Senator Quay will visit his Lancaster county farm on his return home to Beav er from to-morrow meeting of the state Reputiliean committee at Philadelphia, says the Harrisburg Patriot. He has not wen the place sine lat Fall, when he spent a day there in company with Senator Cameron. Since then it has Iwen improved under the direction of Deputy Auditor tleueral Friday hy the addition ofa magnificent new barn, fences and outbuildings The purpose of Colonel Quay's proposed visit is to arrange for the remodeling of the house and other im provements. This fc one of the finest farms in Lan caster county. It consists of 135 acresand lies along the line of the Lancaster and Columbia electric railway, midway be tween Columbia and Mountvillo. It is tiounded on the soutn by the Pennsylva nia railroad, which has built a small j station nearby known as Glen Manor. The land was taken up in 1711 by Christ ian Garlier, aud remained in that family continuously until it was bought last Oc tolicrby Mr. Friday for Senator Quay. Shortly before tha sale the large stone barn was destroyed by fire. The new barn is the finest and most convenient in Pennsylvania. It has a frontage of ninety feet and a depth of ninety-three feet. The basement is used as a stable and is so arranged that one can stand anywhere on the lower floor and see all the horses and cattle feeding. Each stall is automatically supplied with water from a large spring. The second floor is of sufiiciert depth to admit of three four-horse wagons being driven on the floor at the same time. Two immense corn cribs and an agricultural implemeut fched are built in the barn. The dwelling house and barn stand back shout i'feet from the Columbia and Lancaster turnpike. The house is a sulistautial brick structure aud was built in 1-12. The floors are as good as the day they were laid and are as smooth as the floor ofa dancing halL The house will be remodeled after a design prepared by M r. Friday. A porch ten feet wide will be built around the front and sides and the j w indows on the first floor cut down to the floor. The old style hallway, with its wide stairs and small old-fashioned hand rail ing running from the first to the third flc-or will be retained. A cornice will be built around the front of the building. It will 1 fitted up with a bath, water closets hot and cold water and furnaces in the cellar. A dining room and kitch en w ill ladded to the south si le for the entertainment of Senator Quay's friends The Uarbers were botanists and planted only the choicest and rarest trees on the property. Near the house is a pecan tree. the only one of its kind in that part of the state. There are several large magnolia trees on tne lawn, w hich yielded flowers two feet in circumference. There is an immense orchard on theprop- ert v. The ide lane which runs through it : filled with mahogany and other rare trees. Two line streams run through the fai:i. one east and west and the other north and south giving splendid meadows The outbuildings ar- in tirvt-e'.ass condi tion and fitted up with the latest improve ments in the r.griculture line. The land is farmed by the Shuman family, consist ing of three brothers and three sisters all of whom are unmarried. Senator Quay is very proud of the place and expects to spend much of his time there after the Fall elections Senator Qaay Givei 81,030. PiTTnrno, Fa., SepL 2s Senator Quay saiil to-day that he was iu favor of holding the next National Republican Convention in the Smoky City. He ex plained his position in this way: "It is not too far East. Western peo ple would come here as well as to Ciii eago or Cincinnati, and so would the S eat hern delegates I shall do all that I can with my friends on the National Commit tee to have the convention held here," As au e.i:ir."st of his interest in the miner. Senator Q.lay suhscrilied ?i.itM to the convention fund. With Senator Quay's subscription the fund now amounts to JU.txi. The amount yet to le raised is .l.i.. The Finance Committee, whieh was appointed to urge this city's claims in the matter, held a meeting to-day, at w hieh Senator Quay was present. Gen. Jfatonc Paralyzed. Washington. Sept. Ex -Senator Wi!l:u:u Mahone had a serious stroke of paralysis this morning while in led at Chamberlain's hotel. His right arm is useless, his tongue paralyzed so that speech is imjiossible, and his right leg is affected. The general's condition is critics!, ow ing to his advanced age.

According to reports the aj-ple cro) of the year ls.r in this country is simply enormous. It is estimated that its value ill amount to nearly lu,m.M., though this may lealuige llgure, owing to the inevitable cheapness of lias fruit. A large part of ibis vast cirp w ill com from New York ami Michigan, though MiMsouri, also, will have an enormous crop. Ap ples are said to lie a surer growth in Mis souri than any other state. This year there will come near being a glut in the fruit market, so far as apples are concerned. Missouri alone will fur nish from ?12.iHO,( to l.V(.,.o. worth. Orchards of hundreds of acres are no great novelty in the prolific Ozark coun try. Ex-Secretary of Agriculture Nor man J. Colt-man has 6,00 pear trees and 2.11011 apple trees, the latter bending under the hea icst yield they have ever Ijornc. Apples pay if the producer can get 2" cuts a bushel for them on the tree. In alm4 every part of the apple producing section the yield is as great as in Missouri. The only hope of making this great quan tity of fruit pay is to ship it to Europe, w here good apples are scarce. Fir this purjx.se the utmost care must beoljserv ed in packing. The rest of the crop that cannot be consumed at home and made into cider, cider jelly and vinegar can l.-e fed profitably to livestock. Apple fid p.irk is a delicacy. But the apples must be sweet for pigs to thrive on them. For Itching Piles, irritation of the genitals, or itching in any part of t b 3 bsly, Doan's Ointment is worth its weight in gold.

