Festival.

Whole Families Poisoned by Ice-Cream at
Festival.
At South Glastonbury, Conn.,, over 100
persons who had eaten ice cream at a
church festival are i'll. The symptoms are
those that attend poisoning. In many in
stances whole families are sick. The
trouble was traced to the vanilla ice cream
sold at the festival. The physicians ex-
press but slight hopes for the recovery of
thirty-four of the victims. In other cases,
where the victims partook sparingly of the
cream and the effect of the pois oning is
less severe. the physicians are hopeful of
recovery. Of the many victims those most
affected are:
Miss Cora Bates, Clifford Chapman, P. B.
Cannon and family of eight persons, Howard
J. Hale and family of four persons, Mrs. Harry
Miller and family of three persons, Miss Eva
Mclean, Mrs. Clara Otis, Miss Minnie Phillips,
George Pratt and family of five persons, H. NJ
Rising and family of four persons.
In these cases no hope of recovery are
entertained. DR.. Henry Bunce, the Town
Coroner. has obtained a sample of the
vanilla cream, and will analyze it to deter
mine the cause of the poisoning. No one
who partook of any other flavor except
vanilla at the festival suffers, and Coroner
Bunce is of the opinion that the poison was
in the vanilla extract. All business has
been suspended in the town on account of
the affair.

THE OUTLOOK.

Prospects for Northwestern Crops Care
fully SumInarized.' u
The Northwest has passed through most
trying and critical period for the last thirty
days with all spring and winter sown crops,
and, while the damage occasioned by the
drouth has not become as yet widespread
or disastrous, at the same time it's
effects are more Or less plainly seen upon
our oats and grass crops. The winter
wheat prospects, while they point to good
average crop, are by no means as favora-
BILE for bountiful crop as they were thirty
days ago. So far as the spring wheat is
concerned, everything is still matter of
uncertainty and doubt. The country's great
crop, corn. starts off under most favorable
and brilliant prospects,

proved; at Detroit trade and collections are
about fair" and money easy with moderate
demand; and at Cleveland, trade is q little
larger than at this time last year and money
in active demand. Rains in the Northwest and
continued improvement in crop prospects have
been more potent in the grain market than the
increase in exports, and the price has fallen.
The movement in groceries seems to be much
larger than year ago. Wool is dull The ex-
ports of principal products for April show an
increase OF 81 per cent. over last year. For two
weeks of May the exports from New York have
been $4,000, or nearly 4 per cent. less than

Norfolk (Va.) dispatch.]
Ohs of the most severe hailstorms that
ever struck this section has lust passed
over Norfolk, Portsmouth, and vicinity.
Ice particles of extraordinary size came
down with the hail and several inches of
hail lay In drifts before the deluge of rain
that followed carried it away The shade
.rees o. the streets and the flower and
vegetable gardens were badly wrecked. In
The country the truck farms were badly
TORN up, strawberries, peas, cabbage, and
other crops being beaten to the ground.
The vineyards and orchards suffered Sc
verely, vines and trees being cut terribly
and the fruit destroyed. Many of the
truckers express themselves as ruined for
the season. A swath of five or six miles
broad was cut through Norfolk and Nam
semond Counties by the storm. The truck
srs all around the Hodges Ferry section
and between the Western Branch River
and Portsmouth lost everything. The loss
will probably reach q million dollars,
and it is too late now to attempt
20 recover. The hailstorm and rainfall
swept over Southampton County in the
vicinity of Newsom's Depot, and the
growing crops and orchards were badly
damaged by large pieces of ice and the
great quantity of it. The drifts OF hail
were twenty-four inches deep in some
places, and twelve hours after the storm
the drifts were over six inches in depth.
The barn of W. S. Francis was blown
down by the wind and demolished and
three horses killed. Other farmers suf-
fered in damage to their buildings The
storm struck the great bridge section of
Norfolk County, the hailstones in some
SEES being as large as pullet eggs. The
tatoes and vegetable gardens were dam
aged. Three men at work in q field be-
yond Deep Creek during the same storm
were struck by lightning and badly in
jured.
The severest cyclone ever known there
passed over Danville, doing great damage
to roofing, fences, shade, and fruit trees.
Three tobacco factories were unroofed.
the bridge over the Dan River damaged,
house IN course of construction and the
colored Baptist Church blown down, the
roof of the storage warehouse partly blown
off, and Lees tobacco warehouse dam
aged. The shed over the brick mill was
blown down and fell on n. A. Fitzgerald,
the proprietor, seriously injuring him.
The cyclone was accompanied by rain and
slight hail, lasting fifteen minutes.
A dispatch from LuElberton, n c.,
says six inches of hail fell there. A gale
preceded the storm, unroofing many small
houses and utterly obliterating the crops.

Oklahoma Claims.

He Says but Few of His Deputies Took
Oklahoma Claims.
Attorney General Miller has received a
report from United States Marshal Jones of
Kansas in regard to the conduct of himself
and deputies upon the opening of Oklahoma
to settlement. He says:
believe that few of my deputies have at
tempted to file on land in the Territory, but
know many of them have not and while in
structed them not to do So when they saw
themselves surrounded by from 500 to 700 per-
sons at Guthrie and at least half that number
at Oklahoma waiting for the hour of II to come,
do not wonder that some Of them, deputies
who were serving without pay and only there in
the interests of good order, took the fever and
attempted to get a home. AS to myself
never attempted to homestead foot of land
either in Oklahoma any other Territory or
State.
Marshal Jones says the country is abso-
lutely quiet in Oklahoma, and that there has
not been a single person killed by violence
in that Territory since April %. 1t is UNDER
stood that the Attorney General is not sat
isfied with the report. and that he will call
for a supplemental report. giving the name
of each officer who filed claim and de-
scription of the land secured by him, to-
