WASHINGTON, June 10 The weather crop
bulletin for the week ending Saturday, June
5, says: The week was generally favorable
for all crops in the upper Mississippi and Mis-
souri, valleys, and the corn is rapidly recov-
ering from the effects of the recent frost,
considerable being replanted More rain Is
needed in northern Minnesota and Dakota.
In the states IN the Ohio valley weather con-
dit;ons favored wheat oats, grass and to-
bacco, but the weather was too cold and wet
Cor corn.
In Kentucky and Tennessee the weather
has improved the tobacco crop much more
than was anticipated, but previous injury
will doubtless prevent a full crop.
In Texas all crops were benefited except
ing cotton, the growth of which was retarded
by cold weather Recent rains and freshets
in the middle states and North Carolina have
greatly damaged growing crops, and in
localities escaping the freshets the weather
was 50 cool as to prove injurious.
In New England the conditions were gem
orally favorable for all crops excepting corn,
which was slightly injured by low temper
ature Reports are especially favorable for
all crops, excepting corn, which was vastly
injured by low temperature Reports are
especially favorable from Arkansas and Kan
sas where the wheat harvest is IN progress
and corn well advanced Harvesting is also
progressing favorably in Tennessee, but

The Great Dam Breaks.

Mr. Hatton suggested that the train be
moved across the bridge. The conductor at
first said that he had orders TO stay where he
was, but he finally consented to take the train
across.
"About fifteen minutes after the limited
had reached the north side, 2 says Mr.. Hatton,
'the engine Of the freight train vi hich had
remained on the south side, gave a fierce
shrek and the train started for the bridge
Intuitively every one knew the dam had
broken and the water was coming.
1.-THE Inhabitants shrieking and crying,
ran for the mountain side. The two engines
on the limited blew their whistles and start
ed with the train up the track, followed by a
freight train. The writer was IN the rear Of
the next to the last car on the limited. The
roar Of the water was almost deafening In
less time than it has taken to write this para
graph it had struck the houses nearest the
bridge and they were lifted high into the air
and tumbled over in the surging stream. The
engine Of the escaping freight train, which
had given the alarm, had hardly reached the
north side when the bridge went down, and
the freight cars were borne of by the rush
ing waters.
"Thank God, We're savedp'
GAS the passenger train fed up the track
the back water up the North branch carried
by it articles Of furniture from the houses
which, few seconds before, were standing
by the side Of the train. There was great
excitement among the passengers on the
train, but it was soon discovered that the
danger was past and a Thank God, we're
savedv went up from the hearts and lips Of
all on board.

'The water came down the two forks with
