RAINS CAUSE GARDENS
To FILL WITH WEEDS
Wheat Showing Some I'm
provement and General
Situation Good

The past week has been cool, wet
and cloudy throughout the entire sec
tion. says the United States Crop and
Weather Report. The rainfall has
everywhere been i'm excess and has
generally amounted to more than two
inches. On the 11th the fall was ex-
cessive i'm parts of the interior south
and east with resultant damage to hill
lands by washing. A special report
from EastOn, Nd states that six inches
fell there on that day, O.6O inch occur
ing between ! a. m and . a. m, and
$40 inches between 1 p. m. and 4.3O D.
m. ThunderstOrms were frequent and
were accompanied by light hail i'm a
number of instances. The winds were
for the most part light, although local
gusts in connection with the thunder
storms temporarily flattened some of
the standing grain.
The low temperatures have been
against rapid growth Of the staple
crops. The heavy rains did slight To-
cal damage, but on the whole they
were beneficial, especially to meadows
and pastures, and the prevailing wet
and cloudy weather was highly favor
able to transplanting. Cultivation was
an impossibility, however. during the
greater part of the week, and all fields
are now becoming very grassy. Opera
tions in hay harvest have also been
delayed. Warm and sunshiny weather
is now needed for farm work and crop
growth.

AN AWFUL TALE.

The officers Of the law think they
have the right man in the negro White
who is now in custody for the brutal
murder and outrage OF Miss Bishop.
II he is the man, then there is satisfac-
ton in knowing that he has been ap-
pretended; an example will be made
that will be salutary and may prove a
warning to other fiends who travel in
the disguise of human beings.
Such outrages are horrible to con-
template, because we are in a large
measure helpless. We don't know
VIXEN there is TO be repetition Of this
horror, and there are no precautions TO
be taken that We have not taken. II it
has reached a pass when the highways
In our populous districts are not safe
for women in the broad day, then we
may well wonder what we are coming
to-
Our people are shocked and stunned,
and what makes il so bad is that there
is nothing that can be done. TO re-
main calm in the face Of such outrages
requires a great effort This probably
explains the violence which such
crimes arouse in certain parts of the
country. The people feel that they
must take some part i'm avenging the
deed We are not disposed 70 violence,
however, but it is as much as fathers
and brothers can endure TO read OF
the awful tale Of Helen Bishops strug-
gle and restrain themselves. II looks
as though the right man had been cap
tured II so, an example will be made

FIRE At u. y. VI.

Fire broke out on Wednesday in
the building occupied by the medical
department of the University, of Yer
mont AT $3.50 O'Clock in the after
noon all that remained of the build
ing was the standing walls. How
the fire started is mystery. a class
in obstetrics was asse mbled in the
amphitheatre for instruction by DR..
Beecher. One OF the students noticed
curl of smoke issuing from crack
in the middle of the floor and called
the attention of another student to
the smoke. He had hardly spoken
before blaze of fire shot up, spread
ing rapidly. A rush of students fol.
lowed and many of the valuables were
carried out of the building. The
students formed bucket brigade but
the flames spread so rapidly that
nothing could be accomplished in this
way. When the fire companies ar
rived every thing went wrong, A
delay was caused by connecting the
hose with the hydrant and the steamer
was found to be out of gear. The
amphitheatre il on the second floor of
the building and the fire was confined
mostly to this story and above. When
the fire reached the chemical library
several explosions followed but none
did much damage. The loss is covered
by insurance. Hickok e. Hickok have
81, 500 and 7. S. Peck has $1,000 on
the building; M. L. Powell has
50, 500 ON the building and 80, 500 on
the contents. The exercises this
morning were held at the amphithe-
atre of the hospital. Arrangements
for the other classes will be made.

men in filling the advertising circu-

MAFAI RAIDED.

Philadelphia, Dec. A. A tenement
house in the Italian quarter of this
city has been ralded by the police,
who captured fifteen supposed men,
bers of the Malta. The raid was the
result of complaints by Italian mer-
chants and bankers. who said they had
been threatened with death should
they refuse to comply. with demands
for money. Each of the fifteen men
arrested was armed with two revolv-
ers and stiletto. In the room were
a number of pistols and store of am
munition. At the hearing, Wednesday,
one of the men admitted that he and
his companions were members Of the
Malta. and that they were in com.
munication with similar branches in
New York, Baltimore and Pittsburg.
They were held III 81, 500 bail each on
charges of carrying concealed deadly
weapons, conspiracy and threatening
to kill. All but three were discharged
Wednesday by Judge Toughill because
the witnesses who swore out the war
rants against them had disappeared. I"
TIE three men held for court were
heavily armed, and their squalld
rooms have been ransacked by the po-
lice in dragnet search for incrimi-
mating documents.
Pietro Pierce and John Mahali have
come forward at the peril of their
lives to give testimony against the
Malta, and particularly against Sal
vator Junato, Fortune Bulzpe and
Frank Larcona, each and all of whom
are charged with having forced the
compliments to join their Malta band
