6 THE OM “UNCLB RUFUS" What He Thinks of the Speonla« “Hon Orase and the Orops. New York Graphic, J 18, «Anything new to-day, Mr, Hatch asked a Graphic reporter, as Uncle Rufus finished looking over the tape in his new Broadway office this morn- ng. fin hing particularly startling just now,” replicd the veteran financier, “axcept that everybody is erazy, In: sanity prevails from the bishop to the bootblack. Men, women and ¢hil dren are speculating in Wall street, The masses are going to lose, as they did in 1873, The last card has been played on the bull side, and that has been played by Windom. Look at the stock list, - The new securities placed on the! New York stock exchange within the last cighteen months amountto nearly £2,000,000,000 or more than the national debt. Within eighteen months more we will have ton through trunk lines to the wost, and only business enough for foar. The sooner the stock exctange and the hanks realize this the better it will be for them and their customers Tam fearing that many of our young brokers who are carrying these photo- | graphs, chromos lithograph pictures, Shiissovered milrouds, And gift ontor- prises will suddenly go out of business 1f a halt is not called in time.” “This certainly looks startling,” suggoested the reporter, ““Well, its about the truth,” re- joined Uncle Rufus. “‘Look at the crop outlook, for mstance. 1 don’t think that we can harvest more than two-thirds or three-quarters of the crop of 1880 and 1879, The agricul- tural bureau at Washington has put winter wheat, on January 1st last, at 76 per cent. and spring wheat at 87 per cent., with a large decrease of acreage. We must ’fnvu continued good harvest weather to give us a 756 ser cent. yield, All the information hwfi from the west leads mo to be- lievo it will be below 75 per cent. So far as the prite of whont is concerned, the news from Continental Europe is umversally favorable; in some sec- tions they will raise better crops than they have had in twenty years. England always buys, and will, in all srobability, want her usual quantity. With poor crops here and a good harvest on the other side, it looks bad for us, It should be borne in mind that we have had extraordinary good crops in this country for three years past, while Europe for the same period has suffered with short crops.” “‘As to the corn crov.” “It cannot be contradicted that our corn crop last year was 50,000, 000 bushels short as compared to the crop in 1879. The winterof 1880 and 1881 commenced the first of Novem- ber. It was what is known as a bliz- zard,—the, coldest and most severe winter that has ever been experienced in this country. Ono result was an unusual large consumption of corn on the farm and its immediate vicinity for feeding purposes. Then, again, large quantitics were used for fuel, and in consequence it is fair to pro- sume that from 256 to 33 per cent. more corn was consumed in this way of the crop of 1880 than during any recent previous year. This does not include the hundred of thousands of acres of corn that were not gathored and rotted on the ground. The re- ceipts of corn in Chieago from Jan. 1 1880, to June 14, 1880, were 54,611, 218 bushels, and the receipts from Jan. 1, 1881 to June 14, 1881, were 18,113,180 bushels This shows a decrease of 08,088 bushels. The price of corn in Chicago now is three-quarters of a cent per pound, and the price of wheat is about two cents per pound, so I looked for a large advance in corn even with good frospofls until the next corn harvost. f anything should happen, to the corn-cop in the 'way of early frost, and;Vennox sa; P are to have frost every month this year, you will sec corn sell at 81 a bushel in New York before Novdmber next. The report of the Agricultural Commis- sioner of Tlinois estimates the wheat crop of that state atabout half of what it was last year, and that was up to June 1. \\'u{mvv had since Juned two wecks of the severest storms, tor- nadoes, and hurricanes throughout the great producing section ever known&:)}irjx have the effect to A ) ] Taken all in all, k! 0 Wore to ha h with a b 160k bad He iy, \ Syracuse Courler, ' Williaia Mays and Henry Overholtz were-brought to Auburn ‘prison yes- terday mormngto serve life sentences, Theso men were road ents, and wore sont to Auburn as United Statos conviets, The cfticers in charge left Boise City, Idaho, on the 3d for Og- den, Utah, 2560 miles away froui the nearest railroad station. Before their departure from Ogden it was aiscoy- ared that Mays had sawed Lis shackles in two different places, Everything ?uucd along smoothly until Boone, owa, & place of about 3,000 inhabi- tants on the Chicago and Northwest- ern road was reached, While the train was moving out of the depot Mays, who in some wauner had picked the lock of bis handcuffs, jumped out of the car window aud put for the woods. The train was stopped, and a party started in pur. suit. The country was scoured, und fifteen hours after the escape Mays waa found sccreted in a forest. Blays, like a stag at bay, turned upon his pursucrs, In one hand he huhhu 1 , and in the 1 dirk-knife, s qunitity of eayenne pepper. He threatoned t L any one who ap- proachcd, bui when a score of revol- vors were levelod at his head he yielded Mays had rewoved Lis shackles, HQ said he picked the lock 1o his handeulls with & picco of wire. When the paty reticned with Mays|flowes, wing a s they were obliged to force their way thringh a crowd of about 2,000 peo plo, whohad nssonbled in frout of the village blucksinith's 1o witiess the operation of rive the irons to s ankles. No further trouble was experienced on the trip. Mays und Overlholtz were convicted about