The hay crop was immense, though some of it was in jured by rain. The bulk, however, was put away In geed condition. The wheat crop was geed, and threshers report from 20 te 30 bushels per acre. On his neighbor's farm the yield whs 1,000 bushels en 40 acres. Of the yield of eats he had no report, but the 'jirep looked premising In the field. Cern leeks premising en uplands; net se geed en low flat land, which wa tee wet. Potatoes are a large crop, but thore are indications of ret, and if w ct weather con tinues the crop may be lest. Tobacco, lllce corn, is best en upland ; en some flats the crop is nearly ruined. He was sorry he could net say much geed about fruit. There was plenty of it, but it is no geed. The apples fall and ret before they are ripe. The foliage of the pear trees is rusted, and the fruit Is cracking and will net ri)cn. Peaches en young trees are plenty, but they loe are affected by the weather. Grapes are poeror than he ever saw them. They received their first injury In the gieat rain storm when tliey were in. bloom. When the bloom vvns ever the fruit was se poorly het that bagging seemed of no account, and sinee . many of the beriles became black spotted and are totting. Calvin Cooper reported i ust-In sonic to bacco. Of fruit, applas are aflected, and are dropping prcmatuicly ; pears are cracked ; corn has been iujuted by ex cessive rains j the grass crop was abundant, fine in quantity, but the quality wits net se geed. Stock docs net thrive en it ; grapes are ruined. M. 1). Kcndlg said the fruit (Mop in his section was the same ns already reported ; there are no apples worth speaking about ? there arc a few varieties of jvears that are geed, but nearly all are diepping oft'; the corn crop leeks encouraging, the ears be ing fu'l ; tobacco is premising, except in soma sections; the early, tobacco leeks well; thciolsne rust In his immediate neighborhood ; wheat is a geed uvcrage as te quantity, but net se geed In quality as last year; the grains uie stunted and meuldy; hay is abundant, but quality net geed ; potatoes are retting. Jeseph 1 Witmcr reported corn and to bacco premising. In his neighborhood there is seme llttle rust ; the grupe crop in his section is all light ; tlieie will be u geed crop of potatoes; apples are falling; grain is net as geed in quality us it ought te be. Mr. Huckw alter, of Salisbury, reported tlie wheat nep us yielding from '20 te 30 bushels te the acre, but the quality was In ferior; coin leeks premising, but an cxuiii cxuiii inatieu of tlie fields shows that net one half the stalks have ears en ; potatoes will he flue and but low apples; worms have destroyed the grupe follage and w ill no doubt also destroy tlie fiuit; tobacco is fesy and rusted and In Salisbury town ship there, w ill net lie half a crop of tobacco. We T. UI.uk, reported the eats in Dru Dru mere as net in geed condition and the corn w oil eared and premising ; tobacco leeks well ; apples me n failure. Fphrulm Hoever reported the tobacco in Mnnhciin township as premising; here and there lust may be scen In a field; ifthcie is net mero sunshlne in August than there was in July the tobacco will turn foxy wheat leeks geed, eats is net geed as last year, the gnus fields leek well and fruit is only ordinary. Henry M. Fugle said the com crop is net what the papers report. It needs moie sun shine; the cars are net full. The potato crop is premising, but thore arc indications of ret ; if the weather In the month of August is us it was, in July the crop rciierts in September w ill net be favorable. Fruit is dropping. Tobacco leeks w ell, but there are indications of rust, Tlie eats crop was a heavy ene, but a portion w as lest by the continued bud w catlicr. Wheat was a full average. H. R. Fulton, who made an extensile trip through Virginia, made an interesting address en w hat he saw in the Old Domin ion, among the fanners. a aiimi;us' iMir;imi.. Mr. Cooper stated the Fulton Furiners' club and Orange Ne bO, Patrons of Hus bandry, intended te held u harvest home en .September nth nnd 0th, at !latk Barren Spring'-, and it was profited te held a fariueis' iuMitute ut the Mine time, pio pie vidlngthls society would agree te divide the state appropriation of $150, provided for fariueis' institutes, with them. Aftci a dis cussion of the matter and an upjical by James Black, who elutcd out tlie gicat geed Unit would he accomplished, a resolu tion was adopted