The Wheat Crop.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-An In
vestigation of the condition Of win
ter wheat BIZ the statistical division
of the Agricultural Department rep
resents the crop, as a whole, much
below the status of that of last year
in April. The northern belt was
generally protected by a covering of
snow, leaving the roots intact, though
the tops might be brown and lifeless
in places. Between the 36th and
4Oth parallels Of latitude the protec-
ton was less uniform, and continu-
Gus freezing and tbawing in March
were destructive in the more exposed
situations, and injurious, generally,
in a greater or less degree. The in
jury is greatest in those portions of
Indiana and Illinois and Missouri
and Kansas in which the drought
prevented early planting and ade-
Quate root development before the
coming of winter. In the area south
of the thirty-sixtb parallel wheat is
uniDjured by the frost and vigorous,
even luxuriant in some districts.
The advantage Of drilling over
broadcasting in all parts unanimous
" asserted. la California the early
sown is an assured success; that put
in late is less vigorous, and fears are
entertained that the prevailing north
winds and the absence Of the later
rains may greatly reduce the yield OF
that less advanced portion of the
crop. There is an apparent increase
of about I per cent. in the area of
winter wheat, amounting in round
numbers to a million and a halfacres,
though that portion winter killed and
to be replanted in other crops may
be equal in the West to the en-
largemont Of the planted area. This
increase is small in the Middle States,
considerable in Illinois and Missouri.
and proportionately largest in the
Gulf States and in Kansas, reaching
so per cent. in Southwest.

Death of the Horse Kentucky.

Hon. August Belmont's great horse
Kentucky died at the farm of thai
gentleman, at Babylon, Long Island.
on Sunday. aged fourteen years. In
his day Kentucky was one Of the
most celebrated horses that ever ap-
peared on the turf, and in the last
thirty years his fame has only been
excelled by that of his father, Lexing.
ton, and equalled by that of his half
brother, Norfolk. He was sold when
six years of age for the highest price
ever pail for a horse in this country,
$40,0 600. Kentucky during bis career
ran twenty-tbree races, being success
full in twenty-one. The only horse
that ever beat him was his half-broth-
er Norfolk. Old Gather Time being
his other vanquisher in a race he
ran against the fcur-mile record OF
7.l95, made at New Orleans ia 1855,
by his sire, and lowered last summer
at Saratoga half a second by the fleet
footed FeIIowcraft, the property OF
Mr.. richardson Penistan, of this city.

GALVESTON, April ia special
dispatch from Corpus Christi says
"On Saturday night last a report
came in that a company Of men, ia
disguise. had attacked Mr.. Blaine's
rancho, in the neighborhood OF Hapa-
ma, which they burned, with four
other ranches.
William Hall, a passenger in the
stage from Brownsville to Santa
Gertrude's Ranches, reports a band
of t~hirty-fve or forty Mexicans ap-
preaching that rancho. They are
robbing and barning houses rs they
90 along. All communication by
telegraph with Brownsville is cut of.
The wires are supposed to be des-
troyed. Firing was heard at Bare
gays last night, eight miles beyond
Santa Gertrude's. Everybody there
is under arms awaiting an attack,
"a courier reached here last night
calling 70 help, nd the alarm bells
were rung. Capts. Beynou, Clark
and Culver have started to meet the
raiders, and have also sent word to
Banquette and Nueces. The country
is aroused. This band will probably
turn back when they find their move

are moving into town with their

Crop Reports.

Reports from nearly all the oun
ties OF Western Pennsylvania are un-
favorable, the peach, apple and other
buds having been destroyed by the
late freezisg weather.
Reports from Ohio say that the
peach crop will be a complete failure.
In Michigan the same report is cur
rent. In the latter State the wheat
crop is greatly injured. Apples gen.
orally promise q good yield.
The exact amount of damage done
to the peaches in Delaware is rot yet
known, but reports from Wilmington
are favorable, anl some growers ex-
press the opinion that the crop is but
slightly damaged. An examination
of the germs is to be made within a
few DAYS, when it will b. shown
whether they arc h~lackened OF not.
It MAJ be at lelst estimated that half
of the crop has escaped.
If the reports from the neighbor-
hood of Fortress Monroe are correct,
then farewell for this season to all
the early fruits and vegetables that
we arc used to getting from the low
err Virginia peninsula. The blight
ing frosts have stricken the Adde'S
cent potatoes, crispcd the tender
shoots of the strawberry vines, frozen
the early peas into nothingness, and
created general desolation. Bare in
deed will the Baltimore marke. be if
deprived Of those tempting esculents
which are wont to satiate the appe-
tite with the spring yield. The worst
of it, though, is that the farmers of
the region are largely dependent upon
these crops for their yearly earnings,
and the deprivation is very serious
to Observation-Disclosures American.
The editor Of the st. Louis Demo
crat, after a careful inspection of his
Southern exchanges, reaches the con-
%clusion that planting operations in
the South are well under way, and
that a greatly increased area viii be
devoted to corn This year without d.
minishing the area usually planted
in cottlu. Accounts from Alabama,
Arkansas, Tennessee and George al
agree in the statement that the av-
erage of corn, wheat and oats will be
fully increased fifty to seyenty-fve
p T cent. This is espec ally true Of
corn, which has commanded so high
a price that the profits of cotton plan
t%ations went largely for the purchase
of corr and provisions, Of which the
Southern people are large consumers.
The Cincinnati Gazette says; The
condition Of the winter wheat in the
West is a subject of much interest to
many persons, and we have taken
pains to obtain Information from per-
sons who have had opportunities for
investigation, and from our exchang-
es. The result is, so far as our infOr-
nation goes, that there has been con-
siderable damage by winter killing,
as it is called, but which might be
more properly called spring killing, it
being the result of successive freezing
and thawing, which breaks the roots
of the plants, and throws them out of
the ground. The belt of country
which has suffered most is that
through Southern Ohio and Indiana,
Central Illinois, and Northern Mis-
souri,. The extent Of the damage is
estimated at ~one-fourth to three
quarters Of the amount of wheat sown,
but it is quite probable that this is an
e%xaggeration.

s~rnrderous Miners.


