Tli Czar's VUlt to Berlin, f Copyright, lsea, by the New York Uociatd Presa.1 Berlin, Sept. 21. The Emperor will return to Potsdam to-morrow. Prince Bismarck will conie to Berlin on Wednesday. Connt Herbert Bismarck, all the Cabinet Ministers, and General Von Schweinitz. the German embassador to Russia, are gammoned to a meeting on Thursday. The assembling of political potencies is due to the Czar's coming visit, for which definite arrangements are to be made. He will reach Kiel on the 27th inst. Although the Czar has expressed nn earuest wish that his reception be as quiet as possible, and that no international subject be pressed upon his attention during his stay, Prince Bismarck appears determined to invest the interview with all possible importance. If his plans are effected, instead of a short and uncere-inonion-j visit, the Czar will be treated to a number of court banquets and a diplomatic dinner. The absence of M. De Giers, the Kussiau Foreign Minister, indicates that the Czaris determined to refuse Prince Bismarck a political conference. In order to emphasize his desire to avoid the discussion of foreign atfairs, the Czar has ordered M. De Giers to leave St. Petersburg on Tuesday for a fortnight's holiday, which is to be spent in the provinces. The Czar's personal feelings toward the Emperor have recently been excited br an incident arising from his conferring" the order of St. Stanislaus on a Bulgarian. Major Grnetf. who kidnaped Prince Alexander of Battenburg, and who is now a -Russian pensioner. The Emperor, at a military diuner, in the course of conversation, expressed wonder that the decoration should have been given to a traitorous soldier. Three Prussian officers who wore tho decoration of the order of St. Stanislaus were present at the dinner, and heard tho Emperor's words. They forthwith returned the insignia to St. Petersburg, with a collectively signed protest, stating- that they could not wear an order that had been riven to a mutineer. The Czar's exaspera;ion was so intense that he demanded, through Count Schouvaloff. the Russian embassador here, the punishment of the om'eers. The Emperor placed them under rrest for unauthorized correspondence with a foreign government, but after two days he ordered their release. Ulegul Election Prevented In Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City. Ind.T.. Sept. 21. To-day was one of tho most exciting days in the history of the city. About six weeks agoa .'action of the citizens, after failing to induce the Council to call a convention for the purpose of framing an amended charter, .rained fone themselves, and called an ;lection for the people to vote on it. As t provided for the immediate ousting f the present city government, the United States troops, under the authority " General Merritt. prevented the election. Two or three weeks ago a charter prepared by a committee authorized by the Council was voted down. The original charter faction then called an election on their charier for to-day, again without the consent of tho Mayor and Council. General Merritt again sent orders to Colonel Snyder to present the election, and this morning Capt. O. F. Stiles, in command of the troops here, ?arried out these orders at the point of tho bayonet. . Tho polls were opened early in the morning and a large crowd assembled. A number of persons endeavored to vote, when Captain Stiles threw his companv across the street and gave the command to'charge. The company encountered no opposition to their progress. The leaders of the charter faction then rushed to another fdace and declared the polls open again. Captain Stiles repeated his charge, and again cleared the streets. 1L Glasgow then mounted a box. called the crowd around him and advised them to disperse. Continuing, he censured the interference by the military. Then Captain Stiles charged the crowd for the third time, and brought the speech to an abrupt termination. The tiecond ward polls were then declared open in another part of the city. Leaving guards at the places already cleared. Capt. fetiles proceeded to the new voting place. The leaders of the charter faction, after consulting with Captain Stiles, advised the crowd to disperse. The advice was followed and the excitement subsided. Nine of the leaders were afterwards arrested on a charge of conspiring against the authority of the United States and city governments. Among those arrested are Captain Hammer and Judge Brown, who aro accused of inciting the inob to resistance. Judge GrctTs Reply to Certain Charges. Bicial to tho ImU&naiKxlis Journal Omaha. Neb., Sept, 