TOBACCO AND HOPS.
Practical Experiments by Jos.

Practical Experiments by Jos.
epfa OlcOvich.
Joseph Olcovich, who has lived a
quarter OF a century in Nevada, and
is a practical developer, told an Az
PEAL reporter yesterday of the ex-
periments he had made with to-
bacco and hops in Nevada soil.
"Nevada is the natural soil for
hops. planted hops here eight
cen years ago, and only irrigated
the first year. They grow rank and
strong as ever, and produce inn
mensely. The roots penetrate
twelve or fifteen feet to water, and
need no attention whatever. There
is nothing so speculative in the crop
line as hops. They are now worth
about eighteen cents pound, but
are liable anytime to jump to 80
cents pound, and even 60 to 81 .25.
There is a sure fortune in hops.
They are always saleable, and ten
acres of hops will make any man
rich.
"Then, there is tobacco. 1 have
grown tobacco in my back yard four
feet high. 1t is far superior to Cal
ifornia tobacco; just as far superior
as Nevada hops are better than Cal
ifornia hops. A California tobacco
leaf is almost tasteless. This State
will some day be a great hop and
tobacco State. All we need is for
people to make up their minds to
live here and make their final home
here. The other day 1 heard
man say: III l were going to live
here I would improve my place.
He had lived here nearly twenty
years and made fortune here,
Also"

Clayton a Lawyer.

Yesterdays APPEAL contained q
sketch of Hal Clayton, who lived in
this county years ago, and he was
set down as a gambler by profess
ion. The writer has since learned
that he was a member OF the ban
with an extensive practice. The
old citizen who gave the APPEAL the
item, when spoken to yesterday
relative to the item said:
"Of course, / knowd he was q
lawyer; s'posed you did. But he
had awful nerve at cards, and that's
where he shone. He was the
heaviest legal card sharp in the
State"

The report of the Geological Sur
vey Just published, shows that the
production of minerals in the United
States, reached last year the enor-
nous value of $465, 10000 the
largest yet recorded in every coun-
try, and about $45, 100000 greater
than the year previous.
It is asserted this morning on
good authority that on the le-as-
sembling of Congress the President
will send in a special message,
recommending the repeal of the to-
bacco tax. Such an act will reduce
the revenue about $50, O0O, 900, and
will not be seriously antagoDized.
We have had as visitors this
week about 800 school teachers
from New York and Brooklyn, who
have made tour of the city and its
public buildings, and express them
selves as highly pleased with the
visit.
Congress meets again next Wed
nesday, from and after which time,
until July at least, we may antici-
pate lively times. Everything goes
to show q fierce and bitter contest
between the two great parties.

FEARFUL CRASH IN BROOKLYN. Part of the Elevated Railroad Falls Through q Horse Car - Three Men Killed Outright and over a Dozen In- jured.
 BROOKLYN, Feb. 14.-A portion of the Union elevated railroad in process of erection on Broadway fell this morning near the juno ton of Broadway and Summer avenue, killing three men, fatally injuring one or two others and hurting dezen others. A Reid avenue horse car was partly demolished, butchers cart was wrecked and four horses were kill ed. The accident seems to have been caused by gross carelessness the part of those who were building tue road and John Schae- fer, the assistant foreman in charge of opera tions at the fatal point was arrested. Two huge derricks were hoisting heavy iron gird- CTS into place when the stringers of the struc- ture, evidently insecurely fastened, ,unscrewed and let four girders, a construction car, the derrick, the boiler and engine, 8 quantity of plank and tools and eight men fall into the street. The crash was tremendous and the air was filled with flying splinters and stones. A Reid avenue horse car that had just driven under the totte1ing structure was partly crushed
 
 partly filled with passengers, several of whom were hurt. Thomas Thompson, the driver, had heard a warning cry and tried unsuccessfully to drive out of danger. A heavy string piece struck him, nearly sever ing his head from the body and disembowel- ling him. Several of the elevated railroad men were buried in the ruins and the shrieks and groans of the wounded were heard. F. Fink's meat cart that had been driven up to the curb was reduced to kindling wood and the horse mangled. Louis Roedach, the driver, had just stepped into a store and was safe. The fire alarm was promptly sounded and annbulances were summoned The police kept back the great crowd that soon gath cred and the work of taking out the bodies began. The fire laddies threw aside pipe and hose, but worked like heroes with axes and picks, and crowbars and screw jacks, too. Driver Thompson's body was re- moved in pieces after the heavy iron stringer had been jacked. Charles Kirschner, an em- ploye of the '" L " road, was the next body removed. He was badly mangled. Soon after Patrick Clark, also an employe of the IL" road, was taken out terribly crushed. They were all covered with blankets, placed in an ambulance and taken to the thirteenth pre- cinct station.
 The killed and badly wounded were as fol- 1ows Dead-Thomas Thompson, 40 Decatur street, the car driver; Patrick Clark of New York, workman; Charles Kirschner of 1 1890 Fulton street, workman. Injured-Jacob Friel of 647 East Thirteenth street, New York, skull fractured and fatally injured; Jacob Bender, workman, broken thigh and compound fracture of the leg; Thomas J. Cassidy of BIT Eighth street, New York, leg fractured; John Duane of BOA East Eighth street, New York, shoulder dislocated.

THE sTRIKEI IN THE sCHUYLK1LL
Practically over And All Hut one Col
 fiery In Operation.

