Denver, Colo., Oct. 31.—Hon. Thomas
M. Patterson was arrested last night on
a charge of criminal libel preferred by
the officers of the Denver Tramway com-
pany. The complaint is based upon an
article in the News, of which Mr. Pat-
terson is president, which claims that
juries in the oases in which the tramway
company is defendant are systematically
corrupted. Damages amounting to $200h
000 art* asked.

A Valise Found Containing Papers Be-
longing to AV. E. Baker.
Chicago, Ill., Oct. 31.-—The police of
this city have in their possession a valise
which they believe is all the evidence that
remains of a murder. The valise was
found last evening in the yards of the
Pennsylvania railroad company. It had
been cut open and rifled, and whatever
of value that could be made use of by
the thieves had been taken. They left
behind, however, papers to the value
of $65,000. These were mostly first mort-
gages, and bore the name of W. E.
Baker, whose residence is believed to be
in Minneapolis^ There was also a bank
book, issued by the First National bank
of, Minneapolis... in the name of W. E .
Baker. Some of these papers were from
Red Falls, Mimi.
The Chicago police has notified the au-
thorities of Minneapolis of the discov-
ery. but ixaye n.qt yet received informa-
tion. jthat ..would throw light, upon the
identity of the owner of the valise. As
the. valise was-found but a short dis-
tance from the river, it is the theory of
the police that its owner had been way-
laid and murdered, and his body thrown
into the river.
CHARGE OF DOUBLE MURDER.
Jamestown. N. ¥., Oct. 31.—It is be-
lieved that the author of the notorious
double murder of Mrs. Sherman and
Mrs. Davis, at Busti, on December 15,
1894, has been run to earth at Panama, a
village ,12 miles Avest of here. Charles
Douglas is under surveillance, and will
he ai rested today on the charge of hav-
ing committed the murders. Officers
have been steadily working on the case
all summer, and an iron, believed to be
the instrument which was used to kill
the two women, was found last night
under Douglas’.barn. Douglas has been
suspected for some time. .

A MILLIONAIRE’S SON.
as a. Burglar and Buried as a
Pauper.
St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 31.—In a cheap
pine ’ box. less’than two feet under the
ground lies the body of a young man in
the little cemetery at West End. Last
‘evening its covering of earth was re-
moved and the body was identified as
that of Henry J. Hugueley, the only
son of tlje millionaire, H. W. Hugueley,
a wholesale,' liquor dealer of Boston,
Mass.
He was killed Sunday night at New.
market, south of St. Joseph, by Janies
Hall, who was awakened by burglars
and who: discharged the contents of a
double-barrelled shotgun at one of them,
The man dropped dead in his tracks,
but his two,pals,.escaped. No one came
to .claim the foody and it wa.s buried in the
potter’s field.
A Kansas City detective, seeing a pub-
lished deschriptioir of the body, had the
grave opened and says he is confident the
dead man is young Hugueley, whom he
recently saw in St. Louis, but who was
known by the officer in 1892. when con-
victed of forgery at Dallas, Tex. Young
Hugueley was disowned by his father,
font ‘he latter sent him occasional re-
mittances.
SUPPOSED MURDER.

erly occupied by Senator Dolph of Ore-
gon. on Massachusetts avenue. As soon

MISSISSIPPI.
Natchez. Oct. 19.—I have never been a
believer in the exaggerated reports re-
garding the damage to the present crop
sufficient to bring- it down to the low bull
estimates obtaining. The terrible heat
and lack of moisture undoubtedly did cut
tlr.' crop down and the worms also dam-
aged it some; this the world admits and'
has sent the price up enormously, and in
our opinion beyond where it now belongs,
for we believe the crop to be seven and a
quarter millions (7,250,000), with a mini-
mum if this magnificent weather con-
tinues of but little below, and this, too,

Shreveport, Oct. 19.—The crop is un-
questionably a short one, but with con-
tinued good picking weather may go in
the neighborhood of 6.750,000 to 7,000.00O.
Killing frost would do no damage, as
there is no top crop making.^The plant is
dry and very near all the bolls opened
and picked out. By the 1st of November
think that all the cotton will be picked -
out; this I am sure are the conditions in.
tliis section. 1 have men scattered all ,
over Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana and,
discounting their reports, a crop of 6,-
500,000 would be a tremendous estimate.
Many responsible 'and reliable planters
in the country predict that the outrun of
this crop will astonish the cotton world;'
and that present receipts are not indica- j" A GREAT-BARGAIN.

