Corn is King, and It is lining Handsomely. The general outlook for an exceptional fine corn crop continues flattering. Except in the Dakotas and Minnesota, where it is rather late, and in Indiana, where it is maturing slowly, the crop is generally in advance of the season, and early corn is now practically made over the southern portion of the corn belt. Ohio—Drouth with eool nights. Corn fair in lowlands and black soil, and is earing. but on clay and uplands poor. Tree fruits ripening. Crops retrograding. Indiana—Cool, fair weather and local showers in central portion recently. Light local frost July 13th and 31st. Corn in good condition, maturing slowly, promising large crop but needs rain in localities. Oat threshing nearly over. Michig vn—Rain fall light and insufficient in southern section and upper peninsula; elsewhere more ample and very ten etieial showers. Corn is doing fairly well, but has teen stunted by the drouth, Potatoes in fair condition. Pastures still very poor. Berries of all kinds scarce, but fruit will be plentiful. IMPALED. Remarkable Accident To a Boy Who Jumped Over a Fence. Charlie Mason, the 16-year-old son of a farmer residing a few miles west of Lawrenceburg. Ind., was running through the woods with several companions, when their dog started up a ground hog. The animal attempted to escape through the rails of a fence, and young Mason jumped over the fence to intercept it, but landed on the sharp point of a strong sproutjthat h.id teen cut off about three feet from the ground. The stick penetrated his Ivody near the groin, and passing through his flesh came out near the shoulder and protruded 10 inches above the wound, and held him firmly impaled. His companions were unable to lift him from the wooden lance that held him aloft, and were compelled to cut it off at the ground and carry the suffering boy to his home, a mile away, with ttie sprout remaining sticking through his body. Dr. Lazenby succeeded, with assistance, in pulling the long pole from the boy 's body, but cannot as yet determine the prospects of his recovery. The spiout is as thick as an ordinary walking stick. i Deplorable Accident, Springfield iO.> special: An excursion party of Knights of Pythias from Springfield and Dayton left here to go into camp at Sandusky. The Third regiment, Ohio National guards, which lias been in camp near Sandusky, left there in a special train for their homes. In the train tearing the Knights of Pythias was a cannon which they loaded and fired at frequent intervals in the baggage car. The trains passed each other near Bellefontaine and just as they i*assed, the Knights of Pythias not knowing the approach of the other train, fired the cannon, the heavy wadding and powder being discharged into one of the coaches of the other train only three feet away, and injuring some twenty-five persons. Two or three will probably lose their sight, while an equal number have teen rendered deaf. Faithful Even Unto Death. Bart Regan, a driver for Brewer Norton of Anderson, Ind., was driving out with his wife and daughter. The horse plunged over a precipice and the trio were injured. Began was only bruised, and, lifting his wife and daughter, took them to tow n in a vehicle. The daughter attended her mother all the way, and, even when the physicians called, refused to have her injuries attended to until her mother was pronounced out of danger. Then she fainted, and shortly afterwards died.

Colored Men Leaving Texas. Paris (Texas) special: News reached here of a bad state of affairs prevailing in Delta County. One night last week every negro was notified that he nut t leave at once or he would b<s taken outand hanged. This caused a prefect stampede among the negroes, who, being thoroughly alarmed, began to move out the county at once, although good citizens tried to dissuade them, and offered them every protection. Valuable property has been abandoned, and the scare continues. Plunge From a Balloon. Professor Elliott and Mary Peak of Jackson, Mich., were probably fatally injured by falling from a balloon at Vandercook’s Lake, near that city. The couple made a double ascension and were to make a parachute drop. When 100 feet high the balloon split and the aeronauts fell headlong to the ground, Elliott struck first and Miss Peak fell on him. Miss Peak's arms and legs ware broken. Steam Boat Conflagration.