21. Jndge Groff, who was recently selected by the President as Commissioner of the General Land Office, was to-day shown 'a telegram containing certain charges against him, impeaching his Kepublicanism and religion. He said: "The charge that I am not a Republican is absolutely false. I have voted forevery Kepublican candidate for President, including Abraham Lincoln, in 184, up to the time I cast my vote for President Harrison, excepting to vote for Horace Greeley, in 187-. I Dave voted the straight Republican ticket in Nebraska for nineteen years, saving and excepting the vote which I cast for my partner's father. Gen. Milton T. Montgomery, a gallant soldier, who lost an ami in the service of his country. I was elected judge in this district on the nonpartisan ticket in 1S7, by between 4,000 and 5.000 majority. On the ticket with mo were two candidates belonging to the Democratic party. Judge Hopewell and I wero the . Republicans on the non-parti-eau ticket, he having had the indorsement of the Republican convention, which I did not have. Thero wero four judgeships to fill, aud the issue with the people was a non-partisan judiciary. All the candidates on the nonpartisan ticket had the unanimous indorsement of the bar of this district. My appointment has not met with an adverso criticism in this State or elsewhere to my knowledge or to the knowledge of my friends., 1 am a member of the Unitarian Church of thiscity, and not an atbeiit." Strange Murder of Child. Eldorado. Kan., Sept 21. Last Tuesday a farmer named Dudley, w ho lives three miles from Kosalia, this county, engaged a Mr. and Mrs. Edwards to assist him in gathering hiscrops. While walking tothe farm that atternoon, they were joined by Mr. and Mrs. Bloomer, who were on their way home from Rosalia,' accompanied by their three-year-old child. Arriving at tho Dudley farm Mrs. Bloomer placed her child juMrs. Ldwards's charge, while she accompanied her husband to the held to see Mr. Dudley. When they returned to tho house tho child was uisding. Tho neigh

bors were summoned to institute a search, but the child could not be found. Mrs. Edwards's strange actions aroused suspicion, and she was tinally charged with having murdered tho child. She denied the charge indignantly, aud the search was continued. The child could not be found. Mr. and Mrs. Bloomer were satisfied in their minds that Mrs. Edwards made away with it, and to tost their suspicion they proposed to extract a confession from her. Accordingly, she was told that she was lo be hanged, and had better confens the crime, fche obstinately maintained that she knew nothing of the cause of the child's disappearance. A rope was found, one end placed about her neck and the other thrown over the limb of a tree. Just as the body of the alleged murderess was about to leave the ground, she broke down, and confessed that during -extreme annoyance at the child's disobedience of her commands she had killed it. and given the body to her husband to dispose of. He carried it to the creek near by and threw it in tho water. Her husband denied any complicity in the crime, and the same means were resorted to to force a confession from him that had been employed so success fully upon his wife. He was strung up for a minute or two and then cut down. He then confessed that he had seen his wile herself carry the dead body of the child to the creek and dispose of it there. He himself, he said, had nothing to do with the crime, oxcept to witness tho disposal of the body. A committee of the neighbors was then foimed to make a systematic search of the premises and creek. Mr. Bloomer, 'the father of the missing child, was made chairman of the commit tee.-and he is directing all the details of the affair. Mr. and Mrs, Edwards have been given into the charge of tho committee. If Mrs. Edwards's story is verified both (he aud her husband will doubtless be lynched by the committee, as great excitement prevails over the affair. So long as there is any doubt as to tho guilt of both, or either, of the accused Mr. Bloomer will refuse to take any action. Advantage of Smokeless Powder. ICopjriRht. 1SS9, by the New York Associated Press. 1 Berlin, Sept. 21. The maneuvers at Hanover terminated to day. The Emperor, commanding the Tenth Corps, assumed a defensive position, behind Else, on the Alfeld railway. His corps used smokeless powder. Eight Schumann irou-ciad towers, armed with machine guns, figured in the fight, the plan of which involved the retreat of the Seventh Corps, firing the ordinary powder. The Post publishes a military report on the maneuvers.

