MADAME BLAVASKY DEAD.
The President Of the Theos ophist
Society Enters Dcvachan.
Madnme Blavnsky. tho famous nm

Madame Blavasky, the famous the
osophist is dead. She has in recent
years been one of the most widely
talked of women in the world BY
many considered merely rs an exponent
of visionary ideas not worthy of inves-
tigation, by others denounced as Il
rank imposter and n hypocrite by still
others she is loved and reverod rs the
ablest exponent Of a system ofreligious
philosophy of supreme beauty and con-
shutting the very essence of truth.
Born Of noble Russian parentage,
Madame BlavasSy was early married
and early widowed, Her abilities and
social prominence gave her II place in
political life and for years she lived at
different European capitals, us it is
supposed II diplomatic agent of the
Russian government. She became in
terested in occultism and eastern phi
losophy and after preliminary study
went to India to seek truth alto her
its very fountain head. Here, nc
cording to tho claims of her friends,
although enemies and skeptics deny
that she ever made Investigations, she
lived for years student of the mys-
tories of life here and hereafter, was
adopted as pupil by the problomcti-
cal adopts or Thibotian Mahatmas and
progressed rapidly into the realm of
universal knowledge, Toward the
OF the seventies she came to the United
States. teaching and lccturing on
what is called Theosophy and made
numerous converts, especially among
those whose minds were inclined to-
wards spiritualism and occutsm. No
table among them was Col. III. $, Al
colt. Together with Colonel Alcott
she went to India and at Simia formed
the Thcosophical society. the head
quarters Of which were soon removed
to Madras, and branches of which are
now In existence in all parts OF tho
civilized world. Madame Blavasky
was president SO long as she lived.
Theosophy has gained many strong
adherents. 1t is, so to speak, refine
ment of Buddhism, and is often re-
ferrcd to as esoteric Buddhism as dis
tinguished from eXoteric Buddhism, or
the corrupted form usually taught in
India. The literature Of tho subject
has assumed large proportions BY II
large portion of the western world it is
regarded as rank tomfoolcry, but what
ever its value Madame Blavasky was
the leader in the movement and re-
garded by her followers as able to do
most supernatural things in addition to
being under the guidance of the great
est living adopts or spiritualizcd hui
man beings.

side and u huge skidway OF burning
logs on the other. 1t was finally de-
cided to dash past the burning skid
way, and the engineer and fireman
with faces covered with dampened
cloths, and their hands and arms
wrapped in wool, pulled through the
wall of fire. The seventy-five exhaust
men gathered in groups on tho fiat

on the floors. As they ncared the
blazing furnace of burning logs the
heat became undesirable and the smoke
so dense, binding and sitting that the
men were obliged to cover their
mouths with cloths.

that such great heat would surely warp
the rails. Suddenly there was lurch,
an ominous heaving and shrek OF
dispair as the train toppled over into
the hell of fire beneath. A scene en-
sued never to be forgotten by those who
escaped, though every man will bear
to his grave the mark of that awful
moment. The cars caught fire like so
many playthings, and the men within,
half blinded and scarcely realizing
anything except that they were slowly
being roasted to death. struggled fear
fully to regain the track, where safety
lay for IL time at least.
Those uninjured from the fall and
only smariing from the pain of the in
tense heat, bravely turned their burned
and blackenCd hands TO aid their more
unfortunate fellows AT the latest re-
port il was impossible TO secure details,

Badger, of the Slime Mahoning Valley

miserably persisted : at once, or died
soon aftcrward, and thirty others of
the party were badly burned, many
probably fatally, having inhaled the
flames. Seven others of tho party arc
missing, and their fate is unknown,
they are likely in the charred wood of
the logs or train. The remainder of
the party saved themselves by lying
down in the creek.

The little towns OF Austin. Costello
Galeton and Moore's Run, in Potter
county, Pa, are on the verge of a
panic two especially being threatened
with humiliation, from fires that seem
to form an impenetrable wall on every
side. For eeucral days past the skies
have been lighted up with fires in every
direction, and the flames crept steadily
toward the helpless towns until it was
seen the people must fight. At Moore's
Run, on the SHINE Mahoning road, a
train load of seventy-five willing men
sent from Austin Sunday, the 10th,
have been fighting back the fire by
every conceivable means, They made
trenches, piled up earth, and lighted
back fires, but were finally obliged to
retreat. The men hastily boarded the
train and started to make run TO an
other point, when it was found they

THE CROPS.
Government Statistics Show High
Average Tor Grain.

The condition of winter grain on the
first day of May is reported by the
statistician of the department of agri-
culture is as follows: Wheat, 975;
rye, 972; barley, 96.2.
This is an advance in wheat of one
point during April, and of quite as
much in rye. A gain in wheat is re-
ported in New York, in some of the
southern states, in Michigan. and
slight improvement in Illinois, Missou-
ri and some other states. Tho unifor-
nifty of condition is somewhat remark
able, no state average being lower than
%.
The condition of moving lands is
also high, averaging o., ranging from
80 to 100. The average for spring
pasture is 9S, ranging from % to 100,
except Il drop in Utah TO SO, and in
New Mexico to 49, The eastern slope
of the Rocky Mountains comes within
four or five points of full. The con-
dition of the Pacific coast is near the
maximum. The progress ofthe spring
blowing has been greatly retarded by
excess of moisture in the central and
southern belts. The proportion plant
ed is reported at 6S.S per cent. The
average of several previous years has
been II per cent. The eastern states

work and fair progress TO date. In
all the southern states it has been de-
layed by heavy rains and later by
drought which has rendered blowing
difficult and imperfect. In the Ohio
valley an excess of moisture delayed
blowing through March and interfered
with its progress in some places during
the first two weeks of April. The
work has progressed rapidly since and
termination has generally been prompt.
In the northwest the season has been
favorable. Spring work has been
well advanced and spring grain com
ing up and growing finely.
An investigation has been made of
the effects of frost on the 9TH and 9th
of May. Telegrams have been received
from state agents showing that very
general damage has resulted to straw
berries and early vegetables, some in
jury to grapes and cherries and peach
es to some extent in the east and north.
1t was too early TO iniure apples and
pears; in the Ohio valley it is thought
it may cause dropping of growing
fruit. The fruit belt of western Michi-
gan is said to have received little in
jury.
Though the damage has been scri-
Gus, especially to small fruits and
vegetables in other parts of Michigan,
nearly all unite in saying that no in
jury to the growing crops has occur
red. A brisk wind and dry air favor
ed the New Jersey orchards and the
loss of peaches and apples will not be
so serious as was faared. The Mary
land agriculturists report loss Of straw
berries and early vegetables, with no
injury to grain and none TO apples,
peaches and plums. The damage to
the peach belt is apparently not so
serious as was at first reported.