years ago of robbing a stag and il | and wore sentenced to imprisonment for life in the Boise City Penitentiary. About one year ago Mays and Over- holtz with five others escaped. A |guard named White was dis armed, and taking his revol- vers, the party took to the hills. One of the fugitive was shot on the start. The others manaced to elude pursuiv for a ruonth, but were finally recap- tured, During this time they were for several days without food, and were frequently within a few feet of their pursuers. Mays afterwards bragged that he could at any time have killed his pursuers, Upon their return to the territorial prison they were each shackled to a ball weighing sixty pounds, which they carried up to the time of their transfer. It be- came evident that the Boise City penitentiary would not hold Mays and Overholtz, and an order was secured from the attorney general au- thorizing their removal from Auburn, Mays is a very tall man and is rather fine-looking, Overholtz, his com- anion, is & mild-mannered, smooth- aced young man, about 22 years of age. ~ Mays, in telling about the erime for which he and Overholtz were sent to prison, said: ‘“We |stopped the Fargo express, and got the treasure-box, but did not med- dle with the mail, and did not get a nickle, and that is what makes me 1. We stopped the express in mber, 1870, and in December were surrounded by soldiers and cap- tured in Oregon, 300 miles away. We were convicted in Jannary, 1880, and laced in the government prison at Boise City. The guards abused me, and I put up a job with Overholtz (he was in the outer cell,) and a few others, to escape. We were working outside the prison. 1 held the guard and Overholtz took away his pistols, Wo had a fight, of course, and one of the prisoners was killed and we wound- ed two of the guards that tried to cap- ture us. We escaped to the moun- tains, and finding a shanty with some tools we managed to cut off our fet- ters. In amonth the soldiers recap- tured us and put on the heavy shack- les and a ball and chain weighing for- ty-five pounds.” A NEW CHARLEY ROSS, A Connectiout Ship Master Tolls a Strange Story- Hydrophobia On Board Ship, Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin, Juno 18 Nows has been received of the safe arrival of Captain Nelson Huntley at Buenos Ayres after a passage of sixty- four days. The following will be of intorest to a good many, and we will let the captain relate it in his own graphic style: “We had one boy on the passage out, who was taken with hydrophobia, and of all the temptuous times that ever I experionced at. sca that beat them all. Kor two days there was not a thing done on board the vessol oxcept the steering, all hands being required to take care of him, and sometimes the united strength of four or five able men was insufticient to hold him, and we were obliged to lash him fore and aft. When the spasms were on him he was more powerful than a full-grown hurricane. S wodld” how' ke Unela Jorry Bush’s hound, only a thousand times moro savagely: would bark, snap, snarl, yell, froth at the mouth, and bite everything before him. The con- contrated agony of a hundred ordin- ary death-beds would not ,equal the sum of that boy’s suffering. We thought: he was dying a dozen different times, and during asane interval between the spasms he though so himself, and called for me, saying he had something to tell me; and now comes the funniest part of the yarn, for I cannot conceive of any onc Yardening his soul with such an outrageous lie at a° time when he supposed’ himbelf'to be drawing ' his last breath. He said*he was Charlie Ross; said he remembered at the timo ho was taken away of crossing a ferry with a lady, and, as the chain was let down and she was leaving the boat, thinking he was behind her, two young fellows that he knew, brothers ho thinks they. were, by the name of Goorge and - Harry Stephenson, snatched him away in'a cmws, and he yamembered being taken “on board a steamer and into a state xoom, where there was & man waiting for them. They played; an accordion, showed him pictures, and gave him cake to eat, after which he foll asleep. They were some time on board the ateamer and he remembered their landing at Hampden on the Penobscot, m there he was taken in a market wagon covered with blankets to a farm house in the country, where the; remained through the night. The next he was carried ‘hidden in a load of hay to Frankfort and to the house of a man by the name of Butterfield, who kept a hay and grocery store. Here he said he was kopt for some years, shut in a dark room at first, and never allowed to go out vxcopt for a ride sometimes of an ovening with the hired man, will say this much 1 favor of the boy's yarn that he has weak eyes, and although ho is intelligent looking, and has nothing of the appearance of one born of ignorant parents, he can nei- ther read nor write, He says books and papers were kept from him, He says his hair was long and curly, and tlwly cut it off and rubbed somcthing on his head every day to keep it from curling, Buttertiold was very cruel to him and gave him the name of Pink- ham, by which ho, has since been known. " He finally ran away, and has since taken care of himself, Now, whether ho knew himself to ho lying, or was doing it unconsciously, I can not tell. 1 merely know he was porfoctly ‘rational at tho time, and was lying, as we supposed, at the point of death, and was so weak that be would only gasp out one or two sentences at a time. If there was any truth in it, and the boy was correct as to dates, there is one way that T think he might be identified | by his parents. Ho said he was not | eertain as to nawes, but