Vicar Farley Murdered—National League Will
Not Down—Spain's'Eye on Morocco—
The Triple Alliance.
Dublin, October 4.—Several branches of
the National league held meetings on San
day in the Mitchelstown district. In one
case hundreds of people evaded the police
and went to a fortified house outside the
town, where the meeting took place.
Uanderville, who was tried with O'Brien
for using seditious language and sentenced
to two months' imprisonment but released
on bail, presided, and made a speech in
which he declared it impossible to destroy
the league. Resolutions were passed strong
ly condemning the government's Inter
ference with public meetings and the free
dom of speech.
"it's a mistake."
William O'Brien has written a public
letter in which he gays: -'On tUe day of
my conviction at Mitchelstown, the solid'
tor general telegraphed In cypher to the
crown counsel: 'It's a mistake. O'Brien
Will beat ns. Harrington will be disbarred
at onr next meeting.' This explains why
I received tiree separate summonses. The
plot for ruining Harrington is here dis-
closed with brutal candor."
In an interview Harrington says: "Per-
haps some of my words at the Mitchslsto <vn
inquest was too strong for some of onr
English friends, but nothing el3e could
elicit facts from the police. It was only
by breaking down the evidence of earlier
witnesses that I could change the story ar-
ranged by the police. I was informed of
the policy that had previously be9n
determined upon to give me all the in<- >1-
ence possible in the witnesses' chair, ft <r
geant Ryder pledged himself to his cjI
Eanions to strike me. This was borne nat
v his demeanor in the witnesses' chair.
The inspector, however, restrained him. I
would not be surprised If Dublin castle
flcds itself in an awkward fix when all t le
facts regarding the refusal to permit Con
stable Sullivan's report in evidence are
placed before the English people. The
government will doubtless prosecute other
journalists than those named Bhonld
O'Brien and Sullivan be thrown into prison.
It will be a strong plank in onr platform
through its effect in England, where ttie
greatest jealousy is felt in regard to the
rights of itie press."
Thursday, when his trial comes off, mem-
bers of the corporation in their robes will
accompany him.

London, October 4.—During the inquest
to-day In the case of the victims who were
shot by thet police at Mitchelstown, recant
ly, Mr. Harrington caused a scene by open
ly declaring that the police who had testi-
fied had committed perjury. Head Uonsta
bleBosf bridge declared he valued the lives
of the police more than he did the livas of
rioters.

An Irish Miner While Crazed by Whisky Kills
One Man and Has a Thousand Shots
Fired at Him.
El Paso, Tex., October 4.—News has been
received here ot an unique affray teu days
ago at the Planchas de Plata mine, near
Sablnal, state of Chihuahua, Mexico. An
Irish miner named John Lloyd became
crazed from a prolonged spree, and con-
ceived the notion that the Mexicans wanted
to kill him. He procured a Winchester
rifle and told a German teamster named
Warner that he was going to guard agaiast
bis expected assailants. Warner told a
Mexican foreman named Roderiguez what
Lloyd had said. Roderiguez went to pacify
Lloyd, whereupon the latter threw np his
rifle and shot Roderiguez dead. Warner
got a rifle and tried to shoot the infuriated
man, but while ha was maneuvering for a
sure aim Lloyd got a chance and shot him
through the thigh. Lloyd then took ref age
in the office of the superintendent, who was
away, and bade defiance to the camp. A
courier was dispatched to a Mexican mili-
tary post a few miles away for a detach-
ment ot soldiers. When they arrived they
dispersed themselves among the rocks and
opened fire upon Lloyd's fortress. Lloyd
replied for a time and then became silent.
After firing a thousand shots the soldiers
charged the building aud found Lloyd hid-
den among a lot of boxes unharmed. He
was taken to Casa Grande, where he will be
tried and doubtless condemned and shot.
BPOBTIHG EVENTS.
Dallas, Tex., October 4—r. B. Goodley
of the land and cattle firm of Goodley &
Land, has returned from a trip to the east-
ern cities and as high up as Canada, taking
in Chicago and Kansas City en route home.
