BRIEF NEWS PARAGRAPHS.

California raisin growers have COM
bined to increase prices.
Cuba's sugar crop is estimated at
25G, 900 tons, $4,000 less than last year.
During a severe wind and rain storm
at St. Paul, Mimi, on the 18th three
persons were killed and two seriously
injured.
Twenty-Five thousand men, employed
by the Standard Oil Co. all over the
country, have had their wages raised
10 per cent
A number of large forest fires, pro-
NOTED by the dry heat, have destroyed
property to the value of 900, 900 marks
near Aix-la-Chapelle, Germany.
A street car strike is on at Kansas
City, KS. However, the cars were in
full operation on the 18th and no vio-
lence was offered by the strikers.
The 18th was the 9th day of the
street car strike at st. Louis, Mo-, and
not a wheel on any of the lines, except
the mail cars, was turned in the city.
May 10 was the hottest day in the
history of Chicago for the same date in
any previous year, the thermometer
registering 90 degrees. At Winnipeg
it was OF; st. Paul, 90; Milwaukee, Sc;
Des Moines, SO; Omaha, SO.
The cholera continues to rage in the
famine camps of India. There have
been 400 deaths in three days at Man
divee and so numerous are the cases at
Godria that it is impossible to collect
the bodies. These lie for days in the
sun. The people have fled and cannot
be induced to return. A similar state
of things prevail at Breach
In accordance with the decision
reached by the st. Louis Transit Co. S
employees a general strike was inaugu-
rated on the entire system at day break
on the Sth. No cars were in operation,
save few on the Park avenue division.
During the day the company found
that the cars could not be operated by
non-union men, and ordered them back
to the barns. Two on-lookers were
shot during the day, one of whom will
probably die.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

The senate on the Sth concluded con-
sideration of naval appropriation bill
with the exception of that section
relating to armor and armament. The
debate on the naval bill was practically
confined to the paragraph relating TO
the commissioning of naval cadets. The
committees amendment striking out
the proposition in the house bill, which
sought TO commission the cadets at the
expiration of the four years term at
the naval academy, abolishing the pre-
liminary two years at sea, was carried
after warm debate.
The senate on the 14th resumed con-
sideration of the naval appropriation
bill and by a vote of 80 to 10, adopted
the committee amendment relating to
armor plate. 1t provides for the pay
ment of S545 ton for three ships and
$445 for others. If the armor cannot
be obtained at the latter price, the sec
rotary of the navy is directed to build
an armor plant.
The bill making an annual appro-
priation of 81, 900, 900 instead of $780,
900 to provide arms and equipments for
the National Guard of the various
states, passed the house by vote OF
1873 to on the nth
A bill giving the widow of the late
Maj. Gen. Henry w. Lawton pension
of $50 per month was favorably reported
to the senate from the committee on
pensions on the Sth.

dates who will come from all parts of
the state to receive the degrees, from
the 4th to the 32d inclusive. This
branch of Masonry, which is said to be
magnificent in it sritualistic forms and
ceremonies, has grown more rapidly
than any other during the past few
years, and is destined to still greater
and more rapid growth. The candi-
dates who are to take the degrees at
this session comprise leading and pro-
fessional men from all parts of the
state, and during the next three weeks
1t is predicted that at least so more APP
plications will come in. The music for
the occasion will be rendered by the
highest talent of the city, and small
army of singers and players have been
engaged. This branch of Masonry is
said TO be now open to all Master
Masons from any part of the state.

of Juror-CoL Smith Denies Forg-
ing Gen. Cases Signature.
Col Smith Denies Forgery Accusation

Col Smith Denies Forgery Accusation.
The defense in the Sutton case
showed their hand in two important
matters on the Sth. The first was that
Sutton was paid 81 900 in currency by
n client during his visit in New York
an October, thus accounting for the 1895
deposited by him on Oct. 0, and the
other was the claim that Col. II. A.
Smith prepared the minutes of the
record of the alleged fraudulent special
meeting of the military board held in
Grand Rapids on July II, and forged
the signature of Gen. Case as president
of the board to this record. Papers
were produced in evidenced that proved
beyond doubt that the retainer fee
received by Col. Sutton from Chas NJ.
Daily, representive of the Remington
Arms Co., was o. X. The entire day
was occupied by the defense on these
two questions.

Detroit Truck Drivers Strike.

The trouble between the truck driv-
ers and the Detroit Carriage association,
comprising all the carriage companies
in Detroit, was brought to head on
the sth, wnen the .33 transfers en-
ployed by the Ferguson company quit
work. AS soon as this was made known
TO the other companies their men were
ordered TO take out trucks to assist the
Ferguson people in delivering freight.
The men refused to obey and all the
companies ordered the trucks back to
the barns, locked the barns and the
men were temporarily out of a job.
This was in accordance with the asso-
cations program, of which the en-
ployes had received due notice. The
strikers Immediately notified the mer-
chants that they would move every
thing from the freight house with
their own teams. The carriage COM
panies say that it will be impossible
for the strikers to handle freight of
any bulk, whatever, as the trucks they
have are mostly single and light ones.
All other goods will be obliged to re-
main in the depot, and according to an
agreement signed by all the railroad
companies last January after "a hours
storage rates will be charged.

