DYNAMITE UNDER ALTAR.
Was Discovered When Church Was
Crowded.

The unexplained inability of the lay
brothers to light one of the candles on
The altar of the Church of st. Anthony,
a Franciscan institute in South st.
Louis, led to the discovery of dynamite
under the altar sufficient to blow the
church into atoms.
When the explosive was discovered
the lay brother had lighted all of the
candles but one. He made several
unsuccessful attempts to ignite the
wick. He removed both candle and
holder and then discovered fuse
fastened to the rear of the candlestlcli
which was attached to dynamite un-
der the altar.
The fuse was so arranged that when
the candle had burned for a certain
time 1t would have ignited and caused
an explosion which, because of the
crowded condition of the church at
the time, would have caused a great
loss of life. The lay brother removed
the fuse and explosive and then in
formed his superlors. The police are
at work upon the case.

RUSSIAN GUNS ABANDONED.
Japanese Won the Day But Their Loss
Is Reported at coo Killed and
Wounded

The Russian hope Of relieving the
pressure on Port Arthur by threaten.
ing the rear of Gen. Oku, the COM
mander of the japanese fo.ces invest
ing the Russian stronghold. came to
end at Telissu, a point on the railroad
90 miles North of Kin Chou and 25
miles North of Vatangow, when the
Russians were outmaneuvered. en-.
veloped and sweepingly defeated.
They left more than 500 dead on the
field and the Japanese captured 300
prisoners and IA quick-fring field
guns. The Russians retreated hastily
to the northward.

SLAMS violated the Japanese flag. Ger.
tain officers aver that during the fight

the japanese artillery, deceived by
this flag, ceased fling on that particu-
lar body of Russians. Official dis.
patches from the japanese command
ers made specific charges of this flag
violation.
Early estimates of the japanese
losses at Telissu say that 1000 men
were Hilel aud wounded
In his rnrcrt tho Russian command
or, Gen. Stalelberg, does not attempt
to conceal the serlcusness of his losses
but his report and the reports from
all other Russian sources agree that
tho ro'"eat was in no sense a rout.
The ferce character of the fight Is
made evident by the fact that the Rus
SLAMS were again forced to abandon
their guns. thus indicating, as in pre-.
vlous encounters, the superiority Of
the Japanese artillery. The war office
declines to accep! the japanese fig-
ures unreservedly, although the ofTici-
ais frankly admit that they believe the
Russian casualties were severe. The
keenest interest is now MANIFESTED in
The reported advance of two Japanese
divisions from Sin Yen, with the in
tention of taking Gen. StakelSerg in
the rear. II Is realized that If this re-
port should prove true, the Russian
commander may be unable to extrl.
cate himself, and tnat If he should be
cut of from Gen. Ku opatkin's main
army the fate of the detachment would
be sealed.

THREE DROWNED.
Two Had Got Into Deep Water and
Drowned Rescuer.

Locked in each others embrace, the
dead bodies of three young men were
taken from the dam at the Mutual No.
4 plant of the II. c. Frick Coke Com
rany, Mt. Pleasant township.
The dead are Newton Stuchel, OF
Indiana, "a years old and married; /;
Charles Hoburn of Kecksburg, IS years
old and single; Oscar Newburg, of
Greensburg, II years old and single.
All were employed BY Jacob Stuchel
In the operation of his steam saw mill
near Unity. Hoburn and Newburg got
beyond their depth, while wading in a
tributary of the Big Sewickley. which
supplies the water for the dam. Both
sank in Is feet of water and in their
efforts to return to the bank they got
farther out into deep water. Frank
Stuchel, a 10-year.Old son of the pro-
prietor Of the saw mill, gave the alarm.
When Newton Stuchel reached the
dam the drowning boys had gone down
for the second time. He plunged in
and grasplng Hoburn by the leg, was
making progress toward the bank,
when Newburn caught him about the
neck. Hoburn then grabbed him. He
fought to get loose, but the boys re.
fused to relax their hold upon him and
all three sank to the bottom Of the
dam.

WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.
Cry Of Too Much Rain Comes From
Several states.

The weather bureaus weekly sum-
mary Of crop conditions Is as follows:
In the Central and Western Gulf
States favorable temperatures pre-
vailed during the week ending June
10. but elsewhere east of the Rocky
mountains AMI on the North Pacific
coast complaints OF insufficient heat
are quite general, while hot. northerly
winds have caused further injury to
nearly all crops in California. There
has been too much rain In portions of
Texas, Arkansas. Oklahoma, Kansas
and North Dakota. and also over the
northern portions OF the Middle At
lantic states and New England while
lack Of moisture is beginning to be
felt in the Ohio valley and portions OF
the upper Mississippi valley and upper
lake region. In these last named dis.
tricts, however, the conditions were
very favorable for farm work.
Throughout the central valleys and
middle Atlantic states corn has made
slow growth. and in Kansas and Ne.
braska much OF the crop is still
weedy, although It Is in an improved
state of cultivation. In Iowa, Mis-.
souri,, Illinois and Indiana. fields are
generally clean, but In the Middle At.
lantic States rains have interferred
with cultivation. In Texas a good
yield of corn is now assured, and the
crop is promising elsewhere in the
Southern States.
AS a whole winter wheat continues
to advance favorably. a general i'm.
provement being Indicated in the Ohio
valley and Middle Atlantic States.
Some injury Is reported. however, by
fly from Indiana and from overfows IN
Kansas, and harvest has been inter.
rupted by rains in northern Texas and
Oklahoma. Harvest has begun in
southeastern Missouri. and southern
Texas and some wheat is ready for
harvest in Southern Kansas where wet
soil has prevented commencement of
this work
Wheat harvest is nearly finished
in the south Atlantic and East Gulf
States. On the Pacific coast winter
wheat has done well except in Cali.
fornia. where It has suffered from hot
winds. In the last named State, har.
vest has begun with generally light
yields. Spring wheat continues 70

PROGRESS Of THE WAR
Advices to the Russian Gar from
the Field.
FIGHT PROVED TO BE SERIOUS.
Several Russian officers Were Killed
and Others Wounded In the
Engagement.

