THE MAPLE SUGAR CROP.
n,oeprcrc OF A SMALL. SUPPLY on ACCOUNT
OF PROLONGED COLD wEATHER-PRES-
rSr AND PROSPECTIVE PRICES.

The mamie sugar crop. according TO a telegraph
a,.,atch from Burlington Vt. s likely TO be short
ths season on account OF the prolonged prevalence
q, cold weather whch has retarded the "o'k o'
taking the sap from the trees Several rins IN 'h''
city which handle this product extensively "efe q'e
,,ored On the subject by Tribune reporter yester
dav None Of them had received any definite notice
=, nrospectve deficiency. but all thought IL prooa
~. ,hat the crop would be small as the season woud
he unusually short A member OF one OF the hrms
which makes n specially of maple sugar SAID; Inc
sea son for tapping the trees and drawing thcr syrup
extends from about March ID TO April 10 under favo
ahe conditions Mid weather II needed. and II
eevorelv cold weather causes delay In tapping the
,roes there s danger that the work cannot be finished
,,,u tho weather becomes too warm to continue
~ Last wear the season lasted only about one week
and the crop was exceedingly small None OF thiS
seasons crop has been received here yet Maple
sugar OF last years crop which has recently been
selling for I2ik cents pound at wholesale Is now
from 70 II cents a pound. and syrup Is 10 cents
oalon In an ordinary season the average price OF
tho sugar is about cents pound and OF the syrup
about 60 cents "A gallon.
Nearly all of the maple sugar received In this
market comes from Vermont. although some comes
from Canada and a little from the northern part OF
this State Ohio produces large quantity. but none
OF IL Is handled here. The annual receipts In this
city range from twenty-five to fifty carloads which
| average about fifteen tons each. The farmers ship
about per cent OF their crop In sugar and about 10
| per cent in sap syrup This syrup. however. has
been only slightly boiled. and will keep only short
time Most OF the sugar received here Is boiled down
| by firms that make a business OF H. but some Of
| the keepers OF large hotels and restaurants make
| the syrup they themselves. IL the syrup Is
properly made and put up In ar-tight cans or Jars
| 1t will keep for many years without deteriorating
In quality There Is only little syrup used In sum
| mer and that is mainly consumed by manufacturing
| confectoners Most Of the sugar is kept IN Yer
mont until autumn The present crop will not begin
to arrive here before about April l5 or May l. The
size of the crop win not be known I'LL the sap has
been drawn and boiled down into sugar II will not
| be large When the new crop begins TO come In the
prices OF the old stock OF sugar and syrup now ON
| hand will probably decline considerably.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 1.-The re-
newal of the strike at the Brown hoist
ing works resulted in bloodshed today.
The trouble began early in the
morning, when mob surrounded the
house of one of the non-union work
men, and bombarded it with stones and
bricks, breaking the windows and even
smashing The weather boards. The pc
lice, hearing of this trou,ble, prepared
for an outbreak at noon when the nom
union men should be dismissed from
work A party of these workmen disre-
garding the efforts OF the police to pro-
tect them, starsed to walk away from
the works. They had not gone far
When they were met by a mob.
First the rioters began TO shout at
the non-unionisls and then to throw
bricks.
And then workingnen drew revolvers
and began shooting at the crowd.
Several shots were fired, but only one
took effect, John Prime, foundryman,
fell to the ground shot through the
body, and was taken to the hospital.
Soon after the shooting, the police
arrived on the scene, but the mob had
disappeared and all was quiet. This
outbreak resulted in the calling out OF
two companies of militia, and by the
middle of the afternoon eighty police
men, in addition to the military, had
been massed in the vicinity of the
Brown works. No more trouble oc-
CURED. 1t is thought that a long and
bitter struggle will ensue. The manager
of the Brown works says the agreement

of the strikers, and the company stood
ready to live up to its terms.
The violation of the agreement by the
men, he says, absolves the company
from any frrcher consideration Of them,
and enables it to begin all over on
new basis.
This is taken to mean that the COM
pany will proceed to hire new men.

BUT A SHORT TIME.
General Belief That Victoria VIII
Not Reign Much Longer

General Belief That Victoria Will
Not Reign Much Longer.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-[Copyrighted,
1885, by the Associated Press. 1.-The
persistent rumors circulating in regard
to the health of Queen Victoria and
heq intention to retire, almost inmedi-
ately, in favor of the Prince of Wales,
nave caused quite a sensation in court
and other circles. While it is admitted
that such reports have become current
frequently in previous years, there is
no denying that her majesty's declin-
Ing health is causing much anxiety,
and it is generally believed that her
retirement rom pubic life is only a
question of short time. According
to the programme the queen, when not
on the continent, will reside either at
Osborne or at Balmoral, and will turn
over Windsor castle and Buckingham
palace for the use of the Prince and
Princess of Wales. The prince may
not be declared regent, but may exer-
else the duties of such position to all
1ntents and purposes according to the
reports in circulation.
1t is believed that the rurnors of the
approaching retirement of her majesty
gained much strength from statements
attributed to her during her last visit
to this city, upon the occasion of the
marriage of Princess Maud OF Wales to
Prince Charles of Denmark The
queen was then said to have repeatedly
stated that it was her last visit to Lon
don and to this cause is partly at
tributed her majesty's deep emotion
when acknowledging the cheers of the
crowds lining the route from the palace
to the railroad station by her majesty
where she took the train for Windsor.
Tears were seen to be coursing down
the queens cheeks and there were
other evidence that she was deeply af-
fected by the loyalty and sympathy dis
played on all sides.
