Crops in Tennessee.

Nashville, Aug. 6.--The weekly
crop bulletin issued to-day by ii. @.
Bate, director Tennessee section,
United States department of agri-
culture, says:
"The long and disastrous drouth
was broken in many sections July
3Oth, by local rains, which revived
falling crops, but in many localities
scarcely sufficient fell TO materially
benefit them, and the hot sunshine
follow ing destroyed much of the
good effect of the rains. In the
districts where little or no rain fell
the situation is becoming very Sc
rious, especially as to early corn and
other food crops, the former being
in many places beyond recovery and
is being cut for fodder; late corn is
yet in condition to be revived, but
much shortened. Cotton, although
small, has fruited well, but is now
rapidly shedding. Tobacco has with
stood the drouth fairly well, and
where rain has fallen the crop looks
well. Peanuts are also in fair cOu-
dition. MilIet and peas are almost
failures. Irish potatoes are doing
no good. Young grass and clover
crops are mostly killed by the
drouth. Sweet potatoes that have
had rain are in fair condition, Gar
dens and pastures are about ruined.
The late hay crop will be short.
Fruit is still dropping and inferior.
Good rains fell on large portion of
the state yesterday, which may in a
measure revive failing crops"

CHARTERS GRANTED
TOLOCAL COMPANIES
Scrantonians at the Head of Concern Which Will
Build New Trolley System in and About
Scranton and Wi1kes-Barre.

pany or the Scranton Railway COM
pany itself has secured franchises for
almost every desirable street in Scran-
ton. The franchises were conditioned
that the road should be built in two
years The company took advantage
of only portion of its franchises. but
continued to hold all the streets to the
exclusion Of other companies.
AN ERRONEOUS VIEW.
1t was generally supposed that fran
thises ro, the streets on which no road
was built within two years would lapse
and the control of the street for rail-
way purposes revert to the city. This,
however. was decided to be AN errOn-
eous view. The court held that even
though a road was not built. the holder
of the franchise could continue TO hold
ii until councils declared the franchise
rescinded. In other words. the forfeit :
ure clause was held to be non n-auto-
matte. As conditions prevailed in
Scranton councils. this decision meant
that the Scranton Railway company
could do the dog in the manger act as
long as il had its usually efficient lob
byists at work. Now, however. the
Scranton Railway company forfeits it's
rights on every street on which it is
not. daily. operating a trolley line, and
in a case like that of the Roaring
Brook bridge ii must allow any other
duly franchsed company the use of
its tracks if councils deem it prefer-
able not to have two tracks on the
bridge
The new laws by similar operation
also solve the difficulty the big rapid
transit line was experiencing in get
ting into Wilkes-Rarre.
When seen at his home yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Connell said, in relation
to the purposes of the new companies: /:
1T is too early yet to give the de-
tails publicity, but you may quote me
as saying that the roads will all be
built"
There is hardly Il question as to the
ability of the new companies to secure
franchises. In this city the public is
clamoring for better street. car service.
and has come to believe that the only
way we will ever get it IS by COM
petition. The old company has con-
fessed it can not give Scranton such a
service as a city of its size and pro-
gressiveness demands, except by a
process of pieceneal Improvement.
PATIENCE EXHAUSTED.
The city's patience has long since
been exhausted waiting for a decent
service To result from this tinkering
and patching policy, and any new COM
pany of unuuestioned stability that
will come along and ask for the privi-
lcge of putting in IL complete. first
class street car system will not have
to ask for the privilege a second time,
it is safe to say.
The new roads are to be modern In
every respect. One of the modern fea-
lures will be the underground cable or
ali the principal streets. This will do
away with all poles and overhead
wires.
The new trolley acts make it prac-
tically immaterial to the Connell Park
ana Speedway company what diSposi-
tion is to be made of the writ of al
Tentative mandamuS granted by Judge
Weiss. Friday to compel the attorney
general to bring quo wa,ranto pro-
ceedings to attack their charter.

The handsome new armOry of the
Thirteenth regiment is now completed

Workmen within the magnificent struc

almost perfect manner for the purpose
for Which 1t is to be used. II has \
frontage of 16O feet on Adams avenue,
and on Myrtle street takes up the en-
tire block back to Jefferson avenue.
The style of architecture is massive,
yet graceful. embracing the outlines of
fortress and castle and is one we'll
suited to the character of the building.
The front is heavy and dignified in ap-
pearance and is broken by towers at
either end and on each side of the main
entrance to the building. The towers
are circular and nave a battlcment ef-

The base of the building is rough

is polished red brick. and the blending
of grey stone with it makes very
pretty combination.
