New YORK, Aug. S.-The American
line steamer st. Louis, which arrived
yesterday afternoon. broke the South
ampton- New York record, making the
passage in days, hours and "a min
utes, thus eclpsing the brilliant record
made by her sister ship, the st. Paul,
last June of days, hours and 32 min
utes. The average speed of the st.
Louis through the voyage was 20.S67
knots per hour and her best days run
was $50 miles. The st. Louis has only
few hundred tons of cargo. She
brings, however, fairly large list of
first and second class passengers and

ure-Other state News.
COLUMBUS. o., Aug. S.-A bulletin
has just been issued by the Ohio depart
ment of agriculture which shows that
the recent heavy rains and windstorms
did thousands of dollars damage to the
crops in all sections of the state, the
greatest loss being sustained by farmers
in the southern section, on river bot
toms, where acres Of corn were COM
pletely submerged by high water. In
that section the crop is a total loss.
Over the state in general the oats crop
suffered severely, in some instances be-
ing ruined. The sheaves in the fields
are rotting and will be worthless for
market. The estimate is 81 per cent,
against l0l per cent last month. Much
had never been cut, and it Is impossible
to get a self binder into the fields.
A large quantity of very short wheat
crop had not gone into barns or stacks
when the heavy rains came, and all
standing in sheaf is damaged and much
of it ruined Average condition or per
cent is IL, reduction of four points
since last month. The potato crop has
been greatly damaged and many are
rotting in the ground.
The report says: This has been a
most disastrous season for farmers, who
have had to contend against winter kill
ing of wheat and later with water, wind
storms, insect pests, damaging maturing
crops. SO that the end of the year must
show very little if any profit"
Pastures are reported in excellent con-
dition.

THE BLlNN INSANITY CASE.
A Sister Adopts Extraordinary Tactics TO
Prevent IA Marriage.


TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. S.-The
trial of Sarah Blinn, whose sister, Char
lotte, seeks TO have her declared of un-
sound mind, in order to prevent a mar
riage with Francis NJ. Combs, or dis
posing of her property, or both, is at
tracing general attention. The family
is one of the oldest and most prominent
in the city, and the defendant has now
over $4,000 worth Of property in her
own right Combs. with whom she at
tempted to elope, is a widower and with
out cent.
The defense scored what they con-
slider material point in having exclud-
ed the testimony of DR.. Lyman Pike,
who for several years has been the de-
PENDANTS attending physician. Lawyer
Hamill objected to witness telling when
or how long he had treated Miss Blinn,
or what the nature and extent of her
ailment was. The ground of the OBJ
lection was that such knowledge should
be considered in the light of profes-
sional secret. Joseph Elder, who fol-
lowed DR.. Pike, has lived next door to
defendant for % years. He said he did
not believe her capable of managing
her own affairs, and said that her
mother during the latter's lifetime had
treated her as one of unsound mind.
