The Jesse James Avengers.

Mortified Mimi Special Dis,stch, 9th.
This city is i'm a terrible state Of excite
ment. resulting from two attempts To blow
up buildings with internal machines. Ii
is believed TO he the work of friends and
would-be avengers IF Jesse James. The
first attempt was made about two weeks
ago. An audience was present in one of
our public halls To witness an entertain
ment. A machine calculated To blow up
the building and destroy the people was
placed in the hallway. From some rea-
son it failed to do its work, and the audi
ence escaped. The matter has been the
talk of the town from that time. and caused
a great sensation.
Last night. about midnight, terrific ex-
il was supposed that the mill boiler had
exploded. The shock shook the city for
radius of half mile, the Noise of the ex-
plosiOn being heard for miles. The citi-
zens turned out OF their homes I'm all parts
of the city TO learn the cause. Investiga-
ton showed that an internal machine Of
tremendous power had been placed in a
building on the east de of the bridge, &C.
cupied by Dr. Graves The working of
the machine hal been successful, and the
building was blown To fragments.
The city is wild with excitement over
the affair. Crowds remained upon and
officers patroled the streets until morning
This is the city i'm which the James and
Younger brothers made the IA
nous and disastrous raid, resulting in the
killing of seven of the gang and breaking
up the organization. The James gang
swore vengeance on the town and It's poo
pie, and il is believed 10y the excited people
that the James avengers have Begun their
work.

among the Methodist brethren, that
Mr.. Thomas Harrison. the boy evan
gelist, was confined to his bed with a
serious attack of illness that he was
suffering from brain fever, brought
on by over-e1ertion during the late
Cincinnati revival. These rumors
spread among the St. Paul congrega-
ton on Sunday night, and caused con-
siderable anxiety among the church
members. In order to learn the facts
Mr.. John F. Wiltsee, on Sunday
evening at II o'clock, sent three dis
patches of inquiry in regard to the
condition of the evangelist, one to

Wharton street NJ. f. church, Phila-

Balm for a Wounded Heart.


Philadelphia TiNes.
One hundred dollars was the sum
awarded by the jury in common pleas
court No. l yesterday to Miss Lizzie
Eckhardt as the balm for her wounded
heart, which cruel Paul Wertz, q
butcher, had injured. Wertz lives on
Lawrence street, and the fair com.
plainant resides on Green street, near
Second. Away back in February,
1879, the couple met at a party at the
Eckhardt domicile, and Wertz was
smitten by the charms of the daugh.
ter. Time sped on and at the Whit
suntide festival the consent of the
parents was asked by Wertz to pay
his attentions to Miss Lizzie. This
was readily agreed to and the. love.
making began at that season so aptly
described by the poet: "In the
spring a young mans fancy turns to
thoughts Of love"
The warm summer was followed by
the cool winter, and still the passion
was undated. In 1880 the friends
and relatives gathered, and, accord
ing to an Old German custom, there
was an engagement party, at which
rings were exchanged and the couple
plighted their trOth. Soon after there
appeared upon the scene fascinating
Miss Schlessing, to whom Wertz was
introduced at the house of his inamo-
rata. By some strange coincidence
the two formed a liking for each 9th
er, and suddenly Wertz discontinued
his visits to Miss Eckhardt; so did
Miss Schlessing. The next scene in
the drama shows Wertz visiting his
new female acquaintance, and the two
riding in the park. Then a shower of
postal cards was hurled at him by his
deserted affianced. He was needless
and when the two met in the street
one day Wertz told Miss Eckhardt to

and he was Counselor Joseph l.. Tull,
who summoned Mr.. Wertz to court to
answer a charge of breach of promise.
and the damages were laid at s., 1000
Wertz determined upon a vigorous
battle, so he secured the services Of
John H FOw. After a two days
trial before Judge Biddle, the case
was terminated yesterday, with only
500 for the lady. The defense offer
ed by Wertz was that there was "too
much mother-in-law," and that he had
been driven from the side of his loved
one by frisky poker in the hands of
her mother. Exceptions have been
filed by the plaintiffs counsel to the
verdict and a new trial asked for.

Picking Apples.

The american 1p'icUt,a'ist for October
says; "The proper picking and packing Of
apples is of great importance, The best
keeping sorts will not be preservee well
unless the fruit is uninjured in the gather
Ing, and packed securely. The most APP
proved method of picking is by hand,
with ladders, the fruit being put into a
grain sack The bottom and top OF the
sack are brought together and tied and
then hung upon the shoulder. A short
stick may be used to keep the mouth of
the sack open. The sack is quickly and
easily emptied by lowering the mouth end
and lifting up the bottom. The sack can
be lowered into the barrel and the apples
will run out without being bruised as
when they are poured in from a basket
from the top. Many apple growers prefer
to put the frnit IN heaps for few days
that the skin may tougher before barrel.
ing. In short the aim in packing should
be to not bruise the fruit, and in this way
enhance its keeping quality. The fruit
should not move about in the barrels dur

must be shaken down when. the barrel is
half full and again when full, after which
the head is put on and pressed into place
with considerable force 1t is much bet

flattened than to leave the fruit so it will
