SAX FRAs0sco, Jan. S.-A special dispatch
telegfsphed here saying thst Martin J. Rya1,
of West Fourteenth street, New York, has
been poisoned by California port wine, has
created much indignation among wine mer-
chants here. They say the seller OF the wine
was sctusted by malicious attempt to dis
courage the sale of Cslifornsa wines in the
East, and 10 benefit the adulterated foreign
importations. Arpad Hsraszthy, the Presi-
dent of the State Vinecultural Commission,
said: There is no sdulteration OF California
vines, as no sdultursl can be purchased here
as cheap as the pure grape wine; hence there
exists 10 motive for adulteration. The oaly
explanation I can give, outside of there be-
ing deliberate intention of injuring the
California wine trade, is shot there may
have been few grains of that left in the
bottle after washing it."

Preserving Celery for the Winter.

The methods mostly recommended for
wintering celery, by putting it into pits or
trenches covered with boards strs ~ leaves
densr or large grower who does 1t in a whole
sale way, but 1t is not at all adapted tc-she
farmer. He wants celery often, and bat a
limited quantity ct a time, aud when il is
put up by this method he will go without
sooner than dig il from under the snow or
frozen earth. Secure some deep boxes, as
deep, or nearly as deep, as the celery leaf,
stalks and all IL the bottoms are not water
tight make them so by mailing battens over
the cracks. Then bore three or four holes
about four inches above the bottom.
When the weather becomes so cold
that you fear the celery will freeze
.(light frosts do not injure it). loosen
it with spade and take it up, leaving q
small quantity of the soil adhering to the
roots of each plant, and place il in boxes as
thickly as the plants can be crowded to-
geiher until the box is filed except little
in one corner. Then crowd q board down
across the corner diagonally, so as to leave a
space through which you can pour water
without wetting the celery. When thus
filed, place 1t in some dark cellar, where
it will remain as near freezing as possible
and not freeze. Down the open corner pour
q half pail of water. and do this sufficiently
often so that water shall be always in the
bottom of the box; the holes bored in the
sides will prevent its rising high enough to
come among the stalks, as this would cause
them to rot. Celery is lowlsnd plant, and
will thrive with It's roots in the water, and
when taken out, as wanted, Will be found
to have made a large amount of new growth,
and all will have become nicely bleached
and tender.

Stories Told About Gould and His Anxiety

Special 10 the Sentinel.

Special TO the Sentinel.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. SIT was announced in
special dispatches from Washington recently
that Jay Gould had opened in gorgeous
splendor a brokers' Office. and had
purchased another, and was CIV
ing dinners through his agents
view to strangling proposed legislation for
feitiDg the Southern Pacific land grants.
His plan, it was alleged. was to get states
men interested in this stock. He desired
them to purchase, and they would there
fore not be inclined 10 so lesislate that
the stock would depreciate and by the
bull movement be could unload his millions
on New York Change.
Now it is stated that Gould proposes c1m-
ing here himself to look after the matter.
This statement is discredited by those who
personally know Gould. They say it is not
his method of operation. One of his friend
said to-day:
''If Jay Gould wanted to defeat bill II

and just defeat it by buying up those VII ,

The Interstate Commerce Bill From "a
Railroad standpoint.
Special TO the Sentinel:
WASHINGTON, Jan. S-Some OF the South
ern and Southwestern members OF Congress
are regretting that they have ever taken up
the subject of Interstate commerce. It has
resulted already in proving that very
few, If any, of the railroads built
in that section pay dividends, while
very many of them have lost to the
projectors all they put IN them, the stock
being OF only nominal value. These advo-
cstes of an inter State commerce law fer
they will scae away capital from their
MIDST, and that il they want any more rail-
roads in the future they can net get it by
Northern capital.
VIM. Walter Phelps speech has had much
to do with bringing about this fear. He has
proclaimed on the floor of the House and in
private conversation that in the several
deals he bas been whereby railroad enter
prises were established in Texas he has lost
heavily, and that be knows of others whose
losses run up into millions. he thinks it
is 3 very great risk to build railroads any
where now, and that any step taken by Con.
gTess toward curtailing the rights of railroad
corporations is a step in the direction of
strsngulation of future railroad construction
in Lew sections of country.
