Tlioußands of World’s Fair Visitors Witness a Blood-Curdling Horror—Means Millions to ths Plaintiff—West Tennessee Has a Dountiful Harvest. Convicts Shot Down. The most daring attempt at escape ever made at the Michigan State House of Correction and Reformatory at lonia was made Monday morning shortly after 9 o'clock. The leaders were five of the most desperate men in the institution. several of them being of more than State notoriety as hardened > and dangerous criminals Those who I redched the wall were Oscar Miller, I a “-year convict sent from Detroit, a cunn’ng and fearless man: Charles E. •lones, a 5-year man sent from Detroit: William Eagan, a 15-year man sent fi\ m Grand Rapids for manslaughter: Michael Lynch, sent from Detroit, who has spent a large part of his life inside prison walls: and William Smith, sent from Detroit, a sly ono. who omro he- , foi emale an escape. A battle ensued I in which one convict was killed and several otheis badly hurt.

Many rice-men Perish. Entrapped between flames above and flames below many of Chicago's bravest firemen died miserably Monday before the eyes of a frenzied multitude [ of people. Clambering to the top of a | high tower at the AVorld’s Fair these | heroes tried to stop fire in a deceitful paper palace. As they fought, 2GO feet or more in the air, the Hames crept below them: they were cut off from all hope of help, 'there was noth- , ing left for them but a leap of 100 feet, to alight in a roaring caldron. So j they perished, firemen and volun- | teers who had offered to help them. How many died or who may perhaps never be known. Tire cold-storage warehouse where these men lie buried has been destroyed utterly, and with it the bodies of many of them went to ashes. But so far as lists could be made Monday night the men who died number thirteen firemen, three employes and six Columbian guards. The injured number twentyseven, several of whom will die. BREVITIES.

IN West Tennessee the wheat harvest is over and the new wheat on the market. The yield is larger than for many years. The corn crop is generally good and most of it laid by. Old corn is failing fast for want of rain. Cotton is healthy and growing rapidly, but the plant is unusually small for the season. Grass has been killed, and with seasonable showers the yield would be large. The Jonathan Mills Manufacturing Companv. of Columbus. < >bio. is informed that Judge Sage, in the I rnted States Court at Cincinnati, has held in ‘its c-vse against M. C.

FOR several years William Brosius, of Pottstown, Pa., had worn a glass eye. One of his natural optics had been destroyed while he was employed in the bridge works. Thursday evening as he was walking along the street the artificial eye exploded from no apparent cause. The sharp edges of the broken glass cut the socket about the eye, causing a severe hemorrhage. A New York newspaper has collected reports on the condition and prospects of crops on July 1 from the west- / "erfb western. and Pacific coast 1 States, C anada, mm Eiev । may be summarized as follows: wncur, much below the average: corn, enor- , mous, will probably be the largest crop ,

Newport. R 1., lat 7:2() o'clock Friday evening. Death seemed probable for three days, but it was not until 3 o'clock Friday afternoon that the family realized that it was at hand. From that hour Judge । Blatchford sank rapidly, passing away ias if asleep. Mrs. Blatchford and Ap- । pieton Blatchford, the only son; also ! Dr. F. H. Rankin, his physician, were with him when ho died. Justice Blatchford arrived at his cottage about June 12. and three weeks ago Friday suffered two slight paralytic strokes, which his physician described as partial loss of motion. The effect was general in character, and not upon any part of the body in particular, leaving the patient weak but in full possession of all his faculties. For a time he transacted some business, but about a week before his death this became impossible. WESTERN. The Bankers' Association of Missouri has voted in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law.

Barricades have been thrown up in various parts of the city and defended b^- students when the polite charged. 'I raffle is suspended on the Boulevard St. Germain, Quai Voltaire, and Rue St. Peres. All the public buildings are guarded by militarv. The startling suddenness with which the scuffle lietwceu the students and the police has develop'd into bloody rioting causes the government anxiety. The i original cause of the trouble lias been quite lost sight of in the general riot- ; ing in which al! tho scum of southern Paris, re-enforcci by the lawless vagabonds from Montmartre.

Business Generally Is Improving — Poor Outlook for Cotton—Four Drowned, Pears Entertained for Ten Others — FrenehCanadians Biot at Montreal. ! Chicago Grain Market. '1 he total available stock of wheat in ■ the country is 100 per cent, more than last year. Glowing wheat reports from ’ the Northwest were a surprise, and a 1 decline of nearly 1 cent was noted at i 1 ( hieago Saturday. Corn advanced al- ' i most 1 cent.

The yield of wheat will be ( less than was expected. Trade Is oa the Mend. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: The tone in business circles has perceptibly Improved. This is partly because banks have been made more hopeful of an early financial soti lament by the calling of an extra session of Congress, partly j because ot some cecovcry in prices from the sudden depression which f .Bowed the decision to close the India mints and partly bccimc crop pro.

Cotton in Bad Shape. I Reports which cover thoroughly the whole cotton-raising section of tho United States make a very discour- ( aging showing for this year’s crop. It j is already certain that the crop has been badly damaged by unfavorable weather during the past six weeks, that it has got a poor start, it being injured by insects and disease, and cannot ; amount to an average yield. More se- i rious still is the prosjwet that further adverse weather, which may fairly be expected at this season, catching the belated emp in its present condition. , will reduce the yields skill further. A ’ few sections in Florida and Louisiana ; j s. cm to bo excepted from the fate that I ha~ overtaken the cotton territory gen- । erally, but they are not extensive enough to make any material difference 1 in the crop as a whole.

After receiving congratulai tions the Duke and Duchess of York left the palace, driving through the Mall to the city, and thence proceeded by the Great Eastern Railway from Pool street to Sandringham. The wed--1 ded pair were the recipients cf many i gifts of fabulous value. I The royal couple occupy a unique poI sition, inasmuch a-* it is the first time ; in tho history of England that the son and heir of the Prince of Wales has ( married while his father bore that I title. For three generations in the di» ! rect line of successic n to be alive, and the youngest of these of marriageable' age. is sufficiently rare, and the actual celebration of the marriage under such circumstances is unprecedented. Prince George is twenty-eight years of age. about Xhree years the senior of his bride. Both have been most carefully educated, and have lived up to a few years ago as simple as the children of country gentry.
