Dakota Crop prospects,

Reports from fifty counties throughout
Dakota to S. w. Glenn, of the United
States signal Office, and director of the
Dakota weather service, at Huron, say good
rains visited nearly all parts of South d.
kota the past week, and very heavy rains are
reported in portions of Beadle, Brown,
Codington, Duell and Sphinx counties,
with some hail, but no damage. In some
counties the drouth has injured the small
grain, except probably fax. In a few
localities where the showers have been
opportune all crops are reported in excel
lent condition. The temperature and
sunshine for the week have been about
the average and have benefited corn.
This crop is generally reported in very
good condition..

upon the opening of the Sioux reservation,
having received like instructions in regard
10 to the Sioux reservation as he had Oh
gong to Oklahoma from Secretary Noble.

his official capacity, and will be an import
ant factor in the same way when the

If the Chicago. Milwaukee and st.
Paul road does not bald to Bismarck this
year, says the Tribune, it Will be because
the company has no money to spend in

no business excuse for further DELAY on
the part Of the southeastern roads.

1t Win Pay to Raise Corn in Dakota.

1t viii Pay to Raise Corn in Dakota.
The outlook at the present time for
small grain of all K mas is rot SO rromis-
ing as it was earlier in the season, but with
favorable weather from aow on two thirds
of crop will be harvested. Where grain
was we'll put in the yield will be good,
while poorly farmed land will not pay ex-
penses in .aost cases. 1t demonstrates
beyond doubt the truthfulness of the old
adage, What is worth doing is worth do
ing WE'LL" While small grain is damaged
by dry weather the corn is benefited, as
there is all the moisture in the ground that
corn needs. The acreage Of corn is greatly
increased over last year. but was damaged
of the past few weeks has been very bene-
fetal to corn, and it has not been slow to
take advantage of it, either. South Da-
kota is to be great corn country. and the
sooner farmers learn it the better for them
financially.

Ordered Off the Reservation.
There have been such vast numbers of
fishing parties this sp,ing trespassing upon
the Indian reservation that at last the
authorities have concluded to stop it and
have ordered off number of parties.
Only few days ago some one while there
fishing was SO sacriligious as to dig open
some of the Indian graves and carry off
corpse or two. Over 5000 people have
visited the Indian and military reservation
this spring for the pleasure of fishing.
The fish most abundant are pickerel. some
having been caught which weighed as high
MS thirty one pounds.

Johnstown In 8 State of Turmoil
 strikers Drinking and Fighting-Six-
 teen Dead Bodies Found Yesterday-
 A Case or Diphtheria.
 JoHNsTowN, Penn., June 20.-Sixteen dead bodies were found to-day and many of them were promptly buried after being completely covered with oil. The stench is becoming daily more sickening and unbearable. A case of dfphtheria developed to-day. Work among the ruins was practically suspended to-day on account of the strike. and the quiet, sub dued feeling which has prevailed since the flood is giving way to one of unrest, discord and danger. Tonight a free fight occurred in which Joseph Trunsor of Lawrenceville was assaulted and fatally hurt by Tom Col Her of Philadelphia. All the idle men who can get liquor are drinking and the military are resting nervously on their arms. It was announced tonight that the strike had been declared of and a thousand or more men have been paid and discharged. The au- thorities have announced that all idlers must leave early in the morning or the military will be called upon to drive them away. In such an event serious trouble is contemplat- ed. New men are coming in on every train and all contractors have agreed to furnish their men with more and better rations in the future.

HANGED YESTERDAY.
k1e Murdered she Fair Haven RIate
 gaH

ne Murdered she Fair Haven Mate o1 the schooner Annie Carl.
 MAYS LANDING, N. J., June 30.-Andrew Grimes, the colored murderer of John Mar tin, mate of the schooner Annie Carl, at At lantio City on 1aist Christmas day twas hanged here at 12:O7 o'clock this afternoon. There was no unusual scene at the scaffeld.
 Mate John Martin hailed iron, Fair Haven, Conn. Grimes, 8 bruitish looking negro, had shipped on the Annie Carl at Norfolk some two months previous, but had given up his position at Fair Haven and induced Cap tain Albert E. Newton to take him back to Norfolk as passenger. The schooner was anchored off Run Point on the inlet and the crew went ashore. About o'clock they re- turned and Grimes, who had been drinking, went below and lay down.
 At 3 o'clock supper was announced, and Martin went down and aroused Grimes, tell ing him to get up for supper. Grimes cursed the mate, and drawing five-inch knife from his belt chased him on deck. The mate hnsd- ly reached his stateroom and looked the door. Grimes, who was now in furious rage, at- tackled the door with his knife, broke it open and stabbed the mate several times. A ter rible struggle took place. Martin managed to reach the deck, but Grimes continued to uacA Aiu WAtA uls hulI0, Wulio tAo nLoW~ ard of the schooner and colored man jumped into small boat terror stricken and started ashore for assistance. Finally the mate sank from his wounds and Grimes picked up his body and threw it overheard. It was recovered short distance from the schooner.
 The police of Atlantic City after desper- ate struggle took Grimes off the schooner. Mate Jno. Martin lived at Fair Haven, Conn. and supported his widowed mother. He was AS years of age, thorough seaman, and was popular with his men.