in the face' of the fact that we don’t look
to the top crop for much.
Jackson, Oct. 19. — Reports through-
out this section continue very discourag-
ing, great damage 'having been caused by
worms, excessive rains, followed by a
four weeks’ drouth, and an unprecendent-
ed hot sun. The current estimates place
the yield about 25 per cent short, as
compared with last year, while many well
posted men say that it will be fully 30
per cent short. There is no mistake about
this crop being very short. Acreage was
reduced in this state fully 15 per cent;
the sale of fertilizers- was reduced at the
least 50 per; cent; unusual ‘weather had
prevailed throughout the entire season.
We du not see how it is possible for the
state of Mississippi to raise over 850,000
bales, against 1,200,000 last year.
TENNESSEE.
Nashville, Oct. 20. — Our ideas agree
with ycurs in regard to the reports about
crop damage. We believe these reports
have been exaggerated in many cases.
Our estimate of the crop was 8,000,000
and we thought the fine weather and kill-
ing frosts, delayed until October 25,
would justify these figures, but recent in-
cfuiries have led us to believe that the
continued dry weather and frosts have
cut off a portion of the top crop. We
now think 7,500,000 is high enough to
estimate and we may reduce that figure
soon. We know’ this is far abovethb
average estimate, but we know the crop
in Tennessee will make a fair average3
crop, even if killing frost should conic
tomorrow. Most of the crop is already
c,pen and a killing frost would not dam-
age it much.
Memphis, Oct. 20.—The general opinion
.with us is that the crop is about 25 per
cent short of last year as regards condi-
tion and you must add to that 10 per cenv
decrease in acreage. We do not remem-
ber ever having heard quite as many and
as serious complaints as has been the
case this year. We ourselves have not
shared this opinion to so great an ex-
tent. We know of nothing which, could
have changed our crop in three weeks
from an exceedingly good one to an ex-
ceedingly bad one, and yet. it is exactly
what it is. claimed took place, caused, it
is said, by the wet weather in July and
August, followed by the long and very
hot dry weather in September. We think
hot wealthier caused, rapid maturity, but
did not cut off the yield to the extent
claimed. The frost of last week undoubt-
edly hurt the crop in the bottoms to the
extent of stopping the growth of very
young bolls, but we do not think the hill
crops were damaged to any extent.
TEXAS.
Cuero, South Texas, Oct. 18.—The crop
is really bad; it is the worst season we
have had for several years; some planters
were in hopes to make a full crop, but
this is gone also; the worms got away
with it. All the country gins work one
day a week only. In our section the
crops will be 60 per cent less than last
year. Of course, we give you our candid
views, and alsouwhat we have seen per-
sonally. OuriMrF----- is the president
of the largest giip here. Last year they
ginned 4368 bales*;! this year we will not
exceed 1600 to 1700. We also beg to call
you attention .that it takes about 1635
to make 500 pounds lint; last year 1525
pounds.
Weatherford,; Central Texas, Oct. 20.—>
I have gone to considerable trouble to
personally ascertain the true state of af-
fairs in our vicinitv. We find in a neigh-
borhood many fields that will never be
entered again by the pickers, while
acress the fence anay be a field loaded
v ith unopened bolls. • On inquiry, We
find that these latter were taken by the
glass and ploughed up and planted again
in June. Should Ave have a late frost a
fine crop will be gathered from such
fields, but they represent a very small
percentage of , the crop. Our to-wn last
year received 37,000 bales; we have so
far this season received about 9000, and
our opinion is that we will have at least
13.000 more, although we are alone in
that estimate; others put it less. Our ter-
ritory is generally considered about, the
best in the statethis year, but personally
we have no means of judging as to the
truth of that. As to the top crop, there
is absolutely none; the hot, dry weather
following the extremely wet summer
stepped all growth and caused the young
bolls and squares to shed. Had occa-
sional rains followed, neiw ones would
have taken their places, but we have
only bad one since August 19.
Bouham, North Texas, Oct. 20.—I can
only give you the crop outturn from out
section; that is, from Texarkana to Sher-
man or Greenville south of us. Bonham
received 34,000 bales last season, and for
the present season we expect 12,000 to
14.000 bales; we reveived to date 7500,
last season, same date, 16,000. Taking
the high price of cotton, the farmers as

