Des Moines, Sept. Corn will not
make more than Is per cent of an ay-
serage crop in Iowa this year in the
opinion of the local crop reporters who
them were in Des Moines during the
week and visited Crop Director Sage
at his cottage on the grounds. Taking
their reports OF conditions in their re-
spective vicinities, Mr.. Sage estimates
that Is per cent Of an average crop Is
the most that can be expected.
IN none Of the counties will there be
any such corn yields as there was last
year. The reporters estimates range
from two thirds to- three ilourths of
last years yield, which was far above
the average.
.The reports indicate that the south
western section Of the state will have
the biggest corn yield said Mr.. Sage

GREAT BOND ISSUE IS
 ATTACKED AS ILLEGAL
SUIT STARTED IN [. S CIRCUIT COURT AGAINST THE WABASH
 RAILROAD.

BOndhOlier Declares that Issue of $2O0,-
 OO0,00O of Gold Bonds is Even in
 COntrovention of thc Roads Own Dy-
 laws Requiring the Consent Of All
 the Holders of Its Debcnturcs---Ac-
 ton Originally Starts In the Supreme
 Court But is Transferred.
 New York. Feb. 4.7-Suit was started late to-day in the United States circuit court. wherein bondholder of the Wa bash Railroad company, seeks to attack othe recent issue of $2O0, 100000 of per cent, gold bonds, and $1650O,0O0 of pre- ferred and $165O0,0OO of the common stock of that corporation, upon the ground that the issuance of such secur- ities was illegal in contravention Of the roads own bylaws, requiring the consent of all of the holders of it's de- bentures before an exchange of bonds or stocks could be granted. The issue of stock complained of was made, it is alleged, to retire two series of deben- lures of the Wabash, issued in 1889, and due in 1889, amounting to $3O0OO,OO0, be- cause the terms of the bonds prevented the officials of the railroad from using the earnings of the company for better ments or improvements until after the interest on the bonds had been. paid. This, it is claimed by the company, seriously hindered the Wabash from making such extensions and improve ments as were necessary to enable it to care for it's increasing business. In the case just begun, the plaintiff, James | Pollirz of New York and bondholder, | seeks to have the issue of new bonds and preferred and common stock de- clared void and Illegal, and further asks the federal courts to enjoin the Wabash from paying either the interest | on the new bonds or dividends upon the new stock The plaintiff further asks that the directors of the Wabash be compelled to account to the bond holders and stockholders of the road for the new stocks and bonds so issued l and if necessary to refund any differ ences in cash and further that the court prevent the holders of the new is' sues of stock from voting upon the same and that all further transfers oi such stocks or bonds be stopped.
 The suit was originally started 1T the, supreme court of this state, but late yesterday afternoon the suit waS l transferred to the federal court.

ANOTHER DISASTER IN WEST VIRGINIA MINE
THIRD EXPLOSIoNINTHE STATE WITHIN EAST TWo
 WEEKS.

Twenty-Five to Thirty Miners Killed
 Near EIkins--Some Bodies Recovered
 nt Distance of 100 Feet from the
 Shaft--Two Of Rescuing Party Fla
 tally Overcome by Poisonous Gas
 Fumes-PitifuI Scenes.
 Elkins, w. Va, Feb. 4.-The third mine explosion in West Virginia with in two weeks occurred to-day at the Davis Coal and Coke company's mine. No. 25, at Thomas, near here, and twenty-five or thirty miners are said to have been killed.
 The disaster occurred shortly after [ o'clock this morning. Late to-day the first rescuing party entered the mine. The bodies of six foreigners and one American were recovered at distance of 100 feet from the shaft Before fur ther progress could be made a deadly wave of poisonous fumes enveloped the rescuing party, which was composed of General Manager Ott, D. M. Boyd, Su- perintendent Henry Mine, Daniel Jones, mine boss; Arthur Stewart and John Jenkins. Before the rescuing party could reach the surface, Jones, the mine boss, died from suffocation.
 Tonight efforts are being made to enter the mine again but without sue cess. The air fans were demolished by the explosion, and the mine is full of dangerous after damp.
 There is no possible hope that the men still in the mine are alive. While the exact number of entombed men is not known at this time, the number is estimated at about thirty, and it is thought probable that there might be more.
 Pitiful scenes are being enacted about the mine tonight. Families of the missing men are frantic with grief and strenuous efforts are necessary tc keep them from throwing themselves into the mouth of the mine.
 Just a few minutes before the explo- sion a large party of miners had en. tered the mine by way of an unused 1 opening at Coalton. When they heard the muffled report they ran back and | thus saved their lives. No fire lamp! were used in the mine, not being thought necessary. Officials of the com pany say the accident may have beer caused by an accumulation of gas 1T pocket, being ignited by shot O dynamite or by miners lamp. Tn, l mines were owned for many years b.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 4.-Edward Goulds bark-rigged steamer yacht Niagara narrowly escaped being rammed and possibly sunk in Hampton Roads last night
 So narrow was her escape that the three -masted schooner Harbeson Hick- man raked the f1agpole from her stern, and carried away some minor rigging astern. As the Hickman was coming by Old Point before brisk breeze the Niagara. bound from New York to Jacksonville via Norfolk, approached and tried to cross ahead of the Hick- man.
 When she was dead ahead and quite close the yacht stopped, and it seemed to those on the schooner that her en- zines were disabled.
 The schooner's helm was put about, and she sheered off, grazing the Nigga ra's stern.