A dispatch from Mukden says that
a Japanese army besieging Port Ar
thur is in line at Ying Ching Use and
Wang Fang T-ien. and that there are
daily skirmishes between the outposts
The correspondent says that the ru-
mors of an assault on Port Arthur
have not been confirmed.
Emperor Nicholas has received the
following telegram from Lieut.. Gen.
Baron Stakelberg bearing yesterday g
date:
. "A battle began at noon around the
Russian position, four and one-half
miles south of the station of Wafan-
hoon (Vafangow), the enemy making
repeated attempts to dislodge our left
flank. The attack was repelled and
we retained our position.
THE first regiment occupying the
left flank of our position sustained Sc
we're losses. Its commander, Col
Khavastounoff. and Adjt. Sub-Lieut.
Dragoslaff Nadochnisky were killed
Gen. Gerngross was wounded, shrap.
mel bullet shattering the right side of
his lower jaw, but ho remained on the
field"
The general staff remained in ses.
sion until almost 2 o'clock in the
morning to translate and give out
Gen. Stakelberg's message announcing
the fight. This unusually late hour in
dicates that the authorities attach
considerable Importance to the dis
patch. II Is thought that the Vafan'
gov affair may prove to have been
quite heavy fight. The fact that the
Russians held their position in the
face of heavy losses also supports
this theory. and 1t is believed that II
may turn out to be severe check to
the Japanese northern advance.

NsIo CROP DESTRUCTION.
Plant Diseases Wrought More Havoc
In 1903 Than Insects.

The destruction wrought on crops
by countless plant enemies through
out the country is revealed by a re-
rort issued by the Department OF
Agriculture on PLANT Diseases In
1903" II shows that the coffee leaf
blight has accidentally been intro
duced into Puerto Rico and measures
are being taken to stamp 1t out. Co
Goa in Puerto Rico is affected by q
blackpodrot canker and root disease.
I The tomato blight has practically
ruined the tomato crop of Puerto Rico.
A potato root rot has caused the loss
OF nearly the entire potato crop.
The potato blight and rot caused
widespread destruction. being espe-
cially enormous in New York. Penn
sylvanla. Northeastern Ohio. Michigan
and Wisconsin. The damage is es.
timated at s10.000.000 for the season
in New York alone. The cherry shot
hole fungus was injurious in New
York and Pennsylvania.
Apple scab was much less injurious
In New England, New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan than last year,
but It seems to have been more de.
structive in the West, especially in
Wisconsin. Eastern Nebraska and
Missouri. Apple canker, or brown.rot,
was prevalent In Connecticut, Ohio,
New York and Michigan, causing
much damage, especially in neglected
orchards.
Pear blight was more than usually
prevalent this year in the East. Twig
blight, due to the same organism. was
serious on apples in Connecticut, New
York, Ohio and West Virginia.
Cucumber downy mildew caused
large losses In Florida and the truck
ing section near Charleston, S. c.,
where the estimated loss was $780,
coo. 1t was also unusually destructive
in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New
York and Michigan.
The department in a report on the
principal injurious insects of 1903 says
the year showed smaller losses than
In many years.

CROP OUTLOOK is GOOD.
Inquiry for Structural Steel pisap-
pointing as Compared With
Last Year.

Summarizing the commercial situa-
tion. r. G.. Dun & Co. says: Industry
suffers from an epedemic of ultra con-
servatism, emanating apparently from
the theory that season Of depression
must come every 10 years. while the
coincidence of Presidential election
furnishes another precedent. AS re-
suit stocks of merchandise have been
reduced. railway traffic is lessened.
preparations for future business are
curtailed, and less money Is dlstribut-
ed In the fo!1n Of wages; while those
having carital to invest confine their
attention to the highest prices of bonds
or hold back for still lower security
prices. All these factors have com.
bined to produce a reaction entirely
out OF proportion to the natural read
justment that was really started by
abnormally high p.ices of raw mate
rials and other excessive costs of pro-
duction resulting in accumulation of
goods that could not be sold at a profit.
Retrenchment has made considerable
progress, wage earners as rule
recognizing the importance of accept.
ing reductions in pay. The lake strike
has been adjusted, leaving little fric-
ton between employer and employe.
AS the season advances the crop out
look improves, and there is no funda-
mental weakness in the Nations com.
morclal or financial position. Evil
dences Of contraction in business are
numerous, however, railway earnings
thus far available for May showing
loss of IL per cent, as compared with
1908, and bank exchanges at New
York for the last week lost 25.4 per
cent yet at other leading cities there
was a small average increase of 8
per cent. Conditions in the leading
manufacturing industry are practically
unchanged. Thus far the railways
have ordered little rolling stock or
supplies. and the inquiry for struc-
tural steel is disappointing in view of
the fact that building plans filed dur
ing May were more numerous than
last year. AS to values of contemplate
cd wcik. there were notable gains In
Brooklyn, Pittsburg, indianapolis and
Minneapolis, offset by heavy decreases
in New York, Milwaukee. Cincinnati
New Orleans and Detroit. Prices of
minor metals are lower and demand
small, except that exports of copper
continue liberal. Considering the ia.
vorable official and private crop re.
rots wheat has ruled remarkably
firm, the high prices having a natural
effect on foreign demand