He says that the conservative moneyed
men with whom he conversed in relation to
the cattle business vary all the way from
one to five years in their estimates as to
the time it will require for the business to
return to a healthy, safe and prosperous
condition. One eastern concern which has
not heretofore had any experience in the
cattle business, he says,has recently formed
a syndicate to Invest largely in land and
young she cattle. They believe that by the
time the Increase from tnese cattle shall
reach a marketable ago and condition cattle
values will have appreciated to at least
double their present status. They
believe this so strongly that they are put-
ting J2.000.000 into the venture. This sum
will purchase 1,500,000 acres of land and
oO,OOC head of cattle. The3e gentlemen con
eider cattle an A1 investment just at this
time, provided the investors have cash
money and are otherwise in shape to await
the increaee of their herds, but they do not
think cattle a winning cird on borrowed
capital. He says close observers of the
cattle business say that the great number
of cows that are being slaughtered In con-
sequence of the drouth iu several of the
corn producing states, and the eagerness
on the part of many cattlemen to get rid
of their stock and abandon the
business will have a tendency to very ma-
terially reduce the branding during the
next year or two, and, still further on, to re-
duce the supply not only of steers but also
of stock cattle of the country, and thus con-
tribute to hasten the appreciation of cattle
values.
At Chicago Mr. Goodley noticed that an
unusually large number of cows were being
slaughtered, which a few years ago would
have been considered as jewels on the
ranches in ihe west. He also observed that
a considerable number of the cattle being
received at Chicago Is no better than the
merest crow-bait, a circumstance that goes
to show that stockmen are reducing their
herds at all hazards.
Mr. Goodley would not commit himself
on the subject of feeding this se*gon, be-
cause he says he is unsettled on that point.
The report that the corn crop is a failure in
several of the states that are largely de-
voted to the raising of that grain would
seem to argoe that in Texas, where corn
can be had cheaply, It would pay to feed
steer?. But he has it second-handed that
the department of agriculture has jast is-
sued a report to the effect that the corn
crop of the United States is better than an
average. This knocks all the calculations
of the west sky-high. The west has been
figuring on the inability of the farmers of
the old states to represent to any great ex-
tent the early spring markets, but the fig-
ures from the department of agriculture
place things in a different light, or rather the ,
same old light, and Mr. Goodley wants far- [
ther illumination before he commits him-
self on the question of feeding during the
coming season.
THE PRODUCE MARKETS.
CHICAGO.
Chicago, October 4.—The feeling in tlio
wheat market this morning was rather more
bullish; but little news of interest developed,
and changes In prices were sllghtilthej trad-
ing was mostly confined to small operators.
Cables firmer, and accompanied with some
small buying orders. Home markets received
some little strength from a rumor stating that
an error had bceif made on Buffalo stocks
which made the visible supply 400,000 bushels
too large. It was also rumored tliat there had
been some selling for Northwest, and a promi-
nent local operator reported as being a mod-
erate buyer. Receipts in northwest large, but
only fair at other points. Export clearings
were also fair, and a good milling demand ex
Itted. November wheat opened at 7i Vc, sold
at 7U;i37Uic, closing at latter figure; May
opened at 78,'„'e, sold at 78%®78'<c, and closed
at latter figure.
There was no special feature in the corn
mailet, and it was the dullest dav for many
wetks;' opening figures were not changed till
noon, when there was some local buying
which caused a little better price. Local stjcfe
was posted at 1,209,000 bushels ol' No. 2, a de
create for the week of 114,000 bushels. There
was a fair demand for cash corn, and a local
operator took quite a line at 42 /cM-Xc. It
was said that western railroads had extended
low rates on corn from Iowa and Missouri,
which expired September 30 to October 30,
which will probably increase rates during the
ensuing month. November corn opened at
42,Vc,sold to 42?s042?ic, aud closed at42Vc;
May opened at 45>ic, sold at 45>j®4&%c uiul
c.oeed at 45/ic.
