EXTENSIVE LUMBER FIRE.

Evansville, Ind., Visited by a Disastrous Conflagration. Twenty Acres of Lumber Yards Burned Over With Loss of Oyer. 8500,000 — Water Supply Inadequate'. Fire broke out at 1 o’clock Wednesday morning in the lumber yards of Armstrong and Reitz, near Evansville, and were not subdued for several hours. The water supply was entirely inadequate. Before the flames were subdued they destroyed the lumber yard of the Armstrong company, some 2,000,000 feet; Armstrong’s saw mill, stables and two dwellings, the lumber yard of John A. Reitz & Son, some 5,000,000 feet; fifteen cars of grain on the Peoria; Decatur & Evansville railroad track and a large warehouse containing tobacco, grain and general merchandise.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS.

They Meet to Consider the Much Mooted Debt Question. AH the Speakers Warmly Eulogize the Present Administration, and Declare it to Be the Best in Twenty-flye Tears and the Assertion is Loudly Cheered. The Democrats of Virginia met in State Convention on the 4th to consider and decide upon some place of action on the* debt question. All the speakers warmly eulogized President Cleveland’s administration, and were most enthusiastically cheered in the assertion. Samuel H. Moffitt created the greatest enthusiasm when he said that President Cleveland’s administration was the most American and the most honest the country had had during the last half a century. Senator John W. Daniel also eulogized the administration but condemned civil service reform in strong language. The resolutions adopted, indorse the National and State administrations, demand repeal of the internal revenue system, favor a revenue tariff, approve the action of the Legislature in its hegotiations with bondholders and pledge the party not to concede any better terms than those offered, ask recognition by the national government of Virginia’s claim for compensation for Territorial concessions, and also for loss by dismemberment of her territory, declare in favor of State pensions to favor national aid to education, and deprecate the creation of a surplus in the National treasury. On the debt question the Riddleberger bill was adopted as a plan for the settlement of the matter.

He subsists on nothing but buttermilk, and consumes six gallons a dayr. It is estimated ' hat the serious drouth Clark-county is now passing through will increase the price of hay to S2O a ton and corn to 75 cents a bushel before six months have passed. The hay crop is almost an entire failure.

A couple of cases* of leprosy in one family living about eight miles from Tas well, are reported. Various causes are assigned, the most probable being the use of sugar that came from the Hawaiian islands. Both cases, are women, and they have been known to be afflicted for many years. A report just prepared by the Superintendent of Public Instruction gives the amount of the school fund of this State for the year 1886 to have been $9,458,085 71, distributed as follows: Congressional township fund, $2,471,857.96; non-negotiable bonds, $3,081,904,783.16; amount held by counties, $3,081,444.59.

The State soldiers monument committee held a three days session at Indianapolis last week, and transacted a large amount of important though routine business. The plans for the monument are being rapidly matured, and from what can be learned it will be one of the finest and most imposing memorials in the United States. The committee have employed Prof. W. R. Weir, of Columbia College, New York State, as a epecial expert. He is recognized by architects everywhere, as a leading if not the leading expert in the country. He will be in consultation with the committee at Indianapolis this week. The committee announce that the principal architects of the world are or will be in competition with plans, etc.

There were from fifteen to twenty thousand people in attendance at the soldier’s reunion at Marion Thursday. The sham battle which was called at 2 o’clock was marred and cut short by the probable fatal injuries received by veteran Miles Morris, of Jalapa Post, Grant county. Morris was assisting in manning one of the heavy guns and was ramming a cartridge home, when the man at the breech took his thumb off the touch-hole, producing a premature discharge. Morris’ right hand was blown off and his face and shoulders were terribly burned, blackened and lacerated. His injuries will probably prove fatal. Major George W.Steile, commander of the camp, had a narrow escape by the reckless discharge of another gun while he was standing close to the muzzle. His coat Was torn and the side of his face was slightly lacerated. &Dr. Frisbie reported to the State Board of health, last week, after having made an examination, jails in Lawrence and Perry counties are unfit for human habitation, and in the first named the stench was so dreadful that he was unable to stay in the cells a minute. The sewflrage in both is as bad as it could be, arid he recommended the condemnation of both. He also found the poor house of Lawrence county in a horrible condition, and the overseer pocketing the proceeds of the labor of all the inmates that he could hire out to farmers at the ridiculously low wages of SIJS per week. Young children were forced to sleep with old inmates who were afflipted with all sorts of loathsome diseases. An effort will be made to get the children away from the terrible

