Tho September report of tho dopnrtmont of ngriculturo showed a bettor yield of pring wheat than was expected a mouth ago. There has been an improvement in tho northern bolt of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota. In Nebraska there has been a decline, and in Iowa but little change. Tho general avorago is 81, an increase of four points. Tho average yield of tho crops, so far as tho results of thieshlng aro reported, exceed olovon bushels, and may reach olovon and a half bushels por aero. Threshing of wintor wheat in tho Ohio val ley gives better returns than expected at harvest, and there is some Improvement in Missouri and Kansas. In the middle and eastern states tho percentages of July aro not materially changed. In tho south tho harvest was disappointing, and rains in jured tho product in shock. lioliirns indi cate an average yield of about twelve and it half bushels per acre. Tho entire wheat product will apparently exceed that of last year by 80,000,000 to (10,000,000 bushels. 'J'ho exact determination of the area har vested and the result of threshing are easily equivalent to a variation of at least li pur rent. Tho crop lias declined from HI In August to 77. In tho states of the prin cipal production tho status is as follows: Kentucky, from .87 in August to .00 in September; Ohio, .88 to 81); Michigan. .80 in northern returns; Indiana, .01 to .012; Illinois derliues from .77 to ,7iS; Missouri, from .75 to .02; Kansas, 715 to .112; No liraska, .70 to .08; Iowa. .71! to .117.

If Heporl are Correct He Will Probably Stay There. Ilaltlmoro special: Ilaltimoro was stirred to its very centro to day when tho Sunday papers reached thousands of families. They published tho biggoit sensation that Iiiih occurred hero for many a day. Harry IJottomor last Monday tiled a bill for di vorce from his wife, Mary A. llottomor, on tho ground of adultery. Mr. llotlouteris n well known shoo denier on Saratoga ntreot. His wife is the adopted daughter of Dr. Fsbbnck, Mr. and Mis. llottomor resided together until last Monday, on Colton Btreot. They wero married twelve years ago anil have live children. For tho past eight years Mr. and Mts. Ilottonter irn vu not. lived very happily together, on ill-count of the hitter's gay disposition, a year ago they had a serious quarrel, and tho husband sought the services of Hrother AxnritiH, president of the ttomiiu Catholic college at Hock Hill, as a mediator between him and bis wile. It appears that instond of endeavoring to heal tini broach between tho husband and wife, Hrother Aim ins assiduously made lovo to Mrs. llottomor. Mr. llottomor, two weeks ago, found a packet of about forty lotters from Hrother Arm ins ad dressed to Ills wife, couched in tho most endearing terms, Mrs. Ilottmner ns con fronted with these letters hridny, and con fitted that tho priest, on his second visit to her. kissed and hugged her. The letters wero filed In court to-day. Mrs. Ilottonter is a handsome brunette about ,10 yours of age. Hrother Acnrimi lias an universal reputation forgreat learn ing mid teal in tho rausoof religion. Tho VDvervnd gentleman is nt present In Kuropo on a special mission. IXDIAXS OX TUN JfOI-R Albuqueiqiio (N M.) special: dim. Miles nrilved hero this evening to meet -lOOChlri-cahiiii and Warm Spring Indians who will nrrivo hore to-morrow on their way to Ft. Marion, Fla., via St. Louis. They com Ioho tho war element of tho Apaches and their removal rids tho southwest ol all tho Indian troubles. Gen. Miles contradicts tho statement made by tho Army and Navy Journal, that the Chlrlcahuii and Warm Spring Indians were never disarmed and wer not prison in of war. These Indians wore placed on the reservation contrary to tho wish of tho inter or department, and it is well known that their removal will aid the work of Gen, Milee, who hits been perfecting ar Taiiinents for Ave months, ugulust much opposition. bruised There aro various causes given for tho fatal wreck. Knginoer William Harris of tile freight train is blamed. It is said that he had orders to meet the excursion at Irving. Ho failed to obey the instructions and was running at full speed when the collision occnried. The train men will not talk regarding wlto is to lihime. A gentlo man who was on tho excursion train says that the freight train had orders to go to Silver Creek and tho passonger t rain to Irving, which is this side, and it was theso orders that caused tho collision. The accident happened at Silver Creek, a small station junt oast of Dunkirk. Here the