WEATHER AND CROPS.
_ THE WEEXLY BULLETIN OF THE STATE BUREAU
OBSERVER.
The following weather-crop bulletin for
the past week has been issued by the Penn-
- sylvania state weather bureau: In most
sections the rainfall during the week has
been below the usual amount. Inthe Sus-
quehanna valley and eastward the amount
was less than one-half inch during the
week. From Wilkesbarre northeastward
the fall varied from one-half to one inch:
West of the Susquehanna the {total rainfall
was about a half-inch, with heavier local
showers in the mountains. In the north-
western counties the fall was above the
average, ranging from 2.27 inches at Kane
to 1.30 inches at Meadville. The rainfall
in this section has been in excess all the sum-
mer. A hot spell occurred from the 13th to
the 15th. This was followed by a decided
cool wave, which has made the mean tém-
perature range slightly below the normal.
There was 4n abundance of sunshine, the
average number of hours per day at Phila
delphia being twelve out of a possible fifteen
hours. Very nearly the same conditions
existed over the state, except in the north-
west, where a greater amount of cloudiness
prevailed. ‘While the fine weather has
afforded excellent opportunity for securing
the wheat and hay” crops the corn and grass
aire beginning to feel the lack of rain in the
sections mentioned as-having a deficiency of
rainiall. In the southern counties harvest-
ing and haying is about over. The yield is
good, but hardly above the average. Oats
harvest will soon commence, This crop is
generally light. Corn is beginning to tassel
and has good color. Rye and | barley are
ready for harvest and promise a'good yield.
Tobacco and potatoes are also good, but
need rain. In the northern counties har-
vesting and haying is not. finished. All
crops are yielding fairly well. In the north-
west the wet weather was injurious to hay-
making, but otherwise beneficial.

ness the ceremonies of notifying Grover
Cleveland and Adlai E. Stevenson of their
nomination for President and Vice-President
by the Democratic party.
I'he unusual spectacle of a notification of
nominafion to candidates for President and’
Vice-President in the présznce of an im-
_mense gathering of people was a suz:ess.
It was the first time that the method of
performing this important and time-honorad
ceremony in public has bean attempted, and
the eitizens of New York approved it by
crowding the vast auditorium to its fullest
capacity. The doors were opened shortly
after 7 p. M., and within twenty minutes
every available particle of space was cccu-
pied, both seats and standing-room, excapt
the boxes, which had been reserved for men
prominent in the Democratic councils,
their tamilies and other friends. Ths boxes
were not long in filling, and soon the
great structure contained a mass of
enthusiastic men and women, actuated,
seemingly, by the one purpose of doing honor
to the men who are to lead ths Democratic
party in the coming campaign, and who
were about to receive official notice that they
had been chosen to periorm this duty.
The audience chamber had been hand-
somely decorated, A large patform had
been erected for the speakers of the
evening, and the various commit-
tees interssted in the proceedings.
Above the platform a canopy had been
placed, in which the inscription, *'Cteveland
and Stevenson” spelled out in elec-
tric lights, flashed above two large,
silk American flags. Representations of
all the States of the Union, anid festooned
with American colors, decorated tha spaces
between the boxes argund tho circuit of the
hall wkich was brilliantly illuminated with
electricity.
At 8:15 o'clock, the candidate for Vice
President, Mr. Stevenson, arrived at ths
Garden. His appearance brought out. a
demonstration of applause, which lasted for
four minutes. Ths tall candidate from
Illinois bowed very impressively anil then
sat down.
When a mome2nt later Mr. Cleveland
stood upon the platform, th: applause
seemed to have gained redonblel volume.
Nearly every man was on his feet shouting
and waiving his hat, cane or handker.
chief, and most of the womon joined in tus
acclaim. For several minutes, while Mr,
Cleveland stood bowinz his acknowlelg-
ments, the cheers were continual.
Nicholas M. Bell, of Missouri, the secretary
of the Notification Committee, odened the
proceedings by introducing Conaressmaa
William I. Wilson, the chairman of ths
committee. It was the duty of Mr. Wilsoa
to inform Mr. Cleveland of his nomination,
which he did in a speech Whic h drew great
applause.
While Chairman Wilson was speakinx
Mrs. Grover Clevaland entered the building
with quite a party of friends, who took tha
box reserved for them at tne lft of tas
stand. She was recognizad and chssred.
When Mr. Cleveland advancad torepiy to
the address there was another outbraak of
noisy enthusiasm... Mr. Cleveland did
not wait for order oesfors vezinaning
his speech. He looked around to ses
that Mrs. Cleveland had been sately seated
first few sentences could not be heard exzept
by those immediately surroundinz him, but
order came later.
The cheering which followed Mr. Cleve-
land’s speech lasted nearly ten minutes.
Then Mr. Bell, the Secretary of ths com-
mittee, read toe formal notification of tns
nomination on behalf of the members of
the committee from tha National Cone
vention.
Ex-Judge White, of California, then aross
to address Mr. Stevenson and notify him of
his nomination. Mr. Stevenson received al-
most as cordial a welcome as did Mr, Cleve-
land, when he advanced to reply. He waited
patiently for the cheering to cease, and wien
sufficient quiet had been secured for him to
be heard, he delivered his speech.
The reading of the statement signed by
the full Notification Committees to the Vice-
the assemblage adjourned.
After the meeting at the Garden the can-
didates were driven to the Manhattan Club,
where thousands personally greeted and
congratulated them.

: Killed in Hungary.
Near Jamasi, Hungary, 180 reapers struck

stables. When the reapers saw the later
coming dawn the road they set fire to the