place. Perry county is powerless to do anything to aid the poor and criminal classes, as both the County Treasurer and Prosecuting Attorney have been away. The former took all the funds, and the county is about bankrupt.

A COLD DAY IN TEXAS.

Prohibition Defeated by a Very Large Majority. Estimated at from 15,000 to 60,000—May Reach 85,000—Defeat Conceded by Prohibitionists—Why the Election Was of National Importance. A constitutional amendment to nrohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors was voted upon by the people of Tetas, Thursday, and was defeated. The returns came in rapidly and indicated that prohibition was defeated by a majority possibly reaching 85 000. The Prohibitionists admit their defeat in the State by 15,000 majority. The Antiprohibitionists claim 50 000.

The struggle in Texas is of national importance because it is the first real fight for an entire State the Prohibitionists have ever made in the South. Hitherto in every Southern State they have moved for the object under local option laws. While the Prohibitionists of the North have captured whole States at a time— first Maine, then Kansas, then lowa, and then Rhode Island the Southern Prohibitionists have been content to gain territory by piece meal, capturing locality by locality and then county by county. They have thus, they claim, fastened their grip upon an actual majority of municipalities or counties in nearly every Southern State. To-day 118 of the 137 counties in Georgia are under prohibition. In Texas the proportion of prohibition counties and localities is large. Later —The prohibitionists concede their defeat by 60,000. The anti-prohi-bitionists claim 125,000 majority. Fort Worth is the only city in the State that went prohibiton. R>nk Vandalism. Early Friday morning, after all the printers had finished their work and left the building,some miscreants broke into the Indianapolis Sentinel company’s rooms and “pied” all the type in the cases and forms, and destroyed and carried away many “sorts.” The damage amounted to about S2OO, besides causing great trStible' and vexation. The issuing of the paper Saturday morning was not delayed. At about 11 o’clock, Friday, somebody fired a volley of stones through the windows, but nobody was hurt. The work was done, evidently, by some one familiar with the office. The Sentinel and Journal recently had a strike of their compositors, and it is privtely charged that the striking printers are responsible for the vandalism. This, however, is vehemently denied by members of the striking force, who have collected evidence showing the .work to have been done by several of the imported non-union men recently employed upon the paper and who had been discharged. In Honor of the President’s Wife. Mrs. Grover Cleveland has been visiting Gen. A. W. Greely’s family at their summer home at Marion, Mass. On the 4th A. W. Nickerson, of Boston, gave a dinner in Mrs. Cleveland’s honor, at Marion, which was an elaborate affair. The party of twenty were driven to Mr. Nickerson’s house in great style and the spread was the choicest and the wines of rare vintage.. The waiters and cooks were from the Parker House, Boston. The guests included, besides Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Welsh and Mrs. Folsom, Gen. and Mrs. A. W. Greely, R. W. Gilder, editor of the Century, and his wife, Miss A. L. Dawes daughter of Senator Dawes; Joseph Jefferson, the actor, and his wife; John S. Nicolay, marshal of the United States Supreme Court; Miss Schuyler Van Rensselaer, the noted authoress; Mrs. Samuel Warren and Miss Florence Bayard, daughter of the Secretary of State, and Mr. and Mrs. Mahlon Cgden Jones—the last named lady being a Russian countess.

