GRAIN CROP OUTLOOK
THE PROMISES FOR WHEAT AND
CORN WE'RE NOT FULFILLED.
Average Wheat Yield Is 1871 Bushels
an Acre-COrn Showing Up
BadIy-Oats Poor.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The wheat crop of 1898
is not quite up to promise. according to the re-
port of the American Agriculturst, which will
appear Sept. 10. This says that in few States
1t appears the promise of wheat was not
fulfilled in actual grain by what must seem like
a large margin. while in a number of States the
rate of yield greater than indicated on
July l. But with full allowance for all dsap-
pointment the fact remains that the crop this
year is the largest on record. The reported rate
of yield in winter wheat is 14.S bushels and in
spring wheat 1874 bushels. The final crop result
will appear next month. but the American Agri-
culturist says that it may not be amiss to note
that if the present rate of yield indicated shall
be maintained the total production of winter
wheat will be rather under 400 600 600 bushels and
spring wheat fully 800 600, OO0 bushels, subject to
modification next month.
The present report of the American Agrcultur-
list on corn places the condition S5.4, compared
with $50 month earlier. The change. while
slight is a distinct disappointment, it gen
orally believed the breaking of the drought would
advance the condition of the crop at least TO an
average showing for this date. Taking the
plus States of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois. Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Nebraska. it appears the pres
end condition of this crop is 1873. against 79.1
one month ago. and so one year ago There is an
unusually large percentage of healthy-appearing
stalks which are bearing at all and
larger proportion which have a single and
that short and approaching the nubbing condition.
The effect of this will only be fully recognized
when the crop is husked and it is easily within
the range of possibilities that the final report of
rate of yield per will present some marked
surprises.
The condition of oats when harvested is placed
at 7S4, or % lower than on Aug l. with the
general quality not good as last year.
The same authority says the past month has
brought further reduction in the promise of the
potato crop the breaking of the drought not being
followed by recovery of condition.

MISS FOSTER WILL DIE
WELL-KNOWN YOUNG WOMAN RUN
DOWN WHILE BICYCLING.
John Massey, Driver of a Bird Trans
fer Wagon, Released by
the Police.

Miss Rose Foster, daughter of General
r. S. Foster. living at 704 North New Jer-
sey street, was knocked from her wheel at
the corner of Pennsylvania and New York
streets yesterday morning, by one of Frank
Birds transfer wagons and suffered injur-
les that are pronounced fatal. The wagon
was driven by a colored man, John Massey,
who waited until the police investigated,
when he was allowed to go.
From the story given by the police it is
apparent that the affair was a sad accident
Miss Foster was riding west on New York
street and attempted to turn south on Penn
sylvania. The big wagon was going north
on Pennsylvania and turned at New York,
TO go to Delaware street. Miss Foster, it
Is said, attempted to pass in front of the
wagon, when she saw that it intended to
turn, but there was not sufficient room
Massey did not at first see this action and
when he did, it was too late to stop his
horses, even though they were going at a
moderate speed. Miss Foster was struck
and knocked from her wheel to the pave
ment where she struck her head and was
rendered unconscious. One of the heavy
horses stepped squarely upon the side of her
head and fractured her skull at the base
of the brain. There was another severe
conclusion near the temple.
A crowd soon gathered. among them Pa
trolmen Holtz and Wallace, who investi-
gated the affair. Witnesses claimed that
Massey was not driving fast and that he
was on the right side of the street. Frank
Bird and his manager soon came to the
scene and assisted in every way possible
The young lady was removed to the Office of
DIR. Morgan near by and DR.. Wilmer
Christian was called and assisted in attend
ing her. 1t was deemed advisable that she
be taken at once to hospital and the
bulance soon removed her to the Protestant
Deaconess Hospital, at the corner of Senate
avenue and Ohio street. where the injuries
were pronounced fatal. AT an early hour
this morning she was still unconscious and
in very critical condition.
Miss Foster is a graduate of VaSSar Col
lege, an active worker in the Flower Mis-
sion of this city, and member of the First
Presbyterian Church. Her father General
Foster, was in Cincinnati attending the G.
A. r.. encampment when the accident oc-
CURED. but was relegraphed Immediately.
From others who saw the accident, diff

extent of the damage he had done, but was
stopped by witnesses, who grabbed the
down, he said that he was in hurry to
get to a train and gave this as a reason
for his fast driving. 1t is probable that ne
will be arrested and held at least until the
coroner or other proper authorities inveSti-
gate the case thoroughly.

THE TRAFFIC OF AUGUST
THE LOADED CAR MOVEMENT WAS
HEAVY BEYOND PRECEDENT.
The Vandalia's Best Day in Freight
garding Freight Rates.

In the month of August there were re-
ceived and forwarded at Indianapolis lis, 1872
cars, 94,26S being loaded, surprising all for
mer records. In August, 1897, there were
handled at this city s7.504 loaded cars; in
1896. 1929; in 1895. SO273: in 1894, S4,2S5; in
1898, 6s397; in 1892. 91,SsO, the business of
August, 1892, being the heaviest known up
to that time. The larger gains last month
were shown with the Pennsylvania lines
the Vandalia and the Big Four; still, every
line did better business in August than
in the corresponding month of 1897 There
are some remarkable things concerning the
business of last month. The grain move.
ment for export was much lighter than
last year, while the shipments of flour and
cerealine products were the largest in any
August of years, and the shipments of pro-
visions were large. West-bound business
was fully 80 per cent. heavier than in Au-
gust OF last year, but the most rema rka BILE
gains were in the immense quantities of
fruits, vegetables and other pershable arti-
cles The business of the refrigerator cars
was far in excess of any month in years.
AT the city freight depots 20 per cent. more
package freight was handled this year, and
on the bulk tracks so per cent. more bust
ness was done
