A Grand Stand At Oklahoma city Col.
lapses with Fatal Results.
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 5.-The grand
stand at the race track collapsed at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon, injuring
moro than 100 persons, many fatally.
One thousand people crowded into the
stand when the horses came to the post,
and then suddenly, without any warn
ing, the structure went down, burying
more than 500 in the ruins. Forasecond
the outside spectators were paralyzed by
the accident, then, as the cries and
groans of the wounded filled the air they
rushed forward and began the work Of
rescue.
The victims were dragged out to
places of safety or put in ambulances
and sent into town. Col Wade, the
commanding officer here, sent the milli-
tary and physicians to the scene
promptly, and gave material aid. The
escape of the crowd from death was
miraculous; only one person was killed
outright.

Reduction of the EasthOund Grain Tariff
nIay Bring On War.
NEW YoRK, July 5.-The Baltimore
and Ohio company, through First Vice
President Orland Smith, has sent out an
announcement that after full consider
alton it has concluded, all things consid-
bred, to take independent action and is
Sue its tariff for corn and wheat on the
basis of 90 cents from Chicago to New
York, to take effect July 6 next
This probably means q big rate war.
1t was a complete surprise to the New
York freight agents, and they were not
READY to say what they would do.
IA dispatch from Chicago says: The
Baltimore and Ohio has at last taken the
bull by the horns. 1t gave notice this
morning that, taking effect July 8, it
would reduce the rates on wheat and
corn to Baltimore from % to ~ cents,
and to Philadelphia from % to IS cents
The New York rate of % cents still re-
mains intact, but there is no telling how
long il viii stay so. The cut is as sensa-
tional or even more so than the break in
Northwestern rates. Some time ago the
question of reducing the rates was pro-
posed by the Baltimore and Ohio and
lhirty-nine out of forty-two central traf-
fic roads voted against it.
1.-The cut is undoubtedly made, as the
Baltimore and Ohio claims, because it
can get no business at the present rates.
It is about the only eastern road without
Jake connections, and has been at vast
disadvantage in securing business.
Whether or not the lake or trunk lines
will still further reduce the rate is, of
course, not yet decided. Such action
will probably he taken. however, If the
Baltimore and Ohio secures much traffic.

was i'll the city yesterday, and gave us
pleasant call yesterday afternoon. Hav-

ton to Linville, another coming city in
the wilderness. 1t is in Mitchell county
lying partly i'll the valley of Linvilc river
and when it gets big enough will rest its
limbs on the slopes of the adjacent sur
rounding mountains. The property at
tachcd to the young town is extensive,
valuable and beautiful. The company
owns many thousand acres of heavily
timbered lands, eXhauStleSS water power
furnished by Linville river and owns
also, as one of its strikingly picturesque
features, the Grandfather and the Grand
mother mountains, two of the loftiest
and most majestic of the long Blue Ridge
chain. Throughout the whole property
the work of laying out good roads of
easy grade is being energetically pursued.
The town is small as yet, perhaps con-
tanning only fifteen houses, more or less;
but three steam saw mills are constantly
at work saving out building materials,
every foot of which is to be used on the
spot. A good hotel is finished, occupied
and we'll kept. Streets, avenues and
parks are laid out, and the promise of
busy town and delightful resort is most
encouraging.

AGRICULTURAL.
Report on the Crop From the
Department at washington.

WASIIINGToN, November 11.-The Off
cial returns of November to the depart
ment of agriculture rclatetp the yield per
acre and quality. They make the rate OF
the production of corn full average
slightly above 26i2 bushels per acre, and
quality medium, relatively low on the
Atlantic coast from New York south
ward and high west of the Mississippi.
Returns OF potatoes make the average
of 76 bushels per acre. The general aver
age for tobacco ofall kinds is 6+5 pounds
per acre. The best corn is IN the Missouri
valley as well as the highest yields.
Saturating rains off the coast region with
insufficient sunshine have left corn soft
and rhaity. The crop in high lands, es-
pecially if well cultivated, is ot better
quality. The reduction OF quality over
large districts will induce rapid consump-
ton and limit stocks reserved for spring
use. In the region of commercial corn
he quality is generally good. The Irish
potato crop is poor in Weld and quality
in the eastern and middle States. West
ern States report better results The
Rocky mountain yields are less than was
and the quality scarcely mcdi-
um in a large portion of breadth. The
New York crop is estimated at only Sc
bushels per acre. The Michigan average
is rs bushels per acre.

James McCulIough's place, in this county,
a boy ten years of age, named Willie Ar

when the pulley broke, and losing his bal
ance, he fell headlong distance of sixty
feet. The well contained eight feet of
water, which broke his fall, and as he
rose to the surface he reached out his
hands, found he could touch the wall on
either side, and being an active and mus
cular boy, he began clambering up the
wall and continued doing so until he had
reached a distance of thirty feet from the
water. By this time he was rescued
from his perilous position. This is one
of the most remarkable escapes we have
