NEW YORK, July 21.--Col. Robt. G..
Ingersoll died suddenly at his country
home Mt Dobbs Ferry, New York,
shortly after 12 o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. Ingersoll went to his GUNNER

of n slight indisposition. He spent
this morning in his room and shortly
before he was stricken, his wife offer
ed to have his luncheon sens ND to him
80 that he would not hivo to walk
down stairs to the dining lsom below.
He laughingly replied that while he
did not feel quite as we'll as he used to,
he guessedlhe was not yet AN invalid,
and he would go with tho Others.
AS he finished speaking and was
vhont 20 rise, he fell back into his
chair. A physician was immediately
summoned, but when he reached the
house he found that Mr. Ingersoll had
died almost instantly.
Tho physicians did not give the
cause Of death, but the family believe
it was due to appop1exy.
Mr. Ingersoll's wife and two daueh-
ters were with him when he died.

A Great Crop.

The seasons have never before been
so favorable to the corn crop of the
west as they have this year. Conse-
qucntly IN unprecedented corn crop is
expected in the States which are tho
greatest corn producers.
The total crop will probably go far
above two thousand million bushels.
1t is estimated TINT Kansas and Ne
brask. vii! between then. ra;se ahe.t
575, ,00G,G 600 bushels OF corn. or more
than % per cent of the entire crop.
The value OF Tn. product is estimated
at about &12O, 900. 900.
These two States will get for their
corn crop about half as much as o.
000, COO bale crop of cotton would bring
ut present prices.
With the blessings of n year Of plenty
Nebraska is in o very different condi-
tiOn from what it was five years ago.
Then the State suffered from terrible
drouth. which cut its corn crop down
to less than GO,OO0,0OO bushels and
threatened starvation to many thou
sands of it's people. There would have
been actual starvation in Nebraska
that year but for the aid of the State
government and generous contribu-
ticns from other States. Georgia
started this movement, and the people
Of every section ST the State contribu-
ted to it. Three great train loads of
provisions and clothing were sent to
the Nebraska sufferers from Georgia
and other Southern States contributed
literally.
Kansas suffered severely the same
year, but not 80 badly as Nebraska.
AS result Of this affiic ton many thou
sands Of people left Kansas and Ne
braslla. 1t is believed that the popu-
lntion of the former State is considcra-
bly, less than it was ut the last census,
and that the population Of Nebraska
has hardly increased ut all. Seasons
arc very uncertain in these States.
They have had abundant rains this
year; next year they mny have another
blighting drOuth.
We are glad to know that they have
such superb corn crop now ripening.
The South still buys corn largely in
the West, though there is no reason
why she should do SO.
We quoted IL few days ago from
bulletin Of the federal agricultural de-
partment statement to the effect that
the South could with proper effort pro-
dnce every pound Of meat and every
bushel of corn il needs, and do SO at Il
profit.
Last year the corn production of the
South was increased largely. Every
Southern State, except Georgia, raised
millions more bushels Of corn in 1893
than in 1897.
Seasons in the South have not been

crop of the West.
But let us hope that the time is not
far distant when the South will pro-
duce it's own bread and mcat.-AH Hantn

MACON, Ca, July 23.--A special to
the Telegraph from Talbotton says:
Mr.'J. w. Jones, prominent farmer
living near this place, was shot twice
by his seventeen-year-old son last
night. Ono ball entered his right
breast, broke one rib anu passed
through his right lung. The other en-

pulled some watermelons contrary to
his fathers instructions, and when the
father attempted to chastise him, the
lad drew his pistol and fired twice.

Mr.. sullivan OF Mississippi, offered an
amendment limiting to 5000. 600 the
amount to be paid the maritime canal
company in the way OF compensation for
its concessions or reimbursement for its
work.
Mr. Morgan opposed the amendment as
likely to hamper action upon the bill.
MIR. Pettigrew said he was satisfied that
no canal would be built even II the bill
were passed and that the only thing that
would be accomplished would he the pay
ment Of five million dollars to the promo
tiers of the scheme. He declared that
nothing practical had been accomplished
by the maritime canal company. He said
that 1t ought to DO provided. If the

that the United States should receive
from the canal company its property at o
fair valuation in cash.
The amendment was adopted without

Main street to Lisbon and Themes down
Lisbon, the principal business street OF
Lewiston, to City hall square. Every
where In the city were to be seen emblems
of mourning. On the public buildings
the great mills and many private houses,
the stars and Stripes dropped at hall
mast. The Journal office. by which the
procession moved, was nearly hidden by
the folds Of the streamers of black md
white bunting. which fell from the roof
to the level of the second floor. AT the
City building the decorators had been
busy. Festoons of black and rosettes OF
the same sombre hue nearly hid the brick
work Of the front. Over the grsa, arched
entrance was IN excellent portrait of the
dead congressman, ON each side Of which
were American Gags. 1t was under this
portrait that the body was borne on Its
way to the hall above, where the people
of the two cities were to have an oppor-
tupity to take last look at the face Of
the man whom many Of them had counted
as personal friend and upon whom they
all had looked as one who had done honor
TO their cities and the state. In the hall,
there were abundant tokens Of mourning,
Around the walls were bands of blacks
relieved by wreaths and streamers Of
white. In the centre stood the catafalque.
1t consisted of the raised platform for the
oasket, over which, supported by columns
at the corners, was heavily draped
covering. Here the casket was deposited
and around it were heaped the floral
offerings until the body seemed to repose
In mound of fragrant flowers. As soon
MS this had been done, the congressional
party and the relatives were driven to
their hotels and homes. Then the doors
were thrown open and the people were
admitted to the hall They entered BY the
stairway at the right, passed in a long
line by the catafalque and then descended
TO the street by the other staircase. All
classes were represented In the long line.
For four hours they come, men. women
and children, and there were tears glisten-
ing in the eyes Of some of them as they
glanced at the silent form amid the
flowers. The schools were closed during
the afternoon and the younger children
were taken to the hall by theiI teachers.

substitute would strengthen the marine
corps by 1890 men and increase the cost

Mr. Steele. Republican Of Indiana,
| thought the committee was demanding
good deal of the House IN asking sup
port for n substitute which had not been
passed on by the commission which
drafted the personnel bill.
Mi. Meyer said the late war had demon
strated this necessity for an increase OF
the marine corps.
MIR. Bennett. Republican OF New York,
moved TO strike from the substitute the
provision for major general. The men
of the marine corps were scattered, he
said, and never modified. The COM
mandant was simply bureau officer and
not entitled to the rank of major general
MIR. Psarce, Republican Of Missouri,
opposed the substitute. For the reputa-
tion and good name of the committee and
his party in the House he hoped the sub
stitute would be voted down.
Z MIR. Meyer said that in the preparation
of the substitute. tina army organization
had been followed, but upon solicitation
he accepted the Bennett amendment
striking out the provision for a major
general. The substitute was then adopt
ed S5 to 50.
The bill was then reported to the
House. Mr.. steele, Republican of In.

marine corps substitute and 1t was taken
by ayes and noes and the sui stitute was
adopted, 1871 to Ca The bin was then
passed without division. Saturday, jon.
