WaSntmTOB, Nov. 10. The ' De
partment of Agriculture reports a
good season for cotton picking daring
October in the southwest, and Only
moderately favorable whether i the
Atlantis Coast States. The wet
weather! of September proved ery
injorionsko quality,proatrating plant
and rotting bolls, causing blightand
shedding and injuring the prosprecta
Of the top crop. There is much
stained fibre, ana the quality is much
poorer than that of previous years.
Picking was late commencing but
there has as yes been no killing frost,
rendering possible partial compensa
tion as to length of season. Indica
tions of the yield per acre average
the same as last year at this tune,
though the previous condition of Ihe
plant scarcely warrants the expecta
tion of so muob late growtn and bar-
vest outcome in November and De
cember ; The States west of the
Mississippi report a slightly larger
yield than last year, while Georgia,
Alabama : and Tennessee indicate; a
slight redaction. The other Stages
indicate nearly the same expectation
as at this date last year. i
The returns of the yield of odrn
made to the Department of Agricul
ture indicate the yield per acre quite
as large as that of 1885, and larger
than any ; other crop sinbe
1880. The aggregate will exceed
that of any previous' Ameri
can product, being very close to
2,000,000,000 bushels, or about $2
bushels per capita, which has been
exceeded in Several previous years.
The com surplus States average
yieldss as follows: Ohio 85 2 bushel,
Indiana 85, Illinois 36 2; Iowa 37,
Missouri 31,. Kansas 27, Nebrasba 36.
These seven States produce 64 per
cent of the crop aggregate. The gen
eral average, will fall somewhat ai
der 27 bushels. There is a good sup
ply of mail in nearly all parts of tfce
South, so ; that comparatively little
will be required from the Weal.
The yields of the Atlantio States are
moderate, seriously reduced by frost
on the northern border. '
After three years cf low yields
pota'oea ; give an average (ft
about 80j bnabels per acre
or nearly the rate , of yield of 187&'
The averages of prominent potato-
growing States are as follows:
Maine 110 bushel: New York 82 :
Pennsylvania 82: Ohio 80; Michigan
75; Indiana 75; Illinois 80; Iowa 90s,
Minnesota 95; Dakota 80: Nebraska
80.1 The yield has been ioereaeed ii
the South; , It is high in th norther A
belt of the Territories. The iota
product on the basis of these aver
ages is about 195,000,000 bushels, ot
61,000,000 more than the estimated
product of 1887.
i The average yield of buckwheat is
approximately 12 bushels per acre;
and th crop is nearly 11,000,000
bushels. The average for New York
is 11 bushels; Pennsylvania 14; Mich
igan 12 6: Indiana 14 4; Illinois 12 6
Wisconsin 9.5: 1 Minnesota, 11: low
10 8: Miaaouri 10 7; Kansas 9 6: Ne
braska 1L3. r 1
The har croo is sliehtlv above the
average in yield, or 1.22 tons per acre.
It baa been seriously injured bv the
drongnt. There is a strong tendency,
to an increase of area in the Souths
and the yield upon cultivated areas
rather than natural meadows are
relatively large.

BooHBSTXB, Nov. 10. Last even
ing's fire was the worst that ever oo
curred in this oity. At least 12 lives
were lost and 20 persons injured. The
pecuniary loss will amount to f 250,
000. The alarm was sounded at 7 SO
and the fire department was soon on
the scene. At that time but little fire
could be seen from the outside. ' The
building was approachable only on
one aids and the firemen -had only a
narrow alley to work in. The building
stood on the edKe of the npper falls
of the Genesee river. These falls are
ninety-six feet high. When the fire
men arrived the windows on tbe
street side of the building were filled
with men calling for help. There
were 65 men inside. The firemen an
swered them telling them not to
jump, that they would soon bores
cued. The men paid no attention to
the encouraging cries and soon the
air was filled with falling human
bodies. At least 20 men jumped from
the third story. All of them were
more or less injured. They were at
once taken to a hospital Four of
them died of their injuries before they
could be removed. There are 21
missing men. It is supposed that all
the missing men are dead in the
ruins. It is reported at 10 a. m. that
; ten more bodies have been found in
the ruins.

