DAMAGE TO TOBACCO CROP.
Effect of Frost I'm Tennessee ana
Kentucky.

NASHVILLE, TENN. September o.
Reliable advices from the tobacco coun-
ties in this State show that the crop has
been seriously damaged by frost. In Ro-
bertson and adjoining counties the crop
is badly damaged. Advices from Southern
Kentucky counties also report extensive
damage, greater even than in the Tennes-
see counties. In most Tennessee counties
conservative estimates place the crop at
about one half an average crop.
THIRTY PER CENT. OF CROP KILLED
CINCINNATI, o.. September pa spe-
ciaI to the Enquirer from Hopkinsvilie,
KY, says: Carefully prepared estimates
of the injury done to the tobacco crop OF
this section of the State by the heavy
frost OF the last two nights show that
at least 30 per cent of the crop has been
killed and that much damage has been
done 10 the remainder throughout the
rest Of the dark belt
There was an advance or yes
terday In the local tobacco market, ana
a further advance OF 50 cents to-day.
Reports from other sections or KEN
lucky are that the crop has been seriously
damaged. On the whole, it looks as II the
damage in the State would be not less
than Is to 80 per cent.

Mr.. Ellyson turned to Major Tyler as he

he advanced to the footlights and waved
his hand for silence.
With a happy smile suffusing his face,

Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson, who had been
invited to preside over the meeting. Mr..
Ellyson was given an ovation as he
stepped to the front of the platform,
and it was some time before he was able
TO make himself heard. He said:

much honored by the Powhatan Club

it was bright augury of the majority
that will be rolled up for the Demo-

The present ticket is composed Of gen.

for office have been so well recognized by
the people of the opposition that they
them. The gentleman selected to lead the
party is a man upon whom the honor fell
most worthily, We will never have cause
to regret the unanimity of the action
which put him at the head of the ticket.
His readiness TO always do for his party
has made him the one man above all
others to lead the party he has served so
wei.
The Powhatan Club couldn't have done
me a greater honor than to confer upon
me the privilege of presenting our leader.

State senators. and others, whose names

Comptroller Eckels made an after-dinner
speech, to which close attention was paid
by its auditors, and at its close he was
warmly applauded.
After pleading for a continuation Of tho
feeling of mutual confidence so long
maintained between the East and West,
Mr. Eckels said
1T would not do for the East TO boast

An entire square In the village OF Balm

houses, several handsome residences, and
the Methdiss church. was entirely de-
stroyed by fire this afternoon, and two
prominent businessmen lost their lives
in an explosion which occurred in the
drugstore of w. p. Beardsley.
The fire was started in harm In tho

promptly responded. The Baltimore and

railways sent special trains with the
engines, but they did not arrive until
almost 4 oclock-nearly three hours ar
ter the first alarm had been given. The
best they could do was to prevent the
fire from being communicated to other
squares.
After the destruction OF Beardsey's
drugstore the following property was
consumed: Methodist Episcopal church.

In one sense, he said II was triangu-

France because the exchange conditions
between London and Paris made 1t more
satisfactory to import the gold from
Paris than from London. The Hanover
National Bank has always been a large
