The Big Fourteen.

You see here, Mr.. Editor, fourteen strawberries
filling to its full capacity standard quart meas
urc. They are one of the two quarts (al that
were ripe) which / picked this morning from
seven dozen vines planted last August. These
circumstances are mentioned because 1t is, of
course, more difficult to get fourteen such straw
berries from two quarts than from large pick
ing. Yesterday gathered the same quantity and
selected sixteen, which measured one quart and
thinking of Mayor Hodges hard struggle with
the City Council some time ago, dubbed them
the big STRENGTHENING then no idea that
Big Sixteen to select from now, could, no doubt,
I'LL quart measure with twelve, if not with ten
out of the thirty; but alas on searching for
them, found that they were beyond my reach
having short time before entered the pearly
gates of the Red Lane. They are the Sharpless
variety, do well in almost any soil, If made rich,
and are of excellent flavor. Three years ago /
gathered eghty-iive gallons from a bed 60x20
feet, about half being Sharpless. Had all been
of that variety there would doubtless have been
one hundred gallons. | cultivate them in hills
fifteen inches apart each way, tho beds being
slightly raised, with three or four rows in a bed,
kept well mulched and clear of weeds and run
ners. The vines, when that close, will themselves
after the second year, keep nearly all the weeds
and grass down. A small forked hoe drawn up
and down between the rows every week or two
will destroy the few weeds that spring up. Many
persons make the fatal mistake of not first ascer
tanning to what particular variety their soil is
adapted. there being more difference in this re-
spect in strawberries than in any other fruit AL
most any kind, however, will succeed if at all in
somewhat stiff soil; while some of the very best
kinds as the Monarch of the West--fail entirely

GENERAL ALIENS FATE.
A Popular Resident of Newport End
 His Life.

NEWPORT, July 26.-General James H. Van Allen, who committed suicide by jumping overheard from the steamship Umbria on the 21st instant, was a great favorite with the business portion of the community, he being plain every day sort of a man who came here to reside few years ago. He cared little for society, although he had plen- ty of money and social influence. He pur- chased large portion of real estate at Octre Point, owned by the heirs of the late Will liam Beach Lawrence, and erected large and costly villa and for two years so he had been experimenting the erection of a granite villa for his son, J. J. Van Allen, who is son-in-law of William Astor, of New York. The son has been abroad for some time but returned about two months ago and rented the Breeze cottage. The villa of the deceased is occupied this season by MT. E. D. Stokes of New York, who pays $4, COG rent. Deceased never showed any signs of mental derangement and his friends are una
 ble to account for his rash act.
 NEWPORT, R. l., July 26.-No one it seems had any intimation that General Van Allen intended or desired to sell the property here which he rented to MT. Stokes, so to-day when, upon learning of the death of General Van Allen, the lease was filed in the City Hall, it was with genuine astonishment that his friends found appended an agreement te sell. This agreement promised that Genera | Van Allen would at any time up to Novem

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The Senate Com mittee on Appropriations has increased by several millions the Notifications bill as passed by the House. As reported by the Senate committee today the bill appropriates $50, ,00o to continue the seawau around Gov ernor's Island. The section appropriating $50, ,OOO for the armament of seacoast fortifi- cations is stricken out and clause inserted appropriating $4OO,000 for the purchase, m manufacture and erection of the necessary tools and machinery for finishing and assem- bling of heavy ordnance at the Frankford arsenal for gun carriages, for the trial and proof of such ordnance, etc.; $60, 900 or so much thereof as may be necessary are sppro- priated to enable the Secretary of War to con- tract with the South Boston iron works for the construction of ten twelve-inch rifed cast iron mortars. Another new section is added to the bill appropriating $6,000, ,000 to be avail able during six years from the execution of contract by the Secretaries of War and the Navy jointly for the supply of rough-bored, rough turned and tempered steels in suitable form for heavy ordnance for army and naval purposes; all the forgings to be of American product, and one-half of the material to be for the use of the War department and one half for the use ot the Navy department iI the armament of ships hereafter or heretofore authorized by Congress. The latter clause is in substantial accord with the recommends tion of the Hawley select committee.

A PRIEST ANDH1 OLD LOVE.
Rev. Father Sherman of Brooklyn
 Weeds Pretty TiIIie McCoy.


 Weeds Pretty TiIlie Mccoy. NEW YORK, July 26.-Rev. William J. Sherman, Catholic priest attached to the Church of the Visitation at Vernon and Richards streets, South Brooklyn, and Miss Tillie Mccoy, of No. 12 Douglas street, were made man and wife on the night of June 14 last by Rev. E. s. Schneider, an Episcopal clergyman, at his residence, No. 91 Second avenue, this city. Rev. Father Sherman was ordained three years ago. He was then twenty-four years old. He is the son of Michael Sherman, a wealthy contaoctor who lives at No. 165 Warren street Brooklyn. He had been an ardent lover of blue eyed Tillie Mccoy and had asked her to marry him several years ago, but although she reciprocated his affection, she refused to marry him when he proposed to her. She said he was too wild. The girl was singer in the choir at St. Paul's church on Court street, Brooklyn. Sherman pressed his suit, but to no purpose. Then he gratifed his parents wishes and announced that he would study for the priesthood. He studied hard and in 1883 was ordained and establish ed at the Visitation church where he soon became very popular.
 lille Mccoy grew more beautiful and had many suitors, but she dismissed them all The priest and she frequently met and were seen walking through the streets together very often. Nothing was thought of this, however, until four weeks ago when Father Sherman left the city for three weeks va- cation. Then scandal mongers began to talk and it was openly said that Father Sherman had broken his VOWS and married the girl. It was true. Father Sherman begged Tillie to become his wife The girl was frightened at the thought, and tried to persuade him not to desert the church, but her pleadings were half-hearted and she gave way to the wish of her heart and consented. On Monday, June IA, they crossed the ferry to this city, accompanied by two young friends A coach was secured at the Battery and they drove to Rev. Mr. Schneider's house. He was in bed at the time, but rose and performed the marriage ceremony. The bride return ed to her home and the bridegroom went back to his church, where he continued to perform the duties of a priest The secret soon came to the ears of the mother of the priest, who began to inves- tigate. Her son denied the story, and con- tinued in his church works until four weeks ago, when he went away and his wife went with him. It is supposed that MT. and Mrs. Sherman have gone to Boston, where he ex- pected to be employed clerk.

Ht Wfu Take Months.

A New Haven man writes: The strike at the Mott iron ssworks, just ended, the mer returning to work yesterday, is interesting ir these times of labor troubles. There were 300 moulders who struck and the strike took out 300 others, ,-laborers, helpers and pud dlers. MT. Mott agreed to pay the ten pel cent. increase in wages, but resisted the de- mand that only union men should work in the shop. He said he would never discharge man in his employ because he was a mem, Der of union, or agree to hire him because he was a member of union. The workmen yielded this point. The strike has cost them S35, 900 in wages, and the shopkeepers in the neighborhood seriously felt the effect Aver aging the wages at $15 a week for 600 men it will take about nine months of the ter per cent increase to make up the cost of the strike.
