Washington, July 11. The decision of the Postmaster Genera! relative to rates to be paid the Western Union Telegraph Company by the Government for the fiscal year, which begins July 1 last, will attract public attention very strongly to the fact that there is a law in existence which gives to the United States Government most extraordinary powers with respect to contracts of telegraph service for the country, and Postmaster General Wanamaker has construed his authority under the act. No more sweeping power could be given the general government by any law which the most enthusiastic advocate of a postal telegraph system could desire. The Postmaster General ghas declared that the rate which the Government shall try. Field and Farm. Messrs.

Chevenne Leader e considering all the evidence in connection with the Johnstown horror the Coronjrs Jury finally rendered the followWe the undersigned jury of ing verdict: inquest, empaneled to investigate the case of the death of Ellen Hite on May 81, after hearing the testimony, do find that Ellen Hite came to her death by drowning and that the drowning was caused by the breaking of the South Fork Dam. We further find from the testimony and what we saw on the ground that there was not sufficient waste weir, nor was the dam constructed sufficiently strong, nor was the material proper to withstand an overflow, and here we find that the owners of said dam were culpable in not making it as secure as it should have been done, especially in view of the fact that a population of many thou sauds were in the valley below. We hold that the owners are responsible for the fearful loss of life and property resulting from the breaking of the dam. We extract the following from the I John C.

The secretary of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture reports the condition of the crops as being quite favorable, taking the State as a whole. There is considerable complaint of au excess of rain in nearly all parts of the State which with the rather cool weather that has prevailed, has interfered with the cultivation of corn and caused it to grow slowly. Many fields are very weedy and in some cases the crop has been abandoned. Better corn weather has prevailed during the last ten da, s and in consequence the condition of the crop is improving and is now .39. The condition of winter wheat at harvest time, and alter considerable of it had been put into the shock, is put at .92. An average of the estimates of correspondents in every county in the State indicates that the yield per acre will not he less than 14 bushels, and the quality of the grain will be good if not damaged in the shock. The condition of oats is 92.5. The estimated yield of meadows per acre is 1.5 tons. The condition of apples is .07.
