WEEKLY CROP REVIEW.
The Mark Lane Express Weekly Re. view of the East Indian and
 European Crop Outlook.

London. July 2.-The Mark Lane Express, in it's weekly review of the crop situation, says:
 "The official report giving the yield of the East Indian wheat crop as 30,926,000 quarters should mean that nearly 6,0OO. .0o0 will be available for export, but as the granaries are completely depleted, it is not likely that more than 2,0c0, 900 will be ex- ported"
 Summarizing the continental posi- tion, the Mark Lane Express says it expects over the average wheat yield in Russia. Spain and Servia, an av- craze yield in Italy, Austria Hungary, Roumania and the Netherlands, and below the average yield in Germany, Poland and Scandinavia.
 The feature of the maize trade con tinues to be the spirited competition of Roumania. Bulgaria and Turkey with the United States and Argentina.

THE GREAT APPLE CROP.
Interesting Figures Showing the Relative Value of Apples ana
 Wheat to the Country.

Carbondale, H.. July 2.--Recent sta- tistics have brought to light fact concerning the apple crop which, as compared with our wheat crop, is generally not known--that in dollars and cents the apple crop is much larg- CT. In 1900 the apple crop was 215.. 000,000 barrels, or 53s s.O0O ,0OO bushels. At basis of $2 per barrel, which is considered . conservative estimate. the crop netted $430,000,000, or near ly one hundred and twenty-five mil. the wheat.
 On percentage basis the applecrop reaches nearly fifty per cent. moro than the wheat. Our export of ap- pies in the barrel exceeds four million barrels a year, and is increasing enormously. Our apples have fixed value from Liverpool to St. Peters, burg. and last year our shippers to foreign ports experienced consider. able difficulty in supplying the de- mands for our apples. This trade had grown for several years, but took an enormous bound after the Paris exposition, owing to the fine Ameri- can display and the manner and ener. gy with which the American fruit growers presented the merits of tho American apple.
 Reports covering most of the state shows that the canker worm has made it's appearance in large numbers especially in Jefferson and Wayne counties. lnsprayed orchards present the appearance of having been swept by fire. In Missouri the crop is re- ported in good condition, except m isolated sections.

DEATH-DEALING LIGHTNING.
Eleven Boys Instantly Kiiied and . Twelfth Probably Fatally Injured By
 . single Holt.

Chicago, ouly 2.-A single stroke of ligtning yesterday, killed II boys and probably fatally injured the twelfth. The flash was accompani- ed by heavy thunder which broke over the city at i2:50 p. m.
 The boys, it is said, rushed to the pier at the foot of Montrose boule. yard to seek shelter from the rain. Suddenly there was a great flash of lightning, and people living in the viz cinity heard a terrific crash. A po- liceman rushed to the pier and discov- cred that the bolt had demolished the pier, which was of heavy construction, precipitating the whole structure into the water. Knowing that the boys had gathered there, he called assist. ance, and in half an hour, all the bod ies were recovered from the lake.
 The electric bolt burned out the telephone wires in the vicinity and for some time, only meagre and wid- iy varying reports could be obtained. The boys were in swimming, having fled to the lake to escape the in. tense heat. When the rain began to fall, and it became evident that a severe electrical storm was coming, they rushed to shelter they had built on the pier for use while dress ing and undressing. Willie Ander. soI, 12 years of age, was the only survivor, and he was badly hurt. He managed, however, to crawl to shore and was staggering along when he hurrying to the scene. In few agonizing gasps he gave the officer a bare idea of the horrible ending tc an hours sport, and then tainted. He was carried to nearby house where medical assistance was rendered. The stroke of lightnlng was the most SC. rious that has struck in this vicinity in years. The roar, which followed it was deafening.
 The pierwas demolished in a second giving the boys not the slightest chance of escape. In age the bath CTS ranged from 12 to 15 years, ana evidently were from the poore, classes.
 It was learned later, that one of the victims was a man of 45.
 Patrol wagons filled with police rushed to the place and began ths work of recovering the bodies. The wreckage was removed with little difficulty and the bodies, burned ant mutilated, placed in the wagon anc removed to the undertaking establish. ments in the vicinity.

Hanged at Marion.

John Bateman, colored, was hanged at Marion on the 18th in the presence of as many people as were allowed
 by law to witness executions, and in an inclosure surrounded by ne groes, who had assembled to see the condemned man led from the Jail yard. Bateman was convicted of poisoning his wife and the evidence against him was largely made out by his own confession at various times to different persons. and yet on the scaffold he protested his innocence, saying that he did not know the cause of his wife's death Notwith- standing his protestations of inno- cence no one believed him and 1t is thought that at no time did he aban- don hope of intervention on the part of the governor. He knew that an effort for communication of his sen tence had been made and he had in mind the fact that the scaffold on which he was to be hung had been built for negro named Louis Strong, whose sentence of death had been com muted to life Imprisonment by Gov. Jones at practically the last moment.

THE BENCH VERSUS PULPIT.
Judge Palmer. 0f Denver, Uses His Coign of Vantage Against
 Helpless Victims.

Denver, Col, July 2.-Judge Palmer, of the district court, yesterday severe ly reprimanded Rev. M. A. Rader and Rev. W. H. Talmage, who were ac- cused of contempt of court, and dis charged them.
 The case against Waller D. Wyn- koop, secretary of the Christian En- deavor society, was dismissed without word. No decision was announced on the question of continuing perma- nently the injunctions in saloon cases, for criticism of which Messrs. Rader, Talmage and Wynkoop had been cited for contempt.
 In the course of his remarks con. cerning the two cases Judge Palmer said that certain of the clergy throughout the whole country, through a tendency to stray from beaten paths in search of something sensational, have weakened the cause of Christianity. He did not know whether the old way was distasteful to them or they found it necessary to enter foreign fields in order to att tract people whom they thought might be interested and thus, per- chance, preserve for themselves an easy existence? He said he proposed to exercise for the edifcation of Messrs. Rader and Talmage, who, he said. were deserving of severer pun ishment, the Christian virtue for bearance, and although they were held guilty of contempt, he would dis charge them with the understanding that the remarks directed to them should be considered in the nature of . reprimand.
