teams will have an excellent opportunity

sters Fighfing over the Tomato
Crop.
Special TO the Sunday Register.
srKuBENvILLE, August ls.-A war IN
prices has broken out in this city between
the Cold Blast fruit houses OF Brown, Ma1-
well & Henry and the gardeners. Yester-
day tomatoes were sold to retailers at 81
per bushel. This morning the Cold Blast
put tomatoes on The market at 25 cents
per bushel, and claim to have
Lost no Money.
When the gardeners came to town this
morning and found the price reduced from
81 to 25 cents per bushel, they were mad
and declared war 10 the knife. They. how
ever, closed out at 40 cents, threatening TO
retail them at rs cents if the retailers re-
fused to pay them 40 cents 8. Cable, one
of the largest market gardeners in this
vicinity, says the gardeners have declared
War 90 the knife
against the Cold Blast and all retailers who
get any supplies from it. He said 1t was
scheme to drive the gardeners out, who IN
turn could retail on the street and drive
ont the Cold Blast. -,
Ed Mcconnell has !, 500 plants and sold
tomatoes as high as 81 and S5 per bushel
this season. He announces It as an IN.
principled trick, and declared he would
bring In tomatoes Monday at
Ten Cents Per Bushel.
The Cold Blast had started the war, and he
proposed to fight them.
Some OF the retailers in the business say
that had il not been for the Cold Blast not
a bushel of tomatoes could have been
beueht in the market this season for less
than 81 so per bushel, and il they can afford
to sell tomatoes at twenty-five cents, the
dollar per bushel paid yesterday is too
much.
George H. Henry, one of the Cold Blast
firm, was interviewed aud said they were
giving the market gardners little
Dose of Their Own Medicine.
He said they had been selling tomatoes
for 81 yesterday, and that the gardeners were
selling at 25 cents and now they would sell
as cheap as the cheapest. While the fight
goes on the people who are benefited say,
Ego ahead, we can.stand it, and on Mos
day we expect to see tomatoes down to lO
cents per bushel.
At a meeting of the gardners tO-nighs
they Iassed resolutions denouncing the
action OF the Cold Blast house and agreed
to sell at market price whatever that may

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-The national
capital possesses at least one honest man.
He is waiting for Diogenes. A day or two
aro a couple of machinists, George Langley
and John R. Burges, were engaged by the
Secretary to remove an old wornout punch
machine in the canceling room OF the
Treasury Department. This room is IN the

CHARLESTON, S. c., August 1S.-Last
spring the Cambellite Baptist Church, at
Ellenton, Barnwel county, s. c., secured
The PASTORAL services Of the Rev. w. L.
Mosely. BE started out well aud soon
eapiyated his flock. He boarded with Mr..
u, A. Ashley, q pillar of his church and q
prominent merch AIT and planter. As soon
as Mosely had gained Ashley's confidence
he told him Of . guano deposit on an island
on the coast of Florida that he said there
was millions" in il he only had
The Capital 60 work If.
Mr.. Ashley was soon persuaded to form q
copartnership with Mosely to put this fer.
tilizer on the market. The co-partnership
was entered into in due form and the
papers recorded. Mosely went on to
Washington, ID. C., and returned with what
purported to be right from the United
States Government to work this guano bed.
BE went to Florida and claimed to have
had the island surveyed, an estimate OF the
quantity OF guano taken, and to have gone
10 various other expenses necessary for
their arrangements to be successful. In
addition, he said, he bought sloop on
which he placed lot of samples and
started to return home, when q storm cap
sized his boat, and he and his crew Of two
men had to

for several hours, but were finally rescued,
with the sloop damaged, but all the samples
lost. He, however, sent back and got
sample of guano, which was analysed ia
Charleston, and said to be worth 81 per
ton. Ashley had been advancing money
20 his clerical partner all this time, but q
bomb was now suddenly thrown into the
camp bya card published in a Western
Campbelite paper, which pronounced
Mosely unworthy Of any confidence. This
card was numerously signed by church
members, and on further investigation it
appeared that Mosely was an ex convict
from the Iowa penitentisry. Ashley was
hopelessly swindled out OF over 5000, but
he refused to prosecute MoselY, who has
left the State. He was last heard from in
