QUAY FOR REED.
He Unhesitatingly Says So at Philadel-
phia.

Phi adelphia, October SS. - Senator
Quay was asked today if the reports sent
from New York that he favored Reed
for PRESIDENT were true, and he said
they were. When asked if Mckinley was
his second choice. Mr.. Quay replied:
Mckinley or some other suitable oandi-
date: it's too early yet to tell who will be
the strongest candidate. That will de-
mend on the choice of some other states,
New York for instance.

DR.. Young, secretary Of the State Board
of Health, has been in receipt of reports
from Rockland during the prevalence of
diphtheria in that CITY and has made a
visit there to see for himself what is the
real condition of affairs. DR.. Young is
able to report that the disease is of a mild
character and while there have been be-
tween twenty and thirty cases, the deaths
have numbered only four or five. The
latest reports from Rockland are to the
effect that there have been only a few
new cases in the past week. The disease
seems to be dying out, gratifying con-
dition of things largely due to the
vigilance of the local board of health and
the CO operation of the Rockland citizsns.
The diphthsria seems to have been spread
by pupils in one of the schools who were
allowed to attend after they had been
taken sick, the disease being of so mild a
character that it was regarded only as a
species OF sore throat.

Winter Wheat Suffering.

st. Louis, October 2S.-The continued
drought of the last few days weeks is
causing great deal of damage to the
winter wheat crop throughout the south
west The farmers fear that much of the
acreage will be entirely ruined and talk
of replanting is already being indugled
in. Owing to tho shortage of the crop
and the great reproduction of corn,
an immensely increased acreage of win
ter wheat was planted, and much of it
has not come up at all. On the highlands
particularly, the ground is entirely dried
out, owing to the continued absence of
rain, and plowing, as consequence, has
been entirely stopped.
No Rain for Month.
Columbus, Ohio, October 2S-The farm
crs of Ohio are becoming greatly alarmed
over the probable effees of the long con-
tinued drought on the wheat crop for
1886 Most of the wheat in this state was
sown in August and early September
and the general light rains enabled it to
sprout and get fair start. There has
been no rain of any consequence, how
ever, for a month, and the growth of the
wheat has been greatly retarded.
Michigan suffers Badly.
Detroit, Mich, October 2S.-Michigan
in common with the other states, has
suffered from the drought and the pros
poets of good winter crop are anything
but promising.

Augusta, October 2S.-The state fish
commissioners planned to raise a great
many young salmon this year with which
to stock the lakes and ponds Last year,
something less than a million eggs were
Matched in the state hatcheries and this
year it was the intention to make the
number fully 100000 but the long
drought may prevent. Last nights rain
will help matters some and a good
driving storm would make it easy for the
commissioners to carry ut their plans
At the hatcheries at Edes Falls, Lake
Auburn and Weld Pond, there are weirs
in which the parent fish are caught
They are then taken to the hatcheries
where the eggs are collected and Matched.
The parent fish are returned to the
waters. Now the long drought has SO
lowered the water in the streams that it
begins to look as if the salmon would not
| ascend them in as large numbers as
usual. Still the commissioners expect
that there will be gooily number of
young salmon raised and a rain that
would replenish the ponds and streams
would make it possible secure the in
tended 1900, 900 of the fish. The COM
missioners this year have put fish into
sixty ponds and lakes.

The railroad commissioners will not
travel great deal this week.. Next week
occurs their regular monthly meeting
and they hope then to be able to settle
the matter of the Gorham electric road.
The Ashland branch of the Bangor and
Aroostook, it is now believed, will be
ready for traffic about the first of Janu-
ary. The contracts for the road, which is
about forty seven miles long, We're let in
five mills sections and one of these
sections about in the middle OF the line,
has not been completed ready for the
rails. So theEiron has been laid only on the
first fifteen miles. 1t is now thought that
the work of laying rails, may be resumed
in time to get them all down by the
middle of December.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. Sept. 27.-All ST..
Joe is mysutied by the sudden disappear
ance of two young girls, without shad-

they have been abducted, and that is the
general theory. The disappearance of
which the police have latest learned il
that of Dora Kennedy. IA years of age,
the daughter of workman in the rail-
road shops. She has been absent from
homo since Wednesday morning, but the
authorities were not infsrmed until to-
day. As in the case of Maud Steidel,
who disappeared last Sunday. the m iss-
ing girl has droppsd out of sight as mys-
teriously as ii swallowed by sne earth.
the friends of the famili of the girls
and their near relatives hold that only
mad infatuation for the priest now
charged with having induced Maud Stei-
del to leave her home could have beef
the cause of her disappearance, and that
the other. similar feeling, resort to
some deception or force, could have been
responsible for the going of Dora Ken
needy.
The public is at a white heat with in
dignation.

OF apducting the Steidel girl, has asked

that has threa tened to lynch him. He
still protests that he knows nothing of

Spain must crush the Cuban rebellion

is the significance OF series Of confer
ences held between Secretary Olney and

she must expect the United States gov
eminent to pursue quite different pol

one more chance to demonstrate her abiI-
ity to rule the island, and failing in this
the United STAGES government will take
the leadership IN International lnterven-
ton. with the com plete autonomy, and
perhaps the Independence, OF Cuba as
the objective point. The conferences
were held at the request of Secretary
Olney. who asked Senior Dupuy de LONE
for a full statement OF the condition Of
affairs IN Cuba. the intentions of the
Spanish government, its ability to protect
American citizens and their property,
and the prospects of suppressing the in

to the city. When near the park the two
poys drove up in rig and asked the
offcer what he was going to do with the
calf. lie replied that he scarcely knew.
but he thought be would take it to town.
Harley had gotten out of the rig. and said
that the animal belonged to him and he
wanted it. He was asked where he had
gotten it. but failed to give a satisfactory
reply. Finally Jordan told his compsn.
ion TO take the calf, and got out of the
rig ana picked up several rocks to throw
at Mr.. Hutchins. The latter threw Oman
his coat and showed his star. and also
drew his revolver, telling the younester
that he was under arrest.

officer took after him. They went throu. h
the park. but at last Mr.. Hutcbjns
caught up with him. and then began

the boy into submission and walked
him back to the wagon, where Haley was
sun standing. The boys were taken to
the police station, where Jordan was
charged with disturbing the peace and
Haley held on Suspicion. 1t is understood
that charge of cattle stealing will be

Proposition to Make Negroes Ineligible for
TENDERS OF the Legislature--The
Measure Voted Down

tional debate vas had in the constitu-
tionsl convention over a measure pro-
posed by Colonel Robert Aldrich of Barn
we'll. that IN all elections for mem bers of
the legislature only white citizens should
be eligible. He made an ingenious argu-
ment to show that while the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to the United
states constitution conferred thu right of
citizenship and suffrage upon the negro,
it did not confer upon him the right to
hold Office.
Senator Tillman led the light against
the measure and said it would be both
foolish and idiotie to do such thing.
A motion was made to postpone the
discussion until tomorrow, but Senator
Tillman jumped TO his Iest and loudly
exclaimed: mo, don't let il go to the
world that we even took time to con-
slider such thing. 1t would be colos-
sal blunder. 1t would ruin us. We are
now trying to devise law TO etain
white supremacy, he said, land for
Gods sake. don't let us do anything so
ldiotic as to leopardize what We may &C
complish. The supreme court would
never sanction such a thing nor would

ance it,
Aldrich tainted Tiilman with being
afraid that the United States army would
be sent to South Carolina, and said he

afraid.
