WITH MIGHTY ROAR.
Quantity Of Nitro Glyccrine FIX
plodes at Cvgrct, O.-Num-
bers of Persons Killed.

Cygrct, o., Sept 6.-An ex-
pIosion of nitroglycerinc occurred
here this afternoon, which resuit
ed in the death of six people,
whose names are known and sew
eral whose names are ut present
unknown.
The explosion occurred at
Grant well, located at the rear OF
the national supply company 5
office building, in the village
limits. This well had Just been
shot by Samuel Barber, the shoot,
er for the Ohio and Indiana com
pany. The well was a gaser and
when the 120 quarts of glycerine
let down in it exploded, the gas
ignited with a roar, the flames
shot high above the derrick, As
soon as the drillers saw. the flames,
several climbed into the derrick
to shut off the gas, but they had
hardly gotten there when there
was Il terrific explosion. The
burning gas had started the re.
naming glycerine in the empty
cans standing in a. wagon near
the derrick. In another wagon
near by were cans containing 12O
quarts of the stuff and this was
started by the force of the first
explosions.
The second was blended with
the first in n mighty roar and the
town and surrounding country
for miles trembled from the shock.
The National Supply company's S
building was completely demolish-
ed and nothing remains but big
hole where the wagon stood.
There is not a whole pane of glass
in any window in the town and
every house and store was shaken.
The damage to the Ohio Oil COM
pany will amount to $4,000.
Eight buildings are a total wreck
and many others damaged. The
town has a population of about
1900. Many bystanders were
wounded.

w Gather Last Week Not Favora
bic in the South.

sept. 9TH, says:
In the central valley and south
ern States the week has not been
favorable, owing to general alb
sencc OF rain and prevalence of
high temperatures. Hot, driving
winds have proved injurious IN the
States of tile lower Missouri and
central Mississippi valleys, and
rain, unusually heavy for the sea
son in Oregon and Washington
lnterfcred with harvesting and
thrcshlng in those States. but
caused no serious injury to grain.
Corn has been very unfavorablv
affected by the weather conditions
OF the past week in the principal
corn producing States. High tenn
perature and absence of much
needed rain have checked growth
OF the late crop and caused pre-
mature rlpening, while the preva-
lence of hot winds have caused in
jury, particularly in the States of
the lower Missouri valley. In
Iowa and Missouri, much corn is
past help and will he cut for fod-
der. The conditions, however,
have been more favorable to corn
In the lake region, upper Ohio
valley and New England, and in
the middle Atlantic States the crop
is generally doing well.
- The general condition OF cotton
Is less favorable than in the pre-
vious week, and over portions of
the eastern and middle sections of
the cotton belt there has been
marked deterioration. Rain has
caused it to open rapidly and to
some extent prematurely. In por
tions of south and west Texas.
showers improved late cotton and
the top crop, but over the north
ern portion Of the State and over
the central and eastern portions of
the cotton belt the conditions have
been unfavorable, except for pick
ing, which has asprogressed rapidly.
SOUTH CARDINALS CROP REPORT.
The week under review gave
favorable weather for harvesting
maturing crops, especially making
bay and picking cotton, but was
too dry over the greater portion
Of the State for growing crops
and fall plowing, of which but lit
tie has been done. Worms of va
rious kinds have ceased to do any
damage except to corn in Beau
fort.
1t is the unanimous opinion of
all correspondents that the cotton
crop will be much smaller than the
condition of the plant during July
and the first two weeks of August
promised. The loss in condition
is greatest over the central and
eastern counties where the August
squares and young bolls nearly all
dropped off, and where the plant
is, for the most part, appal emily
dying, with no appearance of
top crop, and where rust was
most prevalent. There is, how
ever, less shedding and rust this
week than last. Over the western
counties, the injury to the crops
was not so marked and many
fields continue to bloom and put
on fruit To a limited extent, espe-
cially on late cotton. Cotton is
opening rapidly and picking is
general, with labor enough avail,
able, generally to keep cotton
picked out as it opens, except in
pIaces where laborers are scarce,
and the lint is liable to damage
from storms should any occur. A
