EFFECTS OF DROUTH

Groves of Beech Trees and Oaks Ruined.

AN UNHEARD OF OCCURRENCE.

The Oldest Inhabitant Can Not Recall a Similar Event—Fighting Saloons—More Evidence Against Holmes—Two Men

Killed by a Boiler Explosion—Other Happenings Within the State's Borders.

LOGANSPORT, Ind., Aug. 30.—There are several features of the present drouth in Indiana which make it one long to be remembered. For the first time in the memory of the oldest inhabitant beech trees are dying in groves. I11 almost every woods inspected many trees will be noticed with dead leaves fluttering from their boughs and the bark falling off in heaps.

The roots of the beech do not penetrate far into the earth, but spread out near the surface, and the long drouth has deprived them of their essential moisture. Oaks have also suffered with other shallow-rooted timber, while the huckleberry trade lias been all but ruined by the withering of the shrubbery.

Since July 31 there have been but three light rains of a purely local chn1--acter in northern Indiana, and these have not. perceptibly affected the prevailing drouth. The Wabash, Miss' sinewa Saltimoiiie, St. Mary's and White river all have their origin not far from Union Uity, besides a number of other smaller streams. The principal watershed o!: Indiana is located there, and the present season is an illustration of what would happen should there ever be a complete failure in the initial supply.

The streams named are now mere rivulets, the Wabash, which is the most important of them all, being so low at Bluffton that the city is unable to get water from it sufficient for its domestic uupply. The Salamonie in its upper portion is completely dry, and a large part of the Mississinewa's course is marked only by pools. general shortage of crops has been the natural consequence of this deficiency in moisture. The normal rainfall for the period from Jan. 1 to Aug. 13 would be 80.53 inches, but this season ouly 13.78 inches has fallen. A shortage of 16.75 is app:irent.

Pastures are blown bare and the hay crop will be a failure. Already hay. is being sli jd into Indiana from western Illini. ..ml country more remote by the train load. But little of the tame varieties can be found upon the market. The commonest kind of wild hay is retailing at from $10 to $12 per ton, and con Mimes in extraordinary demand. What these prices may advance to during the coming winter would be difficult to predict, but it is safe to say that the real extremity of the situation has not yet been manifested.

The Indian Territory has first demonstrated its commercial importance by throwing itself into the breach caused by this famine of hay. A very saleable article comes from there, packed in bales, which weigh 250 and 500 pounds, and retails at £14 per ton. The hay, it is claimed, costs $5 per ton in the territory and tiie freight amounts to $7 more, making it cost on board the cars here $ 12 per ton. But for this supply, what little there is of the home grow ll, would doubtless command prices ranging from $25 to $30.

Canning factories report a very discouraging outlook, because of the shortage of the corn and tomato crops, and about the only reason the Hoosier farmer finds for congratulation this year is the unusual abundance of fruit.

lloinies Used Aconite.

INDIANAPOLIS,

Aug. 30.—Late yester

day afternoon while some small boys were digging around the Holmes cottage at irvington they unearthed two bottles of aconite, one of which was empty. They were found near where some of the Pietzel boy's bones were found and were buried by H. ii. Holmes. From this discovery it is thought that Holmes also used aconite 111 disposing of his victims. The quantity found would indicate that he intended murdering the girls here also, but was frightened away. Detective Geyer and Inspector Gary leave for Philadelphia this evening.

Preaches in llis Cell.

BRAZIL, Ind., Aug. 30.—A maniac was placed in jail here last night for endeavoring to force his way in F.

Moor's house, west of town. On his person were found letters showing that his name was Connors and that he had been educated in Ireland for a priest, but had left the Catholic church and for a numlv of years had been lecturing in the Protestant churches throughout the county. He is a fluent talker and constantly preaches in his cell. It is evident that he became insane recently.

Fire in Muck Lands.

LOGANSPORT, Ind., AUK. 30.—Sparks from a burning brush pile caused a lire last week in the muck lands of thct Twin lakes, north of here, and many acres have already been burned over. The rains of the last few days have extinguished the blaze upon the surface, but is continues to eat itsf way under ground and the farmers have dug trenches and filled them with clay in order to check its progress. D. J. Calvert, ditch commissioner, is one of She heaviest losers from the fire.

