DOCKS AT FAIRPORT,
Which Will Handle Lake and Rail-
business

The recent report that the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad had made two i'm
portant lake connections, one to Du-
luth and the Northwest, via Northern
Steamship line and the other to Chi
through Fairport, O.. has created some
interest in the size and capacity Of
the docks at Fairport. Fairport is the
Lake Erie terminus of the Pittsburg
& Western railroad which, as is well
known, is practically a B. & o. proper
ty, although under separate manage
nient. For some years the Fairport
Warehouse & Elevator COMPANY.
which owns the docks and the facilities
at that point, has been spending a
great deal of money for the purpose
of putting the plant in the very best
possible condition to handle a very
large lake and rail traffic. The docks
are 1000 feet in length and contain
two steel frame iron-clad warehouses
each 465x90 feet, with a capacity of
10000 barrels, and there is, in addition.
a one million bushel iron-clad grain
elevator The channel is being dredg-
ed from the mouth Of the river to the
docks and, when completed, a depth
of eighteen feet Of water will be main
tanned. The F'airport terminal was
opened for lake and rail package
freight and grain traffic on April is.

THE FOX SISTERS.
The Place in New York State Where
Spirit Rapping Was First Heard.

Prominent believers in spiritualism
have just held a convention at Roches-
ter, N. Y, in honor of the y-ninth
anniversary of the birth of modern
Spiritualism, says the Chicago Times
Herald. Many people believe that
Rochester is the birthplace of spirit
rappings, but this is an error. The
real birthplace was Hydeville, Wayne
county, a few miles from Newark The
spirit rapping'' phenomenon began
in March, 1S4S. in the family of John
D. Fox at that place. After a while
the raps occurred only in the presence
Of the two sisters, Margaret and Kate.
The family having removed to Roches-
ter, the raps accompanied them, and
new phenomena, including clairvoy-
ance and the movement of ponderable
bodies without appreciable agency
were developed.
In November 1S49, the Fox girls ap-
peared in public hall, and the phe-
nomena were freely manifested and
subjected to many tests. In May. 1850,
the Fox girls arrived In New York, and
the alleged Spiritual manifestations
became the subject of extensive news
paper and conversational discussion.
Their facts were published far and
wide. Mediums" through whom they
were said to occur, sprang up in diff
ferent parts of the country, and were
multiplied by hundreds and almost by
thousands.

CROP BULLETIN NO. L.
Little Seeding Yet Done I'm South
Dakota

HURON. 5. D., April 22.-In his first crop
bulletin for this section, Officer Glenn of the
United States weather bureau in this city,
says:
The month of March averaged unusually
cold. with more than the average amount OF
precipitation, and was extremely cold much
Df the first half. The remainder Of the month
the temperature was more seasonable, but
the ground was too wet to work.
BY the 9TH Of April very little seeding had
been DONE and that only On higher ground
having good drainage.
During the week ending April u the tenn
perature was about normal. with light rains
and considerable cloudy weather. Low lands
continued either submerged or too wet to
work. but higher ground had been drying
slowly. and permitted some seeding and
blowing in the central, southern and south
western counties. The first half of the
week ending today was showery, but the re-
snainder fair, with fresh to brisk and high
drying winds, putting most OF the high land
IN tillable condition. Much low land contin-
ues too wet to work. but Oh higher ground
seeding OF wheat oats and barley is quite
general. Some early gardening has been
done. also, in the southern counties.
The soil generally is so moist that with rea-
grow rapidly. The ground has not been so
thoroughly saturated with moisture since the
snring OF 1881, and in this particular the
promise of a fruitful season has never been
more nauering. The buds of trees are be-
ginning TO swell in the southern and central
counties and grass is starting nicely.

tons a season. Last year there were
handled 49,, 264 tons Of east-bound and
21,879 tons of west-bound package
freight, showing an increase of 81 per
cent over the average for the previous
five years.
Fairport has also handled consider
able grain. From 1891 to 1895 the total
was 2,744,872 bushels, or an average of
548,974 bushels a season, making about
five medium sized cargoes; but during
the time navigation was open in 1896
there was handled S,162,S62 bushels of
grain, or IA $40 times more than dur
ing the previous FIVE seasons.
More grain was handled during the
first forty days of the season of 1896
than was handled during the first five
years that the terminals were in opera
ton.
Now that both the Great Northern
and Owen lines Of steamships will
trade between Fairport and the upper
lakes and Chicago and Milwaukee, 1t
is confidently expected that the bust
ness will be very largely increased this
year, as the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
is in better shape to handle bulk and
package freight than it has ever been
in the past. ~ n

AN ELEPHANT AUCTION.
Six Show Beasts to the Highest
Bidders in London.

Six elephants, familiar to Londoners
during the Indian exhibitions, of 1895
and 1896, were recently sold at auction.
says the London Graphic. The ele-
plants were Juno Modoc, Archie, Ed
gar Gypsy and Ruth, all especially
imported for the exhibition and the
stage spectacle of india" Modoc and
Juno hail from Barnum & BaiIey's, and
came from America in 1895; the other
four came from Burmah, where, before
making their obeisance to English audi
ences, they were used for drawing pur-
poses and general labor.
The auctioneer, having mounted a
pile Of timber at the back Of the
grounds, addressed the crowd and
called attention to the clause in
the conditions by which the purchaser
was required to clear his purchase on
the same day by 4 o'clock. An eX-
tension of time had, however,
been arranged for. An elephant not
being a chattel very easily moved, this
announcement was received with evil
dent relief The first elephant sold
was Juno, height feet inches, weight
2 tons II hundredweight. She started
at 70 guineas, and was knocked down
for 50 guineaS. Then came MOdOc not
SO high, but heavier; he would turn the
scale at tons 3 hundredweight. Modoe
was uneasy and wagged his colossal
head and flail-like tail while the bid
ding went on. He fetched 100 guineas.
The younger elephants, two of which
had nice tuslls with neat ball-shaped
tips, then came forth from the shed,
ridden Naturalization by their at
tendant. Archie was sold for las
guineas, Edgar for $50 guineas, Gypsy
for 145 guineas and Ruth for 140
guineas. After the elephants were
knocked down an uncatalogued lot ap-
peared in the shape of an Indian bull
and COW, two Of the pretty
little creatures so popular with
the children during the exhf-
bitiOn. They formed an amusing con-
trast to the gigantic beasts that had
preceded them. The hammer fell for
them at 10 guineas.

The freight and classification committee of

a petition to the chairman and members of
the Western Freight committee asking for
a Redistribution Of articles shipped at pres

generally Of one class on all agricultural and
vehicle articles, for the reason that the cost
of production and the value Of the same has
been steadily decreasing during the past few
years, and that also the responsibilities of the
railroads have been lessened.

The Author of our new story, Miss
Elizabeth Phipps Train, has rapidly
come to the front in the United States
as popular novelist. Her first story,
'"The Autobiography of Professional
Beauty" created a decided sensation,
but Madam of the Ivies" beat the
record.
The intrinsic force and defiant viya>
ciousness of Miss Trains stories have
carried all before them. She possesses
great original dramatic power in
placing the characters of a story,
grouping the incidents, portraying the
scenes, and developing the events. a
lively charm lights one through tho
whole to the end. In ''The Queen of
Hearts" the author has struck new
vein, and we shall be surprised if this
story does not prove one of the most
popular of the season.