ROBERT J., The King of the Turf, Defeated By Joe Patchen. Cleveland special: Thursday was the banner day in the history of the Glenville track. It was estimated that 15.000 people saw the races. And such races—Robert J., : the king of the turf, is king no longer. The ! honor was wrested from him by that game ■ black stallion, Joe Patchen. in the most : exciting speed contest ever seen on a grand I circuit track. It has been know n since last j season that Joe Patches was a great race horse, but even his warmest admirers did! not believe that he was speedy enough to ; defeat the phenomena! Robert J., when driven by Ed. Geers, the “siler t man.” ; In the auction pools Robert ’. sold for $25 and the field for $5. In the books the 11 tmlin world beater was barred. He was sujqKi.'fd to have a cinch on the raee, and most of the betting was on Joe Patehen for a place. After the first heat, which was won by Robert J., $1 on the field would have brought SSO on Robert J. The second heat was the beginning of the surprise that was to follow. Tiie favorite and his rival came into the stretch neck and neck, after having paced the middle half in one minute. Jack Curry, who was driving Patchen, seemed to push the black whirlwind under the wire and be won by the shortest kind I of a nose in 2:04-4. The last two heats 1 were a trifle easier for the blaek stallion, | although he won by less than a length | each time. It was the fastest four heat i race ever paced and the last heat in 2:05 L,. was the fastest fourth heat ever paced. The time was 2:05Q, 2:o4i<, 2:05, 2:051 4 . FATAL WRECK.

The rear end crashed into the first section and ten cars were wrecked. A dozen tramps were riding in a furniture car which was smashed to splinters. When the train men came up they were horrified to see arms and legs of human teiiigs sticking from all parts of the wreckage. Thomas Collins, of South Bethlehem, Pa., lived just long enough to give his address and state that bis mother, Mrs. Dennis Collins, should be notified. Three others, badly mangled, were taken out. Two of them were dead and the third died on the way to the hospital. Michael Morgan of Cleveland, had his head cut open and may die. Adolph Sudden of New York, John Lugen of Chicago, Charles Eckert of Philadelphia, Louis Simpson of Pittsburgh, William McCoy and Charles Wilson of Soho, are badly hurt. To Buy Rome. The New York World’s London correspondent cables as follows: “A s ory comes to me which would seem preposterous except for its apparently unimpeachable authority. It is that a number of wealthy Spaniards have addressed a serious communication to prominent and rich Catholics in France, Austria, and England, proposing to raise a fund to purchase Rome from Italy and thus free the Pope from his imprisonment (albeit voluntary | and make him again a temporal ruler. Italy's almost utterly bankrupt condition is quoted as a reason for the belief that the Government would accept the proposition. The scheme seems wild enough were it not that Italy's condition is now one of the most alarming elements in the European situation *nd rapidly driving her helplessly taxridden people toward anarchy.” Favors a Protectorate for i'awaii. San Francisco special: Congressman Hilbome, who has spent some weeks in Hawaii, has returned. So far from intending to urge the annexation of those islands by the United States, he is emphatically opposed to such a course, on the ground that the population is not prepared for self-government. He says that the present government is not satisfactory to the people there, and that if left alone the Queen will likely be reinstated. He says that President Dole is popular. He thinks the Japanese are the most aggressive and dangerous. Mr. Hilborne favors a close reciprocity arrangement that will secure us their market, and a strong protectorate. He favors the laying of an ocean cable by our government for financial and national reasons. Mrs, Talmage’s Death. Mrs. T. DeWitt Talmage died at Danville, N. Y.

At Valparaiso, Ind., Louis Rich and his ■on George, aged 10, entered a field in which was kept a vicious bull. While at work the bull charged down upon the pair and began to gore and trample the old man. The boy had a revolver and fired several shots at the enraged animal, but did not succeed in getting him away from his lather, who had been thrown down and was being terribly mangled by the brute. At length the infuriated animal left the dying father and attacked the son. The boy continued to shout at him, and after temg quite badly injured himself killed the bull. The elder Bich lived one hour, and the boy is dying. The Nicholson Law. Judge Taylor, of the Circuit Court, at Terre Haute, Ind., has decided the test ease of the Nicholson law, brought by the Terre Haute Brew’ng company. The court room was crowded with .spectators.

