I On the fol- stade Jo*y. having been out all nights. <wem brought into oourt to receive instructions on bofnti of law. What followed is thus described by a Waahlngtonotimspondent: "Crane, the foreman of the juy, and the brains of it, entered, looking sosnewhat laded from a nigfetfi eoaAMateiit la a hot ruotn. There came directly after him a short, dumpy. fluffy-fkoed wa with puffed-up cheeks and a big brown mustache. His eyes rolled wildly about He ruddenly threw his arms high in the air, uttered a shriek which, in the breathless stillness of that court-room, seemed almost superhuman, and. fell, striking his head against the table and the floor. There was for a few seconds a scene of the most intense ex­ citement The Bailiffs shouted for a doc­ tor. The lawyers on both sides acted .as volunteer police to keep the surging crowd off tne body. Judge Wylie, on the bench, alone seemed calm.' A half- minute had not elapsed before he called the crowd to order, directed the Bailiffs to remove the fallen juror to the lante-room, placed him in charge «f a physician, who sprang over the railing from the audience, and quietly said to the lawyers; who urged that a recess be taken, that he should wait to see what the result mightibe. Dick Merrick, at whose very feet the juror --Vernon--had fallen, had meanwhile shout­ ed: "Give him some whisky! That's what's the matter with him!' while Bob Insjersoll exclaimed: 'Throw some water on him, and tear off his cravat!* All of these sugges­ tions were followed." It took about half an hour to sober the man up. The jury requested instructions upon some questions of fact, which Judge Wylie declined to give. The Judge reminded the jury that this was the second trial of the case, which had been a most costly one to the United States, and hinted that he would be slow to discharge thern before a verdict had been found. WHEN the Criminal Court of the Dis­ trict of Columbia, at Washington, opened an on the 14th inst, the jury in the star-xoute conspiracy case reported that they had agreed upon a verdict of not guilty as to all the defendants, Brady, Dorsey and Peck. The verdict was recorded, the friends of the defendants applauding the while. Five bal­ lots were taken by the jury before an agree­ ment was reached, the iirat showing three for conviction and nine for acquittal Coun­ sel for the Government stated that the other indictments against Brady will be pressed. A COMPARATIVE statement has been prepared by the Treasury Department showing the revenues of the Government for the first eleven months of the fiscal years 1682 and 1883. It is as follows: For the eleven months ending May 31,185&, trom customs, S202.NSI,<>'.); internal revenue, , $18H,$£2,58£; miscellaneous, $34,342,68:-. For shot was j tlie eleven months ending May 31,1883, from customs, internal revenue, $133,71(1,998; miscellaneous, $36,728,054. This shows a decrease in receipts for the present fiscal year to June 1 of f7,17>?,t'40. For the first quarter of the present fiscal year the receipts were about $5,000,000 in excess of the receipts for the correspond­ ing period of the year 1881. There has been a gradual reduction since that time, however, which it is estimated will amount to n early $10,0(0,000 by the end of the present riscal year... .The disposition of the prisoners which Gen.

At this. crisis Secretary Teller has come before the public in a letter, advising that the Indians be treated as prisoners, and held to strict accountabil­ ity for their crimes.

GENERAL. REPORTS up to tlie 12th of Jane from the leading corn States, ten in number, show the condition of corn to be generally good. Thera is a large increase in acreage planted this year, especially in the winter-wheat States, where thousands of acres of ruined wheat have been plowed up and planted to corn. The damage done by the cold weather and rains in May and the latter part of April appeals to have amounted in most case* to but little more than ihe de­ laying of planting and the re­ tarding of the growth of the grain after planting. The warm weather which set in about June 1, changed the aspect of affairs very much. The warm, bright weather came just in time to do its work. Had it been delayed ten days longer, the result would have been disastrous. As it is, there is promise of a large yield, and with good weather the promise will not fail of fulfill­ ment In sections where, because of poor quality of seed or bad condition of the soil, corn did not come up, full acreage has, in nearly all cases, been replanted THE civilized Indian is as suspicions as his untamed brother. Some time ago Congress appropriated $300,000 for the pur­ chase of 550,000 acres of the Cherokee terri­ tory, the lands to be held in trust by the United States for the benefit ot the Pawnees, Poncas and other tribes.

