I1ertipna• of the province is given.
report deals with the condition
of a crops up till June 15.
FRUIT.
• I. regard to the f£uit the report
Pays: "The frost has done some dam-
age to trait. Grape vines have suffer-
..ecl quite extensively in the west. Mid-
land, lake Huron and Georgian bay
counties.. Peach trees were inured to
some extent by frost, and "leaf curl"
is reported by many. There is promise
of only a fair crop. Apples are bolting
well, and on the whole promise a good
prop, especially east of Toronto. Pears
are in good form. Plums and cherries
are reported fair•. Small fruits give
prospect of extra yield. Strawberries,
on the whole, are reported as turning
--out fairly well. The Essex,. Keit and
and Niagara districts give, on the
whole, very favorable reports as to
fruit."
FALL WHEAT. •
"This crop has stood the heavy rain
and changes of weather 'much better
• than the spring crops. Throughout the
entire province some low lands have
been flooded and the crop drowned out.
On very heavy clays there has been
same damage, but on light and loamy
soils very ,Little injury has resulted.
The reports for this tune of the year
are quite up to the average. The frost
of the first week of June was felt to a
very slight extent. The repot is from
all parts of the province are practical-
' ly the same—that after the rain the
wheat soon picked up and showed less
injury than had been supposed. No
more than usual has been ploughed up
and resown to spring grain. Heading
out was in progress on the 15th. Ili
some places the growth Was quite rank.
With favorable weather for the next
three weeks a good crcp of -fall wheat
may be looked for. • At ;present the
conditions promise an average yield.
In the lake Erie district the crop was
fair to very gond, except on low lands
and very heavy clay. Damage by frost
was very slight. In the lake Huron
district most of the reports are for a
good crop. Some attention is given by
correspondents to the benefits of drain-
age which were very apparent during
. the present season. Irl the Georgian
bay counties a small fraction of the
crop has been lost, but on the whole it
is quite up to the average. In the
west Midland group the best reports
come from Wellingtpn and the worst
from Middlesex, where, however, the
crop is reported fair.. Along lake On-
tario the • reports are favorable for a
fair crop—fully up to the average. In
the eastern counties ithe amount of
fall wheat is too small to affect) the
:total,. but reports are favorable. To
sit up, the present condition is fair,
s h prospects of a crop quite up to,
not a little over, the average, with
favorable weather."
SPRING WHEAT.
"As usual, there is but little spring
wheat in the western part of the pro-
vince, while in the eastern half tha
acreage is declining. The low-lying
lands have suffered severely, but the
higher lands have fair crops. The
Fain was sown in fine condition, and
is now recovering rapidly from the
extra rain. In many places correspon-
dents state that the ram did more good
than harm. In the eastern counties
about one-third of the spring wheat is
either destroyed or is in poor condi-
. tion ; two-thirds maybe said to be fair
to good. Less than usual has been
sown in the northern districts. On the
whole, present indications are for a
crop about two-thirds of the aver-
age.
BARLEY.
"In the lake Erie district only a mod-
erate quantity has been sown, and the
condition is tinder the average. It has
suffered frons rain and also from frost.
In the lake Huron district barley is
not in so good a form as spring wheat;
It is backward and a little yellow in
pierces, but is new improving. In the
Georgian bay district rain and frost
did some injury, hut an improvement
has taken place since warm weather
retnrued. In the west Midland district
'the crop is reported as being uneven or
patchy and backward. In the lake Ola
tario district the condition is a little
under the average. In the St. Law-
rence and Ottawa district the condi-
tion is reported as more favorable, and
with good weather a fair crop will be
obtained." In the east Midland dis-
trict the crop is fair. In the northern
district nothing of any consequence
is reported. On the whole it may he
concluded that the barley has suffered
quite extensively, is backward in
growth, but at present is making very
rapid progress, and with a continuance
; of favorable weather will probably
`l come up to nearly the average of the
last two years."
OATS,
"The reports from every section of
the province are practically the same
and to the following effect: The rains
drowned out the crop on low-lying
fields. On higher lands and those
under -drained little or no damage was
done. At the time of reporting the
crop was making a very rapid growth,
.end becoming somewhat rank in
straw. A few fields were baked by
but,on thewhole,the
hotaun
the
prospects were most promising, the
only unfavorable report being as to the
low lances. The crop in, on the whule,
W more backward than usual.

RYE.
"There appears to be less and less of
this crop sown every year. As far as
reported upon it came through the
winter in good condition, was favor-
able affected by the continued rains,
and now is in excellent condition, hay-
- ' ing made a very heavy growth." ,
truing of the southern ensilage varieties.
