APPLE AND PEACH CROPS.

Mnch Larger Yield Thau I'or Serersl Tear* InLICAT«lJ WASHINGTON, Aug*,-15T**-Tbe

official

returns for August show that the prospective fruit crops of the country, taken as a whole is much larger than for several years. The reports follows:

Apples—The crop met with no serious obstacles to u«voiopment during July. The influences upon which the proper maturity of the crop naturally depends have been so favorable that a very general increase in the index figures has resulted. There art-, however, somu very important states in which the crop promise is less than half the normal product. This is the case in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Michigan and Wisconsin, the percentages rAiging from 28 in Michigan to 49 in Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and Iowa show conditions between 50 and 00, or indicated products at or slight.iy above the normal. On the other hand, 15 states—New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado and the Pacific coast states, excluding states not commercially important, have a condition of 80 or over, and of tnese six—New Jersey, Kentucky, Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri and Colorado are above 90 Kentucky going to 101, Ohio and Illinois with conditions 78 and 72 respectively, stand between the high and tlie low. The crop is reported generally short in the northern, but abundant in r1^- southern portions of these stales. Iwe general average of condition is 71.: against 44 last year.

Peaches—The average condition of peaches Aug. 1 was 8-3.6, against 2'L'i in lfc'J4. The prospective yield has declined heavily in j^eiaware, where about onethiru the normal crop is now indicated. New Jersey lias also suffered, the percentage failing ii points, and resting now at (ii. The conditions are high in Connecticut and Georgia, respectivelv 92 and 104. Maryland hopes for a twothirds crop Virginia lor something under that portion. A very short crop is indicated lor Ohio, and for Michigan about half the normal product. On the Pacific coast conditions approximate the general average for the country. Much complaint of dropping and rotting is made, the latter especially in the south.

DEPARTED FROM RECTITUDE.

Two I'oKtiiiHKterB Skip Out With Oth«r Men'* Wives Leaving Their Own. CHARLESTON,

W. Va., Aug. 15.—The

authorities here have been informed of two very similar cases of departure from rectitude on the part of government officials. A Mr. Walker, postmaster at Bee, Putnam county, has eloped with a Mrs. Stqver, the handsome wife of a near neighbor. He left a wife and five grown children. Mrs. Stover is the mother of eight children, four of whom are living, and she took a 7-months-old baby with her. She is 31 years old and Walker is 36. He is one oi the most prominent merchants in Putnam county.

In the other case Albert J. Saulsbury. postmaster at Clay Court House, eloped with a Mrs. Gross, each leaving several small children to be supported by their former partners. Saulsbury is said to be short in his accounts.

One Woman Fatal 17 Shot, Another Wounded and a Suicide.

CHICAGO,

Aug. 15.—Frank Sweet, a

janitor, fatally shot Mrs. Alice Burr last night, slightly wounded Mrs. J. B. Nichols and then put a bullet through his own brain. Sweet was a brother-in-law of Mrs. Burr and desired her to come and live with him. She had left her husband on a former occasion anil announced her intention of going back to him.

Sweet corn batted her resolution and last night visited her house for the purpose of getting her to leave her husband. She refused, and he at once shot her through the neck. Mrs. Nichols was struck by a bullet which Sweet intended for the husband of the woman he had fatallyishot. Sweet was janitor of the Cliamplain building, one of the finest office buildings in Chicago.

Still Protecting the Gold Hewrv*. WASHINGTON,

Aug. 15.—United States

Treasurer Morgan yesterday received a telegram fx-om Assistant Treasurer Jordan at New York stating that the bond syndicate had deposited $1,658,000 in gold in exchange for legal tenders, and later in the day anothe'r telegram was received stating that $1,150,000 in gold had been withdrawn for export to Europe. This leaves the gbld reserve at the close of business $102,431,061. This second deposit by the syndicate confirms the officials in the belief that it fully intends to see to it that the $100,000,000 gold reserve is not invaded.
