Crop Conditions Disheartening.
Yorkville, 8pecial.;r-It is general
ly conceded that there has been a
marked improvement in the condition
of the cotton crop in those sections
of tho county where the rainfull has
not been excessive during? the past
two weeks, while there has been a
marked decline in the general con
dition of corn owing to. the inab^L
ity of the farmers to give it pfrwer
attention because , of excessive rain
fall. While some fields are in fav
orpblQ condition, taken as a whole,
the corn outlook is anything but en*
couraging. In some neighborhoods
the farmers have been unable to get
in more than six or eight days ^rith
their plows during the past month,
while in many instances others living
within two or three miles have been
able to plow almost constantly. This
is notably true of th<? Bethany sec
tion, near* King '8 Mountain.

Philadelphia, Pa, ? In one of the
busiest sections and when thou
sands of pedestrians were passing the
flve-story brick building at the north
east corner of Eleventh and Market
streets, being reconstructed for the
United Cas Improvement Company,
collapsed with a terrific roar, bury
ing or pinning beneath the ruins thir
ty-persons, seven of whom are dead,
ono missing, one fatally Injured and
twenty-four more o less seriously in
jured.
The dead; all of whom were work
men, were: Alfred Davis, eighteen,
negro laborer; Peter Prttx, fifty-six,
carpenter; Paul Manning, forty-nine,
laborer: Slgmund I. unshorn, twenty
three, laborer; Charles Larson, forty

Plan, terribly mangled.
James Haggerty, forty, was fatally
Injured.
All wero In the employ of Sax ft
Abbott, contractors. '
The building had a fronlago of
tweuty-nvu feet on Market afreet nnd
eeventy-ftve feet on Eleventh street.
The two lower floors had been Jorn
out and the three upper floors were
shored up by heavy timbers, Btfel
girders were bracing the shoring, It
la supposed the moving, of ..o filrder
loosened the entire structure,
The crash came without warning
*nd narrow escapes were many. Tho
roar of the collapse was heard for
blocks, Bystanders and passersby
fled In desperation In the belief that
an explosion had occurred. When
they, realized what had happened
they began a series of thrilling res
cues. Automobiles and all sort* of
vehicles were pressed into service to
take the dead and lojuted to hospi
tals.
Service on the subway line on Mar'
ket street which runs near the cellar
of tho building was tied up. Some
of the debris fell Into the entrance
on Market street and on the platform
and tracks. . A woman ticket seller,
'tertlrfed by the crash aud shower cf
bricks, fainted.
Business along Market street was
paralysed. Shoppers ran out of
stores and fought to get nearer the
scene. The windows of the high
buildings were filled with spectators.
Friends and relatives of the workmen
came In scores, and the .women
shrinked as mangled corpses were
taken from the wreckage.
Many Instances of heroism were,
witnessed. One man with a broken
"leg, and pinned under Umbers, asked
that the more serlouslylnjurcd be at
tended first.

Mlddletown, I*. Y.? As the rosult
of en epidemic of the deadly anthrax,
which broke out- hero recantly, one
man, four horses, nnd forty cows
have died. This Infectious dis
ease. one of the hardest to stamp
out in cattle, scorns already well de

Theodore Wright, , aged fifty,
caught the disease while indulging in
a piece of bravado. He llyes In Oard

eral cows which had died of the dis
ease, He was told not to get tho
green BUIns jjear any wound ho
might have and to wash himself thor

ling tho hides.
lie said he wasn't afraid of catch
ing anthrax, and to show that he
meaut it he wrapped one of the green
hides around hi* neck nnd carried It
thus to the houai. It Is supposed
that the bacilli found entrance
through sotue little break iu the skin
of Wrigbt'B neck.
Ilia face and throat began to swell
In two days. Prostration followed a
fever, and from this 'Mr. Wright
could not rally, dying In agony after
five days.
Albany, N. Y.-~ Acting Chief Veter
inarian J. K. Devine, who was sent
to Orange County fey State Commis
sioner of Agriculturo Raymond A.
Pe.TTBon, has returned and reports
the anthrax epidemic well under con
trol. wltli thirteen farms quarantined
and applications for vpcclnatlon of
cattle from three other farms adjoin
ing the infected district.
Hetween twenty-flve and thirty cat
tle havtf" died In Orange County from
the disease. One farmer and dairy
man lost eleven cowb out of a herd
of thirty-one.
A peculiar feature of the present
outbreak was the exhibition of high
temperature and the usual symptoms
of Anthrax In somo of the infected
herds and the sudden lowering of the
animals' temperature after vaccina
tion and their recovery and In some
Instances recovery without vaccina
tion. This Is believed to be due to
the attack being in a mlRler form.
The present outbreak was reported to
tho department about ten days ago.
In all such casea veterlnarles were1
at once sent to tho district, and the
farmers were Instructed what to do.
There jjre other parts of the State
that periodical!/ have outbreaks of
anthrax among cattle. At this time
In St. Lawrence and Franklin Coun
ties the vaccination of herds is go

deaths have been reported, nut no
less than forty or fifty hords are