Many report the young crap as not
looking very thrifty. From all parts
of the province came reports of replant-
ing, of late planting and slow growth.
Prospects are for a crop a little under
the average in quantity."
BUCKwaIssaT.
"Two-thirds of this crop is grown in
the lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence
and Ottawa groups. Very little bad
been sown before the rains came on.
At, the time of writing, farmers were
'just putting in their crops. The only
report possible itt this time is that quite
an extensive acreage will be grown-
this
rownthis year."
BEANS.
"Early planted beans, especially in
gardens were cut off by late frosts.
Most et the crop has been put in late.
The acreage will, therefore, probably
be below the average. While many
report that the crop is now coming on
well, the general opinion is that the
early frosts and the lateness of plant -
in' will cause. a diiniuishecl yield for
this year.
•
TIMSOTHY. -
"A small 'amount of timothy was
winter -killed, but the principal damage
has resulted from the cold wet weather
of spring and' early summer. The
reports from all counties are in agree-
ment that we shall have a short hay
crop this year. Old meadows are thin
and backward ; new meadows aro only
in a fair condition. The rapid growth
now 'being made will not be sufficient
to bring the crop up to the average.
The prospects are for a crop about two-
thirds that of 1893. •The crop is late—a
month late in some sections. In some
places it is heading out on short
growth. There is no, need te differenti-
ate cpnnties ,or districts, as all report,
the same, namely, :l light crop. The
heavy crop of hast year may be respon-
sible in part for the light growth of
this year."
CLOVER. •
"This crop has suffered more than
timothy. Complaints of winter -killing
are universal. The old fields are very
patchy and uneven ; 'the new fields are
coming on iu fair condition, A few
report the crop as excellent, but the
majority report a short •and uneven
crop of red clover. Alsike, now in
bloom, is showing up well. On the
whole the clover crop prornises to be be-
low the average. Damage by insects is
reported from a few counties."
ROOTtl AND POTATOES.
"Early planted potatoes were much
injured by frosts, and large quantities
rotted on low hands, late planted
potatoes are now coming on well.
rhe "bug" is not more numerous than
usual. 1 he season is not far enough
advanced to report upon roots, as sow-
ing is later thou usual."
•
BEES AND. HONEY.
PEAS.
"The continued rains did more dam-
age to this crop than to the other
spring sown crops. Early sown peas
• have done well on high laird, but on
low lands have suffered heavily. The
rains retarded sowing so that a large
acreage has been put in late. As a
consequence the yield will be a little
"Reports regarding; the condition of
bees are variable. The loss during
winter appears to been about the
average where hives were left on the
stands, but the mortality appears to
have been greater than usual whets:
the bees were wintered indoors."
A Genuine Romance.
IN WHIICH A CANADIAN LADY OFA WELL-
KNOWN IAMXLY IS A PRINCIPAL
C t IARACTER.
If the person svho contends that the
age of romance is over and gone in
this fin de siecle period and latter day
materialism, • and that the affairs
of life are regulated on an entirely
practical utilitarian basis, ]et him
observe .carefully a year's incidents,
and this even within the charmed circle
of the Four Hundred, and he will modi-
fy, if he does not entirely alter, his
opinion. The marriage in Ottawa,
Ont., or Mr. Hayter .Deed, one of the
officials of the Canadian Government,
and Mrs. Grosvenor P. Lowrey, of
New York, had all the elements of
romance any novelist could desire as
material for a work.Of fiction. Seven-
teen years ago, in the town of Cobourg,
Ontario, Mr, Reed, then a young busi-
ness roan, and Miss Kate Armour,
eldest daughter of Judge Armour, met
loved and becarne engaged. The course
of their love, for a wonder, ran smooth-
ly, and the match was favored by the
families of both the young man and
the young woman. The date was set
for the wedding, the cards were out,
when the young couple quarrelled,pact-
ed, the cards were recalled and the
wedding was abandoned. A few years
passed, and Mr. Reed married a Can-
adian lady, while Miss Armour became
the second wife of the late Grosvenor
P. Lowrey, the well-known and able
lawyer of New York. Coming to New
York to reside with her husband, her
handsome presence, vivacity of manner
and charming hospitality, as well as
her thusband's assured position, soon
won for her a host of friends. The
third act in the melodralna was the
death of Mrs. Reed about two years
ago. The fourth was the death of Mr.
Lowrey in May, 1803. Mrs. Lowrey re-
turned to her girlhood's home at
Cobourg to pass her period of mourn-
ing. Last winter, while on a visit to
Ottawa, she met her old lover, he a
widower, she a widow. Time had
softened, if not removed, the former
and the old
ri r between .twecn e e them,
affection returned. A second court-
ship followed. Mrs. Lowrey came on
to the wedding of her step -daughter
Miss Virginia Lowrey, to Mr. Frank
Pennington Ball, in New York, last
week, and, returning to Ottawa, was
married to her first love on Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. heed will reside perman-
ently in Ottawa. And so ends this
latter day American -Canadian ro-
mance.

