There has been some further im provement in crop prospects in North Carolina during the past week, ending Monday, 11th, in consequence , of the favorable conditions that prevailed for farm work, hut crop growth has ad vanced slowly. Tbentir week was very dry except in the estreme'south ern and eastern portions where show ers occurred Monday, May 4th, and Saturday, May 9th, with largest amounts at Wilmington and Newberc. The rainfall was very bme3Hal in that t-r.tlon, and elsewhere throughout the Etate a warm rain Is now much needed to bring up seeds, promote- growth, and soften the hard soil. The tempera ture averaged over 5 'degrees daily be low the normal, and the deficiency In temperature had an unfavorable in fluence on growth: while moderately warm during the day, though nowhere reaching EO degrees, the nights have 'been' quite "cool, 'and the days cloudy and windy. Thej'e was no interruption to farm work during the -k. ?.cd plaiting 1 1 rem and cotton I now well advanced nnd in some sections completed. Low lands are Jnexcellent tilth, but theio Is increasing complaint of the hard, re fractory condition f uplanda which are difficult to work. Planting corn on uplands Is nearing completion, but most of the botU-ai lands are still to bo planted; late planted corn is coming up somewhat better than early sveded. but stands ate not generally good; some corn Is be ing cultivated in the south 'portion; cut and bud worms are injuring corn to some extent. , Planting cotton is about finished in the east and south, but elsewhere -not more .aan half com pleted; the acreage will be large; some farmers have good stands; but chop ping has not commenced;' more sau shine and warth are. needed for cdtton which Is not doing well. Tobacco is all set In the east, where- the plants need a warm rain; dry weather has : becked transplanting in the north central section, where a large amount of land is prepared, and plants are fairly plentiful; setting is now await ing proper "seasons". The condition of winter wheat and oats is very diver sified; some correspondents report ex cellent crops, others that both ,hav sueffred much from rust and By; wheat Is heading law snd small, and the crop will bf below the average. Some pea nuts have been planted; also sweet po tato slips. Gardens continue to im prove slowly. The Irish potato crop is very promising, and shipments c! new potatoes will soon h?gin. Ship ments of truck crops and strawberries continue. The reports concerning fruit indicate favorable prospevt for apples. At the present time warm tdiowcis would be extremely leneficlai. THE MARKETS.

Elegant musk was rendered by the University Quor- iett and niinij A BAD SUNDAY RIOT Bridgeport, ' Connecticut, the Scene of Serious Disturbances CARS WEKE NOT ALLOWED TO RIN Strike-Brrekcrs and Officers Pelted W ith Stones and Brickbats Hany People Wounded. x Bridgeport, Cccn., Special The at tea:pt made by the officials of the Con rectkut Railway and Lighting Com pany to run their cars with non-union n:en Sunday, resulted in a riot in which at least 22 men were Injured. The sher iff says that anoiher such outbreak wouid -all out the troops. At the pres ent time the county sheriff will succeed the police. Sunday morning six trolley cars were started out on the Barnum and State street lines. There were large crowds around the car sheds at the time. The cars were manned by 12 of th" 12?- strike-breakers brought to this city Saturday by the trolley company. Thcie was no disturbance of any kind for a couple of hours. When the first car. however, had completed its third round tup. and was directly in front of the Wheeler & Wilson factory, where a crowd of at least 1.000 persons bad gathered, a bombardment of stones began. Deputy Sheriffs Hc-ndrau and Piiimh. who were riding on the tar. p!ung?d into the crowd to arrest a man whom they had' seen throw a stone. He w as seized and with .considerable diffi culty dragged 50 feet to the car. The Mche-tl.rov.or was a big fellow and ! struggled so fiercly that a policjsuan who was standing near. by went to the titsista.nce of the officers. Immediately Mayor Mulvihill was si?ea hurrying through the mob. He rushed to the po- Jiceman and ordered him to keep his hands off the prisoner, lb; then told the deputy sheriffs that they had better let the man go. During th argument the stone-thrower wrenched himself free and dashed away. In the meantime stones were flying in a shower and one of them struck Mayor Mulvihill on the head, brusing It badly. The two sheriffs jumped on the car and ordered the mo tormaa to proceed to the car sheds. The bombardment did not abate and tiie crowd on the street was such that the motorman had to go slowly. The "tone-throwing soon became so furious that the sheriffs drew their revolvers and fired, shots in the air. This caused the bombardment to let up a little and the car reached the barns and was run inside. The other five cars operated on ths same streets received exactly the same treatment, as they fololwed the first car into the car barns.