Twisted the buildings.

Scranton, Pa, June Ga serious mine
squeeze, resulting from the caving in of the
workings of the Providence Coal COmpan-
ny, occurred this morning in the neighbour
hood of Church's corners, in this city. Five
double dwelling blocks, fronting North
Main avenue and owned by Peter Cerrini,
John Zuifiich, Thomas Green, County Su-
perintendent Taylor and Nelson Featherby,
and each occupied by two families, were
damaged considerably. The buildings were
thrown out of plumb and their walls and
ceilings so cracked as to make it impossible
to open the doors out buildings and
fences were twisted by the force of the dis
turbance. The property owners are in
censcd over the matter and lay the blame
on the Providence Coal Company, which
has continued r0bbing the pillars, it is
said without regard to surface protection.
There is talk of beginning legal proceed
ings.

Weekly weather.Crop Bulletin.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, MAY, 81 '9I

COLUMBIA, Mo-, MAY, 81 80.
The Weather-Crop Bulletin is
sued by the Missouri Weather Ser
vice for the week ending May 18th,
says.
In most sections of the state the
weather during the past week has
been very unfavorable to growing
crops. The mean temperature
was from s to I3 degrees below the
normal, and frost was reported in
some portions of the state on every
day except the 10Th, very heavy
frosts occurring on the 18th and
14th. The greatest damage by
frost occurred in the eastern por-
tion of the state, from Knox and
Lewis counties southwark to Stod-
dard and Mississippi, and on bot
tom lands in portions of Clinton,
Dekalb, Gentry, Worth, Harrison,
Grundy, Putnam and Nodaway
counties. Many fields of corn were
cut to the ground; gardens and
potatoes were ruined or seriously
injured, and in some districts much
damage was done to wheat. Fruit
also suffered considerably in some
counties, and much damage was
done to melons. In other portions
of the state. the principal damage
was to tender vegetation on bot
tom lands.
Good rains fell in most counties
of the central and eastern sections
improving the conditions of wheat
oats, grasses, and gardens, but
over most of the western counties
the rainfall was less than 80 inch,
and at the close of the week rain
was badly needed.
Chinch bugs have continued to
do great damage to wheat
in many counties, though in some
localities their ravages have been
checked by the cool weather and
rain. In a number of the south
ern and eastern counties much
wheat has been ruined by fly. In
many of the western counties oats
will fall considerably short of an
average crop.
Corn has made but little growth
and looks yellow as result of the
low temperature. Much replant-
ing has been necessary on account
of frost and the ravages of cut
worms. No damage to cotton is
reported.
In the eastern sections grasses
have improved but IN most of the
western counties meadows are
short
Tree fruits are still dropping
badly and while, lis Il rule, enough
remains fora good crop, in some
localities they have nearly all fal-
len off: 1T is feared the continued
cool weather will cause additional
loss.