R. G. Dull, of New York, was in
11lontreal last Thursday and when ask-
ed bis opinion of the five years sen-
tence passed upon his old partuer, Mr.
Winton, he said: "I think that if it
had not been for the recommendation
to mercy made by the jury the sen-
tence would have been wore severe. • I
our not vindictive against Mr. Wiwap,
but I am sure that Judge Ingraahatni,
who is known as one of the most cap-
able judges on the United States bench,
would have imposed a heavier sentence
had it, not been for that recommenda-
tion. In my opinion, the sentenc3 was
not at all inadequate."
Asked if he was prepared to co-oper-
ate in any attempt to procure a cont
mutation of the sentence, Mt. Dia, saki
that he did not think that any effort
would be wade in that. direction, and
•there was no reason why he should
interfere.
Mr. Dun was shown an interview in
a New York paper, in which Mr. Wi-
man is reported as saying that he (Wi-
man) built up the business by securing
agents who did the work for nothing
"That is Mr. Wiman all over," stud
Mr. Dun, emphatically. "The loan is
eaten up with vanity, and that is one
of his exaggerated statements. As a
matter of fact, we pay our agents.
Men do not work for nothing. Of
course our trav,:lers through the coun-
try make friends, and we get sonrecor-
respondence in that way, but tha.tstate-
ment about 100,000 agents working for
nothing is just like 111r. Wiuran."
"How does sir. \Vienan's estates
stand in relation to the 8rin of Dun &
Co.?"
"When Mr. Douglas, my nephew,"
answered Mr. Dun, "showed me the
criminal act of which Mr. Wiman heal
been guilts-, of cotn'se he had to get
out. I had forgiven him so many
times before that I saw it was iinpossl-
ble to continue any longer. Mr. Wi-
man went to Mr. Farlinger, a well-
known lawyer, who told hint there
were two things he must do r First, he
must assign all his property to the
firm ; second, he must write a letter to
me. This was done. He assigned his
own and his wife's property to the
firm. But then we had experts investi-
gating the books, and soon many other
rasealities were discovered besides
those I had forgiven hitn and the one
that led to his dismissal, and his affairs
were so involved otherwise that I
could not honorably take advantage of
his assignment. The property was
transferred back to him, and a general
assignment made for the beniefit of alt
his creditors. In -this last assignment
Mrs. Wiman was allowed to retain her
house, upon which, I believe; she had
paid some money. That, I believe, isall
that is left. I have very great sym-
pathy and respect for Mrs. Wiman and
her daughter, and among other regrets,
that upon their account is not the
least. However, I had to proceed
against Mr. Winton to retain any posi-
tion as a respectable business man, as
well as in the interests of mankind
generally. • He would not have been
convicted if he had not been guilty, as
the foreman of the jury was a particu-
lar friend of his, and stated before the
trial that he would have to he thor-
oughly convinced cif •Mr. SViman's
g•utlt before convicting. him." Mr.
Dun stated that he was on his way,
with Mrs. Dun, to his fishing limits, on
the Cascapediaa, where both might ob-
tain a needed rest, after the strain of
the past few months.

TIE WAS SHOT BY EDWARD BOWERS, OF

RESTED.
Edward Bowers was taken to jail by
Constable Frank Walden on Saturday
evening, about 8 o'clock, °We, charge of
shooting William Cain with intent to
slay 'him. The prisoner is rather a fine
looking man, about 55 years of age, and
has a wife and family of seven children.
He is a farmer, and is said to emne of as
wealthy Irish family. Ile' has been
living for the last ten years on a
farm on the Roman Line, a little east
of the Donnelly homestead, and bears
a good reputation. The • farm which
Mr. Bowers rented was owned by a
Mr. Hobbins up to a short time ago,
when the Huron & Erie Loan Society,
of London, foreclosed a mortgage on it,
and when it was sold Mr. Bowers
bought it. His friends say that he
never had a day's peace since
he bought the place, but what
the trouble arose about no one seems
able to tell. On Friday evening Cain,
the Ivan who was • shot, was up at
Bowers' )le in company with someothers. place
story sways they went to
turn Bowers out, and another story is
that their tweeting was friendly, and
it was after they had been there for
some little time that a row took place
between Cain and Bowers. But it
seems that Cain must have angered
Bowers in some way, because he ran
away out on the road, and as he rain
Bowers followed him, and drawing a
revolver fired the bullet, taking effect
in Cain's spine, just below the waist
line. Cain fell to the ground, and
Bowers' after finding out that his shot
had inflicted a dangerous wound, help-
ed to carry Cain hack to his own house,
and then went for a doctor and also
notified Father Connelly, and then
went and surrendered himself. Roth
Cain and Bowers are Roman Catholics.
