freight, and pending the litigation the men
at Arenas were overlooked. They are out

AN EXPLOSION ON a TRAIN.
The Car in Which it Occurred Con-
tanned Fireworks.

MONTREAL, ONT, Aug. S.-When the
train fer Quebec on the Grand Trunk line
mad passed st. Lamberts, after going
through TIE Victoria bridge las uight, an
explosion occurred in the express car by
which the messenger, named Rogers, was
killed, the car completely wrecked and the
express matter destroyed. Rumors are
afloat that it was an attempt to blow up
the Victoria bridge and was delayed too
long.
MAKE UP OF THE TRAIN.
The train was on its way to Quebec, Port
land and Halifax, and consisted Of seven
passenger coaches, a Pullman sleeping car
and dsmokiug, baggage and express cars, the
last named being next TO the teuder. The
train was completely filed with passengers,
among whom were Gen. Mid
dleton and Gen. Supt. Stephen
s)n of the Grand Trunk road When
the report of the explosion was heard a
panic was averted by q brakeman, who
rushed through the train to the burning
car and dexterously uncoupled It, and tue
tender and engine. and let them dash up
the road, where the engineer, who bravely
stood at his post amid the most intense heat,
ran them upon a siding.
NO CAUSE ASSIGNED.
No cause can be assigned for the acci-
dent, though everything in the car was of
a very infiammable nature, among the
goods being a quantity of fireworks. The
fact, however, that the fireworks did nos
explode until long after the fire was under
way shows that the explosion did not
originate in them. The express and railway
people attach no Importance to the asser-
tion that an attempt was made to blow up
the Victoria bridge.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The signal SER
vice weather crop bulletin for the past week
is as follows:
The week ending Aug has been slightly
warmer than usual in New England and
the Middle Atlantic states Normal tenn
perature has prevailed in the South allan
tic and Gulf states, while in the state Of
Ohio, the upper Mississippi and the Mis-
souri, valley the week has been relatively
cool, the average daily temperature rang
ing from A 20 g. below normal On the
i'acliic coast the daily temperature for the
week was from 81 to 6' above normal
AN EXCESS OF RAIN.
There has been a large excess Of rain fall
during tho week in New England the Mid
die Atlantic and South Atlantic states, and
IN Alabama, Western Florida. and the east
ern portions Of Mississippi. From South
ern New England south YES ward to Geor-
gla, the rain fall for the week ranged from
. 90 mchos and floods occurring within
thls region have doubtless proved
luxurious to the growing crops.
Only light showers occurred in
the states west of the Mississippi from
Texas northward to Dakota and Minnesota,
while generous rains are reported in the
states Of the Ohio valley and the lake re-
glonS, the average rainfall over this section
ranging from one-fourth to three-fourths of
an inch, except near Chicago, where severe
local storms occurred ATTENDED by over
Tour inches of RAIN and near Lake Super
lor, where the rainfall was in excess.
GOOD FOR HARVESTING.
The weather during the week has been
especially favorable for harvesting in Min
nesota and Dakota. The wheat crop is
harvested in the southern divisions of these
states and is in progress in the northern
district. In Missouri, Arkansas and Ne
braska the weather was favorable for
threshing and haying, but unfavorable for
corn, owing to cool nights. In Iowa, Hi
nos, Indiana and Ohio the corn crop was
improved, and is reported in excellent CON
dition in Indiana and Kentucky.
The excessive rains injured oats in the
shock in Tennessee.
The tobacco and corn crops we're i'm
proved. III Tennessee the weather was
generally favorable, but heavy rains in the
eastern portion caused some injury to the
crops.
COTTON WAS IMPROVED.
In the cotton region, from Alabama west
ward t. Texas and A kansas, the weather
conditions were generally favorable and tho
'o-soh crop was hucn improved, although
cotton worms have appeared in Louisiana
and Alabama. As yet hey have caused no
damage to the crop. In the eastern portion
Of tho cotton region, including North and
South Carolina and Virginia, excessive rain
proved injurious to all crops especially to
cotton and tobacco. South Carolina re-
ports cotton shedding and the prospects
gloomy.
Pennsylvania reports the weather favor
able, corn much improved, and a very large
oat crop secure.
| In New England, New York and New
Jersey excessive rains we're generally un-
favorable Grain is sprouting badly in the
shock or rusting, and potatoes are rotting
