tho coiiHoi'vntlvo ministry must bo consor

inust, and probably ill, offer some hind
of a remedy, for thu country is at present
stirred from one end to the other as it
nover was before nnd tho whole people in

claimed that tho defendants wero not on

They simply belonged to nn organization
which was opposed to tho oxlstinj laws of

der of Ofllccr Dugnn, but tho throwing of
thu bomb was not contemplated by thom

It Its weokly report on tho condition of
the corn ol tho wost tho Cincinnati Price
Current says: "A portion of tho corn bolt
has hud beneficial rains tho past week, and
tho position of tho crop aa n whole is but
little if any Icbs promising than a week ago.
In soino of the northern counties of Ohio
tho crop Is qultobnekward, and 1.3s suffered
from dry wouthor; rains in various local!
ties have given relief during tho wook; other
portions ofthostato generally promising
well. Recent rains in Indiana have been
helpful, nnd although the average condition
of tho crop is not high, It Is little below an
average. In Illinois tho situation has not
Improved during tho week, oxcopting In lim
ited areas, and thegoncral position is poor,
indicating that an approach to an average
crop cannot be readied nailer any cireum
stances. In Iowa no important relief lias
been given by rains during tho wool;, al
though reported from various portions of
the state, nnd the general slluation Is much
less favorable than a week ago. Tho crop
cannot be considered as capable of exceed
ing three-fourths of an average production
or the state, anil without- an Imporlaul
innco in the near future thu outcome will
he oven less favorable. Sonio further rains
have fallen in Missouri, giving needed rulief,
ami a portion of thu statu will yield well,

greatly improved tlie condition oi corn,
and u fair yield is now expected In neon

B1IOT DEAD IX THE DARlC
Bloux City the Scene of a Cowardly Assas
sination. A cold blooded and cowardly assassination
occurred In Sioux City on the night of Aug.
3d, Iter. Geo. C. Haddock boinz tho victim,
About nine o'clock Mr. Ilnddock, accomnan
led by Rev. C. 0. Turner pastor of the "VVn t
field M. E. church, called at Morrill's liv:r
stable, on Water street, and got a horse an
buggy for the purpose of driving to Green
ville, just across tho Floyd, cast of the city
They were absent about an hour. At 10 o'clock
Mr. Haddock returned to the stable with th
horse and buggy, being alone at that time
I After delivering tho animal to the hos'ler.
j Tom Jams, Mr. Haddock started to go out
of tho stable, but noticing several men
standing on tho sidewalk opposite, he
turned and nsked Jarvls If "anybody was lay
ing for him," laughing pleasantly as he asl-
tho question. Jarvis replied that he knew of
no one who had any such Intention. At this
Mr. Haddock started, but over the crossing of
atcr street, on the south side of Fourth,
shot was heard and he dropped his cane, ami,
staggering fownrd In a direction slightly tout!
of cast, fell on the walk as above stated.
Jack Ityan, Superintendent of Markets, was
In the door of Dan O'Connell's saloon when
tho shot was fired nnd saw Haddock, who win
between himself and the gaslight nt tlie
Columbia house corner, stagger toward th
sidewalk. He at onco went to him nnd al
though the wounded man hrentbed at least
five minute after he fell he did not attempt to
speak. Hyan got some water and washed tho
blood from his face and was thcro when tho
crowd began to collect.
After tho shooting Officer Henry Hcltfelt
picked up a murderous looking hllley !r .ho
strcjt near where tlio sliojtlug occurcJ. It
Is made of tho wheel of a pulley, such as are
used In heavy barn doors, to which Is nt
t ached n stiff ropo handle. There Is no evi
dence that this wen o u was used, as the shot
did 1U work cITeetlvely and well.
From all appearance, tlio caso Is one of pre
meditate! murder, and the circumstances go
to show that tho parties were aware of the trip
taken by Mr. Ilnddock and armed and sta
tioned themselves in convenient positions to
attack him on his return.
An overflowing public meeting was held In
Sioux City to take action with refer
ence to tho murder of Mr. Haddock, speeches
were made by S. Lothrop, A. L. Hudson, E.
P. Hubbard, Geo. I). Perkins, John llreiinan
and others. Tho following resolutions fully

of
l'ower In tho Senate.
Washington dispntch: Senntor Millor
says that tho notion thut tho oleomnrgar
ino bill wns emasculated in tho senate or
mutcrinlly chnnged in nny way is untrue.
While tho farmers had fixed upon a 5 per
cent tax, and while ho worked to secure it,
still tho rate of tnx was not tho important
feature of tho bill. Tho ovil sought to bo
cured wns tho practice of putting on tho
market under tho guiso of butter a vm iety
ot frnudiilent imitations. Tho machinery
dovlsed to provent this, Senator Miller
says, is retained in all its vigor in tlie bill
as it becaino n lnw. Ono incident, but u
ery iniportnnt result of tho pnssago of tho
net, ho snys, will bo tho aid it will furnish
tho stato authorities to curry out then
own laws on tho subject. Heretofore, how-
over stringent thostatolaw may havobeon,
it hus been extroniely tlilllcult, olteu iiupos-
slble, to oxecuteit, by reason of thofnetthat
tho linltaticus ol butter miitlu in the neigh
boring states could come across thu bonier
unchallenged anil thoro was no way except
by chemical analysis, both cxponsivo and
slow, to dotect tho fraud.

