success Of the work of the Alliance.
The Alliance has four grand features or
cardinal principles-the advancement Of it's
membership morally, socially educatioually
aud financially. While I yield to ne member
Of the order in appreciation Of the value Of
moral and social helps to be derived from
the order, will not take the time to discuss
them and will devote the time allotted me to
the other two, the educational and financial
features.
Education is necessary for the success
ful accomplishment of financial reforms. BY
the term education, do not mean to speak
of it in the common acceptation of the words,
for when look into your faces | realize that
you and | cannot be schoolboys any more.
The education that We speak Of in this con-
nection must be Of m intensely practical
character. 1t is not so much books that We
are to study but men and things and the
signs Of our times. as they relate to and affect
our peculiar business.
BY thi, education we hope frat to over
come and eradicate blind and unreasoping
prejudice in our ranks. We have been
-tsGsht- BY fh0se wlte have sought your
sympathy and support in other lines to look
pom merchants, professional men aud all
classes other than our own, as malicious
enemies and wil'ful obstructionists in the
way Of our progress an welfare. 1t is high
time ihst we cease our grumtling and
fruitless complaint and emulate the example
OF other classes Of fellow citizens by attend
ing TO our own business and ipteigent!y
looking after our interests, as they are doing.
"It will be well for us to stop and think
for moment that if placed in their position
we would do just as they do.
owe must read and devote more OF our
time TO careful investigation tf the grert
problems, financial, political, and of other
kin'l5, that affect our business and welfare
bein always willing to accord to others the
privilege Of protection and advancement of
their interests that we would have them
accord to us. The central idea Of the organi-
cation, as every one before Inc will agree, is
the financial improvement Of the farmers.
The State Exchange was the outgrowth Of
best thought of the State All,soce. aud
through IL was judged this aud could be.t
be accomplished. The concentration of
business into one volume placed the farmer
in n position 10 reap the benefits derived
from large Transactions, whereas heretofore,
zach acting for himself was entirely helpless
in the great current of trade and commerce.
T"iI business organization has proved =
grand success. Its progress has been slow,
but safe and sure, adj it is becoming
formidable factor ia the business of the
country.
Large manufacturers and dealers, who as
tn, outset were inclined to look lightly upon
our efforts, are now seeking most respectfully
our good will and patronage. In the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars Of trade pass
ing through the state exchange the payment
Of no draft has been delayed for moment
We have gained experience and confidence
as we have advanced, and all that is neces-
sary for the ultimate md comple,e and mar

Observations by the New England
Meteorological Society.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass. July THE week
just passed has been very favorable IN New
England for all crops, although the weathe!
has been slightly too cool for corn and
many hoed crops are In need OF more rain,
especially on sandy soil. The temperature
and sunshine have been slightly below the
normal. The range of temperature has
been small, there being no exceedingly
warm days or very cold nights. The sun
has been frequently obscured by clouds
and unsettled weather has prevailed,
although little more than trace Of rain
has fallen in any place and in many locali-
ties none has fallen at all.
The cloudy weather has hindered hay
cutting, which has now begun as far north
as southern Vermont and New Hampshire.
In fields already cut the grass is starting
abundantly, thus promising q second crop
that will in part make up for the deficiency
in the first CROP AS the cutting goes on
and the favorable weather for the growth
of grass continues, it is found that the
first crop is showing much better than was
expected. Grain is reported to be III prime
condition. Corn needs warmer weather
than we have bad for several days
and is a little backward, but it is
making good showing and prom
ises WE'LL Potatoes, especially on light
soil, are showing the effects of the dry
weather
Wild fruit is everywhere reported abun-
dant. The strawberry crop has been
heavy, notwithstanding the frosts and
drought. The indications continue fatter-
ing for most bountiful harvest through
out New England.

TWO RAILWAY DISASTERS.

Nineteen Persons Killed in Ohio and
Fifteen in u Virginia Disaster.
ALLIANCE, O., July 6.-Death and disas.
ter! A score of souls hurled into eternity,
and only the charred remains left to tell
the sad tale.
This is, in brief, the story of the awful
wreck that occurred Friday on the New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad at
Ravenna, few miles north of here.
It was a holocaust, and the innocent and
helpless victims slowly succumbed to the
flames. The fire burned for two hours,
and when it was finally extinguished the
work of taking out the remains and car
ing for tho wounded began. =,
Nineteen bodies were taken out ami c.lf.
ried to the Etna building, on the square.
But few escaped with their lives.
The bodies Of the nineteen victims were
lying about on the floor, in many cases al
most nude, blackened and mangled. In
several instances where the bodies were
burned and disfgured in manner repul-
sive for human gaze, these were covered
with sheets, through which the blood
soaked and gathered in little pools on the
floor.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July Ga most
frightful railroad accident occurred on the
Kanawa and Michigan road, about seven
miles from this city Saturday morning.
Not only was the loss Of life large and the
list of wounded fearfully long, but the
dead were mutilated as though they had
been run through some gigantic machine,
which had crushed, MANNED and disfgured
them until nearly all semblance of human
ity had been effaced.
Fifteen dead bodies have been taken
from the wreck and fifty y-eight are injured,

Blaine was riding twice yesterday, and he

kidney complaint. No one who sees him

see marked Improvement in his condi-

Washington are pure fabrications The
family always live quietly while here, but
no more so this year than usual. They re-

often seen walking or sitting upon his

crai, here .ere five stately war ships of
Uncle as best make, pointing their
murderous looking guns at Bostoh's busi-
fess center and apparently ready for bns-

wharves on both sides of the channel were
utilized as observation stands by thou
sands who had been engaged elsewhere on
Saturday when the squadron entered the
harbor.
Boatmen reaped moderate harvest car
rying the more curious out to where the
ships were anchored, but as Sunday is not
visiting day for the public there was no
opportunity for a closer inspection of the
big strangers. Only the routine work was
done aboard the ship. 1t was literally a
day of rest. The sailors and marines have
a week Of hard work before them and they
prepared for it by taking life easy Sunday.