i mating top crop. Corn gathering has [ ;
caused lighter receipts.
Fort Gaines, Oct. 19.—There is no
doubt that it will be exceptionally short,
say ^ibout 40 per . cent, from last year.
There will be no top crop. The excess-
ive rains of July and August left, the
piaut in an exhausted condition, from
which it soon died. The crop has been
almost, entirely picked and largely mar-
keted. October 15 usually brings a. rush
with us in our small towns. This year
it has been as quiet as December usually
is. The fields are bare of cotton and
picking is virtually over. But little re-
mains on plantations to be marketed.
Augusta, Oct. 19.—Of course, we be-
lieve the yield will be under that of last
year. In this immediate section we will
make more cotton, but this is excep-
tional. Our idea of the crop is 6,800.000
minimum, whereas we firmly believe it
will reacli 7,500,000. There is little or
no leason to suppose that a top crop can
be made; lack of moisture for the past
two months will prevent it, although we
hear from Mississippi and some other
few sections that some top crop is show-
ing up.
Savannah. Oct. 21.—The-prcsent decline
should have a salutary effect all around,
inducing buyers and sellers to trade on a
legitimate basis. Farmers now have
leisure to go to picking again, of which
there remains much to be done. Between
Augusta and Atlanta, the best cotton
■section of the state, prbbably, the fields
are still white with cotton, all open at
once. Frost has done no harm, proof
being the green appearance of the weed.
Even scattering blooms may be seen.
AVith present prices for cotton, the fields
are apt to be picked clean. The terri-
tory below Macon, on the Southern rail-
way, and the Cuthbert district, are un-
doubtedly quite short. About Americus
the crop is very fair. One planter there
admits he is making more than last year
on the same land, when he raised 200
bales; His is an exceptional case, how-
ever.
A. Norden & Co., of New York, have
issued the following- genepai crop circu-
lar and sent it to their European corre-
spondents:
During the present week we Haye re-
ceived the following reports by mail and
telegraph regarding the rptfW cyppr:
ALABAMA.
Troy: Oct. 19.—We went’ over the Can-
vass carefully for the last fouy.yeefcs'and
tlie consensus of the invcffi:igation shows
that on one-third of the-area the-average
yield is 60 per cent of kestr/year <and on
iwo-thirds 70 to 90 per cefit. This would
indicate an average of abdut 73'per cent
of last year. But a partial top crop will
have- to be added to our calculations. The
cry in September that, the plant .was dead
was accepted as a fact and'forgotten Hur-
ing the bull excitement. It now trans-
pires that many planters willunake a fair
top crop, one-half of ' wliicfi“has grown
bolls and frost will not hurt,, it.., The
other half (young bolls') ,Avill;- mature it
frost does not come Within-10 days; It
can be safely estimated that the! top
crop will amount to about 3 per cent, or
a total of 76 per cent, , Reports,, of a
larger yield are now /(ihp.W, (Prevalent
than they were a month ago. In other
woids, it appears to us- nbwia:conserva-
tive estimate the crop -will .fall short,
say 25 per cent, from lasf'year. AVe have
had occasion to travel 50'mites today and
we sa w a la rger number of- fields ..-whit*,
with cotton than the number of entirely
picked fields. AVe speak for our section
only. From past observation, we.repre-
sent usually the aver^gpmtjfhe eStire cot-
ton belt; and it must not 'be forgotten
that overestimates of UropsLsoihing from
the south are of rare occurrence.
Clayton, Oct. 19.—Regarding our: sec-
tion, embracing a radius rpf ;60; miles, we
cm only honestly sta ,te that in . this, ter-
ritory the crop is fully 4(7 per”CArif! Mi’ort
of last season and. qiuiTe 20 per cent ofl
from the season of 1893. In most in-
stances picking is finished and, although
having had no killing frost, we will make
no top crop: the plant looks black] and
dead like during the,iltbn£fo ctf~L)ecember.
Owing to the reniunt^itfro price prevail-
ing. planters are J&'rHiging what '’they
have made to market as rapidly aAliossi-
ble, being satisfied to Obtain on an ffver-
age of 8 1-2 to <8 3-4e .per pound. Many
planters have marketed .their last'*bale
and our receipts are already beginning to
show shortage of crop, nAw being ! only
about 75 bales per day, agMiilst last week
100 per day. After this ‘month they will
dwindle to very smalb figuTes Ancl, if
ethers are as bad off• as we, the world
will soon realize hdtv'smalTthiS ei’op may
prove to be. We t.hiiik tile'present move-
ment has nothing to'do1 with the size of
the crop. Weather has -been remarkably
fine and planters lelateU ’ at; ^bttiiig the
j>resent prices are s'liovihg what ‘they
gathered to market. ’ Next month ■ will
tell the tale.
Sheffield, Oct. 19.AAVe'are firmly; con-
vinced the crop will not exceed 61 per
d'nt, as compared, with last year, under
the most favorable qqnditions from, now
on. No more fruit will bd inaJe; frost
and dry weather has JinWhFd flffi crop.
Miany fields on the uplamls -:haYe 'been
picked clean. If the weather 'Continues
favorable the entire crop Will have .been
picked by November 1 and the greater
portion marketed.
Montgomery, Oct. 19.~-We hear from
special friends that the crop iii file bot-
tom lands has improved' Considerably.
The writer h ini self ...Jilts,. visited some
places recently which' are developing a
good top crop. The uplands- in our
neighborhood rendered dmly'a moderate,
say average, crop and .‘iff niafij’ instances
stopped making. On-the'either hand, east
of here -the uplands havedone splendidly.

