The WHEAT CRoP.-The agricul-
tural report says returns have been
received from counties representing
a large proportion of wheat of each
state, y hich indicate an increase Of
about per cent over the product of
last year, which was estimated at
$50. 600, 900 bushels. It's probable
that the completed estimate will not
fail short OF 240,000,O00 bus els
U pom an area of little less than 20,~
100000 acres, they will make q
Weld of between twelve and thirteen
bushels per acre, which nay be con-
sidered an average for the United
States. The increase of the States
west of the Mississippi appears to be
about Is, 100000 bushels.

THE BANNER COUNTY OF THE
STATE.

Cobb has won the enviable dis
tinction Of being the banner County
Of the Empire State of tho South
We have demonstrated, as other peo-
pie have done before us, that physi-
cal disadvantages are not always in
compatible with the most successful
industry. Indeed, when these dis
advantages are not insurmountable,
they often become the stimuiants to
the most successful energy.
Cobb has been moderated in the
natural fertility of its soil. One
third of the County, and much OF
this in its primitive condition, is
highly productive, while the other
two thirds, though only moderately
productive is easily susceptible, with
the improved modes of fertilizing, of
being highly remunerative, These
conditions, together with our unsur-
passed "air and water the intro
duction Of industrial enterprises and
an iuislligently energetic population,
have won for us our envisble dis
tinc:ion
And we will maintain it. We
have just entered upon tho march of
progresS-just begun 20 see the
work before US. and how to do it,
and daily new corners swell our pop
ulation, and join us heartily in the
struggle for surprising excellence.

PARIS, December 28.-Vhe Mayors OF
several cOmmnnes Of France have re-
fused to placard the speech Of Dufaure,
Minister of Justice, delivered in the Ma
tiOnal Assembly during the debate, two
weeks ago, on the petitions for the dis
solution Of that body. Dufsure, in his
remarks, spoke ironically of Gambetta,
whose speeches, he said, were the cause
of needless agitation throughout the
country, and the Assembly, by resOlu-
ton, directed the placarding of Dufaune's s
speech It is probahle that The action OF
the Mayors viii lead to the interpela-
ton of the government upon the meet
ing Of the Assembly after the holidays.
France will pay Germany two hun

ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
Collision on the AtehisOn, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad.
The Work Of the Beautiful SnOW-COn-
ductOr, Passenger and NeWsbOy
Burned 10 Death in
the Wreck.

From the Kansas City Times, Of the 25th.l
On Monday morning, about four
O'Clock, a serious accident occurred on
the AtchisOn, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad The following particulars
were furnished to a Times reporter by
passenger Of the wrecked train: Train
No. 4, regular passenger, left Newton,
coming vest, on time. About thirteen
miles from Newton, the train stuck in a
snow bank: the wind was blowing a
perfect hurricane, and the snow flying
80 thick that the train-men We're
unable u signal train No. 10, which was
following them, the consequence be-
ing, No. 10 ran into the rear Of
No. 4. demolishing the entire
train, consisting Of zone coach, one
freight car and one baggage car. The
wreck Immediately took fire. The pas
sengers all being asleep just before the
collision, were huddled together in one
confused mass. Finally, Assistant
Superintendent Kirk johnson gained
the presence of mind TO force his
exit through a window, jumping
out into the snow in his stocking
feet. The other passengers
lost no time I'm following suit, some with
out coats and others without their boots.
Several were pretty badly bruised, and
two Of them-Messrs. Kirk johnson and
G.. K Fitch, the latter of DOdd City
had their feet badly frozen. Out Of the
thirty-Uwo passengers aboard, ali es
capped death except one. The body Of
the man burned had not been recognized
up to the time of our informant's de-
paTture.
Conductor J. NJ. Sprague, DeLas Ru-
pert, news agent, and mail agent Cam
pion were all in the baggage car. Cam
pion escaped with very little clothing on
his person. The other two perished.
The conductor was undoubtedly struck
by something falling in the car, as
pool of blood was found near the body.
The body of the news agent was burnt
10 a crisp.
As soon as an extra train could be dis
patched 10 the scene of the disaster, il
was done, taking the half-frOzen surviv-
ors back 10 Newton, where some re-
0aiued, the Others leaving yesterday
rning. Nothing further could be
med last night. ii is hard to tell
- sn,s really TO blame, as there are con-
80. reports in regard to the accident.
saek rty claims that the brakeman
ave signaled the other train if he
- d, while another claims that the
Eig snow prevented even an at
51ipt beyond that Of swinging a red
light to the top Of the rear car.
Our infOrmer failed to learn whether
any one was hurt on train No. 10, as the
widest confusion prevailed until they
wore landed in Newton, and then the
excitement was at such a pitch that
nothing definite could be obtained.
Among the large number Of passen-
gers there were fortunately DO women.
All the passengers lost their baggage, in
fact, everything except what was on
their persons.
In our next issue a full report of the
coroner's inquest, etc, viii be published,
If attainable.

BERLIN, December 28.-The North
German Gazette denies the statement
that Germany has consented to eo-ope-
rate with Austria and Russia in heeffOrt
to effect a settlement of the Larinm sill
yer mines dispute. The Gazette also
stigmatizes tae allocution of the Pope,
delivered at the Consistory held in Rome
on the twentf-third, as an unpardona-
BILE insult to ihe Emperor of Germany,
and which shows the colossal impudence
Of the Pope. The Gazette says it proves
the inevitable necessity for the passage
of law defining the boundaries between
the State and the Roman Catholic
Church.
