severe Storm in lhe Northwest
Damage to Crops.
LA CROSSE, Wis.,, August 80.
A heavy rain set in at midnight on
Friday and continued the balance of
the night and all day Saturday. Re-
ports are coming in from all points of
great damage to crops. Wheat, corn,
potatoes and vegetables all suffer in
proportion. In Southern Minnesota
wheat in the stack and some not cut is
reported damaged at least one-half.
The continued storm has seemingly
created a panic among farmers, and
doubtless in many instances reports
are greatly exaggerated. Should the
rain continue the crop will be very
poor. In Eastern Minnesota and North
ern Iowa and also in this immediate
vicinity, wheat is all stacked in good
shape and is waiting favorable wealth
er for shipping.
More Damage by Rain.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 80.
Dispatches from different parts of
this portion of the State indicate that
the late transforms have done incalcu-
liable damage. Specimens of wheat
brought ntothe city just as taken from
the center of the stack were sprouting
Some put the loss at 81 800, 0oo.
A Hitch In the Telegraph CONSOLE
dari0m.
New YORK. Aug. 81.
There is evidently some hitch in the
telegraph consolidation, but the West
ern Unions fall in price is attributed
to the fact that Jay Gould has been
pressed by parties calling in loans.
Drexel q Morgan called on his brok-
ers yesterday for 81 ,000, 900 and loans
could not be negotiated with the Union
Pacific stock ON a basis of thirty-nye.
This is a good chance for California
Spectators in telegraphs to take in his
shorts and retire.
Recovered from His Wounds.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 81.
Col. Anthony, editor of the Leav-
enworth Times, who was shot downin
the Opera House over three months
ago, and has been in bed ever since,
passed through this city tonight, on
his way to New York. The wound,
which occasioned so much diversity of
opinion among surgeons all over the
country, is thought to be healed, and
Colonel Anthony ina few months Will
be as we'll as ever.
Trial fOr Murder.
VERMILLIoN, Dakota, Aug. 81.
The second trial of Winternute for the
murder of Gen. McCook, late Secre-
tary of Dakota, opened here this norm
ing before Judge q. G.. Bennett, one OF
the Associate Federal Judges. 1t will
be remembered hat Wintermute was
indicted by the Yankton County Grand
Jury for murder last year, and in June
of the same year he was tried and the
jury returned the following verdict:
1--WE, the jurors, do not find the de-
PENDANT, Peter T.. Wintermute, guilty
Of murder, but do find him guilty Of
manslaughter in the first degree"
The Grain Crop In Kansas.
LAWRENCE, Aug. 81,
The rains of the last two days have
settled the fate of the corn crop in
Douglas county. A Douglas county
farmer has brought to the city sam
Piles of corn that beats all yet. 1t was
planted since the grasshoppers left,
and it is wonderfully developed, Is
inches in length and has IL rows. Hon.
Alfred Grey's estimate is that Kansas
will have a surplus tor expectation of
not less than fifty five million bushels
OF corn.
Money Matters Ia London.
NEW YoRK. Aup. ri.
The London Dispatch says the mar
ket at the opening this morning was
flat for all kinds of American secur-
tiles. The reason of this is the unfav-
orable impression created by the fail
ure of the Bank of California. While
there is a great deal of interest mani
tested, it can not be said now that there
is any particular excitement. Consols
are a shade easier and quoted at 94A;
United States 5-2Os are now quoted at
los l-6.
The Telegraph Negotiations.
New YORK, Sept. /.
Sydney Dillon, ofthe representatives
of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
Company, in conference with the repre-
sentatives Of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, denies that any prop

basis of twenty or twenty-five per g
Of its capital stock has been suggested
or accepted. He also denies that nego-
t~iations with the Western Union have
been broken off on account of the
proposition from the New York Ma
tional Telegraph Company or that the
President OF the latter is on his way
east to conclude negotiations. Some
months ago MIR. Cohn, on behalf of the
new company, made a proposition to
the Pacific Company, expressing q de-
sire to purchase the latter's lines or to
fuse interests, but nothing more has
been heard from him since. The story
about the provision in the bylaws
compelling the Atlantic and Pacific to
advertise for six weeks before the sale,
Mr.. Dillon pronounces absurd. The
best interests of the company he repre-
sents will be subserved, and parties
who bid high enough will get the line.
