SEASON A MONTH LATE.
Rather Discouraging Report ns to
Condition of Things AEricult-
ural i'm Missouri.

COLUMBIA. MO-. April 11.-(Special)
The United States weather crop service,
Missouri section, issued to-day the follow
ing bulletin for the week ending April TO-
1.-The spring of 1899 goes on record as one
of the most backward in the history of
the state the season being now nearly one
month late. Except in the extreme south
ern counties. little or-no farm work has
yet been done. and in many sections the
ground is so full of water that, even with
the most favorable weather, it will be from
five to ten days beforevit can be worked.
Only In a few Of the; extreme southwest
ern counties is the ground reported in good
treme southern counties, oats are about all
sown. Some land has been prepared for
corn and q few fields planted. Early pota-
toes have been planted. and gardens made,
but in the central and northern sections
practically nothing has yet been done be.
yond the sowing of clover and grass seed
and few fields of oats. 1t is probable
that the acreage sown to oats will be
smaller than usual, owing to the lateness
of the season.
Frequent freezing and thawing during
the past month have been very severe on
the wheat crop and in the northern and
couraging. Many correspondents report
that one-haif tho crop has been killed. In
eastern counties the crop Is generally in
better condition. and in localities is looking
fine. Much of the late aown. however. has
been killed, and reports indicate that in
all sections considerable will be plowed up.
Glover has also been greatly damaged in
most sections. being heaved out and frozen.
The latest reports regarding fruit buds in
dicate that apples and sour cherries are
generally safe. but only part of the pear
and plum buds escaped. while peach buds
are very nearly all dead. Strawberries are
reported In good condition. as a rule. Grass
has made little or no growth as yet. and
feed Is reported scarce In many places"

JEFFERSON CITY, April u.-(Special.) }
Further information concerning the action
last night OF the Democratic caucus election
committee discloses that Judge Hawkins
and Mr.. Barrett, the two members of the
committee who were present. did not de-
eide definitely to include Kansas City in
the new election bill. The fact that Henry
j. Latshaw and Representative Cardwell
requested that the bill be made to o'appiy to
Kansas City and that no one protested led
10 the report being circulated that such
was the action OF the committee.
Judge Hawkins stated to-day that the
committee derived its power from the eau
body to draw up an election bill for St.
Louis. He said that with his consent the
committee would never include Kansas City
in the provisions of the act. He had pro-
commissioner scheme. and then when 1t
was suggested that the commissioners be
three and all Democrats he again declared
his opposition.
. He said that he would do nothing de-
signedly to pollute the ballot box.

new YORK BRIDGE DISASTER.
Structure Causes Loss Of
Four Lives.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE temporary
superstructure OF the big Willis avenue
bridge now being built over the Harlem
river collapsed this afternoon, killing four
men and seriously injuring six, one of
whom may die. Twelve or more other
workEen also received injuries of a more
or less serious nature. The dead are: Lewis
Beattie William Delaney. 65 years old;
Walter Delaney. son OF the above, % years
old: Thomas Grady, Inasons' helper.
The accident occurred at 2:30 o'clock and
was caused by too great a weight being
put on the travelling derrick that crossed
the superstructtire.
The superstructure- connected the north
shore sustaining wall with a pier. and was
a fiimsy affair. stretching 800 feet across
deep water. built in three sections, one
above another. to 4 height of about sixty
feet Over this a massive travelling crane
or carrier was operated. Twenty-Five to
thirty men were employed on the struc-
ture when the collapse occurred A heavy
load of steel beams was being sent out on
the crane. when the timbers gave way and
the entire structure went down with a
crash. AS the supporting timbers began
to give. the heavily laden crane ran rap
idly forward for a short distance and top
pied into the river. AS 1t went down, the
upright crashed into the wOrkmen strik-
ing the Delaneys and Beattie. killing them
instantly, and terribly mangling their bod
les.
Many of the men were carried down in
the wreck. Only n few succeeded in get
ting to the pier. the majority either falling
into the water or into the tangle of iron
and woodwork.
