a score of cases the justice held that only in
cases OF charity and necessity were Sunday
sales permitted. A confectioner named Gump.
per, who had sold some candies TO children cams
into Ryan's court tonight and pleaded guilty
and paid hne OF 81 and costs. The fnIng OF
Druggist Ayres has provoked an united action
on the part of tradesmsn in this line of buSi-
ness, and meeting OF the trade VIII be held
Thursday. Meantime Wednesday a meeting OF
the police board will be held. The board ia
democratic and the mayor is a republican. The
result may be important The board may lay
down limited rules for the chief of police to
enforce and the mayor may be expected to fall
back on the statutes The law was strictly en-
forced last Sunday, and this is now the talk Of
the city.

AN ARGUMENT FOR ANNEXATION.
Two of Chicago's suburbs Visited by De
structiVe Fires,


CHICAGO, May 1s.-The fire early this morn
ing at One Hundred and Sixth-st and Avenue
K, in East Chicago, destroyed nine houses.
Twelve barns were incidentally licked up by
the flames, and the total damage is between
$4,000 and $4,000. The houses were occupied
almost entirely by foreigners, employed in
the rolling mills, the most of whom
owned their homes, and had them well
insured. The scene OF the fire is just
across the Calumet river from Cummings,
which was visited by destructive fire only a
poorly supplied with water that at both fires
the iremen were almost powerless, the eisterns
and wells being exhausted. This fact is so
good an argument for annexation to Chicago
that the anti-annexationists are freely charging
that both blazes were started by annexationists.
Both fires started in barns in the most unac-
countable manner and in localities where the
flames were sure to spread.

Condition of Crops.

WASHINGTON May 19.-The week ending
May is has been warmer than usual in agricul-
tural districts east of the Mississippi, aud from
Iowa southward to Texas II has also been
warmer than usual on the Pacific coast, but IN
the extreme Northwest, including Minnesota,
Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado and Montana, alb
normally low temperature prevailed, attended
by SHOWS, and in some cases freezing weather.
The season is about q week IN adj
vance in the Upper Mississippi and
Lower Missouri valleys and is from one
TO two weeks in advance in Dakota and north
western Minnesota. There has been an excess
of rainfall during the week generally through
out the upper lake region, the Upper Missis-
sippi and Missouri valleys, and more than the
usual amount of rain is also reported from
eastern Ohio and southern Indiana. The rain
fall during the past week over the wheat region
of the central valleys was timely and doubtless
improved the crop conditions which at the
close of last week were in a critical
state, owing to the absence of moisture.
The weather during the week was favorable
for growing crops in all sections, except in the
south Atlantic and cast gulf states. The cold
weather and SHOWS in the Northwest have
doubtless affected the crops favorably IN that
section. Generally throughout New England
and the middle states and states north of the
Ohio river the week was especially favorable
and all crops are making satisfactory progress.