engineer received orders to run ahead regardless of the local freight, No. tl, which tlio older stated would side track for him below the station. Ho ai conlingly pulled out his train of eleven cam. loaded to tho fullest capacity, ami had nroreeded im hu lls the curve, it few miles below tho station, when he saw smoke floating over the hill top annual which Hie curve went. Tim! locomotive sounded warning whistles, but it was too latofor the local height, running twenty miles an hour to make the Silver Cteek side track, and it collided with the pnsHong.'r train, causing one of thu worst accideiitH ever known on thoshoioof Lake Kilo since the Ashtabula disaster. As soon as the engines eamo into col lision the shock lifted tho bnggngo car of tho excursion tialu front its trucks and drove it backward Into tho smoker, filled with passengers. Starling in at tho for ward end of the curit literally mowed down the seats and crushed tho occupants or ground them into an unrecognizable mass upon the lloor. Out of the lit rty-llve oc cupants of llio ear but two escaped with nbglit injuries. At tint wreck tho sight was horrible. The smoker had been buist by the telescoping, and from tho cracks in the comers and seats on the lloor oozed blood in streams, making large pools upon the ground. One boy about IS years of age war caught be tween the telescoping cars and the window casing, ins body half projecting out into the nil-through the window. His legs wero crushed to a jelly between the cars, and he called piteoitsly on the bystanders to put him out of his misery. From all parts of the car came the moans of tho dying and injured. Theiiijiited wero at once taken to Krio in the hospital car and ate being treated at the St. Vincent hospital in that rity. Over two-thirds of tho injured will die. The responsibility of the accident is hard to place. Kugincor 'Irewer has disap peared. His firemen cli-ius that he had or ders to run to SllverCreek regardless of the local freight, wliilotlie engineer ot the freight exhibits ordets entitling him to the right of way as far its the side trai l; west of the station. Tito agent at Silver Creek says that ho knows nothing of any order enti tling the imssongor tram to run by Silver Cieek. The accident is one of the duost misfortunes that has over visited Krio and the town is clothed in mourning. A VKCV1AAU AXD fUZXI.IXO CASK Tliut Is Occupying Hit Attention of a Cin cinnati Court. Cincinnati special: JitdgoCounor's court room was crowded this morning by law yers, reporters and spectators, all drawn together to hear the strange and sensa tional testimony in tho McCoy hnbonn corpitH ciiso. Mrs, McCoy and Miss (Jalhtg her each claimed to b tho mother of a little three year old girl now held at tho houso of refuge. Kato Hand was put upon the stand and stated that a quarrel had once existed between Mrs. McCoy and the hitter's sister-in-law, Mrs. Thornton, who testified against her yesterdny. Mrs. Mc Coy had accused Mrs. Thornton, during this quarrel, of having stolen her family bilile, but the witness claimed that the charge was wrong, Miss (iullughor having louitit II in tier loom after Mrs. McCoy moved out of tho adjacent apartments. Miss (ialhtgher afterward showed the bible to Miss Hand, calling her attention to the one birth rerouted to Mrs. McCoy, which was of a still-born child. A pause here 'ook lilac in the testimony dining which Judge Connor closely scanned a mi in her of photographs of Mrs. McCoy's deceased husband, taking alternate glances at tho disputed child to see if lie could de tect anv latnily resemblance. During thU proceeding the judge drew the l.ttlo girl close to his side while the spectators and remitters crowded around to sew for them selves whether any similarity could bo traced. If there Is any tt Is very faint, and tho judge apparently got very little satis faction from the photographs. Attorneys for Mrs. McCoy placed heron the stand in lehiittnl against thoduinug ing testimony of yesterday. She made a goneial denial nl the opposing statements concerning her, declaring also that sho had never ailinitteti to any one that Miss (liil lughcr was the mother of tho child, or that the had ever nskod to intercede with the latter to retain possesion ot It. Xothtng Exceptionally Had in It Condi Hon -In Interesting Statement, London special: Tho Irish Loyal and Patriotic Union has issued a pamphlet for the use of tho press and members of tho house of commons, and which tliev are cir culating widely throughout tho kingdom snowing