BICYCLIST INJURED.

A German bicyclist while en route for the Lighthouse yesterday after noon about 1.3O o'clock met with what may prove to be a serious accident. He had just started down the hil! which leads into the Cove and was go- ing at a terrific rate of speed, when a car at his rear rang for him to get out of the way. He tried to turn off the track, but his wheel getting caught threw him over the handiebar. He was picked up by some spectators
 when it was seen that the upper part of his eye was hanging by piece of skin
 He and his wheel were put upon the next car bound for the city, his wheel being but little damaged. He refused to give his name and was brought here by his companions. It is thought they are strangers in the city. The wit nesses agree that it was only by the quickness of the motorman and good luck that the car did not run over him

AT UNIFIED CHURoH.
Rcv. Arthur E. Frazier Conducted the Union Service,

Union Service.
 The congregations of Center and United churches worshipped in the United church edlfice yesterday fore noon. There was an unusually large attendance, the church being well filled. The preaching was by Rev. Arthur E. Frazier of Sioux City, Ia, recent graduate of Yale Divinity school. He is we'll and favorably known among To- cal church people, having been engaged in his chosen work to large extent while still in the seminary. His text yesterday was from John, twenty-tirst chapter, fifteenth, sixteenth and seven- teenth verses, which read: "So when they had dined Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lowest thou Me more than these? He saith unto Him, Yea, Lord, Thou knowest that love Thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs, He saith unto him second time Simon, son of Jonas, lowest thou Me? He saith unto Him, Yea, Lord, Thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him third time, Simon, son of Jonas lowest thou Me? Peter was grieved because He said it a third time and he said unto Him, Lord Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee. He said unto him, Feed my sheep"
 The speaker said in part: Great and mysterious as the Lord is, we feel not as strangers to Him. We comprehend His thoughts as He comprehends us. We are made after His image and are to grow like Him, to have His speech, freedom and truth. Not with fear and trembling, but with faith and courage, are we to take council. In his freedom, light and power we are to be raised. There are many worthy inspirations which men have; they are ambitious | for success and thirst for knowledge, but above these is an infinite inspira- | tion."
 The speaker then showed how these | inspirations serve to assist man l through life and make him stronger | but that it is necessary for him to have 1 the divine inspiration as God in Christ is the foremost in life.

drid and the outside world was cut to-
day.
Pending the execution of Admiral
SIMPSONS plan OF campaign, our ships
form a Gordon about the entrance OF
Santiago harbor to prevent the posi-
BILE egress of the Spaniards.
Communication has also been had
with the shore. The mountains and
hills which surround Santiago are in
full possession of the Cuban insur-
gents.
The reconnaissance made by our
ships, principally the smaller yachts
and torpedo-boats, which are able to
creep close inshore at night, has pretty
definitely determined the location and
character of the defsnses of the harbor.
Several new batteries have been thrown
up on the high ground on each side Of
the entrance, and it is evident the
Spaniards are prepared to make a
strong resistance.

Indications are that the wheat crop
OF 1898 will be the greatest in the his
tory OF the country. From figures that
are being collected and compiled by
some oil the big Chicago firms, based on
the reports of experts in every section
OF the country, the oncoming wheat
crop is estimated to exceed 800, 900, 900
bushels. All the conditions are report
ed as being of the most favorable ma
ture, and while there is a decrease in
acreage the total yield will be more
than double that of 1897. In the fall
OF 1896 there was an extraordinary in
crease in acreage, but the conditions
were such that a large share of the
crop was plowed up the following
spring, and at harvest time much of
The remaining crop was not worth cut
ting. Kansas looms up as the banner
state this year, an increase of 20 per
cent in the acreage having been report
ed. Estimates on the yield vary all
the way from 20, 900, 600 bushels to
100, 600, 900 bushels, while the com
bined crops Of Kansas, Nebraska and
Oklahoma is estimated at 100, 600, 900
bushels. OF this 80, 900, 900 to 40, OOO,-
900 bushels are credited to Oklahoma
and Kansas will have 80, 600, 900 to
80, 000, 900 bushels.
AS compared with the planting in
Illinois In the fall of 1896, there has
been a decrease of 10 per cent in the
acreage, but In spite of this the condi-
tons in the Sucker State are about the
same as in Missouri, and the apparent
decrease In acreage is discounted by
the amount of wheat that was plowed
up in the spring of last year. The
1897 crop in Illinois amounted to a lit
tie less than 10, 900, 900 bushels,
whereas it is generally conceded that
this years crop will be nearly, if not
fully, treble. or between 20, 900, 600
and 80, ZOO, 600 bushels. Texas will
a 90, 900, 900 bushel crop. Never
before has the wheat looked so fine in
the lone Star state as is does now.
The harvest will be unusually early
and agents writing to their houses here
report that q great part of the crop will
be harvested and ready for shipment in
June.
