Good Crops.

The farmers of this and nearby
counties are highly gratifed over the
outlook for the different crops, which
give promise of greater returns than
for many years. Copious rains of an
average gentle nature and light Wis.
itation of destructive bugs are the
principal causes for the crop success
of 1890. Potatoes and corn are in
the lead, particularly the former,which
output will be enormous. There will
be an abundance of wheat and rye,
while hay and oats are fair. Along
Roaring Creek Valley, leading to
Catawissa, farmers are feeling blue on
account of fierce hail storm which a
week ago destroyed the potato and
corn crop. Fortunately the wheat
and rye had been cut. Outside ol
that valley the farmers offer no com
! plant. The berry crops have netted
| nice amount of money for the farm,
ers. Not since 1894 have black
berries and raspberries been so plentl
full. The grape crop will be very big

Landslide Causes Death and De-
struction.
PORT JERVIS, n. Y, July 31.-The
accidents on the Erie railroad growing
out of the landslide mile east of Lack
AWAKEN Saturday night were not as Sc
rious as at first reported. An Erie
freight train, east bound, which turned
over on the west bound track, however,
caused the death of the fireman and en-
gineer of a derailed engine belonging to
the west bound Chicago express No. 3,
the vestibule passenger train for Buffalo
which left New York at I o'clock Satur-
day night. A number of the passengers
on the express train were also injured.
The wreck, which occurred shortly be-
fore midnight, was preceded by cloud
burst and storm which lasted two hours.
A section of the bank fell on the east
bound tracks directly in front Of the
freight train. Several trees went down
with the rocks and the earth, and the
sFeight cars and engine were turned over
directly across the west bound tracks OF
the Erie road. Sixty freight cars con-
stituted the train, though only % were
derailed, and the debris was piled up on
the west bound tracks just as the No. 8
Chicago express put in an appearance,
running at the rate of 80 miles an hour.
The engine Of the express train crashed
into the wreck, and the baggage car,
combination and buffet car and two Pull
man sleepers were piled upon the tracks
Immediately in front of the wrecked
freight cars. The first sleeper was split
into two parts as result of the acci-
dent, and the passengers were thrown 81
feet down bank. Fire at once broke
out, and four cars of No. and nine OF
| the freight cars were burned.
Following is a list of the killed: Stephen

| rallied engine, and Fred Sells, Port Jer

The Junior American Mechanics
are considering a change in the
name of their Order from Junior
Order United American Mechanics
to United Americans. The supreme
body of the Order is discussing the
matter. Those advocating a change
claim that the name as it now is, is
misleading, and leaves one under
the impression that the order is
composed of persons under twenty
one years of age, and they are me-
chanics by profession. 1t is to get
away from this erroneous idea that a
change in the name is being consid'
cred. The Order has quite a large
membership in Bloomsburg bu
whether they favor change in the
name or not, we do not know.

The Black Sheep of a Dark Race.
And How the Negro Race Protect Each Other.

Lynching usually takes place in the
agricultural districts where homes are
more or less isolated, and therefore
peculiarly exposed to the stort OF de-
predations for which Judge Lynch
metes out his swiftest and most direct
punishment. The Southern States be-
ing almost wholly agricultural, white
families are most frequently found
surrounded by those of the black race.
The latter are, as a rule, trustworthy,
or at worst harmless; but among them
are certain number of depraved
creatures sure to accept every oppor-
tunity to do evil. They are the black
sheep of dark flock. And just here
is the place to note one of the cardin-
al faults of the Southern negros: they
rarely fail to harbor black criminals,
no matter how heinous their acts. A
fugitive reeking with the blood OF
murder, and of outrage infinitely
worse, finds sympathetic asylum in
every cabin he comes to. 1t is the
race blindly justifying itself as against
its superior enemy, the white man.
Before the negroes were freed there
were very few heinous crimes booked
against them in the South; since the
close Of the war the one supremely ex'
asperating outrage has become more
and more frequent; and as lynching
certainly follows, mob executions have
multiplied apace. Other crimes, some
times not very terrible ones, have
however, called for Judge Lynch''
swift punishment. A negro who OBJ

Siler will Likely Retire.

The unfortunate and uncalled for
criticism of Referee George Siler's de-
cision in the Jeffries-Sharkey fight will
in all probability bring to a close the
prominent and important part which
Siler has taken in many of the big
bouts during the years since he demon
strated his effectiveness as a referee. No
true sporting man has ever had the
audacity to openly question Siler's de-
cision when he declared Jef.ries the
winner III the last big mill. 1t is true
that there has been an exhibition of the
who style themselves sports ana who
Sharkey. But investigation has shown
in every case that these FELLOWSHIP
styled sports-iost all tina. they could
conveniently spare, and more, too, in
some cases, on Sharkey.
y man who will complain when he
loses money on sporting event is not
a true blue sport. This being the case
the howl that these small-bore fellows
has made does not lessen the character
no. the standing of George Sier as
referee.
Because of the opposition, however,
he will hardly care to enter the ring
again as an official. Tom O'Rourke
Sharlsey's manager, has barred Siler
from officiating at any of the fights to
be held before his club in Gotham. In
doing this O'Rourke has merely taken
advantage of the howl raised by the
small-bore sports to vent his own dis
appointment in the failure of his man
Sharkey to win the championship from