.Sawmill Boiler Explodes.

HUNTINGTON, Ind., Aug. 30.—A terrible accident happened at the farm of John MeCabe, about 12 miles east of this ity, at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. A boiler in a sawmill owned by John Flaugh exploded, killing the proprietor's son .1 aeob and another employe by the nanio of Frank Fahl. The remains were blown quite a distance from the mill, wmch is a total wreck. Both victims are men of families. The accident was dus to a lack of water in the boiler. •,

Fighting the Saloon.

SHOALS, Ind., Aug. 30.—The ladies of the Woman's Christian Temperance union have closed the canvass of Halbert township, and have filed a remonstrance under the Nicholson law against granting liquor licenses to Charles H. Mohr. They secured 11 more signatures than required under the law. The case will be fought before the connty commissioners next Monday, and if the ladies are successful it will close every saloon iu this city. 'k/.

CAMPOS DENIES IT.

He Has Not Written Any letter on the State of Affairs in Cuba. •, HAVANA, Aug. 30.—The reports recently published in reference to a pretended letter from General Campos relative to the great proportions assumed by the rebellion in Cuba, and the proposition for the establishment of autonomy for the island, are pronounced in government circles entirely false. Governor General Campos has not written any letter to the Spanish consul at Jamaica, it is claimed, nor to any one else concerning the project of autonomy and the progress of the troubles in Cuba.

The merchants of Havana are preparing for a public demonstration on the occasion of the arrival of the troops from Spain. Boats decorated with flags and banners, carrying bands of music, will meet the steamer conve vng the Spanish troops outside the hai

The

city will be gaily decorated and brilliantly illuminated. Public olTicials say that they are more confident than ever that General Campos will soon be able to bring about an era of peace and good feeling in Cuba.

Ex-Federals at the Encampment.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 30.—Arrangements have been completed whereby Company A, the only veteran company of ex-federal soldiers in the United States doing national guard duty, will attend the G. A. R. convention in a body, accompanied by a large party of friends. The veterans will leave Kansas City on a solid special train over the Burlington road for Atlanta, Ga., and an extended trip through the south, stopping at Louisville for the G. A. R. encampment. The party will go direct to Atlanta from here over the Burlington road and the Lake Erie and St. Louis.

Aluminum itfiue.

LITTLE ROCK, Aug. 30.—A Georgia syndicate has purchased 980 acres of hind near Bryant, in Saline county, for the purpose of taking out Beauxite clay found there. There are only three deposits known to exist in the world. One at Beaux, France, one in Georgia and one in Saline county, Ark. The Arkansas deposit yields 41 per cent aluminum. The syndicate proposes to erect a $200,000 plant at Bryant for the purpose of developing the aluminum.

Will View the Works.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—As a result of the recommendations of the Chicago drainage canal board, the engineer corps of the war department will make observations and take measurements so as to determine the probable effect of the operation of the proposed canal upon the level of the great lakes. No further steps can be taken until this is accomplished, and it is announced that the observations will be started as soon as practicable.

Tenting the Prize Fighting Law.

AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 30.—It has been intimated around the state house today that Governor Culberson is looking with suspicion at the announcement that Collins and Jim Cavanaugh will fight in Dallas Sept. 7. It is believed in official circles that this fight is being arranged in order to get the question of the validity of the Texas prize fighting law in the higher court for decision before the time of the Corbett-Fitzsim-mons fi{?ht.

Extent of the Bawnmore Wreck.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.—Advices from the wreck of the steamer Bawnmore near Bandon, Or., are that 2S of the crew of 30 were taken off in safety. One of the crew was killed and another fatally injured. The steamer will be a total loss, as she is lying on the rocks in a heavy sr-a and pounding to pieces. The vessel is valued at $125,000 and the cargo at *00,000 some insurance on both.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.—The attorneys for J. S. Davis, the young forger of Rochester, arrested for passing fraudulently made drafts on local merchants, yesterday presented a $4,000 bond in the superior court and an order for the release of Davis was signed.