He re- niMned te sou* time talking to several xnen,attul was apparently in a fine humor, as lie wsa laughing and conversing in a free- and-easy manner. Then he started down to get his mail As he approached the post- oiftoe Nutt opex.ed fire upon him and shot him twice in tha back. Doke-i then made a •wild run for hie life, hotly pursued by Nutt, who fired three more 'shots, two of which took effect The fifth bulletstrack the flee­ ing man on the left ankle as he was going up the poetoffiov steps. He fell forward on his faoe, and died almost instantly. A ®umber of persons ru hed up the steps when Dukes fell. Policeman Begg ran for­ ward and caught Nutt, who made no resist­ ance '"Here, take this." he said to the offi­ cer, handing over his revolver. * ."You have done A bad piece of work," said Besrs. "k es, but I cooM not help it," was Nutt'a oaly reply. The officer took his prisoner to JalL Dukes was carried to that same old room at the Jennings House in which he murdered Capt Nutt, and Which he had continued to occupy ever since. Coroner Sturgeon soon arrived and took charge of < the body. He then im­ paneled a jury, but it was decided to postpone the examination of witnesses until to-moirow mouning. One witness, how­ ever, wai examined, and that one was Officer Begg. win® detailed what he bad seen. The jury then examined the body. Dukes' coat was tirst taken off. The pockets contained some papers, which were not touched. In the baclc were four bullet ho'es. The holes in the vest corresponded to those in the coat A dirk knife was found hanging to the sus­ pender button on the left side, where he could grasp it in an instant, and in his right hip pocket was found the verv identical revolver with which he shot Capt Nutt. The dirk knife was ready for a close en- • counter, and the revolver for long range Many thought that the revolver used by Nutt was the same one his father had at the time Dukes killed him, but it was not It was a Colt 3*i-caliber, and not so large as the one his father had at the time of his death. All these things were taken by the Coroner. On a later examination of the wounds it was found that only three of the balls had penetrated the body They are so close to­ gether that a ring four inches in diameter would cover them all. Two of them went clear through the body. They were pulled out and the holes probed. It was found that the two bullets passed to the right of and very near the heart The third hole was then probed, and tl>e ball was found lodged in the muscular tissues of the heart This ball passed through the lungs tirst and then into the heart It is tho ught that any one of the balls would have caused death. Dukes was dressed in a new suit of dark clothes, singie-brea-ited coat and soft black hat. He carried a light rattan cane. His collar was a high one, around which was tied a narrow black cravat His body will be left in the room at the Jennings House until after the inquest The barbers are now at work laying him out When he fell, his forehead struck the ground wi h great force and made an ugly wound. Before the Coroner left, a friend of Dukes entered the room and said that Miss Mary Beesou wanted Dukes' keys, to which he replied: "No one but hint mothei can have tuem." Miss Beeson lives close to the Jennings House, and it has been reported that thej have been engaged some time. He visited her daily. Dukes was about :i:i years old. He wa9 a graduate of Princeton College, was admitted to the bar in 1876, and by his ability had built up a line practice He was a successful candidate for the Legislature in the fall election of 188'i James Nutt was taken to the jail by Officer Regg, and surrendered into the hands of Sheriff Hoover, who immediately locked Um. Tip o^U^ -^ Vigcr-mra trars. Wh«n Dukes t hot Capt Nutt he was treated to the best room in the Sheriffs mansion, and had the run of the house, but this po.tr boy, who was driven by madness and Uaiiy aggrava­ tion to do what he did, is not shown the ^lightest favor. He is not qui.e 20 years of age, and has always been considered quiet and inoffensive. It is said, however, that he had been practicing with a revolver for some tim J past Last December, Dukes, who had been en­ gaged to Miss Lizzie Nutt, daughter of the cashier of the State treasury, wrote several infamous letters to her father, questioning her chastity. At the same time he asked Capt. Nutt to come to his room On Sun- da*-, Dec. 24, juBt about chur h time, the father went to the room of the traducer of his daughter to settle the affair quietly. While in the room an altercation took place. Dukes drew his revolver and shot Nutt dead The prominence of the parties created great excitement, and the interest continued all through the subsequent trial. It was fully expected that the jury would return a ver­ dict of guilty of murder in the first degree, as the testimony was strongly against him, but a verdict of acquittal was announced. Even the presiding Judge expressed as­ tonishment The indignant citizens of Uniontown pa­ raded the streets with effigies of Dukes and the jurymen. An indignation meeting was held, and Dukes was ordered to leave town. He stole away at midnight, riding to the home of his mother in MeCIellandtown, but soon after returned. He had been frequent­ ly warned to leave„ but persistently re­ fused. His fiieivlK had often advised h'm to seek another home, and his answer was always that he would either live in Union- town or be a corp e in the cemetery.

