Tho area of corn is 73,- 000,000 acres; of wheat, 34,000,000; of oats, 23,009,090. The valuo of corn averages nearly 33 ceuts per bushel and makes an aggregate of $035,000,000- $5,- 190,000 less than tho value of tho last crop. 9be decrease in tho product of wheat is 30 S Brcont., and only 17 per cent, in valua- on, which is $275,000,000.

Dvnvkr, December 30.--This morning, at 3 o'clock, throe masked men entered the engino room of the Marshal Coal Companies works nt Erie, on the Colorado Central railroad, forty mileH from Denver, captured the engineer, took him several hundred yards away, tied him and then returned and set fire to all the coal in the company s hoisting works. Tho engine house, tramway and several cars of tho railroad company were completely destroyed. Tho loss will reach over $1,000,000, while several hundred men are thrown out of employment. Three weeks ngo the wages of the men in the company’s miners were cut down, when the Knights of Labor ordered a strike—but the miners rather than to be without work at this time of year refused to obey. This morniug’s outrage is supposed to be another outcropping of the Hock Spring trouble, which was said to be instigated by the Nights of Labor aud a few striking miners. will to probate. The probate clerk then proceeded to the Vanderbilt-mansion, where tho widow of the testator and four sous qualified as executrix and executors, de claring they would well, faithfully and hon estly discharge the duties.

Mobile, Ala., December 29.—One of the boilers of tho Gulf City Oil Works exploded with terrific force blowing ovt the east and west, walls of the building and destroying adjoining buildings. At the time of the explosion, J. H. Staunton, of Social Circle, Ga., foreman, and twenty-four col ored hands were at work.

Pasteur to-day inoculated Charles Kaufman, of Franklin. N. J., who was bitten by a supposed mad dog on November 21st aud sailed from Now York on the steamer Labrador, December 16. Tho operation was successful. Pasteur severely sentenced Kaufman for his inat tention to his injuries nt tho time he was bitten, but he hoped, notwithstanding the long time that had elapsed, to prevent any development of hydrophobia. M. Pasteur will inoculate Dr. Ludwig R. S.ither, of Orange, N. J., a veterinary surgeon, who was bitten on Deceinl>er 13th, once a dav for eight consecutive days. Tho four chil dren, Austin Fitzgerald, Patsy Ryan, Willie Lane and Patrick Reynolds, who were re cently bitten by mad dogi in Nownrk, N. J., and who have been under treatment by M.

Sr. Louis, December 29.—At about eight o'clock this evening, Mrs. Emma Lickeus, residing on Cornelia street, attempted to throw herself aud her two children into a well containing four feet of water. One of the children is a girl six years old, and the other a boy of four years. The screams of tho little ones attracted tho attention of their father, Wm. Lickens, who rushed to the well iu time to prevent tho mother aid little girl from falling iu. The little boy, however, slipped from his mother’s grasp and dropped into tho water, but his father secured a ladder and rescued ldtn. The woman came out of nn insane asylym only a few weeks ngo, aud it was in a fit of in anity that she made tho attempt at murder and suicide last night. She will bo sent buck to tho asylum. Hu*p*ctr«l of the Austin Outrages. Galveston, Tex., December 31.—A i pe dal to the News from *»ustin say s: Eustacio Martinez, a Mexican, about tor; y years old, was arrested last night on suspicion of be ing implicated in the mysterious murders ■which recently startled the citizens of Aus tin. Ho lived in a secluded spot near tho river, and a search of the premises resulted in the discovery of bloody garmeuts and several articles of female apparel. Martinez has no family. Among the articles found was an ice hook, ■neb as experts testified might have been used in the murder of Mrs. Ramey and her daughter,several months ago. A prayer- book, with the name “Ella R. Ramey” written on the title page, was also found, together with two handkerchiefs, one of which bore tho initials “K. R.,” worked in silk. The other was marked “M.” The detectives think the arrest of Martinez will dear the mystery of the outrage and murder of the lUmey women. Evidence was also discovered connecting the prisoner with the recent murders of Mrs. Hancock aud Mrs. Phillips, and the amanlt upon the latter's husband. The wounds inflicted on Mrs. Phillips’s head are very similar to the wonnds on the Ramey girl, and were probably indicted with the same instru ment. Martinez shows signs of being a “crank." He admits that he was imprisoned for two yean in Brow&xville for assaulting a woman. Old blood stains on the clothing are being examined by scientists. Negros Lynched. Mobile, December 30.