CinchOna Culture.

the department of agriculture has, for
some years past, been sending young Gin
chona trees to various parts of the country
for the purpose of ascertaining whether a
region can be found where it will thrive.
Some days ago the House, on motion of
Mr. Randall, called on the commissioner
of agriculture for information upon this
subject, and had read the following letter
from Professor Kennedy, of Philadelphia,
upon tho necessity of looking after the
cultivation of the Peruvian bark tree.
POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE, Phila., April
2O.-My Dear Sir ;: You are doubtless
fully aware that the plantations of cin-
chona or Peruvian bark from which tho
world derives it's supply of Guinia are in
jeopardy. and that Holland and England
| have, with wise forecast, already pro-
vided against probable contingencies by
establishing in their Asiatic possessions
plantations Of the tree. 1t is SO evidently
the duty of our country to initiate this
example that beg to suggest the passage
by Congress OF a resolution requesting the
secretary of tho interior to institute
full and careful inquiry, and re-
port to Congress whether any part
of tho public domain is adapted to
the growth of the cinchona with the
view of having that portion reserved
from sale until Congress takes action on
the report. The three grows well upon
| the slopes of tho Andes in a rare and tenn
perate atmosphere. Its cultivation in Asia
has already afforded bark yielding high
er percentage of the active principles than
the bark imported from Peru. There
should be no opposition to resolution of
this kind, and, although you are know
very much occupied, trust that you will
find time to prepare and present it at an
early day.
Very truly your friend.
Alfred l.. Kennedy.

THE STIsASBURG BANK,

Reorganization and Election of Omcers.
The stockholders of tho First national
bank of Strasburg held a meeting yester-
day at their banking house, to take some
action in regard to their charter which
will expire June 1, 1882, this being one of
the first banks, No. AZ, that was organized
under the national banking law, and as
there seems to be no prospect of the pas
sage of the bill now before Congress to en-
able national banks to renew their charter
without going into liquidation, there
was full attendance, 75j shares being
represented out of 500. Jacob Bachman
president, and Geo. X. Reed acting as Sc
cretary. 1t was unanimously agreed to
60 into liquidation in accordance with the

Runaway Accident.

Yesterday afternoon between and 6
o'clock, while horse belonging to Henry
Hartman, limeburEcr, of Lampeter, was
standing hitched to a top buggy in the
yard of the Leopard hotel, he slipped his
bride, and becoming frightened, ran out
of the yard and down Duke street at a
furious rate of speed. He fell once, but
recovering his feet ran to near Vine street
where the buggy struck a tree and was
pretty badly wrecked, top, shafts and
single-tree being broken and other parts a
good deal shattered. The horse became
detached from the vehicle and ran to near
Church street where he was caught. He
sustained but slight injury.

Charges Against Clergyman Who Married
Wealthy Widow Occurrences of
General Interest In Various
Parts OF tho Country.
Before Chief Justice Morton, of the
Massachusetts, supreme judicial court, the
trial of the divorce case of Cumming VS..
Cumming began. The petitioner, Louise
w. Cumming, was formerly the wife OF
the late Major Charles O. Rogers, propri-
tor of the Boston Journal. The respond
ent was formerly the tutor Of Rogers four
children, and he married the widow 3S3
days after the majors death. Cumming
is diminutive Englishman, clergyman
by profession, and five years the
junior of his wife. Major Rogers left
81, 400, 900 of which 5000, 900 was devised to
each child, $4OO, 900 to the widow, and
the remainder was to be held in trust by
Charles II. Cotting and the late Harvey
Jewell. 1t is alleged that Cumming
squandered much of his wife's money and
induced her to sign over to him sundry
property. On November 81, 1881, Mrs.
Cumming filed libel for divorce, alleging
adultery, drunkenness and extreme
cruelty, pending which sho obtained from
the supreme court an injunction to pre-
vent Cumming from disposing of the
property. William Sohier appears for the
libellant and Benjamin F. Butler for the
respondent.
Tho testimony introduced was to show
that from October 6 to 1S, 1871, Cumming
lived at the New Marlboro house, in
Boston, with a woman called "Stella the
Angel" under the aliases of Mir. and Mrs.
johnson that he visited houses of i'll fame
and took women to champagne suppers in
tho private rooms of restaurants !; got
drunk frequently, and sometimes smashed
things, etc. Employees Of the New Marl-
boro hotel testified that Cumming and
Stella occupied the same room; calling
the porter and sending him for drinks in
the morning.
Ex-State Senator William D. Park tcs-
titled that Cumming took several dinners
at bis house with lady, and that his
bills were from sig to $50 that he Qark)
telephoned for Cumming to the New
Marlboro house for q room for them, as he
(Park) never allowed women to lodge in
his house.
Hon. f. 3. Fay, ex.mayor of Chelsea,
who married Miss Rogers, the petitioner
daughter, testified to Cummings drunken
habits, and policemen and others cor
roborated this. Tho case promises some
very spicy developments of skeletons in
high-tOned closets.

