HE long season of drought which
has already prevailed over this and
the neighborlng States is beginning
to cause no little apprehension on
the part of the farmers and the
growers Of garden crops In fact,
the results are already showing
themselves on our markets, and
must Of necessity do still more so
unless the present dry spell is soon
broken. 1t is Just one month, we
believe, since Il period Of Unusually
prolonged rainy weather closed.
Since then, crops Of all kinds have
been compelled to draw on the re.
serve moisture in the ground, but
that Is being exhausted. Unless
good soaking rains come along in a
short time. all kinds of garden
truck Will be inferior in quality AMI
short in quantity. These who can
lrrigate their gardens or supply the
needed moisture i'll some artificial
way are fortunate. The dry spell
has also interfered with the usual
farm work. Corn and tobacco
planting have been delayed. We
saw some plows at work in the
country during the past week which
raised such clouds Of dust as almost
to hide the horses and ploughmon.
In short, the situation is already
serious, aud we shall be cut out of
our usual home grown crops of
fruits and vegetables unless rain
comes soon.

DALLAS SAYS
W. U. POLES MAY
Be CUT DOWN

A signal victory for the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad over the Western Un
ion Telegraph Company came yes.
terday In the decision handed down
10 Philadelphia by the Judges OF the
United States Court Of Appeals In
suits growing out Of the efforts Of
the railroad to force the removal Of
the telegraph company's poles and
wires from the railroad property.
From this decision, completely
sustaining the contention of the
Pennsylvania that it has a right to
eject the Western Union from the
railroad right Of way, it 10 expected
that the telegraph company will
take an appeal 10 the United States
Supreme Court. The decision is a
culmin alton ola long and sharp legal
battle.
AS result of the opinion handed
down yesterday, written by Judge
Dallas, the railroad is now free to
cut down the poles and wires of
the Western Union, and it is possible
this step will be taken along the
New York division before the tele-
graph company has time 10 interpose
another injunction. IL Is known
that every preparation has been
made to start this work OF destruc.
ton at q moments notice.
The Western Uuion has arranged
to reach all paying points by string.

Whether Molineux,. receives that

to some to be no reason why he
should not be given them, but we
doubt very much if the State of
New York will give them up with

matters of official record to remain
intact for all time. Whether this
be done or not, Molineux, the man,
will be little changed. Try as he
will, the blot and blight on his life
will never be removed. The court
has already done all it can to free
him, and yet it is evident from his
latest effort to erase records that he
is by no means a free man. He
cannot get away from himself.