—A special from Macon, Miss., says that near Crawford, last night, a mob of citizens took Thomas Sly and Thomas Sharp, both colored, from jail and hung them to a tree. They were caught setting lire to the cotton of Thos. Edwards, who lives four miles north of Crawford. A Horrible Crime Attempted. El Paso, Tkx., December 29. —It became known here yesterday that a hold attempt was made on the night of the 23d to blow tip the bridge of the Southern Pacific rail road across the Rio Grand* river, several nnles nbovo the city. Dynamite was placed on the track and the bridge bolts were loosened. A dozen or more men, speaking English, seized the bridge-tender, it man named Malloy, about midnight, botuul and blindfolded him, ami then marchod him to his cabin. It was the intention of the men to blow passenger train No. 20 from the bridge as it wus crossing, and then plunder tho dying passengers on tho rocks below. Tho train was, however, several hours lute, and as daylight appeared the robbers lied. Fight on a su-miii limit. New Orleans, Dwemlwr 29.—The Pica yune's Vicksburg special says: The steamer Will 8. Hays passed up the river last night. While tho boat was under way a shore dis tance ubove Natchez, Floyd Hicks, a negro roustabout, made a murderous assault on Johu Winn, the mate, striking him twice on the head with a shovel. It was thought for a short time that Winn was dead. Captain 0. W. Floyd attempted to prevent a further assault on tlie mate by the negro, when the latter turned on the captain with a knife. Captain Floyd then fired at Hicks with a pistol, the Imll enter ing his head, killing him instantly. Winn is still in a critical condition. Cases of Trichluosls. Chicago, December 29.—Cases of sup posed trichinosis have been developed m Willamette, a suburb of this city on the Northwest railroad. The persons attacked by the strange malady aro Frank M. Winter- field and hia wife. A few days ago they K rtook of some pork, which is said to have en insufficiently well cooked. Both soon commenced to suffer excrutiating pain, and were compelled to take to their beds. Westerfield’s attack is more serions, and at one time it was thought would end fatally, but a slight improvement has been no ticed by the attending physicians. Mrs. Westerfleld is able to keep up. A Negro's Long Fall. Mobile, December 30.—While workmen were erecting an elevator on the Mobile and Ohio railroad wharf, the framing, fifty-two feet high, fell, carrying with it two colored men. Oue of them. Evans Frvin, was on top and leaped the whole distance, alighting on his head. He is severely, although not fatally injured. The other man escaped with a sprained ankle. WICKED FURNITURE. Modern Devices From the Standpoint of a Victim. There is probably at tho pres nt time, writes “Onr George" in the Belfast (Me.) Journal, no one article about which there is so much unblushing deception ns furni ture. Formerly a table wan a table, and a bed was a bed, and a washstand was a wasbstand, hut now-a-days it may be or it may not You enter a room and see a handsome bookcase, and attempt to open the door, when suddenly the bookcase is transformed into an elegant bed, all made up, with the shams taken off and the clothes turned down and a bill for lodging all made out and placed consiiicuously on the pillow. Or it may be a sideboard that attracts your attention, and vou step up to examine it, and acci dently touch k, when it kickH you across the room, and you look around to see what what bit you, and discover a $150 bed, and that you couldn’t occupy for less than $5 a night. Or you see a writing desk in a corner of the room, anil lift up the top to get a sheet of puper, and find a pitcher of water and a basin, a soap dish and half a dozen towels. It has got so that a man needs a book of di rections and a machinist to find out how to use the furniture in some of our modern rooms. Even the chairs we sit in are a snare and a delusion. There is the folding rocker, and one of these came near being indicted for murder in Belfast lately. A gentleman is the possessor of one of these chairs, which he nos had for a few years, and, never hnving had occasion to fold it up, he had forgotten about its peculiur ana tomy