Foreign Crop Report.

The foreign crop reports to the
Department of Agriculture made pub
lie announce that in the countries of
largest production the crops of the
principal bread grains cannot be
called abundant, but on a general sur
vey of the field it seems probable
that the harvest of 1905 will not on
the whole be a bad one. In Argen-
tina there is good crop outlook and
the area of winter grain appears to
be much larger than last year.

and All Passengers on Car
Killed or Injured.

A mass of limestone, weighing
thousands of tons, slid from a side
OF the quarry Of the Lehlgh Portland
Cement Company at Ormrod, Pa,
killing ~ out of 81 men at work.
The quarry is 1000 feet long, $50
feet across and 100 feet deep. The
heavy rains of the past two days had
softened the earth and caused the
slide of rock. Where the fallen mass
slipped away smooth, nearly per-
pendicular wall was left, rising sheer
100 feet above the bottom of the
quarry, while the entire floor was
covered with broken, jagged rock.
Only nine of the men got away
safely, four of whom escaped by run
ming up on a mass of rock at the op-
posite side of the quarry. The
remaining IS were huddled in a space
10 feet square Six of whom escaped
death were badly injured, two of
them probably fatally. All are
Slavonians.
Two of the men who saw the slide
of the quarry quiver, shouted Il
warning to the workmen. The men
mislnterpreting the warning, failed
to move out of the zone of danger un.
til it was too late. With a thunder
GUS roar the mountain of rock fell
plnning the victims fast.
All the men from the companys
five neighboring quarries set to work
at once to eXtrlcate their comrades.
Six men were found huddled in one
place, four standing and two lying
down Three were living and one died
before being taken out. Five doctors
were summoned, who gave the injur-
ed first aid on the scene and then
had them hurried in wagons to the
Allentown hospital.
