Apple culture.


Prescott Williams, of williamsburg.
Mass, who has given a quarter Of q
century to apple culture, and now has
twenty acres in the truit-l400 treet
in all-has one of the largesl
crops this year the orchard ever pro
duced. 1t reached 500 barrels. These
trees are expected to reach a bearing
capacity Of 1000 barrels. In the mex
ten years the INCOME from the tweHt,
acres is estimated at $1,000 a year
The land is like all that adjoining
and Mr.. Williams considers it all COCO
for apple culture. The popularity Of
this method is that he digs a hole five
feet square in which the young tret
is set, and it is than filed with good
soil aud well made compost. The
orchards are never ploged, for he hs,
found the little roots come to the sur
face for punishment. The wind
falls and decayed fruit art
all removed. The tres iscut to grow
low with wide spread branches.
thus avoiding much of the danger o
nigh winds. hir, Williams has tbi,
year observed, for the 6rst time, a diff
ference in the shape Of the b ildwil
trees hat bear in the odd and thu
even year. The difference is quit,
noticeable when it is once pointed
out. The even year has long and
slender branches reaching out in al
directions, while the odd tree is NOR,
scrubby, the branches growing closer
together in tho top. These facts ma,
be Of much Importance to those VIII

many other fruit r%aisers, Mr.. William.
has come to the conclusion, as a result
Of his long experience, that only a few
varieties Of both apples and pears ar,

FOREIGN NOTES.
GREAT BRITAIN.

DUBLIN, Jan. ia number of arrests
last evening and this morning were made
under the crimes act. Some of those ar
rested had arms in their possession. The
arrests were effected in various parts of the
city. At 3 o'clock this morning prisoners
were still being brought in, principally of
the artisan class. It is positively stated
that one of the prisoners is a member of
the municipality who was arrested at mid
night in his own residence on the south
side of the city, and conveyed to the Col
lege street station under strong escort.
The prisoners will be privately examined
to-day before divisional magistrate, and
possibly afterwards arranged in the police
court. The police are reticent reg arding
the causes of the arrests. The arrests
number fifteen. The prisoners will be
charged with conspiracy to murder.
The arrests here last night and this. morn
ing were in consequence of secret informa-
ton received last week that number of
persons belonging to secret society had
held special meeting in Dublin and re-
solved to assassinate certain of the more
active members of the Dublin police force.
Two conspirators turned informers. The
member of the municipality arrested is
Carey, well-known and prominent ma
tionalist. He had been previously arrested
under Forster's coercion act. It is not
believed he is connected with the assassin
alton party. The magistrates refused bail.
Carey said conspiracy was on the bench,
and threatened an action for false impris-
onment.

BUCKET-SHOPS BEATEN.

They Were Handsomely Done for by TeIe-
graph Operators Who Furnished False
QuOtatiOns--One of the Guilty Parties
Dismissed.
SYRACUSE, Jan. IA little transaction
which has created deal of talk among the
habitues of the bucket-shops and broker
offices in this city, has just leaked out. It
transpires that by the connivance of two
of the Western Union Telegraph com
pany's operators, one located at Buffalo
and the other in this city, a brokers' Office
here was victimized in corn transactions,
involving $1,000 or $500. Two operators
who had been VIGOROUSLY lucky and bold
in their ventures in December, joined a
well known dealer in this city, and the syn
dictate made several rapid trades in the
bucket-shop line, many of which were said
to be very successful. The syndicate made
some large ventures, one of the latest be-
ing trade in corn, which was bought at
1870 and was sold Immediately
thereafter for 5000. This transaction
was made just before Christmas
day. The quotations at which the trade
was closed troubled the broker in whose
Office the business was done, and he tele-
graphed to Chicago to know if the quota
ton was correct. No answer came to this
dispatch, nor to a second one, sent some
time after, but a letter received two days
later stated that the kilograms had been
promptly answered and that no quotations
of 5000 had been made on corn during
the afternoon in question. With this in
formation at hand the whole matter was
brought to the notice of the Western Union
Telegraph company. 1t was learned that
the Chicago quotations sent to the brokers
in this city are dispatched from Buffalo,
and are received directly in the various
broker Offices in this city. There was
plenty of evidence to show that the prices
sent to this city we're fraudulent, and
that, by some means or other,
the employees of the telegraph
company had become involved in transac-
tions that were thoroughly crooked. A
searching inquiry was made, which result
ed in the dismissal of one operator in Buff
falo. It is clear that the parties to the
fraud were aided by some one connected
with the telegraph service in this city, and
officers of the company are making efforts,
| which give excellent promise of success, to
find the guilty party at this end of the
line. No charge is made by the interested
broker that the members of the syndicate
who profted by the false quotations are
| parties to the fraud. One of the deals,
| however, was settled by paying back the
| margins when the discovery of the fraud
was first made. Several telegraph piracies
have lately occurred IN this city, and it is
| probable that the investigation which is
under progress will bring to light many
! scandalous transactions, among them being
the theft of a dispatch sent from this city
by Frederick Gebhardt to Mrs. Langtry al
| Chicago.

