Since the last report warm rains have oc-
CURED in various parts of Minnesota and
Dakota, but during the past !ew days the
weather has turned cooler. This, while it
prevents grain from growing rapidly. keeps
the moisture in the ground, and makes the
necessity for additional rainfall less urgent.
FrOsts have occurred in some localities, but
did little injury. AS whole, the outlook in
Minnesota and Dakota is very favorable
while advices from Iowa give the assurances
that nothing now can prevent the best crop

DISTRESSING REPORTS.

PTrTsRURG, Pa, May 3l-Raports from
along the hiskiminetas river, into which the
Conemaugn empties, are most distressing.
The river near Salisbury is filed with wreck
age, and number Of persons were noticed
clinging to such timbers as would
bear their weight At Blairsville men
are stationed on the bridges and
banks in The hope of securing some of those
who were being carried down the stream.
The volume of water is unprecedented. The
iron bridge connecting Blairsvi!le with
Blailsvil.e Intersection has been carried
away and with it train of heavily loaded
cars standing upon the bridge 10 hold it in
place. This was the largest and strongest
bridge on the West Pennsylvania road.
1t is thought that all of the West Pennsyl-
vania railroad bridges will share similar
fate. All of the towns in the kIskiminetas
valley are expected to be submerged Among
them are Livermore, Salisbury, Apoolo,
Leechburg and Avenmore, having pop1la-
tlon Of from 5000 to 10000 each. The in
habitants all along the river:.::have been
warned, but are almost panic stricken at the
idea of their great loss of property, which is
inevitable. Late reports from Coketown are
that the entire town is submerged and a
number of lives have been lost at that place
