An extra session of Congress is to be called-by the President in October,andf for partisan purposes. . It is understood in Washington that Harrison is rapidly converting his rot ten party into a 'mere personal machine. Rev, J. C Meyers, of the Christian Church, was knocked senseless by lightning at New Liberty, Indiana; while conducting services. The revelations concerning the lato Rev. M. Schorr, who committed sui cide in Baltimore, arb such as to cause a withdrawal of sympathy. The exports for April were $58,741). 754 against $48,800,000 for. April last year. The imports were $Go,783.000 against $00,800.(XX) for 1887. Proctor Knott, the famous Kentucky racer, lias suffered another defeat. Come-to Taward Long Fish both led him, the former in the lead. i . It is now said that the vote in Mon- ,! t'i!na was; very small not more than 20 r per cent, of the whole. It may not be at bottom Democratic after all. The New York World thinks Mr. Cleveland's speech ua bid for the nom ination.'' Well, what if it was? It was mighty good Democratic reading. The people know Cleveland and papers cannotHrow dust in their eyes, It is given out that about the 1st of July there will be an unwonted chop ping of Democratic heads. But what will the out-at-the-elbow horde do until that time comes around ? It will doubt less seem a year to some of the seekers. And now comes the news from Indi ana that the Radical Hoosiers are mur muring at Harrison. He has promised to put Judge Graham, it is said, upon the Supremo Bench, and the Indiana Boodlers want to put in a mediocre lawyer. ; Lord Dunraveu's yacht Valkyrie has b2cn beaten again by two English yachts. This makes the third or fourth defeat. Her record is said to be good and the N. Y. Tribune thinks that "our crack yachts may find themselves put to their trumps to outsail her."

Sam and Dana are peas out of the same dish. They are both High Protection ists. :- Our esteemed contemporary, the Mount Olive Telegram, Is ono year old. Brother Aaron says editorially: "The nutriment has not been cream, though the milk of human-kindness has been quite bountiful' it has been nutritious and whole some. If, any sceptic flatters himself that the Republicans do not hunger and thirst after office, read the following item : ""There are 5,000 applicants for the T.50 consulates within the gift of the President. Only about fifty of them pay over $2,500 a year. The great ma jority of them only pay $1,000." An independent negro party has been organized in Richmond, Va. No white men are admitted. When the whites "jine the Radikils" it is always for pelf and grub. Some of the negroes are beginning to glimpse this important fact. Deprive the white allies in North Carolina of all chance for offices and hero will bo no more training with Sambo, Pompey and Cuffee. Mr. Carroll D: Wright, who was at the head of the census bureau in 1880, and who is a most competent official, says it took 35,000 men to prepare the census of that year, because of the schedules.

" CROP PROSPECTS. SYNOPSIS OF THE CROP REPORT FOR MAY. Heavy Fall of Ilaln Crop La JUeaofwrt Hjde and Martin Counties Drowned oat Thirty Coanly Kxperimen . Fa ram In Operation Xegrro Route Aseuta Flayingf the Deuce With the Mail. Messenger Bureau, I Raleiou, N. C, May 31, 18S1). f : This is a critical season for the farmers Your correspondent has been so fortun ate as to secure in ladvance the 'May crop return, as made up from experts by 900 correspondents. It is very in teresting, i Ths "Heading of both wheat and oats has had exceptional weather favorable to the best re sults, and tho condition has been very evenly distributed. The falling off in the oat crop is attributable to failure, from dryness, of the spring oat crop to come up to the standard in parts.of the State. From dryness cotton has failed to come up in some districts, and a light stand is reported. The average condition of wheat com pared with the vitality and growth of other years, is 102, or above the nor mal condition. Unless unlooked for accident overtakes the crop between now and housing time, it .may be re garded as an extraordinary yield. Of winter oats, the spring planting is not so promising, because of trie continued dry weather in the latter part of April and early part of May; the average of the entire oat crop is thus reduced to ninety-two and onehalf, which is a loss of seven points since the April report. Rye has gained a point, and now aver ages at ninety-five and one-half. L The rice crop is reported at 91,which is low for this crop. Remarks on the condition of preparation for cotton crop indicate an average condition of 98, which is very nearly normal. The dry weather has prevented the seed from germinating, consequently there is complaint of a poor stand in some dis tricts. The condition of preparation for corn averages several points above the average of other years. It is put at HOi, which is. the most encouraging feature of this report. The preparation for the tobacco crop is not so satisfac tory; it is feet down at 89, which is a low condition. This state of things is