(Halting on llogilt, lcleer,
(). P.. Hardy, of Hold Hill, has
been doing some wholesale blast
ing in order to change the channel
of Rogue river at Gold Hill for
mining purposes. One day re
cently there were twelve shots ar
ranged, varying in size iroui no io
'J,r)0 pounds of giant powder, and
in depth from six to ten feet. A
ton-foot fuse was used and took
aVmt five minutes to burn. The
spectacle, reminded one more of a
gi.yger in eruption than anything
e'se. It took several minutes lor
a l the shuts to explxle and it
seemed as though each succeeding
ehot was louder and threw dirt
and rocks higher than the preced
ing one until it reached a tieigut
of several hundred feet. Rocks
weighing 250 pounds were lifted
high in the air and landed half a
mile away. The depth of the
charge tended to keep everything
within a short radius. 1 ha ground
shook for the distance of a couple
of miles as though a sevore earth
quake was in operation, and the
sound of the explosion could be
heard for miles.
T wo-Ttalrda of a Crop.
The Salem Statesman says: Out
on Howell prairie and on toward
Silverton, where hop picking was
commenced so earnestly a few
days ago, the growers or some of
them have taaen olT their pickera
and will not harvest their crop.
They say they lind so many lice
and the hops in such poor condi
tion from the ravages of the insect
that they believe it will not pay to
pick them. The Bowen brothers,
after picking a ton, have ceased
all work. After the hops were
picked they fouud it so much work
to separate the good berries from
the mouldy ones that they would
not pick at all. Last year they
had 100 bales. Hugh Smith will
also probably not pick a hop. His
yard ia lousy and is close to the
Bowen yards. Mounts will not
have oyer a fifth of a crop. Kays
wHI have probably three-fourths
ot a crop, and J er man will have
about a half crop. Bumming it all
up, buyers and growers are of the
opinion that there will not be over
two-thirds of a yield in this part of
the country this year. ' There are
many new yards, bat it cannot be
said the acreage of bearing yards is
tliis any greater tban it w as last.
The high prices of 1890 encouraged
many people to plant hops, but
these yards cannot be figured on
this year, for hop vines never bear
much the first year. - It is likely
the 1892 acreage will be large, but
that of 1891 is not greater than it
was the preceding year. No price
is quoted on hops, as there are
jione in market. -As soon aa sam
ples oi tne crop carr ne Bcnr-Kksi,
lor examination a figure will bt
named, and from present indica
tions it is not questioned that the
figure will be prettv well up. The
nominal quotations are now l"(a
20c. Buyers think a good quality
nop will bring a good price as soon
as the market is fairly open. From
some sections of the country good
reports come. On the higher
grounds there are fewer lice, while
on lowland yards the pest is revel
ing. The Levy and Dove yard' are
practically tree from vermin, and
these are large fields. Mr. Beards
ley is still in doubt whether or not
it will pay him to pick. Last year
he had about 300 bales. The ex
pease of picking, cuting and pack
ing is so great (about be. per
pound) that many growers don't
feel like making a costly experi
ment on hops that may "prove un
marketable.

New York, Aug. 2!. Douglas
Green, who was, until nearly two
years ago, a member of the linn of
Green A Batemah, of this city,
well-known stockbrokers, baa re
turned to Wall street for the first
tine since he ran away w ith Alice
Snell McCrea. He was apparently
in the test of health and spirits.
Mr. Green had htt.e to say of bis
future intentions. He had been
in San Francisco and intended to
readjust his business alLi'rs in
New York as speedily as possible.
It is said bv those who gossip
about his return that several oilers
had been made for his services by
concerns which regarded him as a
good broker and skillful operator
in the stock marlet. One story
was to the effect that Mr. Green
would establish himself here as
the New York representative of
1). Armour, ol Chicago, with
whom he is said to be on the best
of terms. Another story was that
he would not be content to operate
as agent, but would begin business
on his own hook.
Of his career since he left New
York Mr. Green said little even to
his most intimate friends. Some
who had talks of a more or less
confidential nature w ith him said
that he had not been idle while in
Europe and San Francisco, but had
been doing considerable speculat
ing all the time he had been away
from Wall street. It is said that
ho would not make application for
reinstatement as a member of the
Uock Exchange.

