In Western Georgia.

weather conditions during the past week
have generally been unfavorable for crops
in western Georgia. Except few scatter
no rainfall, and the soil has been baked
and crusted, while crops show but little
signs of improvement. Cotton appears to
withstand the effects Of drought better than
other crops, and is growing slowly, al
though still in poor condition and back

vested and threshing Is in progress. Spring
oats are reported to be a total failure, but
,ne fall planting turned out better than
was expected. Corn is badly in need of
comes. Farmers are blowing it for the
last time. Grapes are growing nicely and
will probably give an average yield. Mel
ons are very poor and will be a small crop.
Sweet potatoes are beginning to grow. OF
they are rapidly dropping off, and the
yield will be short.
Reports received from central Georgia
tons no rain has fallen for a period of
eight weeks, but during the past week
showers fell throughout this section, which
in some CAGES We're hardly enough to lay
the dust, and corn in these unfavored
sections is failing fast; unless relief comes
will be entire failure. In the more ia

a Hail storm Reported.

THE farms in the southwestern counties
have been but slightly moisteued by rain
during the past week, and crops of all
kinds, especially corn on the uplands, are
suffering. A failure in this crop is quite
evident if it is not relieved soon by a good
rain. A severe hail and wind storm pass
ed through the northern part of Thomas
county a few days ago and completely
destroyed all crops in its path. 1t was not
reported to have travelled a great distance
of being very wide The week,
average, has been q fair one for cotton,
which has improved rapidly. Blooms
appearing every day in the early planted
crop. Corn is rather withered, but still
holds its color and good stalk. On the
uplands in some localities it will be almost
failure, if the drought continues much
longer Melons are ripening fast and are
now being shipped. They are very small
and inferior this year, and it is thought
that there will not be more than half
crop. Gardens are failings fast and are
almost failure. Very few peas are
up.
while occasional shower in some
parts OF southern Georgia has improved
the condition of crops slightly, in other To-
calities the drought has remained unbroken,
and there has been very little change in
crop conditions. Cotton is growing nicely,
sl0Wtly . recovering from the effects of the

ready to plant peas, but the soil is too
dry for them to sprout il planted. Cane is
turning yellow and is sadly in need of
moisture. Potatoes and garden vegetables
are, in many localities, slowly dying. Rice,
so far, has not been much injured by the
deficiency in rainfall, and prospects are for
fair yield. Corn is tasselinS and looks
as though it would eventually be good

Sad Scenes When Morning Dawned in the
Burned District.

Boston, May l6.-As morning dawned,
clear and cold, and the sunlight illum-
ined the smouldering ruins OF last
nights fire, hundreds of homeless men,
women and children, their eyes red
from weeping and from the effects of the
smoke, emerged from the hospitable
shelters where they had passed the night
and gathered about the charred remains
of their homes of yesterday.
Huddled together in the vestry of the
Ruggles street Baptist church, mothers
in sCanty attire snatched at the last
moment from the devouring flames,
nursed their babes, weeping tears of joy
at the thought that their little ones had
been spared to them. Poor, white
haired matrons, feeble and i'll. scarcely
able to get about in their intirm old age,
were trem bling and shaking from the eX-
cltement of the most terrible night Lii
tie children, with swollen eyes, were
falling asleep after the hysterlcai fright
of that awful night. Stretched at
length in every position upon the soft
mattresses and clean, inviting comfort
ers provided for them by the kindly lad
les OF the Ruggles street church, 300
women and children rested their weary
limbs. Supper was served at midnight
to over 400 unfortunateS in the yestry OF
the church, while the firemen. exhausted
by their arduous labors, were strength
ened by plenty of hot. fragrant coffee.
The scene of desolation and.ruin which
greeted the eyes of the early morning
visitor who approached the burned dis
trict OF yesterdays disastrous fire, was
one th at will not soon be forgotten.
Furniture, bedding, clothes and house
hold articles of variety too numerous
to mention, were to be seen in piles on
the sidewalk, in many cases the burned
and crumpled edges Of the blankets tes-
tifylng of the narrow escape the owner
had in saying that little pile, small as
it might be. In some instances small
clothes basket would hold the property
of people who, if they had moved yester-
day, would have required wagons to
convey their goods.
Despite the fact that the section burned
over by last evenings fire covers an area
of from 10 to 90 acres, on which stood
nearly 200 buildings, which served as
dwellings for about 1000 per sons, the
actual loss in real estate will be compar-
atively small. This is owing to the pecu-
liarly cheap class of buildings which
were erected in this neigh borhood. The
assessed value of the buildings totally
destroye d was about S211, 200.

