The crop reports from th great grain-’ producing states indicate that the farmers of the west will accumulate much money this fall. Early in the season the compiaint was made in Nebraska, Kansas, the two Dakotas and, in fact, every other grain- growing section that, what with drought and other hard-luck visitations, the grain production of this year would fall way be- low the estimate. The predictions were not justified, however, and reports from the spe- clal correspondents of the Times-Herald in- dicate that the present is the best season for grain that has been known. In Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska the yields were particularly good and the prospects for the crops that still remain un- harvested are very promising. In the case of Kansas, Secretary Coburn of the agri- culture department sees no reason to alter the figures he gave out some time ago. The corn crop, he says, will no doubt reach 385,000,000 bushels, and may improve upon those figures even. The crop will be far in excess of any previous year. The total acreage planted to corn was 9,000,000, being 1,500,000 more than was ever planted to corn before in Kansas. The greatest corn pro- duction was in 1889, when the crop harvest- ed reached 300,000,000 bushels, making an average of forty bushels to the acre. In that year the farmers of the corn belt used corn for fuel, as the price was so low it would not pay the freight. Wheat and other grains are doing as well as corn in the state. While the state department of agriculture of Illinois is without official reports regard- ing the crops, sufficient information is at hand to enable the officials to say that the corn crop will be unprecedentedly large. Nothing can prevent this, as the fields are so well advanced to maturity that even dry weather from now until husking time could not set the crop back materially. The wheat and oats harvest is very light, as the rains did not come until too late to benefit them. The yield will be about 50 per cent of an average crop. ——_—_+ee_______ BURIAL OF A TRAPPIST. The Body Interred Uncoffined New Grave Partly Opened. From the Montreal (Quebec) Witness. The Rev. Father Medard of the Trappist Order at Oka died «n Wednesday last, and was buried yesterday. Father Medard’s family name was Placide Martin, and he was a native of the parish of St. Alexis, county of Montcalm. He studied in the Joliette College, and after his classical course entered the novitiate of the Oblates at Lachine. Having left that institution, he entered the Trappist monastery in 1891 and pronounced his vows in. March, 1893. The burial of a Trappist is a peculiar and solemn ceremony. Immediately after a monk is dead the body, dressed in the menastic robe, is stretched on a simple board, the head covered with the cowl, and then taken to the monastery chapel. There the body remains until the day of inter- ment, four yellow wax candles burning all the time, and all the monks in turn reciting the prayers of the liturgy, night and day. On the day of burial the prayers for the dead and a requiem mass are chanted, after which all the monks form in procession to follow their brother to his last resting place. During the funeral procession psalms are chanted in the mournful tone peculiar to the Trappist order. When the cemetery is reached more prayers are re- elted, and then the body is slowly lowered into the grave, not in a coffin, but simply dressed in the monastic robe worn during life. A monk then goes down into the grave to cover his dead brother's face with a cowl, after which the officiating priest slowly throws a shovelful of earth over the body. Two other monks do the same, and then the grave is filled up in the or- dinary way. After the burial the proces- sicn returns to the chapel in the same order. The Trappist cemetery is always placed in the interior yard of the monastery, so that the dead may always be in view of the living, and as soon as one monk is buried another grave next to the one just filled is partially dug up, that each may see the place where he may possibly be laid before long. da Gold Products of Colorado. From the Denver (Col.) News. The mining correspondent of The News at Cripple Creek, whose accuracy has never been questioned, estimates the gold product of that camp for the present year at $10,- 00,000. The estimate for lower Clear Creek county, of which Idaho Springs is the cen- ter, is $2,000,000. Here are the estimates of two camps which exceed the total product of the state for 1894, with Gilpjn and Lake, and San Miguel, and Boulder, and Park, and Summit, all gold centers, yet to hear from, to say nothing of numerous smalf camps whose output goes to swell the total of the year. If Lake is credited with $2,000,000, Gilpin with $3,000,000 and San Miguel with $2,- 000,000, and Boulder, Park, Summit and other points with only $1,000,000, the total would be $20,000,000 as the gold product of the state for 1895. Estimates, of course, are liable to be somewhat colored, and the figures of the actual output fall below the predictions, but with the data now at hand, and the prospects ahead, it is a safe as- sertion to make that the gold product of Colorado will range somewhere between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000 for the present year. ——___+e+____ What Constitutes News. From the Detroit Free Press. Just before reaching the North Carolina line I came upon a squatter’s cabin, with the squatter himself smoking his pipe at the door, and when I turned in to ask him for a gourd of spring water he cheerily called out: “Howdy, stranger; what’s the news?” “Well, it looks like war in Europe,” I an- swered, as I sat down beside him. “I don’t keer nuthin’ "bout Yurup—what else?” he replied. “They think the cholera may reach us this year.” “Dod rot the cholera! Hain’t thar’ nuth- in’ more?” “Perheps you have heard about the great coal-mine disaster in England?” I asked. “No, and I don’t wanter.” jut you asked for news.” “Sart’n I did, and I want news.

