7ha Corn Crop.

FrJm the Indianapolis News.

'1 The corn crop of the state promises an extraordinary return considering the backwardness of the earlier part of the season. Secretary Heron, ot the state board of agriculture, returned last night from a trip through southern Indiana and Kentucky, fie says the Kentucky crop looks fine, but does not promise so well as the Indiana crop. He is confident the yield will exceed an average product. One of the marvels oi tbe season has been rapid growth of the corn.

The stalks seem substantial and well developed, and it l«oks now is if nothing could cot the crop short.

At Her Husband's Funeral. Gardner B. Fisher and Elias Littleton were on trial this morning before Justice Murphy for assault and battery, the complaint being made by Mrs. Elizabeth Greiner, who alleged that the defendants assaulted her on the 22nd of last April.

That was the day of her husband's funeral. She went up to the house where his remains were and was prevented at the gate from going in the yard by the tw» young men in question, who, it seems, were placed there by the relatives of the deceased to keep her from entering. She swore that they took hold of her and shoved her away. Wben the luneral started a young man who was with Mrs. Greiner in the buggy drove up and got in the procession after the hearse. They were approached and told that they must get out and go in the rear. This got Mrs. Greiner's escort fighting mad and he declared they would remain where they were if it required physical force to accomplish it, and they did. Justice Murphy fined the two defendants $1 and costs each and the cases were appealed.

Wabash River Improvements. Major J. A. Smith, engineer of improvements in the rivers and harbors of the Indiana district, has made his report to the war department at Washington. Referring to the Wabash river, Major Smith says that no improvements below Vincennes were made during the year past, owing to the insufficiency .of the ap-

To improve the Grand

tapids lock and dam will cost $130,000, ana he recommends the appropriation of half that amount tor the next year. At Little Chain $5,300 have been expended. He reports the purchase of machinery for fitting out a dredge for use on the Wabash and White rivers. The cost of the dredge is $10,000. The navigation of the Wabash, for twelve miles below New Harmony, depends upon the dam at that poiht, which can only be preserved by the filling up of the cut-off.

On the dam, last year, $3,496 were expended and in the operation ot the snag boat, $4,500. The changing channel in the lower portion of the river obstructs navigation, except for the smaller steamers. Two bars near the mouth) of the river may be remedied bv wing dams, at a cost of about $39,000. He recommends the appropriation of $10,000, tor

INTERNAL REVENUE.

The Evansville District Transferred to Collector W. W. Carter Yesterday.

...MM

A Brief Interview With Chief Clerk Herbert Madison, on the Subject •,

From Friday's Daily.

Yesterday was the date set for Collector W. W. Carter to take charge of the Evansville district, which waa recently incorporated with the Terre Haute district. The First Internal Revenue district of Indiana, known as the Evansville district, has been in charge of Collector James Yeatch, at Evansville, for a great number of years, and it no doubt looks to him as though Uncle Sam is infringing upon his right by making the consolida tion and putting W. W. Carter in charge.

Collector Carter and his chief clerk, Herbert Madison, went down to Evansville yesterday, accompanied by Revenue Agent Trumbell, wbo superintended the transfer. All the papers, stamps, monies, etc., belonging to the government in charge of Mr. Yeatch, were turned over to Collector Caiter.

Mr. Madison returned from Evansville this morning and wben a GAZETTE reporter called upon him at the revenue office the following brief interview occurred 'How long will the Major remain in Evansville?"

Probably a week. At least until he gets the new district organized." There is no probability of his removing tbe main office to that city is there?'' ''None in the least. He has signified his intention of making the headquarters of the district in this city." "Who will he be likely to place in charge of the branch office in that city ''For the present Mr. Keller who has been acting as Mr. Veatck's chief,will be retained. His permanency will depend altogether on the salary." "Will the enlarging of the district increase the collector's salary any?" "It will not however, the labor and responsibility will be increased."

OPERA HOUSE OPENING.

To Take Place Saturday, Augvet llth. The Opera House is undergoing numerous internal improvements and repairs, which, when complete, will make it one of the handsomest theatres in the country. It has been decided to reopen it to the public Saturday, August llih, with matinee and night performances by the celebrated Lipman Comedy Co., which recently scored such a pronounced hit in Indianapolis. Tbe play to be given is the latest work of that noted author, W. S. Gilbert, ot the firm of Gilbert & Sullivan, and is in three acts.

