Disease In Fruit Trees
It has been discovered by a Dutch
scientist that the gum which collects on
the branches of certain trees-especially
the cherry, peach, plum and others
bearing stone fruits due to disease of
the tree. The disease is produced by a
highly organized fungus, whose action
causes the formation of the gum, and it
is quickly reproduced in sound trees
when they are inoculated with pieces of
the gum containing any of the fungus.

Heath's Failure

NEW YORK, October 2.-The Tribune,
tomorrow, will say: The principal
creditor of VIM. Heath g. Co. is Clio
vanni P Morosini, partner in the we'll
known firm of w. E. Connor
& Co., who became famous by
his connection with Jay Gould.
His claim against the firm is about
$3.50 900 for which he had no security
of any kind. Among the other large
creditors are, Jay Gould, $26O,COO;
James I. Low, form erly the dry goods
firm of Low, Hartman & CD, and now
father of the present head of the firm,
ABOUT $500, 600; Addison Cammack,
$50 ,0O0, AMI William n. Scott, of Erie,
Pa, $4,000. In addition to these, the
firm of Soutler 81 Co., which failed on
Tuesday, is said to be q creditor to the
extent of about $3.50, 00l, in consequence
of its dealing with Henry n.
Smith. The liabilities of Heath &
Co. cannot fall short of 81, 800 600,
and may exceed that sum. Ehe assets,
excepting hthe claim against Henry n.
Smith, are unknown. This claim
amounts, it is said, to about 81. 200 900;
is brokerage form. it is known
something more than 100000. He is
also indebted to Woersshoffer & Co. for
a still larger amount. 1t was estimated
by good judges that Mr.. Smiths lIabili-
ties would not fall below $1,000 OO0
His assets are supposed to be nominal.
Speaking of the failure, Mr.. Smith said:
My operations have dragged down
William Heath and am more sorry
for him than for myself. but have not
deceived him at any time and he has
not deceived me. supposed he would
be able to carry me through ard he
said he could do it successfully. Even
this morning, he expressed his conf
dence in being able to pull through.
There is nothing in the rumor about a
joint account between me and Woeres-
heffer. We did have a Joint
account in Heath's Office, but it was
closed early in August. I believe my
misfortunes are my own, but shall be
on my feet again and perhaps very
soon.n