Eleetric System of Fire Alarm Service Greatly Needed—Police Court—Some General Notes. to “. ——— About 5 o'clock’ Yesterday afternoon fire was discovered ‘fn‘the residence of Mr. ‘“Maniy Rust, a Southern railway conductor, on upper Prince street, and on investiga- tion it was found that a mattress was yurning in one of the rooms.’ An alarm was turned in, but owing to the fact that the city has no reliable fire alarm system the engines took some little time to 1e- spond. When they did get to work, how- ever, the fire was quickly got under con- trol, andthe damage was not very great by fire, but the water deluged the, whole building and incréaned the financial loss many per cent. There is great complaint that an elec- tric fire alarm system has not been put in by the city fathers, as. it would not alone facilitate the arrival of the fire apparatus at burning buildings, but would be a sav- ing to the city of much expense brought about by false alarms. D. W. Holden Dead. Mr. D. W. Holden, who for the past tree years was superintendent of the Washing- :| ton, Alexandria and Mt,.,Vernon electric railway, but resigned about ten days ago, died at his residence, on South Washington street, yesterday afternoon about half- pest 3 o'clock, after an illness of about @ week.

He was born in Nescopeck, Luzerne county, on July 18, 1821. In 1859 he established himself in Philadelphia and lived there afterward. As a painter he displayed remarkable facility and produced a large number of works, many of which are well known. Among them may be named “De Soto Discovering the Mississipp!,” “‘Columbus Before Isabella the Catholic,” “The Embarkment of Colum- bus,” a series of paintings illustrating History of the Conquest of ‘Vandyke and Rubens,” “King »” “The Virtuoso,” ‘ Christian Martyrs in the Colliseum,” “Patrick Henry Before the Virginia House of Burgesses,” “Paul at Ephesus,” “St. Paul Preaching on Mars Hill,” “Paul Before Agrippa,” ‘Trial of Sir Henry.

This great work is the one by which he 1s best known. It is now in Memorial Hall, Fair- mount Park. ———— ee _____ MARSHALL PLEADED GUILTY. With the Other Murderers of Dinkins Sent to Prison for Life.

From the London Datiy News. During the ladt year the most remark- able acquisition tha@e by the department of printed books atthe British Museum has been the extrad#iinary collection of rare English books, Chigfiy of belles letters, of the period of Elizabeth and James I, dis- covered in 186%:by Mr. C. Edmonds, at Lamport Hall, Northamptonshire, the seat of Sir Charles Ighgm, where they had been laid aside and forgotten for probably not less than two ‘centuries. Twenty-two of these books hate’now found a home in Bloomsbury, and ferm by far the most im- portant acquisitton in early English litera- ture made by the museum for a long time. All ara exceedingly scarce, and two are absclutely unique. One of these is “The Transformed Metamorphosis,” a poem by Cyril Tourneur, the celebrated tragic poet, 1600; the other, “The Lamentations of Amintas for the Death of Phillls,” by Thomas Watson, “paraphrastically trans- lated out of Latin into Bnglish hexameters by Abraham Fraunce,” 1596. A book call- ed “Epicedion on Lady Helen Branch,” subscribed “W.

