WEATHER AND CROP REPORT.

Boston, Sept. 10. - The following
statement of the weather and crop
conditions of New England compiled
from the reports of correspondents
throughout the section for the U. S.
department of Agriculture:
Conditions prevailing throughout
the section during the first five days
of the week increased the widespread
damage to growing crops. Southern
New England during those days re-
ceived no rainfall and all parts of the
sections suffered severely from the
winds Of the 18th. A large per cent
of the fruit crop was blown off the
trees, much corn was lodged and
many fences blown down. Buck
wheat will be light crop though it
has been greatly benefited by the re-
cent rains. Factories are busy can
ming sweet corn, but will be compelled
to quit during the coming week. The
corn is so far matured that the rains
cannot revive it. Silos are now being
filed. Corn cutting has terminated
in the southern section. Fall. plow-
ing and seeding is now possible.
During the week forest fires have
ragged in Maine, Massachusetts and
Connecticut. Much damage has re-
suited. The rains, however, have ef-
fectually checked them.
GRAss.-Rowen has now been var
vested; the crop is everywhere light.
Little feed remains in the pastures.
GRA1N.ACorn cutting still contin-
ues in northern localities. The crop
is generally considered medium. In
some districts the buckwheat crop is
a complete failure.
FRU1T.-The dry weather had not
only caused much fruit to fall but
rendered that remaining on the trees
quite susceptible to the force of vio-
lent winds. A large percentage of the
apple, pear, and peach crop fell during
the first dBy of the week. A large
part of the winter apples remain on
the trees, but the portion that fell is
complete loss, not being mature
enough for cider. Grapes and cram
berries suffered less than any other
fruit.
VEGETABLES. Potato digging con-
tinues. Correspondents from New
Hampshire state that the crop is of
marketable quality, but the yield is
light. Early planted are very poor.
Onions in Massachusetts are about an
average crop.

special to the Union from Quechee,
VT, last night says: A robbery Of
the regulation Wild West type was
perpetrated here tonight about 1890
O'Clock, the victim being Postmaster
Scott Tinkham, proprietor of gen.
eral store. Two men did the job at
the point of revolvers, and then made
their escape on horseback.
Mr.. Tinkham was in his office when
two strangers entered and ordered
him to hold up his hands or they would
blow his head off. Thinking someone
was trying to play joke on him, Mr..
Tinkham was not disposed to obey
the order, SO he simply looked at his
visitors with curiosity. The display
of two huge revolvers which looked
veryzbusiness-like changed his mind
finally, although he did not throw up
his bands even after realizing that it
was = case Of robbery. Mr.. Tinkham
saysthat he neglected to put up his
hands because he was 50 worked up
that he did not think to do so even
WIN told several times.
However, the robbers took his
course to be display Of extraordinary
nerve, and for this they complimented
him saying: "You are the bravest
man we have met in some time"
The robbers were evidently men ac-
quainted with the region for they
called the victim by his last name.
They asked where the key to bis safe
was, and on learning that Mr.. Tink-
hams daughter had the key to the
government safe said that they want
ed no part of the governments money.
They inquired for the mans private
safe and made him open that. From
it they took about s2O7, after abs
tracing $50 from Mr.. Tinkham' s
pocket.
After rumaging about the store,
the men took their departure, making
their escape on horseback. Previous
to going they told Mr.. Tinkham that
he might think that he could catch
them, as he had telephone. They
said that they would cut out the
phone and take it with them when
they left. This they neglected to do,
however.
The men said they had no use for
coppers, of which Mr.. Tinkham had a
bag, but they took his watch from his
pocket. Tinkham was then bound and
gagged while the men went out of the
store taking handful Of knives from
the show case.
Mr.. Tinkham worked out his hands
in about half an hour and at once
communicated with the nearest au-
thorities by telephone and also with
White River Junction and Wood
stock. Posses of men were 1T once
organized in all the surrounding towns
and search was commenced for the
robbers. The description Of the men
stated that they wore slouch hats Of
a cowboy type and leggins like those
of the militia. The sheriffs from
White River Junction also participant
ed in the hunt.
A party of men started out from
Woodstock and about midnight met
two men on horseback running their
steeds at top speed. They were or
dered to halt and some Of the posse
grabbed the horses heads. Six or
seven shots were exchanged and the
robbers made their escape in the
woods.
Two horses were stolen yesterday
in Rutland and the one taken by the
Woodstock party answers. the de-
scription of the missing black one.
The other horse got away in the
scramble.