HE CURES BY FAITH. WONDERS WROUGHT BY JOHN A. DOWIE’S AID. Either the Man la a Worker of Miracle» or Else He I» a Monstrous Fakir—A Nice Point of Law to Be Settled. Prays Away Disease. A unique case of great interest is soon to come before the courts of Chicago. The question to which au answer must be given is whether Juhn A. Dowie is possessed with the power of working miracles of healing such as are attributed to the Apostles and Christ himself, or whether the man is a mountebank, a conscious humbug, who has deluded people for his own gain. It is but a few years that Mr. Dowie has been at work and already his fame is as wide as the continent and not a day passes that does not witness a crowd of pilgrims from every section of the country who have come to have their sickness healed by him. He started with ore small wooden building where religious exercises were performed aud cures A i “ \M | JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE. were made and this was called Zion’s Tabernacle. Now he has two others, but the first remains the head of them all. It is these wooden buildings which have been the means of bringing Dowie into court. People who live about these have become disgusted with the crowd of halt and maimed and blind who are constantly flocking to these buildings and tfcey have prayed the authorities that the tabernacles may be suppressed as nuisances. It is maintained on the other side that they ere beneficial institutions, inasmuch as they help suffering humanity, and thus are

> I 1 X r ' I 2 TIIE ZION TABERNACLE.

worthy of the law’s protection. Thus the question resolves itself into this: whether true cures are performed there or is the whole thing a fake. This is the delicate question the courts must decide. The Gift of Healing. Dowie, the head of this healing movement. was a Congregational minister in Sydney. Australia. He was an orthodox believer in the dogmas of that sect, nor did he allow his interpretation of Scripture to go contrary to authority. For years this was his mental attitude. Then a plague broke out in the city. People died by hundreds; one after another his own congregation was smitten. The physicians were in d< pair and human skill appeared vain. Dowie sat himself down to think when, suddenly, there flashed into his mind that verse of the Bible which says thgt the prayer of faith shall heal the sick. Instantly he arose and went to the house of a parishioner where lay two children whose lives had been abandoned by the doctors. He knelt down, prayed for them and laid his hands upon them and they—arose well. Such is Dowie’s story of his first cure. Ever since then, he says, he has gone on with ever-increasing faith and he claims that 18.000 people owe to his method their cure from all manner of diseases. Dowie does nut claim that any power of healing rests in himself; his whole mission is to pray and animate the faith of the patient, for it is the man’s individual faith alone which affects the cure. The laying on of hands and the admonition to arise and walk in the Lord’s name Dowie regards as ceremonies and as such parts of the divine institution of healing But .■'/' 'Wgb'X MRS. DOWIE faith is the main thing; without this success is impossible, but so great is Dowie’s own faith that he can inspire the minds of those who possess it in a less degree than himself. I he opponents of Dowie are prepared to show, they say, that the cures wrought hnvo l, een performed only on persons troubled with hysteria or else are the results of pure delusion. Dowie, on the otter hand, points to a mass of affidavits made by those who claim cures and their friends to the effect that they have been really made well.

THE LARGEST LENS. Work on It Has Been Finished at Cambridge, Mass. After a year's work the 40-tneh lens of the Yerkes telescope has been finished at Cambridge, Mass., and will te shipped soou to its destination. This lens is four inches larger than that of the Lick telescope. With this monster telescope great things are predicted in the field of astronomy, and it is expected to reveal some interesting facts of Mars and its canals. The lens of the Yerkes telescojie, when the glass came from Paris in the rough, and before a stroke of work had teen done upon it to fashion it into its present delicate and beautiful shape, «> st $40,000. Probably the grinding and polishing of the lens, which hare been going on for two years, cost as much again, while several hundred thousand dollars were required to furnish the grounds and buildings for the new observatory, with its numerous instruments and the elaborate and enormous brass tube for the great telescope, besides the endowment requir-