which is conclusive as to the necessity of smokeless powder, henceforth, for both artillery aud infantry. The corps usiug the smokeless powder got within two hundred yards of the enemy without the latter being able to determine the distance. Tho latter were often taken on tho flank, and were unable to gness whence the fire came. If it had been a real battle they would have been annihilated. The reports dilate mon the demoralizing and bewildering effects of the smokeless lire of tho infantry upon their opponents, and also refer to the increased certainty of aim arising from the absence of smoke, and especially in the case of artillery. The War Office is preparing to supply smokeless powder to all the troops, including tho second-class laudwehr. 'lho latest perfected smokeless powder leaves no sign after firing by infantry, and only a slight gray mist after firing by artillery. General Von Blnmeuthal. who was supposed to be uuder the displeasure of Emperor William, was present at the maneuvers to-day, and was cordially received by the Emperor. The popular demonstrations so gratified the Emperor that he told the burgomaster of Hauover that he hoped to pass several davs yearly among the Hanoverians. His Majesty distributed sixteen decorations. In accordance with his wish tho municipal authorities of Hanover will fill an album with photographs of the leading incidents of his visic. Sovereign Grand "Lodge I. O. O. F. Columhus. O.. Sept. 21. The Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd-fellows, to-day, mlorsedthe action of the grand sire in interdicting the promiscuous publication of the degree tloor work, and provided for the appointment of a committee of five to prepare a plan of floor work for the various degrees. Resolutions were adopted to give the headquarters', fund of the Patriarchs Militant the revenues arising from the sale of militant supplies; recommending that subordinate lodges hold stated open meetings, ouco in each Quarter, for the benefit and instruction of minors in the principles of the order; authorizing grand masters to appoint lady past grands as instructors in secret work; authorizing the Grand Lodge of Dakota to divide the jurisdiction at the next annual meeting, and authorizing the grand sire to grant a charter to the Grand Encampment of North Dakota. The constitution was amended to provide for the election of officers of the Sovereign Grand Lodge annually, instead of bieuuially;pcrraittinffStateand territorial grand bodies to make laws disqualifying persons engaged in the sale of intoxicating beverages for membership in the order. Tho resolution providing for an eighteen-year membership amendment, to lay oyer until next season, was rejected and the decision of the grand sire, allowing Buckeye Encampment, of Columbus, to appropriate $50 from its treasury to be used as prizes was disapproved. The question o! a constitution for Kebekah Degree lodges was referred to a special committee and postponed for one year. A Darning Gas Well. ' Special to the Indianapolis Journal. UrrER Sandusky, O., Sept. 21. The work of the Natural-gas Company of this city was rewarded, on Tuesday last, by striking a gushing gas well, the most powererfulinthis entire region. It was impossible to entirely stop the llow of gas, and, since the find was made, work has been going forward to tap the monster below the surface and utilize the fluid for light and power in the city. Hundreds of persons have, come to inspect the well, and this evening a visitor more venturesome than the rest approached and tossed a lighted match toward it for the 6olo purpose of seeing the blaze. The gas was instantly ignited and sprang upward in a flame that quickly enveloped the great derrick and sheds adjoining. In a few moments they were reduced to ashes, and the great waving stream of burning gas sprang upward unobstructed. The light can be seen for many miles. The strip of woods near the well took fire, and, as it is very dry, the flames there are raging furiously and scores of men are busy trying to prevent it from spreading further. If it gets bevond their control great damage will certainly be don3. No means of stopping the blazo at the gas well are at hand, and absolutely nothing can be done to check it. The community is terribly excited and in great fear that a devastating lire will ensue. Forged Mortgages at Terre Haute. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Terre Haute. Ind., Sept. 2i.-';vo weeks ago tho discovery was made that B. H. Musgrave, until a few months ago a wellknown real estate dealer, had forged tho county recorder's indorsement on the back of a mortgage for ?2,100 upon a piece of property on which he afterwards borrowed as much more from the Rose Polytechnic Institute, beaig enabled to do so' because the first mortgage was not on record. The day the discovery was made, Musgrave. who was then treasurer of the B. C. Clark Crockery Company, a large wholesale house m Kansas City, left that city ostensibly to come here and explain, but really for parts unknown, some one beie warning him of the discovery as soon as made. Today a mortgage for $t,0o). apparently drawn by Hampton Brown, on city property, was produced at tho recorder's office, where it had never been recorded. Not only was the recorder's name forged to the indorsement on tho mortgage, but themortgage itself was a forgery. Mimirmve xold this mortgage a year ago and had been paying the interest promptly uutil recently. It is said that more and worse is to come. An Unlucky Denver Hank. Denver, Col., Sept 21.

I believe that Bismarck will shuttle out of tho triple alliance on this occasiou, and Italv will come to grief.

Of course France will be allied with Russia." Ravages of Cholera iu Mesopotamia. Washington; Sept. 21. Consul-general D.

