DEAD BUZZARDS, FOUND
IN WATERW0RKS POND

DAWSON, May 2S.-It has just been dis
covered that the reservoir Of the Dawson
Waterworks Company has had very I'M
usual use made of 1t, recently. few
days ago a daring youngster climbed to
the top of the tank and. peering over its
edge, was rather startled TO behold the
carcasses of two or three buzZards float
ing serenely on top of the water The
matter was reported and the superintend-
ent of the waterworks company and May
or ]. w. F. Lowrey had the report cor
roborated and the dead birds removed.
1t is needless to state that the patrons
of the waterworks company were very
disagreeably surprised upon hearing of
the matter, which has occasioned great
amount of comment all over the city.
Affidavits concerning the occurrence
were promptly, executed and an effort win
be made to have them introduced as ev-
idence in the suit of the city against the
waterworks company, which has been
heard in the state courts and is now
pending in the federal courts. The evil
dence in the case has been closed, but the
city will endeavor to get in these facts
concerning the reservoirs having been
put to the use of a buzzard morgue.

Daniel street. out beyond the East Ten
nessee shops. Saturday afternoon and was
IL was early Saturday afternoon
when young George fell into the reservoir
and II was about half past nine o'clock
before his body was recovered.
Lon Clayton. the 9-year-old son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Paul Clayton, who lives at 50
Garfbaldi street. was the only witness to
the tragedy. though the reservoir is in full
view OF a number OF houses near by, and
only a few yards from Mcdaniel street.
The two boys were playing around the
reservoir and. according to the Clayton
boys story. which is rather confused.
John George was standing on one OF the
beams which runs across the reservoir
throwing rocks at frogs. He lost his bal
snce and fell in as he went to throw a
large rock.
Young Clayton was very much fright
ened and was afraid to tell any one about
the accident TO his friend. but instead
went on TO play with several other boys
During the afternoon he told Henry Ding
leh. a little friend. who lives at 1872 Ira
street. II was through young Dingler that
the family learned of the drowning about
seven o'clock that evening.

EXCELLENT CROPS, SAYS
WEEKLY CROP REPORT

The weekly crop report issued Monday
by the weather bureau gives the fol-
lowing review OF the condition of crops:
The weather of the week was favorable
for farm work. and crops. as a rule. have
been well cultivated. Complaints of lack
OF moisture are becoming general. al
though copious showers occurred In a few
eastern ounties. There has been little
rain in the northwestern counties for sew
eral weeks and the situation in that sec
ton OF the state Is rather serious. For
the state at large, the general condition
OF crops is regarded as excellent. particu-
larry corn and cotton. The latter crop has
good stands. is well worked, and is max
ing vigorous growth.
. Chopplng is practically completed in the
middle section, and is nearing completion
in the northern counties. Corn, while
small. has good color and is in a very
promising condition. The prospects for
wheat and oats have frightened in some
counties. but the indications point to les
sened yields OF both. Harvesting OF oats
is in progress in southern counties. Rice
and sugar-cane are growing well.
The outlook for the fruit crop is not pro-
pitiOus. Apples. pears and plums are said
TO be practically failure In many sec
lions. Peaches continue to rot and shed
extensively; early varieties are ripening.

PEACE is DESIRED
BEFORE THE CORONATION

NEW YORK. MAY 2S.-The re-assem-
bling of parliament has done little toward
clearing the situation in South Africa.
says a Tribune dispatch from London. A
languid house listened to non-committal
explanations. A suggestion that the
king is so anxious to have peace before
the coronation that he is bringing pressure
to bear upon the ministers to make large
concessions to the Beers is secuted in Off
cial circles. The king is described as not
less patriotic than his mother was. and as
equally mindful of the obligation Of
constitutional ruler to be guided by the
advice of his ministers. The king can
hardly be more anxious for peace tnan
the ministers of the country.

.SEMI-WEEKLY MARKET REPORT

The country sold literally last night at fair
prices and much Of the weakness today was
attributed to selling here against those pur-
chases. July started 1k6%c down at 64G6S%c
and slid of to e31sc Covering at that point
steadied the market and prices reacted slightly.
Receipts were los cars.
Late advices from the best country
stated that the farmers were eager to accept
the increased Chicago bid. Last nights ac-
ceptances totaled over 100000 bushels. On this
the crowd led by the big bull holders sold
heavily and July slumped TO weak close, 11z9
19kc down at 621kd63c.
Oats weakened a little under the influence Of
the corn break. There was however, very little
trade and no disposition to sell was manifest.
Traders now concede that the leading bull
operator in May options will be able to take
in all his paper profits and possibly to advance
prices little. July opened a shade to Mc lower
at 37SFas71sc and eased OF to 37%c. Receipts
were small ~ 1876
Provisions again improved little on the firm
stock yards hog market. The run Of hogs was
about normal, but prices advanced. There was
small support for products and the tone held
firm, July pork opened &c up at sl712lz; July
lard unchanged at s1017h and sold to SO. 20 and
July ribs 2i5c up at $S.65 and sold up shade.

Murphy & Co.'s Grain Letter.

CHICAGO. May 2s.-weakness was the rule
In wheat today. The foreign situation selling
by the southwest and but few shorts to sup
port prices the decline, cause decline Of
over cent. The closing was weak at near the
low point while the market was not active
there was heavy trade at times There was
some commission house buying but the ma
Jority sold. Cables wer clover. Advices from
Liverpool were that the good government re-
port counteracts the effect of the higher prices
here yesterday. Weather was good for crops
Kansas reports however, a big decrease in con-
dillon compared with April and says one-third
area abandoned. Selling by cash houses against
overnight aceptances of bids caused a slump In
corn today. The selling was general and while
there was some support from the big bull in
terest. but it had only a temporary effect
Corn closed weak near the bottom. Oats de-
clined with other grains and selling OF July by
Fowler, the market was influenced by extra
good crop advices. Only day two now re-
mains before the elimination OF the May
deal 1t is expected that a few OF the shorts
will settle with Patten.
Provisions were strong and higher early on
buying by brokers and commission houses due
to the hog situation. There was fairly good
buying Of all products The closing a little
lower all. along the line, support was lacking
late in the session.
