Che Fruit Industry to be Developed by Can
ming Factory,
Correspondence of the Gazette.
MILLS, Ten. Feb Is Farming Oper-
ations have been retarded in this section
BY wet weather. The heaviest rain
known for many years fell here last Fri
day night. The creeks were swollen TO
height seldom, if ever, reached before,
considerable damage being done to bot
tom and low land farms. Considerable
fencing was swept away and lands were
badly washed. Luckily very little plOw-
ing had been done, for the ground that
had been broken is now in a worse con-
dition than that uubroken Oats are be-
ginning to peep up and look very well.
A considerable uorther sprung mp last
night The mild winter has been of in
estimable advantage to the people of this
section Very little feeding has been
necessary so far, and stock is III good
condition.
The people of Freestone are highly
elated over the establishment of can
ming company at Mexia (heT nearest
railroad town. This is one of the finest
fruit-growing countries in the state
and also equally adopted to the
production OF vegetables of all kinds.
The fruit industry has been considerably
neglected on account of poor remunera-
ton aud Inconvenience to market, but
should this company be successful we
bespeak for this section q development of
the fruit industry unequalled IN any por-
ton Of the state. Thousands of bushels
Of good peaches yearly rot upon the
ground and are of no benefit whatever to
the raiser which If sold at % cents per
bushel would bring many dollars into
the county and help the people
to keep out Of debt, coming in at time
when money is scarcer than any other
season OF the year. With the Air Line
railroad now to cut down freight rates
and bring about composition, this county
would soon be recognized rs the garden
spot of Texas with no angel with flaming
sword to guard its portals

merits of North Tarrant and South Den
ton counties are now under their con-
sideration. A newspaper company Is
proposed. The need of this necessary aid
and the gratifying result of the canvass
made places it upon a pretty certain
footing to be the first organized and put
in operation. Then there will be other
movements to follow in the order of such
demands as are the natural outgr1wth Of
enterprising merchants and farmers
Roanoke is, in short, preparing herself

OFFICE OF THE GAZETTE.
FORT WORTH. TEX. Feb. 20. 1899.
The weather continues clear and the
atmosphere sharp and crisp, though the
temperature is somewhat milder. Trade
in all lines to-day has been good, and the
confidence of merchants, both wholesale
and retail, in improved conditions during
the coming spring and summer is strong.
Country produce has been coming in
quite freely, but the supply is by no
means in excess of the demand, and
prices are firm at the figures quoted be-
low.
Cotton and wheat evidence no change,
the receipts Of both being light, with
prices as heretofore quoted.
For all commodities lat the close of the
market to-day, the prices quoted were
as are given below:
Representative Baker of Illinois pre-
scented in the house petition asking that
steps be taken to set forth at the Paris
exposition the value of the corn crop of
the United States. The petition bristles
with statistics and says: Our corn crop
just gathered never before yielded such
bOuntiful harvest. Nearly two billions
of bushels were raised on 70 ,567 ,27G acres
of the finest land in The world, which will
bring us in nearly 500 600 600.
The train that would be required to
bring this immense yield to tho seaboard
would be 3, ZOO 900 cars, loaded with G62
bushels each. and nearly 80 900 locomo-
tives, and would reach more than around
the world So heavily loaded train trav-
els slowly, and would require whole
year to pass through Chicago. iowa Is
the banner state for corn, last year hav-
ing raised 32l ,G29 1862 bushels of the
commercial value of S73 ,974 ,S9l. This
is almost equal to the value of all the
gold, silver and lead mined in the United
States in 1886. 1t is almost larger sum
than all the railroads in the United
States paid in dividends on stock in that
year It is SIS 900 200 more than the to-
tai net earnings of all the national banks
in America. 1t gives to every man,
woman and child in the state, after re-
serving seed for ZOO 900 acres, nearly
six tons of corn.
Referring to the general condition of
trade Bradstreet S of the 10th inst. has
this to say Of sugar: 1.-The Louisiana re-
fined sugar product having been about
closed out, domestic refiners elsewhere
have become more hopeful as to the po-
sition of and outlook for refined. A
fair aggregate trade left the price steady,
with some grades 5sc. under last
week. Raw sugar is firmer, and has
moved in larger volume. Fair refining is
up Lice. Coffee has been irregular, and
dealers have moved with extreme eau
tion in buying supplies. Notwithstanding
persistent reports of a short Brazilian
crop the visible supply in that country
continues TO increase, and the movement
from first hands is quite free. 1t is be-
lieved that Rio and Santos stocks have
been understated.