Aaron Vanderworker, of Brooklyn, has issued a card to the voters of the First Assembly district of Kings county, an nouncing his caudidacy as Republican Representative. In his address he says; " I have never been in Congress, the Legislature, the poor house or the peni tentiary. I am opposed to rum, Schieren ism, silk stocking politic and all other known hoodooe. I own no fast horses or slow yachts and do not depend altogeth er on politics to pay my rent or grocery bills I never made a political bargain, and wouldn't know where, how or w hen to begin. I will work for lower taxes; will try so to regulate the expenditures of the State that every honest man shall have three square meals a day, including por terhouse steak, chicken potpie, rice pud ding and port wine; and will guarantee that all the wealthy corporations shall be made to divide their profits annually with the families of workingmen, under fair discrimination and mutual agree ment. "During the canvass I will make every effort to kiss all the pretty children in the district (females between the ages of 15 aud 20 being entitled to the first choice)." Bread Will Co Up. Bi-ffalo, N. Y Sept. 23. The efforts being made by the leading millers of the country, and the chief members of the National Millers' association to bring about an arrangement which will pro vide rules for the output of flour on the market, and fixing a miuimum price for flour, appear to 1 on the point of reach ing a successful issue. The details of this plan have been worked out, and made known to the principal millers in the country, and the agreement of the large millers of winter and spring wheat to abide by the regulations or in other words to enter the combination, is all that is now lacking. Aside from the Northwest, Buffalo holds the key to the situation, and vigorous efforts have, it is said, been made to bring the Buffalo mill ers into the movement. To solve the over-production problem it was decided to have all mills reduce their production 15 per cent. All mills failing to reduce their production shall, according to the agreement, pay to the combine 10 cents for every barrel of flour in excess of the agreed rale of production. The agreement is to hold for one year, and to be renewed thereafter if satisfactory. A Fir Under Ground. BfRUSOTON, September 28. A strange phenomenon has developed at Columbus a village eight miles from this city, About two weeks ago smoke was noticed coming from the ground in a large field on the farm of John Willis but at the time little attention was paid to it. Since that time the smoke has increased in den sity and there is every indication of an immense fire raging underneath. The tire has eaten its way through the field and has attacked a strip of woods where the trees after having the roots burned off, topple over. The inhabitants of the village having made several at tempts to put out this mysterious fire by digging up the earth and applying large quantities of water, but without success, Some of the older people of the common- itf state that one time this field was woodland and they account for the fire by claiming that the decaying matter w hich has lieen turned under has caused spotan eons combustion. Ho Money for the Graagert. IlARRtsBtKu, I'a., Sept. 27. There will lie no cash for the Grangers' societies rejMirt-s this year.

Stops the Fight. ArsTiN. Tex.. September 27. Governor Cnlliersoii, in his proclamation issued last night calling a special session of the Legislature to pass a bill prohibiting prize fighting so as to prevent the Corbet Fitzsimmons fight, says: "The recent decision of the presiding judge of Court of Criminal Appeals will embarrass exc itation of the laws against prize fighting. and the legislature is asked to pass a law in clear and unambiguous terms to pro hibit prize fighting, and putting it into immediate, operation so that the proposed exhibition of this cliarailer within this (Slate may be prevented.

Stuart, Onondaga. There was the usual fight for representa tion from New York City. Tammany and the State Democracy presented con testing delegations The Credentials Committee gave Tammany four-fifths and the State Democracy one-fifth representa tion. This made both fact ions angry, and the Convention adjourned amid threats of slaughter on both sides that bode ill for Democratic success this fall in the city or State, Ex-Governor R. P. Flower presided over the Convention. The platform declares for home rule in all local affairs including local option; better roads; legislation in the interests of labor; Fed eral taxation for revenue only; gold and silver as the only legal tender; rigid maintenance of the reserved rights of the States, and the vigorous enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. Senator Hill was very active in trying to compose the difference between Tam many and the State Democracy, but with out success Tammany turned him down. A notable incident was the presence of Senator Murphy in the in terest of Tammany. Good Hews for the Farmers. The price of wheat has fallen from 83 to HO cents a bushel, but this is no argu ment that the low valuation of last year will succeed the rise of six months ago or that wheat growers will suffer by holding back their harvests In the na ture of things a reaction was inevitable and the reaction came, but the short crops in Argentine and lack of Russian supplies in European markets means a demand before long upon American re serves which must restore the figures to quite near the dollar mark. This year's crop in the Northwest is below the av erage and there is a good market in sight for every bushel the farmers may have to sell. Philadelphia Time. Inerease of Pension List. While the amount of money paid for pensions will not be materially different from that of past yean, it appears that there have been added to the pension rolls during the year about 1,000 names in ex cess of those that have dropped out. There have been a great many outstand ing pension claims adjusted during the year, and that accounts for the large increase. The year has not been very fatal to pensioners the death rate being less than would be anticipated at the time of life at which the veterans of the late war have arrived. Widow's Pensions, The pensions allowed the widow of a soldier cease, under the law, when she marTiea again. If she has any children by her first marriage she may continue to draw a pension as Guardian of her children after her marriage, but, in such an event, she must surrender her widow's certificate and lie appointed Guardian of the children. The pension drawn as Guardian ceases w hen the child reaches the age of sixteen years If the widow continues to draw her pension as a w id ow after remarriage, she may 1 proceed ed against civilly for the recovery of the money overdrawn, if she has property. and may also Is? prosecuted criminally.
