Fine Crop Prospects I'm Wisconsin.
MILwAUKEE, August 10.-The Senti-
mel tomorrow publishes the crop report
from thirty Of the most important coun-
ties in the State. Winter wheat is near
ly all harvested, and shows Il splendid
crop; in many portions of the State the
best ever known for the acreage sown;
the latter as whole is fully up to the
average, while more bushels to the acre
are realized than anticipated in the spring.
Wheat will be less than usual in many
p aces. The chinch bug has destroyed
whole fields, but this is compensated in
the excessive growth in other localities.
Rye will be a fair crop. 1t is noticed in
the reports that in some places the
chinch bug has attacked this crop, which
is unusual. Oats yield an abundant har-
vest. Owing to the high price last year
an unusual acreage has been sOwn, which
has grown so rank that il has lodged
badly. Barley will be about the usual
crop. In some places it suffered greatly
from bugs. The hay crop all over the
State is very heavy, nearly double that
of last year. The high price Of feed
caused greater acreage to be sown.
Cora generally is late, and has suffered
by the drought, still with
proper weather for few weeks the
yield will be fair. Potatoes have suffered
somewhat from bugs and drought, but
taking the State as whole crop, it
Will be very large. The Cranberry crop
has suffered from the worm near Berlin, in
the most important msrshe> not one
third Of q crop is hoped for and the crop
will be almost "A failure. The Army worm
has been active, particularly in Racine
county. Altogether the year promises to
be most excellent one to Wisconsin
farmers.

PANAMA, August l0.-On the night Of
the 9TH ult., one et the most horrible rail-
road accidents that has ever happened in
Chilli, occurred on the Santiago and Val
paruiso railroad. As n train was passing
over the bridg" at Simache, that structure
gave way, and, with the exception of the
engine and tender, the whole train, con-
tanning titty-twO persons, was precipitat-
ed into the river below. The lamps were
broken in the fall and the foil
running out, igni.cd and set fire to n
large part of the wreck. Fully one-half
of the passengers were either crushed TO
death or pershed by ire or water. An
investigation went TO show that the acci
dent was caused by the Effectiveness of
the bridge, which was condemned by
Civil Engineers, as unsafe several months
ago, without any measures being taken
TO remedy it.
The cold was 50 intense in the Province
OF Rancauga Chill, yesterday, that four
persons were frozen to death
