QUEER FINANCIERING.

New York, Oct. 2l,-Mayor Wurster
and Comptroller Palmer of Brooklyn have
made the discovery that the debt limit
OF the city had been exceeded by the
recent issue OF bonds to the amount of
sl.407 ,000 and as consequence IL was
necessary for them to rescind the award
which was made to Blake Bros. and Har-
vey Ftske & Son, who were joint bidders
and who offered to take the entire issue.
This action on the part of the mayor
and comptroller was made. necessary
because OF the fact that it had been de-
cided by Corporation Counsel Burr that
the award of $4,000 to the Long Island
Water Supply company must he taken
from money realized from the sale OF
city bonds and not from money in the
sinking fund as had been expected. II
Will now be necessary for the mayor and
comptroller to readNertise for bids for
the sale Of bonds to comply with the new
condition OF things.

SPEEDY JOE PATCHEN.
Established a New Record For PAGERS
In Four Wheeled Sulky.

Joliet, Ills, oct 2l.-Without any prep
aration for such a trial. Joe Patchen,
the black pacing stallion yesterday re-
duced the worlds pacing record in a
four-wheeled sulky by nearly four sec
onds. The record was established at
ingalls, park track before 27O0 people who
had been attracted by the announcement
that Star Pointer would go against both
the wagon and high wheel sullky records.
and that Joe Patchen would try to beat
his own record OF 2:0lA When il was
announced that Star Pointer was lame
and owner Murphy had refused to let
him fulfill his engagement there was
much dissatisfaction. Mr.. Marks. the
owner of Joe Patchen. agreed to let the
black horse take Star Pointers place
and So against the wagon and high wheel
sulky records.
Previous 10 this the great son OF Patch
en- Wilkes had gone a really remarkable
mile in attempting TO beat his own rec
ord OF 2:0lA. Driven by Atkinson, he
went the circuit in 202%., lowering the
ingalls, park record. The time by quar-
ters was 3l%. 1902. 1927. 2;02A. Sew
cral watches caught the time in 2021.
After scoring once Driver Ames sig
nailed for the word. and away the big
black went with the running mate trail
ing a length or two away. Ames rated
his charge splenddly covering the first
quarter in S2h skimmng along the
back stretch with the stallion moving
easily in 31h. Around the far turn the
PAGER faced the breeze, whatever there
was of IL, but IL was here that Ames
urged him. While the running mate
drew alongside and responded TO the call
the noble Patchen sped over the third
quarter in 30la seconds. IL was now a
foregone conclusion that the record
would be broken. and outbursts of APP
plause began before the horse was well
Strengthened out for home. Ames knew
the staying power OF his horse and never
relinquished urging him by voice and an
occasional sharp crack OF the whip. The
result was the last quarter was made

POTATO CROP NEARLY A FAILURE


New York, Oct. 21-Not since 1892 has
the potato crop OF the United States
proved so nearly a failure, said The
American Agriculturalist in its final re-
port OF the yield of 1897. Compared with
the liberal crop OF last year. there is an
apparent falling off of nearly 80 per cent
in tonnage, ard the quality of the whole
Is greatly deficient. County and town
ship returns from all the leading potato
growing states show the yield TO be 174-
100000 bushels, against $4,000, 900 in so,
2S6.O0ooO in '95, lsp. 900 900 in "a, and only
lSt, 100000 in the short crop OF '92. The
average rate of yield per acre is placed
at 81 bushels, taking the country at
large, against Ss bushels in 80, SO N '95
and Gain 's2
The reasons for disaster to the potato
crop of 1897 are about as varied as a
multiplicity of causes could make them.
Standing out with more prominence than
any ether two factors are blight and rot.
as result OF extremes Of weather condi-
tions. Excessive rainfall here and there,
failure OF germination later serious
drought, rust scab. Insects etc, have all
been prominently in evidence. though
complaints OF this character are less gen.
eral than of the two first named.

STILL NO VERDICT.
One Juror Believed to BE RESPONSE
BILE For the Failure to Agree.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-At $3.50 last night
II was announced from the office OF
State Attorney Deneen that there would
be no announcement of a verdict in the
,Luetgert case before the opening of
court today. Judge Tuthill went home
early, leaving matters with Mr.. Deneen.
who was TO send him word in case a ver-
dict should be reached during the early
part OF the evening. The attorneys for
the defense also left matters with Mr..
Deneen ana went home TO await any
word that might come from the jury
room.
Mr.. Deneen, pale faced and red-eyed
from long lack of sleep. sat in his office
until $3.50, and then gave orders that his
Office be closed. Il shall wait no longer"
he said. and there is no need of anybody
waiting after leave / agreed With
Judge Tuthill and with the attorneys for
the defense to remain here until $3.50
o'clock and TO receive the announce
ment If a verdict should be reached.
There is absolutely no chance now of
anything being heard from the II men
before tomorrow morning, at the earli-
est"
For a time last night IL was rumored
that If the jury had not agreed by to-
day II would be discharged as soon as il
reported it's inability TO reach a verdict.
This, however is not the case. II is the
firm determination of Judge Tuthill to
keep the jurors until Saturday night or
late Saturday afternoon before he per-
mits them TO go with disagreement.
The jury stands about where Ii stood "a
hours ago. Reports vary from nine for
the death penalty to three for acquittal.
10 III for death and one for acquittal. The
one juror holding out for Luetgert is
Harley. and il is thought that II he would
change front there would be little time
lost in arriving at a verdict. Juror
Holabird is also credited with favoring
the acquittal of the prisoner, but it is
thought he would come around quickly
IL Harley could be induced to vote for
conviction. The feeling among the
jurors who are in favor of the death
penalty is high against Harley. and they
have done plain talking TO him. At one
time they sent for Judge Tuthill to know
among other things IL III men could COM
pei one man 10 vote with them, or if
a verdict would be valid il but IL men
signed IL. This is the incident that gave
