WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
Sew England Service ofthe United States
Department of AGriculture.

WASHINGTON, June S.--The reports from
most of our correspondents indicate that the
weather for the past week or 10 days could
not have been more favorable for vegeta-
ton if made to order; it las been neither
too hot nor too cold the rain has come in
gentle showers and there has boen an aver
age amount OF sunshine. While the above
is true of the greater part OF New England
there are some exceptions; in the northern
disti lets the temperature was low all tho
first part Of the week and some damage has
been done by excessive rains From trace
to one-half inch OF rain hes fallen over
Massachusetts, Connecticut and part Of
Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine,
but slightly more than one-half inch fell 10
southern Rhode Island and from one to two
inches in central and northern Vermont.
Some corn and potatoes have rotted on low
ground in the later section. Somo slight
damage has been done by lightning strokes
during thunder storms; in the south on the
9th and in tho north on the I'd. Rivers
are still low in eastern Maine.
On the highlands of Vermont and in
western Maine some report the grass thin
and feed short in the pastures, but gener-
ally this crop is reported as growing thick
and fast and promising much above the
average, with haying coming along earlier
than the average. The season continues
late in all sections but under the influence
of the present weather is rapidly catching
up Much corn remains to he planted in
the northern districts, but in the south all
planting is practically done and hoeing IS
gong on. On the whole the outlook is very
good for the greater part OF New England

their oVn disappointed ambitions, have
stepped in to hamper the building Of the
railway
Their motive 10 inspiring the action Of
Council which resulted in stopping work
on the railway is clearly one of revenge.
They cannot pr fit by it, but they can
annoy the Railway Q ,npsny and subject
the public to inconvenience, and that
answers the same purpose, or nearly 60
1t is alleged also that ut least one member
of G uncl, who voted to stop the building
Of the road, is disappointed because OF the
failure of one Mr.. Ebcre to cause block
of Electric Railway stock to materislize Rt
certain time and place. d. not vouch
for the truth of this rumor, but the fact
that the member in question was an ardent
supporter of every privilege sought by the
Railway c ,mTany when Mr.. Eberle was
in ch arge, coupled with the fact that he is
now opposed to granting the road any
privileges whatever, gives cre1ence to it.
The motive of this combination Of Cum
Gil and conspiracy of citizen scbemers in
| attempting to foist up5n the people debt
of 100000 or more, for the construction Of
water works, is not in doubt If they
intended to conceal il they have failed
mserably, By destroying the value of
the property of the Water Company they
would satisfy their personal hatred, of the
individual stockholders of that concern,
and they would have plaything in the
plant which they might use to advance
their own personal and political ends. OF
course the people would have to pay for it,
but they wouldn't let that worry them.
1t is now about time that the people
understood the motives by which this
combine is actuated, ana unless 1 mistake
their judgment and intelligence very much
they are, as the boys say, ''ont to 'em."
would suggest here that the public indigna
ton which is being felt at their actions be
given expression at public meeting, to be
held as early as convenient. Let the public
tel the eight members of the Councilmauic
com bine what they think about their
actions, and let us once for all understand
whether they are the servants or the
masters of the people.

Yesterday Division Engineer Ward and
Superintendent Bertolet Of Mshanoy
Plane, we're in town and went over the
tracks of both lines. The object of their
visit was not made known, but it WAS
learned that they decided on point Of
connection for the Reading and Lehigh
Valley roads short distance east Of the
red bridge.
All p. s. r. tr,ffi will be directed over
the Lehgh Valley road TO Lost Creek, at
which point tho cars viii cross over to the
Reading road, thus leaving out VIM. Penn
1t is rep1rtei that tine tables covering the
changes will be issued by Friday and that
the trains will run under them by Sunday
morning.
1t is now almost certain that all the P. &
R. and Lehigh freight business in this town
will DO transacted at the Main street depot
of the P Il K. road and the Lehigh Valley
depot will look after all passen ger business
If this consolidation materializ9s il will

trains and leave them places lives in danger
every dsy as the traffic is at present 1t
said that the enlarging Of the depot Ia
contemplated, but this is not credited, az
the withdrawal of the freight business will
leave ample room for passenger service.
Guesses Of all kinds are made as to who
will have charge of the consolidated depots,
but whatever plan the company may have
in that connection are fenced in by secrecy.
That there will be a cutting down OF the
working forces is certainty, but no hint
as to the intended changes can be cleaned,
although it is said the company will make
selections from the forces of both depots.
Changes have already been ordered ct
Ashland. They will go into effect next
Monday. The P, & R. and Lehigh VAL

been selected as agent for tho Reading.