Yonkers (N. Y.) dispntch: The sorrow
thnt hns shrouded the city for thrco dnys
renched n cllmnx to-dny. Grief wns mnrked
on overv linnd. Public buildings were
closed nnd bndges of mourning wero dis
plnyctl on houso fronts. Unrly trnins
poured hundreds of notnble citizens into
the town, nnd nil bent their steps in ono
direction to pny tho last honors to ono
who hnd been high ninong them. Ilesidcnts
joined in tlio pilgrimage nnd tho host of
mourners that found its wny to Greystono
filled to overflowing tho ample mansion of
the Into statesman, Samuel J. Tllden.
Long before the funeral service began the
casket that wns to contain Mr. Tilden's
body renched tlio house. It is mntloin two
pnrts; tlie interior is of copper, with
class door its entire length. Tho interior is
decorated with white tufted satin. The
outer part is of red Spanish cedar nnd is
nlaiiilv "rmmentcd with oxidized silver.
Tho pif-to Is of that material nnd bears
simply tho nnnio "Snniuel J. Tildcn."
At 8:110 the public wero first ntlniitted to
tho mansion, ino remains wero placed on
u cntnfnlfiuc situntod in tlio centre of tlio
bluo room. The drapery of the cutnfalque
was black crape and cashmere. Mcnntimo
friends of tho family began to arrive. The

The funeral train left Yonkers nt 11:15
At all the stations nloug the railroad
crowds assembled to witness ils pnssago
As tlio train drew nenr vnrious plncos tho
men raised their lints and remained uncov
ered until tho truin passed by tlio station.
At New Lebanon it wns heavily draped
It was precisely 3:45 p. m. when tho train
rolled up to tlio station. Nearly all tho
citizens turned out to pny hoinago to the
ilistineiiishetl dead. Around the station
tlie people gathered in largo numbers and
awaited with solemn demeanor the re
moval of the remains to the littlo Co ogre-
gatioiuilist church opposito tlm old Tilden
homestead. HiiHiness wns almost wholly
neglected. A deathlike stillness prevailed
while tlio bier was being carried to tlio plain
hearse in waitin?. Conveyances wero also
in waiting for relatives and friends. In a
Tew minutes after tlio arrival of tho body
tho cortege was on its way to the church.
At church tho Hov. Mr. IJurrell, tlio pastor,
nssistod by thu Hov. W. J. Tucker, ollieiuted.
Alter the services tho romuins were nllowed
to Ho in stnto for ono hour nnd
all wlio wished to view the remains wero
nllowed to tlo so. Fully 5,000 peoplo took
a last lotd: nt their distinguished fellow
citizen. Tho casket was then closed and
curried to tho hoarse, and tlie mournful
procession moved olf toward tho village
graveyard, about a quarter of a mile be
yond tho village. When tho procession
reached tlio grave it was just 5:40. Mem
bers of tho fnmily assembled at the head of
tho grave, and with tcnr-bcdiiumcd eyes
gazed upon tlio ensket, as tho ltcv. Mr.
Hurrell offered n prayer. Twenty minutes
later the casket was lowered into thograve.
The marble slab wns then placed over the
tomb anil the family sadly retraced their
steps. Tho villagers who had crowded
around tho grave then tlrow nearer, and
alter glancing at the pluce in which tho re
mains reposed, sorrowfully dispersed. This
ended thu sad rito over nil that was mortal
ol him whom Now York is proud to claim
as ono of tho most distinguished of hcrsous.

Iluffiilo (N. Y.) dispatch: Tho turbulent
waters of tho Niagara whirlpool rapids
wore again navigated in a cuskot to-dny,
tho perilous feat being successfully nccom
plishetl by two men. Tho daring voyagers
were William Potts nnd Georgo Ilnzlitt,
two coopers, who are omployed in tho same
shop with Gralinm, who niado tiio initial
trip threo weeks ago. The barrel-boat was
ten feet long, conical in form, built of tho
best locust staves anil was supplied with a
steel rudder, screw wiicel ami turret with
gla-s-covcred peepholes. About three hun
dred pounds of sand ballast kept it right

more turbulent wa'ers clinging to handles
mnde fast to (ho sides of tlie cask. Kncli
man likuwiso kept on his own sido of tlio
cask by means of n canvas sling mndu fast
to Btaples.
The start wns mnde from the Maid of the
Mist lauding on tho Canada side nt 4:25 p.
in. A rowbout towed tlio cask to n point
just abovo tho cnntilver bridge where it wns
turned ndritt in middle stream. The craft
was submerged about half tho tlmo while
passing through tho rnpids, but while cir
cumscribing the outer circle of tho whirl
pool its occupants thrust their bends
through tho opening and Potts calmly
smoked n cigar. A successful landing was
made at Queenslown, on thoCnnndiun sido,

A passenger on the train from Chihuahua

positively thut Gov. Mnceyra has ordered
the Paso del Norto authorities in enso of