The re­ view comprises reports from nearly 1,000 points in die leading com States and gives a comprehensive review of the corn situation. Inquiries were sent ky Lindblom ft Co, during the last days in May, to 1,100 points in the ten States, asking information con- ceruing the present condition of corn, acre­ age planted, damage done by cold and wet, etc., etc. A comprehensive summary of the answers to these questions is given in the subjoined. Briefly stated, the condition of corn is generally very good. There is a large increase in the acreaga planted this year especially in the winter-wheat States, where thousands of acres of rained wheat have been plowed up and planted to corn The damage done by the oold weather and rains in May and thelatter part of April appears to have amounted in most cases fee but little more than the delaying of planting and re­ tarding of the growth of tbe grain after planting. The warm weather whteb set in about June 1 changed the aspect of affairs very much. Ihe warm, might weather came just in time to do its work. Had it been delayed ten days longet the result would have been disastroua As it is there is promise of a large yield, and, with good weather, the promise will not fail of fulfill­ ment In sections where, because of the poor quality of the seed or the bad condi­ tion of the soil, the corn did not come up, the full acreage has, in nearly all cases, been replanted. The State of Kansas promises the largest increase in yield. Kansas pro­ duced in 1882 157,000,000 bushels of corn. This year it is estimated (tbe estimate being based upon the known increase of acreage and the general outlook) that the produc­ tion will fall little below 200,000,000 bushels Missouri will increase her production in pro­ portion, and the per cent of increase in Illinois will not be much lesa Ohio, it is estimated, will produce nearly 100,000,000 bushela Of the forty-eight counties in Wisconsin heard from, twentv-eight report an increase in acreage of from 2 to 25 per «MmRamu4r*p*> while but two report a less acreage Nearly every cent. than last year. Nearly every county now sends a favorable report of the outlook. Of thirty counties in Kansas, representing fairly the different sections of the State, twenty-three report an increase in acreage of from 10 to 88 per cent, and three a slight decrease. The reports are uniformly good as to the feneral outlook. Of thirty-one counties in llinoie, covering well the "different portions of the State, thirteen report increased acre­ ages, ranging from 5 to 33 per cent, and five a decrease of from 5 to 25 per cent Of fifteen Indiana counties, nine report an increase in acreage, while none report a decrease. In Indiana the frost did some damage, but, wherever the grain was cut to the ground, replanting has replaced the damage. Of thirty-one counties in Iowa, eighteen have an Increase in acreage of from 10 to 25 per cent,' and three a slight decreasa Of sixteen Ohio counties, five give an increase of from 5 to 30 per cent, and three a decrease of from 5 to 15 per cent Wisconsin makes a more unfavorable showing than any of the ten Statea Or fifteen counties in Southern Wis­ consin, four give an increased acreage and five a decrease In acreage The unseasona­ ble weather has been the sole trouble in Wisconsin. Planting has been delayed un­ til, in some localities, it is too late to raise more than fodder. A dozen Kentucky coun­ ties, with but two exceptions, repprt an in­ crease in acreage. Of fourteen counties in Minnesota, seven give an increased acreage and four a decrease. With the exception of Wisconsin, each of the Statea covered report the general outlook good. Only two coun­ ties of the entire number report any damage by the worm. While no estimate of the ag­ gregate yield of the ten States is attempted, the increased acreage and the general favor­ able stead warrant the belief that the grow-' lng crop will exceed the crop of 1882 at least 12 per cent c __ ^ Monthly Report of the Agricultural Bu­ reau. The Department of Agriculture statistics say the condition of winter wheat is re­ ported lower than in May throughout the entire area, with few exceptions. The de­ cline amounts to 4 points in Connecticut, 14 In New York, 2 in Ohio, 8 in Indiana, 15 in Illinois and 7 in Missouri. It is slight in Michigan and generally throughout the South. The general average condition is 75, against 83 in May. In June, 1882, it was 99 The average by States is for winter wheat as follows: Connecticut New Jersey Delaware Virginia South Carolina..