tho status of the Irish tenant from the landlord's point of view. Tho following portion of tho pamphlet is fur nished by tho union for circulation in Am enen: ilio status or tho American tenant farmer within tho past sixteen years has undergone marked amelioration, owing to the enactment of various remedies. There has certainly been a fall in prices, but everything considered thero is nothing ex ceplionally bad in tt e condition of ngricul turo in Ireland. Tin- Irish tenant farmers Have greater advantages in tho respect of icntiru than tho farmers elsewhere, and with the improved methods there is reason to look to tho fill nro witlt confidence. Tho figures show that full ad vantago has been tiiKcn or tho right to sell interests in the holders. Laying asido all rhetorical bosh, it is n cessnry to state tho actual facts concern ingovictlons by tho hind n t of 1881. A tenant cannot possibly bo evicted unless lie fails to pay his rent or refuses to com ply with certain statutory conditions, not forming imaginary grievances. Kjcctment loriioii-pnymeni ol rcnleaniiot lie brought for less than a year's f'nt actually due, and should ejectment be brought the ten ant, may ledeem at any timo within sir months after its execution, or may, within tho same period, sells his tenancy for t lie execution of the ejection of anybody who wiflhrs to purchase ami who hits the privil ege of rdeoming. Resides this, the tenant has iniiiiy advantages, and therefore evic tions are both dangerous mid costly to tho landlord and nio only practiced in exttcioo cases. should a year s rent fall duo in Sept-mber, October or November, the land lord cannot get a decree until the January session and six months mure must clupso befoio be can obtain possession of the land. Tin.' landlord is then liable to tho tenant for the ciops thereon, so that nearly two years must ellipse before he can fully re cover t he tenancy. In LS.SI tho Irish holdings numbered 50,-fiL'-l and the niimberof evictions during tho lirst six months of 18.80 was only L',007, a largo innjoiity of these being for more than n year's arrearage of lent. Caiefully pre pared returns show only 800 cases of abso lute removal, ninny of the tenants evicted having boon i eiiilnnt led to their holdings. Indeed, many of tho 8(10 were reinstated as euro takers (an additional impot tnnt tael) hy the county courts. The rules in all the cases of ejectment nro such that tho county judge is nblo to grant such stay of execution as under the circumstances lie considers reasonable: a similar course being frequently taken in the superior courts. Kegai'iling the money suhsriihed for the purpose of fomenting and keeping alive tho agiiaiion, u is needless to remind the pub lic that the uationali-ts boast that even the poorest and most needy of the Irish people have shown IheirH.vmpatliy with tho agitation by tho extent and conti'nunuco of their contributions. It is needless here to tnqiliie into the truth about the matter ol how much compulsion is necessary in ob taining money. All that is required iH that the haul, stern fin t should bo noted care fully, that the hind league was started in 1870 with the avowed objoet of assisting their Irish tenants. Tho lirst practical move was tocommencodrawing a subscrip tion from these tenants. The following figures from Piirnellitepriutsliow that from October, 1870, until tho government sup pressed it in October, 1SS1, the laud league received hy subscription in (Jreat Hrituin and Ireland 17,801. During the same pet iod the fair trial fund received 1.02-1, ami the relief oldish-ess fund 012. From all sources, ami largely from America, tho hist mimed fund received 00, (.72, 10,000 of which wasdovoted to tho l'arnellito poli tical fluid and of which there is still a bal ance of ;t,(15S entirely unaccounted for. Finally tho amount subscribed to the present moment to the Iiish patty fund is (!." 720. Summing up Ireland's tribute in hurd cash to tho Parnellite exchequer, of whirh the Irish in (it-eat Hrituin subscribed something, though the amount is as inap preciable, since t ho founding of tho land league in October. 1870. to the present time amount to .'1,007, 1 0 I, or 7."i2,0()0 per annum. It is dilliciilt in the face of the savings bank returns to contend that the Irish people aro now in imminent financial danger. As a matter of (act this is a larger re serve o money standing to the credit ol the Irish tenants than there has been in any pre.