But as matters are now situated it is impoesible to obtain them as fast as deeired.

E Sullivan "I never saw eggs run so badly as at present. Out

one lot of nin« cases and another of thirteen cases received one dsv last week not a single good egg was i. Over 200 cases have been iec.-ived lately which have not netted one dollar. Almost every egg received is bad, and ther is for us to do but destroy them."

nothing The car works will he iu operation at a greater capacity than previous to the fire by next Friday. The vtri us departments*™ Dow about completed, and as fast «s received the new machinery wiil be placed in position.

Parke County'a Railroad Taxation. Special to the Express. EOCKVILI.E, Ind., August G.—The state auditor has sent the county auditor the assessment of railroad property in Parke county as made by thet tate board of eqitftlizUion. It amounts to over half a million dollars, and shows thit the five roads patsing through the county pay mote taxes than they are given credit for. Eich township will get its pro rata of tha amount and aid greatly in the several township*. The roads assessed nrea» follows: Chicgo & Indiana Coal, $183,446 Fvausville, Terre Hante & Chicago, $48,380 Indianap:)lie, Decatur A Springfield, $134 369 Tndianfpolis & St Lo'ji", $18,391 Terro Haute & Ligansport, $155,889.

The total amount of railroad taxables in the county amounts $540,475, aud gives to the treasurer's iron box a enug sum.

THE EFFECT OF THEDROUTH-

Reports from Many Point* 111 the WeiternStnte*. CHICAGO, August 0—The Times this morning gives reports from many points in the western states as to the effect of the drouth. In Illinois the dry spell has been especially diastrous. The yield of hay hes been light, tbe crop of oats is considerably below the average, while prospects for corn are decidedly discoareging. From present advices it is reasonable to state that at)out half the usual yield will be obtained. Many connties leport prospects for considerably lees than half a crop, while only a very f%w, especially favored localities, report an average. About 50 per cent, of the usual yield would seem to be indicated by the advices from the state. In the grand corn centre in the middle of the state many of the faimers sre cutting up the stalks for fodder, believing that rains if they come at all, will come too late to do any good. The facts as to the situation in this portion of the ptate are said to hive been suppressed in rmer reports.

Ir. Indiana also the drouth hiss done much damage Rtin has not fallen in many places for more than four weeks, and tbe rrcent showers have been of little bent lit. In some localities tho corn corp is a total fsilure, and in no portion if the btate is the ordinary yield expected. From one third to one-fourth of tbe crop ia the tenor cf report from this state. Ilay is hut a poor crop, and oats are short of the usual production. In Wisconsin tho drought peems to have been leas destructive. Some l-'C-lilies report a falling oil in corn, but tha crop in most sections of the state seems likely to been average, while the oat crop is fair. The same seetos to bo tin-3 of Michigan and OHo.

West (f the Mississippi the advices are much more encourstinc. Plentiful rains have fallen recently in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, which have been cf untold benefit to the corn. The secretary of the Iowa Agricultural S^ciet.v reports a probable corn yield of 200,000 000 bushels, which is some 30,000,000 busheU in excess of the short crop of last year. Advices from vsrious portions of the state bear out this view. In oclv a very few locali ies is the corn poor. Some of the counties, indeed, report prospects of a bigger crop than usual, and ia a!mi»t every locality tbe stand is e: cellent. The pro-pects in Kucsas snd Missouri arc for a fair average crop. Reports from 200 points on the Kansa-.Ci'.y & Fort Scott road indicate an average vield of Ihirty five bushels to the acre. In Kansas the drouth has been sevfre, but recent rain9 hive improved the situation, and an avetsgo crop is looked ir. Tbe southern half of Nebraska hss been badly scorched, acd the corn there is poor, but theproepects in other parte of tUeSta'e and along tho North Platte are much better, and at least half an axersge crop is promised for the State.

A of L, Insurance Scheme. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August t. A secret circular has bten issued from the headquarters of the Knights of Labor to its members proposing a p:an of incur arc- to which all knights who dtsire may belocg, regardless of age, but membership is not to be m*.de compulsory. The initiation fee is to be $2 and annual dues are to be $1. The assessments from which a death ben-fit of $1,000 is to be paid, range from 70 cents for persons IS years of age to $5 60 for these of 70 years, and assessments are only to be levied when the nec.-csary sum of $1,000 is not in the tre?sniy wH money received from assessments is not to be ased for toy other purpose.

A HISSING GIRL.