- When the last car had passed within the doors there was a Crowd of 4,000 cop!e gathered in a vacant lot oppo site and violence once more broke loose. Brickbats, Kt mrs and everything tfat could be thrown were hurled at he barns and anything that belonged to the company in the vicinity; At this point Mayor Mulvihill vj.: that the ser geant and nine pi dies men stationed at hs barns were entirely' uaable to cope with the' jv.o!) nnd he sent for Chief Coffin, of the lire department. After a short consultation, the -latter ordered i. ut engine company No. t. with a steamer arid a line of hose. Superin tendent Birmingham also ordered every cva'liiblc man to the spot to co-operate with -the Orercn and soon n .stream was heititf played on the mob) which slowly ffll ha.-k before the water. One o, the strike-breakers was assisting the firemen In luldlng the hose when v. '.veil directed brV.k struck him on the head and knocked hlpi to the ground senseless. When the mob had dispersed the firemen and extra policemen wcts ordered back to their quarters and the rgular detail remained guarding the car barns. The- officials Of the trolley company will .not reveal the names of the men ii. jured. cr the nature of their Injuries. If is positively known, however, that not a man of the 12 who were on the six cars escaped injury of some kind. Kverycinoof them, as they stood oh thj r latform of their cars while going into the barns was-seen to be bleeding pro fusely from tho hend and face. In ad dition to the trolley man -inlured. Koadmnstor Davis, of the trolley com pany, whs severely hurt, by a' Btone which struck him on the bend. Sher iffs, lienlrau and Plumb were appall cntly targets for the mob as well as the strike-breakers, for each of th "ni was struck in different parts i.f the body at leant a dozen times. ,No nt tcmpt wns.'innde to run cars at night.

MASSACRE CF THE JEW S. . A Large Sympathy Meeting Held in Baltimore Sunday. Baltimore, Speeds!. Three thou sand people attended an enthusiastic meeting at the Academy of Music Sunday, in behalf of tfct? victims of the anti Jewish outrages in Russia. It was 'participated, in by many lead ing citizens of tho State and city, and several thousand dollars were sub scribed. The. meeting was presided over by Dr. Fabian Franklin, editor of The Baltimore Evtning News, aa'd among the speakers wre t-x -Governor William Plnkney Whyte. ex Congressman John V. L, Findlay, Mayor Hayes. Roger Hull and oth ers. Letters of sympathy were riad from Governor John Walt3r Smith. Attorney General Isaiore Rayner, Hon.. Simon Wolf and leading church divines., all expressing their horror over the maasacre at Kischaeff and conviction that the United States should use its good offlce-s to bring about a suppression of atrocities in the future. Dr. Daniel C. Oilman, pres ident of Carnegie Institute, declared that similar meetings should be held In all parts of the United States to the end that the public opinion of this country.- could help Russia to adopt a humane policy. Among the letters was the following from Cardinal Gib bons; "Dr. Harry Friend'enwald, Chairman: "Dear Sir: I regret that my en-force-d absence from the city on May 17th will prevent my presence at the meeting you have called to give voice to your horror at the events that have recently taken place at Kischneff. I have no hesitation, however, to ex press my deep abhorrence at the mas aues ihat haves carried to thtir graves gray hair and innocent child hood. Our sense of justice revolts at the thought of persecution for' re ligion's sake: but when persecution is attended with murder and pillage the brain reels and the heart sickens, and righteous indignation is aroused at the enormity of such a crime. What a blot upon our civilization is this slaughter of .inoffensive? men and wo men! Please convoy to the meeting my grief for the dead, and my sin cere hope that this twentieth century will see the end of all such occur rences and that peace and. brotherly love mav prevail on earth. . "JAMES CARDINAL GIBBONS." A series of resolutions wa3 adopted calling on the United States to 'bring such influences to bear on the Rus sian government as may tend to bring about a cession of these inhumani ties." and on the members of Con gress to protest "against the out rages to which the Jews of Russia are subjected."