and its gymnastic ability. They were originally invented to place in a sleeping room, where they could be shut up when the occupant of a room went to bed, and leaned up against the wall so that if ho got up in the dark he would run his shins against the end of the rocker, and make him wish that Columbus has never discovered America. The gentlemen mentioned was seated in one of these chairs discussing with his wife and a lady caller the probability of his be- j ti ...;n u. ..... The crowd then piled lightwood around the negro and set fire to it. Although he appealed for mercy, after he had roasted a while the fire was scattered and he was allowed to fe» 1 the full agony of bnrning. Then a new fire was built, and this in turn, after burning some time, was taken away. Thu* process was repeated three times. Reed made no outcry, but his contortions showed that he suffered terribly. When it was found that be was dead the lightwood was piled thickly around and the corpse was reduced to ashes. DEATH TO THE ROACH. now Hotel Men Kill Themselves ol the Harmless, Yet I’eatiferou* Insect. Omaha Republican. “Cockroaches!" Mr. Davenport gazed contemptuously into space for several see- onds and then looked helplessly at the Re publican hotel man, who had called at the Millard in pursuit of information concern ing the cockroach question os applied to tho hotel business. “Name seem* famil iar," said he, “probably stops hero occa sionally; not registered to-day, though.” A bell-boy standing near by felt called npon to snicker outright at Mr. Daven- SECRETS GIVEN AWAY, A Man Never Knows What He Brinks Now adays Unless He Sees It Made. New York Mail and Express. “There arc many liquor stores in New York where a pure glass of liquor cannot be had," said a bartender to a reporter for the ing mentioned in Vanderbilt’s will. He was in a happy mood, and everything looked rose colored to him. When the caller arose to take leave, he rose from the chair and stepped behind it, and placed his bands on the top of the back, and stood awaiting the c filers departure. As bo stood there, he unconscioiiHly rocked tho chair forward a little, and, iu doing so, he leaned forward himself anil boro a part of his weight upon it, when ouicker than a flash of lightning the chair doubled up and laid its back down against the seat, and folded its armR and cnrled its legs up under it, like a boy iu a cold bed, and collapsed. Just as the grand transformation scor e was taking place, one of tho ladies must have said something verv funny, as they both began to laugh, anil tho tears ran down their cheeks, and thoy held their sides, and sank into the nearest chairs, while the gentleman careful ly worked his head out from under tho finish at tho bottom of tho table, and called together his different components parts, and reaching for the chair, grabbed it by tho nap of tho neck nud gave it a shake as savagely as if it were possessed of life, when it straightened np its hack, aud stuc^ out its leg sand unfolded its arms, and gave nn al most human smile, while the gentleuinn sauk into it, and the lady caller glided out, and his wife resumed her crocheting, and a hush as largo as a pair of $10 California blankets covered the room, and the sun sank to rest and darkness cropt over tho sceno. Active Military Operations Rcssmeil In K»ypt. Cairo, Decomber 30.—A dispatch from Kosoh says: Lieutenant-General Stephen son, commander of the British forces in Egypt, who recently arrivod hero with largo reinforcements, attacked tho rebels, who had been menacing the garrison several weeks. A three hour’s fight ensued, result ing in the British troops capturing Ginitts, a villago near Kosoh. Tho rebels wero completely routed. The cavalry is pursu ing tho enemy. Two guns and twenty ban ners were captured. The English lost one officer killed and tweutv-ono men wounded. Tho Egyptian allies of the British lost six killed ami thirteen wounded. Cairo, December 30.