STATE CHEMISTS REPORT.
The Reason of IA Discrepancy In
Two Reports on The Same Ferii-
IsznE.

The Reason of Discrepancy In
Two Reports on The same Ferii-
Iizcr. -..---..
The discrepancy occurring between the
analytical reports of the Pennsylvania
and Delaware State Chemists upon
fertilizers submitted to them rs referred to
elsewhere in EVERY EvBsIEs is salts.
factorily explained by representative OF
Walton, Whsnn & Co.
The gentlemen referred to states that
different chemists use different processes
of Analysis, which would cause the dis
orepaucy. The reports however are Just
as valuable in way of comparing
the merits of one fertilizer
With another even though the chemists
of the different states make dissimilar
reports. A chemist uses the same process
in aualy 2ing the fertilizers and the COM
perative value of each is set forth. A
fair comparison of fertilizers, however,
could not be obtained by taking the
analysis one chemist for one brand and
thst of another for some other kind.
Errors are likely to occur in the analy
sis as was shown by the gentlemen, who
pointed out in the Pennsylvania State
Chemists report three quotations
on precisely the same fertilizer. The
quotations given are $2S,S6, 327.19,
S29.70. This has the effect of confusing
farmers and TO certain extent the ai-
yantsges resulting from an analysis is
nulified. -=...

GEORGETOWN, July 3l.-On Sunday
Afternoon last, q well-developed infant
was found in perfectly nude state
buried about 3 inches below the surface
in WILDER +. Tunnell's garden. A white
servant girl who had been living with
Mr.. Tunnels family about three months
was missing. She was supposed to be
pregnant but had never been Intercepted
about the matter. When the child was
found it was disinterred and removed to
place of safety and Coroner James sent
for. He was absent from home, and
never arrived till about p. m. yester.
day.
A jury was summoned and q post
norton examination held, Drs. Biohsrds
and Layton assisting. The lungs were
found to float in water, thus showing that
they had been inflated with air, aud the
right parietal bone of the skull was
broken in. The verdict of the jury was
that the child was live born and came to
it's death by violence, the fracture of the
skull being sufficient to produce death.
The girl who is supposed to be the
mother is oow at the residence of her
brother in town very sick. She ia not
now in condition to be Intercepted in
relation to the matter, but ii 10 very evil
dent that she is the mother of the child
Whether the violence done to the child
was premeditsted or not it not known. 1t
is reported that she WAS engaged to be
married to young man by the name Of
Rogers, who lait here ard went West or
some ether direction about two months
ago. Ex-Coroner Hatfield, undertaken,
took charge of the remains, and will give
it a decent burial to day.
