MANITOBA'S CROP.
Fatintates 'Vary From Forty to KiglatSr
Million Bushels.
A despatch from Toronto sayse--
Oar. George A. Bradbury. who has'
been eent ..eitet by the Manitoba. Gov
eroment toessiet I%Xr. Ilartney, the:
Manitoban agent here, is in the ;city.
Mr. Bradbury says Ois mission here
is to assist. Mr. Hartuey in placing
before the farmers of Ontario and
eastern points the condition ofthe
crop in Manitoba, "which will, we
; believe. be the greatest the province
has ever produced. We have two
- million acres .of wheat. growing as
thickly as it can possibly stand. At
the preseut time it is well headed
out. and everything indicates that
the harvest will commence as early
as August 5. :Conservative estimate
ale of the protodele wheat yield place
it at from 40,000,000 to 50:000:000
bushels. This estimate, many ex-
pect will be very much exceeded. In
ot Mon to the -wheat erop we Lave
700,000 acres of oats and 500;000
acres of barley all in excellent con-
dition. The grain crop of Manitoba
is by ioag oddsI ;i'gest that has
ever item eaten out of the country.
I should Lot be eurprised to now
that it wouel •exceed S0i000,000
busliele. As is well tnowni we have
about 20,000 • farmers in Manitoba
producing grain, and we require at
least e0,000 ailditiona/ men from
other points to assist them in say-
:Iro„ tLL crop. Laborers are in great
deouteiti et. present. as there is a fear
among the farmers that they are go-
ing to be wry ehortehended, and
coesequently wages are going up

A PAINFUL RIDE.
Engineer With a Broken Hip Bone
Remains at His Post.
A despatch from Stockholm says :
• says: -An exhibition of courage sel-
dom equalled has just, been made
known. Joseph, Parry. one of the
• oldest engineers of the New York
Central Railroad, while making his
run on the old road from Auburn to
this city, fractured his right hip- •
hone .while alighting from his train
at Seneca Fails for orders. It was
impossible to get another engineer
to complete the trip on time, and
Mr. Parry was helped back into his
cab and made the run to this city,
arriving only fifteen minutes late.
During the run the jarring of the
engine was continually .grinding the
broken ends of the bone against each
other, and it seems woriderful that
the engineer was al,)1,, 1» mdergo the
great pain and retttin consciousness.

that representatives of all the Co-