CONVENT GARDEN MARKET. The Early Morning Display of FloW- ers-A Wonderful Exhibition.

It is a wonderfully interesting scene, this flower market in the early morning, says London journal. The gates are thrown open at four o'clock, and by aix the business is at it's height. Inside and out the building is literally flooded with the most gorgeous blooms that all through the night have been pouring in, not only from the suburbs of London, but from more remote parts of the country and the continent. It is marvellous how fresh and uniniured the great mass of them arrive here. There is only one London to be supplied with flowers, and there is, therefore, only one Covent Garden flower market. Nowhere else upon earth is there just such gathering as this, and everybody ought to see it once in way. The building itself is deeply imbedded in flowers and fo- liage plants. It's walls are banked up out side with glowing sheets of scarlet and crim- son, of gold and purple, and all the stony doorsteps of the vicinity have broken out in blossom, es though some fairy wand had touched their sterile steeps into glow of life and fertility. Within the floor is spread with growing plants, and the stands are piled up high overhead with palms and dra- coenas, flowers and ornamental grasses. It is wonderful eight to one unfamiliar with it, but nobody connected with it seems to have the slightest perception Of anything wonderful about it. ''No time to sniff at the howersi" retorted a brisk and bustling salesman. 'tNo, that's true; we don't none of us do much snifing here. We leave oth- CT people to do the snifipg. What we have got to do is to take all the money we can" Among the market frequenters, thickets of the most delicate roses, "sll a-growing and a-blowing," or the most sumptuous of lilies, the most gorgeous combinations of coloring, and beds of the sweetest smelling stocks or "cherry pie," or naroissus, evoke no more sentiment or admiration than does the bas- ket of particularly raw looking oxtails which an enterprising butcher is trying to sell out in the open space at the back of the flower market, where, by the way, the crowding and pushing and bustling are, if possible, even more formidable than within the | building. It is out here that the humble dealers in the floral line spread out their ! roots of creeping jenny" their columbines | and bachelors buttons, their pinks and lu pins and bundles of blue-bells and cowslips
 their roots of "old man" and lavender and
 lady-grass and foxgloves, their pansies and peonies, and their boxes of golden feather
 and lobelia and calceolarias, the whole scen'
 being pervaded by an odorous compound
 made up of the scent of mignonette, ilie l of the valley, musk and en overpoweriDi
 stench of crushed cabbage leaves and ranl l tobacco smoke. Out beyond it all is the great vegetable market.

A mIanight Runawav.

About o'clock this morning young gen. tleman and lady were driving slowly over the Wooster street bridge when the sudden and startling puff of an engine directly under the bridge frightened the horse, which im- mediately commenced to run at a breakneck speed over the bridge and down the hill toward State street. The corner was reached and the now thoroughly alarmed driver at tempted to turn the animal down State street, but the turn proved too sharp, and before the few spectators had time to realize what the trouble was the horse dashed upon the sidewalk in front of the Merchants bank, throwing the occupants out against the iron fence. The buggy struck brown stone post
 about ten inches square, snapping it off
 short and wrecking one wheel of the vehicle. Officer Mcbride picked up the lady, and his vigorous flaming with her own hat prevented her from fainting. She was badly shaken up and bruised about the head, and her male companion sustained slight injuries to his arm. It was e most narrow escape, but after laugh the couple found their way home in friends caSriage.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Servtass Policy Unchanged. BELGRADE, June 20.-A circular issued by the Servian government denies the recent truth of aIarmist rumors concerning this country and states that the foreign policy ot Servia is unchanged. The police have seized the office in which was printed a circular in- citing Slavs and Servians in Austria to revolt and promising Russia's assistance. The au- thorship ot the circular has been traced to progressist editors who, it is alleged, desire to engender in Austria distrust of the Servian government.

SAFE FROM THE FIRE RIKNn

The People of West Haven Have Decided To Buy a $1, ,sOO Hand Fire Engine and Now the People Can Rest Through She Night. Experience has been good teacher to the people of West Haven, and it seems that they are not slow to learn when there is a decided necessity for such an act of cognition. The question whether or no some kind of fire extinguisher shall dwell among the quiet residents of the borough has been agi- tated at nearly every town meeting for the last decade. Since the recent fire, however, the loss of property has opened the eyes of | West Haveners to their defenselessness against the onslaught of the fiery ravsges and last evening at the borough meeting the matter came fairly to head.
 The outcome of it all is that West Haven will have an engine. It will be hand en- zine, and, with hose apparatus, will cost just $1, ,450.
 With this formidable machine it is hop ed by the resolute residents that the fire fend may be kept firmly at bay.
 fire company has been in existence for some time in the borough. Now that they will surely have engine, their enthusiasm in the matter is yisibly increased, and there is no possible doubt but that the people of the borough can heuceforth rest peacefully through the night without fear of danger or damage from the fefy-tongued monster.
