.
Sow Issue being Raised at Harvard
University.

Sow Issue being Raised at Harvard
University.
A new issue has been raised at Har"
yard which promises to eclipse in i'm
oortance the question of athletic rela-
ions with Yale.
This is the year of prohibitions at
Harvard. Athletic contests with Yale
are prohibited, the gun shoot with
Ills is prohibited, the Christmas
trip of the glee club is prohibited, and
now it seems likely that "the use of
Irish stew in Memorial hall" will be
prohibited also, says the Boston Post.
The enemies Of this homelike and
wholesome dish come from the aris-
socratic portion of the college popula-
ton who are accustomed to eating
French dishes from silver platters in
the homes of the Back Bay. They
have started vigorous crusade and
are pledged to the total abolition OF
this old clearinghouse friend
The students are forming themselves
into two parties, the Irish-stewists and
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The anti
lrlsh-stewists posted a petition on the
bulletin board at Memorial yesterday,
expressing in no uncertain language
the cause of their grievance and the
reasons which have led up to the pres-
ent vigorous campaign. The petition
was promptly removed by the Memoir
ial Hall management, as it is against
the rules to have editions posted in the
main entrance, where they cause
crowds to collect and block the pass
age way. The anti Irish stewists,
however, were not to be SO easily put
down, and a regulation blue book has
been placed in the auditors office for
signatures. Tho platform on which
the "antis" will stand or fall has been
drawn up as follows: I'VE believe
that the use of Irish stew should be
discontinued In Memorial Hall The
stew is disagreeable in taste, and to
many men who simply connot eat 1t
is an item Of expense since 1t requires
the ordering of extras The time lost
in waiting for extras is seriously felt
by men having lectures both at IL
o'clock and at 1870. We appreciate the
wish of the directors to give as great
a variety of food as possible but dis
like this special variety. Finally, we
believe that food which is, as the first
petition showed, Objectionable to near
ly 200 men, should be no longer served
in Memorial Hall" in Justice to the
lrish-stewists, it should be said that
many Of the signatures placed on the
bulletin board were put there merely
as a joke. Such prominen. names as
George Washington, Benedict Arnold
and Theodore Roosevelt are said tC
have been among the signatures. A
director Of the Harvard Dining Asso

In the course of his remarks he said
he believed the money questson had
been settled by the practical agree
ment that sound money was best for
all. The first duty of the hour, Mr..
Carnegie said, was to provide ade-
quate revenues for the government.
He deolaned that the government was
being robbed of one-third eff the reye-
nues which it assumed to assess
through differentiation unner I'D va
loren duties. If the specific duties
could be restored he was certain there
would be no more deficit In the revc-

would not veto such measure if II
was TO be passed.

New Battieships to lie Built-The West
Coast Favored.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Senator Squire
of Washington is interesting himself TO
secure if possible, contract for some OF
the new naval vessels provided for at the
last session of congress, for his state.
The law provides that one of the two
battleships, and one Of the two torpedo
boats shall be built on the Pacific coast,
in case it should not appear that they cam
not be built there except at an exorbitant
figure, but makes no such specification as
to any of the six composite gunboats pro-
vided in the act. Squire has, however,
been assured that the people of the west
ern coast shall have an opportunity to put
in bids on these boats also.
There is only one institution on that
coast having facilities for building a bat
tleship, and that is located in San Fran
cisco, but the senator says the torpedo
boats and gunboats can be constructed on
Puget sound as economically as at any
other place. The bureau of construction
and repairs of the navy department will
have immediate control of the building
of the proposed vessels, and is already
considering plans for them. 1t is under
stood, however, that none of the specifica-
tions will be ready to submit to the pros
pective bidders for a month or six weeks.
The plans for the gunboats now receiv-
| ing tho attention of the officials contem-
plate boats 16s feet long, 341I feet wide, II
feet draught, giving a displacement OF $40
| tons. The bottoms are to be of wood,
covered with copper two feet above the
| water line. and above the copper with
steel. The keel is to be made of wood
with side frame of steel, and there is to
be an inside steel frame in the hull. There
is some doubt in the minds of the officials
whether such vessels can be built for the
amount appropriated, $4,000 for each
boat, and it may become necessary to re-
duce the dimensions in order to bring the
cost of construction within the appropri-
alton. The law permits the use of steel
or other metal of alloy in any OF the pro-
posed vessels. The name of the Kear
sarge will be revived for one of the battle
| ships.

Tom Ledfard Goes to tho Bat Again

BUTTE, April "A marriage license was
to-day issued to Thomas Ledford, aged
~, and Delna Dufour. aged ~. Ledford
is young fellow of more or less notoriety
in Butte, and this makes his third matr-
monial venture in the city. On Nov. .,
1890, he was married TO Gsrtie Martin b.
R.v. Squires lie gave his age ut that
time at 2l. Eight months later, in July,
1891, he was married to Nettie King by

Ledford has been IN the city ever since.
He told the marriage license clerk to-day
that he had secured divorces from his
former wives. and the record was made
10 read that way. but there Is no record in
the courts of this district to show that he
has ever been a party to'any divorce pro-