te di Ide the state appro priation w ith the Kulton Farmers' club. Messrs. Henry M. Kngle, Calvin Cooper and Win. il. Dresius were appointed us a committee te confer with Fulton Fanners' club us te the arrangement of the pro pre gramme. A communication sent te the secretary, asking the society te discuss forest plant ing and its relation te the rainfall, was laid en the table. The author neglected te sign his name, and the society decided that it had no linie te consider anonymous eou eeu eou tiibutleiis, Mr. latudis read the fellow lng papers en important Uw s passed by the last Ia-glslu-luie: i in: i-knci; i,w or 1700. Thcielh meiiiu misunderstanding about the ivvciil legislation relative te Inning. I'pte within a few mouths age we were under the opeiutioii of the old fem eluw of 1700. Till law eui lust I.egislatUKi ie pealed. The dlttercuce between the law befere Ite repeal and ..lncu itsreieal is this : Under the uct of 1700 evny landowner was compelled te feme his neighbors' cattle out; new every land owner is compelled fence his own cattle In. Under the ad of 17un,lf his neighbors' cattle tresiiassed iijmjii hlshtudaiid he Injured it lu driving them oil, he vv us liable in damages for w halev cr injury or Injuries he might thus inflict ; while te-day if Ills neighbors' c-attle tres pass en his farm and are injured by being driven oil, tlie owner of tlie cnttle thus in urrd has nn right or action fur damages. It ii yet an eH!ii question however w hcther pr no u landowner iau recover damages against the owner of cttttle for any less or damage dene by their trespassing. In the absence of mere full and iiosltlve legisla tion en this point It will dcvolve upon the courts te finally decide and settle. At the last session of the legislature a very stringent law was passed relative te the killing or birds In this state. While a comparatively small number of persons become possessors of the pamphlet laws, It Is but proper Uiat all should become ac quainted with this new statute. The law forbids the killing of any Beng birds or any ether wild birds. It also forbids the de stroying of their nests and eggs, nave only for strictly scientific purposes. Any person therefore, who will kill any kind of wild bird (game birds are excepted or course) or destroy the nests or eggs or any kind or wild birds makes hlmscir liable te prose cution. Even the person who hunts birds for scientific pureses cannot legally kill them without first obtaining a )ermlt te de se from the prothenotary of the county ; such permit can be obtained by paying the sum or ene dollar. ASOTHKHqUKSTlON IlAtSKl). One of the members asked vvhetber, owners of land through which streams flew came under the previsions of the law regulating fishing in certain seasons or the year. A ntttnljcr or member expressed opin ions for and against. It was held by seme that the streams were public highways and by ethers that owners of iland, particularly along the Pcquca, owned te the tnlddle or the stream. It w as late w hen this question was raised and a paper will probably be prepared ou it and debalcd at length. ' A motion te adjourn ujRll October wus defeated. The next meeting or the society will be held en the first Monday In Sep tember. WALKED OVElt THE ABUTMENT. Twe Men Seriously Injured nt Strlekler's Bridge. On Monday night whlle ene or the shirt ing crews at the east yard, Columbia, was running towards the railroad liridge Just east of the yard, they observed three men walking en the bridge and called te them te get out of the way. The men were un acquainted with the locality In which they vvere, and it being dark, in their haste te get out of the way of the approaching train two of the men walked ever the abutment of the bridge, fell te the ground belew and were seriously Injured. They were picked dp by the crew or the shifter and taken te Columbia where they were attended by Dr. Craig, the company's physician. This morning they were brought te this city an I sent te tlie comity. hospllul,whcre they new lie. Their niimes are Jehn Stoele and Geerge Kelly, two puddlcrs, who had been work ing at Coiisliehockcu for the Plymouth rolling mill, and ut the time of the accident were en their way te Safe Harber, where they expected te secure work. They had run short of money and had ridden en a freight train te near whercthe accident oc curred, and fearing that they might be ar rested get off te walk into Columbia.