Col. Smiths Story Attacked.

The prosecution furnished several
surprises in the Sutton trial on the 9th,
Col. Smith testifying to some impor-
tant conversations with Col Sutton
and the latters attorney, Elliott G.
Stevenson, no mention of which was
made in the Marsh trial, because of
n desire to keep them in the background
for this trial, or because they would
not have been admissible as against
Marsh. The conversation with Sutton
related in part to an effort to get
Smith to leave the city so as to escape
the grand jury, and in part to the al
legged plan of calling n special session
of the Legislature for the purpose of
impeaching Judge Person and Prosecu-
tor Tuttle and thereby putting an end
to the grand jury. Col Smith started
in with continuation of his story as
to the sale of the military stores on
hand and the purchase of others. The
defense early objected to his telling of
conversations with White in the alb
sence of Sutton, and Judge West stated
to the jury that this evidence was adj
mitted on the understanding that the
prosecutor was to show conspiracy
with which Sutton was connected be-
fore completing the case; otherwise all
this testimony was to be excluded and
not considered by the jury. 1t was in
August that White told Smith that
Sutton and Marsh were connected with
him in the military deal, and the wit
ness told of his visit to Whites Office
on Sept. 10, couple of hours before he
was married, and how White called
him back as he was leaving the Office
and handed him a check for 5000, say
ing that it was wedding gift from
Marsh, Sutton and himself, each shar-
ing equally. Marsh was present at
this time. The entire day was occu-
pied in the examination of Smith, and
the cross examination will be con-
.cluded on the 10th.

RELIABLE AND INTERESTING.
JAS. Jenries stin Holds the Champion
ship Honors Having Defeated JAS.
Corbett In Another Hard Fought
Carried 1000 Feet Into the Air.

Clinging only by his hands to small
rope, Wallace Cartwright, of Pottsville,
Pa, aged 10, assembled 1000 feet in the
air with balloon and came down I'M
harmed. David McDade, attached to a
circus, was billed for an ascension and
parachute act after the performance,
and among the thousands who clustered
near him during the preparations were
three boys. The balloon was inflated
with hot air, and at a word from Nc
Dade the anchor ropes were severed.
The airship scared upward, and there
was a shout of horror as the three boys
were seen entangled in the rope. Two
of the boys quickly squirmed out of the
meshes and dropped to the ground with
nothing more serious than a few
bruises. Young Cartwright, however,
chung to rope, fearing to drop. He
was whirled up 200 feet and then the
hot air in the balloon became exhausted.
The boy hung by his hands directly
above McDade's head, and the latter
feared that if he fell both would be
hurled to the earth. BY promises and
threats the aeronaut induced Cart
wright to cling to the rope until the
ship dropped safely into a ploughed
field. Both were exhausted, but un-
hurt.

Weekly Crop Report.

The weekly crop bulletin of the
Michigan weather service says that
generally the week has been frosty and
dry. Very light showers have occurred
in scattered localities and a wet snow
in some others. Cold drying winds
prevailed during most days and heavy
frosts on the last three nights of the
week. Fortunately vegetation was not
far enough advanced so that much
damage would result. In a few cases
damage to Strawberries is reported, but
so far as known at present no damage
was done to fruit. 1t has been too dry
for rye and clover to make much pro-
gress, although some improvement is
noticeable. Wheat continues in very
poor condition and many farmers are
blowing it up. The dry weather has
been favorable to the spread of forest
fires, which have prevailed extensively
and done considerable damage during
the past 10 days. Field work has pro-
crossed steadily. 0at seeding is near
ing completion in most counties of the
lower peninsula and is quite generally
begun in the upper peninsula. In the
extreme southern counties oats have
terminated nicely, but generally the
weather is too cold for much growth.
Pastures have improved so that con-
siderable stock has been turned out.

The arrest of c. +. w. Nicely, of
Muncie, Ind. for robbing the postal
department of S35, 900, is causing the
administration tremendous worry. The
circumstances connected with the case
make officials at Warrington fear that

Chicago Robbed OF 100000.

A scheme by which the city of Chi
cago has been defrauded out of sums
aggregating 100000, according to
Chief of Detectives Colleran, has been
unearthed by detectives and two men
are now in Jail charged with conspir-
acy, while seven others are under sur
Vigilance. Clarence NJ. Wolfe and Geo.
w. Piggott, employees in the water of
fee, are under arrest charged with par
ticipating in the conspiracy which it is
said has been going on for over five
years 1t is alleged that Wolfe and
Piggott were caught in the act of
changing the dial of a water meter in
the Rainier hotel. The detectives say
the alteration was part of the scheme
by which the fraud was operated. Dur
ing the past two months two city de-
tectives have stood in a room seven
feet square in the basement of the Ra-
nier hotel, looking through narrow
peep holes in 14-inch brick wall and
watching for evidence. So conclusive
is the showing against the men ar
rested that they have confessed their
guilt.
