The Test Last Night.

At the test of the new Prunty spray nozzle
last evening by the Water Witch engine at
the sluice, over Market street bridge, under
the supervision of J. X. Adams and diree-
tors of the company everything worked de-
cidedly satisfactory. The nozzle was first
tested with solid steam of ~ inches and
then the spray was tried with complete sue
cess. By the aid of the shut-of attached to
the nozzel the solid stream was shut of
completely and the spray appliance was
allowed to play. The next test was with
reducer, which also gave complete satisiac-
ton. The object of the company in going
to the sluice was to test the engine IN its
lifting qualities, and it was found that the
engine worked as well as could be expected
under the circumstances. Owing to the
darkness 1t was unable to continue as long
as was wished, but it was sufficient to prove
that by the use of this nozzle fireman can
fight fire at decidedly close quarters. BY
the use of the spray smoke can be kept at q
respectful distance and heat overcome. IN In
ali probability second test will be made
some other time during the day, when all
the points can be seen and noted.

A CURIOUS SORT OF WORK,
Alleging That an Old Church TrOubl
Caused an Attempt to Wreck q Train.

Alleging That an Old Church Trouble
Caused an Attempt to Wreck Train.
PITTsBURG, August 1S.-A new and start
ling phase of the attempt to wreck an ex-
cursion last night on the Lake Erie railroad
was developed this afternoon. Rev. Nevin
Woodsides and two members of the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church, Messrs. White
and Neeson, called upon Mayor Lyon and
asked that a thorough investigation be made
of the affair." About year or so ago the
church, then known as the Oak Alley
Church, was rent in twain by dissensions
among the flock. Ever since this the bitter
est feeling has existed between the two
factions and the matter was carried into the
courts. Not long since Mr.. Woodsides re-
ceived a postal card threatening his life
unless he left the city. The train from
Alequippa Grove last night had on board
his congregation and Sunday school, return
ing from picnic, and there is a feeling
among certain members of the congregation
that the diabolieal deed was attempted by
or through the agency of some one who had
suffered fancied wrong in the old troubles.
In an interview with Mr.. Woodsides tonight
he stated that he felt it a duty he owed
to his congregation to have the matter in
vestigated, though there was a doubt In his
mind as to whether the attempt was really
made or not. The railroad officials are
very reticent about the affair an treat it as
of no consequence.
PIFTsBURG, August 18.-The reported at
tempt TO wreck train on the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie railrord last night is denied.

TORTURED BY HUNGER.
MINERS FAMILIES FEELING
THE STRIKES EFFECTS.
AN EXPLANATION FROM ELKToN.
The StecIklein Version of the Recent Dis
turbance In Which Father Lyon is Said
to Have Been Insulted at q Funeral.

A special from Pittsburg, Pa, to the
Philadelphia Press, In speaking of the
straits to which the striking miners of the
Pan Handle railroad are reduced, says many
are leaving the strikers camp and seeking
work on the old terms, and tells the follow
ing sad story Of misery
During the five months of the lockout the
miners have completely exhausted their re-
sources. The truth is that large number
of the miners and their families have been
on the verge of starvation for weeks past. 1t
has been maintained that the union was
supplying the strikers with funds. Inquiry
among the miners fails to confirm this re-
port, AT the camp yesterday the men had
but two very light meals. The children of
a number of the strikers went to the camp
to get their allowance of food for the fami-
lice, and left in most instances with the half
of a small loaf of bread. Many pitiful
stories of destitution are told.
Last Friday, Mrs. Waag, wife of a miner
who lives ON the Silk farm, southeast of
Mansfield, who was faint with hunger,
heard the repeated appeal of her four little
children for food without being able to give
them bread and still their cries. Hope was
dead in the poor mothers breast. She could
no longer endure to hear the walls of her
little ones and see their father sitting idly
by waiting the result of the strike. The
mother urged her husband, as she had fire.
quently done before, to go to work regardless
of the charge of being "blackleg." or
being hooted as he went to and from his
work. The miner replied that he would not.
''Do you not hear your children crying
for bread9' the poor woman asked. The
man was silent.
81 can suffer this no longer" the wife and
mother declared, "and ask you again for
Gods sake, and for the children's sake, and
for my sake, If you will not go to work to
save us from starvation This is the last
time l shall ask you. Will you go to work?"
"No," the man replied, and walked away
that he might not be tortured by further ap-
peals. When he returned about an hour
later he found his wife cold in death. The
woman in her desperation had committed
suicide by swallowing quantity of poison.
Mr.. Robert Bell, Superintendent of the
Mansfield Coal and Coke Company, says
that one OF his old miners yesterday applied
to him for place in the pit. Mr.. Bell gave
him work. After hesitating some moments
the miner said In broken voice "Mr. Bell,
will you please advance me money enough
to buy little food. / have not eaten a
mouthful for two days. Before / can go
into the pit must also have money enough
to purchase oil for my lamp" A few days
previous to this another man came to work
and broke down completely, weeping like a
child.

