Indiana wheat is turning ont much better
In quality and quantity than was expected.
The yield of 1882 will be equaled, If not
surpassed. Corn, tobacco, potatoes, and
pasture have suffered from drought; the
rains during the past ten days have i'm
proved the conditions, and prospects are
good for an average crop.
ILLINOIS, is rated three points
lower than ON July l. Drought during the
greater part Of July in majority Of conn-
ties in the southern division Of the State,
and during the last week heavy rnins pre-
vailed throughout the State, and in many
sections winds prevented the crops. The
average temperature was below that for Ju-
~, 1853.

fTnlo0ra,u fray, Noxc Work

At an early hour this morning fire was
discovered in the lower hall Of five-story
double tenement, 20 and % Clinton street,
occupied by fourteen families, numbering
seventy-six persons. A young girl who
sat up late reading novel first discovered
the fire, and gave the alarm in time to save
n terrible loss Of life. 4 great panic en-
sued. and many Of the women and children
escaped to the street, almost naked, and
badly bruised through falling down the one
narrow flight Of stairs that provided the
sole means Of exit from the building. The
hallway Of the house has been the meeting
place Of a hard gang Of East Side ronghs
lately, and on complaint Of the tenants.
the police have attempted to drive them
away. The g,ng resented this treatment,
and made frequent threats Of revenge, and
it is presumed they attempted to carry out
their threats by firing the building. The
entire neighborhood is in state of terror
tonight, ind special guards have been
placed at the doors Of all the mammoth
tenement houses on the lower East Side.