CAROLINAS.
Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 19.—The yield
will be 5 per cent less than l&st year and
the acreage 10 per cent;-which is 'a very
fair estimate. The weather li.a§ beeh all
that has been needed’'ahas
been rather a benefit, a;s jt eyas lied se-
vere enough to kill the bo1!!^ but killed
the leaves and has put tbem-but of the
way sc that the sun .has.had full power
on the bolls, and especially ha'sithc frost
been of benefit to the'cotion in the, low
places, as this season, all low lands' will
yield better than usual^asL' such land is
generally too -wet and many, places go to
weed, and this season jt,has been .dry: and
has made good cotton. I can speak only
for this ’ section, as I- have not- traveled
enough through the belt to judge of the
size of the crop.
Goldsboro, N. C.,‘ O.C.t,, 19..—As. far as
the crop is concerned. I . find upon close
observation that w-e will make about 35
to 40 per cent less cotton than last sea-
son. Excessive heat and early frost
have greatly reduced our prospects in this
section.
Greers, S. C., Oct. 19.—I think the crop
in this section shortWdhe to decreased
acreage more than poor .yield. I. think re-
duction in acreage from 15 to 25 per cent
in this state. Y’ou can find very few crops
as good as last year and still fewer bet-
ter than last year, while^yoil can’find a
great many not as go'det. ’ Frost injured
the late cotton, but did not do-a particle
of damage to early cotton. In this sec-
tion we had first too-,much rain and then
too much drouth. The plant, did not do
well from the start. It looks now as if
our picking season would be the shortest
ever known. Bales- here average 30
pounds under last year.’"We get this from
our books.
GEORGIA.
Albany. Oct. 18.—The crop has cer-
tainly improved within the last four
weeks and is turning out better than
e/pected. We hateLhad nothing like a
killing frost yet; the;weather has been
simply perfect, both for the picking and
for the development bf a top crop. It
may be safely safiLfhat if the month of
October passes without a killing frost
’(and there is no reaspiu why it should
not) this immediate section-will make a
crop not far below .ISWyear: A trip to
Dawson, Shellmaii^'jCTlthbeyt ,and along
the Alabama line, which T undertook a
few days ago, however, ha-s convinced
me that the crop there is. not as good as
in our territory. .OL CGUi’S.e, I did not
come in close contact With planters, on
whose statement I could place reliance,
but warehousemen, buyers of cotton and
bankers all agree' Tn "claiming that' the
bulk of the crop iH .in aiffl that receipts
in their respective, tpjyns..will fall 35
per cent short of last year. Putting all
things together, I shQukl-s.ay that south-
west Georgia will, ITciK’ jhel \khole, fall
short about 20 p<w ce,i)L of Jast year.

NEW YORK CANALS.
They Will Saye in Freights Annually
.... .. ■ Oyer $2,000,000.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 31.—The En-
gineering- News this week discusses' edi-
torially ' the proposed expenditure of
$9,OO0;OOO on the New York state canals.
.It shows - that if the proposed improve-
rnenst: re,du.ee the cost of carriage 1 cent
per bushel, which appears probable, the
saying,LWItfi h. "traffic on the Erie canal
. equal to that of 1894, . will amount to
$1,038,000'!fier' annum.
It> deeffis it likely, however, that with
the canal.. deepened and improved, as
proposed, the traffic will increase to
what it -was in 1880, and if this occurs
,the annual, saying'* in cost of freight
’transportation will amount to $2,218,000,
Or a . return of nearly 25 per cent per an-
num--upon--the expenditure which the
state proposes.
■ Concerning the objection that a ship
•canal might supersede the Erie canal, it
says:, . A., canal rate as low as 1% cents
per bushel from Buffalo to New York,
which seems., .likely to be reached when
the proposed improvements are made
amounts ‘to’ only l-10th of a cent per ton
per -mile. Remembering that freight,
rates on the /ocean lines of the heaviest
traffic and lowest rates are often as
much as this, and seldom less, then it
ought‘to be easy to be seen that were a
free, ship- canal open to the great lakes
it by’no means follows that ocean ves-
sels could'afford to use it in competition
with cheaply built barges on the Erie
canal. ’ "