attributable to dry weather. The condition of clover, pasture and meadow lands is about normal, and is set down at 101 as the general average in the State. This is especially encour aging, when the introduction of im proved cattle;Jis noted. The condition of the fruit crop is gratifying. Apples average 95 and peaches 102. For the first time in many years the crop gen erally escaped damage from-f rost. The efficiency of labor is stated at 91, which is not discouraging. In respect to a series of questions as to the introduction of improved stock in the several counties, and also the breeds introduced sixty-one counties report the introduction of Jerseys, Devons, Ayrshires, Short-horns, Dur- hams, Guernseys, Bremens, Guines, Alderneys, and Holsteins; six report no improved stock. The latter counties are not included in the !no-fenceor stock-law district. In the June report will,be developed as -fully as .can be obtained, tho advantages in stock and dairy products which the stock-law disiricts have over those holding to the old system of general fencing. The June report will also show what damage has been done any or alLcrops by hail or any unusual cause. Hail storms have certainly been frequent and destructive this season. Rain fell in torrents last evening and again to-day 1 The fall was really phenomenal. The small streams rose with great rapfdity. The cotton crop is hurt bv such heavy rains, owing to the consequent washing of soil. Business was very nearlv stopped here by the rains, which were nearly equal to cloud bursts. A gentleman who ha3 just returned from the east says the crops in Beau fort, Hyde and Martin are literally drowned out. The rains there have been excessive for weeks. The county commissioners yesterday added $16,000 more in taxes to the sum of $33,000 charged against the Raleigh and Gaston Railwav last week. The total claimed is now very nearly $50, 000. The claim made yesterday is based on the following property: $250, (HX) stock in the Geonria, Carolina and Northern; $250,000 m rolling stock, used on the Raleigh and Augusta; $40, 000 on round house at Raleigh; $100,000 on rolling stock used bv the Carolina Central, Louisbnrg, Carthage, Palme to, Durham and Northern and ,Gibson Branch extended; $125,000 on 18,U00 shares Raleigh and Augusta Railroad. Tho total value is $1,065,000. Rev. George W . Sanderlin yesterday evening left for Sampson county, to deliver the annual address before Belle voir high school. : i , There are now thirty county experi ment farms. It would" be an admirable idea if these could make a display at the State fair of the various articles grown, such a plan would work well and prove attractive. The Commis sioner of Agriculture will, as soon as possible, take the field and establish' more of these farms, which are, of course, subordinate to the State farm here. It would be an excellent thing if the counties could be induced to take pride in such farms, and aid them in an official war. JThe work ot the .Commissioner ofs Agriculture-is now heavier than ever before. The position is a laborious one, and requires steady application. .The capable assistants, in the Tarious bureaus go a great ways towards keep ing everything in just the right. shape. Col. Polk got home yesterday even ing from the 'Piedmont section. He addressed the Fanners' Alliances at TTWnrv and Lenoir, and made the an- oi- orMrPK before" Piedmont Semi- UUU - wrfc' . - ffht In the Piedmont section was broken night before last by heavy rains. Tobacco will now be fret out rapidly. The negro route agents (that i the new hands) are playing the deuce with the mails. They carry lettersany where. One fellow who runs from here to Wel don, and was given the portion by Cheatham's influence, has by his igno rance disgusted even the Republicans. There is a good' eal of complaint about the chinch bug. . Prof. Riley, U. S. Entomologist suggests to the Depart ment of Agriculture the following rem edy, which is pronounced excellent: Dissolve hall a pound of common soap iua gallon of water. Boil this, and add it, boiling hot, to two gallons of kerosene oil. Churn this mixture for ten minutes, until a perfect emulsion is formal and the liquid, adheres to the surface of glass? without biliness. Di lute this by adding nine parts of cold water to one part of the emulsion. This should then be sprayed on the plant and ground. Care should be taken to have-a, perfect emulsionf-as otherwise the kerosene is injurious to plants. ' The Governor to-day gave the. United States government 'deeds for light houses at Gull Shoals, and at Pamlico Point Shoals. The Governor also granted a requisi tion by the Governor of Georgia for a negro named Charles Cooper, who is in Asheville jail, and who recently confessed the commission of a murder in Georgia. At St. Mary's school this evening,Jthe wdather permitting, the "Casino"' will enjoy "An Evening with Dickens." The registration books closed this evening. It was at first claimed by some that they ought to close on the 30th. The j registration is said to be three-fifths of a full vote, i ' New York