Immense Crop and Good Prices in the West
ern States
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The Vice President
and General Manager of the West Shore
Railroad Company, j. W. Langs, has re-
turned from his trip to the wheat and corn
belts of the West He was gone three
weeks, ana his trip took him over much of
the grain-growing country of the Missis-
sippi and Ohio valleys. He grew quite en-
thusiastic when talking about his trip.
Indiana" he said, "in 1891 will raise
63,000,00O bushels of first quality wheat.
Indiana, before 1891, has never raised much
over 2000O,000. We will throw off the odd
100000, saying it will be kept for seed, and
that will leave the farmers 60,000 600 bushels
for market That means the Indiana farm
ers are to receive S30,000,000 this year more
than they ever received in a single year
before for their crops, and they are going
to get it in cash. That sum represents a
time of prosperity such as our farmers have
neyer had. and supply of money which
Will make things hum as they have never
hummed before in Indiana.
" That Is an old corn State, and one of the
smaller ones. The same story can be told
of every one of the States in the grain
country. Money Is bound to flow in upon
these farmers as they have never seen it
before"
Mr.. Langs also showed what an enor-
nous business the railroads were now
doing in shipping grain to the seaboards.
His deductions were that the yield of grain
this year will be larger than the country
has ever known. and that there will be
enough to feed our own people, all Europe,

ut Valparaiso. Active operations, as far as
fighting is concerned, have been confined to

Balmaceda's cavalry.
While neither army has as yet seen fit to
rlake an attack, the tension is too great
to last many hours. General Canto,

has devoted much time to strength
ening his position. The country be-
tween Vina del Mar and Quillota is
practically in his power, and such cavalry
as he has is kept constantly on the move

for his army, drumming up recruits wher-
ever possible. and harrying the possessions

Balmaceda has strengthened the fortifca-

Special to THE MORNING CALI.

CHARLOTTE On. c., Aug. 27.-One of the
most disastrous railway wrecks known in
this State occurred about 2 O'clock this
morning at Bostons Bridge, near Statesville,
on the Western North Carolina road. The
west-bound passenger, known as the fast
mail. composed of baggage, mail, first and
second class coaches, Pullman sleeper and
Superintendent Bridges private car, was
loaded with passengers. The sleeper usually
contains good number of passengers from
Northern points and last night was no ex-
ception. just after leaving Statesville there
Is high stone bridge spanning the third
creek, and down into the creek plunged the
entire train, distance of at least 65 feet,
wrecking the whole train and carrying death
and destruction with 1t. Twenty passengers
were killed outright, nine seriously injured
and twenty badly bruised.
The night was dismal and to add to the
horror of the situation the water in the
creek was up. 1t was only through the
most heroic efforts of those who had hurried
to the scene of the wreck that the injured
were not drowned. The accident occurred
by the spreading of the rails.
Early in the morning as it was hundred
willing people from the surrounding country
were quickly at the work of rescue. Debris
OF cars was piled up mountain high, 1t
seemed, in the utmost confusion. In the
fall the Pullman car had leaped over all the
others, striking the ground with terrific
force. and being crushed like an egg
shell. People were taken from the wreck
mangled IN all sorts OF ways, only two or
three bodies being taken out intact. En-
gineer West and Fireman Pry we're cut into
small pieces.
The bridge was not injured and trains are
running on time
Twenty dead bodies are now lying in the

that Captain Andrews is on board the Ell

to know are of the opinion than an agree
ment which will be regarded as reasonably
fair and satisfactory by both Venezuela and
the United Sta tes will be reached and pro-
claimed within the next three months. The
only obstacle TO the prompt ratification of

some influential Venezuelan statesmen that
the effect of it would be to diminish the
customs revenue, upon which Venezuela
mainly depends, to such an extent as to
seriously impair the credit and resources Of
that Government 1t is believed that this
apprehension has been removed in a great
measure and that other considerations have
also had some influence in producing a
change of sentiment. Among them is the
fact that 50 per cent of the products of Ven
ezuela exported 10 the United States are
now admitted free of duty, and that 1t will
be discretionary with the President to I'M
pose duties upon more than 80 per cent of
