According to the statements of dff-
ferent bankers there is more than
enough money in sight to move the
crops and attend to regular business
as well.
One of the bankers says that there
is no necessity Of looking on the APP
parent partial crop failure as a whole
state calamity, because it isn't, and
the state is well prepared financially
and otherwise to stand a little grief
The various bankers believe that the
trifie of a setback in crops may be a
real blessing in disguise because It
will retard some who might have gone
into ruthless expenditure OF money

The Crjppen Case.

London, Aug 20.-Unless he con
fesses TO the.murder of his wife. there
is every prospect that DR.. III. II. Grip
pen. when he comes to trial will bene-
fit greatly 10y the recent hanging OF
John Alexander Dickman on q con-
yiction OF the murder OF John lnnes
Nisbet on train near Newcastle.
Dickman was found guilty on purely
circumstantial evidence, and since his
execution a number of things have
come to light, which had they been
known at the time of the trial, would
have worked strong in Dickman 5
favor. As result Of the publicity
given this case, public opinion is now
decidedly against convictions on CIR
cumstantial evidence, and it is admitted
by even the prosecution that the case
against Crippen is largely circum-
stantial. Considering the manner IN
which Mrs. Crippen's body-or the
body supposed to be Mrs. Crippen $
was disposed OF and Dr. Crippen's
subsequent flight with his typist, Miss
Leneve, felIow-lawyers doubt that the
prosecution will be able to make a
ease insuring any long imprisonment,
but equally few believe that it Will be
possible, so soon after Dickman's ex-
ecution, to hang Crippen.
Quebec, Aug 20.-Dr. II. II. Grip
pen and Miss Ethel Clare Leneye,
wanted in London on the charge OF
numbering Mrs. Crippen, were taken
from the Quebec prison at $40 this
morning, in charge of Inspector Dew,
of Scotland Yard, another detective and
two warderesses. They were rushed
across the st. Lawrence to Sillvery
to board the liner Megantic for Eng
land.
Only a small crowd was present
about the Jail when Inspector Dew
took his prisoners away and there was
no disorder.
The Megantic is very slow liner,
carrying few passengers, and was select
ed by Dew so that he might secure
more privacy for lis charges. The
liner sailed from Montreal at 4 O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon and hove-to off
Sillvery this morning to await the COM
ing on board of the Scotland Yard man
and his prisoners.
Shortly before O'Clock ten carriages
drew up near the Jail. DR.. Crippen
shook hands with each OF tie prison
officials and told them he would write
them from England, no matter what
should be the outcome OF the case
against him. He left an autograph
copy OF Anthony Todds Of Barchester
Towers" forj the jailer, who has treat
ed him with every consideration.
Crippen, Dew and Mitchell got into the
first carriage, Miss Leneye and the two
warderesses into the second while the
others we're filled with prison officials
and local police. There was no
demonstration as the carriages drove
away.
Inspector Dew chose the Megantic
for the trip In order 10 avoid reporters,

MANY SECTS.

Religious freedom in the United
States shelters under its tolerant and
ample folds thousands of representatives
OF the so-calIed heather beliefs, in adj
dition to more than two hundred
various sects Of Christianity, according
to Census Bureau statistics dealing with
the religious life OF the country.
Among the former are Buddhists, Con
fucianists and Bahaists, who are en-
gagged in an organized way in the spread
Of their doctrines in this country.
The volume shows the various
branches. While there are only 81
main bodies there are 2l5 church or
CARNATIONS, many of them protesting a
faith only shade different from others.
For instance, there are II Baptist
bodies, "a Lutheran, Is Methodist and
II Presbyterian. The same is true OF
less known organizations. There are
Is Mennonite, 7 Adventist. 4 Bunker,
or Dunkard, and Quaker, or Friend,
bodies.
There appears no division in either
the Roman Catholic or Protestant Epis-
copal churches, although it is shown
that efforts 10 modify their creeds have
resulted in THE establishment Of indie
pendent bodies. They are designated
as the Reformed Catholic and
the Reformed Episcopal churches,
respectively. The Reformed Catholics
number only 1850 communicates,
while OF the Reformed Episcopalians
there are about 1852.

Guarding Against Cholera.