Weevil in Flaxseed. A Chicago paoer of Monday, says: “The flaxseed inspector of this city has discovered that some of the cars of flaxseed received from the Northwest contain weevil to an alarming extent. If the seed is as numerously infested as the inspector says, it will not make flaxseed bfl. The inspector thinks the weevils he found are of a new variety. Of this he is not certain, and has submitted the matter to the scientific investigation of the Uliriois State Board of Agriculture. The insect is not in the seed of this year’s crop, hut infests the crop of last year. To what extent some of the crop has been infested by contact is not knowri, but it is certain that none of the elevator people will accept the seed with the insect, for once the pest is in the house it is hard to get it out.” After Two Years. In 1885 the owners of the Fifth-ave-nue hotel, New York, had difficulty with the painters at work upon the house and a boycott was ordered. Saturday the Central Labor union help in the hotel was ordered out on account of the trouble of two years ago. Five Men Drowned. A pleasure boat containing thirty men was wrecked in Menawa lake, near Council Bluffs, lowa. Friday, and five of the men were drowned. The accident occurred during a storm.

THE BURNT DISTRICT.

Serious Effects of Drought iu the Northwest. Seventy-five Thousand Square Mlle* In a Lamentable Condition—E>its That Muat Be Endured. A Chicago paper, summing up the many reports received by it of drought, prairie fires, ruined crops, etc, says Monday morning: “Thereis an area of perhaps 75,000 square miles in the northwest where the dust lies heavily upon the earth. The district is bounded by Madison on the north, Bloomington on the south,,Lake Michigan on the east, and the Mississippi river on the. west. It is within the limits of these boundaries that vegetation has lost its i normal color and the earth its moisture. I Day after day the sun sends its burning rays upon the parched farms and fields. Leaves are falling from the trees, the grass in the meadows has grown yellow and white, and the streams in which the cattle used to slake their thirst are as dry as powder horns. It has been nearly ten weeks since a soaking rain fell in this district. The big bull thistle —the pest of nearly every farm —has at last succumbed to the fate o' all other vegetation. The big weed first wilted, then turned black and finally fell upon the earth. With not enough moisture in the ground to fetal a thistle the condition of corn and ffie tender grass in the meadow may be imagined. In southern Wisconsin there are thousands of acres where Corn will not yield a peck to the acre. The crop has been scorched and almost totailv destroyed. The leaves of the cereal are yellow and brittle and droop almost to the ground. The loss of the corn crop, serious as it is will not impoverish the farmers. They have lived in the country since the land was first tilled, and have, for the most part laid by enough money to carry them through a winter. But there are other dangers to be confronted. Wells have run dry, and in some towns water famine is imminent. The drinking water at hand is polluted and filled with poisonjs germ. Typhoid fevei is becoming more prevalent, and dysentery and other stomach disturbances are so common in some places as to be almost epidemic. “Unless rain falls before many days, the suffering will be greatly augmented. The intense heat has ' been a terrific strain upon man, but its effect upon cattle has been simply appalling. Without pasturage to brouse upon or pools in which to stand during the hot hours of the day the poor beasts have become so emaciated as to be Wholly unmarketable. The farmers in the dairy districts have, in some instances, been compelled to feed and water their cows from their own larders. In other places forest trees have been felled and dragged to the pastures and the cattle turned 1 oose to brouse upon the leaves. Hundreds of cows are beingddlled and shipped to market for a mere pittance. At Winslow, 111., one farmer bought ten head of cattle last January at S3O per head. When he offered to sell the entire herd last week for SIOO he could not find a purchaser. Farmers in this district have already turned the cattle loose to feed upon the crops. “Added to all the miseries attending the great drought is the constant fear of fires. The tall grass of the prairie is dead, the fields are ready to burst into flame and leaves lie in heaps in the forests. A spark starts a fire and the blistering, Sahara-like wind fans the flame into a conflagration. Already the land encompassed by the bounderies has been blackened by wildfires. In some towns the people are often called out three or four times a day to fight the flames. Destructive fires have been raging for many days at Kenosho and Walworth counties in Wisconsin. Thousands of acres have been swept by the fires, and the loss to farmers in hay, grain, fencing and buildings is very great. Above Madison the bogs are burning fiercely and pungent smoke hangs over the country for miles around. Should the drought remain unbroken, much longer, incalculable ruin will be wrought by these fires, which spring up in unexpected places and in the most mysterious manner.