ed to supply a permanent fund for the maintenance of the institution. The great crown glass now at Cambridge is about three inches thick in the middle and one and a quarter inches at the outer edge. The two pieces that make up the lens weigh together 1,200 pounds. Being fragile, in spite of their great size, they must be handled with the utmost care. The ww' F y THE YERKES TELESCOPE: LESS. lens will soon te shipped from Cambridge to the shores of Lake Geneva, in Wisconsin. where the observatory is to te situated. MORTON DEFENDS PACKERS. Denies the Statement That Inferior Meats Come from Chicago. Absolute denial is given by the agricultural department to the report from Germany that Chicago packers buy the most inferior qualities of beef for canning and packing purposes. The statement was made in a German journal, which asserted that, owing to the jaior quality of the beef, it was injurious and wrong to sell it in Germany. Secretary Morton said, euni’Frning the alory. "Personally, with a veterinary inspector, I have several times passed through the larger beef-canning estahlishmert- in Chicago. My visits to those establishments were always unheralded, and therefore there were tin spe' cial preparations made for a general viewing of their premises and their methods of slaughtering, <><>oking and canning beef. From those thorough, official investigations I am justified in denying as wholly untrue all that is asserted in that statement in regard to American canned meats." Told in a Few Lines.

TWO MOBS IN A RIOT. DESPERATE RACE RIOT AT SPRING VALLEY, ILL. Italians Commit a Brutal Crime Uuder the Plea of Avenging a Com. rade’s Murder—Men, Women and Children Are Shot and Clubbed. Fend of Long Standing. A settlement of 200 negroes, who hrs in what is called the "Location.” near No. 3 shaft, two miles west of Spring Valley, 111., was attacked by 500 white miners Many shots were fired and bricks and missiles of every description were used by the combatants. Forty of the negroes were wounded and several of them may die. The uprising was cSum-u by a white man, an inoffensive aud popular young Italian, being held up, robbed, and almost murdered by a gang of five negroes, between the city and the “Location.” Barney Role, the man who was assailed, was coming from Spring Valley on his way home when he was suddenly ordered to halt by four or five negroes, who made him throw up his hands while they robbed him of SSO and his watch. After robbing Role the negroes fired five shots into his body, three taking effect. The wounded man could give to description of the mon except that they were negroes whom he had frequently seen around the “Location.” This robbery and attempt at murder happened at 1 o’clock Sunday morning. The police were at once notified, and a force of twelve extra men was put on to hunt the murderers down. At 7 o'clock in the morning five colored men were arrested and brought to the jail. By this time the affair was pretty well known throughout the city and a big crowd gathered around the city bastile. There were cries of lynching. Some one rang the fire bell, augmenting the crowd still more, ’intii the police were compelled to remove the prisoners and bring them to a better place of safety. As the mob became greater it became bolder. A brass band was got out and about 500 men marched to General Manager Dalzell's house. A committee went in to see the manager and told him the whites wanted him to discharge every colored man or they would run them out of town themselves. Manager Dalzell refused to submit to their demands. He was jeered, and the mob struck out on its march to the “Location.” When they were about half way there Manager Dalzell, by taking a circuitous route, headed off the enraged whites. Mayor Delmorga. who is an Italian, was in the buggy with him. The Mayor stepped out of the buggy and addressed the crowd. He counseled peace, but they brushed him aside, saying if Dalzell would not run such a murderous set of negroes out of town they could. They continued the march. A little way further they met Chief of Police Hicks and a few deputies. The officers were unable to eheck the progress of the march. Mob Makes the Attack. The mob. headed by the Italian band, with music playing, then went direct to the negro village. The column proceeded slowly and the band rendered several national anthems. About fifty members of the mob were armed with sltbtguas. rilles, and revolvers, and the others carried clubs and sharpened sticks. The men wanted blood, and the constant warcry, given in Italian, was: "Kill the niggers! Drive them out! Blood for blood!" The negroes hud been warned of the intended onslaught of the Italians, but were deceived by the appearance of the brass band. As houses were reached the rioters struck out the windows and where doors were locked broke them down. The interior was ransacked, the women insulted, and the men dragged forth and clubbed and shot. That there was not a large number of Immediate fatalities was not the fault of the rioters, as they used every endeavor in their power to kill the men outright. One reason many negroes escaped was that the w eapons of the rioters were mostly old, rusty guns that had not been used for many years, and in addition the men were not skilled is the use of them. Had modern rifles been discharged in the same manner as the old shotguns and muzzleloading rifles the list of dead would have been enormous. The raid of the Italian miners upon the negroes had been contemplated for several weeks. In fact, ever since the negroes were imported into Spring Valley at the close of the three months' strike la ' summer the miners speaking a foreign tongue have been laying plans to drive them out.