-edlng year. The grow tit in (his re spect has been continuous. In 1810 tho savings haul, report showed deposits of I,2()(i.0()(. In lsSo they reported de posits or I. .tut), 1100. These are tho popu hit-banks w ith the poorer class of depos itots. and alongside of the repeated asser tions of tho poverty stricken condition of the liii.lt people, and (heir inability to pay rent, it is interest tag to notice that while tbe ependituri or intoxrcaiits have fallen off greatly in (ilea t Hiitain in recent years, it nas proimiuv increased, taking into nc count tho diminished population. The consumption of beer and spiiits in Ireland in ifiiso showed an aggregate increase ol .11 1, .18 I; while if 18M wero compared with 1S81 the iitcreiiae would reach the enormous total of 7.ro,000. Finally, on I he authority ot the N'orlh Hiitish Agricul tural (Jaiette, in Kuglund rents were raised 2!l percent between lSlOand 1SS0, In Wales III percent, and in S.-otlaud -10 per cent; while in Ireland they hud decreased within that period and wero further cut down by the act of 1881.

Members of the American Agricultural and Dairy association met in Philadelphia on the 15th in their seventh nnnual con vention. After a few preliminaries James II. Renll opened theronvention with a long speech. Hcstated that the con volition a-ub called to celebrate the most itnportnnt vie lory ever won for agriculture the pnss ago of tho oleomargarine law; to take ac tion toward restraining and increasing tlio strength of the ngt ictilturnl interests iu con gross and instate legislatures, and to (lis cuss th ""."ral interests of the farmers for tho purioso of nil pting ineitMires to pro tect and ndvnnco them. All assoc'inling conventions, ho said, had been attended by representative men in agricultural and kin dred pursuits and they had been represen tative in character. The speaker then re viewed at length the work or tho associa tion since its orgnniz tion.nnd pointed out tho benefits accruing to tho agricultural in terests from tho agitations set on foot by its members. Referring to tlio oleomar garine bill he said : It was the first contest for national legis lation made in tile history of the country by the farmers and they were victorious; for it wns they who fought and won the bat tle. It was not monoy: it was not argu ment; it was not party politics. It wns the irresistible power of the organized army of farmers, marshalled up to thedoors ol con gress, that secured tlio law; it wns Tiie ex pression of their will by letters, petitions, and personal interviews that beat down the walls ot prejudice, torccd a practicnoie, sensible nnd useful interpretation of tlio constitution and oveicame tho power of the millions arrayed against them. He urged us hearers to foster nnd en courage the dairymen ny every means in their power, and declared that they wero much indebted to tlio grangers of the coun try for the victory gained in securing tlie passage of tho bill taxing adulterated anil counterfeit butter. The approval of tho hill by the president, he said, was prompted by an earnest desire to servo the best iu- tetests of the farmers. J lir speaKer re turned Ips sincere tlianks for the generous and unfailing support that had been ex tended by the dairy farmers and produce merchants iu the recent campaign against bogus butter. Referring to tariff laws, Ilea II declared that it was to the interest of nil farniois toseo that they were directed toward the advancement and protection of American industry, and so framed as to give the fanners the best home maikets for their produce. Then t ere would be just enough protection and a similar amount of free trade. Continuing, he said that im migration should bo regulated and confined to an acceptable class pledged to become citizens; that tho hind laws should be re vised, and sales in large bodies to aliens prohibited; that n reasonable and practi cal regulation of intor-state commerce was necessary, and that the Culloni bill for the establishment ot a national railroad com mission, now pending in congress, would seem biitlicient to accomplish this purpose In conclusion, tho speaker urged the farmer and every man interested iu the agricul tural interests of the country to seo that his vote was cast this fall, regardless ol party, for the members of congress who voted for the oleomargarine bill, and in rnso they were defeated for lenoinination, to s-lect tho best ol the two candidates in (ho field. A majority ot the national congress, he added, "and a (rue friend in the execu tivo chair, are with us, and let us be sure we keep both there."