thinks it was « rge Stephenson wis Lo thit was setting out sane p kuife, and he 1 by catehing hold of the flowers 8o that George struck him, fiost withithy e onthe wrist, and enrage \ i :nl v ot s brewst, and as he | put up his b wird off the blow {the knife cut his hand betweon two |5t of the fingers and struch lis bresst and thero are t scias on bis wrist { and hand and Lis b t, and auyon between Boise City and Kilto, | that ever knew him could recoguizo | 1 at least the nawe | him by them. Since he got well T have asked him about it, and he says he knows he is the original Charlie Ross, but he could tell me nothing more about it. T sappose he is lying, but I wish that his parents might know of it. He is 8o blessedly honest looking that I have given him us as a gonundrum which T cannot make out. S——— AN OHIO ENOCH ARDEN. After Five Yeoars Absence a Hns- band Tarns Up and Visits His Remarried Wife. Cleveland Leader. The provention of a suicide yester. day morning, by somo workmen en- gaged in a ship-yard along the old river bed, developed a story that re sembles that of Enoch Arden, only in this case the fatest Enoch did not dis play the self-sacnificing. disposition of the hero in the famous fiction, but | acted much like a selfish, self-willed mortal, devoid of the gentleness that speaks the man, embarked for a cruise in the steamer Harvest Home, but soon afterwards the sad news came that the vessel was wrecked and many lives lost, Mis, Dyer waited in vien for any tidings of her husband’s safety, and she came the belief that he had been drowned. Gradually the comforter, Time, healed the wound, and another suitor came secking her hand, and y:umining to make her future life as happy as he knew how. His name is given as Wallace Andrews, and, from all ac- counts, he is a man among men, worthy to take unto himself a woman and cherish her as his helpmect. The widow looked with favor upon An. drew’s suit, and after a short courtship they were married. The two lived very happily together, no reason ever being given the former Mrs. Dyer to make the regret thatshe again changed her name. Andrew is also a sailor and is pre sent on a trip, A few days ago a man came to the house where Mrs. An- drews is living and told her he was claim a husband's share in her affec- tions® There was no doubt whatever about the matter, the newcomer prov- ing himself clearly to be the long missing Dyer. Ho said he had es- caped a watery grave and had wander- ed about the country ever since, but, growing tired, desire to return to his wife and home seized him, and he had come, The poor woman was thunder stricken at the sight of her former lord and master, and told him he must go away. Whether the two had lived happily or otherwise before, the woman did not say, but it is fair to say that his long and willful ab- sence was not indicative of over pow- ering affection. She wished him to go away and not disturb and break up her domestic happiness. She could never again be his wife, and she would rather he would leave. This he re- fused to do and attempted to argue tl point with her. By threats and timidation she says he remained with her several days in the relation of husband, Growing disgusted and tired with the annoyance, she packed up her things and. had them ship- ped to Chicago, intendin to follow them. Dyer Tl this, and, she says, he followed the goods and had them shipped to Milwaukee in his own name. Then he came to her again and told her what he had done, saying she must go away with him to where the goods were shipped. She refused to do this and was angry for what had been done. As a result of her state of mind, and being sick of life, sho proceeded early yesterday morn- ing, about 7:30 o'clock, to the riv bed near the water works and delibe- rately jumped in, fully intending to tind rufiuf from her complication of difticulties in a watery grave. Some workmen in the ship yard near by baulked her in this, however, and she was taken out and conveyed to the residence of Mrs. Aikins, No. 38 Her- man strect, where she was revi being almost drowned. A few min- utes more would have finished her earthly career. When sufficiently re- covered to talk, Officer Ruckman, of the Fourth precinet, talked to her, and to him she related the story as given above Bhe will probably re- cover, though, if her latest experi- ence is any indication of the future, it is a question with her friends whether success would not have been preferable. A Happy Ending. Mr. Theodore Stanton, son of the Hon, Henry B, Stanton, of New York, was married May 19, at the American legation in Paris, to Mlle. Marie Marguerito de Berry, of Paris. This union was preceded by & roman- tic courtship. In 1878, when in Paris socing the Exposition, the bridegroom noticed one day in t I|Journal des Debats, that & certain young lady had just taken a degree at tho Sorbonne. Curions to investigate this example of French education, he addressed to the young lady a letter asking iuformation on the subject. This gave rise to a correspondence, which continued for a few years, Mr. Stanton returning to Ameriaa after the interchange of tho first lotter with- aut having made the acquaintance of his fair correspondent. Tn the autumn of 1880 he visited Paris again, sa« the young lady, foll in love,—not with her, but with Mlle. de Berry, her friend from infancy, and her constant companion. Now it happened that these two girls had long before agreed to bo married on the swme day, and it also huppened that Mr, Stanton’s cor- respondent had long been engaged to the brothor of his intended. 8o a double wedding was the result, and Mr. Stanton's old_correspondent be- came his sister-in-law.