CASES FOR THE coRoNERs.
A Man Drowned In Richmond; One
Found Dead I'm Henrico.

The body of Walter Hatcher, who was
drowned in the dock Saturday night. was
recovered yesterday morning 10y John
Camp.
Deceased who was forty years of age,
had been in the habit of fishing IN the
dock at night. lie usually lett home about
/ 10 o'clock, returning about midnight.
Saturday night he left home with his
net, snd not returning, his friends Sunday
morning started out TO look for him. The
net was found on the wharf at the foot OF
Nineteenth street. and his hat was seen
floating in the water.
The dock was dragged and the body was
! found in the water below Twentieth street;
Coroner TAYLOR viewed the remains, and
in the absence of marks Of violence on the
| body decided that it was case OF acci-
dental drowning.
1t is supposed that Hatcher while asleep
| fell of the wharf.
FOUSD DEAD At SEVEN PINES.
The BODY Of a white man named Will
| liam Stewart was found Sunday morning
near the back porch of James Lyne's store,
at Seven Pines.
Squire Vincent was notified and he had a
| iurv Of inquest summoned, which, after

dentally falling from the porch of James
/ Lyne's house"
| Deceased was about sixty years of age,
and for some time had been of irregular
| habits. He was a resident of Union Hill:
The supposition is that MIR. Stewart had
| been drinking and started down she steps
and fell, as he was found suspended over n
railing with the head downwards. Death
was caused from exposure and a rush of
| blood 10 the head The remains were
| brought 10 Richmond and turned over TO

Main street Almost ImpassabIe.

Main street between Twelfth and lhr-
teenth was probably in a worse condition
Yesterday than ever before known IN the
history of our city. The street-car track
on the north side was torn up, rendering
that portion useless, and the other half
was obstructed with piles of stone. wood
and other rubbish left there by the con-
tractor. There was hardly room for one
vehicle to pass another, and numerous
times during the day the street was block
AIDED the line OF wagons and carriages in
many instances being nearly a square long.
Abont half-past / O'clock q mllk-wagon
was nnset near Thirteenth street 10y one OF
the many piles of rubbish. 4 man and
small boy who were IN II at the time sue;
ceed in climbing out at the side. Beyond
the breakace Of few jars and the loss OF
several quarts of milk no damage was sus-
tanned.
The city authorities should not allow the
street 10 be obstructcd further than is ab-
solutely necessary, and then not for any
lenrth of time.

RlcHMoNp,s NEW BISHOP.
Rev. a. Van de vyver TO BE Consecrated
October Goth.

The Baltimore Sun Of Yesterday says:
"The papal bulls of the appointment OF
Rev. A. Van de Nyver Bishop of Richmond,
with the authority for his conservation To-
that dignity. were received by Cardinal
Gibbons. The new bishop will be cOnse-
Grated at Richmond. Va. ON Sunday, Octo-
ber 20th, by the Cardinal, assisted by seye-
raj bishops. The Bishop-olect Is now the
guest Of the Cardinal. The two prelatcs
we're in the retreat Of the clergy, which
was concluded Saturday morning at st.
Mary's Seminary"
A Disproh reporter called at the Epls-
copal residence last night, but was In
formed that Bishop-eloct Van de NyyeI
was still in Baltimore. He Will return q
Richmond this evening.
Father Tinery said he was not advised as
70 the arrangements for the conservation,
and III fact he did not think they had been
arranged as yet. When he separated from
Father Van de Vyver in Washington on
Saturday the date for the ceremony had
not been decided upon.
The papal bulls reached Baltimore on
Sunday week last. and perhaps the reason
why the matter has been kept so quiet Is
that not until few days ago. when very