One person was killed and a score of others more or less seriously injured in a rear-end collision on the Camden and At- lantic railroad in the southern part of Camden, N. J., last night. The Atlantic City accommodation train, which left the shore at 5 o'clock, crashed into the rear end of an excursion train at Liberty Park station. Charles Johnson, the six-year-old son of Rev. Marshall Johnson, pastor of the Afri- can Methodist Episcopal Church of Cam- den, was burned to death, and the follow- ing are more or less seriously injured: Maggie Cannon, fourteen years, Camden. Daisy Nahen, nine years, Philadelphia. John Wilson, forty years, Camden. Lucy Buckman, twenty-five years, West Philadelphia. Matilda Quash, Garretsford, Pa. et) Quash, twenty years, Garretsford, ‘Mrs. Marshall, wife of the pastor. Mrs. Lizzie Watts, Camden. Mrs. Mary Jane Groves, West Philadel- phia. James Grovers, West Philadelphia. Immediately after the collision the rear ear of the excursion train caught fire and was completely burned. The train was in charge of Conductor J. J. Kay, and was the first section of fifteen cers that left Lakeside Park at 7:08 pm., having on board the parents and scholars of fourteen colored Sabbath schools from Camden, Philadelphia and several counties in Pennsylvania. It had stopped at the station to let off passengers from South Camden. The headlight of the Atlantic City train was seen as it rounded the curve at the city line, and a panic en- sued. A rush was made for the doors and win- dows, and children were thrown from the car to the platform, while others jumped from the windows. Mrs. Jchnson seized her boy’s hand and started for the door, but in the crush of struggling humanity he was wrenched from her grasp and trampled upon by-the excited passengers. The cresh followed, and in a moment the car was ablaze. An alarm was sent in to the Camden fire department, and the en- gines quickly responding, the flames were quickly subdued. Young Johnson’s body was afterward found under the car, burned to acrisp. It had fallen through when the floor gave way. The Atlantic City train was in charge of Conductor William Butler, Engineer Chas. Glendenning and Fireman Samuel Hinch- men. The forward part of the engine was stcve in, the smokestack broken and the pilot knocked off. The men declare they did not know of the presence of the excursion train at the station until after having rounded the curve, and it war then too late to avert the accident, although the lever was reversed, the airbrakes applied and every effort made to prevent a collision. The car was fgnited by of] from the lamps. A. E. Johnson, the operator at the sta- tion, asserts that his signals were correct, and Engineer Butler claims that so were his when he left Colllagswood, the first station beyond Liberty Park. Most of the injured persons were removed to their homes er to adjacent houses, whicn were tnrown open for their reception, and it is hoped that all will recover. SHE WAS HYPNOTIZED. Strange Story of a York State Svengali. From the New York Herald Today. RICHFIELD SPRINGS, N. Y., August 15, 1895.—At the first grand ball of the sea- son here tonight Miss Abigail Spates, the daughter of a wealthy farmer of East Springfield township, had an experience which tragically illustrates the folly of the hypnotic craze. The Three Hundred of Richfield assem- bled tonight at a ball, the first general en- tertainment of the season. Only guests of the hotels and well-known cottagers were invited. Nobody recognized the beautiful girl who walked into the ball room soon after the music began on the arm of Mr. Starr Keller, a young Richflelder. She Wore a Strange Look. The wealth and fashion of half a dozen great American cities were represented. Matrons and debutantes were eclipsed by the magnificent appearance of the un- known. She was tall and slender, her jet black hair contrasting with her deep blue eyes, which wore a strange look of ab- straction as she walked without speaking or turning either to the right or the kcft through the groups of curious guests. Just as they turned the band struck up “Ben Bolt,” set to waltz time, and in the dance, in which two hundred pairs joined, the fair unknown was conspicuous for her grace and abandon. The merriment was at its height, when, as the music fell into a minor key and tke strains of “Au Claire de la Lune” echoed plaintively down the hall, the unknown uttered a piercing shriek and fell at full length on “he ball room floor. Case Diagnosed as Catalepsy. In an instant all was confusion at that end of the room, and her apparently life- less body was borne speedily out of the crowd. Dr. Borland was hurriedly called in and diagnosed the case as catalepsy. ‘The girl's form was rigid, her pupils set and her arm, when extended, kept the po- sition in which it was put. Inquiry, however, developed the fact that the young girl was the victim of hypnotic suggestion, that she had never read “Tril- by,”” had never been to a ball before and actually had never waltzed before in her life; that her father, Joshua Spates, is one of the richest farmers of East Springfield, and that she had been persuaded to come to the Earlington ball, although she had never been out in evening dress in her life, by a gentleman who went on a fishing ex- cursion in that vicinity recently, and whose name is not now given because criminal proceedings are to be begun against him at once. Borrowed the Finery She Wore. It was he who introduced the farmer’s daughter, who turned out to be the velle of the Earlington ball, to Mr. Starr Keller, her escort, and who, having hypnotized the girl early in the evening, drove her to the hotel in a closed carriage and borrowed the finery in which she was dressed. —_——-+e0_____ > A Tempting Description. From the Hotel Reporter. Little Rastus was reading aloud for the edification of the family from his book of fairy tales. He began: “Once there was a flock of chickens which wandered after dark into a watermelon patch——” “See heah, boy!” his father interrupted, “when de preacher come nex’ Sunday I gwine ask heem ef dem words is really dar, an’ if you des ben makin’ dat up fer to tantalize me, I gwine dust yo’ jacket twell yo’ tongue hang out!” AUCTION SALES.
