Y. w m REPORT OF CRCP CONDITIONS. Summary Prepared by Agricultural Department at Washington. Washington, Aug. 27. Following is the agricultural department's weekly report of crop conditions:' As a whole, he conditions east of the Rocky mountains have not been favorable, being too cool in the northern-districts eastward of the Missouri valley and with ' too much moisture in portions of the central valleys, while excessively hot in the southern states, with drought of greater pr less sev verity generally tnrcughout the cotton belt. Although cool, the conditions were fairly favorable for maturing crops in the Ohio valley and over the sorthe$n portion of the middle Atlan tic states as well as on the Pacific coast. Corn is greatly in need of warm, dry weather throughout the northern portion of . the corn belt, v where the abnormally cool weather of the past two weeks has greatly re tarded its maturity. Over the southern portion , of -"the corn belt an excellent crop of early corn is now practically assured. In portions Of Iowa and Central Illinois corn has badly lodged as a result or local storms. Spring wheat harvest is unfinished in the northern portion of the Red river valley, where it has been interrupted by frequent show ers, which also have seriously inter : fered with stacking and threshing. Sprouting and rooting in stack anJ Bhock are reported from Iowa and in southern Minnesota threshed wheat is damp and discolored. Harvest is about three-fourths finished in Ore gon, and will be "completed in Wash ington during th present week, with yields about the averaze though l?.,; ; than expected in Washington. A decided deterioration in the con : dition of cotton is reported eenerallv throughout the central and western portions of the cotton Belt, as well as over a large part of the eastern dis . tricts. The most 'favorable reports are from the Carclinas. In North Carolina the condition of -the c :on enn- -tinres very promising, a!tlicu?h the prevalence .of rust is widespread. Or ' stiff soils in South - Carolina n?w growth is blooming and fruiting, but ,. on sandy soils, rust, shedding and nro matare opening are prevalent. In Texas the deterioration has ben pronounced, and under the most favor able future weather conditions a yield in excess of the average is improl ble. The week has been very favorable --"o liniig tuuatco, am the crop has generally improved, al though it will be short in Kentucky -and portions of Tennessee, Virginia and Maryland. - It has been too dry for favorable progress with 'plowing for fall sec ling in portions of the middle Atlantic , states, lake region and Oklahoma. Else- .wuww me, reports indicate that this .-work has made favorable advance ment. ' . ' ,A GENTLE HINT, v .

Scruggs, of Stone Mountain, was run over by the engine, the mail and baggage cars of trains No. 36 of tha Southern'on the" tracks a short distance west of.: Piedmont : street "about 10 o'clock last night. , - . - It is supposed by the -railroad men that he was under the influence of li quor and that he boarded ' these cars thinking that he was on the Georgia train which leaves the city at -11 : 35 ; that he went down into the yard a short distance and then, discovering 'his mistake, got off and started back to the depot and was run down by the cars as they, were being backed into the shed. ; The head was severed from the body, as was the left arm at the shoul der and the left leg below "the kneeT The" left thigh and other partspf the body were badly mangled. The he ?,d was found about 10 feet from the body when the accident was first dis covered. It was learned that he comes from one of the wealthiest and most re spectable families of DeKalb comity. His father died but a short time ago, and left to the ur children about $75,000. . LEG CUT OFF WHILE HE SLEPT. Train Passing Over Negro's. Limb Did Not Awaken Him. Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 27. 51emson - Wallace, a negro, was found asleep near the Brunswick and Birmingham railroad track at an early hour this morning with one of his legs entirely severed ,from his body. Just how the accident occurred is not known, as there were no witnesses, and the man was unable himself to say, but it is generally . thought that he was intoxicated and went asleep on a lumber pile only a few feet from the track, stretching his leg across the track, and that a Brunswick and Birmingham passenger train ran over it. None of the train crew saw the negro when the train passed and did not know the accident had occurred until he -was found. When the man was found he was fast asleep, with the leg cut off as if with an ax, and the accident evi dently did not awaken him from his slumber. He was taken to his home and the wound was. dressed.' He re ceived no other injury about the body. PHILANTHROPIST DEAD. Assisted Many Educational Institu tions, Especially In the South. Ithaca, N. Y., Aug. 27. John C. Sto well, probably the oldest man in ac tive business in Tompkins county, is dead at, his home at the age of 86 years. Since 1815 he had -been en gaged in the wholesale grocery trade in this city. ( He was one of the original directors of the First National bank of this city, was its vice president and was direc tor, vice president and principal owner of the Trinity Rice company in Texa5. He financially assisted many educa tional institutions, especially in the south. . Crushed to Death by Wheel. Savannah, Ga., Aug. 27. George Low, a negro 50 years old, was caught by a flywheel at the power house of the Savannah, Electric company and crushed to death. He was cleaning the wheel. .Carelessly he stepped to one of -the spokes, which gave the wheel momentum. It slowly moved, making buf. half a revolution. . That was enough to crush the life out of Low, however, who was caught " be tween the wheel and the floor. Men stood by and saw the accident, but could do . nothing to avoid death. Low was dead when his iody was remov ed from beneath the wheel, which was only accomplished after great difficulty. Navigation Is Suspended. Columbus, Ga. Aug. 27. The Colum bus Steamboat association has decided to temporarily suspend navigation on the upper Chattahoochee until the riv er resumes its normal condition. It is now lower than it has been In a number of years, due to an unprece dented drought along its watershed. For the present steamers will come up no further than Columbia, Ala. where freight for Columbus will be transferred to the railroads. It is thought that by the time the fall sea son opens the river will be in ijts usual condition, and just as soon as condi tions permit, boats will come up to the Columbus wharf again.
