WEATHER AND CROPS.
A Few Isolated Sections Still Suffer
ing from Drought.

Mr.. J. W. Bauer, section director,
says in his weekly report OF the crops,
gathered from correspondence:
The week ending 8 a. NJ, June 13,
had a mean temperature Of IS degrees,
which is about 4 below normal, due to
nearly normal temperatures during
the first four days and abnormally
cool weather during the last three.
The cool weather was accompanied by
fresh to brisk northeast winds and
unusually low relative humidity. The
sunshine was normal in places and be-
low in others.
The greater portion OF the State
had from one to over two inches OF
rain on three days. The upper Sa-
vannah valley had less than an inch,
while in parts Of York county and a
few small areas in other sections the
drought is unbroken and crops are
suffering for moisture. Streams are
very low and many wells are failing
ip the central counties.
A destructive wind and hail storm
passed through Pickens county; the
track Of the hail storm was about half
mile wide and all CROPS in this path
were destroyed. There Rere also
damaging wind storms in Spartan
burg and Sumter counties, and hail
occurred at various places in the
northern and northeastern counties,
doing some damage to crops.
The weather was generally faVora-
BILE for cultivation Of field crops, but
with large areas where the ground
was too wet to work and where fields
have become foul. As rule, corn,
cotton, tobacco, rice and minor crops
are clean and we'll cultivated, and
have made marked improvement dur
ing the last week.
Corn made steady improvement in
all parts Of the State, and, although
small, is growing nicely and has a
healthy color. Earliest corn is being
laid by.
With few and unimportant excep-
tionS, cotton has now attained full
stands, although somewhat irregular
ones as to size. The plants are small
for the season, but have good color
and are growing nicely. Lice are re-
ported from Abbeville county. Squares
have been reported from neatly all
sections, and few blooms have been
noted in Orangeburg county. In
places fields are becoming foul. Sea
island cotton shared in the general
Improvement, and now has full but
irregular stands and good color.
Tobacco improved and is being
''primed." Rice planting continues
and the crop is making satisfactory
growth. Wheat and oat harvest is
nearing completion; the yields OF
wheat are best in the extreme west
ern counties and only fair to poor in
the central ones. The oat crop Is
best in the eastern counties, where
in places the yields are heavy. Late
oats show some improvement. Both
grains have been housed in good con.
dition, where cut, with only slight
damage from the rains.

As the FIRE increased the struggle to

became frightful. Women and child

CHANGED COURSE.


Changing the big steamers course
slightly he headed for north Brother
island, half a mile away. By this time
the flames were rushing by leaps and
bounds from the forward part OF the
ship aft.
The great open decks, built for the
excursionists, with little obstruction
from bow to stern, CGared a clear
sweep for the FIRE. AS the Slocun
dashed forward the flames caught
stanchion and cabin woodwork eating
scd tearing their way across the YES
sci.
The excurSionits, but few mo-
ments before in the full enjoyment OF
az ideal summers day on Long Island
sound, were driven to the after part
of the steamer to escape the heat,
flames and smoke that were constantly
increasing. Policemen and deckhands
aboard the boat struggled hard to
quiet the panic, but the efforts were
in vain. The wild disorder increased as
frantic mothers sought to find the
children, who had been at play ABOUT
the decks.
The steamers whistle was blowing
for assistance and tugs and other near.
by craft answered the call. Before any
Of the boats could reach the burning
steamer, however, the frantic women
and children began to Jump overheard
The current was strong and there are
many whirlpools in the channel. The
boats that always bound in the viclnl
ty picked many persons from the
water, but these were only snal

:. On the Slocum the first sweep oi
the flames cut off escape from the
hurricane deck, where great man!

crowded together, and soon burned

which came down with a crash OF

TIE STORY IN DETAIL.
Scenes Of the Unspeakable Agent on
the Doomed Ship.

Scenes Of the Unspeakabie Agent on
the Doomed Ship.
The three-decked excursion steamer.
General Slocum, of the knickerbocke1
Steamboat company, burned to the
waters edge Wednesday of North
Brother island, East river, at the en-.
trance to Long Island sound, resulting
in the death through burning or
drowning Of at least 600 persons, most
ly women apd children Four hundred
and forty-seven bodies had been recoV-
cred Wednesday night and divers were
at work taking bodies from the hold
OF the steamer. The remains OF many
persons who leaped into the river have
not yet been found, and it will be
many hours before the list Of dead is
anywhere near complete.
The Gen. Slocum, one Of the largest
excursion steamers in these waters,
left Third street, East river, at $50
O'Clock wednesday morning, having on
board the annual Sunday school ex-
cursion Of St. Marks German Luther
/; church, located in Sixth street. Her
destination was Locust Grove, one OF
the many resorts on Long Island
sound. The excursion was in charge OF
Rev. George C. F. Haas, pastor OF the
church. The vessel was commanded by
Capt. VIM. Van Schaik, one OF the
best known excursion boat captains in
New York harbor. He has commanded
the Gen. Slocum for almost the entire
time since she was built in 1891. The
number Of excursionists on board
Wednesday is variously estimated at
from 1900 to 2. 500, but according to
an official statement issued by the
Knickerbocker Steamboat company,
owners Of the Slocum, the number OF
passengers was S7I3, that being one
third Of the vessels licensed capacity.
CROWDED WITH MERRYMAKERs.
The steamer, after leaving her dock
Wednesday morning proceeded up the
East river, al three Of her decks being
crowded with merrymakerS. Bands
played and the great Sidewheeler was
decorated with flags from stem to
stern.
The Slocum had reached point
near the sunken meadows off 135th
street, Manhattan, which is at the ex-
treme eastern end Of Lansdalls island,
when FIRE broke out in q lunch room on
the forward deck. The blaze was
caused by the overturning Of q pot OF
grease. The headway Of the vessel and
a high wind almost instantly famed
the insignificant fame into jury. Ef-
forts were at once directed to subduing
the FIRE but they were futile. The blaze
spread after with almost lightning rap
idity. Capt. Van Schais, in the pilot
house, had been informed OF the out
break Of the FIRE, and realizing the dan
ger to the hundreds Of excursionists,
decided to send his vessel to shore at
134th street. At this point there are
lumber yards and several huge oil
tanks and the captain vas warned that
TO attempt to land at this point would
endanger the property and perhaps
further imperil the scores Of people
who had already been frightened into
3 state Of almost uncomfortable excite
ment.