Provisions easy and nothing of consequence
doinij in the market; offerings moderate on
speculative account, ana there was no par
tlcuiar demand from any source. The liberal
receipts of hogs attracted some att&ntlon.aud
In a measure checked Inquiry for speculative
articles. Prices were more favorable to buy-
ers, though the reduction was slight. Oetnber
and January deliveries meet with more favor.
Inquiry on shipping account was fall and
offerings moderate, with a tew transactions at
slightly reduced pilces. Tne receipts of pro
ducts were lair and shipments unusually
hervy. Liverpool advices showed au easier

What He Knows About Seeding.
The Vernon Guard prints what a Wil-
barger conntv farmer knows about wheat
seeding. He saps the most important thins
In the preparation o£ a seed bad is that it
be line and solid. Remember that the
period of fall growth is but a few weeks,
and tbat during this short time the plant
should grow enough leaves to furnish it
with Its own winter protection, and enough
roots to get a good hold on the soil to keep
it from beiDg heaved out bv the frost, and
also to enable it to find and appro-
priate the [plant food. Deep plow-
ing for wheat is safe when it can be
done early, and is followed by heavy
rains to settle the land; but it is very risky
when a heavy growth of weeds is to be
turned under and when the wheat must be
sown Immediately thereafter. If you must
cow as soon as plowed, plow shallow, and
in all j)lowii)g after the middle of August
pulverize each day as you plow. Keep
either a roller or a heavy plank drag iu the
held; before the clods have had tune to
harden go over It and crnsh them and
smooth and compact the land. I am muoh
in favor of shallow seeding. Xt is a scientific
lact that the young plant gets no nourish-
ment from the soil until the blades reach
the surface and expand iu the sun aud air.
Carefully conducted experiments seem to
indicate that one inoh is the best depth at
whioh to cover the seed, and many of our
modern drills have attaohed to the hoes a
gauge to regulate the seed. The quantity
of seed to the acre which will give tne best
results has been a matter much debated
and experimented upon. My own conclu-
sions, based on many experiments of ray
own, is that on a rich, well-preoared seed-
ted, sown early, one bushel will produce a
full yield, and with small-grained varieties
three pecks will suffice, and five pecks is a
liberal quantity for any soil.
Eockdtlo.
Rockdale, Tex., October 3.—This section
is again needing rain.
Cotton receipts to date about 1400 bales.
Buyers complain of great difficulty In plac-
ing cotton. The Farmers' alliance will
have little or no surplus this season at
Rockdale and indeed the outlook for the
coming season is gloomy, so far as cash In
the hands of farmers is concerned. The
credit system will necessarily open much
earlier this year than for several years
past.
Minor H, Brown, well known In Interior
newspaper circles, has purchased the Vox
Populi of Calvert, and will transfer the
plant to this place. He intends to publish
a weekly paper to be called the Rockdale
Review. Mr. Brown is an old citizen of
Rockdale, though comparatively young,
and will doubtless receive a liberal patron-
age.

SCHOONER WRECKED.
Three Men Saved and Three Supposed to
Have Been Drowned by the Wrecking
Cf the Schooner Havana,
St. Joseph, Mich., October 4.—The
cchooner Havana, owned by Captain A. P.
Read of Kenosha, was sighted o£f this port
yesterday flying signals of distress. The
vessel was in a sinking condition and the
crew unable to keep her hold clear of water.
Captain John Curran concluded to beach
her if possible, and headed for shore. At 0
o'clock, when about three-fourths of a mile
off shore, the vessel went down, and the
crew was seen to climb into the rigging.
There were seven men aboard. Captain
Curran, Steward John Morris, and a sailor
named Joseph Clint climbed into the main
rigging and let the others into the fore rig-
ring. As tho vessel gave a heavy lurch i»re
mainmast crashed overboard, carrying
three men into the breakers. They struck
out for the shore, and when last seen were
breasting the waves. As nothing has been
seen of them since they are probably
drowned. The remaining tour men clung
to the crosstrees for nearly three hours,
when a tug rescued them from their peril-
ous position.