How the First Napoleon Squeezed a Milliard Out of a Small State. Nineteenth Century. One of the most ardent admirers of Napoleon, Uignon, avows that never a foreign occupation has weighed so crnelly on a state us that of Napoleon on Prussia. When, in 180(5, he began the war he had not 100,000 francs in . his chest. Jan. 1, 1808, the intendent of the French array, Daru, calculated that the occupation had yielded (04.2;27,fl22 francs, and the Emperor himself, March 0, 1809, told Count Koederer that he had drawn a milliard from Prussia. But this was not alL Even after the evacuation the country had to pay a heavy contribution; it was obliged to maintain -the French garrisons at Kuestrln, Stettin and Ologau; it had to furnish enormous requisitions for tho Freuch army, and the continental system oppressed Prussia's economical condition more heavily than auy other country. These sacrifices had to be borne by a state which, after the peace of- Tilsit, was reduced to a territory of 2.85G German square miles aud 4.000,000 inhabitants. Before tho war. . Prussia's net revenue in 1S05-0, amounted to 25,000.000 thalers. After having lost the most fertile and denselypopulated half of its territory the income would scarcely reach 12,000,000, if the war had not destroyed the souces of its wealth. It, therefore, seems incredible that Napoleon could have tortured out the abovenamed immense suras from such a little, impoverished country; yet such is the fact After the battle of Jena ho imposed a contribution of 152,000,000 francs: the treaty of Tilsit stipulated that the evacuation of the territories remaining to Prussia should be subject to the payment of tho contribution, but it was understood that the amount of the requisition was to be placed on account of tho sum to bo paid. N apoleon reversed this in order to have a 6how of motive for prolonging the occupation, and besides, asked a? full year's revenue from Prussia. Daru, therefore, presented a bill asking 180.511,85Cf. 90c. as contribution; 61,5iK),G37f. 53c. as revenue of eight months: other demands, 6,f2-l,4?5f, 24c in all, 108.724.0SSf. 80c. From this sum 44,221 .4S9f. t'Sc. were considered to .have been paid, so that the French demand would still be the round sum of 154,500.000f. Napoleon, as Lefebre acknowledges, knew perfectly well that Prussia was unable to pay that amount; ho only wanted a. pretext for prolonging ihe occupation of the country at its own cost. Tho revenues of the state filled tho French exchequer; contributions and requisitions were raised in a progressive style. The commander of Berlin, General St. llilaire, asked for eight hundred thalers, then for one thousand thalers per week for his table; General Vitry behaved in the castle of Charlottenburg as if it belonged to him. The French sold all tho goods of the royal manufacture of China; all tho works of art in the royal castles were carried off to Paris or appropriated by the French marshals. In order to mitigate somewhat this oppression the King 6ent his brother William to Paris, and even otl'ered a defensive or offensive alliance. Napoleon refused it; he told the Prince he knew he could never rely upon Prussia; all the Prussians hated him. Tho contributions had to be paid; they were part of tho combinations of European policy. Where Salt Passes for Money. rUtsbarg Dispatch. The descent from the plain of Wardilissau, which is covered with stones and pebblesthe pest of tho country and has neither grass nor water, to the Bahr Assal (Salt lake), lies through a track which seems to have been turned topsy-turvy between high and steep hills, and reminds one of the infernal regions. Nature has undergone some awful cataclysm in thoae solitary wastes. The lake is 570 feet below the level of the sea. About a third of the soil in its vicinity is covered with a sheet of salt half a foot thick, which resembles ice. As salt is not only used for culinary purposes, but also as a currencj', it is cut into pieces of the shape of a whetstone; they are about nine inches long, one inch and three-quarters thick, and iu tho middle two inches wide. Black lava beds abound and several deep craters. Mimosas, from which gum arabio is collected, acacias, saline plants and a few groves of doom palm trees are alone met with by the way.

