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

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.

Men In Convention Assembled.
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,

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.

London special: Iu tho house ol com
mons this evening Mr. J. J. Chinry (Par
nellite). for Dublin county, charged the
government with a failure to pay even tho
slightest attention to the Irish members
when urging the application of remedies for
the local grievances of the Irish people.
Lord Churchill declared the accusation
to be wholly without foundation. Tlio
government, ho said, was eager to remedy
any reasonable grievance, nnd for that
purpose intended to develop tho formn
t on of a local government board of public
wards in Ireland, in accordance, if possible,
with the views of the Irish members, and
to make tho proposals at the earliest nog.
sible moment for placing all questions, com
ing under the purpose of the local govern
ment board ami the hoard of public wards
in the bauds of tlio Irish. It was only fair
therefore tor the Iiish members to give the
government time fortlteincubation of these
projects, instead ol protracticg the hi, si.

and constant repetition by overv imag