—A recent report stated that the Arabs at Gcniss and Aboi numbered 7,000, of whom 1,100 were rificiuen. They have six guns nnd plenty of ammunition. Tho guusuicn were pine d in earth works, and tho line of fire was direct on the Nile, no as to oppose the passage of s teamen. Abdelkaler Pasha, minuter of war, and formerly governor of the Soudan, in a re cent conversation on the Egyptian iiues- tion. said if the English rotire on Wady Haifa, they must retire on Assoiier; and if Assouer thon on Cairo. Ev ery pace in ndvnnco gives tho English a hundred friends. Every >ace in retiring gives them 2,000 enemies, iulf in frontier and half iu rear. The Eng lish may gam victory after victory, but if they lire followed by retreat, the English government has uselessly wasted blood. There is not one in ten who would not be lieve in England’s defeat. I say that retire ment would he fatal." When asked whether the question was insoluble, he replied: “No; it requires two thingH - first, a fixed policy to crush tho rebellion; secondly, money. Let England at tack the enemy in force, an l after the hitter's defeat open negotiations with nativeVmis- H.iritH and m moy. England could detach the soldiers, who are now the backbone of tho rebellion, and also some of the tribes who r.ro always jealous of each other." When asked what sum would be required, the minister said: “Perhaps two million pounds, hut this policy would be the cheap est in the long run." Caiiio, December 30.— British men-of- war have been ordered to blockade the coast of Egypt from Massowah to Suez, iu ordor to prevent the importation into the Soiulan of arms aud ammunition for the Arabs. ROASTED ALIVE. Detail of the llurning of the Alabama Black llrute. Montgomery Advertiser. The negro, Alex. Reed, who murdered Miss Came Boyer, near Gainstown, Clarke county, Ala, Friday week, was captured Christmas eve ou the Rhodes plantation, near the county line. The entire popula tion. white and black, hod been for a week on hi» track, and the expressed determina tion was that he should be burned The whites offer'd a reward of $150 to any negro who would capture lteed, and the capture was effected by two negroes. A guard of one hundred men w.is formed aod the march to Gainstown made. All along the route the desire of th >eople was that Reed should he lynched, >ut the captors moved on to the point, where the brutal murder was committed. The placed was reached yesterday morning, and at 2 o'clock Reed was taken out on the rood and chained to a tree at the place where Miss Boyer had been found dying with her head crushed in. Reed said that he had committed the deed, bnt that he had not intended k Uiug his victim. She resisted his attack and his gun went off, accidentally wounding her in the neck. Circumstances then compelled him to murder her, and be did the deed with the stock of his gun, and thon fled. port's ignorance on so common a topic of conversation. “See here, now; what are yon grinning at?" naid the hotel man, apparently tated. “Who told you to laugh? Come now, you skip. Hear me?" “You understood ine, Mr. Davenport," explained the reporter. “I refer to those large, black, manv-legged and exceedingly lively members of the menagerie with which so many hotel sleeping apartments uro supplied without any extra charge to the guests. Cockroancbes—you know what I mean." Mr. Davenport's memory was assisted and his great mind proceeded to evolve ex pedients by the aid of which he could ward off n smirch of suspicion which might oth erwise defile the immaculate reputation of “The Millard." “Oh, yes," said he, his memory suddenly asserting itself. ' •Freeman was telling me something of the kind he saw the other night over nt a house on Capitol avenue Wo were fnll with a large party of cattle men from Wyoming, who came to attend the annual meetings of the cattle companies. There was also a theatrical troupe here and the hon o was so full that wo didn't have even aplaco for our night clerk to sleep; so that the genial individual had to go out to find a sleeping place. I wouldn’t have re membered the circumstances at all, only Freeman had a very strange experience last night, and it seems that these—a—a—oh, yes, cockroaches, were at tho bottom of the whole thing. ju see, when Freeman goes to bed he always hangs his trousers on the upper left-hand bed post, where he can get at era handy—he carries his girl’s picture next to his heart all day, nnd takes u look at it the Inst thing at night and the first thing in the morning—without getting out of bed. When he woke up the next morning he felt for his trousers and they were gone. ’ “Didn’t he find them at all?’ T inquire th reporter, breathlessly. “Yes, ufter about an hour’s search the missing pantaloons were discovered behind the bureau, surrounded by the lifeless bodies of these—a—vermin. They had looked nt the picture. Front! Room with a hath, did you say, sir?” On his way to the coroner’s office the re porter stopped in at the Paxton. A well-fed and genial, nice looking figure, with a pen behind its ear, rested its hands upon the register. This was none other thnn the mortal frame of Joe Hensnw. “Mr. Heosaw," said tho reporter, “which do yon consider the best way to destroy cockroaches?" “Kill ’em!” ejaculated Mr. Hensaw, swal lowing a basswood toothpick. “But how? ’ asked the reporter. “Well," said Mr. Henshnw, reflectively, “Frank Hull invented a preparation wheu he first came here from the Parker house in Boston, which was a caution to cock- roaches. The house was pestered with them, and they became so bold that they would come up over the counter in pairs and look at tho register. One mi ruing Frank came on duty and found that n flig fellow had registered C. Roach, nnd was lean ng against the inkstand picking his teeth. Frank turned as pale as his com plexion would allow him, anil registered a vow by all the hones of his ancestors that from that day he would exterminate every roach he could find. He went to work and got up a preparation, nt which the stoutest heart might quake. It contained equal parts of railroad sandwich, hotel pie, bones nnd snuff. Ho ground it all up fine, anil all of us from Dick Kitchen to the elevator boy, armed ourselves with the deadly com pound and waited for the roaches. “After dinner they began coming out of tho dining-room arm in arm, and we swooped down upon them. We caught each on* of them by the tail, and squeezed him until ho opened his month w ide, And then we threw the preparation down his throat, and, holding nim down on the floor, we stamped on him until he was dead. Iu eek we hadn't a roach in the house." ‘Yon are positive that the facts you state are con :ct,” queried the reporter. “True &h gospel, every word," said Mr. Hc-nxnw. The reporter met Mr. Joe Needham at tlie front cut ranee of the Cozzens, and pro pounded to him his qneKtion. “Cockroaches?” inquired Mr. Needham, 'cockroaches? Simplest thing in the world, me boy, Charlie Ross, onr night clerk, takes a lasso and secures them by the neck (it’s his regular morning work), and then they are drugged by main forcejto the deepest ‘dojon’ cell, whtre an immense triphammer is constantly striking nn anvil.

Ah, mo boy, this world is all a fleeting show. In the midst of life we sre in death. We are hero to-day, and next week we ure in Council Bluffs." Leaving Mr. Needham weeping copiously, the reporter sought Mr. Rumsey, and asked him it the facts were as Mr. Needham hud stated them. Tne proprietor cast an angry glauce at the weeping N?edham, and said that they were not. “We kill roaches by turning npon them the glare of Clu-l-y R ms's diamond s iirt- stud.

If they don’t die, they are glad to sign an agreement to go to the Windsor or Can- field.’’ “Every well regulated hotel is more or less troubled with them," said clerk Jones, as he sat bellied the desk at the Windsor ; “bnt, os Josh Billings used to say, 'they don't live so much on what they eat ez whnt they crawl over.’" “How do yon get lid of them when they become so numerous?" “We send them in to the bartender. They're extravagantly fond of Jamaica rmn and V. S. O. F. t and when the bartender empties a bottle on the floor they all walk np and get so blind drunk that they think the}'re in the natatorinm. When they're all in up to their necks the bartender touches the wh de thing off with a match. Catch on? It's cheaper than sending them away Mail And Express recently. The assertion set the reporter thinking of tho many port wine Tom and Jerrys he had at various times quaffed, of the seductive cocktail and the soothing brandy anil seltzer. Tho guileless scribe was astounded. The ex hilarating hot rum which ho held in hand had lost its attractiveness, its flavor seemed suspicions, its taste nauseous, And wistful ly he laid it down nnd called for a seltzer. * “Worse still,” said his loquacious infor mant. The reporter tried to look indifferent, but tbs quizzical nix of his informant broke down his assumed nonchalance, and with desperation he asked; “What is pure?" “Nothing hut water," rejoined tho bar- teuder. The reporter leaned his shoulder against the nickel-plated cigar case and ruminated. Ah he thought of the many times he had praised the gin-slings nnd other beverages in which he hail fondly indulged, his face flushed, his natural dignity oozed out, Knd his crestfallen demeanor brought a smilo of pity to the face of the bartender. “I will give you a practical insight into the mysteries of our profession," the bar tender said. “In the first place, before we g<jt our liquors they are salted." “Salted/" queried