St. Louis, Mo , Nov. 10. A special
to the Post-Dispatch from Pittsburg,
Kan , gives the details of a disaster
in shaft No. 2, of the Pittsburg,
Cherokee and Santa Fe Mining Com-
?any, near that place last night,
he oompanyhad more orders than
they could fill, and in their attempt
to keep up they have been running
an unusually large force of miners.
Yesterday morning 164 men were
lowered into the mine. At noon the
blasts were fired all right, and later
the miners descended for afternoon
duty, and at 5:30 they were ready to
fire their blast again. The first
shot had ; been fired, but be
fore tbe'tn&n could, be hoisted a
terrible rumblirg noise was heard
above and a black cloud of diit, slate
and dust shot into the air from the
mouth of the shaft, tearing away the
tracks upon which cages are hoisted
and filling the ehaft with, the debris.
The explosion occurred on the east
side and is attributed to the inexperi
ence of tome new men. Before the
men outside could recover their senses
one miner appeared in the air-shaft
nearly suffocated. He was helped out
and followed by others till a large
number had escaped, how many is not
known. There was plenty of help at
hand and those at the top devoted
their attention to rescuing their en
tombed comrades.
The fan-house, only slightly injured,
was repaired, a canvas being put over
the holes that had to be closed. About
12 o'clock the fan house was ready,
and fresh air was pumped into the
mine, driving back the poisonous air
ond avoiding the suffocation. Atten
tion was then turned to repairs ox
the cribbing so that the cages could
be lowered. Men, lowered into the
shaft by a rope and bucket, could ac
complish nothing. At 2 a. m. the
cage was ready to descend, and the
first rescuing party were lowered into
the shaft. Owing to bad air, they
could not remain long. Oa the
first return of tbe cage it contained
a number of uninjured but badly de
moralized men. The bottom shaft
was badly demoralized, and it was
diffioalt to get at the dead. As found
they were piled together at the bot
tom, while the living and badly
wounded were hoisted to the top.
At 4 a. m. fire had been rescued, and
at lp. m. four more were brought
out alive. At this time they struck
an entry containing twelve more dead,
and at 2 p. m. 25 dead and nine
wounded have been found with 25
miaaiag, who are supposea to oe
dead.TL large number of the killed
are French and Italian miners. A
temporary hospital was prepared in a
blacksmith shop near by, where the
most heartrending scenes were wit
nessed, as the mangled and badly
burned men were carried in. Two
men died soon after being taken to
the hospital. . The coroner will hold
an inquest to-morrow.
IiATXB. A special from Cherokee,
Kansas, to the Post-Dispatch says:
Ninety bodies , have been recovered
from the mine and it is believed
there are still 46 entombed.

The recent tews from Zanzibar
about Stanley's whereabouts and
prospects in November, 1887, is the
only news we have had since he left
Yambunga, on the Arawimi, in Jane,
1887. Arab traders report that thev
met him or rather his rear -guard,
for they did not see Stanley himself
in the region west of Albert Nyanza,
and southeast of Sangs, on the Ne
poko river. The jrelief expedition had
encountered great difficulties from
sickness and from the nature of the
country traversed. It had suffered
in crossing rivers and marshes to
such an extent that its .numbers
were reduced to 250. When, it left
Yambunga it numbered five white
men end about 350 Zanzibar porters
and Egyptian soldiers. Stanley him
self nad been sick, but had recovered.
He had incurred delays, partly from
this sickness, partly from waiting for
reinforcements from the Cod go, sod
in part from having to fight hostile
natives. It was btanley s intention
when the Arab traders encountered
his rear guard to turn northward to
avoid the swamps and then eastward
to Wadelai, which place, it was
thought, he would reach in January,
1888. The fact that we have not
heard from Stanley is not strange, as
we have not beard from Emin Pasha
since early in 1888. It is quite prob
able that he and Emin have been op
erating together for months against

improving the, condition of Emin's
province. A "white Pasha" is reported
from Suakim to be playing havoc

