SENTENCING 4 STRIKER.
Three Months imprisonment for KeArney,
the Third Avenue Car Driver.


The trial in the General Sessions of James
Kearney. an ex-driver Of Third avenue car
and leader in the recent strike. for an assault
upon John Brown. driver OF Car 80 of the Third
Avenue. ended on Friday in his conviction.
The evidence Tor the prosecution was that
Kearney stepped upon the front platform OF Car
80 at about four minutes after o'clock on the
evening OF the 9th inst. The strike had been
begun. Kearney asked Brown. small thin
gray haired man. whether he would work for
$3.50 per day. Brown said that it was not Kear
ney's business Kearney said that II Brown
would stand by the other drivers in the strike.
they would stand by him. Brown repeated that
what he intended TO do was not Kearney's bust
ness. Then Kearney said;
III mash you, you ---'
You wouldn't mash an, old. gray-haired
man like me- would you 2" Brown said. Then
Kearney struck Brown twice in tho face.
The defence was. substantially. that Brown
called kearney liar, and tried to catch up the
car hook. Then hehrney struck him,
Kearney was called to the bar yesterday. His
senior lawyer said:
Il desire to submit some mitigating circum-
stances 10 your Honor. When the drivers OF the
Third Avenue Railroad struck, last fall against
what they believed were very low wages for par
tclarly hard work the company sent for kear-
ney and persuaded him to aid them in effocting
n compromise. One Of the conditions was that
none of the drivers should be- discharged for
their share IN the strike But early in the month
Kearney found TINT he had been discharged by
the directors. in secret session. for no other
reason that he could assign than his participa-
ton in the strike. He WAS naturally reused. He
fancied that he had been used MS tool for a
purpose by great corporation. and then cast
carelessly aside II was while he was in this
mood that ho encountered Brown. He did not
intend TO do him any injury. He'intendud only
10 bring him over to the side Of the strikers by
persuasion or reasoning.
u" do not think. Kearney." Judge Glider
sleeve said that. in view OF ali the cireum-
stances. your offence demands an exemplary
punishment. Yet II requires some degree Of
severity Mt my hands / sentence you to the
penitentiary for three months"
kearney was unmoved as he turned silently
away from thu bar.
President Farrell OF the Car Drivers Union
and many Of kearney's friends were in the
court room. but there was no demonstration.

small way in some parts of Europe
They are moved both in carts and in
boats.
Bees that go out of their hives in
the morning in search of food, or
honey, from floating apiaries, have no
trouble in finding their hive, as they
know their home by comparative
location. and their particular hive by
form and color.
The average yield Of honey per
colony in the North is IS pounds,
sometimes much larger In Louisi-
ana Y gallons to the hive, Or IA
pounds, are not an unusual yield, and
sometimes, as elsewhere, several
hundred pounds.
Mr.. Perrine expects to obtain from
his colonies from 100 to 200 pounds,
and to sell his honey at an average
of ten cents; the 1000 hives he ex-
poets to average SIS to the hive.
Willows make an excellent bee
range They are in blossom ten
weeks in Louisiana, and but from
one to two weeks in the North.
Mr.. Perrine has colonies of bees at
Kennerville that have made from two
to seven pounds day to each hive
already this spring.
Mr.. Perlange, Of Louisians, has
sent 100 barrels of strained honey to
market in single year
Honey is now used in preparing
tobacco for market, and by brew
ers in making ale, and for medicinal,
culinary and other purposes.
The Mississippi River is the only
great river on the globe running
south 1900 miles through region
with such honey resources as the
country between New Orleans and
st. Paul.-FSch0'1ge.

IRISH POTATOES.

We have never succeeded in raising
the Irish potato successfully from
seed grown here. 1t natures we'll
and produces as fine an article for
table use as can be raised in any
locality; but, for some reason, fails to
reproduce itself with the freeness
and certainty of the northern-raised
tuber This is our experience, both
with fall and winter and spring
paintings. We therefore use the
northern-raised potato for planting.
We have tried many different varie-
ties during the last ten years, and
have settled down to the Early Rose
and Jackson Whites as being the
best for general gardening purposes
in this locality. The crop is fully
mstured by the time the summer
drought commences and can be dug
and stored before the late summer
rains set in. This latter rain gener-
ally begins about the time the figs
are ripening, in July and August.
All potatoes not sold when the dry
season begins are dug and stored !;
if left till the wet weather comes on
they sprout and rot with great rapid
ity. We store them under the house
or barn, where they are perfectly
protected from the sun and direct
heat, and yet open to the air, free
circulation being necessary TO their
preservation. To protect them from
damp, mildew and mould they are
stored upon loose boards laid close
together, and the potatoes spread
upon them 90 that they are close
together, but no one pile upon
another. Ii is little trouble. but
we have been able to succeed in no
other way tried by lis in keeping the
potato in good table condition until
the new crop is matured. This, in
five years trial, has never failed to
keep them ready for the table and
market, and, ordinarily, there will be
found better market for them than
for those sold earlier, there being an
interval OF scarcity of the product in
market between the times when the
Southern crop is sold out and the
time when the Northern potato ap-
pears in the market in the fall. We
plant here in January and February.
The ground ia first we'll pIowed and
SUBSIDIZED with a BrinIey pillow. 1t
is then checked into rows three and
one-half feet interval, only checking
two rows ut time and making the
seed turrow as deep as possible.
Into this furrow we throw the ma
nure, composed of sea-weed, muck,
stable manure (always previously com,
posted), or anything we can get that
will enrich. This we throw In the
furrow at the rate Of one cart load
TO every 1876 feet Of the rows, level
ing the surface of the manure in the
turrow by a light covering Of
ground from the sides. On this
| We plant the potatoes cut to two