“In some parts of the district the drought is so terrible that butternuts and walnuts have fallen from the trees. Potatoes, when taken from their bed of ashes, look like crab apples. They are wrinkled and spongy and unfit fox food. There is also a great scarcity of milk, owing to the inability of cows to find nutritious food.” A Hole in the Ground. Just prceding the earthquake, Monday night, a farm of three hundred acres in Trigg county, Ky., planted in corn and tobacco, sank from four to six feet, and the basin at once filled with water. The.e were two colored families living on the place who did riot feel the settling of the earth, but were awakened by water pouring in on the floors of their cabins. They reached high ground safely. . _ 7 A Ghost Laid Cp, Charles Hopkins played the ghost at Baltimore Monday night, ,and attempted to frighten a few laborers in a brick yard. William L. Goodwin refused to be scared and shot his ghostship through the mouth. The ghost is now in the hospital.

DAMAGED BY THE DROUGHT.

The Continued Hot Weather Has a Serious Effect Upon Crops. The Corn and Potato Crops Suffer Most, but There is Yet Some Hope for the Former If Rains Come Soon. The present dry weather is almost unprecedented. In the country the drought has left its impress upon field after field of growing corn, and throughout the State pasturage has suffered, and with it wells have become dry and small streamrhave been used up. This makes it very difficult to provide for stock. As in 1881, farmershave to drive their stock some places many miles for water. But. corn and potatoes are more seriously affected than the grasses, and while the latter are withered it only needs a good rain to refreshen them, as the roots of grasses remain sturdy and full of life during the most prolonged drought. “In 1881,” said Col. John B. Conner, editor of the Indiana Farmer, Wednesday, “a September rain restored the pasturage when it was almost burned out. After that rain the grass came up luxuriantly. As for corn, lam not one of those who think it must mature in July and August to make a good crop. That is a mistaken notion. While it is now se riously affected, a rain as late as the Ist of September will enable it to recover and open during that month and the first half of October. I have noticed that a late frost always followed such hot spells as we have now. Temperature, therefore, will be favorable for corn in the late autumn if we only have rain to assist it to maturity. Many farmers are cutting their corn foj fodder. They ought not to do eo as there is plenty of time to get a crop. This season is a great deal like that of 1881, but the drought has not been so bad. Four years ago the rainfall in June was only .92 of an inch, while that in July fell to .86. That year there was but half the usual rainfall in May. This year we have bad better conditions, andas tbreefourths of the corn in 1881 ripened in September and October, there is no necessity for becoming alarmed just now over the condition of that grain. On the very heavylmtiled clay land corn will do little or nothing. A late rain, though, will help even that to produce nubbins, but no merchantable corn.” While the present condition of corn promises from 75 to 77 per cent., the late potato crop will be educed one half. Potato tops will uoi stay green under droughts like corn; hence they lose their vital strength and the tubers; dry and wither in the ground. The crop is very large west of the Mississippi river, but in Indiana, Michigan and Illinois is claimed there will not be more than half the yield of last year. Early potatoes ripened, though, before dry weather began, and gave a very good crop. 'Secretary Heron, of the State Agricultural Board, has just returned from Canada, where he says corn and potatoes are even worse than here. In Indiana he thinks there will be a good yield of oats and hay, but he does not count on more than half a crop of corn. Local showers have been of some benefit, but the whole state is in want of drenching rains. An Encouraging Fcost. There was a white frost in Wellsville, N. Y., Sunday morning, and the thermometer registered about 40 degrees.