San Francisco Argonaut, 1 A practical joke was played upon the late Mrne. Kudersdorff by feir Michael Costa the conductor. At rehearsal one day tho lady declared that she could not 6ing her song as it was written, but .must have it transposed half a note lower. "Hut, madame," said Costa, "consider the inconvenience, especially to the wind instruments, and particularly as all my men cannot be counted upon to transpose at sight!" But niadame was obdurate, and Costa, shrugging his shoulders, bowed iu acquisence. " ery well, gentlemen," said he, turning to the bewildered orchestra and, closing his score, "to-morrow you will play in a note lower." The next day. however, just before Mme. RuderbdorfF came on to sing, Costa whispered to the orchestra, "In the original key! No change." And so it was sung. At the close of the air, the singer turned to Costa and thanked him warmly. I am charmed!" she said. "Madame," replied Costa, with a touch of pleasant irony, "we are also charmed. You sang it in tho original key." Women on Bicycles. Washington Letter. It seems very, funny to a stranger in Washington to see womeu, evidently ladies, riding about the streets on bicycle regular two-wheelers, you know just like men.. Yet it is the fashion here, and thero is no spectacular impropriety about it, very long skirts being worn for the purpose, and the seat contrived with specially applied ingenuity. The bicycle used has its trco wheels of the same dimensions, aud of moderate sire, so that it is really a very uufo atlair. Thus mounted, the local fair are to be seen tearing all over the city, singl3r and in troops. It is positively a pretty sight, and no active woman could possibly behold it without immediately desiring such a bicycle for hersolf. This is the city of cycles. With its broad streets of smooth asphalt it is like one rink to the wheelman, and cycles are nearly as frequent as other vehicles everywhere. Everybody employs tbem. m About Apple-ricking. E. r. Towell In the Independent. Three-quarters of th apple crop of the United btates is wasted, or saved ouly by bcing turned in with the ciderapplcs. This is a large estimate, but none too large. I used to say one half was wasted, I now say two-thirds. In the first place, whole orchards are given over to caterpillars and codling moths. Then, when picking is done, the fruit is pulled oil" and dropped, or tossed, into baskets, and then poured on the ground, and then again into barrels. An apple should be handled like an egg, and it must be if you wnuM have-it keep, well. 1 know niM1'1' n u who "!

It takes but little more time. They hate to do it, but must, or go. The bruise caused by tossing and pouring is slight, butit iseuoufrh to start decay. It will not show for, possibly, a month. Good apples gentiy handled will not decay early; in nino cases out of ten rot is the result of carelessness. Will you think for a moment of the enorxaous lus4 through such heedlessness with apples? Planting at Peach Orchard. Popular Gardening. , Any soil that will grow a fair crop or corn will grow a peach tree. Alter plowing the ground, lay it oil in straight rows twenty feet apart, by running a two-hcrse plow twice in a row, and throwing tho dirt each way as deep as the plow will run. Mark it across in the same way. Dig a holo threefeet across at the intersection of tho furrows, twelve inches deeper than tho tree is to be set. In the biittom of the holo put a pint of commercial fertilizer, or a half bushel of stable manure, and mix it well with good surface soiL In tho absence of these, chip manure, bones or old boots inaybeput in the bottom of the holes. Tese materials gradually decay and feed tho trees for vears to come. Set the tree, till up the hole, treading tho earth linnly meanwhile, and leaving tho tree no deeper in tho ground than it was in tho nursery. The eutire ground may be planted to small fruit, cither strawberries alone, or strawberries and blackberries. If strawberries, set a row in a tree row, leaving out six feet space for each tree, and four rows in each middle, making the rows four feet apart. If blackberries or raspberries are to be added, set them four feet in the row, a row in the treo tow and one midway between, making the rows ten feet apart, riant a row of strawberries midway, between tho blackberries, and the ground will be as closely planted as it ought to be and raise trees. Keep tho tree-ground clear and trees will be well o cultivated. Ground in this wayniadeto' carry double should be well fed. When the strawberries have grown two crops plow them under. The trees will be large enough to bear some the fourth year, liy that time tha blackberries will have borne two or three crops, when they can be taken, out if they interfere with the peaches. Fivo crops of berries- will pay all expenses of raising tho peach trees, and a handsome protit besides. My ground is planted in tho way described. In setting the strawberries 1 plow out a deep furrow, partly till with compost, level oil the soil and set the plauts. ' Mr. Andrew S. Fuller finds that the gree& cabbage worm isdiscouraged by th follow- . ing treatment: Two quart of coal tar are Cut into an open vessel, which is set in tho ottom of a barrel, and the barrel is tilled with water. In forty-eight hours the water is impregnated with the odor of the tar, although the tar is not dissolved in it, Tho water is then sprinkled abundantly on tho cabbages, and the odor peuetrates every portiou of the head, killing or driviug away the worms. Astho water evaporates no stain or odor remains on tho cabbage. The same quantity of coal tar can be mado to impregnate several successive barrels or water .