Il is really wonderful CRATE. The

The Asphalt Paving To Be Replaced by
Granite,

superintendent Staples's teams were
hauling paving stone yesterday for the
paving of the southerly side of Congress
street, from Longfellow square to
Vaughan street. This is the portion of
street covered by one of the pieces of
asphalt paving put down several years
ago, and since condemned. The commits
sion decided that it would be best to put
good quality of granite block here,
and it is probable that the same will be
put down on the other side of the street,

HAWAII AND IT'S FUTURE.

Minister Thurston Addresses q Large
Audience in Warrington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l1.-Mlnister Lorin
Thurston addressed a large audience
here tonight in the Foundry Methodist
church, on Hawaii and its future, and
was greeted with great applause when
he referred indirectly to annexation.
He said in beginning his address, that
he was invited to come there, if only to
show himself, as one of those Hawaiians
in danger of having their heads cut off.
Hawaii" he continued, sis not 30
far away from civilization as many
people imagine. AS matter of fact, it
ia nearer the geographical center of the
United States than Washington is. The
Aleutian islands extend out in the
Pacific ocean 1000 miles west OF Hawaii,
making San Francisco the geographical
center of this country. 30 that Honolulu
is 1000 miles nearer the Golden Gate
than Washington. Hawaii is child of
the United States, if any country is
child of another.

FOUGHT AT THE ALTAR.
AN EXCITING SCENE IN A CATHO-
Lie CHURCH.
One Priest Assaults Another While Col
ebrating Mass-The Assailant Sud-
denly Becomes Violent
ly Insane.

BROOKLYN. Feb. 11.-There was an
exciting time today at st. Peters Ro-
man Catholic church and the spectacle
OF one priest asHaulting another on the
altar caused a psnic among the large
congregation which attended the macs
service. The pastor Of St. Peters is
Father William J. Hill, man OF mid
die age, while Father Patrick V. Nc
Donald, a young man about 30 years
old, is assistant. The latter was cele-
L--..t 20 I.as.u5, - -,az4ho- U;Ii
was on the altar as deacon. When
Father Hill commenced reading the
notices for the day, Father Mcdonald,
who was kneeling, suddenly arose and,
turning to Father Hill, said; s'You
can't speak here"
Father Hill was taken by surprise and
whispered to bis assistant to keep quiet.
but the latter. who weighs 200 pounds.
rushed at Father Hill and knocked him
down the altar steps.
Father Mcdonald then picked up the
chalice. and Father Hill attempted to
take it from him. The former dealt
him blow under the left ear, which
knocked him down. The startled con-
gregation was by this time wild with
excitement, and several men in the
front pews jumped over the chancel
rail and prevented Father Mcdonald
from committing further violence.
Some OF the congregation had in
the meantime run to the Butler-street
station for assistance and Father
Mcdonald was taken to the rectory op-
posite the church and confined in his
apartments.
Word was sent to Bishop Mcdonnell
who directed Vicar Mcnamara
to make an investigation. Meanwhile
Father Mcdonald had become so violent
that it was evident he was insane,
Later he was removed to st. Peters
hospital, where it was found necessary
to detail policeman to attend him.
Father Hill said he was taken entirely
by surprise as Father Mcdonald had
never before manifested any signs of
insanity and he could not account for
his sudden deranRement.