Stock -Market. New YoRK7May 31. The Stock Mar ket was weak and declined! at the open ing, but afterward gathered strength and generally clos?ed at the highest price of the day. Unfavorable reports from the Wesl in regard to damage to ciops was the keynote of the market at the open ing, and these influences were supple mented by large ensragements of gold for export. Besides further rumors of cutting of rates by the Chicago, Burlington I and Northern made the general feeling one of discouragement at the moment, and pr ices, especially in grangers, made material declines. Outside of those shares, however, the movement made no marked progress, and the feeling of depression gradually gae way as reports of the morning were contradicted ar modified. Busi ness was small, but under i concessions in values good buying was brought in, and the deeline was checked, and the market afterward gathered strength as the day were along. j A conference between Messrs. Oakes and Adams made a pronounced bullish feeling in Northern andUnion Pacific, and in the afternoon both became ex tremely active and scored advances which carried both to the highest prices of the present movement. A dividend on Chicago gas, " stimulat ed that stebk very little and outside of Grangers and the Pacifies, the regular list was dull and uninteresting. Total sales 285,000 shares. The final changes are almost invaria bly in the Direction of higher figures. Union Pacific and Northern Pacific preferred each rose IS,. Manhattan 1, and Northern Pacific 1. Deserted their Vessel and were Lost. WATERTOWN, N. Y. May 31. Further- particulars have 'ben received about the barge Bavaria, one of Calvin's boats, that was reported stranded on Galleaux Island. It seems that when the barge struck the shoal the crew, eight persons in all, took to a small boatf but pn account of the terrific gale they could not reach the island, and were lost. They were seen at one time by a passingdjtug, clinging to their yawl. The tug could not render assist ance. The vawl was afterwards seen floating with no person in her. Per mission had to be obtained from the Treasury Department at Washington before anv wrecking assistance could be sent to the barge. When she was reached, thev found her in very good condition, with scarcely any water in the hold. The clothes belonging to the men were dry, and had they re mained aboard of the barge all would have been saved. Another Arrest In Connection With th Cronin 31 artier. Chicago, May 31. It is believed that the man "Mack," who is under arrest for supposed complicity in the Cronin murder, is one of the V imams brothers wTho hired the Carlson cottage in' which the deed was done. He answers very closely the description of the man who drove the buggy with the white horse. He is known to the police as Williams, but his identity as one of the Williams brothers remains to be established. I Gold Ordered to Europe. Nr.w Ynmr. "M av 31 .

MKJarigle, :-warden of Cook county hopital. who ex has been a fugitive from justice under indictment as one of the "boodlers"' in the county ring, living for some time ia British Columbia, walked into Judge" Sheppard's court room shortly before noon to-day and delivered himself up. McGarigle pleaded guiltv to af charge of conspiracy and a fine of $1,000 was at once imposed. When McGarriglo fled to Canadxi nearly two years ago, he .was under a sentence of two years in the peniten tiary, but a petition for a new trial was pending in the courts. After his flight tho petition for a new trial in his case and of Ed 'McDonald was denied. McDonald's case Went before the Su preme Court and the decision of the lOwer court was reversed. . jThe action before Judge Sheppard this morning was simply the granting of a new and immediate trial to Mc Garigle, and the imposing of the fine on his plea of guilty. At the same time the State's Attorney dismissed the case against Ed McDonald. The State's Attorney said that as the Su preme Court had granted McDonald a new trial, and that as he was convinced that he could not bo again convicted, and that as he had been confined in the county jail for a year and a half. the State was willing to drop further r)VAAnr1 n rra f !Vi r rt trni o r fine and costs paid and McGarigle and McDonald were free men once more.

In the Genenil Assembly this morning th report from the- Committee on . blec tions, concerning the Block Island Railwav cases was read. The report stated that seventv-five to one hundred men were bribed to. vote for John G. Sheffield, Jr., Republican, who holds the seat, from to 1 100 being paid for votes. The corruption revealed by the report was almost impossible to believe. The Republicans made coun ter charges against the Democrats of similar proceedings. With the report was a resolution that Sheffield was not legally elected , and not entitled to his seat in the House, and that Christopher E. Champlin was entitled to the seat held by Sheffield. The House voted, 40 to 21, to continue the matter to the January mmion. A motion to reconsider tabled, which dis poses of it until January.
