The Pastor of St Patrick's Church Bids Farewell to his
t' 'V**'"
From Monday^ Dally.'
Father T. X. Logan, pastor of St. Patrick's church, corner of Thirteenth and Poplar, yesterday announced to his congregation that the resignation which he had sent in to the Bishop a short time ago, had been accepted and that he expected to leave to day. The announcement made on the previous Sunday by the pastor that he had resigned ana was awaiting a reply irom the Bishop, occasioned a great deal of surprise. Yesterday, Father Logan bid tarewell to his congregation. The reverend gentleman has betu in charge ot the church, which is in a flourishing condition, since it was built a year or two ago, and had established himself in the favor of his people by his persistent energv and kard woik in building up the edifice which now ornaments tne eastern
art of town. The retirement of Father is due^olely to private reasons. The probability is that Fa'ber McMullen, of Richmond, Ind., who is known as one of the most eloquent members of the priesthood in tbe state, will come here and take charge of the vacant pastorate, and that Father Logan will take Father McMullen's place at Richmond.

Among the guests to the city yesterday* many of whom were very nice people, were two tough cus'otuers who lunched at Sage's. After they had eaten a hearty lunch, each one ordering 25 cents worth, the larger man of the two started to go out and was reminded of the quarter. He said the other man woula pay. The clerk asked the man still seated if that was all light and he said it was. Pretty soon this man aiso started to go. "Fifty cents here" called out "Wig" Sage. "I havent any money" grinned the fellow.
With that Wig caught him by the throat and shook him so that some change dropped out of bis pockets which afterward proved to be 45c. George Sage hearing the racket and not knowing how Wig was getting on rushed out and stiuck the man in the face, who had scarcely recovered when Fred "pasted" him one also and he was kicked and

Lillie Lovell, of Kevins Township, Hakes That Charge on Wm. Wm. Seymour.
The Orand Jury Investigates the Case To-day—I he Girl's Story.
From Saturday 'sDatly.
Last evening Constable McCabe arres'ed William Seymour while at work at the Litchfield Company's mines, at Fontanet, Nevins township, on the charge of rape on the person of Lillie Lovell The warrant was sworn out by Charles E. White, in whose family the girl, who is sixteen years of age, works as a domestic. The Constable and his prisoner arrived in town last evening, accompan ied by a number of people who came down from the "upper regions" to see howf the case went. Justice Lockman sent the prisoner to jail and the preliminary hearing was set for this morning at 10 o'clock. In the meantime it was determined that tbe best thing to be done would be to go before the grand jury, which was in session, and accordingly thle morning the witnesses in the case, including the girl Lovell, testified before that body. The facts in the case are about as follows:
Tbe girl, accompanied by James Crabb and Jane Biggs, came down from Coal Bluff to celebrate the Fourth here. S mour met them at Coal Bluff and came down with them. He is thirty-five years old and unmarried. The girl is small, awkward and not overly good looking. Seymour and Miss Lovell spent the day together, going out to the fair grounds, while the other two went by themselves. They had intended to return home on the 4 p. M. train, but missed it and consequently had to wait until the 2 o'clock train next morning. The girl says Sey. mour prevailed on her to take some wine at Franz's on Fourth street^which made her feel "funny," and afterwards gave her a drink ot water, into which be had put something which made her feel, as stated tersely by Mr. White, "like as if she wanted to stay with Seymour, though she wanted to get lid of him during the day." The girl says thev walked along distance and that she didn't know where she was going, though Seymour said he was taking her to the depot. She says they came to where some box cars were standing and that he compelled her to get into one of them, where by threats, he accomplished his purpose. They remained there a large portion of the night and returned home the next morning. The girl says he subsequently compelled her to submit to him at the house of an acquaintance in Nevins township, the people of the house not being in. This was while she was on her way to White's. The girl related what occurred to Mrs. White, and her husband came to iown and swore out a warrant.
