For a Line From Richmond to Hamilton via Boston and Eaton-What He Says. Sume time ago we gave some items with regard to a traction company which bad heen securing riirnts ol way along sbut Boston. At the time very little could be found out about it, even the farmers who had given the rights of way knowing nothing further. Last evening Mr. Hodges, who is vice-president of the company, was in the city, and it looks very encouraging for the road from what he says It is the line proposing to come up from Hamilton via Camden . to Eaton, thence to Richmond by way of Boston. He 6aid that the company had ample capital, and if they had no further difficulties in getting into Richmond than now appeared they would have cars running in here by the middle of next summt r. Being asked whether this line had anything to do with the Schwab line he Eaid that it did not; and in response to the question as to whethi r it belonged with the proposed eastern line be said not at all. He said that they have the survey practically completed, and the rights of way secured for most of the line. He did not ap prebend any difficulty in getting the rights of way for the entire distance. Thev are not using the roads very much, except for crossings, but get rights of way at the side from the farmers. After leaving Boston they intend to come as near stiaight as possible t: Richmond and will pass along the east side of the Dilks farm, which they, strike at the southeast corner, thus coming west of the Wernle

home, on the Fairmount and Wernle road. They wish to come across the Taylor farm south of the city and enter the city at the foot of south sixteenth street and run up sixteenth street to Main. - - - Mr. Hodges will remain here and in this vicinity for several days, and proposes to have the most of the preliminaries settled before he leaves the city if possible. He is a busi cess man, knows the traction business thoroughly, and apparently means business from the word go. Health in the Philippines. 5an Francisco, Cal., Oct. 2.

INDIANACROPS Rain is Badly Needed Some Parts of the State. in The weekly crop bulletin issued by the United States department of agriculture for last week refer to the conditions in Indiana as follows: Warm, dry weather, conditions favorable to drying corn, curing fodder in the shock and saving matured crops, prevailed during the week Rain is badly needed to germinate seed recently plauted, to stimulate the growth of wheat and rye already up and to revive pasture and range grass; the ground yet to be seeded is also yery dry and in some localities plowing and planting have been postponed until tain falls. "Practically all corn is sa'e from injury by frost; the bulk of the crop has been cut, is drying and curing nicely, and, with a continuation of favorable weather, husking and crib bing will begin early in October. Potatoes' are being dug and, although the yield is light, they are turning out somewhat better than has been expected. In the south portion of the state late potatoes are improving. "Tomatoes and cucumbers were more seriously injured by the frosts of the 17i to 21st than was believed at the time. "Peaches, except the latest varieties, and plums have been gathered, and picking apples has begun: winter apples continue to fall. "Tobacco has been housed, generally, in good condition. "The threshing of clover seed is nearly com pile ted; yield and quality good. . "Cow peas are reported to be doing well in tte south portion of the state. "Fall seeding is retarded by the droughty conditions, and pastures are failing from the same cause. "The outlook is that stock feeding will begin much earlier tnis year than usuaL"
