Weekly Crop Report.

The past week was rather cool,
cloudy and windy, with gentle
rains on the Dist, 22nd, 23rd and
Gath in most districts, which were
of great benefit to the dried up pas
lures and meadows, and to late
vegetables. Late potatoes and root
crops were very much improved
Threshing was interrupted and
delay ed two or three days, but no
injury to wheat is known to have
resulted. Dat cutting, which was
not yet completed in the Lower
Sound districts, was interrupted,
and some fear of injury was enter
tanned. In the Skagit country oats
are very heavy and susceptible to
injury. Oats in Lewis, and other
northwest counties, are mostly in
the shock or threshed
The cutting of oats and wheat
east of the Cascades is now prac-
tically completed. Threshing in
the fields is nearly completed, and
from the stack is at least half done.
The returns from threshing show
the yield of wheat, oats and bar
ley to be considerably below expec-
tatlons, varying from about an av-
erage yield in the N'alla Walla
WaIla country, to a fair Weld in
Spokane and Big Bend districts,
with a poor crop in many localities.
The fruit crop is bOuntiful one,
especially apples, which are of ex-
ceIlent quality. Hops are in fine
condition. The yield will not be
heavy, but will be of excellent
quality. Picking will be general in
II to IA days.
A destructive caterpillar of large
size, said by some to be the tobacco
worm, has appeared in San Juan
county.

CASES BEFORE THE COURT
BUT FEW DEFENDANTS FACED
JUDGE BALL THIS MORNING.

Judge Balls court was not over
crowded with business this morning.
and but few cases were heard
William Connolly was charged with
committing an assault and battery
upon Lewis Hasson The plaintiff tes-
titled that Connolly had knocked him
down and kicked him in the face In
view OF the fact that Connolly had
never been before the court on a pre-
vious occasion. he was let off with q
fine of $40 and costs.
William Ledgross and Frederick
Plum, two young men. were arrested
late last night by Detective Witsil and
Officers Shields and Pierce on the
charge of larceny. When taken into
custody the men were carrying a 100
pound block Of babbit metal. which
they claimed they had found over Mar
ket street bridge. Their case was con-
tinued until tonight for further investi-
cation. The metal was marked "Chero-
kee." and IS thought TO have been
stolen from the works of the Diamond
State Steel Company.
The continued case OF Clarence Schu
mar. charged with using l7-year-old
Maggie Morris. came up for settlement
AT the suggestion of Assistant City So
licitor Cahoon, Schumar was discharg-
ed on the ground OF conflicting testi-
mony. The case came before the court
on Monday last, and Attorney John
Lynn. representing Schumar. asked for
his clients dismissal on the grounds
that it had not been proved that the al
legged crime took place in the city Of
Wilmington.
The case Of Edward Mulvey. Jr., who
recently escaped from the Ferris Re
form School, and against whom a
charge Of larceny has been placed, was
continued pending investigation. Judge
Ball is under the impression that New
Castle jail is a more suitable place 70;
Edward than the Reform School.
For being intoxicated James Maxwell
was fined 81 and costs.

Pennsylvania Railroad Company
Advances Yardmen's Salaries
Nearly Ten Per Cent.
WILL AFFECT ALL GRADES
THE ADVANCE WILL MEAN AN
INCREASE OF FROM $1,000 TO
81. 500 A DAY IN THE PAY-ROLL
OF THE RAILROAD COMPANY.