Seymour was seen at the jail this morning. He is a thick-set little fellow, well-dressed, and was disposed to say little. He denied the charge very emphatically. People who came down from Nevins township to-day, said Sey mour bore a good reputation up there. The girl's parents live over in Illinois, Mr. White, who swore out the warrant, says George Bell, Wm. Hines, Bert Yan Hook ana John Smith, of Fontanet, who are members of the Knights of Labor, as also is Seymour* tried to coerce him into swearing to something about the girl that was not so, and that the former, Bell, threatened to whip him if he didn't swear as he (Bell) wanted him to. Mr. White says tnere area dozen or BO ol the members of the lodge down here trying to get Seymour out of the scrape.
Tne grand jury to-day indicted Seymour for rape. i' »'5,.*• "i'„,^ the so utheastern.
The Southeastern railroad war still progresses and interest in it is kept alive in one shape or another. Yesterday a compromise was partially effected between the railroad company and the parties whose damages were recently assessed by appraisers, but later in the day it fell through and the matter remains where it was peviously. It the railroad company and the propery owners do not come to some agreement the cases will go on trial before a jury, whose duty it will be. to assess the damages. Taken altogether it is a very lively little muddle.
Cbaancey Lee Removed.
Chauncey B. Lee, postal clerk on the Terre Haute.& Southeastern, has been re moved and.Mr Perring of Worthington, appointed in his stead. Chauncey has been a faithful clerk and passed creditably a recent special rest of bis ability to distribute the entire state mail, a very difficult undertaking. No charges were preferred against him or dissatisfaction shown except that he is in delicate health but Chauncey thinks he was removed be cause a place had to be provided for Perringand because of his opposition to R. B.F. Peirce's nomination

A BASKET OF FLOWERS:
One Sundav afternoon a reporter happened to overhear Col. Nelson relate one of his famous adventures in which he came near having a fight. In Yir ginia, a few miles south ot Alexandria, there lived a nch and aristocratic maiden lady who was admired by a southern gentleman, whose fcrtune had become so impaired as to need rebuilding. During a visit to Alexandria the lady happened to stop at the Colonel's hotel to which place Mr. Blank sent her a basket ot elegant flowery tbe finest that could be procured. Here the Colonel saw an opportunity to remove the gentleman's card and substitute his own, which he did and in consequence of which, the Colonel was the recipient of a most charming note, gushing with poetry and sentiment. All ver/ well so far, but the Colonel began to think that perhaps the gentleman's southern blood might be up when he discovered the trick and he might possibly want to fight, so he sought him and while enjoying a quiet conversation the Colonel says, "Mr. Blank, do yon consider all things fair in love and war?" "Perfectly so," was the answer. The joker then proceeded to relate what he bad done. Mr. Blank was furious within himself, but tbe Oelonel, by his good humor, held him in and promised to make honorable amends next morning at the breakfast table, which he did. "But, says tte Colonel, 'the lady to this day believes I sent the flowers,

CROP REPORTS.
Monthly Report of the Department of Agriculture.
Big Prospects for Everything, Except Wheat
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The July re port ot the department ot agriculture indicates very general imprevtment in the condition ot cotton. The conditiop has advanced from 86 to 90. Last July there was an improvement of 3 points from 89 to 93. The returns of July have indicated a higher condition tnan in June, except in 1871, *73, an '79. The spring weather was too variable in temperature and moisture, as it usually has been in former years, tortye highest condition of the plant.
