Crops Damaged Changed His Viewt on Silver Dollar Wheat Locomo tive Boiler Exploded Deaths Fronr Lightning Reliance Led Columbia Creed Revision. A3 a consequence of the groat num. tor of accidents, some fatal, In th first stage of the Paris-Madrid automo bile race from Versailles to Bordeaux Premier Combes has forbidden the continuance of the contest on French territory. The second stage of the race, which was to have been continued Tuesday, included a run over French territory from Bordeaux to the Spanish frontier Premier Combos' action will probably lead to the race being abandoned. It is roiKirted that tho Spanish gov ernment has also forbidden tho con tinuance of the race on Spanish terri tory. Tho first stage in tho great race from Versailles to Bordeaux, 343 miles finished at noon Sunday when Louis Henault dashed at a furious pace iutc Bordeaux, having made a record oi eight hours und 27 minutes. An hour later M. Gabriel arrived with a still better record of eight hours and seven minutes. It is estimated from the time made that these autos covered C2 miles an hour on the road outside the cities. These victories, however, were cloud ed by a series of accidents, having in six cases at least a fatal result. Dispatches arriving from points along the course add to the list oi fatalities and accidents. The worst one occurred near Bonneva!, ID miles from Chartres, where the machine driven by M. Porter, was overturned and took fire. Tho chauffeur was burned to death, while two soldiers and a child were killed. A chauffeur was badly Injured by an accident near Angouleme. A woman crossing the road in the neighborhood of Ablls was run over by one of the competing cars and killed. Mr. Stead and his chauffou'i who were first reported to have been killed, nrc still alive. Output of Gold Increasing. The free coinage of silver has lost an advocate In the person of Dr. E. Benjamin Androws. The chan cellor of the University of Nebraska, in an address Just delivered beforo the class in ethics, practically announced that he no longer entertained the views he had onco held concerning sil ver coinage. This change in views had been grad ual In its development, but his opin ion was now fixed and definite. In company with many others a few j ears ago Chancellor Andrews said he had been misled by the arguments of public men and particularly by a cele brated geologist of Europe, who, ai.er much study and Investigation, had an nounced that the supply of gold was being exhausted and tho world's mined would soon cease to yield a sufficient quantity of that metal. This made it necessary that there be another stand ard of value. Time had proved tho prophecy of the geologist to he false. Instead of les soiling, said the chancellor, the output of gold has greatly increased and the supply now seems Inexhaustible and as a result prices of commodities, in stead of going to a lower level, have constantly appreciated. Hay and Small Fruits Injured. While underlying conditionsTiave im proved as a whole, there is still room for betterment in weather, crop and labor matters. Retail trado has been stimulated by summer weather but wholesale business halts, pending fur ther developments affecting fall trade. In tho Eastern Ohio valley, the lower lake region, the Middle Atlantic states and New England tho need of rain is acute, and even if this comes the crops of hay and small fruits will be cut considerably. Among the less favorably situated trades Is lumber, which notes tho effect of building trade labor troubles, Cotton manufacturing is claimed to te unprofitable at present prices. Raw cotton is 2M: cents higher than last year, while printing cloths are c. lower. I-arge mills, whoso employes have been idle seven weeks, are re ported selling their raw cotton sup plies at a profit. The Eastern small fruit and vege table crops have been Injured by the drought, tints hurting the demand for refined sitfar. Wool Is steady, with old supplies small and new wool held firmly ut an advance i.n last year's crop. Locomotive Boiler Exploded. While passing May's Siding, seven miles west of Kane, Pa., on Sunday, the boiler on cno of the loco motives pushing a Philadelphia and Erie freight train exploded, killing one man and Injuring fo'-r others, three perhaps fatally. The disaster was an nnusii il one. in asmurli ni the tiiiin v.as nimiin; nt the time and also because the crown sheet of the exploded boiler va blown clear through the