London, Aug. 20.-Under orders
from the British health authorities, all
English port officials are today care
fully examining arrivals from the con-
tinent TO guard against cholera in
yasiOn.
Dispatches from Russia today show
conditions there to be steadily growing
worse, with the exception Of st. Peters
burg, where a temporary check has
been given the disease.
English officials say that the Russian
official estimate OF a total of 1899
casesand 80, 2S7 dea rs, is at least 90 per
cent short of the actual number, as the
means for gathering returns in Russia
are imperfect and the authorities are
inclined to minimize the gravity OF the
epidemic.
1t is persistently reported from Italy
that cholera has reached Rome,
thought official statements from that
city deny this.

said today;
Il never saw such a clear-cut case

Hough, and that he deliberately ran
away in the most cowardly fashion and
tried to conceal his work As TO the
penalty, that is for the court to say.
but in the case OF Darragh, the chauf-
feur who ran down and killed the
little Trimble boy, he was sentenced to
not less than seven or more than
twenty years in Sing Sing, and his
crime was not so brutal as this one. "

FALL or A WATER TANK.

While seyenty-fiye employees were at
work in the building Of the Wabash
Mills Company, at Nixon street above
Umbria, Philadelphia, late yesterday
afternoon, a water tank with capac-
ity Of $1,000 gallons crashed through
five floors from the roof to the ground
without injuring any one.
The tank was perched above the
tower OF the building on the side facing
the canal. 1t crashed through floor
after floor, making rumbling noise
that was heard for half dozen blocks
and shaking the foundations of the
building. The joists and beams were
snapped off like toothpicks, windows
were broken by the jolt and gallons Of
water we're spilled on every floor.
Frightened at the racket and the jar
ring OF the structure the men rushed
from every part Of the establishment
to the end OF the building where the
accident occurred. They found only a
ragged hole from the basement to the
roof and the slaves of the huge tank
piled in a heap on the ground. II a
massive meteor had dropped out OF the
sky. it couldn't have made neater
shaft down through the five floors.

A CURIOUS instance Of the 'round-a-
bout" channels Of commerce is given
in the report of an American consul
stationed in the Malay peninsula. The
Malay peninsula, he states, produced
about 90 per cent of the worlds output
of tin. The total production is valued
at some $141 200, 600. The United
States consumes one-fourth Of this.
Now nearly one half Of the total eX-
ports of the country TO the Malay pen
.nsula are contained in tin cans, the
same tin sent from them in the crude
form. A great part of this export Is
an one gallon tin buckets containing
petroleum. After the contents Of these
cans have been used, the natives con
vert them into every conceivable house
hold utensi. The interior OF any Ma
lay or Chinese home in the peninsula,
SAYS the consul, is filled with American
tin cans of every size and shape. Holes
are punched in them for sleeves, they
are fashioned into dust pans baking
and cooking utensils andwatcr buckets.
Indeed the demand has become so
great that it is branching into an in
dustry and many men are employed
into making household utensils out Of
second hand American tin cans, the tin
for which was mined at their very feet.

COLONEL ASTOR AND EX-WIFE
MEET.

A dispatch from Newport to the
New York American says in part.
Col John Jacob Astor had not laid
eyes OH his former wife since their
divorce until last evening at the dance
given by Mr. and Mrs. Edward j. Ber-
wind, in honor of the officers Of the
Atlantic feet, when every one who is
any one socially was there.
Mrs. Astor wore decolette gown OF
black with her famous rope Of pearls.
Col. Astor came with Miss Roberta
Willard, recent debuiante, and his
son, Vincent. The son and mother
were most cordial. The boy danced
several times with her.
Col. Astor who dearly loves his
daughter Muriel, who lives with her
mother, met her today by accident, as
both were out in automobiles. They
stopped to chat, and seem extremely
happy at the meeting. What took
place is known only TO father and
daughter. All the AstOrs refuse to
talk on the subject of their domestic
relations, which are the gossip OF New
port. If Mrs. Aston is unhappy she is
not showing it outwardIy. 1t is true
that friends of both are using every
means to have the couple reunited, but
there seems little likelihood of this be-
ing accomplished at present.
Mrs Ogden Mills seems to be the
leading spirit in trying to bring the
couple together, but all her efforts have
so far failed. Mr.. Astor leaves today
for Bar HarbOr.
