CoNN0R HELD FOR MURDER.
The COrOner's Jury Finds No Justif-
cation For the killing.

Augusta, Ga, June 22.-The killing of
Ben Blackwell on June by Edward Con-
nor was reviewed before Magistrate
John Vaughan to-day, and resulted in
binding over Conner on the charge of muir
der. Connor was employed at the cleo
trio light company, and it was at the
power house the killing took place Black
well and Connor We're both young men,
scarce q. Blackwell was married to a
girl of II and was jealous of COnnor, who,
tive to Mrs. Blackwell In her testimony
Mrs. Blackwell said she and Blackwell
had been separated from each other about
a week before the killing because Black
wen would not work and could not sup
port her She denied any improper at
tention from Connor, but admitted that
she had said she could get a divorce from
Blackwell and marry Conner whenever
she wanted to. Blackwell had found a
silk handkerchief belonging to Connor in
his wifes possession, and Conner had
Mrs. Blackwelrs watch. Blackwell went
TO the electric light power house to re-
turn this handkerchief and demand his
wife's watch when the killing occurred
There were some words between the men
and Connor claimed that Blackwell was
advancing on him with a drawn knife
when he shot him. Blackwell had no
weapon but a knife that was found closed
in his pocket after he had been killed
The case excited much interest and the
hearing was largely attended.

CROPS IN MISSISSIPPI.
A superabundance of Rain Having "a
Bad Effect.

Jackson, Miss, June 22-During the
past two weeks there has been scarcely
day without a heavy rain, and no day
in which the sun has had an unobstructed
chance at the growing crops. The con-
sequence is farmers are beginning to
"growl." The grass is growing rapidly
and the land is too wet to work. This
being Saturday, a large number of farm
ers were in the city Every one inter-
viewed said the rain was injuring cotton,
and two or three said their corn was
turning yellow from standing in the wa
ter.
Cotton this year is small for the sea-
son. 1t should be high, whereas in many
fields it is not knee high In the first
place, planting was two weeks late, and
on account of the cold, backward spring
cotton did not come up well. In many
frost and 'replanting was necessary, so
that the crop got poor start. 1t is not
thought the cotton acreage in this imme-
date section is materially reduced, but
every farmer has planted more land than
ever in corn rice, potatoes sugar cane
and other food crops, with the idea that
If the great staple is only cents he will
be able to get along with very little cash
during the Writer and Spring Just now
the promise is for the largest corn crop in
the history of Mississippi. The same may
be said of al other crops These are de-
auctions drawn from interviews with the
most prominent farmers of this and adjoin-
ing counties.

OUT OF His own POCKET
Lamont Offers to Advance $4,000
to Pay Off the Army.
No Other Funds Are Availa BILE and
He VIII Trust TO Congress
for Reimbursement.

As has been stated in The Times, the
failure of Congress to make adequate
appropriation for the pay of thearmy during
the last fiscal year, caused a suspension
| of payment OF salaries tn a large portion
| of the service for the month of June.
Paymaster General Stanton stretched every
possible point, but, notwithstanding his
| efforts, the funds on hands were mt suffi-
| cient AS a result, Officers and men who
have not been paid could only wait until
| Congress meets to appropriate money for
| them.
Senator Harris. of Tennessee, was In Sec-
| retary Lamont's office yesterday when
Paymaster General Stanton entered and
began his explana ton of the financial con-
| dition OF the service, referring particularly
to the lack OF funds for the month OF June.
| Secretary Lamont asked General Stanton
what amount would be necessary To pay
off all the June salaries.
''oh, something like $50, ,00o," replied
General Stanton.
IF you could borrow that amount" said
the Secretary, would it. be sufficient"
You get me the money, Mr.. Secretary,
and I'll make the payment all right" said
the paymaster.
well, I'm thinking about advancing IT
myself" replied Mr.. Lam
There was gasp of astonishment from
Gen. Stanton and Senator Harris.
Il mean it," continued the Secretary.
THE Army ought to be paid, and the sooner
they geti the better"
II can only say, Mr.. Secretary said
Gen. Stanton, who had by this time recov-
cred his voice, that if you find me the
money 1 shall make arrangements to pay
off the officers and men Who did not receive
their salaries for the month of June
1t is the general expectation of those
who know the Secretary that he will sup
ply the paymaster general with check
from his personal account for $50, 900, and
when Congress convencs will depend upon
ii to reimburse him.

Said to re Doing w ell.

There will be two games of ball between
the Senators ard Browns at National PARK
this afternoon The first one will be called
at O'Clock sharp.
Boswell had not arrived at noon, but he is
fully expected to be here In time for work
to-day. Joe Corbett, who went to Scranton
10 play haDdbail with Champion Jim against
couple of local nien there, is also expectes
back before the Senators take the field,
and he will probably pitch one game, Bos-
well the other
Selbach, who, it was expected, would
play in left yesterday, but. whose shake-up
with Schiebcck made him 60 sore that be
could not, " Ill be in the game to-day. he
is pretty badly brokenh up yet.
Mercer is down TO play short again this
afternoon, and Abbey viii again occupy
the right garden, with nimbe Tom Brown
in center. Tom has put up great ball in the
two games he has played here, and both
have been ties. He will help all he can to-
have a decision In favor of the Senators
to-day.
Crooks fingers are still in bad shape, but
he viii do business at his old sta nd this aft
ernoon. and Bill Joyce will hold down thire
as usual.
Treasurer Wagner talked Interestingly
to Times reporter this morning. While he
had not much to say about the work of the
Senators this season, he could not refrain
from saying that the bad luck the team has
met in getting men broken up and the dread
full umpire have had n great deal to do with
keeping them near the tail end.
Speaking of Lush, who is To ccme to the
Senators on Monday. Mr. Wagner grew
enthusiastic. He believes this young man
10 be the making of the best outfielder in
the country. He says that with httlo
more experience Lush will be the equal,
II not the peer, OF the famous Fogarty,
who was conceded to be the bert fielder
in his day in the bare ball business.
Spea king of the doubt of the truth uf
his statement that he was trying and had
been continually trying to strengthen the
Senators. Mr.. Wagner said he would give
his check for S25,O00 to-day if he could
get five men such "a he could choose from
the League players, but the clubs that
bad them simply would not part with
them. II was not the fault OF the Washing
ton management that the Senators are not
a stronger combination than they are. The
clubs that had such players as be needed
and wanted would not part with them at
any price.