caboose, splitting it in two and cciiiiilclcly wrecking It, so that it was set on lire nud burned up as the quickest way In clear the tracks. Tin- injup-d. e opt the engineer and liieiuan, were in the caboose. Demand For Dollar Wheat. Tho American SuciHv i.l l-jinilv at Indianapolis has issued a bullo tin to the farmers of tho Unitoc States demanding an increase in the price of wheat, arguing that the mini mum price of wheat should be $t a bushel and urging the farmeTs not to soil for less than that price. The society has beeu organized, with that city as national headquarters, tc maintain higher prices for farm pro ducts by co-operation of the farmers of the country, and this is the first formal demand for Increase in prices as the result of the combination. The bulletin sets out the claim that this is an era of unequalled prosperity, demand for commodities Is unpreced ented, labor is receiving higher wages than ever before, and the demand foi and consumption of wheat Is greatei than ever before, with a low visible supply. Two Killed by Lightning. A terrific thunderstorm accompanied by a high wind struck Pittsburg Sun day and besides killing one man did considerable property damage. At Braddock lightning struck a street car on the MeKeesport branch of the Pittsburg Railway company and caused a panic among the passengers, many of the men jumping from the car as it sped down the hill. Three of them were pretty badly bruised and Christopher O'Toole, who fell on his head, is perhaps fatally hurt. Later it was learned that John Wil son, a boy. had been struck by light ning and killed. New Proof In Fair Case. Absolute proof that Mrs. Charles L. Fair died before her husband in tlu accident in France, is said to be in possession of tho attorneys who have charge ot the interests of Mr. Fair's relatives. Attorney George Knight, who returned from Paris, whither he had gone to secure evidence to combat the claim of the members of Mrs. Fair's family that Mr. Fair's wife sur vived him and therefore inherited all his property, stated that he was now prepared to show that the witnesses brought to this country by tho Nelson family testified falsely. Must Explain Deficiency. Postmaster General Payne, in dis cussing, the big deficiency lately dis covered in the free delivery service, said: "It is very reprehensible for a bureau officer to have a deficit of $200, (100 rolled up on the first of May. It was bad, v ry bad administration. A bureau ollicer should not incur a de ficit without consulting his superior ofilcer, the postmaster general." Mr. Payne said that Mr. A. W. Machan, the general superintendent, would bo given an opportunity to bo heard on tho subject. Hottest May 20 on Record. The hottest weatlur ever recorded in the New York weather bureau for May 20 for any day of that date of any year since a record of maximum temperature has been kept was re corded last week. Tho tempera ture at 20 minutes after 3 o'clock in the afternoon was i0 degrees. Tho nearest approach recorded for N?w York at the local bureau fur a similar timo on a similar day in May was 8G degrees hi 1877 and 72 degrees In IMS. Automobile Tank Exploded.

While sev eral were taken to the hospital none was fatally hurt. Many Houses and Factories Burned. A fire which broke out shortly after noon Wednesday in the shoe factory of Cote Brothers at St. Hyacinth?, Que., destroyed that and half a dozen other flourishing industries, and 250 houses', leaving nearly a quarter of the city's population sitting homeless amidst heaps of furniture. The loss is placed at $100,000. Reliance Led Columbia Three Miles.

Portions of Three Nebraska Counties Devastated. Over a Score of Persons Injured Nol One of a Family Party at Home ol Daniel McCurdy Escaped Death or Injury Four at a Church Service Killed Hastings. Neb., M.iy 2C A series nf heavy storms, two of which devel oped into tho worst tornados that have visited Southern Nebraska for years, passed over portions of Clay, Franklin and Kearney counties Sunday evening. 1 Fifteen persons are known to have lost their lives and over a score of per sons were more or less seriously in jured. The casualties are as follows: Noflr Norman, dead: Daniel McCurdy. Robert McCurdy. Mrs. John Wehlevcr. Mrs. Earl Bacon. Mrs. C. A. Tipple. Injured Mrs. George J. Meyer, arm broken; Icey McCurdy, leg broken; George J. Meyer, hadlv hurt; Robert Chambers, badly hurt; Earl Bacon, John Wehlever, Mr. and Mrs. Kinsar, not serious.

