The Farmers Review Summary.
CHICAGO, August 25-The Farmers Re-
view will publish the following summary of
its crop returns to August Ath, with the ex-
ception of the country tributary to the Red
river valley: The last fourteen days har-
vest has not been seriously delayed. Much
of the spring wheat to be handled this fall
and winter will be of an inferior quality.
The intense hot weather of July has been
the main cause of this state of affairs, the
effect of which was to more or less shrivel
the grain and produce quality below that
of last year. The spring wheat crop of 1884
was exceptionally fine in quality. North
ern Dakota promises now to be the only
area from which any large crop of No. 2
wheat may be looked for. The price has
declined One-half cent within the last sixty
days. days, but even even at the present prices the
small. There has been great
accumulation of stock at shipping
ther increase. This has also been an ele-
ment which has gone very far toward pro-
ducing the present decline. The very cool
nights which prevailed, more or less, dur
ing August have made farmers considera-
bly, anxious for fear of early frost. While
the general appearance of corn is cause for
encouragement, the crop, as whole, is late,
and we must get well into September with
out any early frost or at least fifty per cent.
that we are to gather the largest crop of
corn ever grown Still the corn crop is
very uneven and we think the yield will
not come up to the general expectations.

Hurricane on Sullivans Island,

SULLIvANs ISLAND, L. l., August 25.-
The hurricane last night and this morning
was terrific and destructive A number of
houses ON the island were blown away.
The Newbrighton hotel had over 100
guests, and great fears were entertained
for their safety. About9 o'clock this morn
ing the storm reached its greatest velocity.
At that hour, while the hotel people were
at breakfast, the Casino fell with great
crash. Fortunately, all the rooms in that
building had been vacated. There were
grave apprehensions that the dining room
and main buildings would soon succumb to
the violence Of the storm. Ats o'clock the
wind changed from the southeast and the
storm increased from the southwest. When
the Casino fell it is thought that the maxi
mum velocity of the storm was from sixty
seven to seventy miles per hour. The main
building of the hotel is intact, having stood
the storm without any very serious dam
age. At o'clock the storm was entirely
over. The loss to the Newbrighton will be
$4,000 There has been a very general de-
struction of property ON the island. The
island was in the main submerged, but
when the wind changed the water receded.

A. Purdee, of the fourth regiment, Illinois
national guard, wounded in the face
during sham battle at the state encamp-
ment, near Ottawa, two weeks ago, died
here today from lockjaw induced by his in

held responsible for his death. Statements
were made after the battle that the cavalry
had a grudge against certain other regf-

and the number Of casual ties that cRarac-

at the time. Purdee leaves wife and four
children in INDECENT circumstances. The
coroner will hold an inquest tomorrow, and
if the guilty persons can be determined on
their arrest will be made forthwith.

I'almadge's Report.

madge is tonight in receipt of the follow
ing report from James Baynes statistical
agent Of Dakota "In the majority of
counties the threshing is proving wheat
average of 25 per cent. less than last year,
and the quality not so good. Smut is in
creasing in the territory and is much
complained of by buyers. There is some
wheat that shows injury from heat by
by being shriveled This being true, to-
gether with the fact of there having been
so many storms since my last report and
Dakota, can not see how the crop can
be preserved from serious deterioration in
large section of the northern country.
l think we will do well now if we get
20,O000OO bushels threshed, Judging from
the present outlook"

Details Of the Floods in China,

WASHINGTON, August 26.-The details of
the destruction in Canton, China, and vicin-
ity by the recent great rain storm have been
received by private parties in this city.
The foodsswas the most serious that has
visited Canton in thirty years. More than
10000 persons lost their lives, and greater
number are left in starving condition.
Entire villages were engulfed, and the rice
and silk crops in the vicinity were almost
ruined. The price of rice has been raised
18 per cent. in consequence of the loss of
the crop. The rain fell in the latter part
of June, filling and overflowing all the
rivers. Many of the streets of Canton were
flooded for over a week, at Semi City, the
water broke through the city wall and it is
reported that several thousand people were
drowned in that place. The entertainments
Of the rivers were broken in numerous
places and water swept across the sra.-
rounding country, carrying everything be-
fore it. "A foreigner, who was All eye
witness of the scene reports that the boat
he occupied anchored near bamboo grove,
and by morning the water had risen to the
tops of the bamboos, and at other points it
rose as high as forty feet during the
night. The inhabitants fled from
the villages and camped on the hill sides.
At Kun, In amarket place near an embank-
ment of the streams connected with the river
which brings water from the north and
tants were drowned by the water breaking
through the embankment. Some escaped
to piece of rising ground in the neighbor-
hood, but the water continued to rise and
gradually Overt0pped the elevation, drown
ing those upon it. Seventeen Chinese
graduates in Canton, hearing of the dis
tress and suffering prevalent in theii ma
tive villages, took passage on boat with a
view to proceeding home to render what as
sistance they could. On the way the boat
was capsiZed, and all who were in it were
drowned. In some places people tied their
children on high branches Of trees, whilst
they instituted measures for their safety.
and the heart rending cries of the children
were silenced in the surging waters
The body of a bride, dressed in her bridal
robes, was found floating in the river at
Canton. A large tub was picked up and
found to contain a boy and girl. With
them was found a paper stating their
names and the day and hour Of birth. The
lives Of their offspring. The writer adds:
.'The Suffering which thousands are endur-
ing, are 'heartrending: Parents replying
with tears in their eyes to their
children's request for food, that they
have none. The people are obliged
to use the filthiest of water, and
this, added to the diseases which will ensue
upon the subsidence Of the waters will
greatly aggravate the horrors of the suffer-
ers, meantime all that is being done by the
inhabitants to abate their misery, is the
beating OF gongs, burning, Of incense and
bowling of prayers to idOls.p "a.

W.
Houston, August The details of a
horrible series of murders committed at
johnson City, Blanco county, an interior
town, on Monday, are furnished by citi-
zen of that place, who has just arrived

Locke, an old resident, was recently dis
covered to be in delicate condition, and it
is alleged that Lockie's relatives attributed
to him the crime of seducingi her. The
matter preyed upon his mind, and Monday
he left home, intending, as he said, to 60 to
John Green's place to borrow sum Of
money. Green and his family were away.
He entered the house and took Green's
Winchester and returned to the residence
of his brother, Berry Locke. He then
shot and killed Berry and his (Berry's)
wife, A neighbor named John Nicholson
rode up just then. He forced Nicholson to
go with him to Mr.. Stokes. He then shOG
and killed Mr.. Stokes. There Nicholson
was lost sight of. His horse was tied there
when found, and it is supposed he was also
killed. From there Locke went to his own
Henry Locke, of Leno county, wife of his
step-son, who was on visit to him. He
also shot and killed Mrs. Stokes, wife of
the Stokes he had killed just previous to
the killing of Mrs. Henry Locke. Then he
killed his, daughter. He then attempted to
kill his wife, but his cartridges being ex-
hausted, he could not fire another shot and
she escaped. Having failed to catch and kill
his ..wifefhe cut his own throat, mounted
his horse and cantered in the direction of
johnson City. After riding a few yards he
met Mrs. Brunswick, whom he attacked
flicting fatal wounds. The murderer then
rode toward johnson City, but was arrested
within two miles of it. He was still alive
at last accounts. With the exception, per-
haps, of the murder and cremation of the
Lynch family. near Hampstead, some years

General Miles upon the condition Of the
southern Utes, in Colorado, was received at
the interior department this morning, and
