Catherine Scharf, aged 90, of New
York, was found dead in her room
about midnight on the 18th. A bloody
hammer and the condition of the wo-
man when found indicates that rob
berry was the motive.
At n meeting of the window glass
manufacturers and plate glass jobbers
of the United States, held at Niagara
Falls, n. Y, on the 18th, it was de-
cided TO advance the price of window
glass and plate glass 10 per cent to
take immediate effect.
Gen. Alban, civil governor and mill
tary commander of the department of

ceived a dispatch from Socorro an

capped to Barranca.
Three or four weeks ago the wife Of
Ulrich Rupprecht, of Norwich, Ont,
died very suddenly, and foul play was
suspected. The body was cxhumed
and poison found in the stomach, but
the matter was dropped for some rea-
SON or other, the supposition being
that il was a case of suicide. Rup-
precht has never been the same man
since. and on the 18th he went TO his
wife's grave and shot himself through
the head.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The weekly crop bulletin issued on
the 14th says that in the upper PENN
sula all vegetation has made good pro-
press; spring wheat and oats are rip
pening fast and their harvest has be-
gun. In the lower peninsula the
weather has been favorable for the oat
harvest. which has made rapid progress
and most of the crop is now fully Sc
cured. The hot dry weather in the
southern counties has been hard on
corn, beans, buckwheat, potatoes and
pastures; corn has rolled considerably,
pastures have dried up very fast, and
beans show a deterioratcd condition,
while potato vines have wilted. Gen
orally, however. corn and potatoes re-
main in a promising condition and
sugar beets are so far advanced that
they are almost beyond much damage
except from extraordinary conditions.
A careful estimate from all the princl-
pal corn counties indicates that corn
will be safe from frost about Septem-
Der II in the southern and central
counties. Flowing for fall seeding has
been generally in progress in all parts
of the lower peninsula; in the south
ern counties it is well advanced and
nearing completion.

500 River blocked.

Another blockade occurred in the
United States ship canal opposite Sail
ors' Encampmcnt, 500 river, on the
14th, and coming during the hight OF
the season, it is likely TO prove as dis
astrous, if not more so, than the delay
caused 10y the sinking of the Douglass
Hougrton at the same place last fall.
The blockade this time is caused by
the schooner MAZDA, OF the Minnesota
Steamship Co. The Mazda was bound
down in tow of the steamer Matoa,
both ore laden. just after they had
entered the Encampment cut the
Maida's steering chains broke, causing
her to sheer and run her nose on to the
bank She then swung across the
channel and partly sunk. As she is
375 feet long, she extends clear across
the channel, which is only 300 feet
wide.

broke out in New York on the night
of the 18th, as result of the death of
Policeman Thorpe, from injuries in
flicted by Negro named Arthur Harris,
was not quelled until after daylight