Marriage Bells on the College Campus.
A large audience gathered in tho college
chapel last evening to witness the mar
riage of Miss Kate Apple, daughter Of Rev.
DIR. Thos. G. Apple, president of Franklin
and Marshall college, of this city, to Rev.
Calvin S. Slagle, Of Hanover, Pa, grad
uate of the<cOllege and of the seminary.
Punctually at o'clock the friends of the
bridal party entered the chapel; while the
college orchestra played the wedding
march, escorted by the ushers, Rev. Cyrus
J. Musser, of Bedford county, Pa, and
Prof. AT. G. Apple, of Palatinate college,
Meyerstown, Pa, followed by tho brides
maids, Misses Name Slagle, Minnie Apple,
Bessie Apple, Nettie Hause, Ada Krebs,
and Lizzie Yeagley, and lastly the bride,
escorted by her brother, Mr.W. N. Apple,
and the groom escortiDg the mother of
the bride. There was none Of the stiff
formality often manifested on such occa-
sions, but the party took places in an easy,
graceful manner, in front of the chancel,
and the ceremony was performed by the
father of the bride, according to the beauti-
full office for marriage in the liturgy of the
Reformed chulch. One merit Of this Office
is its brevity. After the bridal party re-
tired from tho chapel, the audience tarried
short time to listen to the excellent
music furnished by the college orchestra,
and then large number of invited friends
attended the reception given at the home
of the bride ON the campus. Tho bridal
party left on tho 1910 a. IN. train for
Philadelphia, Atlantic City, &c, on their
wedding trip. Upon their return, after
visiting Mr.. Slagle's homo in Hanover,
Pa, the married pair will take up their
residence near Bedford, where Mr.. Slagle
is located as pastor. The bride leaves a
large circle of warmly attached friends in
this city. We wish them much happiness
in the journey of life upon which the cou-
pie have now entered in their now rela-
tiOn.

MIR. GEIsT PLEADS SURPRISE.


The Continental Independent MuadIed.
Philadelphia Record.
State Senator Stewart, of Franklin, WHO
is the chairman of tho sO-called COntinen-
tai Independent executive committee sent
out notices few days ago notifying the
other members of the committee that he
would be in Philadelphia yesterday, and
that he desired q conference at the Girard
house, as to what plan should be pursued
in the future. When he arrived last night
MIR. Stewart disclaimed any responsibility
for the call, and MIR. Geist and the other
members who had come ON were some
what surprised at Stewards conduct.
Colonel William McMichael had prepared
q resolution for adoption, the preamble of
which recited that "the convention Of
May 10 did not represent the Republican
party therefore We recommend that the
convention of May "a place in the field 4
ticket composed wholly of Republicans,
aud that none of the candidates named in
the convention of last week be nominat-
ed"
When this committee was selected last
December it was agreed that none of the
members should be candidates for nOmi-
natien before the regular convention. AS
soon as it was called into power, however,
Stewart began to look with covetOus eyes
upon the nomination for the supreme
bench and Senator Davies upon the lieu-
tenant governorship. Stewart was left
in the cold, while Davies captured prize.
There will be no conference, and Senator
Lee and Mr.. Phillips will not como until

dents buchanan, Pierce, Tyler and Van
Buren, were all good judges Of horseflesh,
and were all therefore fond of witnessing
the races of their day in Maryland and
Virginia. General Grant, fond as he was
of horses, never attended the races during
Lis presidency-not even at Long Branch
while passing his summer there. 1t was
alleged by his intimate friends that he
was prevented by Chaplain Newman from
gratifying his tastes in this way. Mr..
Hayes, of course, took no interest in races
which were decided honestly and not by
affidavits or clerical errors. Yet the
Washington races were established during
his administration.
