Two good shovels full have been thrown
close to the body of the tree and three feet
from the trunk. This manure has been not
quite thrown away, but very nearly. The
feeding roots of a thirty year old apple tree, or
ten year old peach tree instead of being
within one or two feet from the trunk arc
mainly from eight to twelve feet away unless
they have been out or broken by the pillow.
The feeding roots of the peach correspond
with the last years growth of top wood which
produces the fruit Any observer can see
that but few peaches are borne close to the
body of the tree, but at the extremity of the
branches corresponding with the feeding
rootlcts. To accomplish the most good, ma.
nure should be spread around under the tree
as far as the shade would extend were the sun
vertical If it be worked into the soil, the
rootlets will seek it when the moisture and
chemical action of the soil renders it soluble.
If lett on the surface it will act AS mulch
and draw the rootlets upward, and much of
the valuable part of the manure will escape
from time to time IN the air.
We prefer to spread the manure around I'M
der the trees at a distance of one-tOurth the
diameter of the shadow in a vertical sun and
turn it under that all too volatile portions OF
the manure may remain in the soil and be ap.
propriated as food to the foliage and the fruit.

BLAINE AND BELMONT.

When Blaine appeared before the committee
cy the republican committee having the in
vestigatlon IN charge turned his examination
over to Mr.. Belmont, a democratic member
from New York city, son OF Mr.. August Bel
mont young man of 30 years, and supposed
of such light calibre IN comparison with the
tremendous Mr.. Blaine, that he would soon be
etfectually "chawed up" The result showed
that Mr.. Blaine had got holu Of a 'singed cat"

show that they were by no means as unevenly
matched as the republican members of the
committee imagined they would be. 1t occur.

Mr. Blame (continHing)-And If he leaves

there should be no treaty of peace which did

The Jenny Cramer Trial.

The trial of the Malley boys and Blnache
Douglass at New Haven, tor the murder of
Jenny Cramer, promises to excel the Guiteau
trial in length. The witnesses thus far ex.
ahmed are medical experts, in an attempt on
the part of the prosecution to prove that Jennie
Cramer was not drowned, but was poisoned by
arsenic and thrown into the water after her
death. The most important witness yet ex
amined has been Prof. Chlttenden, of Yale
College, who analysed both the stomach and
portions of the body of Miss Cramer, and who
states as the result that she had taken, within
twe.r. .'nrr i..-I> 4 act G,ual IA ,,u:.l.l,i, ul
arsenic equal to at least So grains, more than
enough to cause death, and that it was taken
in the form of Fowler's solution, tasteles:
liquid. The Professor is obliged to go into
ali the minutiae of the analysis, and IN the
course of 1t quoted literally from French and
German and even Russian authorities, which
he was obliged to translate to the jury, taking
up of course great deal of time. The cour
room has thus far been crowded. and the loca
excitement grows with the expectation o.

Is year old negro brute who was arrested on
Sunday tor committing rape on 6 year old
white girl, the daughter of Mr.. Charles Voght,
who lives on Shelby street near Its terminus.
The deed was committed Saturday night. The
child was playing out in the back yard, when
the negro boy observed her and walked around
to where she was There was small shed in
the back yard, and he managed to coax the
child into It, closing the door after him. AT
this she became somewhat frightened and
tried to escape, when the brute seized her by
the arm and threatened to kill her if she made
any noise. She, however, began to cry at the
top of her voice, but he caught her by the
throat and threw her upon the floor. The lit
tie girl Is in very dangerous condition, and
1t IS feared that serious results will follow
The community IS terribly excited.

A man in a sleeping-car on an Eastern rail.
road kept people awake two hours by pro.
pounding about bedtime the query: What is
the best thing to brush a hat within And the
whole crowd stayed awake and guessed, and
one man who came TO his station and mad TO
get of without hearing the answer felt awfully.
And finally, after they had all given 1t up, the
questioner said he thought the best thing to
brush a hat with was hat-brush. And 1t was
painful to witness the disgust of the crowd.

Yesterday afternoon, while a man
named Devore was engaged in loading
his wagon with gravel at the pits on
Short street, the bank caved in on him.
Mr.. Lavell, who was working near,
heard the noise of the falling earth and
hastened to the spot He found Devore
covered with gravel and moaning as
though painfully hurt. He removed the
earth as quickly as possible and found
that Devore's leg and one of his hands
were badly crushed. He procured q
truck and had the injured man brought
down town, where he was placed in a
spring wagon and taken to his home ON
Boyle Heights. Drs. Harmon and Ma
deau were called in and on examination
found that his left leg, from the knee
down, was literally smashed, the bones
protruding through the flesh. Last
night, assisted by DR.. Sawyer, they am
putated the crushed limb, after which
the patient rallied and, if he continues
to improve until this morning, they have
hopes of his ultimate recovery, although
his age, between fifty and sixty, is
against him. In view of this accident
and the probability of Others of a similar
character, we would call the attention
of the proper authorities to the danger
ous condition of these gravel pits, the
bank being undermined and liable to fall
at any time.
