Washington, Oct. 12. —The Octobei

ment of Agriculture shows the average
condition of corn on Oct. 1 to have

completion.

The condition of tobacco shows a de-
cline of 5.2 points during September.

provement of 3 and 11 points respec-
tively, while Virginia shows a decline
of 2 points, North Carolina, 4; Tennes-
see, 11; Kentucky, 10; Ohio, 2; Indiana,

it is 9 and 5 points respectively, and in
Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska it is 6, 2

BAD JERSEY CHURCHMAN.

 

J. J. Kents, Pronlinent in Religious
Circles, Accused of Enibezzlelnent.

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 12.—Religious and
Grand Army circles are deeply stirred
over the sudden and unexpected disap-
pearance of John J. Kents, who for
years has been doing an apparently
prosperous real estate and insurance
business in this city.

Kents lived in good style on one of
the principal streets in the city, took
a. leading part in all Grand Army mat-
ters, and was an active member of the
First Methodist Church.

Kents, in his capacity as pension
agent, secured a pension for Mrs.
Koenig of $1,500. He borrowed $600
from her. She finally wrote to Wilkes
Post, and Capt, E. C. Stahl succeeded
in getting $200 for her in cash and a
series of notes.

These were for $25 each. Three of
these Kents paid off; the fourth one
falls due on Oct. 21.

Mrs. Koenig said that when Kents
owed $500 he wanted to compromise for
83,00 but she would not consent.

Kents’ family deny that they know
anything of his whereabouts. Detec-
tives are trying to locate him.

Merchants of Dalton, (3111., Indicted
for Collusion with Robbers.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 12.—Several
vvell- known me1chants of Dalton, Ga..
have been indicted by the Grand Jury
on the charge of receiving stolen
goods. The indictment is a sequel to
the recent discovery of a gang of
thieves who for twelve years have
robbed the Southern Railroad at Dal—
ton. A coaling station where all
freight trains stop was the place the
robbers entered the cars while the
trainmen were assisting in taking on
coal. Their custom was to throw
freight, such as they wanted, general-
ly coffee, tobacco, clothing or shoes,
out of the cars before reaching Dalton.
This was gathered up by members of
the gang, and stored in their houses or
barns until a convenient time for sell-
ing. For years the efforts of the road
to run down the gang were futile.
During this time it is estimated that
they stole goods worth $100,000.

A few days ago the gang was caught
by special detectives. The parties
who were indicted for receiving the
goods of the thieves are all leading
merchants of Dalton, two being mem-
bers of the towncouncil.

MRS. ATKINSON’STRIAL.

Rotating the Charge that She Signed
\Vithout Husband's Knowledge.

Wheeling, W. Va, Oct. 12.—It was
quite late yesterday before the trial of
the case of Mrs. Atkinson, wife of Gov.

W. Atkinson, indicted for forging
the name of her former husband. the
late Judge G. D. Camden, was resumed.
The testimony taken yesterday after-
noon tended to refute the allegation of
the prosecution that Mrs. Atkinson
signed papers without her husband's
.knowledge. It also indicated that there
was no effort on the part of Mrs. At-
kinson to give H. D. Heator receipts
for money he never had. .

The statement that Mrs. Atkinson
will refuse to accept pardon at the
hands of her husband in case of con-
viction is denied by all parties con-
nected-with the case. A yerdict .is not
expected before to—morrow.

Who died apparently pennile'ss or. Apxil

revealed over $61, 000 scattered about
in odd places. Of this sum $24 000 is in
cash. Bills of all denominations were
found in an old bustle. The rest of
the $61,000 is in United States bonds:

COL. WARING DECLINES.

 

Will Not. Accept the George Nomination
for Comptroller.

New York, Oct. 12.—Col. Waring was
notified yesterday morning by the
George men that he had been nomi-
nated for Comptroller by the Democ-
racy of Thomas Jefferson. The notifi-
cation was made at the Department of
Street Cleaning shortly after Col. War-
ing came down to his office.

When asked by the reporters to—day
if he would say whether he would ac-
c-. pt 01' decline it, Col. Waring said:

I have nothing to say at present. I
thought I might be able to give my de-
cider. to—day. Now it will be impossi-
ble. I should like, however, to correct
.111 evident misapprehension. I had no

0'“ ledge of this movement looking to
11: 3' nomination until the whole scheme
- .11 gotten beyond recall.”

'.cter however, it was learned that
-'ci. \\ ai'ing will not accept the nomi-

'.tion. The' Colonel will write a let-
saying, in the friendliest terms,

.i.:-.t le_ cannot see his way clear to
.'.cccpt. C01. Waring came to this con-
clusion when it was made clear to him
that Charles S. Fairchild, the candi-
ca- :e for Comptroller of the Citizens'
Union, will not retire. Col. W'aring,
his friends ,say, desired to accept the

~e~orge nomination, but he also de-
siied an indorsement by the Citizens'
Union.

CONNECTICUT MAY TAX WHEELS.

Assessors in Doubt \Vhetlaer to List
Them Among the Vehicles.

Stamford, Ct., Oct. 12.—The new

Board of Assessors in Connecticut are .

organizing to make out the lists of
property liable to taxation, and the
members are giving the proposal to tax
bicycles a good deal of thought. Under
the taxation laws of the State every
vehicle valued at more than $25 must
be taxed, but bicycles have never paid
taxes. Last year several of the leading
lawyers of the State who ride bicycles
voluntarily included their bicycles in
their lists, but the assessors struck the
Wheels off.

The wheelmen are now clamorous for
better roads, and thousands of dollars
have been spent on the highways be-
cause of their importunity. There
seems to be a desire on the part of
many that a special tax of $1 on each
Wheel shall be laid, the revenue to be
spent in improving the roads. This
plan would result in bringing in up-
ward of $200,000, which, if spent on the
country roads, would make a-vast im-
provement in a few years.
men as a body, however, are opposed
to the tax.

Employcs Want an Injunction.

Chicago, Oct.’ 12.—The Street Car
Men‘s Union applied to-day for an in-'
junction against the Chicago City Rail-
way Company. Ex-Judge Ambrose
[tied a bill which says that employees
.mre discharged by the company be-
cause they were members of the union.
The bill declares this to be contrary to
law, and an order is asked restraining
the company and its agents from dis-
charging men for the reasons set forth.

Action on the part of the union was
hastened when the Executiye Commit-
tee learned that officials of the com-
pany were notifying the men to cease
paying dues to the union.