PEACHES IN BALTIMORE.
That City Becoming an Important Market
fer the Delaware Staple.

The Baltimore Day says 1t is not an
overstatement TO say that 1000 packages of
peaches arrived in the city yesterday. Some
of these were brought from the Patuxent
river by the Wenonah, from West Point and
York river landings and by the steamers
from Norfolk. The greater quantity, how
ever, came from the Eastern Shore. The
Kent, from Salisbury and the Wicomico
river; the Highland Light, from West,
Rhode and South rivers the Ida, from
oxford and Cambridge, and the Helen from
Crisfield, Hunting creek and 0nancook, put
upon the wharf fully 1900 crates. The
Helen also carried 1,S1) barrels of
sweet potatoes. Much fruit also came by
schooners and pungies, and a great deal
found its way into the city over various rail-
way lines. After careful tour among the
leading commission houses of the city, it
may be said with every assurance of ac-
curacy that the crop of peaches this year
will be large one. A thoughtful estimate
places the yield of the Eastern Shore alone
at about 2, 500 600 baskets, and these figures
will be increased by the fruit shipped from
Virginia and from farms adjacent to railway
transportation. 1t is probable that more
than one-half of the peaches sent to market
Will be gathered on the Chesapeake shore,
much of them on Kent island and in the
counties drained by the Sassafras river A
great deal of this succulent fruit, grown in
Sussex county, is finding its way into Balti-
more markets. The Artisan from Seaford
and landings on the Nanticoke river brought
the hesviest cargo of any steamer to-day.
Quantities are also shipped via the Delaware
and Dorchester railroad, thence by steamer
to this city.
1t is said that every depot platform be-
tween Seaford and the Chesapeake is over
weighed with stacks of this parishable fruit,
demanding prompt attention. Many crates
of peaches from New Castle county, Della
ware, are sent to Baltimore by way of the
Kent railway, running from Bombay Hook
to Chesapeake bay, fruit growers claiming
that the prices here nearly equal those of
Northern cities and that the expense of
transportation is not near so great. Kent
county, where the dark green foliage of the
peach orchard is seen on every hand, is also
beginning to appreciate the value of Balti-
more as a market for her fruit, and Sussex
county is getting partially. weaned from her
Northern markets, insomuch that fruit
reached here yesterday coming from so far
inland as Milford. Baltimore offers every
advantage for railway shipments further
West and Northwest, and can consume a
great deal of the fruit herself. There is no
reason why, in the near future, she should
become the centre of this profitable industry.

The LactOmeter Test.
philadelphia Ledger. ]


New York milk dealers are protesting
against the testing of milk by the lacto-
meter, which they say is utterly untrust-
worthy. They will have hard time, how
ever, in proving their case, for these instru-
ments have received the approval of scien-
tific men of unquestioned ability and in
tegrity. The dealers also protest against
having their milk seized before they have
had an opportunity to examine it, init
mating that if 1t was found to be diluted
they would not attempt to sell it. But they
ought on the other hand to be thankful to
the Health officers for making the inspec-
ton for them, and giving them the best kind
of defence against any attempt on the part
of the dairymen to collect pay for such con-
demned milk. The dealers need loose
nothing by any adulteration not committed
by himself if he will aid the authorities in
breaking up the sale of watered milk by
throwing the responsibility back upon the
dairyman who has sent him milk that fails
to come up to the requirement of
the law. There is, in fact, no hardship in
this law upon people who are disposed to
deal honestly with the public, and the COM
plants of Others are not worth needing.
