Ak Will Fall In the Mint,

Washington, ID. & Dec. There will
BIO considerable reduction in the working
force Of the Philadelphia Mint before Jan.
uary l. This has been decided on by As
sistant Secretary Nanlerlip, as result of
his examination into tho operations Of the
Mint during his visit to Philadelphia
Monday and Tuesday.
1t is not intended to curtail the output
OF the Mint, but Mr.. Vanderlip thinks
there Is good deal Of dead wood In the
Mint personnel that some of the employ
es are not doing the amount of work they
should perform for the pay, and that tho
pay roll can bo materially r'ducel by max.
ing all employees work more diligently.
Just how large the reduction in force will
be and when it will DO made cannot now
bU stated.
The proposed reduction Is not a reflcc.
ton on the management of Snperin.
tendent kretz He has had to resist great
pressure to keep his force down to its
present limit, and his supcrors here arc
not at all inclined to blame him because
they have discovered II way, or think they
have, to get the work Of the Mint done for
less money than it now costs No dispo-
sition exists to disturb Superintendent
krelz until the expiration Of four years for
which Superintendent Townsend was ap.
pointed That will DO next summer. 1t
is also believed that Chief Coincr Morgan
will be allowed to serve until that time.

Tho prospect for fair crops is now guitb
encouraging to the farmers. Tho wheat
is looking well, there being an immense
growth of straw, and tho Indications arc
that the heads will be well filled. In
about two weeks the reapers will be busy
in many fields. Our friend, II. l.. Arm
strong of Christiana Hundred, has already
made arrangements to thIesh his crop on
the fourth OF July, and the next move
will be to get the crop into the market iu
order to get the highest price
The grass Is now growing finely and the
indications favor good crop Of hay. Many
fields that looked very unpronising when
the wheat was cut last season, are now
well covered with clover and timothy.
The oats arc growing and on godl
ground the crop will be fair. Potatoss
are rather backward, but 1t is time enough
yet for fair yield. Corn is also littIb
slow in starting, but where there is good
stand at the present time, there Is pros
pect OF rapid growth.

For Clerk of the Market.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I, as one of the business
men of Wilmington, would nominate Mr..
David Lemon for Clerk of the Market. He
is Il man fitted for the position from his ex-
perlonee in business not only in systema.
ttzng the market according to tho ordi-
nances but also competent judge of the
food products offered for sale in the mar
ket, requiring inspection. I believe he
is a conscientious man In every way and
would treat every man with pollteness
and courtesy, and would use his best iudg-
ment in favor OF right to all our people.
/ speak from experience knowing him
we'll for veracity. l therefore suggest
that all his friends urge his appointment
on the council elect, as Mr., Lemon has
been affiliated with the party for so many
years. 1t is Il business that is suited for
the man and the man suited for the bus-
ness and as he never held office, derend-
iny on his own business resources, and be.
ing ono of our largest taxpayers In tue
past, he ought to be elected to this office
unanimously. Yourssrespectlully

up his rife. and when the agency was
reached he was promptly locked up.
In the meantime Sheriff Glib returned
and presented Captain Stouch with a
warrant for his arrest for violating the
state laws in interfering with the sher-
If in his attempt to arrest the Indian.
Then the sheriff demanded the person
Of Stanley, but the agent positively re-
fused to deliver him up. Finally. after
much parleying, Captain Stouch be-
came convinced that 1t was useless to
hold the murderer longer and turned
him over to the sheriff, sending an es-
cort of cavalry with him to the rail-
road
Yellow Hair and Sam Crow were ar
rested by Captain Stouch after his re-
port had been mailed, The tone Of the
report throughout indicates that 1t was
the presence of the sheriff's posse that
aroused the Indians. They were un-
able to distinguish. their hereditary
enemy, the cowboy, from the same in
dividual clothed with sheriffs pow
ers, and It was these men, and not the
soldiers, that Stanley wanted to fight.

to agree, and were discharged by Judge
Ermentrout at 1890 Saturday night,
after being locked up "a hours. Ballots

from the beginning the ballots were
either eight or nine for conviction, to
four and three for acquittal, except
the last, which stood nine to three for
aequittal. The result is what has been
expected since Friday evening, and it
was simply a question of endurance on
the part of the Jurors. The case will
probably be tried again in September.
