which Branch of Fruit Growing Pays Besss


Fruit Grower.
We are often asked this question, but it is one
that we can seldom answer to our satisfaction, as
so much depends upon the locality nature of the
soil, climate and the surrounding market. Usu-
ally it is best not to confne yourself to one
branch entirely, but to plant both large and
small fruits We have known inexperienced
men to begin fruit-growing by planting one hun
dred acres of pears and nothing else, or fifty
acres of grapevines, or large fields of strawber-
ries. These people often come to grief. How
much better it would have been if they had di-
yided their planting among numerous species
Fruit trees, plants and vines are liable
to occasional failure, the same as any
thing else in this world is liable to fail
Therefore, if one has planted variety Of
fruits the failure of one several does not cause
him serious loss, and he continues from year to
year to receive an average income. Aside from
this, If he plants large acreage of speciality
he Is obliged to harvest and market his specially
in haste, at certain date; whereas, if it was d.
vlded into numerous species, the time of harvest
ing and marketing would be extended over
long period, and could be done with much less
expense and danger from storms and other con-
tingencies.
Usually the drift of such inquiries is to learn
whether small fruits or largea are most profit able
There is much in favor of small fruits: they can
be made to bring in revenue sooner than large
fruits, therefore most fruit-growers begin
fruit-growing by planting strawberries,
raspberrles. and black berries, grapes,
and currants They plant at the
same time orchards of pears, apples, peaches
and ounces, depending upon the early grapes
strawberries and other small fruits to tide along
the way until the large fruits get into bearing.
Then they have an opportunity of testing
thoroughly whether large or small fruits pay
best in their locality and on their soil. Thus, if
they find the market for small fruit in excess of
the supply, they can gradually diminish that de-
partment, and devote their attention to large
fruits. This is the proper way to begin fruit
growing. Orchards of large fruits require years
for their maturity, and it is matter of specula-
tion somewhat, as to what the outcome will be-
and yet we have every assurance that they will
prove profitable. but how profitable no one can
gay. In planting small fruits we have but a
short period to look forward to. and we can de-
eide with some certainty regarding the demand

Russian Prisons Overlooking.

LONDON, October 23.-Reliable reports
describe the condition OF Southern Russians
deplorable in the extreme. Discomfort Is
universal, the Nihilist propaganda is in q
more active and fourishing state than
ever before, the prisons, especially those at
Nico laieff, Odessa and Eksterinoslay, are
filled to overflowing and the proportion Of
officers and students comprising those who
are confined in the prisons and those who
are under police surveillance il a source Of
great alarm TO authorities. This years har-
vest in Southern Russia has been unusually
abundant, but the high German duties con-
sequent to the war tariffs which have never
been reduced absorbs the profits which
might otherwise be realized on the crops
and the value Of the land IL therefore d.
minished year by year. Land owners are
selling out at ruinous sacrifice and Moscow
merchants declare that commerce Is at a
complete standstill. The scarcity and In
many places the entire absence of banking
institutions Of any kind combine TO COM
plicate matters, and tha near future prom
ises no improvement

CHARLESTON, s. c., October 23.-Dis-
patches received at q. N. reported the
damageat Summervine by the shock yes
terday afternoon greater than at first stated.
Seyenty-6ye ehimneys will have to come
down. A number of Geysers have been
discovered where an oily water
spOuts up continuously. The water
has an odor similar to kero-
sene oil, and is accompanied by fine sand
Of different eOlors. The people Of the
town are thoroughly worked up again,
and great uneasineSS Is felt by all. The
duration of the shock is estimated at from
twenty to thirty seconds, and the force so
great that persons found il exceedingly
difficult to open the doors or get out of
their houses TO q safer locality, and some
cases are reported where persons were
thrown down by the shaking.
There was slight shock in Summer
vile and Charleston at 11:55 last night.
There was no damage done.
The development of geysers at Summer
vile by yesterdays shoe IS is eorroborated,
bat the kerosene oil found in the wafer is
explained by the fact that refuse from
craOsoting oil factory had beee emptied
into ting drains in which the geysers ap-
peared. The water did not spout up very
high from most of the geyserS but it is re-
ported that water was thrown up fully
twelve feet from one of them near Ashley
river. The water is rs cold as ice and as
clear as crystOl. No new disturbances
have required there to-day.

