EUROPEAN CROP SHORTAGE.
Agricultural Department Summarizes
the Situation.
Washington, Oct. 18. The monthly
report of the agricultural department
on the European crop condition, sum
marizing the crop reports of European
correspondents to Statistician Hyde has
been made public. Tho following is an
abstract:
Recent information, while it may in
some cases modify the crop estimates
for particular countries, does not essen
tially change the situation as regards
the deficiency in the principal crops of
Europe. The outlook for wheat in the
Australasian countries continues good,
but the prospects in Argentina are
somewhat less bright, owing to the
drought and frosts. Accounts from In-
lia are quite favorable, both as to the

Judicial Bench.

EVANGELINA IN NEW YORK.
The Cuban Heroine Arrived From Ha
vana on the Steamer Seneca.
New York, Oct. 18. Evangelina Cis
neros, who recently escaped from a
Spanish prison in Cuba, was a passen
ger on the Ward lino steamer Seneca,
which arrived today from Havana.
Miss Cisneros asked to be excused from
following May.
j "When my resignation takes effect
I my period of service on this bench will
! have exceeded that of any of my prede
cessors, while my entire judicial life
i will have embraced more than 40 years.
I I may he pardoned for saying that dur
' ing all this period, long in comparison

iu retrospect it has gone with the swift
ness of a tale that is tol l, I have not
shunned to declare in every case com
ing before me for decision conclusions
which my dclibeiato convictions exer
cise of such abilities and requirements
as I possessed.
"It is a pleasant thing in my memory
that my appointment came from Presi

the last survivor. Up to that time,
there had been no representative here

ment and escape. On the passenger list
she was registered an Miss Juana Sola. ;
She was traveling under the cue of a ;
gentleman who accompanied her from '
Havana. Several newspaper reporters
and four women went alongside the
steamer, and after the health oflicers' ;
inspection was oser they accompanied i
.Miss Cisneros to this city.
Miss Cisneros' escape and safe arrival
on the Seneca was one of the most dar
ing feats ever attempted and success
fully carried out. On Saturday, when
the beneca was to leave Havana, deteo-
grants, both of. which were often over
laid by the claims of first settlers. To
bring order out of this confusion, con
gress passed an act providing for aii
other seat on this bench, with the in
! tention that it should be filled by some
one familiar with these conflicting
titles and with the mining laws of the
coaet, and it so happened that, as I had
; framed the principal of these laws, ami

"Few appreciate the magnitude ol
our labors. The buideii restinir nnm.
ably have prevented the departure of
Miss Cisneros from Cuba had it not
been for refreshments, including wine,
served them by friends of Miss Cisneros
aboard the Seneca.
A few minutes before the Seneca
was ready to sail, a slim young fellow
came runnng across the wharf. He
had no baggage and was fashionably
dressed. The deteetves stopped hm.
"My name is Juan Sola," he said,
and he showed his passjiort. Every
thing was satisfactory. So tho senor
was allowed to go aboard. It is said if

Serious Accident In a Cincinnati Opora
House Three Were Killed.
Cincinnati, Oct. 18. Three persons
were killed and over 30 others were
more or less seriously injured by the
falling of the dome of Robinson's
opera-house this evening.
About 8:45 o'clock, soon after the
raising of tho curtain at tho perform
ance of "Dangers of a Great City,"
plastering began to fall from the dome
ceiling, 40 or 50 feet above the people
in the parnuette. The house waa well
filled, but not crowded. Tho plaster
ing fell iii small particles at first, but
enough to alarm some of the timid, who
retired.
A little later the plastering began to
shower down in great chunks. Thero
was a rush from the gallery, which was
not very well filled. The balcony was
soon emptied. Those in the dress circle
retired as promptly as possible, and,
strange to say, without apparent panic.
The crowding of those to the door ob
structed the passage of the people from
the parqnette, which accounts in a
measure for the number of oausalties.
Nobody expected at the moment any
other danger than from the falling plas
tering. Suddenly, and with a great crash,
the great central truss of the ceiling,
80 feet long and 30 feet wide, oamo
plunging down. The ends of it struck
on the two gallery wings and doubled
it up in the center, sending down into
the parqnette a great scattering of
joists and timbers. Nothing on the
stage was harmed. There were moans
from the injured, which, as often hap
pens, were loudest from those least
hurt
The news Bpread rapidly, and there
was a rush of patrol wagons and firemen
to the scene. The salvage corps, with
its wagon, was first on the ground, and
it was followed by the police patrol
wagons, which carried the injured to
the Cincinnati hospital.
The list thus far showed three dead,
live dangerously if not fatally wounded,
and 26 more or less seriously injured.
In addition to these, a large number,
probably 25 or 80, were so slightly in
jured as to be able to walk home.
Of the seriously injured at the
hospital, several will suffer amputation
of limbs, yet every one is refusing to
submit to the operation. A score of
surgeons volunteered their assistance to
the hospitals corps. A sufficient num
ber was accepted