A Relative of tha Poet WhittUr MjtUrU oailj OtMppnn. NEW YOBK, August 6 —A Danvere, Mass., special says: ''The unexplained disappearance of Phoebe Woodman, the Eccomplished and beautiful daughter of the p-et Whittiers cousin, Mrs. C. C. Woodman, who liv«s with her distinguished relative at Oak Knoll, beautifal country seat in Danvers, hfs been the chief topic for several days. The motive which prompted her disapdearance is a mystery. Although an adopted daughter, Mis* Phoebe was the idol of the family and was especially loved by Mr. WhiMier, wbj er tertaked for her tbe affection of the father. It was while the poet was 'pending a brief vacation in the New Hampshire hills that some circumstance caused the girl to break the associations which for over twelve years b»ve boned her to more than lriends, and start for the far West, leaving no trace of her whereabouts, and, so far as can be learned, assigning no csuje for ber ret. On the afternoon of July 28, her hotse, tied to a tree, was found standing in a grove near the railway station. Close at hand was a riding habit, which gave rise to the belief that some c-imehad been committed Ioq.iiryat the railway station brought out the fact that the young woman had taken a train to Bos ton. Search was made, but all trace of her was lost. The news was reluctantly told to Mr. Whittier, and he was cast down with grief.

Yesterday a telegram was received from the young woman at East Saginaw, Mich Baying that sbe was at that place with friends. She did net explain her departure nor signify any intention to return. Tbe telegram was at once sent to Mr. Whittier, and he advised one of the family to go at once to the yonne girl and try ti induce her to return. One of the family left last night and is now on her way to Eist 8agiaaw.

Lord Colin Campbell Cle*u Broke. LONDON, August 6.—According to the evidence given before the commissioner of the London bankruptcy court, Lord Colin Campbell has not only been reduced to dire financial straits as a result of his suit for divorce against his wife, hut he has al absorbed all the money which would have come to him in tbe event of the death of his father. His debts now amount to $80,000, while his entire aesets, consisting of furniture, jewelry, etc have been appraised at $500 The amount to which be is entitled under the marriage settlement, npon the death of bis father, is $35,000, but this mount was advanced him by tbe duke for the purposes of litigation in the divorce cise, and he has therefore executed a deed releasing his interest to the legacy in question. He has now no vieible meats of tHppo either for the present or fa: ure, and is understood to be living upon the bounty of bis parents.

An American Bank for Mexico. CITY OF MEXICO, via Galveston, Au gust 6 —It is rumored in financial circles than an American bank with a large capital will he established here with connections in England and France. It is believed that tbe iacreasing trade cf the country justifies the expansion of banking facilities at this time. A branch of the Bank of London will be established at Puebla on the 15 inst. Heavy im portations sre coming in, and the treasury receipts are fully up to anticipations. Tha he%vy rains have ceased and the railways are running regularly.

The Canadian Knighte.

TOEONTO, Oai., August 6.—There is some talk among the Knights of Labor here as to their breaking away from the general a* seably. The Canadian Knights have been sending levies to Philadelphia to pay for legislative committees and for work which is of no practical u«e to them. They have not been allowed ai funds for a Canadian legislative committee, which they think the} are entitled to. The question is likely to be brought forward by the Canadian delegates at the next meeting of the general assembly at Minneapolis.

«ha King: of Holland III.

PARIS, August 6.—A dispatch to the Intransigeant from Luxemburg saye that the kind of Holland is ill, and that there is much commotion concerning the sue cession to the throne in the event of hfs death. The ex-Grand Duke of Hesse will be a candidate. It is feared that international complications will arise over the succession.

Foreign Note*.

One hundred and six government aided immigrants sailed by the steamer Lake Winnepeg from (iaeenstown for Montreal to-day.

It is reported that Premier Ristics, with the consent of their majesty*, is trying to procure a divorce for King Milan and Queen Natalie.

M. Magnier, editor of the Evensment, has fought a duel with M. Reinach, of the Republiqiie Francaiee. The weapons used were swords. M. Reinach was wounded.

Up to tha present time no difficulties have arisen at London through the collapse of the San Francisco wheat de 1 It is staled that the wheat held in Liverpool for the American ring is held under good margins. It is feared, however, that the trade h.'s suBered, and that failures will ensue.

The cur, in his telegram, to the widow of M. Katkoff, said: "Withall true Russians I also deeply deplore your and our

S3 cf tha powt.i'ul voice of your late husband, who, imbued with a fervant love for his country, wa* able to sustain national sen iment and influence the sound «pnse of Russians in times of gloom for Russia. We ourselves, do not forget hisservic?s, acd all unite with you in one unanimrus supplication for the repose of his soul

After Fo jer.