The Pennsylvania railroad has de-
creed a general increase in the wages
of yard employees. The new scale went
into effect January ], and will affect
about 1000 men. The increase is near
ly 10 per cent.
While the advance in wages is gem
eral among this class Of employees, one
purpose of the company in putting the
new order into effect was to equalize
the wages of the men in the various
yards. In adjusting its wage scale, the
company has, in the past, considered
not only the conditions of labor pc
culiar to each yard, but also the cost
of living in the individual cities. In
the new adjustment these conditions
were taken into consideration, so that
the advance in Harrisburg, for instance,
which is one of the places that it was
especially desired to bring up to the
conditions of the other yards, and
where the cost Of living has increased,
the advance is considerably greater
than in Pittsburg. The in
crease in pay varies from one
to two cents per hour and affects all
grades Of labor among the yard crews
engineers, conductors, firemen, brake
men and car droppers. The men will
feel the benefits of the increase when
their January pay comes, about Feb
ruary 10.
A prominent official OF the Pennsyl-
vania road said yesterday that, so far
as he knows, this is the first instance
in which any railroad in the country
has advanced wages beyond the poini
which they were before the depression
During the years Of bad business some
of the railroads reduced wages, in some
cases 10 per cent, and since the out
look has become brighter, some o.
these have restored the old scale.
The Pennsylvania railroad, however
made no reduction in the wage rates o
its employees during the hard times, 81
that the present increase is an ad
vance over the scale that obtained be
/ fore the depression. When aske'
whether it is the better outlook tha
brought about the decision on the par
Of the road, he said that the compan,
would probably net have taken sucl
action if the prospects were not bright
| The boom. he said, looks as If il ha
come to stay, and the company woul'
| hardly like to increase the wages OF
considerable number Of its men unles
lit thought the position could be main
/ tanned. However. no direct benefit Z
the road in the way Of advanced rate
i has come with the better times. Tn
men generally. he said. will look upol
the increase in wages among this elias
Of employees as being in the way of
i process of equalization by the com

LIEBERMAN MUST PAY
THE CHANCELLOR'S JUDGMENT
AGAINST HIM SUSTAINED BY SUI
PREME COURT.

Dover Jan. 17.-ln the Supreme Court
yesterday the divorce case of John F.
johnson VS.. Mary johnson was discon-
tinued. The Oxy-Hydrogen Company's
case against the city of Wilmington TO
compel the city TO allow the laying Of
gas pipes and the privilege of supply
ing gas was continued until June upon
the motion OF City Solicitor Conrad
Decision was reserved in the case of
Vineyard-Jardine for the ownership of
the steamer Delaware, which plies be-
tween Philadelphia and Milford. The
case of John A. Roebling & Sons Com
pany against Walter ID. Mode was ar
gued this morning.
! The most important decision yet
reached by the court was handed down
In Nathan Liebermans appeal from
the chancellor, who gave judgment
against the appellant for $4,000. Lie
herman was surety for P. T. f. Smith
on two bonds for $4,000 each. for
Smiths fidelity as paying teller OF the
First National Bank, of Wilmington.
After the term of both bonds had ex-
pired it was discovered that Smith was
a defaulter, and that his peculations
had dated back for years. Under the
force OF the first bond, Smith was a
defaulter to the bank in the sum of
81, $50. During the existence OF the
second bond he was a defaulter in the
sum of S27,750.
Mr.. Lieberman and his counsel, Ben
jamin Nields, made statements that
the bank officials had regularly pub
llished the affairs of the bank, which
showed it to be in good condition
while at the same time the alterations
were being made by the teller. They
related the recommendation of the
cashier. George d. Armstrong. who IN
sisted that Smith was thoroughly reli-
able and was not in the position to take
any money.
The court decided that these state
ments of the bank did not publish any
thing in regard to Smiths honesty
and that the cashiers opinion was not
official, but merely that Of an indiyid-
lual.
Lieberman also set up a statute Of
Limitation, dating from 1879, on the
first bond, but the court decided thai
the surety is liable from the time tn,
bond first goes into effect.

NO EXPENSES FOR CORONER
LEVY COURT REFUSES TO PAY
THE COUNTY OFFICIALS BILL.

At the afternoon session of Levy
Court yesterday Attorney John H. Rid
ney gave his opinion as to the bill Of
expenses Of Coroner A. ID. Vandever
for $3.50. Acting on the opinion, the
court refused to pay the bill. In the
opinion Mr. Rodney said that the ser
vices of the coroner were originally
settled for by fees. In March, 1879,
the fees were abolished and the coroner
was given a salary Of 81 900 and no al
lowance for expenses. Mr.. Rodney
held that the state should pay for one
of the $40 items in the bill Of the coro-
ner. This amount was paid by the
coroner for the analysis of samples of
ST. Botalph pills, as it was made to
further the ends of justice, and for the
state.
A warrant of $4,000 was drawn to
pay the bonds Of the Trustees Of the
