A MYSTERIOUS LETTER.
IL Explodes ia the Hands Of Baron
ROthschlIds' Clerk.

PARIS. FRANcE.-A serious attempt
has been made on the life of Baron Al.
phonse de Rothschilds. A large and
heavy envelope was received at the
bank Saturday, addressed to the baron
and was opened by M. Sadkowvitsk
the confidential clerk ofthe well-known
banker Just as the clerk opened the
envelope it exploded with great force
tearing his right eye out and blowing
of some of his fingers.
The police were hastily summoned
and an investigation vas commenced.
The remains of the strange package
was picked up and examined, with the
result that the police officials got the
opinion that the envelope was nothing
more than an Internal machine. Ii
consisted of strips of cardboard, lightly
bound together, and was quite bulky.
But there was nothing strange in its
appearance. Peculiarly constructed
envelopes of similar appearance are
frequently received at the banks and
are found TO contain money, securities
or valuable papers of various descrip-
tions. The cardboard envelopes Of
this package, it is presumed, contained
illuminate Of mercury so arranged that
when the outer covering was torn OF
an explosion occurred.

WILL THEY FIGHT ?
Governor CulbersOn Arranges TO OPP
pose COrbett and Fitz.

AUSTIN, TEx.-Gov. CulbersOn has
made public some correspondence be-
tween himself and Sheriff Cabell, Of
Dallas county, anent the Corbett-Fitz
simmons fight. The correspondence
was opened by Gov. Culberson inter
rogating the sheriff as to whether he
intended to abide by the decision OF
Attorney-General Crane, holding the
prize fighting law valid, and as to
whether it was his intention to exercise
all the powers vested in him to prevent
the fight. Sheriff Cabell's reply is,
that while he did not ask for the opin-
ion, that he is willing and viii abide
by it. That should a writ be placed
in his hands by the county attorney,
he would certainly serve it or, in case
no writ is issued and he is left to face
the issue alone, he will unhesitatingly
discharge his duties. He cites, how
ever, that the criminal statute defining
prize fighting makes it a misdemeanor,
and not felony, and asks the COVER
nor under such circumstances would
he be justified in using such force as
may be necessary, even il 1t secured
the shooting down Of citizens, and
would the governor advise such pro-
ceedings? The governor very prompt
ly replied that he would mot attempt to
answer that question but would refer II
to the attorney for his legal opinion,
which will be forthcoming shortly.

to render a decision on ex-senator

the ground that the peculiar language
OF the act takes the disbursement of
the appropriation out of the hands Of

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.
The weather bureau in it's report of
crop conditions for the week ending
Aug. l9, says: In the central valleys
and middle Atlantic States, the week
has been too dry and crops generally
have suffered, while in the Southern
States east of the Mississippi, excessive
rains have proved injurious. In the
principal corn States the early planted
corn has matured rapidly and some
has been cut in Missouri; in Iowa cut
ting will commence in about week.
Late corn has been somewhat injured
by drought during the week in Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, while Ne
braska, Wisconsin and Michigan re-
port an improvement. Tobacco has
suffered much from drought in Mary
land and continues poor in Ohio. In
Kentucky, while doing well, it
needs rain. The rains of the lat
ter end Of the week greatly
benefited tobacco in Virginia and it is
reported as improving in Tennessee.
In North Carolina the general condition
of the crop is excellent Over the
eastern portion of the cotton belt too
much rain has caused rust and shed
ding, while in central Texas and North
Louisiana there has been a slight i'm
prOvement. In Southern Texas cot
ton is suffering from drought
Picking has continued to limited ex-
tent in Texas and has begun in Georgia
aud Alabama. In Southern Mississippi
picking will begin next week. Ala
bama reports the first bale marketed
on the 14th. Spring wheat harvest is
nearly completed in Minnesota and
South Dakota, and about half done IN
North Dakota. Frost occurred in
Minnesota and North Dakota and Mon
tana on the 14th, causing slight injury
in the western part of North Dakota.
While the week has not been favorable
for fall plowing considerable has been
