to Say Of the "sn ip.";
CHICAGO, May u 4-Michigan's many
peach orchards, which for the past ten
days have furnished the prettiest of effects
in pink, are now covered with a robe of
white. A snowstorm worthy Of winter
Is in possession of the land of the Wolver-
ines. "The storm is a corker," said Pro
fessor Moore yesterday afternoon as lie
looked anxiously over the weather map.
'It Is showing hard in northern Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, and the mercury is
down to the freezing point. Frost condi-
tions rule again today throughout the
Dakctas Minnesota, and Nebraska, and
were it not for her proximity to Lake
Michigan Chicago would be now exper-
fencing similar weather.
The freezing temperature will be felt
throughout Illinois, Indiana and Iowa to-
night, and even Missouri will not be
wholly exempt from the fruit killing in.

BOOM FOR MANITOWOc.

New Railway Terminal, Car Ferry and Lo-
cation Of Manufactures.
MANITowOC, Wis, May 14-Mr. Gill,
attorney for the Manitowoc Terminal
company, met the city council in special
session. He said the Manitowoc Terminal
company would eventually become a part
OF the Wisconsin Central system, and that
the company would utilize all Of the river
frontage in this city. This would give
the Wisconsin Central command of one
the best river frontaSes ON Lake Michi-
gan. Gill sal: the new-line from Menasha
to Manitowoc would probably be COM
pleted before Jan. l, 1895, also that the
cars delivered by the Central at this point
would be ferried across the lake to some
Michigan port
This establishes q new line from St.
Paul to the Atlantic coast. The Mani
towoc city council will vacate the streets
needed by the company in this city and
will do all in its power to promote the
company's interest. 1t is not improbable
that the Wisconsin Central has already
completed arrangements to have several
large manufacturing concerns locate here
in the near future.

BUFFALO, May H-Dispatches from all

section of the state has suffered from the
frost, but the extent Of the damage is
mere guess work. Along the grape belt
in Chautauqua county che grape growers
take q melancholy outlook, but it would
be strange II the crop was entirely de-
stroyed, as some alarming dispatches say.
In Niagara county, where small fruits
are freely raised there is a disposition to

frost, but conservative judges think the
damage not general or severe
Next to grapes Strawberries, perhaps,
have been most seriously hurt. In Allie
cheney county the lowest temperature is
recorded-.5 degrees-and 1t Is likely that
all kinds of fruits have been damaged. In
Genessee county it is said that the frost
has killed the worms, but that the apples
are not hurt. Dispatches from western
Ontario indicate that the Temperature
was very low there and the damage per-
haps very much heavier than on this side
Of the border.

vailed throughout the state last evening,
except in the southeastern portion. In
the western Michigan fruit belt region
the snow storms were accompanied by
high winds. The consensus of dispatches
from this region is that if the wind abates
fruit will be badly frozen. Early vegeta-
