of the Charles club his statements should he con

Charles cOuntian who Was present nj the time
will let Mr. Parran'S card have any weight with
them. Mr.. Pan ran has fabricated tale out OF the
whole cloth when he says that Mr.. Paul J. lh-
shell was offered by the Calvert club a an um-
pire and that and other members of our club
objected la his acting in that capacity. II Mr..
Parran can mention the maine of a single mem

Destructive Fire.
The house occupied by Mr.. Theodore Lyon,
near La Plata, took fire about 10 U clock on
Thursday morning Of last week and was COM
petely burned TO the ground together with all
its contents. The FIRE caught from the kitchen
chimney and is supposed to h,va originated
from II defective fue. Mr.. Lyon, his sons and
all OF his farm hands were working in "a field
some distance from the house, which WAS occu-
pied solely by the female folks Of his family al
the time. Ar soen The FIRE was discovered
the ladies gave an alarm, tut before Mr.. Lyon
and his help could reach the house the flames
had burst through the roof Of the kitchen and
famed by the high wind prevailing at the
time, were rapidly spreading and had gained
such headway as make checking then entirely
impossible. and also TO render almost useless
any attempt to save the contents Of the build
ing. few of the beds wire gotten out, but
all the rest Of the furniture and all the wearing
apparel of lbe family, save what they had on
at tn. time, was entirely consumed. The flames
and parks from the iu ming building soon GEM
municated themselves to the meat house corn
house AMI grainary and dairy, which were in
close proximity, AMI these also were consumed
together with 90 bushels Of wheat and about
| 10 barrels OF coin. The meat they succeeded
in saving. The iarn ais took FIRE but was X
ting uishe bsf, r, much damage had been done
There " as no Insurance on either the buildings
or contents ami the loss is complete an 1 total
one on Mr.. Lyon and his family. The build
ing WAS owned ty the Spading estate.

How 10 Pick and Pack Apples.

The proper picking and packing Of apples
is Of great imp ortance. The best keeping sorts
will not be prese ytd well unless the fruit is
uninjured in gathering and packing securely.
The most approved method of picking is by
hand, with ladders, the fruit being put into a
grain sack. The bottom and top of the sack
are brought together and tied, and then hung
over the shoulder. A short stick may be used
to keep the mouth of the sack open The sack
is quickly and easily emptied by lowering the
mouth and lifting up The bottom. The sack
can he |, wered into the barrel, and the apples
will ran out without being bruised, as when
they poured in from basket from the top
Many apple growers prefer to put the fruit in
heaps for u few days, that the skin may tougher

The DrOuth.

The most distressing dreuth, which has
prevailed in this section of Maryland for the past
two months still continues. This is one OF the
most extended and distressing drouths which
has visited our section in great many years.
For eight weeks it has prevailed, unbroken
save by one or two partial and inconsideraole
light showers which have fallen in small sec
lions of the county during its continuance. The
droulh of 1891, which was the severest OF any
recent drouh in this section, was not nearly so
extended in its duration as the one that now
prevailing. Both the corn and tobacco crops
have been irreparably and very materially
shortened, hut the damaging effects OF the
drouth will bear more directly upon the latter
crop Some crops OF corn which were planted
very early pretty well matured before the
drouth set in, still that crop will be shortened
to the extent of one fourth. The tobacco crop
has been severely biz hted, the drouih coming
on Just ut the time that il was most in need OF
nutriment The crop will he shortened in this
county fully one hal, and the crop is now
nearly all housed there is no hope Of improv-
mtnt. The quality OF the crop will as rule
be good but all he farmers with whom we have
conferred concur in the estimate that the quanti-
ty of the product grown in this county during
the present year viii not exceed one half of the
usual production. Following for wheat has also
been rendered mpracticable 10y the drouth and
AS a consequence the acreage of that crop for
the next year promises TO he materially reduced
Altoge her the drouth has operated very dis
as,rou<ly upon our agricultural interest

A Tramp Committed.

A remarkahl, filthy tramp giving the name
Of Alexander Holman, Was arrested by SherIh
Smoot at the instance of Rev e. +. Williams
cn Friday last and lodged in Jail. On The same
day he had hearing before Justice Smoot and
-w..s committed TO the House of Correction for
one YEAR III his statement before the Justice
the tramp said that he WAS native OF Sweden
and had leen in this country for twelve years,
during which time he had not done day :
work save when be was incarcerat, in some
prison or work house and was compelled TO do
it. He had tramp-d nearly all over The country
and seemed to be perfectly familiar with all the
forms of the Justices court and his subsequent
commitment. He begged Judge Smoot, how
ever. to alter his commitment TO six months
so that he would not be thrown on the cold,
hard world in the winter season. The Judge,
however refused to accommodate him. Sheriff
Smoot left with him on Monday morning for
his future residence. 1t is hoped that the au-
thorities at the House of Correction will give
him plenty of work to make up for his twelve
years OF idleness.
