t'ALEIUII. JULY 25, 1893.
Wi'.EKL? WEATHER CROP BUL
LETIN.
' The weather during the week end
ing Monday, Jaly 24th, 1893, contin
ued very warm until the latter part
of the week The amount of sunshine
was about normal. The rainfall again
ws badly distributed. Borne places
in the eastern and southern parts of
the Central District had excessive
rains, injuring crops on the 19th and
80th. Drought still prevails over some
en ire counties, especially in the Cen
tral district. However, many places
had good showers on the 18th to 21st,
especially in the Western district,
which caused much improvement in
crops. Cotton looks healthy and is
becoming rapidly covered with
squares. The corn crops will be ex
cellent, notwithstanding the damage
to upland corn by the dry weather.
Eastern District. The rainfall has
been very poorly distributed. Exces
sive rain fell at Pamlico, Jackson,
ville, South Washington anl Clark"
ton on 18th and 19th, causing some
damage to cotton and potatoes; at
some other places the drought con
tinues, but generally sufficient rain
has fallen to greatly benefit crops.
Cotton and corn are decidedly better
where there has been rain. Sweet
potatoes are doing well. The pea
crop is promising. Rains Wilming

Rose Hill, 3.75; Croatan, 1.00; Jack

Central District. The weather has
been warm bat not so oppressive as
last week. The rainfall was least
again in this district than in other
parts of the State, and there are more
places where the drought is doing
much damage. Heavy local rains oc
curred at Troy and Laurinbuig, in
juring crops. The prospects for corn
are still excellent, as it is standing the
dry weather remarkably well, but
another week of drought will cut it
short. Much upland corn is already
badly injured. Cotton, although
mall, looks well and has plenty of
squares. Rains Louisburg, .18;Soap

Western District More rain has
fallen in this district than in any
other part of the State, and it was
better distributed, though the east
em counties are still suffering from
drought. The rainfall occurring on
the 18th to 81st, though not up to the
average, was very refreshing and
greatly improved crops. Grass has
been about all saved. Cotton is bloom
ing fast. Corn has been cultivated

I FREAK OF LIGHTNING IN A
CHURCH.
DurlDj; a thunder-storm at New,
ark, Del , lightning straek the high
tower of Bt John's Roman Catholic
Church, yet carefully avoided the
great gilded cross which surmounts
it. After playing for an instant on
the slate roof, which it badly dam
Mged, it depcended through the roof
and the oeilinf of the nave and trans
fixed the forehead of an beroie fresco
painting of King David. The light
ning struck King David's forehead st
a point corresponding to that where
tfoliah received his fatal blow from
David's sling 3,600 years ago. There
are many paintings of the Virgin and
of saint and martyrs on the walls
aud celling, but none of them except
that of Kir.g David, was injured.
BRAINED HIS CHILD.
Tolkdo, O , July 23. Information
renohes 'bis city of the horrible bru-
lity of James Cook, living at Pern-
berville, seven miles south of here.
His wife recently deserted him for an
other man. and he has been drinking
quite heavily. Hia brutality to his
chil'reu his often been remarked.
Last u'ght he came home and seizing
a young boy of 5 by the feet dashed
him against the wall, cutting a ter
rible gash in his head from which the
brains oozed. Not content with thin,
he grabbed the I oy again and threw
him to the ceiling, letting him drop
to the floor, breaking his legs.. The
child died in a few minutes.
Mary, the eldest daughter, aged 13,
was also terribly maltreated, tne
bones of her right hand crushed and
a gash cut across her face. The sec
ond girl, Anna, aged 5, was pounded
and kicked almost into insensibility
and thrown with awful force against
the wall, her blood flowing in a
stream upon the floor She will prob
ably die The fourth child, a boy,
was frightfully beaten and narrowly
escaped with his life.
Cook was arrested and locked up.
A mob of 500 Boon gathered and at
tempted to break into the jail. After
several attempts the officers managed
to get hint to Bowling Green, where
he was placed in secure quarters.
While the mob was clamoring for him
he screamed, howled and wept like a
madman from fear.
