St. Paul has during the year erected 3,500 residences and 443 business blocks, the

amount expended thereupon being nearly 112,000,000. W. 8., of Cleveland, father of We American beauty, so famousJn Europe, gives jfetice that he wIU-prosecute any one fodhd selling photpgyaphs of Miss Je The Chicago IWbvneprtafa iotasas, Nebraska and Dakota, embracing all of the great corn belt especially susceptible to sudden changes in the harvesting season. The reborts show, as a whole, that new corn in Hlinois, Indiana, and lowa is in a condition anything but satisfactory. Much of the crop was reported soft some weeks ago, ana the continuance of warm weather has prevented its hardening to any appreciable degree. In many cases it has been found necessary to empty the cribs to dry the corn, which, in several localities, is being fed to stock. In some portions of Indiana and on a few bottom lands in Illinois recent* floods have worked great injury to the crop still in the fields. Corn from Kansas and Nebraska seed is very generally reported in bad condition. While the yield in Kansas and Nebraska is fully up to the average, there appear to be good grounds for the belief that the quality is not so good as at first reported, and that there will be a shortage in the higher grades in those States. Corn in Dakota is as yet much of an expert men*, being generally grown on the sod, and the results are uneven. A, man named John W. Hunter, alias John W. Russell, was arrested at Peoria last week in connection with the Zora Burps murder, taken to Lincoln, Hit, and confined in jfliil. He was at one time 'in the employ of Carpenter, for whom Zora Burns also worked. Hunter has been in Lincoln for several days recently, and acted somewhat peculiarly. The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe roacl will soon begin extensions from Fort Worth and Dallas for outlets independent of Jay Gould. At the consecration of Archbishop Elder, in Cincinnati, the six brothers of the aged prelate were present. The seven had not met together for fifty years. A sister aged 83 lives at Emmittsburg, Md., but is too feeble to attempt a journey. Five mounted men raided the town of Bisbee, Arizona, a few nights ago, killed J. C. Tappiner, J. A. Nolly and D. A. Smith, and wounded Mrs. Roberts. They then robbed Castenada’s store of $1,200. The whole business was accomplished so rapidly that no at tempt was made at defense. The men are believed to be the same who robbed the Southern Pacific train at Gage station last month. The robbers fled in the direction of Sonora.
