Peach Trees Suffering From "YelIOws"

A disease that has become prevalent in
peach orchards in recent years, is what is
known as "yellows." 1t derives it's name
from the fact that after the tree is attacked.
the leaves turn saffron hue, and gradually
fnIl off until the tree is left barren.
Great care must be exercised by farmers at

spread rapidly if uot attended TO.
The Peach Commissioners have been active

DepIora BILE situation of Affairs In the
ConnellsvilIe Coke Extraordinarily
ana Violence Among the Hnngarians
Men and Women dubbed and Some
Killed.
P1rrsBURa, August 20.-The Times to-
morrow will publish the result of an investi-
cation, by staff correspondent, of the de-
plorable situation of affairs in the Connells-
vile coke regions. The reports that have
been sent in from the coke country of the
ravages of the Hungarians are bad enough
to rouse the most phlegmatic citizen.
but the actual condition of affairs
is almost beyond description. Anarchy is
uppermost in the minds of the Huns who
have been melted to lawlessness and deeds of
violence by the ringleaders, Jacob Otto and
Christ Body, two confirmed red flag and blood
anarchists, who were discharged from the
mines because of their snarchistic tendencies.
They have gone through the region,
Joining with unrestful spirits and plant
ing seeds of violence among the Huns.
What they want is pillage and plumber
and general drunken jubilee. Valuable
property has been wattonly destroyed and
peaceable citizens have been subjected to
personal injury and abuse. Women have
been threatened aud men have been dubbed
into insensibility, some killed outright and
others disabled for life.
The inhabitants of Mutual have been fire.
quently threatened and on several occasions
have fed to the hillsides for shelter. The
reason for their present comparative safety
lies in the fact, which has become known to
the marauders, that every man in the village
has supplied himself with Winchester rifles
and revolvers, and the streets are patroled
nightly. The citizens are determined to pro-
tect themselves and their families. Petitions
are in circulation, asking the governor to
provide help and relief. Everybody is alive
to the situation, and unite in demanding
the removal of this lawless element from the
coke region.
A Greensburgh despatch says: The hear
ing of the Hungarian cases was concluded
to-day at noon. OF the twenty-three held
over from yesterday, eight were discharged
and fifteen held for court, one of whom en-
tered bail in the sum of $500 and was releas-
ed. The other fourteen, it is thought, will
secure the necessary bail tomorrow.

A High Mason Of New York Resigns-
Many More ResiRnations Looked
For.
NEW York, Aug. 20.-Masonic circles
were greatly agitated to-day by the resigna-
ton of Past M. Or. Commander William 81.
Peckham, SD degree, from membership in
Cerneau Consistory No. 1, Bad degree, this
city, thus severing his connection with Scot
fish rite Masonry. This action adds new in
terest to the bitter feud between the adher-
ents of Albert Pike and those of Ferdinand
Gorgas. Every adherent of the latter is, by
recent Masonic proclamation, in danger of
expulsion from the blue lodge of Masous, and
the resignation of Mr.. Peckhsm will, 1t is
said, by prominent Masons, be followed by
many others.
Mr.. Peckham's resignation, as he states in
an open letter addressed "to the Masonic
fraternity throughout the world" is because
OF the utilization of the supreme council
Of the body with the Grand Orient of
France, which does not recognize the
existence of q personal God, whereas
Mr.. Peckham states such recognition is the
very corner stone of true masonry. Mr..
Peckham has been Mason forty years. The
utilization referred to consisted in Mr. Gorgas
visiting and meeting with the council of the
order of the Grand Orient while on visit to
Paris in 1888. This council, it has been
claimed, ia distinct body from that of the
Grand Orient, but Mr.. Peckham gives the
names Of the members of the Grand Orient,
and shows that the council is made up from
them, consequently, he says, the council was
under the ban of non-Masonio intercourse.
In view of these facts he feels constrained to
sever his connection with Scottish rite Ma

A FINE RACE TRACK.
Morris Park, New York, Opene

Morris Park, New York, opened.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.--"Morris Park" as
it will be commonly called, in contradistino
ton to Jerome and Monmouth park race
tracks, was regularly opened as race course
to-day. It is the property of Mr.. John Nor
ris, who has associated with him in Its man
agement the New York Jockey club. The
grounds and track are located in Westcheste1
county, short distance from Van Ness
station on the Harlem branch of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, ani
are partly within the city limits.
The new course has the finest buildings
and arrangements of any in the world. Ar
idea of its completeness may be gained from
the fact that its sub-drainage costs quartz,
of million dollars. Its grand stand is the
largest and most complete of any in the
world, and all Its appurtenances are in the
highest degree the best results of modern I'M
provement.
The track has both elliptical and straight
away tracks, and it is believed that they will
be, when properly settled and conditioned
the fastest in America.
The opening of this track marks new ere
in racing in this vicinity. No charge will be
made for racing programmes, the infield is
free to the public and all refreshments will
be served at city prices.