Renll, Kso., President, Ktc: Dear Sir Your letter of the 3d instant, supplement ing our interview, and containing mi invi tation to attend tho national convention of the American Agricultural ami Dairy association, is received. I should be glad to accept the kind invitntion tendered and avail myself of the opportunity mo con vention will afford to meet the rcprcseuta- fives of an interest so important ami vol liable as tliat which the fanners and agri culturalists of tho country have in charge. Tlio relation of this interest to the wellaro and prosperity of our land is so hit iinate. mill us jiropor ami legmiuaie rare ami protoctlo i is, iu my opinion, a patriotic duty. Tho consideration elevates the MMin.dbilit v of those in anv wise intrusted with our farmingiudtihtry beyond'the plane ol mere selfishness and should induce con servatism and moderation. Demands mndo in sucli a spirit cannot fail to exact a just and appreciative response from those who make and execute our Inns. I hope t hat tho coming convention may lie productive of the best tosiilts to tho agriculturalists as well as to all the peoplo or our country, and though tlio plans al ready made and engagements nlreadv agreed upon will prevent my accepting your invitation to Vie present, I shall bo much interested in its objects and pur poses. Yours sincerely, .Cnuirnii Cleveland. IF7M Treat Villi Employe Individually, but Xot With Outside Societies. Boston special: Last spring, through tho intervention of tho Knights of La bor, a new and elaborate schedulo of priceg and code of rules to bo in force in the tan neries ol New Kngland wns adopted, to re main in force until the first of October. The manufacturers have lound themselves heavily burdened by this agreement, and while they will stand by it according to their promise, they declare Hint after ite expiration they will have no further deal ing with the Knights. A meeting of leather manufacturers was held in tho board ol trade rooms at Woburn this afternoon, nt which about So per cent of the Hi ins wore icpr. Rented. One of the mnnngCM said: "Leather is being plnced on the market to day at a loss, under the schedule ndoptcd InBt April witli the Knights of Labor. My firm entered into an agreement in good faith, nnd we propose to keep it until the 30th of this month, but the fnct is we have been obliged to pny out between $800 nnd $1,000 more under the present prices than we did undcrthe old system. Thnt money is sunk. We have not been able to com pete w ith outside labor, and now all that remains for us to do is to closo our fac tor. es until we are allowed to run our own business and not be dictated to by outside pnrtics. I ho fact is the men are getting tins in crease of wages and do about 10 per cent less work than before by killing time. Wo do not control our shops for there is a power greater than wo within that body known as the Knights of Labor. Wo aro prepared and stand ready to talk with tlio men, but wo will not trade with that organ ization any more. We are dono with that business for good." The meeting lasted about two hours anil a half, and it is said to ha vebeon quite har monious. Uuo lentner manuractiirer said : We have had enough of this dictation busi ness, and now we propose either to run our own business or close up when tlio lima shall have come, unless tho men will come to us and bo treated as individuals." Another manufacturer said that while the leather men had no desire to precipi tato a crisis at the present time, yet they intended to bo prepared for any emergency that might arise. A prominent Knight ot Labor said it was understood hist spring: when the inauiilactiirers signed the agree ment, that although it proposed to run un til tho 1st day of October, still it was togo. on indefinitely. It seems by this, lie said, t ho mnnufncturcis do not no understand the matter, and will not listen to anything ol that nature. 'II the men wish." said a largo manufac turer, "to work, and will como to us indi vidually, and not as members of that or ganization, we slia.l bo glad to meet them. but alter nearly six months' dealing with that organization we do not propose to bo dictated to any longer by thorn." Another meeting: of the leather men will bo held this week. Unless tho matter is set tled before October 1, some 12,000 men, will bo throw u out. HAD MAX WITH A 111 EI. E.
