DOWN LACHiNE RAPIDS.
Fearful Voyage of Four Men in n Burning
Barge.

MONTREAL, July 12.-It was a thrilling
experience that of four Frenchmen, Jean
Laplante, Baptist Belauger, Octave Coutel-
ler and Guilaums Rocneon, on blazing
hay barge in the middle of the Luchine
rapids early yesterday morning. Laplante,
as he lay in a cot in tho general hospital,
tod the story of their adventures.
The men were in charge of barge load
ed with hay from Coteau for Montreal
They tied up for the night to tree on the
shore above Chataugey, and all went to
sleep. Laplaute was the first to awake, and
to his horror found that the hay had caught
fire, burnt through the rope, and the barge
was afiame and drifting toward the head Of
the Lachne rapids.
The imperiled Fren chmen called Justify
for help, but for a long time could not at
tract the attention of any one, and all the
time the barge was slowly approaching the
rapids. At last some inhabitants on the
shore heard their yells, and put out to them,
but it was too late
The barge was then mass of flames.
The men were all huddlei together in a lit
tie open space mt the storm, and in this po-
sition men and barge plunged over the head
OF the rapids. Tue onlookers thought they
had gone to certain destruction.
| 1t was by an almost miraculous chance
that the barge passed through the rapid.
safely, but on emerging in calm water the
men had disappeared. When small boat,
put out to the scene they were dicovored In
the water, clingiag to the hull Of the barge
They had jumped to escape death by
burning. They were all much exhausted,
and Laplante was so badly burned that he
was taken to the hospital.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
OF the New England Weather Service fol
the pnst Week.

the fnst Week.
The thermal conditions Of the past week
have been most favorable to all crops
throughout New England. The nights have
not been warm, perhaps, but not cool
enough to retard the growth of vegetables,
etc During the day time the temperature
has averaged a maximum of so degrees,
which is not far from the normal for this
season.
The rainfall has been unevenly distrib-
uted, but averages slightly below tho nor
NAL. At some points more rain is needed.
At Canterbury, y. H., nearly all the crops
nre suffering for want of rain and pastures
are drying badly.
Haying has been carried on the past week
and the general outlook is for an average
crop. In eastern Maine, where light
crop was expected, the recent rains have so
much improved the condition OF grass that
it will fall little below the average. In
northern New Hampshire it will be light,
but elsewhere tie average amount will be
cut. Corn is backward and very uneven in
growth. hot sun is needed to push it
along. and the cool nights have retarded its
growth. Fruits are progressing finely, but
pears and apples will not yield heavily in
many places. Many apples are dropping.
Potato bugs are still plenty and the onion
maggot is doing damage in numerous places.
Vermont observers report as follows
Northfeld Crops looking finely; Burling-
ton: The hay crop is well nigh gathered
Brattleboro: Corn and potatoes looking
well, onions rather backward; East Ran.
dolph: Large crop of grass being cut; Hart
land Four Corners: Hay full averag,
crop, oats are heading out and look promis
| ing.
