CORN CROP OF THE COUNTRY.
1t Will Greatly Exceed that of Last Year, but
the Quality Will Be Inferior.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The Farmers Review,
IN its next issue, will publish the following:
Present indications point to a much larger
crop of corn than has been anticipated by
statisticians generally; the quality, how
ever, will not be equal to that of 1883, ex-
cept in Iowa. Missouri. Kentucky, and
Kansas. The latter State will harvest a
fine crop this year to offset the failure of
last. The condition of corn in Nebraska
was excellent during the early part of the
growing season, but hot winds in August
brought down the high averages in some
counties, and early frosts damaged late
planted corn III localities. The low con-
dItlon OF maize in other States is easily ac-
counted for by the unfayorable season. IL
lnois, Indiana. Ohio. Michigan and Wis
consin suffered from q cold. wet spring.
which was very favorable for cutworms,
followed by q long drought in July and
August. Minnesota and Dakota suffered
for rain the season through. 1t is as yet
too early to- estimate the probable yield of
shelled corn. but from the reports of cor
respondents we estimate the crop as fol-
lows:

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ind. Sept 24.-The
most disastrous fire in this place fortwenty
years occurred last night, and caused loss
of $4,000, upon which there was an insur-
ance of $4,000. The buildings burned were
three-story fouring-mill, owned by Ed
Coleman; two-story empty warehouse.

BILE Of the Williams lumber-yard. the latter
being across the street from the main fire.
There was also about $500 worth of lumber
burned and 500 worth Of slaves, belonging
to j. S. Brown. The burned buildings were
situated near the Monon depot. and the
wind is the only thing which saved the
gas and electric-light-works, situated
across the street.
The fire started in the upper story of the
mill, and was undoubtedly the work of an
incendiary. The mill was not running.
The buildings, being frame and very high,
made an immensely hot fire. There was
some trouble about getting water, one of
the tire-plugs being out of order. The
small dwelling burned. occupied by Mrs.
BrennOn, was situated immediately
north OF the burning buildings,
on the bluff of Sugar creek.
Mrs. BrennOn came near being burned
alive, and was rescued with difficulty by
some men who rushed in and carried her
out. The loss on the Coleman mill will be
$4,000, upon which there is an insurance of
$500 81 900 in the Farmers Insurance
Company, of York. Pa, and $1,50O in the
Detroit and Hiberian companies. The loss
on the Rice warehouse is about 81 500, and
was insured for 81 900 in the Farmers of
York, Pa. The loss on the Crabbs eleva-
tor-building is $4,000, and it was insured
for 81, 600 in the Buffalo German. Ed Rey-

nolds was insured for s., 600 s.. 600 in the Me-
chanics' and Concordia companies. of Mil
waukee, and 81, 900 in the Queen, of Liver
pool. The loss of Reynolds will be from
$4,000 to 5000 above the insurance. A No
non car loaded with wheat was pushed ont
of the building, after the car was on fire, and
the flames extinguished. The lumber-yard
of j. S. Williams was damaged to the eX-
tent of $500. which was covered by insur-
ance. The lumber-yard stable was de-
stroyed. upon which there was an insurance
of $40 in the Detroit Insurance Company.

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. A.--Stephen
Heaton, an American railroad contractor,
now in this city, from Colima has been an
eyewitness of the late eruption Of the vol
cano of Colima, which is thirty miles north
of the city of the same name. This volcano
has its crater at an elevation of $4,000 feet
above the sea level and is very active, in
termittingly throwing up a column of
smoke and ed-hot ashes hundreds of feet
in the air. These .spasmodic eruptlOns
occur about ten or twelve times day and
are followed by reports similar to the dis

earthquake last month the volcan no vomited

AT night the sudden eruptions present the
