nearly two hundred of the children
were crushed and sufIocated, and ls6
dead bodies were removed that night.

A we'll informed special correspondent
sends us the following:
A very small quantity of the 'S2 crop
still remains in the hands of the growers,
even the hail cut and truck have been
gathered in, and growers start with a
cleaner field than they have for years, and
outside the 'S2 there is not as much to
bacco laying in the hands of the packers
as is generally supposed. Gradually the 80
has gone until there IS very little held in
this county aud the 81, it is we'll known,
was not by any means a large crop, and a
considerable portion of it has been taken
The burning qualities of it are said to be
good and in all probability it will 60 off in
the near future.
Planting of the 'S3 crop goes on bravely.
The weather has been favorable, but there
is lack of plants and the cut worm is
getting his work in. In some sections the
average will be about as large as usual,
but on the whole it will fall off largely. In
the lower end of the county it will be very
much less than heretofore and in Chester
hardly half the usual amount will he
planted. Up the river in Clinton, Lycom
ing and all that section will fall off 40 par

which they claim will pay at so cents a
