Heavy Rains and Cold Weather Threaten
Disaster.
The farmers in the Wo,t and Northwest
have good right to be blue these days
The heavy rainfalls seriously delay those
who have not finished their seeding, and the
unreasonable snowstorms in the more
northern regions have played havoc with
the crops already In. he corn belt
is soaked, and the tillers of the soil
in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and
Iowa are fretting away the time
until the sun dries the land so they can do
their drilling and seeding. Wheat, too.
will have to wait in many States until the
land assumes better condition for plow-
ing The outlook at present is not at all
encouraging. Cloudy weather still prevails
in the vicinities visited by rain. and in
those still visited by snow and sleet the
temperature evinces n most discouraging
tendency to hover about the freezing point.

Boiler at Midland, Mich.
Thursday afternoon, at Midland Mich,
there was a loud report and jar resembling
an earthquake, caused by the explosion of
IA battery OF four boilers which furnished
steam for operating the sawmill OF the
Midland Salt and Lumber Company. The

too, was badly damaged. Three work
men were killed and five badly hurt.
Others were slightly injured, but their

of the people t. clear away the debris
covering them. The scene at the yards

wringing their hands in despair as n host
OF men strove valiantly to rescue their

thought that one Cf the boilers was de-

By the above it will be seen that there
is total of 442 delegates instructed, or
within nine of the number required to
nominate. These figures do not include
the number of uninstructed delegates
who have voluntarily pledged themselves
by letter or otherwise to vote for re-
nomination upon the first ballot.
These number about one hum
dred. They exclude every delegate
who has not specific instructions
from district or State TO vote for
denomination from the very beginning
of proceedings in convention. For in
stance, the four delegates from districts
in Illinois which did not adopt resolu-
tions of instruction are left out OF the
calculation, although il is held that the
instruction in the State convention
binds delegates from districts which did
not instruct. For the same reason four
delegates are dropped in Missouri, al
though IL is reported that the delegation
as whole will act under State instruc-
tons. OF the instructed delegates $50
are from the South and 1876 from the
North and West. Private information
from uninstructed delegates leads the
friends of the President TO claim that
two-thirds of the 800 delegates will vote
for Harrison on the first ballot.
