A FRUIT GROWER FAILS.
A Famous Fancy Farmer Makes an Assign
ment to His Creditors

READING. Pa, Feb. THE failure of Chris
topher Shearer, a fruit grower of State reputa-
ton, was announced to-day and created consider
able talk, because it was entirely unlocked for.
Shearer was always considered man of wealth
and successful farmer. His fine farm of 100
acres, near Tuckerton, five miles above Reading,
was an object of interest to thousands who fire.
quenty visited it Grapes, apples, pears,
peaches tobacco and fruits were raised instead
of wheat, oats, corn, etc. Mr.. Shearer always
argued that Eastern farms could no longer con-
tend with Western growers of cereals, and he
gave up the old style of farming. His broad,
well-tlled acres contain To- 900 fruit trees and as
many grape vines. His cider mills frequently
turn out 1000 gallons of cider daily. He had a
steam engine and all the most improved machin-
cry on his farm. Frequently his fifty employees
worked seven days in the week, and when nee
essary plows and cider-mills were in operation
ali day Sunday.
Among his assets are fifteen tons of Havana
seed tobacco, $4,000 gallons of Clinton grape
wine, 5000 gallons of cider, 10000 gallons of
vinegar, 600 bushels of apples, besides his farm.
six dweliinghouses, horses, cattle, etc. One or
his neighbers holds Judgment of $4,000
against him. Within the past few years Mr..
Shearer has been losing money, but no one
knew of it but himself. He was threatened
with prosecution. and rather than have his place
seized and his stock sold at forced sale he as
signed His liabilities are put down at S3o, 600,
which he says he can easily pay when prices for
his goods advance. His preferences are about
$4,000. His tobacco. etc, will now be held for
a rising market His neighbors now consider it
a question whether fruit and fancy farming pays
after ALL because Mr.. Shearer has the reputa-
ton of knowing how to get the most out Of an
acre of ground on large scale.

Cheap Water for Richmond d.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind. Feb. John M Wescott,
president and almost sole proprietor of the
Hoosier Drill Works, has been hostile TO the
water-works company from the start, and now
signifies to the mayor his willingness to make a
proposition to the council that promises most
favorably for the city and disastrously for the
company. Council long ago reseinded the bill
granting the company franchise on the ground
that the company had not complied with its
agreement. The company brought suit
to compel the city to perform
specific duty under the contract and Judge
Frazier ruled that none existed. The company
then began making overtures for terms, which
council is on the eve of joining them in, but
Wescott's move must bring matters to halt.
He says he will duplicate the companys pro-
posed works, which are, in the meanwhile, half
built and obigate himself to sell them to the city
after ten years for $3.50, 900, which is about half
what the company say theirs will cost; and ne
also proposes to operate them during these ten
years and save the city from 81, 500 to $1,000 a
year in water rental by supplying fire plugs for
$40 less than the present company does.

THE MISREPRESENTATION.
Speech limiting at Extension of Our Commerce

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 7.-Vice- president-elec
Hendricks arrived today by special train. In
response to an address, he said:
''Gentlemen of the committee-For yourselves.
and fer the gentlemen in charge of the exposi-
ton, please accept my thanks for the cordial re-
ception which you have extended to me. have
felt much interested in this great enter
prise from the time it was first me.t-
toned, and that interest was increased when
the government of the United States extend, /
its fostering care over it by a handsome appl o.
priation. The sole purpose of my trip South at
this time is to visit the exposition. and if pos
sible, contribute somewhat to its success. The
States and Territories come here with the
best products of their soil and of their skilled
labor, and not only the States ard Territories,
but foreign countries bring in comparison their
products. l understand that among your most
attractive displays is that made by Mexico
Within the memory of our people there was
war between that country and ours;
our soldiers and theirs met upon many battle
fields. But now it is of great significance that
we meet as friends to compare the ex-
cellence of our products; and gentlemen,
does not this suggest that competition
be followed by commercial relations beneficial
to both nations. Mexico and the states of Cen
trail America now exhibit the products of their
labor in comparison with ours, and may we not
hope that this will soon be followed by more
important ADMINISTRATIONS established by
commerce between the countries? Existing
friendship will be promoted and strengthened by
this exposition. There will follow, as l believe,
commercial relations of much greater i'm
portance to both countries than have
heretofore existed May we not hope
that our exposition will strengthen
the bond of friendship between the States OF the
Union, and that this may resultin increased COM
mercial exchanges between the countries2 For
these re ssons have looked forward toits success
with mSsh solicitude 1 trust the hindrances
are past, and that the present fair
weather which follows the continuous storms
will be protracted in your section; that the
people of the North will not again be bound in
ice and snow; that the exposition will DO a great
success. Please again accept my thanks for
your cordial welcome to myself and travelling

of prophet who lived in the old days and
who, in all the meantime, has been with the
immortals Mohammed, the twelfth Imam, and
the twelfth in descent from Ali is the real orig
inal. He is the Mahadi who comes again every
now and then. He was hidden from the world
at an early age, and communed only with his dis
ciples through his lifetime. and finally did not
die. but went up" with the fixed intention OF
returning to revive the glories of Moslem. AS
in the Christian theory, and even in the history
of several monarchies, this legend of prince
who is to return has afforded a favorite pretext
for no end of irnpostorS so it did In Islam Inc
most famous of these in past ages was Abulcas-
sem Mohammed Ben Abdalah, the founder of
the Fatimite dynasty in Africa. Mohammed
had prophesied that in three hundred years the
sun would rise in the west. and, as Abulcassems
glory was in 296 of the Hegira, it was held that
the prophecy referred to him, and since then the
idea of the Mahadi has commonly had relation to
a revival of the gories of Islam in that western
world of Moslemism, the provinces of Africa
held by the Arabs. Perhaps we should not
plume ourselves too much over a race of men
who are yet controlled by a vivid conviction that
their leader was born thousand years ago. We
believe in leaders whose claims to allegiance are
equally ridiculous.