Mr.. Bragg opposed the bill. The evil of
pensions was that congress, under the
guise of doing justice to
few, did the rankest, foulest in
justice to $4,000 persons. Before
congress passed these special pension laws
it should appoint committee to grade
the pension list SO that justice be done all
alike.

from Civil Process and Held on Crimi-
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Judge Rogers deliv-
cred this morning his long deferred decis-
ion in the cases of the five gamblers ar
rested by the police in Capt. Buckeyes raid
of Nov. %. He said the decision was a de-
cision of the case of William Copely of 176
and 17S Clark street only, but that it would
apply to the others also. He said there
were four points in the defense; first, that
he had no right to sit as an examining
and committing magistrate; secondly, the
person arrested must be discharged,
because there was no charge preferred
against him and no punishment provided
by statute for being found in possession of
gaming implements; thirdly, that the
warrants could not be served or executed
by police officer, who is neither sheriff
nor constable; and fourthly, that the pro-
visions of the statute are vague, indefinite,
incomplete for the purposes sought and
unconstitutional and void. He had been
unable to find any case decided by any su-
preme court of any state sustaining the
validity of such laws, while in several
states they have been declared unconstitu-
tional and void. The warrant in this case
was therefore dismissed, and the officers
holding the seized property were directed
to return it to its owner, if
he could be found. The arrest of
Copely could not be justified under
the warrant. But he was found
in the violation of criminal law of the
state, and had been brought before him.
As he was satisfied from the evidence that
he was guilty, he would hold him in bond
of 5000 to appear to answer an Indictment
of the grand jury, if one should be found;
and so in the other cases, except in the
case of Hankins, when he was discharged
in the hearing as not proved.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Jan. 13.-The remains of Gam
BETA arrived at Nice this forenoon and
were received at the railway depot by the
project, the mayor, the municipal council,
a board of honor composed of the fire bri-
gade. The seals were then removed from
the carriage containing the body, and the
coffin deposited in one of the principal
waiting rooms especially fitted up for the
occasion. The funeral ceremonies will
commence this afternoon.
MOE, Jan. ia large number of peo-
pie visited the depot to view the remains
of Gambetta. Detachments from the va
rious French ships of war in the harbor
disembarked for the purpose of partici-
pating in the funeral procession. Not
withstanding the representations of Gam
betta's friends, deprecating the delivery of
speeches over the grave, two were deliver
ed, one by the mayor and the other by
the project. ALI the shops remained open
during the funeral and the town generally
preserved its usual appearance.
The funeral procession, instead Of going
directly to the cemetery, made long de-
tour of the streets, greatly to the annoy
ance of the relatives of Gambetta.
On arriving at the cemetery
the coffin was placed on catafalque, of
rather theatrical appearance, at the foot
of which three orations were delivered
Gen. DeBellemare, commander of the
Twenty-ninth division, briefly bade last
farewell to the great patriot. The mayor
said Nice was proud to receive as pre-
cious trust the illustrious remains
of Gambetta. The privilege which
had been grudged her enabled he
to attest his French Republican senti
ments. The project said a voice from the
tomb cried: "Forget barren festivities!
Think of France always, and only of
France" After these speeches number
of, Gambetta's family requested that
there be no more. At nightfall
the crowd continued to file past the cata
falque, without any sign of diminishing,
and Gambetta's friends, in the absence of
the municipal councillors, who had retired,
had to interfere and order the coffin low
cred into the family vault. Rain and
cold wind prevailed during the funeral.

ocrats to the positions within his gift. The
resolutions are quite elaborate and
roundly condemn the governor for his
action and formally consign him to the

hands of all responsibility for him and his
acts. Governor Begole belonged to the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-ImmedIately afte
reading the journal the house went int
| committee of the whole, Mr.. Reed, o.

priation bill. 1t appropriates $81, $4,000
of which $80,000,000 are for army pen
sions, $1,0OO,O0O for navy pensions, $275.
| 900 for fees and expenses of examining
surgeons, $4,000 for pay and allowance Of
pension agents and $4,000 for contingent
cies.
Mr.. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, under au-
thority of the committee on appropria-
tons, moved to increase the appropria.
tons for army pensions to $85,000,O00.
After lengthy discussion the motion
was adopted.
An amendment was also adopted, max
ing Immediately available $4,000 of the
appropriation for fees and expenses of ex-
aiming surgeons.
Mr.. O'Neill explained that at the close
of the present fiscal year there would be
an unexpended balance to the credit of the
pension bureau of $15,800,O00, which
would bring the appropriation up to the
estimate of the departments, $101, $780,
600.
Mr.. Blackburn said that the amendment
was right, SO far as it went, but the ques-
ton was whether it went far enough.
The estimates amounted to $101, 100000.
This bill to appropriate $86,O00,00O re-
appropriated the unexpended balance
which should be on hand at the end of the
current year. He feared deficiency bill
