Dastardly Attempt to Wreck an Ex'
press Train.

TOLEDO, May GA dastardly attempt
was made Wednesday night TO wreck the
limited express train No. on the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad at this
place, by obstructlng the track with ties 0
short distance east of the tunnel. The ex.
press train was due here at ten o'clock. A
yard engine took the track about fifteen
minutes ahead Of the express and started
east, through the tunnel, intending TO reach
the yard ahead OF the express. 1ne engine
ran slowly, and as u pulled out at the east
end, the engineer saw the ties lying across
the track. He had barely time to reverse
before the engine was almost on top Of the
obstruction. At this point the vision Of the
trainmen Is dlmmed, at night by tile train
coming suddenly from the darkness into
the glare Of the switch Lights, and objects
cannot be seen distinctly for few moments
Had the express run at It's usual rate Of
speed through the tunnel terrible accident
could hardly have been ayerted.

How This Troublesome Weed May he
Eradicated.
Many farmers are troubled by the
growth of sorrel in their fields. which.
when allowed to spread without check,
becomes very difficult, if not impossible.
to eradicate. The growth of this weed
is sure sign of poor or WORKOUT soil.
1t is q common error that the presence
of oxalic acid in sOrrel is due to the
.'sourness" of the soil. A little thought
will show that this idea is fallaciOus.
The same soil that grows strawberries
will produce rhubarb. an own cousin to
sorrel, in profusion; the same tree will
bear a sweet apple and sour one, and
so on with all farm products. The
chemical constituents of the acid of the
sOrrel are in the soil, but are not COM
bined in the acid shape. The same
elements which make one plant or fruit
sweet will make the sorrel sour. One
of the common remedies recommended
for use in eradicating sOrrel is lime, the
idea being to neutralize the acid sup
posed to exist in the soil by the applica-
ton of alkali. To be sure. the lime may
be of use in decompOsing the vegetable
matter in the soil, and so encourage the
growth of other plants which will tend!
to choke out the undesirable weed, but
not in the way supposed. Sorrel'
spreads, like some other plants. chiefly
by underground stems with joints, each
one of which will form a. plant. The
only practical way to rid a field Of this
weed is by thorough cultivation andifre-

A GREAT IRON FAMILY.


Some Interesting Facts About the Grub
Estate In Pennsylvania.
On the 26th of May, writes Lancas-
Ger. Pa, correspondent. Clement Brook
Grub repurchased the old Mount Hope
furnace property in this county, for the
sum of $500, COO cash. This is one of the
finest old iron properties in this country.
embracing $500 acres of land, with
fine farm, and the mansion, although
built by Henry Bates Grub nearly one
hundred years ago, is one of the finest
in the State. and is really of modern
style, having an immense hall and cell
ings fifteen feet high throughout. 1t Is
situated on an eminence which affords n
front view of almost Unprecedented
beauty and grandeur extending to and
over the city of Lancaster, which city 10
fifteen miles distant, and it is thanked on
the east by beautiful and extensive
terraced lawn and garden, making it
one of the most lovely summer resi-
dences possible to conceive. The con-
nection of this estate with the great
Cornwall ore mines, in which it has
perpetual right for a full supply of ore.
is what gives it its great commercial
value, and the desire to again possess
the old homestead where he was born,
and to regain that ore right which was
conveyed by him to his brother, A. Bates
Grubb, more than thirty years ago. in
duced Mr.. Grubb to make the purchase.
MIR. Grubb is now, by Inheritance, the
patriarchal ironmaster of the United
States, being the Oldest member of the
Oldest iron family in this country. His
t-great-grandfather, Peter Grubb,
came from Wales. near Cornwall. to
this country in 1879, and made large
purchases of land in what are now Leb-
anon and Lancaster Counties, from the
Indians. and subsequently had the titles
confirmed by William Penn. and upon
one of these tracts he found an immense
deposit of iron ore, which he named
Cornwall, and which mine is still the
wonder and admiration of all who visit
it. Mr.. Isaac Lowtbian Bell, nj. p,
and the greatest ironmaster in England,
and whose opinion is considered au-
thority throughout the world, told me
when he was in this country in 1876 that
he had visited most of the great iron
mines in the world, including those of
Spain, Algeria, the continent of Europe,
England, Scotland and Wales. and many
in this country, including those of Ala
bama and the iron mountain of Mis-
souri,, and then said: "But Cornwall
bears the palm as the greatest iron
mountain in the world" From geologi-
cal investigation, aided by tests made
with the diamond drill. it has been pretty
well demonstrated that Cornwall can
produce 100000 tons of ore per year
for three hundred years to come. The
original Cornwall furnace was built by
Cirtus Grubb in 1725, who operated it
for many years. Peter Grubb, the Sec
Ond. built Mount Hope furnace in 1884.
The Cornwall ore mines are now owned
and worked by the families of the
Grubbs and Colemans under the head
of the Cornwall Ore Bank Company"

COOLING THE CELLARS.
A Common Mistake in ventilating Cellar
and Milk Houses.

A Common Mistake in ventilating Cellar
and Milk Houses.
A great mistake is sometimes made in
ventilating cellars and milk houses. The
object of ventilation is to keep the eel
lars cool and dry, but this object often
fails of being accomplished by COM
mon mistake. and instead, the cellar is
made both warm and damp. A cool
place should never be ventilated, unless
the air admitted is cooler than the air
within, or is at least as cool as that, or
a very little warmer The warmer the
air. the more moisture it holds in sus-
pension. Necessarily, the cooler the air,
the more this moisture is condensed and
precipitated. When &c cool cellar is air
ed on warm day, the entering air be-
ing in motion appears cool; but as it
fills the cellar, the cooler air with which
it becomes mixed chills it, the moisture
is condensed, and dew is deposited on
the cold walls, and may often be seen
running down them in streams. Then
the cellar is damp. and soon becomes
moldy. To avoid this. the windows
should only be opened at night, and late
the last thing before retiring.
There is no need to fear that the night
air is unhealthful-it is as pure as the
air of midday. and is really drier. The
cool air enters the apartment during
the night, and circulates through it. The
windows should be closed before sunrise
in the morning, and kept closed and
shaded through the day. If the air of
a cellar is damp, it may be thoroughly
dried by placing in it peck Of fresh
lime in an open box. A peck of lime
will absorb about seven pounds, or more
than three quarts of water, and in this
way a cellar or milk-roOm may soon be
dried, even in the hottest weather. A
bushel of lime absorbs twenty-seven
pounds of water, and still appears rs
a dry powder. In this condition it will
be very useful to spread over the garden
or lawn. or around fruit trees, or it may
be used for white wash. This precautiOn
is often necessary in the dairy, because
of the prevalence, where air is damp.
