Aii Old Ladv in Seattle Beaten to
Death.
A STOVE Ml) THE WEAPON USED
Terrible Midnight Strunulc in an
Isolated Shanty Her Son Ciiicf-Stricken.
Si:.vrri.Kf Wash., Sept. ,"i. Within the
four hours preceding midnight last night
there was committed in South Seattle
one of thc most brutal murders iu the
history of the city. An old woman, 80
years of age. named Charlotte Petting,
had her brains beaten out with an iron
stove-plate, and her little trunk was
robbed of the havings of herself and son
for years, $790 iu gold coin. The fiend
or fiends who committed tho deed are
unknown and have probably left thc
city with the gold for which a gray-
haired mother's life was sacrificed.
Mrs. Felting, with her son, Earnest
Fetting, lived in the southern part of
the city, in what is known as "Shanty-
town." Tliev are Germans. The son is
a tall, innocent-looking man, about GO
years of age, with llaxen hair and blue
eyes, and is a woodcutter. Yesterday
ovening at 7 o'clock Earnest Fetting and
James King, a son-in-law, left the little
shack and went to the People's theater.
They were the last persons who saw the
old ladv alive. When thev returned at
2 o'clock this morning they found the
door unlocked and partly ojien. Fet
ting exclaimed, "I have been robbed."
King replied that perhaps it was not so.
and pushed back the door. On the
floor, between the low bed and a small
cook stove, standing in the center of the
room, lay the poor old woman. Her
face was turned sideways, pressing
against the oven door. Jt was a mass
of clotted blood, while her gray hair
streamed in tangled bloody strings over
her shoulders. Several large gashes
were visible, but were filled with clotted
blood. In her mouth was stuffed a
large cotton handkerchief, and a strap
passing the handkerchief and under the
chin formed a gag. She was in her
night dress, which was of white cotton
and not much disarranged. The littL
room had been simply turned upside
down, and nothing was left in place.
The garments hanging on the wall haU
been torn down and the trunk had been
emptied, the chairs had all been over
turned and there was ample evidence or
a terrible struggle. When the two men
realized what had taken place, tho son
for a moment was stunned. Walkii";
mechanically over to his dead mother,
he lifted her in his arms and placed her
on the bed. Then lie gave way to a fit
of grief which was heartrending. The
condition in which the room was found
seemi to bear out this theory of tho
murder: The old lady had retired, but
was expecting her son back. When the
demons who murdered her came, she
arose from the bed and unlocked and
opened the door. Then the men, for
there must have been more than one,
threw a cloth over her face and shut out
her cry of alarm. Then gagging her
they beat her head to a jelly with the
iron stove plate found near her. After
doing this, they ransacked the room for
tho money they knew she had concealed.
In her trunk they found it and then
(led. The detectives will not say
whether or not they have a clue. Tho
son save no one nut viianua wn,
nelsrtibor. knew of the money being in
the house, and he only within a few