Columbia's Great Den Tax, A citizen or Columbia called a reporter's attention te-day te what lie terms the champion deg tax. It apiiears that the Columbia council at a recent meeting ap pointed a special assessor Ter Uie assess ment or dogs, a collector te collect the same tax, and also a catcher, te catch, kill and bury the dogs. The assessor gets 'JO cents and the collector 15 cents Ter each deg tax collected. Fer each un muzzled deg tlie catcher takes in h'e receives 50 cents, and Cor every deg un claimed, which he. kills and buries, he gets ene dollar additional. This makes J1.70 ter each deg killed, while the tax collected en a deg amounts te only 1. The citizen questions hew this tax, which is supposed te be rer revenue, IhiucIUs the lsireugh, and why tlie regular wind assessors and tax collector, w he w euid get about 7 cents Ter the vvmk, could net de what new costs .'15 cents. A Medel Creditor.

He has u counter claim against the agent who sold the goods for the same amount, Uie sumo being for u greyhound pup, sold said agent. Yeu can get a transfer or the account against said agent, and jMisslbly you can get tlie pup. He is iincelieciiblc, but always In tends te pay.

AWIT.TIFTEEN MCMRER CASES RF LEAF MLR Rl'RlXG THE PAST WEEK. Farmers la Some Sections or the County New CuttlnK Tobacco Bust Re ported lu the New Crep. The imst week was n busy one in the lenr tobacco trade. Daniel A. Mayer sold SCO cases of '85, '8(1 and '87 Havana anil seed leaf tobacco te S. Harnett .V Sen, of New Yerk, or that let 500 cases belonged te the estate or Abrant Cellins, deceased. Olhcr dealers sold seven hundred cases, principally the '87 crop, and ene large firm is negotiating Ter the sale te n New Yerk parfy of n packing or 500 cases. The sale may lie inade by this time, but until his let urn te the city nothing dcntilln can be learned. The "black ret" sensation in tobacco Is net talked or any mere. During the week several packings were examined and the perccntagoef ret is less than last year. In ene packing of 400 cases, where black ret was looked for, becouse the tobacco was damp when packed, only 15 cases wero found te be slightly affected. In another packing of 100 cases net ene bore any evi dence of the alleged ret. At the meeting of the agricultural society en Monday, thoreports from all section's showed that rust is in the tobacco. In some localities the damage dene is greater than ethers. Such weather as we are having to day will step any further rust. It is very seldi m that grew lng tobacco gets tee mu?h rain, but thin season it has beeu the case and a great deal of that growing en low land is mere or leas in jured. In a drive of several miles l row days slnce It was noticed that some or the finest patches wero badly scalded through the sun coining out very het, when It was very wet. That will be worthless. In ether places rust has began and seme are cutting it off entirely tee green In order te avoid It. The later tobaccos are growing finely and will in all probability make the best goods. The damage from scald and rust Is almost all confined te the earliest Havana. Seed leaf wiU stand mero rain. Several parties' who cut their tobacco tee early, liave been obliged te hang it where tlie sun will strike It, se that It will dry. It was cut tee seen, and became wet In the cellar. New Yerk Market. Frem the Tobacco Journal. Whlle the hew leaf is in. the process of sweating, business is expected te be but light, i he low transactions that are