DIR. Persons Resolution. .
PITTsBURG, Pa, October 23.-At the
morning session of the State Presbyterian
Synod at the Central Presbyterian Church,
Allegheny, to-day, speeches were made by
Rev. s Cunningham, Harper, Pierson, Col
felt and Edgar, deploring the doctrinal
innovations at the Andover Seminary. The
Committee on overtures recommend
ed the passage Of de-
claration in place of the resolutions
introduced yesterday by Rev. W. Pierson
of Philadelphia and it was accepted unan-
imOusly with applause. The declaration
states that in view of the serious depart
ure in certain quarters from some of the
doctrines, this synod takes occasion to re-
assert its unshaken adherence to what it
believes to be the teachings of the Word Of
God, as explicitly set forth in
the Westminster standard especially in
relationship to the final state of the i'm
penitent wicked. Current speculations
about probation after death is regarded
as non-Scriptural, and non-Chrlstian. A
profounder study of the word of
God and a more earnest preach
ing of its plain truths
leaving to God himself to vindicate his
ways and to eternity the fuller unfolding
of the mysteries of his providence and grace
is commended.
The request of the Shenango Presbytery
that the synod be divided received adverse
action. The afternoon session was devoted
to reports of cimmittees and routine busi-
ness and in the evening popular temper
ance meeting was held.

Thousand.
The INHABITANTS PANIC STRICKEN.

PENNINGTON, Me, October o.
Friday afternoon Sandy River railroad
men, working on the side of the track, dis
covered fire in the barn of ]. B. Stovell.
The fire was supposed to be extinguished
at o'clock, but the wind had taken
sparks to different points, seven different
roofs being on fire at one time, and in a
few moments Albert Storley's build
ng and WilIsW Tarbox's were ablaze
and Huntress & Boardman's buildings
next caught and were destroyed, At the
same time the large Cragin house on
Pleasant street was burned. The fire
stopped here in its northward movement
and leaped across the street to the county
jail. The prisoners were turned loose
From the Jail the fire was communicated
to the hotel Marble. 1t was now nearly
midnight and the panic was widespread.
The entire village seemed to be on fire.
While these fires to the north Of the hotel
Marble were raging

At the same time on Broadway the post
Office. Perkins block, Arcade block and
Stovell's residence were swept away, and
simultaneously the old county building on
Main street was burned Then fell five
brick stores. The Exchange Hotel on
Main street next caught and was soon
swept out of sight. Up to this
point the fire had been confined 10
the west of Main street.
Here it leaped over to the East Main street
and upon the steeple of the Baptist Church
a tongue of flame was seen, most heroic
effort was made to save this editice. Fifty
young ladies from the Normal School
formed bucket brigade, and did their
best to save the church, but the fire was
again the victor. 1t was now about 2:30
q. IN, and the fire had about spent itself on
the north, but continued for sometime to
burn fiercely on the south.
THE LOSSES.
The following buildings were burned:
Thirty-two dwelling houses, nineteen
stores, three churches and two newspaper
offices. The loss is estimated at $500, 600.
The insurance is small. For instance the
Baptist Church was not insured at all.
The Congregational Church and Parsonage
are insured. The Methodist Church is in
sured to some extent. Hon. Fred c. Per
kins loses $4,000 with not
cent insurance. A prominent business
man estimates the thirty-three dwelling
houses destroyed to have had an average
value of g, 900 each, or an aggregate of
S65, 900. Much of this will prove a total
loss. The nineteen stores burned were
worth 5000 each, or $4,000. The
three churches destroyed were valued at
$50, 900, and were insured for not more
than one-third of that amount. The
Pennington Journal Publishing Company
will lose from S25, ZOO to $4,000. in
sured. The Chronicle loses an elegantly
equipped new building and machinery and
type, the total loss amounting to SIS, 200.

COL CRESAP's DEATH.
A Brief Sketch of His Life and Public Ser


A Brief Sketch of His Life and Public Ser
vices.
We are panied to announce the sudden
death of Hon. c. J.P Cresap, Of Randolph
county, who died at his home in Beverly
Thursday morning at 6 O'Clock, of paraly-
sis. His serious illness was noted few
days ago in the REGISTER, but hopes of his
recovery were then entertained.
Col. Cresap was born and raised in Pres
ton county, w. Va, his father being Hon.
Gus Cresap, prominent lawyer of that
county, who died recently He was a
lineal descendant of Col. CreSap, of Indian
fame. When the late civil war began. Col.
Cresap went South, joining the Confederate
army, in which he served during the war
except the time he was member Of the
convention that passed the ordinance Of
secession, and once or twice afterwards
in the Virginia Legislature. When
the war closed he settled in
Beverly and began the practice of law
which he continued till his death. He
was prominent member of the Legisla-
ture of 1881 and 1882.
He has been prominent member Of the
Democratic party since its reorganization
after the war, and was always present in
its conventions from the local primary up
to the great National gatherings of that
party. He was true to his friends and a
strong opponent when he was resisted.
He was generous, whole-souled and hber-
al. There were few men who had more
personal friends and acquaintance in the
State. He leaves a wife and an adopted
daughter to mourn their loss. He was
about As years Of age. His many friends
throughout the State will learn Of his de-
mise with true sorrow. May he rest
sweetly since life's turmoil and diSap-
pointments are over.
