HEAVY FROST TONIGHT.
Weather Bureau Predicts Another
Cold Night Which Way Aoo 10
Crop Damage.

The prediction of more frost tonight
probably heavy" was made by the
yasbincton weather bureau this morn
ing and there is much concern least it
should further damage the fruit trees
and early gardens. After this morn
ins's rain it is not improbable that the
cold tonight would end the prospects
that warmer weather might salvage
some of the fruit that is reported to have
been seriously damaged by preceding
cold nights.
With a heavy frost. as is intimated in
the dispatch to Every Evening. it is
probable that early gardens on the pen
insula will suffer materially. especially
in sections where the growing things
have pushed their way through the
ground