Near Normnn, nt the home of Daniel McCurdy, a number of rela tives and friends were spending the day and not one in the house escaped death or serious Injury. Two miles south of Upland, German Lutheran services were being held in a school house when the storm struck and de molished it, killing four of the occu pants, Including the minister and in juring a number of others. The storm was equally destructive at Fairfield, but the people were warn ed cf its coming and sought cellars for safety. Siv dwellings were blown tc pieces at that place but their occu pants escaped injury with a few ex ceptions. Every dwelling and outbuild ing in the path of the tornado was blown to pieces, and the financial los3 thus far accounted for will reach about $r,o,non. The family of Peter Hocklnson, nine in number was reunited late In the day. They lived near Norman and were separated by the storm, it being feared at first that most of them had been killed. There were two tornadoes, both originating within a mile of Fairfield. The first one moved to the northwest and the second off to the southwest. The one to the northwest did tho greater damage and all the fatalities seem' to have been in its path. The greatest loss of property was sustained by farmers. The heaviest individual Iofs reported Is that suf fered by Charles Taylor, who places tho damage to his stock farm, Includ ing cattle and horses killed, at $21, 000. Short In His Accounts.

It is now possible tc assemble trom the reports along the route of the first stage of the Paris Madrid auto tace a complete list of the casualties. This shows six persons killed, twe so dangerously Injured that they uia die, and 1 seiiously injured. inning the day It was asserted here that 17 persons had been killed and that 17 were injured; but this was not wai ranted. A carefully revised list of t'ao casualties follows: Tho dead: Pierre Roderiz, Mr. Barrow's ma chinist, collision with a troo near LI bfiuir.e. Nixon, Mr. Porter's machinist, burned under automobile. Ncrmond, M. Tourand's machinist at Angouleme. Dupuy, soldier, at Angouleme. Caillon, cyclist, at Angouleme. Unknown peasant woman at Ahlia. Injured: Mr. Barrow, pelvis and thigh broken, amputation of leg ex pected ;M. Marcel Renairlt, injured cbo::t body and head and reported Im proving; L. Porter, cut and bruised; Mr. Stead, overturned, badly injured; Mr. Stead's machinist, head cut open; Lesna, champion cyclist, broken knee cap; George Richard, chest crushed, libs broken; Henry Jeannot, Richard's machinist, shoulder fractured; E. Chard, head cut open; Tourand, se vorciy bruised; Gaston Raffet, boy. fractured skull, leg and arm broken; Marcel Renault's machinist, severely bruised. M. Terry's machine was burned at Coignieres, but ho and his machinist were uninjured. M. Rodolphe Da rams and his ma chinist were thrown out near Bordeaux and were unhurt, though the car was destroyed. Bordeaux reports that many of the ci mpetitors, Including M. M. Charron, Theliier and Passy, desired to abandon tho race but others Insisted that their honor required them to resume it at the Spanish frontier if possible, tout the Spanish govern in en t later forbade tho race and thus compelled its com plete: abandonment. The manufacturers have agreed that as a road race is Impossible the meet ing will be resumed within a closed course. A number of the leading American and French automohllists were inter viewed and they all expressed horror at the series of accidents and added that In their opinion It would end speed races In France and at other points on the continent. Foxhall Keene said: "The killing or maiming of so many persons is a terrible blow both to individuals and to automoblllng. Marcel Renault and Barrow were both of the highest class of drivers and good sportsmen. The effect will be a serious If not an irre parable blow to fast automoblllng." There is not the slightest ground for the suggestion that Henri Fournlcr, W. K. Vanderbllt and Baron Deforest withdrew from the race on account of the dangers. Each had a damaged cylinder and could not proceed. A late dispatch from Bordeaux adds another shocking accident to the long list, of casualties. Mine Chaysdeas, accompanied by her husband, both rid ing bicycles, were watching the pass ing autos, 12 miles from Bordeaux, when a horse frleghtened by tho noise holtod and overturned the lady who fell under a racing auto. Both her legs were cut. off and the hopes of saving her lifo are slight. According to the latest reports Mr. Stead is so nvuch Improved that Jie will be able to leave the hospital this week. Mr. Barrow is also slightly bet ter. Marcel Renault's condition is less satisfactory. Increased Canal Tonnage. Albany, Mny 2(1.