made in new leaf will be consummated only after it has been regularly sampled. And of old sced se little is left that n combination of all the remnants would net uiake ene resiicctuble let. The holders of what will be avallabloef the new seed leaf are net lu a hurry te un load, anyhow. There aru but 2,500 cases or very line Pennsylvania Havana soed sultable for wrapping purposes. But theso are reported te be the finest ever grown. Then there comes the few thousand New England Havana and the balance will liave te be drawn en the Onondaga. Thus a scarcity or available seed leaf Is percepti ble right from the start of the season. The " black ret " In the Pennsylvania seed was neither a scare nor a rumor merely, though it may net spread te such an extent us was reiiertcd at first. The sumpler from vv horn tlie report stalled con fessed te us himself the fuel of tlie exist ence of the black ret and he ascribes it te the recently acquired custom of Uie Penn sylvania farmers te heuse their tobacco lu dump cellars. The farmer, of course, has a purpose lu putting his tobacco lu a damp cellar: dampness makes it mere pli able and te show up te better advantage ; besides It makes the tobacco weigh heavier. But it also becomes the source of ret ami will make it in the future unsalable Fer he will be a very venturosemo aeker who will hence buy tobacco which is housed in places where it is suie te germinate the disease of ret. Seme have become, se frightened already that a packing has been sold at M cents en the scales. Rut us the Pennsylvania seed has mostly been se cured for expert us stated lust week, our market will net be greatly alfected by its damaged condition. The plea put in in favor or the humor's Spanish is mero damaging te its value than anything olse that could be said against It. It also discloses the Ignerance or these w he from the most sulllshly interested motives are bound te boom it. It is pleaded lu its behalf that it is very bright, silky and wrapiicry. Tills plea would Ite a recom mendation were .limner's Spanish used us a wrapper. But its value rests solely en its usefulness as a filler. Theso who bought .(miner's Spanish last year mid paid willingly a high price for il did se be cause it could exclusively be used us a filler. Asu wrapper it has hut un cxpetl value. Sumatra moves along steadily, though net in large quantities. The new. with all its excellent qualities, is very backward in curing. It can hardly c-otue into extensive use before the frost lets in. Meanwhile the stock of old is rifled rer every bale that show s a decent leaf. Fer the factories ere bure of stock nnd they must liave some leaf te keep their business going. Havana enjoyed quite an extraordinary boom. Alstut .1,500 bales changed hands, the bulk of it Heiucdies, at prices ranging from 85c. te We. Fiem the Tobacco Icuf. Tlie market cannot be i egarded as very lively, nor can we say it is dull, for new goods nre selling iu seme rases in large lets, but there Is very llttle doing in e d block en hand. The expert demand Is very encouraging. Pennsylvania seed leal seems te lead all ether competitors in the field. We believe that business will assume a very brisk character in u short time in our home market, as seen us peo ple return from summer resorts. In rc rc rc guidtolhe report of seme ret in the seed teat, uicre is very llttle iruili in me matter, for in sampling tobacco there will be found n few cases perhaps touched, but thlM will net warnint any tumble.

