Some Figures that VIII BE of Interest to
Sheep-Owners.
BosToN, Sept. 1.-The National AS
sociation of Wool Manufacturers will
publish in its September bulletin the
results of its Investigations concerning
the wool clip for 1895. The wool
product is put at 294, 296, 726 pounds,
washed and unwashed, including 40,-
600, 900 pulled wool, against 325, ,21O,-
712 pounds in 1894 Reduced to
a secured basis, the total product
is placed at 125. 5.71S, 500 pounds.
The number of sheep on the 1st
of April is estimated at 80, 949.-
3Ss, and the average weight of fleece
was 6,395 pounds, the slight variation
arising chiefly from the reduction in
weight in Pennsylvania, Colorado and
Oklahoma. In most cases where the
weight of feeces has been reduced
there will also be reduction In the
shrinkage between the condition of
the wool as sheared and its secured
state. This is caused in most instances
by the crossing of merinos with other
breeds, the result being a fleece of less
weight and containing less yolk or
suint. and therefore of lighter shrink
age, although the change has in some
cases resulted from dry season.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Crop Report.

|
Nashville, Aug. 3O-Tbe past week
was characterized by generally high
temperature and plenty of sunshine,
with quite deficiency in rainfall in
some parts of the State, although good
rains were reported on the Goth and 25th
in portions of the central and western
divisions, and generally throughout the
eastern division, where as much as two
and half inches fell during the week
at some places. In the central division
the rains were mostly confined to some
of the southern and southwestern coun-
ties, where, at one or two stations, as
much as three inches fell in one day
the Goth. The rain of this date is re-
ported a. scattered stations throughout
the State and ranged from the above
amount to merely trace. In the west
ern division the greatest amount re-
ported was half an inch, and this in the
southwestern portion; in others it was
mentioned as light and scattered, yet it
is reported to have been very beneficial.
Where there was sufficient moisture the
high temperature kept vegetation in
fine state of growth, and but little COM
plant comes from the sections favored
with sufficiency of rain and sunshine.
The generally bright weather was favor
able for farm work, and where the
ground was in proper condition there
was much plowing for fall seedlings. In
many places, however, the ground is
getting too dry, and farmers will have
to wait on soaking showers to make
much progress with this portion of fall
work. In sections not favored with re-
freshing showers, the effect of the high
temperature and sunshine is beginning
to be very severely felt in the failing
conditions of growing and maturing
crops, especially late corn and cotton.
The former being materially lessened
in prospective yield, and in some places
ruined, while the latter shows the dam
aging effects of drouth by shedding its
forms freely.
Another growing crop that is feeling
the effects of dry weather is the late
crop of Irish potatoes, which was plant
ed under such favorable conditions.
Similar conditions affected the early
crop and cut it short.
Early corn is reported safe, with an
extraordinary crop in view.

SYSTEMATIC STEALING.
Chicago Robbed to the Amount of nlii.
lions by "Bliud' Water Pipes.

1IOn6 Dy "1tHud w ater HIpeHs
CHICAGO, Sept. 2-Ample evidence
of systematic stealing of city water by
means of 'blind" pipes has been discov-
cred in the Union stock yards. The
benefciaries have been certain pack
ers, and the investigation, which has
only just begun, is expected to dis
close wholesale secret tapping of the
mains in the old town of Lake, in
which the stock yards are located.
Subordinate officials of the water
department, acting under secret or
ders of the commissioner of public
works, and assisted by gang of
workmen, discovered six-inch pipe
from a city main TO one of the big
packing houses, which was diyerting
water from the meter.
It is estimated by the investigators
that the city has lost millions of dol
lars in water revenues by reason of
the secret appropriations of water for
many years. The investigation is
hampered by the fact that there are
no maps of the town of Lake water
system and it may be necessary to un-
cover four miles of mains and cut off
every pipe leading to the stock yards
territory to stop the suspected leak S.

Tirebugs at NIiddletoa.

Incendiarism was the cause of what
came near being very serious confa-
grafton at Middleton last week. At
about 5 o'clock in the morning smoke
was seen issuing from the barn of j. d.
Sasser, Jr. Half an hour before this
the cook was out near the barn and
MIXED the cows. When she returned
to the house she said something about
smelling coal oil at the barn, but no at
tention was paid to it. There seems to
be some person or persons in or about
the community that have mania for
burning houses. A. Fl. Beck had barn
burned recently.

A FRIEND IN NEED.
The Belmont Morgan Syndicate still
Standing by the United States
Treasury Gold Reserve


WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-It is gener-
ally recognized here in official circles
that the acknowledgment syndicate
will not permit the treasury gold re-
serve to fall below the 500, 00O 900
mark. Four times they have come to
the rescue when such result would
have followed constant drains on the
reserve for shipment to Europe.
Yesterday, at the last moment, the
syndicate deposited 81 100000 in gold
in exchange for legal tenders, without
which the gold reserve would have
dropped below the limit.
At 1870 o'clock Assistant Treasurer
Jordan at New York telegraphed that
so, $50, 900 in gold had been withdrawn
for export to Europe. This reduced
the treasury gold reserve to s99, 456,-
GA.
At 1886 o'clock telegram from Mr..
Jordan announced that the syndicate
had deposited $1,000, 600 in gold, which
raised the treasury gold to s100,456,-
354.
So far the syndicate has deposited in
excess of the gold required for its s62,
400, 900 in bonds nearly $40, 900, 600 to
keep the reserve intact