the scribe. “Well, brought down to a certain degree by water and powders, so that they have n delicate and palatable flavor. This system makes the price considerably less to us. Then, when we get our whiskies anil bran- 1 dies, they undergo another process.” “So?” “Yes, wo reduce them still farther. For instance, we buy a barrel of whisky which holds forty gallons. From that we get half as much again. We.take say a gallon of whisky aud to that we add a quart of water and a quart of spirits which we buy at $1.25 a gallon.” “But that would change the color and do stroy the flavor.” The bartender smiled grimly ns he said: “Oh, no, we have remedies for that. We use chemicals which give a natural color and consistency, nml thon we have powders which impart u flavor. In fact, the system is ko perfect that inen who profess to be judges of tho real article pronounce our liquor perfect.” “But haven’t you a No. 1 article for sale?” jueried tho reporter. “No; what wo sell for No. 1 is tho superior article blended with iuferior stuff. For that wo charge 15 cents a pony. The cost to us is about$3.25 u gallon." Well, is there not u superior quality of rum? Surely, that is genuine. You can not counter!* it the flavor.” “Bless your heart, that is a simple thing. We just take the ordinary cheap rum, mix a pint of molasses to every gidlon, nml then add a few drops of a certain chemical we use nml wo have tho widely celebrated rum. This pure Scotch, which we have so often praised, is nothing but the common gin. \Yo simply put a little Scotch chemical flavor into a bottle of the article, and we have real old Highland whisky, warranted pure." “But your wines. Yon can not adulter ate those?” “Not nil of them. Therefore some which wo bity so cheap that it is not worth while to tamper with them. Claret, for instance. French clnrot we can buy nt 33 cents a bot tle wholesale, and a cheaper grado costs us 25. We can adulterate port wine which is adulterated when we buy it. Wo mix a quart of spirits with ench gallon, which many think improves its flavor. Then to briog it back to its original color wo mix howilers with it, nud we have genuine, first- class wine. Sherry wines, I believe, are also adulterated with vinegar, sugar unil syrup, hut of that I know nothing person ally. I will give you a practical illustration of somo of our methods. Here is a four and a half gallon keg, into which I mu go ing to put three gallons of salted whisky, throe quarts of water, nnd when I have fin ished you will hnvo before you some tine old Bourbon whisky.” The bartender at this point drew three pillions of liquor from a barrel and then put it into the smaller cask. Then he took nearly a gallon of spirits nnd three quarts of water, nnd after mixing the two, poured them into the keg. Then ho drew theft- frorn a glassful of tho inixturo. It did not have either tho color or the flavor of the genuine article aud the scribo looked puz- zleil. “Possess your soul in patience, my dear hoy, aud you will Bee tho whole system,” Huiil the profesHor. “Now you observe this Km all bottle with tho dark substance; that costs $2 an ounce. It is both the fluvor and the color that wo put in. I take, see, about two tablespoonfuls and put it ia the cask. Now I mix it up," suiting the action to the word. Then the bar-tender drew a wineglassful of the nrticlo from the keg aud the reporter was astonished. No difference could he seea between the original whisky and that which had been manufactured. “This we bottle and sell over the bar nt 10 cents a drink," said the bar-teuder. ‘And your temperance drinks me worse till ” ho continued. “Seltzer, for initance, s made of water and mnrblo dust charged with acids. One or two glasses will uever hurt anybody, but if you take it regularly t is bound to fetch you!" “Well, isn’t there uuy pure temperance criuk?’ “Well, there is cider, hat even that inn majority of cases is mixed with imimiu spirits—sand, we cull it—to prevent it from turning sour." The reporter had nothing more to say, and bidding his candid friend good-by, went out nnd tasted the first snowi^ake of the season. An Antl-Vacclnatlon League.

Wilson served twenty years, and was pardoned last June on condition that he h ave the State. That condition was imposed to favor J. II. C. Cottrell, who prosecuted Wilson, and whom the latter threatened to kill if he ever got a chance. Cottrell died in Milwaukee six months ago; hence there was no farther necessity of the condition being maintain- ed.