THAT CEMETERY COMMITTEE.

The Deceit in Oranges.

A dealer talking about oranges has this to say: "The rich, golden yellow ol Florida oranges is the cieation of art, and not of nature. It is charged that when they are picked they are as green as the foliage of the tree on which they grow, and that they will not ripen and turn yellow either on the tree or after being picked. The yellow color is secured by subjecting the orange to the fumes ol sulphur. Another triumph of art is the ability to manufacture "blood oranges" to order. The operation is performed by using a syringe with a delicate point, which is forced through the rind and a small quantity ot analine dye inserted, which permeates tbrongh the entire juices of the orange. Verily, 'things are not what they seem.'"

OBITUARY.

MKS. GEORGE JECK.

News has been received here of the death on last Saturday at Nashville, Tenn., of Mrs. George Jeck, oldest daughter of Rev. J. Wurster, formerly pastor of the German Methodist church, this city, now of East Saginaw, Mich. The deceased was a bride of six weeks and was a sister of the late Jno. J. Wurster, ot this city. She was a young lady of many good qualities and her untimely death will be sincerely regretted by ail who knew her.

A Correction

Philadelphia News: The report that a Chicago man found $31,000 under his pillow at a Jacksonville hotel and banded it to the proprietor instead of running off with it was so obviously untrue that we paid no attention to the matter. It now turns out that it was not a Chicago man but a Nashville man. We knew there must be some mistake.

Provision For the Redemption Three Cent Stamps After October 1st, When the New Law Goes /•'*. Into Effect. ,S The new postal law, approved by an act of Congress in March, 1883, and familiar to most of the GAZETTE'S readers, whereby the postage on "mail" letters has been reduced to 2 cents per half ounce, makes no provision for the redemption of outstanding three cent stamps and stamped envelopes, through exchange for other stamps. Postmasters have been instructed to cut down their requisitions for these stamps to an amount not larger than the demand will now be before the first of October. It behooves buyers ot stamps to teep lheir stock of threes low. If any one has been reckless enough to invest in a whole dime's worth of stamps at once he will have to "hostle" him or herself between now and the first of October to reduce the stocks.

Stamped envelops spoiled in directing will continue to be redeemed. The design for tbe new two cent stamp is the head cf Washington from Houdon's bust. Stamps will be printed in metallic red. Stamps of the denomination of four cents (for doubled postage) will be issued. Tne design for these will be the head of Jackson

There is no reduction on "drop" letters, or newspaper postage included in the law.

The department will commence issuing the new two-cent stamps Sept. 15th, and stamped envelopes, Sept. 1st, but neither can be used till Oct. 1st.

An Interview With Dr. SwafTord on ik| Subject of a New Cemetery, Dr. Swaftord said this morning to a GAZETTE reporter that we are to have a new cemetery, and it makes no difference whether it is organized by the Oak Bluff association or by the city. The thing is to get anew cemetery, and very soon.

The object of this Oak Bluff association is the same es that of this council commiitee. If either one goes ahead and perfects its object, there will be no need of the other to take any steps whateve The Doctor was of the opinion, person ly, that it be best for tbe cemetery to alowned bv a corporation.

Boats, Bicycles and Hay Fever. Nature has resolved that all the people shall not enjoy tlieiiJ3elves at once. With the opening ot the seSson of outdoor sports comcs the time of trouble for the poor victims of hay fever. For them flowers have noodor, and summer little or no beauty. To snuff, sneeze and wipe their weepiDg eyes for three or four successive months:—this is their pitiable portion. Whether this form«f ca'arrh is called bay fever, hay cold, rose-cold or rose-lever, makes no difference they suffer just the same. There is no help in sea-voyages, there is no help in high mountain air. These only lighten the pocket and leave the disease unabated. But there is a positive cure in Elj's Cream Balm. We could cram these columns with grateful letters ot the rescued. Try it and join them. If you continue to suffer it is because you neglect a remedy as sure as it is cheap and pleas* ant.