Constable Walden took charge of the
prisoner after he surrendered, and he
was taken before Squires McCosh and
Casey, who, after a brief hearing, re-
manded him to jail till Thursday.
Three doctors were called in to con-
sider Chain's case, and it is said there ie
very little hope of his recovery. The
bullet penetrated his spine, and he is
perfectly helpless. Owing to his weak
state, it was deemed inadvisable to
probe for the, bullet" Cain is still
lying at Bowers' house. and it was
deemed impossible to move him.

A ' TRAVELLER'S EXPERIENCE. I T iy IS

CONSTANT TRAVEL AND ROUGING IT
ON TRAINS WEAKENS THE MOST
ROBUST—THE uxesr IE;NCE OI' A HALI-
FAX MERCHANT WHILE ON TUS
ROAD.
Acadian Recorder, Halif,x, N. 8.
Mr. Percy J. A. Lear, junior partner
of the firm of Bbackadar & Lear, lei.-
erat brokers, 60 Bedford Row. Halifax,
N. S., comes from a family of commer-
cial travellers. His father, James
Lear, was on the road in Lower Can-
ada with dry goods for twenty three
years, and few hien were more widely
known and esteemed, and the genial
Percy'hiwself has just retired from the
ranks Of the drummer, after a varied
experience as knight of the grip, which
extended over sixteen years and em-
braced almost every town and village
in Canada from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. He • is an extremely popular
young man, a leading member of the
Oddfellowa' fraternity, an officer in the
03rd regiment of militia, and a raising
merchant.
"How comes it that you are so fat
and ruddy after such a term of hust-
ling railroad life and varied diet, Mr.
Lear ?" questioned the reporter.
"Well", was the answer, "it is along
story, hat one well worth telling. 1
weigh 190 pounds to -day, and am in
better health • than I even before en-
joyed in ray life. Two years ago I got
down to 155 potmds. Constant travel-
ling, roughing it on trains and tri
country hotels broke me• all up and
left me with a nasty case of kidney
complaint and indigestion. My head
was all wrong, my stomach bad ; I was
suffering continual pains and dizziness,
and my unrine was extremely thick
and gravelly. I began to get scared.
I consulted several physicians' in Mon-
treal, Winnipeg and other cities, but
their treatment did not give me a parti-
cle of relief. One day 1 bought a Lox
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I made
up my mind to give them a good trial.
They seemed to help me, and 1 bought
a second, third and fourth box, and they
cured me. My stomach was all right,
the dizziness left my head; no more
lassitude, and all traces of my kidney
disease disappeared. I was a new man,
and grained flesh immediately, and
have never been troubled since. I con-
sider my case astonishing, because kid
ney complaint, especially gall stones,
is hereditary in our family. It helped
to hurry my father .to an early grave,
and an uncle on my mother's side, Dr.
Whittle, of Sydney, Australia, had
been a chronic sufferer from gall stones
from boyhood. I was so impressed
with the virtues of Dr..`Villianis' fink
Pills that I took the trouble to send Dr.
Whittle two boxes all the way to Aus-
tralia. Since my discovery of the
benefits of these wonderful little pink
coated exterminators of disease, 1 have
recommended the remedy far and wide,
and 1 could enumerate dozens of cases
where they have been efficacious."
An analysis shows that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills contain in a condensed form
all the elements necessary to give new
life to the blood and restore shattered
)serves. They are an unfailing specific
for all diseases arising from an impover-
ished condition of the blood, or from
an impairment of the nervous systema,
such as loss of appetite, depression of
spirits, a anrernia, chlorosis or green
sickness, general muscular weakness,
dizziness, loss of memory, locomotor
ataxia, paraivsis, sciatica, rheumatism,
St. Vitus' dance, kidney and liver
troubles, the after effects of la grippe,
and all diseases depending upon a
vitiated condition of the blood, such as
scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also a specific for the troubles
peculiar to the female system, building
anew the blood and restoring the glow
of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In
the case of men they effect a radical
euro in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excesses. Sold by
all dealers or sentby mail, post paid,
at 50 Cents a Lox, or six boxes for $2.30,
by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Company, Brockville, Ont., or
Schenectady, N. Y. Beware of imita-
tions tad substitutes alleged to be "just
as good."
