Than Last Year,
Special to The State.

SPSSioi W h0 OUdlS.
Chester, Nov. 2O.-Observant
intelligent farmers OF this county
estimate that at least 50 per cent.
OF the crop has been picked.
Their estimate as to the yield is
that 1T will be from 25 to 80 per
cent. below that of last year.
Conditions have been favorable
since September for sowing
small grain and the average thus
far seeded Is larger now than at
this date last year. The early
sown oat crop is up to a good
stand and is looking we'll. The
yield OF corn In this county will
be from 20 to 25 per cent. less than
the crop of 1902, There are more
hogs for slaughter now than have

TREY MET DEATH In A
SHANTY FIRE.
Twenty Eight Italians Lab0rers
the Victims.

Jonstowu, Pa, Nov 21,-Twen-
ty eight bodies charred and black
ened beyond all possibility of
Identification lie tonight in the
ruins OF what was once an Italian
lodging shsnty, located on the
line of the Pennsylvania railroad
20 miles east of this city and 3 4
of mile west of Lilly. In ad-
dltion to the list of dead there are
80 men who have been removed
to the hospital or to the homes of
friends. Twelve of this nu nber
are in the hospitals in this city
ond several cannot recover. The
fire started early this morning
while the men were still in bed.
How 1t originated is a mysery.
According to the history of one
man who escaped from the shanty
the men lost their lives through a
fire which started from an over
heated stove. The stove became
redhot, it is said, and the interior
of the shsnty, which was lined
with inflammable paper, caught
fire. The shanty was 90 feet long
and about "a feet wide. 1t was
occupied by 65 men, mostly Ital-
lanS employed on the Pennsyl.
vania railrosi between Lilly and
Portage. On each side Of an aisle
which ran down the centre of the
structure was row of hunks
three high In these hunks were
piles Of straw. One Of the water
boys employed on the work said
that he was awakened by hearing
a man cry out "lire' At thia
time the fire was in the upper
end OF the shsnty only, where a
struggling mass of men were fight
Ing to escape from the building.
Some OF the men escaped but a
few remained asleep in the
hunks. All at once the foreigners
on the outside remem bered that
they had left their trunks in the
blazing building. Then followed
rush Of men into the building
through the lower door. Those
who strove for the door were in
the widest sort Of panic. When
one man got ahead ofanothsr, the
other pulled him back. They
fought bit and kicked and among
those who escaped there are many
who boar marks of the fierce
struggle which took place in this
battle. One Of the witnesses SAYS
he does not believe n single man
of those who went back for his
trunk succeeded in getting out
again. In the ruins some of the
corpses were close beside the
hoop iron bands of the trunks
and melted gold and silver which
had been kept in thosereceptacles
indicated that the owners had
fallen and died with their treas
ures in their arms. The bodie5
were all practically burned to
pieces.