A Helena-Alaska Company.
Helena, Mont., Oct. 18. Today ar

us for the hist 15 or 20 years has been
enormous. The volumes of our reports
show that I alone have written 620
opinions. If to these are added 67 opin
i oiib in tho circuit conn and 365 pre-
pared while I was on the supreme court
; of California, it will be seen I have
voiced the decision in 1.043 cases. It
may be said that all of our decisions
, have not met with the universal ap
; proval of the American people, yet it is
to the great glory of that people that
' always and everywhere has been yielded
I a willing obedience to them. That fact
; is eloquent of the stability of popular

FORTY-FOUR CAiES.
High-Water Murk In the Fever-Stricken
City.
New Orleans, Oct. 18. Fever cases
ran up rapidly today. By 10 o'clock
there had been 17 cases reported, and
by 6 o'clock 44, so that early in the
evening the prospects were excellent
that this day would show the high
water mark. There were thrtie deaths.
An excellent feature of tho situation.
however, is that recoveries and dis
charges of patients are numerous. This
is the 40th day of the fever, and the
total number of recoveries exceeded the
total number of cases now under treat
ment, showing the success which local
physicians are meeting with in treating
cases.
The weather is a trifle cooler this
evening, but is still warm enough to
rapidly develop cases.
Douglas Bolte, a negro leader, was
lynched at a small settlement on Bayou
Burteria, about 15 miles from this city.
His offense was running the quarantine
gauntlet.
The Knights of Honor have organized
a committee and notified the grand offi
cers that they are prepared to look after
any member of the order that may be
sojourning in this city pending the pre
vailing fever, so that fraternal care and
attention may be necorded such mem
bers as may become afflicted.
Down an Kmhankment.
St. Louis, Oct. 18. A special to the
Republic from Selma, Ala., says: A
horrible aeddont occurred on the Mo
bile & Birmingham road, near Mill
house, 20 miles south of this city, at
2:80 this afternoon, the engineer and
fireman being killed, and several per
sons wounded. The dead are: Ollie
Munn, engineer, and Jerry Codd, fire
man. The injured are: J. E. Broad
street. conductor,aud Quarantine Officer
Newman.
While approaching Millhonse, the
train was running 20 miles an hour.
Without a moment's warning, and
from some inexplicable cause, the truck
of the tender jumped the track, caus
ing the whole train to go down a 12
foot embankment. The engineer lived
until evening, dying in terrible agony.
Horseless llrewery Wagons.
St. Louis, Oct. 18. Anton Steuver,
president of a local brewing company,
says that in a few days the big brewery
wagons will be propelled by gasoline
engines instead of horses. Herbert
Mulherren, a yonng man of this city, is
the inventor of the engine, which
weighs only 800 pounds and which will
run 10 hours on five gallons of gasoline,
which can be bought for five cents per
gallon. -No engineer is required, and it
s self-oiling The gearing can be re
crsed and the wagon suddenly stopped
or instantly backed without stopping
the engine The 300-pound machine
will furnish 4i horse-power. It will
be a great saving to concerns using a
number of horses.
