Samplers Find the '81 llatana of u High
Htandard The Condition of the Grewing
Creps Departs from Distant Dealers
nml Growers of tlie Weed.
1'Vetn the present outlook the tobacco trade
senilis te be inore faverable than It has been
for n conslderablo w hile, for two reasens : the
stock In packers' hands Is llghter than It has
been for years and in manufacturers hands It
is the same. The crop el last year is vTry
much smaller than was anticipated. Thore
Is scarcely a packer In this county who has as
much ns he expected te have, nml noneof
thorn have as much by odds ns they had ene
year age. Of old leaf thore Is scarcely any
uuv si," most ei wuicli is or tlie besl of that
crop ; nearly nil low grades have bcen sold
out.
Kevcral or our largest packers have sold a
large proportion or thelr'81; iufactsome
have sold all, whlle for ethers geed odors
have been refuscd. Frem whet has been
sampled nnd examined of the Havana, by
packers, It Is found te be fully up to'thelr
most Bangui no expectations. What seed lear
thore is has turned out very geed. Taken
upon tlie whole, as we said bofero, packers
are happier than tliey have been for years,
nnd feel as though thelr luck Is upon the
turning point, for It Is a well known fact that
there has been llttlomenoy in tlie business
te tliem for the last fouryears.
Several hundred coses of tobacco wero sold
during the last woek, about ene hair of which
was "81" Iavnna,nnd mere could have been
sold but for the asking prlce. Heme new
seed leaf has also bceu taken.
The growing crop needs n geed soaking
rain badly, although August is the month te
mnke a crop If It can held Its own until then:
It Is scarcely doing se new. Havana secd will
net stand dry weather ns well as will the
seed leaf.
Krem nn oxteiulcd trip through Iho lower
end of this county nnd ever in Chester, we
lind thoncreago will net be ever twe-thiids
as large as last year's, and of the whole plant
ing thrco-leurlhs Is Havana soed. We notice
that Reveinl farmers who liave horetofbro
been large growers have given It up entirely,
and some have very much reduced tlieir
quantities ever in Chester.
ae lar as can be seen rrem tliecar windows,
along the l'ennsylvanla railroad from Lan
caster te Middlntewn, the planting appears
tobeaboutoqual te that of laht year. The
plants that wero set early leek well, and are
growing llnely, especially along the rler
branch el the read. Tlie late set plants are
very small and need rain badly.
New Yerk Market.
Frem the U. S. Tobacco Jeurnnl.
Seed leaf tobacco Is moving. Old stock
soils, If ellbred very low. New stock of the
favorlte crops attract buyers If it Is 'geed and
runs In ilgures from 10 te 21 cents ; excep
tionally flne goods In Wisconsin are quoted
still hlgher by sellers. New Housatenlo to
baccos are much bragged about, holders
deeming allusions te prices below cents an
unpardenable ploce of Impertinence.
Most quotations in the markets are hum
bugs. Te get at ready facts oue will have
te de dotectlvo duty and get possession of
people's ledgers and cash books nete books
net excluded. Sellers relying upon market
quotations nre relying en lles. The only way
sellers can pest themsolves Is by taking the
tenor of the inarket into consideration. Ha
man has bought geed tobaccos at as low or as
high n figure as ethers, he noed net sell them
new at a less; if he can get n profit, let him
soil them new at a less ; if be can get n pro pre
tit, let him sell ; don't wait for any rise. It
Is tlme enough te think of selling at a less if
tlie tobacco deterlorntes. If the Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania and Connecticut tobaccos re
tain their present geed qualities, conserva
tive packers will make seme prellt. If the
goods deteriorate the losses will be heavy.

Onerrl' Murder of lll Mepdaughtcr, and Hew
the Court Vlcnit It.
Achilles Onerrl, who was convicted ou May
29 or murder in the llrst degrce In Philadel
phia, has been gnntcd a new trial. Judge
Mitchell, In Ihtts disposing of the motion of
the prisoner's counsel, said :
" The circumstances of this murder led lliu
mind strongly toward alian-h jiidgmeut net
only of tlie prisoner's act but el his Intent 11
is, therefore, ene er.i class or cases in w hich,
abeve all ethers, it is tlieduty oTtlie Judgote
see that the administration of justice shall lie
calm mid dispassionate, and that theciimlital
shall receive net vengeance from natural hor
ror and Indignation but the punishment duly
appointed by law for his erliiie. After the
latwe el sufficient tlme for all merely transient
impressions formed at the trial te pass away,
I have given the entire evidence n careful re
view, and am brought again te my original
Judgment that this conviction coiinet stand.
The circumstances or the killing were
undisputed. The child rel'used te perform
her dally lessen in rope-walklng, and the
prisoner, bclievlngher refusal te be porvcrse,
first whipped her with a leather strap, then
with a knotted repe, and she still ienising te
yield, he lest his temper, seized a shovel
und Indicted the blows which caused
her death. The conviction of murder
ratber than manslaughter rests upon
the use of the shovel, nml is net ejwu te ob
jection. The use or an instrument likely te
cause death is sufficient ovldence of the
malicious Intent te kill which constitutes
murder. Hut the law or Pennsylvania limits
murder of the first degroe te cases et (eeii
bcrale and premeditated lillxng), and the
supreme court has decided that the
presumption from tlie use of a deadly
weapon rises no hlgher than inurder in
the second degree, and that te supert
n finding of murder in the llrst degree
thore must be distinct proof or facts sufficient
te ralse the presumption. Thore Is no sucli
proer in this case. On the contrary, all the
circumstances tend te show the absence or
deliberation nnd premeditation. White,
therefore, the punishment of death Is net
groaler than the atrocious cruelty or the pris
oner's act doserves, and net. greater than the
legislature would probably Imjtose if such
cases were unhappily treqiient enough te
call for a apocifle remedy, yet the law Is net
se written, and te permlt it te be se adminis
tered would be te substitute vengeance for
justlce under the law. The verdlct is set
aslde and a new trial granted."

A brisk looking young man was semi this

"What's up?" asked an Intklmiiencuii

"Only seme baby Insurance builness" was
the reply.
H may be a Htlle surprising te seme resi

HOW IT OItI(II.VATi:i).
This system Is nn outgrowth of the Indus
trial schome of lnsiirance that originated In
Louden about forty years age, and hi which
the chlef success has been attained by the
Prudential company or that city. This com cem
rany paid out lust year eyer f.r,000,000 hi
