the first of his series of Kentucky

violence, as well as insult, to the sec

Ex-sPEAKER CRISP DEAD.

The Eminent Georgia Statesman Carried
on saddealy ~ Heart Disease.
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 24.-Charles +.
Crisp. the ex-Speaker Of the House Of
Representatives, died here yesterday
afternoon very suddenly and unexpect-
eddy. He had long been troubled with
heart disease, but had not recently
been in bad health.
The end came at las o'clock. Mr..
Crisp had been an inmate of the sani-
tarium of DR.. Holmes in this city for
several weeks. His condition had been
reported as very low, but no fatal con-
clusion to his illness had been expected
SO soon. When a rumor got abroad
several days ago that he was sinking,
it was vigorously denied at the sani-
tarlum, where it was given out that he
was getting better.
Mr.. Crisp was the choice of the
Democrats of Georgia to succeed Sem
ator John B. Gordon in the United
States Senate and would have been
chosen to that position by the legis-
1ature at its approaching session had he
lived. His untimely death throws the
political situation into chaos, and
makes the choice of senator a matter
of great uncertainty. The legislature
is almost unanimously for free silver,
however, and whoever is named will be
an advocate of that policy. Mr.. Crisp
had been at the Holmes sanitarium five
weeks, suffering from malarial fever.
The immediate cause of his death was
heart failure.

POTATO CROP NOT LARGE.

Good Authority Estimates 1t 10000
900 Bushels Less Than Last Year.
CHICAGO, Oct. a4.-The Orange Judd
Farmer says: A smaller acreage and a
decreased rate of yield are resulting in
a decidedly smaller and more manage
able crop of potatoes. The amount
available for market is by no means as
burdensome as was the crushing crop
of 1895. The crop is 2i5, 4sO. 900 bushels,
a decrease of more than $4,000, 600
bushels or 1714 per cent compared with
a year ago. The Canadian crop is
IS, 3OO, 900 bushels, decrease of nearly
100000 bushels compared with 1895.
In view of the shortage on this side of
the ocean and the smaller crop in Ger
ma Y and England, the outlook for
prices to farmers is certainly better
than a year ago.