He TniW te the Western Union Presi dent About Telegraph Toils, A letter "front Postmaster Oeneral Wana maker te President tlrren, of the Western Union Telegraph company, has liecn made public. He begins by rercrrlng le President Urccn's statement that " the privileges and beneiits derived by yonrcempany through the acts or Congress are purely Imaginary," and the companion assertion that your cemuy has never "taken a stene or stick or timber or appropriated a root or laud licleuging te the government under such acts." lie shows that in accepting the act or 18G0 and subsequent acts Uie companies have gained girat and substantial Iwneuis. " Under these grants the company has claimed the, right te use, without compensation or any kind as te right or way, all the highways of the country, en the ground of their being pest reads. It has broadened this claim te the extent that the streets of cities and towns are also pest reads and therefore, open and free te Its occupancy and use. The ceuits liave sustained It In this claim. Yeu are necessarily familiar with the Pcnsacela ease, iu wiileh the supreme court of the United States decided that the Western Union Telegraph company had rights which even the sovereign state or Flerida could net annul. Thus, under the beneais or this act, ilnstcad or net occupying a toot of public landv, as you assert, you are, in fact, occupying many thousand miles or jxist reads, and are privileged te occupy all the highways in the United State. " Yeu liave tli u a been able te occupy and use the streets In the large cities or Phila delphia and New Yerk regardless ofthe views or the local authorities, and almost regardless or public opinion. Uvcn tlie elevateJ railroads In NowYeik city have been claimed us pest reads, and the claim sustained. The suite or New Yerk may regulate the use, but II is net able te do de do prTve you orthese great privileges secured te telegraph companies, and maintained te them i l5tie by the congressional act en WW. Beyond thi. the streets or all ether cities and towns el the United States hav e been kept open te your use. 1 am sure that, un rollectlen, you will hardly claim that such gieat benctlts us these are purely imaginary. In ether respects your com pany and ether telegraph companies liave secured substantial benefits from the gov ernment and from the public under acts of Congtess; but these I have mentioned are enough, I think, te sustain my former reference te the privileges and benefits given te you by the government, the value of which, in my Judgment, is beyond cal culation. Contorting such privileges and benefits upon you, the government, lu my belief, expected and is entitled te receive, net simply your exceptionally low rates te ethers, but even a lower special rule." Tlie postmaster gcnctal repeats and am plifies his argilinent that the press asso ciations receive sorvice at lower rate than the government, though admitting that in the case of the Associated Press this is a wholesale rate for the same message le bcveial parties in ene place ut the same time. lie urges that reduced rates bring mero business and Increased profits. "It Is quite true, as you say, that the govern ment Is able te pay proper rates, and I may add that, se Tar us I knew, It is willing te puy just rates ; and Unit It Is farthest from my thought that " the jioeplo " should stir rer by reason or the losses you claim that you nre new making, and would still further make, en government business. 1 am satisfied the jieople could and should liave much lower rates than new ex 1st, and that neither the people nor the government should suffer because specially low rules are given te favored customers. He discusses the cost messages at length and concludes as fellows : " I understand that the signal scrvlce io ie io perts make up a very large proportion of the entire amount or government Iclo Icle Iclo graphie business. Your schedule shows thai Ter cloven years the government has been paying about three cents a word for each circuit ever which government mes sages ote transmitted. Ne reduction whatever has been made iu that rute slnce 1877, but. within that iierled, you liave reduced the public rate from 02J cents te 30 cents per message mero than 50 per cent reduction -and the cost of handling tele grams has been reduced, during the same period, from 13 1-10 edits te 23 3-10 per message, or ever 40 per cent, reduction. Within the past live years the public rate has fallen 18 per cent, and the cost of trans mission about 8 per cent., but, within that period, there has been no I eductien what ever in the government niten. "Taking all theso facts Inte account I bo be bo lieYo that the government has been paying for lis telegraphic sorvice mom than any ether customer giving you a like or ap proximate amount of business, and thai, within the period flint named, Ihciu has net been se great uieductieii iu thoguvern theguvern thoguvern meiit rates us te the general public ami tlie press. Waiving entirely the question of beneiits accruing te the telegraphic com panies, under the uct or 18M), the) govern ment ought te be put upon us favorable a basis us te telegraphic rates as your most Invoice 1 customers. Inas much us tills discussion bus taken a wider range than I anticipated, It may be proper te add, leferilug te your letter, that you ure right in saying Unit the acceptance by telcgiaph companies or tlie acteribli ' rendered it teull intents and purposes a compact between the govern ment and telegraph companies.' But I de notugree with all oryeur next succeeding statements. Fer lustaiice, the printed copy oryeur memorial presented t-j the Seiiute liosteflleo committce last year misquotes the art or 180(1, w hlch should read : " Pro vided, hew cver, that the United States may ut any timo'piirchaseall the telegraph llne-i, prejicrty and etlccts or uny or nil com panies acting under the piovisieus of the uct of July 21, ISO).'

