WASHINGTON, October 1S.-'fhe Star has
the following special from Philadelphia:
Senator-eecs Malone, OF Virginia, ar
rived here yesterday morning, and bis pre-
sence IN the city was not discovered by the
leaders of either party until to-day. As
early as O'Clock this morning Ex-Governor
Hartranft aud William X. Leeds, one OF the
prominent Republican local leaders, called
at the Continental Hotel to see him; but it
is reported that they failed to secure IN in
,eryiew. Speaker Samuel j. Randall was
also early OH hand, aud was c!oseted
with Mr. Mahone all the forenoon. The
Democrats have since exercised close
watch on Mr.. Malone to keep the Republic
can leaders away from him. Governor
Hartranft is collector OF The port, and he
and Leeds represent the Cameron interest.
This attempted dckering by the leaders OF
both parties with Mr.. Malone has excited
an extraordinary interest on account OF the
possible position Of Malone 10 throw the
vote of Virginia for Garfield or Hancock,
and secure gain Of three or four Republic
can members OF Congress in that State,
which would send Mr.. Randall TO the rear.
This possibly explains Mr.. RandalPs anX-

has now doomed up as the possible arbiter
of the presidential election, and this one

IL Is stated that when the officers called TO
arrest Mrs. Howe they were informed that
she was "not in," but they gained admit
lance and found Mrs. Howe in bed, fully

| BALTIMORE, October IA daring at
tempt to rob Mr.. G.. w. Moss, Of TazeweiI
county, Va, has been reported as having
been made about midnight on Saturday,
while he was riding in one OF the Red Line
street cars. Moss, who is u caite-drover.
came To this city to sell his cattle. He re-
gistered ut the Howard House on Friday
last, but left there on Saturday and went to
the CaIyerton Droye-YardS, Baltimore
county. After selling the cattle he placed
his money in his pocket and returned
TO the city for the purpose OF put
ting it in bauk, but as be arrived
too late TO do that he remained in
town some time, and about midnight start
ed for CaIyerton, taking one OF the Red
| Line cars, as stated. He stated that while
sitting alone in the ear two men jumped
on, one OF whom approached him and de-
manded his money, while the other stood
outside near the conductor. AS Dir. Moss re-
fused to give up his money, the robber is
said TO have attacked bin. At this June
ture the conductor clugbt hold OF the
would.be robber and put HIM off the ear,
| but In doing so fell of himself. The rob-
| Der Is said to have drawn q knife and to
have cut the conductor, also Mr.. Moss, who
had gone 10 hts assistance. lively scuf-

was cut several times, but not serious

Afforded him protection. As great deal
OF noise was created, the robbcr, it is said,
after having chased the conductor around
the car several times with knife, became
frightened and escaped. His confederate, it
would seem, did not take conspicuous part
in the fight, but skunk silently and swiftly
away when he discovered danger ahead.
There was a large amount of money in Dir.
Moss's pocket-book, but fortunately he did
not lose any OF 1t. II is supposed the rob-
beers saw Mr.. Moss receive the money IN
payment for the cattle. The affair has been
reported to the police. and they are actively

Tomatoes.

A common mistake in the cultivation
os this plant is to imagine that it re-
quires an enormous space in which to
perfect its growth. OF course, if it is
allowed to wander at its own sweet will
it will occupy great deal of ground.
But this is not at all the best way to
get ripe fruit, though any amount of
leaves, stalks and green tomatoes may
be produced by it. Please give the
following pan fair trial: Set the
plants in rows two feet apart and fif-
teen inches between the plants in the
row.
When the first bunch of buds has
fairly made its appearance nip off the
whole of the shoots growing between
the stem and branches; but allow the
main stem to grow on until four or, at
most, five punches of buds are formed.
Then the plant being probably about
three feet high. pinch off the main
stem about three inches from the high
est bunch, and continue to nip off the
shoots as before as fast as they make
their appearance, just as in the culture
of tobacco.
II this is properly done, the greatest
amount of ripe fruit that the climate is
capable of producing will be secured.
Stakes, about four feet long, will be
required to support the plants. They
should be driven firmly into the ground
and the stem should not be tightly
bound. 1 have practiced this mode
of z. ing tomatoes for twelve years,
and have never failed 20 obtain an early
crop of weil-matured fruit. Keep tho
ground we'll stirred and mulch with
-half-rotted dung. Lots of liquid ma

Sowing Corn for Fodder.

On many farms there are places where
spring crops cannot be effectually
planted. These spots may be found in
poor places in the meadow where the
grass is light, or in n portion of u new
seeding where the seed has failed to
.'catch," or perhaps in some hollow
which was too wet for early plowing
and planting. In such cases it will be
profitable to sow the ground with
corn for fodder for next winter, or for
feeding green next August or Septcm-
Der.
1t is very common mistake in SOW
ing corn for fodder to use too much seed.
II sown too thick, the stalks will be
slender, with few leaves and nearly des-
titute of saccharine matter. In thick
sowing we ge: a heavy, bulky crop; but
it is of poor quality. Doubtless one
bushel per acre will yield crop of
more value in real nutriment than if
double the amount of seed is used. The
best way is TO drill in rows about three
feet apart, SO that horse culture may be
employed. When thus grown, the
stalks will be highly nutritious as stock
food. and the nubb:ns that will grow on
the stalks will add greatly to the feed
ing value of the crop.
For summer feeding corn should be
sown as early as it will germinate quick
ly. For fall feeding it should be sown
Mt intervals of about ten days, and
seeding continued until late in July.
The late sowings may follow any early
crop which may hare been removed,

warm, food abundant and the demand
for clothing limited. Life can be sus-
tained much easier in the summer than
in the winter, and one would naturally
think that most discontented people