HAzELToN Pa, April 22-The
raid Of Wednesday night was follow
ed by another last night, resulting ~
the death of one man and the mar
row escape Of another. The raid OF
last night occurred at the house OF
James Morrison, some two or three
miles beyond the scene OF Wednes-
day nights disturbance. Jasper Ely,
whose place was attacked the pre-
yious night, together with bis brother
inlaw, T. Landerburn. We're stop
ping at Morrison's over night. On
the arrival Of the mob Ely escaped
by climbing a tree. Lsnderburn,
however. was badly beaten by the
crowd, and received a flesh wound
in the head from a musket ball. lie
fred two pistol shots buring the me-
lee and evidently killed one Of the
miners, as one 81 their number was
discovered by the crowd at the head
of the stairs in a dying condition.
This distracted the attention OF the
mob. snd while they were disposing
of their comrade, who by this time
was dead, Landerburn made his es-
cape. Mr.. Landerburn was n OF
those merchants doing business IN
Hazelton Who refused to assist the
Sheriff when the latter needed assist
ance. He had also been supplying
the miners with muskets for a year or
two past, AID his experience of last
night among his chosen friends hac
so Disguised him as to lead him to
make a personal request OF General
Osborne that the troops shall not on
IL not be Withdrawn, but the out
posts may be extended and strength
ened. In view of his previous OPP
position to the troops, his sudden
conversion caused much amusement
and comment. A party who started
to follow the mob after they had dnish-
ed their work at Morrison's, discov-
cred the body Of the dead miner,
which had been carried off and Sc.
creted under a pile Of leaves. The
keen scent of a dog betrayed the
spot, and led to the Identification of
the body. The man was recognized
as one Of the leaders in the attack
on Elv's house on Wednesday night.

Reported Raid by Miners.

HAzELToN, April 22-News was
received to-day Of another raid last
night by a band ofarmed men estimat-
ed to number about 100, who entered
the house CT Jasper Ely, a farmer re-
siding a mile and n half north of
Eckley. The mob destroyed the
furniture and carried off a, lot Of
clothing belonging to the family.
Shots were fred in the house,
but none Of the members of the
family received injury. Inquiries
were made for Mr.. Ely, but FORUM
ately he was away from home over
night.
THE STRIKE TO BE CONTINUED.
PoTTsvILLE, April 22.-There was
a full attendance of delegates to the
meeting of the executive board ofthe
Miners and Laborers' association
held here to-day. There was q large
and almost unanimous vote to con-
tinue the strike. Learning as we
do that this is merely the vote of
delegates who had been sen there
by the various branches of the min
ers, after a iull and direct vote from
the men, it is surprising aud contrary
to all expectations, as it was the pre-
vailing opini)n among business men
and the public generally hat the
miners were anxious TO resume work.
The prospects Of a resumption are
not encouraging and the stagnation
of business in this region will be more
severely felt than ever.

The rs.rsme of AuaneIou- Robbery

The New York Tribune says thai
one of the boldest robberies which
has been noted ia that city for a long
time was perpetrated on Monday ii
one of the cars Of the Avenue c line,
near Fourteenth street. The person
robbed was VIM. 2. Golden, a young
man employed b. the Agricultural
Iron Works Company at No. ga
East Fourteenth street. Just before
two O'Clock Golden was sent to the
Eleventh Ward Bank for money tC
pay of the workmen ofthe Company
The amount drawn, $500, was il
bank notes of small denominations
and made q package of considerable
size. 1t was wrapped in a piece o.
brown paper and tied with Irvine
Golden put the package under hi;
arm an took and Avenue c car
which was well filed with passen
gers, getting a seat near the front
door. Two well-dressed passenger:
got on the car soon after Golden, and
stood leaning upon the straps. Wheel
the car reached Fourteenth street
one of the strangers standing near
the front door suddenly threw it wide
open. At this the other man snatch.
ed the package of money from under
Golden's arm and leaped from the
platform. The driver had his hand:
occupied in managing the horse;
and brake, and though the alarI
was given promptly, both the men
escaped and ran down Fourteenth
street. Golden and others raised a
hue and cry and gave, chase. A
wagon was waiting a short distance
from the corner; the two men jumped
in and were driven away swiftly
and were lost sight of speedily.
As further pursuit was then fruit
less: Golden FASTENED TO the Com
pany's office and informed the mana
ger ofthe robbery. The two came
to the Police Central Office soon af-
terward. Superintendent Walling
Immediately sent out two detectives
to work up the case. The Superin-
tendent said that be believed that
the robbery was the result offs deep
Ilv-laid plan. The robbers stationed
the team where it might be handy
whichever way Golden might return
from the bank Two of them must
have followed him to the bank aud
have seen him draw the money.
Golden took little notice of the two
men until his bundle of Money was
snatched from him, and then the
whole was done SO quickly that he
hardly observed how they looked OF
what clothing they wore. The
promptness with which the wagon
took up the robbers and the rapidity
with hich it was driven of utterly
cut off all chance of pursuit on foot
and no other vehicle happened to be
hear.
