MISSOURI'S FRUIT CROP. The Lergest in the History of the State—Apple Crop the Largest in the United States. St, Louls Chronicie. Missouri this year hes raised tke! largest crop of fruit eyer known in the history of the State. It will heve the largest crop of apples of any State in the Union, being away ahead of New York and Michigan, the apple States. L. A. Goodman of Westport, Mo, Secretary of the Missouri Horticul-| tural Society, says there will be 10,- 000,000 barrels of marketable apples raised in Missouri this year. Mr. Goodman who has charge of the Missouri fruit display at the ex- poeition, says the crop all over the State is looking fine and buyers from other States are here. ‘The quality of the fruit is never better and is freer from insects, epecs,scab, mildew, rot and cutting moth than was ever known. The fruit is al- most perfect and many trees will show every apple perfect. From five trees in Jackson County 15 bar- rels of Jonathans were picked and not over 12 apples on the five trees were unfit for packing. The yield generally runs about that way over the whole State. The greatest quantities are grown along the Missouri River but the Ozark country will soon have the largest orchards in the State. The pear crop is also wonderfully large and the yield both in quantity and quality, will lead any State west of New York. Buchanan County's crop alone will be worth $100,000, and St. Louis County’s yield is es timated to be worth double this. The peach crop comes next. This State ranks fifth, but the quality is ae fine as any in the country. The plum crop is good, but vari- eties are not large, consisting chiefly of the wild goose and damson. The cherry crop, owing to the drouth of last year, was small. Grapes started out well and a a very large yield was anticipated, but the wet weather in August de- teriorated the fruit and the crop is comparatively small. The strawberry crop was very small and raspberries were only about half of what they were last year. Blackberries, however, turn- ed out an enormous yield. The short crops of the two berries was caused by the drouth in the summer and fall of 1894. The vines wither+ ed and could not bear. This season the wet weather has given the vines the greatest growth ever known. They are now in the finest shape possible, and next year an immense crop is expected. Mr. Goodman says a conservative estimate will make the value of the Missouri fruit crop this year at $20,- 000,000 In 1891 the crop returns showed the value of the yield that year at $10,000,000, and this year the crop is not only double that of 1891, but the general quality is far superior.

Will Ring For Freedom, Chicago, Ill., September 10.—The Columbian Liberty bell starts on its trip around the world on Friday morning at 8 o'clock. It will first go to the Atlanta exposition to remain two months. Then it will be taken to New Orleans and the City of Mexico, and from there to Runny- mede, England, where the bell will ring in commemoration of Magna Charta. The rest of the journey has not yet been planned, but it is the intention to have the bell reach Mount Arrarat in 1900, and ring at a congress of representatives from every religious organization on earth.

Pork products have been reasonably yield- ing, with prospects of a large corn crop, but before the close hada strong- er tone. The cotton market, lifting and falling a fraction each day, al- ternately, shows no settled tendency, big stocks balancing an undoubted but yet not definite decrease in yield. The surprising increase in produc- tion and advance in prices of iron seem to be bringing a natural check, ON THE INCREASE. Most of the Cholera Cases in Oriental Ports Prove Fatal. { San Francisco, Sept. 21.—The | steamer Gaelic, which arrived yester- day from Hong Kong and Yokohama, did not stop at Honolulu. She brought eleven cabin passengers from Hiogo, the worst infected cholera district in the Orient. Since last advices there has been an increase of cholera plague in the Oriental ports. During the two weeks preceding the sailing of the ship there had been six deaths from cholera in Hong Kong out of 54cases at Lagasaki, 256 deaths out of 329 cases at Hiogo and 27 cases with 19 deaths at Yokohama. After in- spection by members of the board of health, the passengers and mails were landed and the steamer returned to quarantine. The postmaster has re- ceived instructions from Washington in response to his suggestions direct- ing him to fumigate the mails received from infected ports. ‘The chief of po- lice has ordered a house to house can- | vass for the purpose of compelling all citizens to put their houses in the best sanitary condition possible. A FIRE PROOF VAULT. An Indianapolis National Bank's Two Mil- lion Dollars Unscathed. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 21.—The six-ton steel door of the vault of the Indiana national bank, which was de- stroyed by fire Monday, was slowly swung open this morning, after some hammering and the application of wrenches by experts. The plate of glass through which was seen the clock- work mechanism, was “sweaty” and clouded with dampness and there were traces of rust about the steel edges of the door, but the interior of the vault and the contents were found intact. as prices have gone so high as to cause some purchases from Europe, both of pig and finished products, and have also caused a distinct shrinkage in home demand. Leather has further advanced in some qualities, though the rise of 51 per cent. for the first half of the year on sixteen qualities has been followed by only 2 per cent. rise since July 1, and this week a break has occurred of 2 cents in Union crop. Hides are 8 per cent. lower than July. The cotton mills, which laid in stocks of cotton below 6 cents, are enriched by the advance in material, and enabled to make frequent ad- vances in goods, which are sustained. The present demand is dull, but there are no reports of stoppage, and the threatened strike at Fall River does not come. The woolen manufacturer is doing well in dress goods and hosiery, but the demand for men’s woolens is much re- stricted, and a few mills have closed. Sales of wool are smaller than last year, and for three weeks only 17,133,- 470 pounds, of which 7 foreign, against 24,572,400 in 1892, of which 7,614,000 were foreign. Prices of foreign wool are so low that pur- chases for export have been made. The failures this week have been 213 in the United States against 210 last year and 3 last year. BLANCHE LAMONT’S RING. A Pawobroker Testifies That Durrant Tried to Sell It. SAN FRANctsco, Sept. 21.—The prose- cution in the case of Theo. Durrant an- nounced yesterday that its attorneys would be through with the direct ex- amination next Wednesday. Adolph Oppenheim, a pawnbroker, testified that on April 4 and 10 Durrant came to his store and offered for sale a ring with a_ small chip diamond. The witness select- edaring from those identified as be- longing to Blanche Lamont, and said that was the ring offered him by Dur- rant. He had declined to purchase it, and Durrant had taken it away with him. The witness stated that since testifying at the preliminary ex- amination he had_ received two letters offering him bribes to modify his testimony. One of the letters offered him $500 on con- dition that he state on the stand that he could not positively identify Dur- rant. He was not to see anyone in connection with the bribe until after he had given his testimony, when the money would be paid to him. The second letter was of a similar charac- ter. The witness said he had turned both letters over to the police. BASEBALL GAMES. National League. At Boston—Boston, 5; New York, 3. At St. Louis—Chicago, 4; St. Louis, 0.