CROPS AND WEATHER.
Fruit, liny, Drain iinil I'l-oilncn Tlniii(;li
mit DrcK'in.
The Oregon state weather bureau, in
co-operation with the weather bureau
of the United States department of agri
culture, tho central ollico of which is in
Portland, has issued thc following crop
and weather bulletin for the week end
ing Sept. o, 189;) :
WKSTKU.V 0Ki:00.V.
Weather A remarkably warm wave
passed over during the first of the week.
August 21st was the warmest day of tho
year, the temperature reading 00 de
grees at many places. The latter part
of the week was decidedlv cooler. The
mean temperature ranged from OS de
grees at places on tho immediate coast,
to tit! degrees at inland places. Tho at
mosphere was smoky, due to numerous
forest fires. The smoke was particu
larly dense in the Willamette and Hogue
river valleys. Falling ashes became ob
jectionable to pedestrians on the streets
of Portland, where the deposit was suf
ficiently thick to attract attention.
There was about the average amount of
sunshine, and no rain occurred.
Crops Harvest is nearing comple
tion, being principally confined to late
sown spring wheat and oats. Early
sown spring wheat was a good crop,
more than realizing expectations, while
late sown grain was practically a failure.
The grain failed to mature and many oat
crops were cut for hay. The second
crop of clover was light.
Hops The hop crop is demanding the
attention of the public. Preparations
arc being made for picking and seeming
large yields. Foin the first propitious
weather that predominated resulted in
secuiing to the hop grower an excellent
stand. Now the vines aro laden with
burrs, of good average size and of excel
lent quality. Picking will commence in
some sections on the 7th of September.
The warm, dry weather of the past week
caused the lice to multiply, especially
ou bottom lands where the vines are
green. The ciop is so far advanced tow
ards maturity that there ia littlo fer of
any material injury hing done by in
serts should the weather be sufficiently
warm to assist them in increasing.
Fruits and vegetables Fruit is plenti-
iu! in market. Plums and pears are ot
excellent quality. Much fiuit is being
rl ipped to e.istem markets. Apples are
p'.c itii'ul, but inferior, being injuied by
dlin moth. Peaches are plentilul in
t! e southern and interior counties. Tho
ciop in northern counties suffered from
curl-leaf, and in some sections was an
entire failure. Some fine specimeus of
vegetablea are being shipped to market.
Vegetables are plentiful for homo con
sumption. Potatoes will average well;
tho crop has suffered from drouth.
More rain would have matured an enor
mous crop. Corn continues green, with
good growth ; tho ears aro not ma
turing. More rain is necessary to make
an average i rop in all sf ctionB, except
in tho southern counties of Josophino
and Jackson, where the essential cli
matic condition is warm nights.
KAISTKIIN OltKOOX.
Weather No rain fell during tho past
week, and tho temperatuio was de
cidedly warm during tho first days, and
became much cooler during tho close (of
the week. Many mountain fires caused
the atmosphere to be smoky. Tho sun
shine was about the average.
Crops Harvest is nearly over and
threshing is far advanced in tho Colum
bia river valley. Spring sown grain is
yielding below tho average, as was ex
pected. Late sown spring grain is u
poor crop, yielding from 12 to 15 bushels
per acre. All fall sown grain has been
threshed and tho yields were more sat
isfactory ; also tho quality of tho grain
is superior. Tho second crop of alfalfa
is being cut. It is a light crop. Farm
ers will enter the winter season well
supplied with hay, as tho first crops
were largo ami cured well, Hot, dry
winds, which occurred on Sept. 1st, in
jured corn and fruit. Fruits aro ripen
ing rapidly. Peaches are not plentilul,
but ol good quality. Plums aro ex
cellent and abundant, Owing to de
pressed times, there is no sale for pro
duce of any kind. With Increased acre
KU
as much wheat wuh grown thiH
yeai as iu 1802. A eompaiiton of depot
receipts show that tho amount oi wheat
Hhipped will eqilal not more than one
third the amount received at this date
in 1S02.

Tnlls How Sllvor
monetized.
W,hiunoton, Sept. 5. Stewart of Ne
vada spoke today in opposition to re
peal. Ho said that in 1807 the mints of
the continent of liuropo and those in
the United States were open to the free
coinage of silver. He then recited the
events leading up to tho demonetization
of silver in 1873. Sherman, he said,
introduced a billfprepared by a clique in
the treasury department, headed by
John J. Knox, professedly to revise and
codify the mint laws, but which in real
ity omitted the standard silver dollar
from the list of coins. After two days'
debate, the bill which was reported by
Sherman from the finance committee
passed, Sherman, he said, voting in the
negative. Sherman very well knew,
said Stewart, before his name was
reached in the calling of the roll, that
the bill would pass by an overwhelming
majority. The history of the bill in the
house of representatives was suggestive.
After it w.'.a developed that the bill de
monetized silver, Hooper of Massachu
setts, in charge of the bill, affected to
abandon it. Some days afterward, in
the absence of Representative Potter, of
New York, who had discovered the fact
that the bill demonetized silver, Hooper
presented a substitute for the bill which
be falsely claimed contained none of the
objectionable features of the original
bill. The substitute was passed under
the erroneous belief produced by Hoop
er's statements, that the substitute was
devoid of the objectionable provisions of
the original bill. The substitute, as it
came from the house, contained in the
Gth section a provision for a dollar of
3S4 grains.

Fall fishing on the outside rivers of
Oregon and Washington still continues
poor. At Tillamook and Siuslaw the
fish are somewhat behind last year's
catch, and like discouraging reports
come from every other fall cannery.
Frank Sloan, one of the two men rob
