For the GOsnal.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 30.-It is
given out here today on seemingly
good authority that Judge George
W. Murphy, the widely known Ark
ansas criminal lawyer. will soon quit
the bar and spend the remaining
years of his life in gospel work. This
will be piece of news to almost
everybody in Akansas, because Judge
Murphy enjoys probably a larger
circle of acquaitances in the South
than any of the public men of this
section He has long been 10 public
life, and has filed many offices of
trust and honor since his long resi-.
dence in this State.

THE CROP OF APPLES.

SAID to be $4,000, 900 Barrels Against
SO, O,5OO,OOO Barrels Last Year.
New York, Oct. 29-Throughout
the States of chief commercial pro-
duction, including New England and
New York, the crop of winter apples
is large, according to the special re-
port in the New England Homestead,
which places the aggregate yield at
q ehade under $4,000, 900 barrels for
all OF the United States, against co..
500, 900 barrels in 1895 and $1,000.
900 barrels two years ago.
This authority says the crop in
New England, New York, Michigan
and part of a few other States is
phenomenal. New England and New
York have over 100000 barrels
against little more than 100000
a year ago, while Michigan is har.
vesting the greatest crop of fine fruit
ever secured 10 that State. The re-
port covering the Central West,
however, shows that in many in
stances the crop is insufficient to
supply home requirements. The
Canada crop is among the largest on
record.
Exports from the Atlantic coast
are already 100000 barrels, third
more than all of last season, and the
foreign markets have capacity for
absorbing further vast quantities
before spring.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 3l.-Jim
Biggers, a farmer, was killed, West
Winkler, q merchant was fatally
shot and numerous others were
slightly wounded in a riot at Mount
Sterling this afternoon between sill.
YER democrats on one side and
sound money democrats and repub.
licans on the other.
Senator William Lindsay and ex.
Comptroller Of treasury Milton J.
Durham were to speak for the gold
cause, while the siver men had Allen
o. Myers of Cincinnati and Con.
gressman Logan Of Tennessee.
The gold men beat them in secur.
ing the court House, so the silver
men erected their stand opposite
the door and called their meeting
half an hour earlier than the time
set for sound money men could not
get into court house through the
crowd.
The drums used in the parade had
been given to some negro boys.
After Judge Cooper, a local free ell
YER leader, had taken the platform
and began to speak, the negro boys,
after getting some distance away
from the crowd commenced to beat
the drums.
This made the silver men mad.
A number of them thinking that
they had been put up to make the
noise in order to attract attention
from the silver speaking, ran after
the boys, knocked them down and
burst the heads out of the instru.
ments.
This crowd of silverites was led
by Bud Cockrell and the number of
gold men and republicans present
resented the act. Biggers approach.

slapped him in the face Winkler
drew his knife, which was the signal
for dozens of knives and pistols to
be flashed in the air.
Winkler stabbed Biggers fatally
and slightly cut his brother in the
head. Miller Anderson shot Wink
Ter several times through the arms
and ribs. Anderson was cut a. were
many others, including deputy Sher.
if Stockdell, who was trying to
quell the disturbance.
Such howl was set up after the
affair by the silver men that Judge
Durham did not attempt to speak.
Judge Lindsay failed to arrive.

Whatever may be said about the pub

there is no denying the truth that his pa

now entering its tenth year, largely in

cover artistically printed In colors, and is

for 1897 is series of II original, beauti-
fully engraved star maps, with explana-
atory chapters, which could not be
bought for less than five dollars in any

so correctly and faithfully warned the
public of drouths, floods, cold waves,
billiards., tornadoes land cyclones in the

The Net Earnings Will Amount to
About Million Dollars.
From the monthly report of the Santa
Fe for October, which has just been is
sued, it is stated that the road was never
in more prosperous condition. The net
earnings for last month alone, it is said
will reach one million dollars at least.
The large profits of the road for last
month are credited to the enormous
freight traffic business which the road
did during the month. The live stock
business for the month was larger than at
any time in the history of the road.
The gross earnings for the month are
estimated at considerable over $4,000, 900
and the net earnings will overreach one
million dollars.-Topeka Capital.