There has been some improvement in winter wheat in Connecticut, New York, South Carolina, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kacus and California, which advances the general average condition from 75 to 79. The spring wheat average advanced from 98 to 100. The indications of July point to a winter wheat crop of fully 300,000,000 bushels and a product ot about 125,000,000 bushels of spring wheat The area of the corn crop has been increased about 2,500,000 acres, making an aggregate of 68,000,000 acres. There has been some extension ot area in nearly every state. The proportion of increase is large in the northwest and in the southwest. On the coast from Virginia to Mississippi the advance has been small. There has been too much rain in the great western maize districts and failure of stands from planting poor seed, making the crop late and the growth small,but the improvement has of late been rapid. Taking all the states together, the average tor corn is 88 against 85 last July, 90 in 1881 and 100 in 1880. The averages of the principal states are as follows. New York, 84 Pennsylvania, 89, Ohio, 83 Michigan,73 Indiana, 90 Illinois, 82 Iowa, 80 Missouri^, Kansas,98 Nebraska,87 Dakota 78. In the south averages rsnge from 90 in Tennessee to 103 in Louisiana. The
J:ospect
for oats is nearly as good as in
uly last ve&r, the average being 99 against 103. Tbe condition ot barley is represented by 97 last July it was 96. The average in New York is 103 Pennsylvania, 91 Wisconsin, 102 California, 00. There has been an increase of about 5 per cent in the area planted in northern potatoes they are reported in high condition, averaging 101. The urea of tobacco appears to be diminished 7 per cent, condition, 95.
A cable from the London agent of the department of agriculture received today says: "The weather the first ten days of July was hot and forcing. Wheat estimates are increasing generally throughout Europe." '^.^I-^ILLINOIS CROPS.
SPRINGFIELD, III, July 10 -The state department of agriculture has received full returns from all counties of the state of the condition of winter wheat July 1. These show little improvement over the returns for the three preceding months. The reports iadicate the crop of winter wheat in Illinois will not exceed 16,000,000 bushels. or 32,000,000 bushels less than the, yield in 1882. The condition ot winter wheat in the northern counties was 5 per cent, better July 1 than a month ago, and gave a prospect of 87 per cent, of the average crop. In the central counties the* yield will be less than two-thirds of the crop. The most discouraging report came from the southern portion of tne state, which usually produces tbe bulk of the crop fnd promises less than half a crop, or 64 per cent, less than last year's yield. It is quite nnusual to have less than the average yield per acre in any ot the southern counties. },•
NATIONAL NOTES.
The postmaster's accounts for the third quarter of the last fiscal year are just being closed up. There promises to be a surplus of about $2,500,000. The blunder in the postoffice bill, passed last session, is costing the department, it is estimated, about $1,250,000. It was intended to put the new rate of payment of postmasters ot the fourth class into effect when the two-cent stamp comes into use, but the law was so worded as to go into effect at once, although the new stamp is not authorized to go into effect till October 1. The deficiency next year is estimated at about $500,000 on account of the reduction of the postage rate.
The commissioner ot internal revenue issued a circular modifying and supplementing circular No. 259, as follows: "In view of the fact that there was no specific appropriation made by congress last sesston to make the expense of cancellation and return after redemption of stamps imprinted upon checks, drafts, etc., it becomes necessary to inform the public that such drafts, checks and stam OS will not be received for cancellation and return after redemption, after tbe 31st of July. All stamps imprinted upon drafts, checks etc.. received for redemption after that date, if redeemed will be destroyed, together with drafts or checks
LARRY JEROME tells this story Ai New York life: A well-known gentleman and wife, while still living together in the epee of the world, were entirely independent of e«cb other. The gentleman had been very attentive for along time to a wellknown young actress, to whom he was In the habit oi frequently sending flowers with a card bearing simply his Christian name of Charles. One day stopping at a florist's to whom his residence was well known, but from whom it chanced he never ordered anything to be sent to the young actresa, he ordered a handsome platee of flowers, and writing "Charle^' on a card ordered it to be sent to "her,1 supposing the florist knew whom he meant. That particular florist, however, did not know, and he sent the floral tribute to the wife at home. Now the wife was so much affected by this unexpected floral offering that she was moved to send for her husbabd to come to take her driving, and made herself so agreeable to him that the old love rekindled and a reconciliation followed which has not •ince been disturbed.
