Frafik Kraiger, a socialistof New York, cursed the American flag, Saturday night, and was attacked and fatally injured by John Schultze for his disloyalty. Kraiger died at the hospital, Sunday.

This is the fourteenth case of jumping from that structure, and the third in two woeks. The attendance at the World’s Fair, Sunday, was light. Exposition officials express srtisfaction at the attendance, but the concessionaries, who are to pay 25 per cent, of their gross receipts into the coffers of the Fair, are greatly disappointed *nd have made radical reductions in the working forces. ' A receiver has been appointed for the American and Trust Company at Omaha. The concern was interested in the Omaha and Houston Improvement Company, which failed at Houston, Tex. The American Savings Bank, controlled by the trust company, has been placed in the hands of the State bank examiner. The New York World’s crop reports from 700 localities throughout the country, Monday, show that wheat is badly damaged and the crop is certain to be short. Corn has passed the critical point and an enormous crop is assured. Oats, barley and all other minor crops will give an average yield. The tonnage of hay will be above the average. Fruit throughout the West is a failure. A Now York newspaper has collected reports on the conditions and prospects of crops on July 1 from the Western, Northwestern and Pacific coast States, Canada and Manitoba. They may besummarized as Wheat, much below the average; corn enormous; will probably be the largest crop ever raised; oats, barley and rye, large acreage and crop; hay, above the average; fruit, poor. 4 Chicago is beginning to realize on its in vestment in the World’s Fair. It is estimated that, in addition to the sums al ready spent in that city by visitors, the transient population will in the time yet remaining of the Exposition leave within the limits of the city the sum of $150,000,000. The estimate is believed to be conservative and the elation of the people of Chicago seems to have a substantial foundation. But the effect on the balance of the country is not so happy, as stringency In some quarters must naturally result. POREIQN. Anarchists are active in Spain. Riots still prevail in Paris and encounters between the police and mobs are of daily occurrence. The English government has decided to convene immediately a court-martial to investigate the loss of the Victoria.

Four bodiei have been already brought out. Pitiful scenes of distress and anxiety prevail about the mine. Senators Voorhees and Harris are believed to have been the most influential pleaders with the President for an early session of Congress. Their arguments ar< said to have changed the President’s determination not to call a session before September. Voorhees is chairman of the Senate finance committee. Tne visit of the Khedive of Egypt tc Constantinople is connected with his projected marriage to a daughter of the Sultan. The Khedive and the Princess have never seen each other. It is expected that the Khedive will visit Vienna, Berlin, Copenhagen and Paris. His object in going to Copenhagen is to meet the Czar. The wholesale reduction of salaries in the Pension Office has created a moderate panic, but the Indiana contingent has not suffered to any alarming extent, although it is expected that the end is not yet. Clerk Conover, of Richmond,' who foi many years enjoyed a salary of $1,400 pel annum, will now be asked to perform thq same labor for $900. STORM SWEPT. A Side Show fit the Fair Without a Permit. Chicago was visited at 5:30 Sunday afternoon by the most terrific storm it has experienced for several years and the rain fell in torrents. The earlier part of the day was well nigh perfect, cloudless and with a cool, gentle breeze blowing off Lakd Michigan. The storm gathered in the north Pnd northwest with marvelous quickness. All at once it was swooping over the city, leveling trees and spreading death and destruction among the many pleasure boats which were out upon Laka Michigan. Owing to the beautiful weather during the morning these boats were more numerous than is usual. Many narrow escapes were experienced, but so far as known the loss of life is limited to four, all of them lost by the capsizing of the sailing yacht Chesapeake, was overturned about two miles from shoro. The party on the boat consisted of nine people, and of these four were drowned. At the World’s Fair grounds little damage was done to the buildings, but the passengers who were aloft in the captive balloon had a close call, and the balloon itself after being brought to earth was blown into pieces and the pieces were carried out of the grounds. With a succession of cracks the giant silk covering was rent completely in two. The strong cordage which had covered the silk with a net? work snapped as though it had been packthread. One half blew one way and hall another. It all happened so suddenly that no one had time to think. THE KAISER TALKS. Emperor William Opens the Reichstag: In Person and Makes a Speech.

Irv Hoover, near Richmond, while on a fishing trip, slipped the bit from the horse’s ‘ mouth so tho animal could eat, and with the end of the halter fastened to his wrist sat down to eat his lunch.

Ralph Drake, of Columbus, who murdered Mrs. Ida Ward some weeks ago, has been declared of unsound mind.

Since then Drake has suffered intensely, and his mind is shattered. His physical downfall is duo to excessive dissipation. Elmer Dickey, nineteen years old, near Elwood, became violently insane, and escaping from the care of the family he made his way to the residence of John Main, in the same neighborhord, and assaulted him with a carpenter’s square, nearly killing him. The young man’s father, some years ago, while a patient at Eastern Indiana Hospital, escaped from his ward and drowned himself in a neighboring stream. The remains of A. H. Goeblentz, an in mate of the Vanderburg county asylum, were found lying in a ditch a short distance from that institution. The deceased belonged to the German nobility, and his family was a wealthy one. He came to America, however, in his twenty-seventh year, and soon after was naturalized. For years he was prosperous, but finally fell a victim to strong drink. He left tho asylum several days before his dead body was discovered.

The elder Lindsay was divorced from his wife before the child Sadorious was born She subsequently married Mr. Beers, and then Mr. Harris, both of this county. She kept the boy in ignorance of his father’s whereabouts, and it appears that the father took but little interest in his offspring because of his mother’s hostility. John W. Eiler and wife, of Fort Wayne, were married one year ago, and recently their domestic differences occasioned much neighborhood gpssip. Saturday night Mr. Eiler came home somewhat later than usual, finding his wife insane with jealous rage.

The Christian Endeavorors at MuateaC Arouse Hostility. At Friday night’s session of the Y. P. S. C. E. at Montreal, an overflow meeting was held in the open aif. A crowd of toughs that surrounded the square flung some stones, at the speakers, and several Endeavorers were struck about the head and shoulders with the missiles. The police made short work of them. This hostile demonstration is attributed to an attack on Catholics, made by a delegate from Bombay, the Rev. Sumanashae Vishnu Karmarthe. He said: “There is a remarkable correspondence between Romish worship and Hindoo worship. Romanism is but a new label on the old bottles of paganism containing the deadly poison of idolatry. Often the Hindoos ask when seeing the Romish worship, ‘What is the difference between Christianity and Hindooism?’ In India we have not only to contend with the hydra-headed monster of idolatry, but also the Octopus of Romanism.” There was some applause at this juncture. La Presse, a French newspaper, has an article which declares that Karmarthe’s address was a deliberate insult to the French people, and that they regarded it as such. Saturday night the ropes of the big tent were cut, and other acts of a hoodlumistic nature developed. Police wore active to keep the peace. The great majority of Endeavorer delegates condemn Kamarthe’s speech, which caused the trouble. This is an exact copy of the postal card received, Tuesday, from our able North Judson correspondent, and our thousands of readers can form their own conclusions; “Juli 3 I will be drunk tuda ond tumorrer and cant rite the nuse till the tail of this weak. Hopping this will sute you i am thine till after the fourth. ‘Jotter’.”— Starke County Democrat. A crane was killed near Goshen which measured eight feet four inches from tip of beak to toes.
