FARMING In CUBA.
The State Treasures Receives an In

State Treasurer Levy yesterday received
a letter from two Americans, who are now

State and imparting much as to Cuba. The
writers OF the letter are in San Nicolas.
Cuba 1t was as follows:
I'VE take the liberty OF writing you, re-
questing you TO send us list of the coun-
ties OF your State. Our object In requesting
YOU 20 send us the list is that we desire TO
write TO different county officials on matters
pertaining TO Cuba; We are located here on
a 2,00o-acre plantation. and we, being Amer
leans. wish to get some good Americans to

looking over Cuba and finally settled here
Our plantation. before the war, was one
OF the finest sugar plantations and. like
thousands of others. was destroyed during
the late war. All that remains is the richest
land the world has ever known. We are at
work piowiEg and planting sugar cane. We
expect 10 get IN about 800 acres this year
and more next year. and as our plantation Is

Americans as neighbors. as we believe Cuba
be annexed to the United States. All the
country people are solid for the United
State 81, and i II vote We're taken now an

farming in the United States, but we have
never seen any soil 10 compare with that of

Everything is 900 years behind the times.

two of our Observation-Disclosures six
miles away. They came 10 see our blows

our work was magnificent They said we
had plowed in four hours this morning as
much land with our plOws as they could

THE E. & I. H. PLANT.
Taxes on the Road Are Gradually In
creasing.

The State Board of Tax Commissioners
was in session but a short time yesterday
morning, and the only one who appeared
before il II. c. Barlow, of Evansville,
president of the Evansville & Terre Haute
Railroad. The road extends from Evans
Vile to Terre Haute, and has about 16o miles
of main track in the State. The assessment
is $1,000 mile the main track. For
fifty-two miles of side track it is $500 a
mile. and the rolling stock is assessed at
81 900 mile. Mr.. Barlow said the amount
of taxes on the road is gradually increas-
irg, and for the fiscal year ending June 30
of this year the taxes are nearly 5000 high
er than the taxes of 1855. The taxes now
amount TO $1,000 while the road has not
been increased, but has been cutting down
it's rolling stock. He asked a reduction. as
the company does not consider the local
levy much as the total amount of taxes
Ii has to pay. Mr.. Barlow also asked a
reduction of the taxes on the Evansville &
Indianapolis road for the same reason, and
he stated that 1t is well known that this
property does not pay. After hearing Mr.
Barlow, the board adjourned until 1890 this
morning. when jerry Suddart will APP
pear on behalf of the "Corydon branch
road" Tomorrow the Chicago 81 Eastern
Illinois will be heard. which will complete
the list of appointments for this week.

SUFFERING FROM DROUGHT.
Corn sadly in Need of Rain in Central
Indiana.

The continued drought is causing Indiana
farmers much ureasiness, as corn is suffer
ing. In particular such is the in the
central part of the State. The grass is
burned out at the present time TO the extent
that is usual the last OF the month or in
the first of August, and the fire department
has been called out several times to extin-
guish burning grass near the city. The
rains that have beer scheduled for this city
by the weather department have usually
gone around the city and thus far this
month the rainfall has been 149 inches be-
low the average for twenty-eight years,
and for the year the average is 7.S9 inches
short. The rainfall thus far this month
here has been but 90 OF an inch, while but
a few days ago Marion had a rainfall of
13I inches, Lafayette 1.SS inches and Wash
ington LII inches. The farmers about the
city complain that the lack OF rain is caus-
ing berries to dry up. and unless rain falls
within few days the crop Will be short.
Some of the truck farmers are hauling water
in wagons.

AGAINST PIECE WORK.
The Resolution Before the Molders'
Convention.

The delegates to the Ironmolders' Union
convention visited the Atlas engine works
yesterday afternoon, at the request of the
management, and were shown through the
plant. The delegates said afterward that
they were greatly pleased with the works,
and thought them among the most extern
sive in the country. The executive sessions
of the convention continued yesterday, and
many resolutions were introduced. There
seems to be strong sentiment in favor of a
proposition to outlaw piece work. 1t is
urged that molder who works by the piece
Is likely to overwork himself, and BESIDES
he cuts down the opportunities of employ
ment for men who work by the day. A res
olution against piece work was introduced
and was referred to a committee. One reso-
luton was introduced to establish a work
day of eight hours and another of nine
hours, instead of ten. These resolutions
were also referred to committee. They
will probably not come up for action until
next week.

AGED Mr.. SlGLER FOUND.
He Was Wandering Aimlessly Around
Huntington.

Joseph F. Sigler. the aged father Of DR..
George A. Sigler, of this city, who wan
dered away from his home in Loree on the
morning of July 4. was found yesterday
afternoon in Huntington. Mr.. Sigler is
eighty-four years Of age and for some time
has seemed to be mentally failing, although
his condition has not been such that it was
considered necessary to watch him He
makes his home with his SON John at Loree.
When found yesterday he was wandering
aimlessly around in Huntington, nearly
forty miles from Loree. He does not seem
to have suffered any and seems to have
been well cared for. He has no recollection
of where he has been or how he happened
TO be in Huntington. He did not know
where he was. His family do not know
where he has been or anything of his wan
derings since a week ago Tuesday. He has
relatives near Chillicothe, o., and 1T is the
belief of his children that he left home
with the idea of going to see them. This
was their theory when he first disappeared
and. acting on it, they have kept a par
ticularly close watch for him in that direc-
ton.
