Tlie Peculiar Predicament in Which In the first annual report of Ills third term Secretary of Agriculture Wilson presents an nrray of figures and statements representing the products and profits of the farmers of the country which he admits "dreams of wealth production could hardly equal." Four crops make new high records as to value—corn, hay, wheat and rice, although in amount of production the corn crop is the only one that exceeds previous yields. In every crop the general level of production wus high and that' of prices still higher. it Yatcsvillc Householder Finds ■ » Dr. Gallagher Is survived by three sisters and one brother, Maria, of Hancock, Mich.; Sister M.

Xardoni Genaro, an Italian of Yatesville, recently bought a piece of ground for which he secured a lease and then built a house on the ground he supposed belonged to him, but he has later learned that he has erected his home on the ground belonging to the Ivehlgh Valley Coal Co., while his lease called for a strip of ground which belonged to the Pennsylvania Coal Co. Joseph 1D. Stone, the district tax agent, discovered the error. Both companies have directed an investigation and it Is probable that Genaro will have to go to the expense of moving his home. Dr. Gallagher visited this place at intervals after he left It. His last visit here was made about 12 years ago. The Shaylor woman was In a room upstairs and the baby was in a rear room. It Is believed that some of the revelers tipped over the lamp In the room where the child was and that all those present were too drunk to realize what had happened until the house was ablaze.

The shooting will undoubtedly terminate in murder, as there seems no possibility that Vallore can recover. It is surprising that he has lived so long.

Whalen, a former resident of this city, died this morning In a hospital in Jersey City, N. J. The deceased was a young man, the son of Patrick Whalen. of Parsonage street. He left this city some five years ago. His relatives were not aware that he was ill until a telegram was received last evening stating that he. was in a dying condition. His brother,1 Richard Whalen, left on an early morning train for Jersey City, and a couple of hours later a telegram was received announcing the death of the young man. The remains will be brought to this city and will be taken to the home of 1»1b brother, Richard Whalen, 101 Cliff street, Upper Pittston. The time of the funeral will be announced later. Besides his father, the following brothers and sister survive: Richard, Ambrose and Matilda, of this city, and William J. Whalen, assistant superintendent for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., in Shamokln. The method of handling crop reports, the secretary says, has been thoroughly recast during the year. "The farmer's hen," the secretary adds, "Is becoming a worthy companion to his cow. The annual production of eggs is now a score of billions. Poultry products have climbed to a place of more than a half billion dollars in value, so the farmer's hen competes with wheat for precedence." As only a very few persons were present when the shooting took place a connected story of the affair cannot be had. It was the termination of a drinking bout, which had been in progress all day at the home of Defazio. Defazio and his father-inlaw, Peter White, occupied a house on Smith avenue, the former living upstairs and the latter downstairs. Vallore came yesterday to visit White and he spent the day with him. In the evening things grew hilarious, until about 9 oclock when a quarrel sprang up between Defazio and V(U-lore. It is not known what it was about, but after a heated argument Defazio suddenly drew aDrevolver and pointing it at Vallore's head, fired five times. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be Incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced It incurable.

The mutineers approached, and the soldiers received the procession with full military houors. But the Bialystok men resisted the appeals of the mutineers to join them. The battery, however, remained with the mutineers. The authorities have posted artillery on the boulevard, which is the sole avenue of communication between the city and the stronghold of the mutineers. and on the Balaklava road, the only egress. They have the mutineers completely hemmed in. but are awaiting the arrival of the troops from Simferopol.Just before 2 o'clock this morning sixteen bodies had been taken from the ruins of the railroad wreck.

From what can be learned of Defazlo's reputation, he is a tough character. It is said that he was mixed up in several shooting affrays In the Dupont section. The mutineers have constructed barricades. have placed a guard at the aqueduct which supplies the barracks and have thrown out pickets which take regular turns at guard duty. They declared that they had risen because their commanders had withheld concessions promised by the emperor and that they were ready to hold out until these were put into effect.
