The cashier of the Baltimore and Ohio Road has received fr,om President Cleveland a check for the full amount of the expenses at Deer Park.... Statistics from the Postoffice Department show that during the past year the Chicago office has increased its receipts by a greater percentage than any other large city. Washington dispatch: At a House Democratic caucus, with nearly all the Democratic Representatives present, Messrs. Carlisle, Morrison and Randall were appointed a committee to select and push to the point of action such of the measures as it should deem .proper to attempt to pass before adjournment. Soon after the selection of the committee Mr. Randall asked if the action of the caucus meant an adjournment by July 15. There was a hearty chorus of “Yes! yes!” from all sides. According to the June report of the Department of Agriculture, the prospect for the coming apple crop is materially below an average outside of the New England.and Middle States. The orchards of the Ohio Valley and Northwest suffered severely from the cold winter and the late frosts of 6priug.