The llre started at a quarter past six o'clock, p. m., In the reef or a lodging house en Railroad avenue, the third deer ft-eni Pest street. A dead calm prevailed at the tlme, and the sHctaters sup IHised that the firemen would sccdlly bring the flames under control. This could have beeu dene If letter precautions had been taken, but the superintendent or the waterworks was out or the city and for seme reason the men In charge failed te respond te the call for mero pressure. The beat created a current of air , and In less than an hour the entire block or framn shops were in flames, ami burning shingles and ether debris filled the air, Igniting several or the adjoining blocks. At the same tlme the oppeslto block le that In which the fire originated lu which steed the Pacific hole), ene or the handsomest structures In the Northwest, took fire. It was new ten o'clock anil by that tlme a high wind pre vailed from the' southwest and It wus evi dent that the entire business portion of I he city was in danger. Mayer Firth ordered that buildings be blown up with giant powder te check the spread or the lire. This order was speedily put Inte execution and ex plosiens added te the reign or terror. The picture was weird, grand and awful, as block after block yielded te the demon or destruction. The sky was overcast with black clouds. A strong wind sprang up from the northeast, fanning the llanici furiously, whlle an upper current continued te carry burning' embers in the oppeslto direction. The O rand hotel, Washington block, Fagle block, Tell block, New Oranlte block, dishing build ing, Falls City ejicra house, Hyde block, and all the banks, and In fact every house from Railroad avenue north lu the tiveir, and fiem IJncel u street eusl'le Washing ton street, with the exception of a few buildings en the northeast corner, wero totally destroyed. Mcanwhlle a sudden change iu Uie direction of the wind carried the llre southward ac-fess Railroad avonue and destroyed the Northern Pacific passen ger and freight depetH and several cars. The freight deKt was a splendid sliucture, and vv as filled te the reef vv Kit valuable merchandise, very llttle of which was saved. About 10 o'clock the Heward street brldge ever the river went down. A boom of legs took flre and burned for hours en the surface or the river. Mirny times flying pillars of flre covered the river, Igniting the mammoth lumber and flouring mills Unit lined its bank ; hilt by herein efforts Us career was checked en the south side of the stream. Ixieklug backwards, hew ever, the lieholder witnessed a sceno ut desola tion that was fearful te contemplate. Frag ments of nuked walls of what were Tour hours before magnificent structures or brick and granite steed like grim sentinels. The burned district embraces 30 blocks, besides the depot. The only brick busi ness houses loll standing nre the Crescent block and Ameilcau theatre. The schools and churches, college and hospital were beyond the lines ofthe burned'dlstrlct anil were net lest. It Is impossible at this writing le esti mate the less w ith any degree of accuracy, but it will net rail short or $10,0m,000, with Insurance about one-fourth that amount. The bunks have obtained temporary quarters and several liave already eituucd rer business. The work or clearing away the debris has already begun and the work of rebuilding will be also commenced ut once. The lliemeti are blowing down dangerous walls and a iiillllla company Is guarding the burned dlsttlct, whlle mounted police paired the entire city, The company will be reinforced by a company from Walla Walla te-day. The city council has held, a meeting and discussed a resolution prohibiting the erection or wooden buildings In the burned district, and a muss meeting of citizens sus tained It unanimously. The council lias passed a resolution roveklug the licenses of all hotels and restaurants, and of dealers in previsions who iidvance their prices. Only two saloons remain, and (hey have been el used by elder of the mayor. The count 11 ordered the committee) en fire, water anil scwers te investigate the cause of tlie absence of its superintendent of works, us the man loll iu charge was lu-i-enicteiit. , ' The I.OSH About 1 1 ,(X)(),(M0, The total less by file in Spokune Fulls is estimated ut cH.000.000. There were no lire engines In the city, and the volunteer llre department had te depend Ukii Uie ordinary prcssure ofthe water supply with which te light the flames. Tlie flre spread with such rapidity that a number et per sons tire believed te liave perished. Ciius.
