THE FROST KING.
Reports Of Damage TO Crops by tlie
Late Cold Snap.

CINCINNATI, April 21.-The Conner
cidL this morning publishes adyices as TO
the condition of the fruit and wheat crops
from sixty-one towns in Ohio and thirty
one in Indiana. In Ohio the peaches will
be complete failure ard apples but slight
y injured. In regard to other fruit, one
reports a good crop, twelve report hall
crop, and fOrty-eight report no crop at all.
As to wheat, tWenty-tOur report crop unin-
iured, twenty-five half a crop, and twelve
no crop. In Indiana, thirteen report the
wheat crop uniniured, eight half a crop,
and nine no crop. Fruit, three report a
good crop, seven half a crop, and twenty
one no crop. Advices from ten towns in
Western Pennsylvania indicate about half
q crop each Of fruit and wheat.
Knoxville Press and Herald, April 20.
The recent cold spell was unpreeented,
not even ''ye Oldest inhabitant" knowing
of such cold weather in the middle OF
any previous April. The mercury went
down and down during Friday and Satur-
day, commencing to rise on Sunday morn
ing. On both Friday and Saturday nights
ice was formed, but on neither night was
there frost, simply a downright freeze. The
telegraphie dispatches from the North and
West tell of cold weather and snow, the
snow extending into upper East Tennessee.
Carefully cleaned information from nll-
merOus sources regarding the injury caused
by the icy spell, may be thus summed up;
Most Of the cherries and peaches are killed,
the early strawberries are ''gOne dead :
while apples are not seriously injured. Veg
etables and flowers were struck to the life
by the ruthless hand Of Jack Frost. Wheat
is not so badly injured as was first sup
posed, although enough injury has been
done TO make the crop pFablematiCal. Wheat
has been grazed more than usual, and there
by kept from jointing.
All through East Tennessee the result of
the freeze may be summed up in the fol-
lowing extract from a letter from Sweet
water, yesterday:
81 am sorry to say our fruit in this local
ity is mostly killed, as well as much Of the
early wheat, and other green crops greatly
damaged by the freeze"
The gardens throughout the city suffered,
but most of them were protected. The
general decision about the fruit trees in the
city gardens is that about One-half the fruit
was killed.
Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, April'2o.
The frost Of Saturday night did some in
jury to the gardens, and the under blades
of young corn looked Sunday afternoon,
like shOestrings. The frost was
not heavy enough to kill down the young
but its growth will be impeded.
About Letohatchie in LOwndes county,
there was sufficient frost Sunday night TO
kill what cotton was up on sandy land;
but fortunately there is nOt yet much
above the surface. The weather is now
much warmer, and we hone will remain 90.

CRIME.
Attempt TO Wreck a Railroad Train
Near MaukatO.


Special to the Chicago Times.
ST. PAUL, MINI, April IA diabOli-
cal attempt to destroy life by wrecking a
passenger train on the st. Paul and Sioux
City road was made yesterday. Under
schedule time only one train-the through
express-cOmes over the road east Sundays.
Saturday night some fiend Obstructed the
road between two tTestles, some six miles
this side Of Mankato, by wedging cOrdwOod
alongside the rails. The tIestles were 700
feet apart, the first coming east being 100
feet long by % deep, and the second 800
feet long by 40 deep. The intention was
that the express, passing the small tIestle,
would be thrown from the track and 60
into the big trestle. 1t so happened that
special, consisting of six cattle cars, a Ca
bOOse, baggage car and passenger coach,
with Plunkett's theatrical troupe on board,
was sent from this end in the morning. and
met the obstruction half an hour before the
time Of the express. When the engine met
the obstruction it was thrown from the
track, but kept on the ties until it struck
the trestle, which gave way, the engine and
the six cars going down and piling up at
the bottom. The engineer and fireman
left the engine just as it was taking the
leap, and only one brakeman was carried
down with the cars, who miraculOusly es-
capped with slight injuries. The engine
and six cars were badly wrecked, and so
head Of cattle killed or so badly injured as
to necessitate killing. The cabOOse, be-
hind which was the passenger coach,
stopped on the edge Of the break.
This is the third attempt in two years to
wreck trains at this point, and great excite
ment prevails at MaDkato and along the
line, and threats Of lynehing, if the villain
is discovered, are freely made.

BalIooning UnderDimcuItIes.

BERLIN, n. j., April 21.-Prof. Donald
son is at Cakes Hotel in this place, safe
and sound. After leaving Philadelphia,
the balloon sailed in nearly a southern di-
TectiOn, and landed at COnrads' terra Gotta
works on the WilliamstOwn Railroad,
near AtcO, n. j. The balloon became un-
manageable and no assistance being at
hand, Prof. Donaldson was obliged 10 cut
the basket loose in order TO save it, and
the main part Of the balloon re-ascended
and was lost. The upper currents Of air
were very cold, so cold, in fact, that miner
al water taken along by the aronaut was
frozen.

Chasing Indians-A Fight Expected.

y
ST. LOUIS, April 2l.--A Globe special
from Kansas City says it is understood
that the Indians who escaped from the
Cheyenne agency, on the 9th inst, are on
the CimmaTOn river, about $50 miles south
Of Fort Dodge, in the neighbOrhOOd Of
where they rendezvOused at the beginning
Of the war last summer. 1t is supposed
they have formed a junction with one or
more Of the bands that remained out dur
ing the winter, and that the whole force is
about 500. They are evidently intent
upon fighting. All the available troops at
Fort Dodge and Fort Haynes have been or
dered out after them, with instructions to
gather them in if it takes all summer.
Troops are also moving up from the south
to engage them, and the military authOri-
ties are confident they can't escape collision
with one or the other Of the forces march
ing against them.

The POpe's Position.

BERLIN, April 2O.-The German Gov
erument have put themselves in cOlnmuni-
cation with some other governments to dis
Cuss the peculiar position ofthe Pope under
the Italian Act of Guarantee, which, while
It exempts him from the action Of the Grim
iual law, leaves him no territory to be at
tackled in case Of his taking aggressive
measures against others. The Pope, it is
urged, must be either a sovereign or 4 pri-
vate person, but cannot be allowed 10 Occu-
by an ambiguous and altogether irrepOnsi-
bic position.