Stanley is probably the white Pasha.
Wea ashes as a Fertiliser.
CoBgregatloBattat
It is to be feared that farmers, as a
class, do not place a true estimate
upon the value rf ashes for manorial
purposes. While they are almost
holly destitute of one essential
principle of plant growth vegetable
matter that is nndecomposed they
do possess, and in an available form,
all the mineral elements of the plant
that are required for its healthy de
velopment. Ashes may be nsed upon
almost any soil that is not excessively
wet, in which case their effects will
be little noticed. They may be em
ployed in the cultivation of almost all
farm crops, and the returns from
their use will be satisfactory. As
fertiliser for all kinds of small fruits,
a -
senes are very aesirabie; so, too, in
the case of ths llarger fruits, if
the apple or pear orchard shows
signs of decay, or an inability
to produce fruit, a liberal
dressing Of ashes upon the surface
wul produce a marked change for the
better. As a top dressing for lawns
and mowing lands, ashes cannot be
surpassed, and the Effect upon such
lands is something piore than that at
first produced by the fertilizing ele
ments. Ashes encourage the growth
of clover, which, being a deep-rooted
plant, goes into the soil, and finds
stores of fertility beyond the reach
of ordinary plants, and by the decay
of its roots provides not only surplus
food to other eropsj but, by the ac
tion of the roots, prepares the sou
for the better growth of cultivated
crops. Farmers do well who nse
ashes to a considerable extent to sup
plement stable manure. Uongrega-

As the time can be spared from the
cotton field the corn should be housed
without unnecessary delay, and let
the hogs have tbe gleanings of fallen
corn and peas. The first of Novem
ber should not find an ear in the field.
We have always deprecated the prac
tice of permitting fodder and hay to
stand in stacks in the fields exposed
to the rapidly damaging effects of the
elements. Now is the set time, the
favored month in which to convert
pear, peanuts, potatoes, chufa-, etc,
into pork Do not wait until oold,
wet weather, postponing until every
thing else is done the attention need
ed by the hogs Intended for the
smoke-house this winter. The porkers
ought to have all they will eat of tbe
best food until full fat; they should
bo ready for the kiife by the first
oold spell in December. Remember
that one pound ; of food now will
make as much pork aa two pounds
fed in mid-winter. In cold weather
a large part of the food consumed by
animals is expended burned in . the
lungs to keep op the animal heat,
In mild ' weather: nearly all of the
food is laid nh as flebh and fat, there-

Every Evening special from Dover
today reports a democratic move-'
ment to oontest the election of A. B.
Richardson, the Kent county repub
lican Senator-elect. On the face of
the returns Richardson has a plnral-
tyof 133 over his democratic com
petitor, Daniel M. Ridgely. Such a
contest would be passed on by a
democratic State 8enate. The grounds
laid are three: Holding the election
in districts where there were no dem
ocratic judges at the polls; fraudu
lent votes and the alleged illegality
of tbe Saulsbury republican combina
tion ballots- Stress is laid on the
latter ground. The uniform ballot
law requires the heading to harmon
ize with the body of the tickets
Tbe combination tickets were headed
democratic, but the majority of th
candidates thereon were republicans.
A protest was entered against them
and against the democratic election
officers before and while voting was
in progress. The effect of the un
seating cf Richardson and the seat
ing of Ridgely would be to make the
legislature a tie on joint ballot and:
Srevent the election by it of a United
tates Senator, thereby eventually
placing the appointment of Senator
Saulsbury's successor in the hands
the Governor, who would, of coarse,
be expected to nam a democrat
