LATER.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 13.-A careful
and systematic search for the dead
and injured in the Sheraden horror Of
yesterday reveals tonight list of
twenty-three dead and 202 injured.
The complete list of the injured may
never be known, as many were able
to get away without making their
identity known.
A conservative estimate, made by
those thoroughly familiar with the
situation, places the number more. OF
less seriously hurt at not less than 300.
A few feet below the wreckage lies
the big thirty-six-inch main Of the
Philadelphia Company, which comes
from the gas fields in the Southwestern
portion of the State and supplies the
McKee's Rocks and lower Allegheny
districts with natural gas. tits feared
that this main may burst and cause
another terrific explosion. Great
effort is being made to prevent such
an accident.

ANOTHER YEAR FOR The Fair.
Congress Takes Action for the
Postponment of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition to 1904.

St. Louis, May 10.-Formal action
for the postponement of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition to the year 1904
was taken on May End, when the Secere-
tary of State, John Hay, sent to the
United States Senate letter stating
the necessity for an additional year in
which to prepare the Exposition. The
reason for the postponement exist in
fact that many foreign governments
would be unable to participate in the
Exposition in a beftting manner if
compelled to prepare themselves for
1903. In as much as the plans for the
Exposition contemplated a Worlds
Fair in the broadest sense of the term,
it became evident that without the
complete participation Of the leading
governments of the world it would fall
far short of the ideal which the pro-
jcetors have in mind. The postpone
ment Of. the Fair to 1904 is provided
for in an amendment to the Sundfy
Civil Appropriations bill now pend
ing in the Senate offered by Senator
r. NJ. Cockrell of Missouri. The
amendment provides for the dedica-
tion of the buildings of the Exposition
on April 3Oth, 1903; for opening the
Exposition to visitors not later than
May LIST, 1904, and for closing not later
than December LIST following. The
amendment also provides for the coin
age of $3.50, 900 in gold dollar pieces to
be used as souvenir coins and to be a
part of the s5,ooo,o coo appropriated by
Congress for the Fair.
The postponement will not only per-
NIT the participation of all foreign
governments upon a much broader
scale than otherwise would have been
possible, but it viii assure a complete
exposition in many other details. The
plans of the Exposition management
up to the time of action for postpone
ment were based upon the expectation
of holding the Exposition in 1903, but,
as President Francis has said, "While
the management were ready to hold
the Exposition in that year, the addi-
tional year will enable them to pro-
duee a far more magnificent and
completed Exposition

HEAVY HAIL STORM.
Sections of Marion County and
Lower North Carolina Suffer
From Sunday Nights Storm.

Sellers, S. c., May IA very de-
structive storm of wind and heavy
rain passed through this section last
night about 8 O'Clock. At o'clock
yesterday afternoon it was hailing
heavily at Rennert, N. c., about 40
miles above here on the line of the
Florence railroad. The storm zig
Jagged across the country, coming by
way of Clio, Marlboro county; then
coming down on a line with the Latta
branch to Latta, and thence by this
place, going nearly south from this
point. The lightning flashed almost
continuously, while the roar OF the
thunder was. to be heard every
moment. The wind at times blew
with great force, fblowing down trees
and leveling fences and almost cover
ing the ground with leaves and broken
twigs from the trees -.
The hail began to- fall about 8
O'Clock, and for % minutes Gne cease
less patter could be heard and when
the. storm passed the ground was al
most white with the fallen hail. The
Jumps were abont the size of marbles
and in some instances much larger.
Great destruction was apparent on
everv hand this morning. The ground
under the peach, plum and apple trees
was covered with the youngIfruit beat
en- off by the relentless hail.
Many of the young poultry, where
exposed, were killed outright, and in
one instance house cat caught out in
the storm was killed stone dead.
Yonug corn and tobacco were whip
ped to a frazzle and cotton in many
places was completely destroyed.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Columbia, May 13.-The temperature
was again about 6 degrees per day
above normal during the week ending
Monday morning, May 18th, the aver
age for the week having been 76 de-
grees, with a maximum of SO degrees
at Bowman on the 4th, and mini
mum of 48 degrees at Gafney on the
9th. The sunshine averaged about
normal: with partly cloudy days and
clear nights.
The rainfall for the week was gen.
orally light, except in spots over the
southeastern counties and the Savan-
nah valley, where it was copious, and
of great benefit to crops, although it
failed to thoroughly relieve the
drought at any point. There were
also numerous but widely scattered
showers on the 18th over the entire
State, but they were local, partial,
generally light, and entirely INSULT
cient. In the Pee Dee sections the
drought is becoming serious. There
were heavy showers on the early morn
ing of the 18th, in the central and
northeastern counties, and possibly
throughout the State, but they occur
red too late to be fully reported in this
bulletin
The week was favorable for farm
work which made rapid progress.
Planting operations are practically
finished, expect on bottom lands that
have been either too wet or too hard
to cultivate.
It is the exception this year to have
poor stands of corn reported, and much
less than the usual amount Of replant-
ing has been necessary owing to birds
and worms. Corn has a healthy ap-
pearance, and is we'll cultivated, most
of it having received its first and some
its second working. AS yet, the dry
weather has not hurt corn to any ap-
preciable extent.
Cotton is up, or coming up, to from
Every good's to fairly good'' stands
over the whole State, with slight ex-
ceptions limited to late paintings,
where the ground is too dry for germi-
nation. Much has been chopped to
stands, and considerable has been cul-
tivated. The plants are sturdy and
healthy in appearance.
Tobacco is not doing so well as
last week, owing to the prevailing
dry weather that injured stands, but
where sufficient rain fell the crop
continues in excellent condition.
Wheat failed materially and will be
below average. 1t is heading and
some is turning color, Oats are ex-
ceedingly variable, but generally
stand in need of rain. Harvest has
made slow progress. Truck and sea-
island cotton were benefited by the
rains along the coast. Rice planting
is practically finished; stands are
good. most favorable in the George
town district. There is an increased
number of reports on peaches drop
ping. Sweet potato slips are being
set out. Colorado beetles on white
potatoes are more numerous and de-
structive than ever before known.
Gardens, pastures and minor crops
need general, soaking rain.

Mrs. Henriette @. Olberg, su~perlnten-
dent Flax and Hemp Exhibition at the
Omaha Exhibition, writes from Albert
Lea, Mimi, as follows:
''This spring contracted an aggra-
waiting cold, having been exposed to the
damp weather catarrh Of my fhrpaf
and head followed, which persisted In
remaining, notwithstanding I applied
the usual remedies.
"Reading Of the merits Of Peruna in
the papers, I decided to try it and 0
found that all that has been said Of your
medicine in such cases is true.
clam very pleased with the satisfac-
tory results obtained from using Peruna,
am entirely well, and consider it a most
valuable family medicine"
HENRIETTE @. oLBERG.
Summer colds require prompt treat
menf. They are always grave, and
sometimes dangerous. The prompt
ness and surety with which Peruna
acts IN these cases has saved many
lives. A large dose of Peruna should
be taken at the first appearance Of cold
in summer, followed by small and oft
repeated doses. There Is no other rem
edy that medical science can furnish, SO
reliable and quick in its action as Peruna.
