UNREASONABLE SNoWSToRMS.
The First Flurries OF the Season Occur at
Various Points.

The First Flurries OF the Season Occur at
Various Points.
The first snowstorm OF the season pre-.
vailed in the region OF the Great Lakes and
in Pennsylvania and Northern New York. The
icy blasts OF the Poles have held full sway.
This has been tho general condition, not
only In Minnesota; but in the Dakotas and
Manitoba, and sand storms and dust storms
have made the air binding, freezing
scsurge, accompanied as they have
been by low temperature that
cannot ordinarily be expected at this
time. It is estimated that a quarter o.
million bushels Of grain and nearly million
tons OF hay have been destroyed. Dispatches
from various points give the following de-
tails:
EscAyABA. Mich: The first snowfall Of the
season occurred here. being accompanied by
q blizzard. The weather Is extremely cold.
LANSING. Mich: The frs. snow of the sea-
son fell here, but melted as 1t struck the
earth.
PLA1NF1ELD. Wis: This was the coolest
day OF the season. the mercury standing at
the freezing point nearly all day. lew
flakes of snow fell at times.
ERIE. Penn: A snowstorm broke over
Erie which for duration and depth OF snow
fall is unprecedented in this section at this
season Of the year. Ten inches OF snow have
fallen. The damage to fruit trees as we'll as
shade trees and shrubbery will be very great,
as the trees are still heavily clad with foliage.
WATERFOWL n Y: Snow has been falling
here since noon. and at O'CLOCK p. m the
ground is thickly covered. concealing the
grass and clothing the trees with winter
parb. It is rapidly melting, however, with
prospects OF warmer weather.

THE PROLONGED DRoUTH.
The Most Remarkable in the Closing Quar-.
ter of the Century.

The Most Remarkable in the Closing Quar-.
ter of the Century.
The most remarkable drouth Of the closing
quarter Of the century has been broken so
far as the Middle Atlantic and New England
States are concerned. There have been
heavy rains in Massachusetts. New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, end adjacent States. and
showers extended southwark into Delaware
and MARYLAND. In many Of the counties OF
Eastern Pennsylvania the drouth has been
the most severe since 1869. but 1t has been
broken as far west as the anthracite coal
region. There is still great scarcity of water
along the slopes OF the Allegheny Mountains.
The condition Of the streams and springs
in many parts OF West Virginia. Ohio, Indi-
ana and Kentucky has not been muoh better
than in the other States named. The great
Ohio River is little better than succession
of pools. while tributary streams are almost
dried up. Many small towns are without
adequate supplies Of water. and the sanitary
condition Of the sources Of supply IS very
bad. Typhoid fever prevails wherever the
drouth has made itself felt and it is not i'm
probable that the number Of cases will in
crease rather than diminish until the rains
shall be heavy enough to refresh the land
and carry off through the streams the accu-
mulated filth OF the summer months. One
of the most serious effects Of the prolonCe
dry spell has been the inability Of the farm
ers to get their blowing and seeding done.
The Ohio River follows the Mississippi with
a record-breakinc dearth Of water. and navi-
CATION is suspended.
Reports from the water famine stations OF
Ohio say hog cholera is raging as never be-
fore. Whole droves are perishing. One
farmer at Hughes Station lost ninety in one
day. Their value exceeded $1,000. John
Myers. near Bethel. Clermont County, has
hauled water four miles since July for his
one hundred hogs. and every one died with
in a week. Not less than $4,000 worth OF
hogs died in ten days. II there is not rain
soon, hogs in Southern Indiana. Ohio and
Kentucky will be annihilated. Twenty-Five
farmers in Brown County, Ohio. report a
loss of 9S5 hogs. Many farms have not one
porker left.
The West Virginia Northern Railroad has
abandoned all trains but one day because
water cannot be procured for locomotives.
In order to make one train day the rail-
road takes one Of the locomotives twenty
miles east on the Baltimore and Ohio to
procure water.