Story.
Ni:w H.wkn, Conn., Aug. 20.
The mystery which has for two
years Furrounded the sudden dis
appearance of Charles Whaley, of
North Lynn, is believed to have
been cleared up.
Joshua Halford caught a picker
al in a hog pound in Lyme which
weighed between live and six
poinds. When preparing the fish
for cooking Halford found in i s
stomach agold watch and chain.
On the inside of the watch case
was engraved the name of Charles
Whaley. It was shown to peo
ple who knew Whaley and they at
once recogniz. d it its the time
piece he was accustomed to cany.
This proves that Whaley was
drowned.
On the morning of July .1, 18SH,
Whaley told the foreman of his
farm that he was going to Hartford
on a business trip, and would be
absent for several days. He was
never seen again. Whaley was a
bachelor and was reputed to be
worth $150,000. The general be
lief is that he committed suicide.
ILLEGAL. KLKCTIONS.
Nona That Will Hold for Two
l'eara,
Galveston, Tex., Aug. 2:.
Great excitement prevails in this
city, owing to the discovery that
the charter amendments govern
ing the election of city officers, as
passed by the legislature, are njt
according to law, and that every
election held in the state recently
is null and void. This opinion is
concurred in by the most eminent
lawyers in Galveston, and the ef
fect of the opinion has created
quite a panic among the munici
pal officers. At the October elec
tion the mayor and city council
and several subordinate officers
were balloted for, and the fortu
nate candidates took their places
and things raa smoothly until
this bombshell was exploded.

" the War. ii Ended. "."''..
New York: Aug. 20. Latest
dispatches confirm the news that
Balmaceda's power in Chili - if
broken. His army . has' -, beet
crushed after . five hours hard
ligbtiDcr and scattered bevond all
iioe of, rewrganitallors Toe rev
olutionists have taken' possession
of Valparaiso, with jlaliiiaceda
practically a fugitive without re
nmrces in men or money, with
the principal seap jrts in the hands
uf the congiessionalists. With
President-elect Vienna a refugee
on board a German man of war,
and the country flocking in mass
es to the standaid of of the in
vaders, it is a matter of only a few
days w hen the capital will fall into
the hands of the revolutionary
leaders. General Canto and his
army won yesterday's battle by
superior generalship and hard
fighting, assisted by good fortune
in killing oil Balmaceda's gener
als and the consequent demoraliz
ation of the army and desertion of
entire regiments. Furthermore
there has not' been harmony in
the military council of President
Balmaceda, as both Barbora and
Alezorreca wanted the supreme
command. This jealousy resulted
in an a'rnost op-Mi rupture, and
these ollicers worked at cross pur
ines. The battle commenced earlv
yesterday and raged fiercely. The
insurgent troops were on the hills
abn-e the race track at Vina del
Mar and held control of the rail
road. Balmaceda's troops moved
to dislodge tlieiit.
As soon as the appro iching col
umns got within range a destruc
tive fire was opened by the en
trenched revolutionists. The
government troops, however, ad
vanced steadily. They were soon
near enough lo return the lire, but
shot, shell, grape and cannister
tore thiotigh their ranks, until,
despite the elTorts of the officers,
they broke and retire !, almost in
a panic. As soon as they got out
side of the range of the deadly
tire, the officers worked like
beavers to reform their column.
and at last mieceeiL'd. Then
came another attack. In steadv
ranks the government troops
started on double-quick time up
into the torrents of lire and lead
which blazed from the insurgents'
ranks. General Barbora was
killed and the line wavered for an
instant but then went on. A short
distance further on, General
Alzerreca fell from his hoie
wounded unto death. Again the
line wavered and General Canto
gave the order to charge, with
a wild yell. The congressional
armv left their defences anu
charged on the now retieating
armv. The artillery poured a
leadlv fire into the ranks of Bal
maceda's troops. The loss of olli
cers had left the latter without a
head and all efforts of the subor
dinate officers to rally them were
of no avail. The retreat became a
rout and a panic and then utter
demoralization. The government
cavalry made a stand, but it was
short. 'i'liev were liteially cut to
pieces. Volley after volley was
poured into the demoralized mob.
The desertion of whole regiments
from Balmaceda's command to the
ranks of the insurgents is confirmed-
They were those, however,
who had been forced into the ser
vice, and took the first opportunity
to escape to the other side. By
advice the marines from I'uited
states v.. ir chins in the harbor of
Valparaiso were sent on shore to
protect the United States consul,
etc., rendering important service.
Balmaceda s whereabouts are
still unknown, but it is thought he
has made good ids e scape.

looked promising enough until

Idling on the pier, says the Chi

"See that farmer over there?"
said one of the sailors. "I'll bet
he never saw a yacht before. Let's
Uke tha jay out and have some

crew assented and the captain
c -.lied ojt: "Sav, farmer, wantto
go out for a ride?"
"Wal, I dunno. Ain't join' out

aboard, sat down ia the cockpit,
and looked cuilously around.
After beinr out for a short time

flying halyard and bringing it to
the deck made it fast with aa per

walked back to the cockpit and
sat down again.
After the siiuall had died down
and the excitement had subsided
the captain said to him : "You're
no farmer. You must have been
a sailor."
"Wal," said the farmer, "I was