FREMONT, Pa., Feb. 14.-All the collieIies in the western Schuylkill district are in full operation except Middle Creek and the strike is practically over. Lincoln colliery near this borough started up with large force and the shipments from that colliery and Brookside will soon equal the extraordinary output of last December. The miners em- ployed at Brookside are mostly non-union men. The women still take lively interest in the strike. At dancing school the girls resolved to remain away until the "scabs" were put out of the building. They even re- fused to dance if they remained. The ladies have inaugurated what they term ''girlcott" on the "scabs'' and boycott on the farmers from Higgins who furnish the eatables to the non-union men.
 SHAMoK1N, Pa Feb. 14.-Over one hundred and seventy miners went to work at the Reading company's Henry Clay shaft this morning. This colliery ships the most coal in the Northumberland coal region. It is claimed, however, by the local strike leaders that the men entered the mine to ''square up breasts" which means they were putting their positions in shape to quit that mine permanently. The indications are that by to-norrow all the collieries about this city will be in operation

UNITED STATES PRISONERS

Must be Supported as They Cannot
 Work at Contract Labor.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-The Secretary of the Treasury has submitted to the House es- inmates for a deficiency appropriation of $9O, ,000 for the support of United States prisoners during the fiscal year. In letter accompanying the communication Attorney General Garland says the condition of affairs which he predicted in his last report has oc- cured and the expense of supporting United States prisoners has steadily and largely in- creased year by year since 1885. The At torney General attributes this result to the passage of the bill forbidding the employ ment of such prisoners on contract labor. Many new arrangements and contracts with the various penitentiaries were made neces- sary during the past year for this reason, and while short time ago many institutions re- ceived and supported government prisoners without cost to the United States, there is not at the present time single institution which can be designated for the confinement of prisoners with one exception where per diem is not charged.

TO Refund the Direct Tax.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-After lively dis cussion to-day the House committee on the judiciary decided to report favorably the Senate bill to refund the direct tax, having amended it by striking out the paragraph which makes it unlawful for the Governor of the State to pay over upon the contracts made by agents and attorneys for the State any of the money paid to him in trust for the people of the State. Several members of the committee were desirous that the con- mittee should include in the bill provision for a cotton tax. This desire finally took the form of motion which was voted drawn by @ decided majority, but MT. Oates will in all probability present minority report on the subject.

The management dilly-dallied with Hartford for over week and finally it was decided to settle the matter last Monday noon. On Saturday one of the New Haven management went to Hartford and made an offer for Churchill. Manager Clough was inclined to hesitate, but the New Havener told him this offer would not hold good after Monday noon. The Bridgeport management staid at home Monday and let New Haven get in ahead. Now it is ques- ton as to whether they get even Pierce.
 Churchill is eligible to play tomorrow night. He will play center.

Ice Jams Which Are Making Trouble
 For Vessels.

HCO ~ xMb W HIGH AEb 1A AhAAA6 n
 For Vessels.
 RocKLAND, Me, Feb. 14.-The ice which closed up harbors in this section since Feb ruary 1 started to-day. In this harbor It's departure was the cause of much excitement. It started here about noon going out with the wind An immense field of ice occupying the space from Owls Head to Tillson's wharf twelve to eighteen inches thick started in 8 sheet and swung out in body, taking all of the fleet of vessels in winter quarters here that lay in it's wake. The schooners A. J. Bentley and Helen Montague were dragged to a dangerous position near the breakwater and the schooner Addie E. Snow was taken over the Middle Ground two miles to sea be- fore she could be reached. The revenue cut ter Woodbury, Captain Fenger, was fortu- nately in the harbor and steamed to the res- cue She broke out the A. J. Bentley and Montague first and putting her powerful nose into the sheet canted it clear of them. She then rescued the schooner Ann Eliza which met the outgoing ice as she was en- tering the harbor. By this time the schoon- CT Addie Snow was two miles to sea in the center of many acres of solid ice which ire qusnt rains and cold weather had made near- ly as hard as fresh water ice. So hard was CAC ASO OA6O tAS VOOA0uIJ WOu1A OoSh off several lengths, and although 8 powerful boat, could only cut into the sheet about forty feet. Hard and persistent work finally freed the imperilled schooner and she was lowed back to her moorings. Yesterday morning the Woodbury made boat flying the signal of distress two miles outside Mon roe's Island and ascertained that it contained four men of the crew of the schooner Oracle Young, Captain Whitman, bound to Rock land from the banks, twenty thousand pounds of halibut The men stated that the schoon- CT lay in very dangerous position and they had started at two o'clock for help. The cut ter steamed at once to the relief of the vessel and found her just inside Fisherman's Island surrounded by rocks and in most dangerous position. The least change of wind meant total wreck. The vessel had mainboom and windlass broken and was helpless. Since December 15 the Woodbury has assisted eighty-one vessels, saving many of them from total loss and has given information to numberless craft.

CANAAN, Feb. 14-Mary Spaulding, res- ident of Brush Hill, near Sheffield, Mass, came to this place Monday morning and bought two ounces of laudanum at Hum- phrey's drug store. Two hours later she was found in an unconscious condition at the sta tion. Medical aid was called and an effort made to resuscitate her, which was not suc- cessful. She died about 4 pm. It is sup posed that she took the drug with suicidal intent, as it is known that she was not a hsbitual user of it.
