A Inter Report.

Aberdeen. s. d.. July 3O.-Later re-
ports OF last evenings hall storm indi-
cate extensive destruction OF crops. The
storm started near Ipswich. passing
southeast. completely destroying crops
in a tract from six to eight miles vide
and Atty to sixty miles long. The Hun
ter irrigation farm near Mellette is said
to be completely ruined.
The storm was accompanied by heavy
wind, which drove the hail with terri
BILE force. At Worthwhile n Mellette
the windows were all broken out on the
side next to the storm. and this no doubt
is the ease over the entire district.
Cases OF individual losses are not OBJ

thousands OF dollars. It being the worst

Philadelphia, July 31.-Advices from
Atlantic City to the Office OF the Phil
adelphia and Reading Railroad company
In this city this morning, place the num-
Der of killed In last nights railroad ac-
cident at forty-three. including the en-
gineer and fireman of the Reading train.
There are no new Developments re-
garding the responsibility for the terri
BILE loss OF life, but the accident seems to
have resulted from the failure of Engi-
neer Farr Of the Reading train, to obey
the signals at the block station, which
it Is generally agreed were set against
his train, and required a full stop. En-
gineer Farr and his fireman were both
killed.
Engineer Kriner of h West Jersey,
says that as he neared the crossing, ne
saw the reading train approaching from
the opposite direction. A Camden and
Atlantic train was also coming toward
the city and 1t seemed to him that both
ain were racing. The signals at the
blockhouses were open for him to go on,
and knowing that IL such be the case,
that the block must be against the
Reading train, he expected the latter TO
stop. Before he realized Ii, he saw a
collision was inevitable n he was
about to jump at the point where the
Reading engine now lies, but he ooh a
desperate chance and stuck to his post.
