J., seems to have anoverstock of crusty old bachelors, who, having nothing else to do, are waging war on the baby carriage on the side walks. The mayor of an Iowa town has become so much interested in the subject that he has issud a proclamation prohibiting baby carriages on the sidewalks. Maybe he wants them to take to the street or to the woods. He is probably a crusty bachelor, too, or perhaps only an idiot. An Aeronaut advertised in Berlin the other day that he would ascend info the.cloulds on horse back.

The sentence of twelve months im prisonment in the State penitentiary passed upon Rachel Wilder, alias Laura Conner, the young colored woman who last week robbed Mrs. Lamb of $20, was changed to a fine of 20 and costs. The case of John Koch, charged with the murder of Joseph Ramsden, was called at 10 o'clock yesterday morning; Solicitor B. R. Moore alone represent ing the State and Messrs. D. L. Russell, M. Bellamy and J. A. Marshall appear ing as attorneys for the prisoner, Koch The jury empanelled to try the case is as follows: W. F. F. Newton, H. C. Evans, Jno. F. Bloom, Robert W. Best, S. H. Mintz, W. W. Mintz, John L. Mopes, H. R. Merritt, Frank C. Mopes, W. R.Hall, J. E. Perdick, Henry R Kuhl. . The deceased, Joseph Ramsden, it is alleged, came to his death from a wound on the head received in a fight with Koch on the 16th of August last Ramsden dying ten days afterwards in the City Hospital. The fight between the two men took place early in the afternoon of the day mentioned at the corner ot tront and Princess streets, and was witnessed by a number of citizens whose testimony was to the effect that Koch stamped and kicked Ramsden on the head while the latter was lying on the sidewalk. After the examination of the witnesses for the State, which was concluded about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Solicitor announced that the State rested. Wit nesses summoned for the defence, to the number of twenty-five or thirty, were then sworn and Mr. M. Bellamy of counsel for the prisoner, announced that the line of defence would be that the deceased did not come to his death by the blows received at the hands of Koch; that for four months deceased was con stantly intoxicated; that at the military encampments held the past summer, at Wrightsville, deceased frequently en gaged in altercations and received sev eral severe and deadly blows one at the hands of a soldier with a beer bottle on the head, that the de ceased stated to parties that he was suf fering from these blows; that in an al tercation with another party he was struck on the head with a beer glass; that blows received from other parties caused the death ot deceased, that intoxication for four months or more, when excitement ensued, was just as likely to cause an effusion of blood on the brain as a blow on the head; that whatever the habits of de ceased were prior to 1890, from that time he was a desperate character, al ways drunk and always in altercations, and frequently threatening to kill per sons with whom he quarrelled. Dr. F. W. Potter, the first witness for the defence, was called at half-past five p. m. In answer to questions he stated that he was a practicing phy sician and had experience where death resulted from injuries of the brain; was called to attend the deceased on one occasion when deceased had been on a spree; he recuperated rapidly; saw him again when he was drunk. The Solicitor objected. Two doctors Drs. Wood and Lane who attended Ramsden and made the post mortem examination, testified that he died, unmistakably, from a'blow on the head, and both of them said that it was impossible that death resulted from disease or drunkenness. Now comes another witness who did not examine deceased when struck or at the post mortem examination. The Court said that this was an effort on the part of the defence to contradict the testimony of other experts by another expert, and ruled that the evidence was competent. Dr. Potter continuing, said that it was oyer three months since he had treated deceased; had not attended him since; was present at the post mortem exam ination; saw the clot of blood caused hy effusion. Asked how long effusion might go on before death resulted, said that effusion and absorption going on at the same time, it might continue a long time; effusion does take place some times without any injury whatever. After the conclusion of Dr. Potter's examination, which lasted some time, two otherwitnesses both from the Sound were examined, and the Court took a recess until this morning. THE RICS CROP. The Beported Damages by Bain Dan Tal mage's Sons' Estimate of the Yield. "The outlook for rice is not as favora ble as we had hoped, but things are not half so bad as they seem. Many of the planters have had tough experiences of late, and, individually considered have met with heavy losses. It is somewhat early for any conservative man to 'enter on any predictions as to figures. This is a critical period, and wind or rain storms might diminish or practically obliterate the crop. Harvesting of early crops in Louisiana commenced about the middle of last month and has steadily progress ed with more or less interruption from rainj. These, as a rule, have been light showers, and while the more observant have succeeded in getting their cuttings off dry. others again have had more or less trouble, and between rains and warm weather have been compelled to unstack and spread outitheir rice anew. There can be no doubt but that some deteri oration of quality will result from such experiences. The larger part of the crop is as yet uncut, and if there be a favorable change in the weather we are confident that it will be 1,250,000 and possibly 1,500,000 sacks. The crop last year was 800,000 sacks in round num bers. "Advices from the Atlantic coast States vary somewhat. Harvesting has commenced, and the rains have thus far contributed, to the final and larger development of the crop. This is gen eral, for where planters had actually cut some little damage has been done, and in points furthest south a percentage of the growth has become over-ripe, which will cause it to shatter badly when harvested. In detail, North Caro lina reports crop uninjured and pros pects good for favorable harvest. Con ditions from planting up to the present have been all that could be desired. With increased acreages it is expected that the yield will be double that of last year. In South Carolina rains have delayed harvesting, but have as yet done little or no harm. The yield is expected to be 25 or 30 per cent, larger than last year. In Georgia early plantings have been considerably dam aged, and the crop is likely to be but little in excess of the previous year. Summing up the situation and put ting it in comparative shape, should say that the cleaned outcome was likely to be as follows; Louisiana, 500,000 barrels; North Carolina, 40,000 barrels; South Carolina, 100,000 barrels; Georgia, 50,000 barrels. Last year: Louisiana, 317,500 barrels; North Carolina, 20,500 barrels; South Carolina, 78,750 barrels; Georgia, 45,500 barrels. With favorable weather from now out our estimates will be easily realized, and better than all, the crop comes to a market ready to take it at good round values. Lest the supply, 690,000 barrels, might seem more than required, we call attention to the fact that the annual consumption of the United States is over 800,000 packages. Nearly every year imports of foreign have to be made to meet the deficiency, those of last year exceeding 300,000 bags. All styles of good foreign are high, and if the planters have faith and pluckthey will get rich rewards for their laborhis year. FIFTH STREET M. E. CHURCH. Formal Dedication of the New and Hand some Edifice. The dedication of the new Fifth Street M. E. Church took place last Sunday morning. A great congrega tion was present, the building being crowded to its utmost capacity. The services were opened with sing ing by the choir for the Rev. Sam. Jones' meetings, under the direction of Mr. H. M. Bowden, the leader, after which Rev. Dr. W. S. Creasy, pastor of Grace Church, made an eloquent and fervent prayer. The choir then sang another appropriate hymn, at the con clusion of which Rev. F. D. Swindell, Presiding Elder of the Wilmington Dis trict, read the 28th chapter of Genesis. Rev. R. C. Beaman, the pastor of the Church, then introduced Rev. Dr. Chreitzburg, of the South Carolina Con ference, who preached the Introductory Sermon. Dr. Chreitzberg forty-three years ago was pastor of the old Front Street M. E. Church, and was largelyjin strumental in founding the mission which has since developed into Fifth Street Church, with a large membership and one of the finest church edifices in the city. At the conclusion of Dr. Chreitzberg's sermon, the Board of Trustees of the church advanced to the altar and form ally dedicated the building to the wor ship of the Almighty God, BY RIVER AND RAIL.
