The Rannahannock Shooting ARRAY

A letter from Culpeper gives an account
of the shooting affair which occurred at the
village of Sats Mills, R,ppahannock coun-
ty, about six o'clock Monday evening last,
mention of which was made in yesterday 3
GAZETTE. "The Popham family, composed
of Col. ]. II. Popham, Capt Thos. G. Pop
ham, James W. Popbam, John Nicholas
Pophpm and Capt. George Mallory were the
parties on the one side, and James Corbin
and number of his friends on the other.
Captain Popham, with double barreled
gun cooked, walked rapidly from his dwell
ling house into the main street of the vii
lage, where he encountered Corbn and two
companions Oh their way to church festi-
val, which was about fifty yards from the
place OF shooting. Corbin was armed, ii is
stated, with two pistols OF large calibre.
Popham fired, shattering one of Corbin's
legs and burying several slugs in the other.
Coebin fell to the ground. Popham's party
were Immediately behind him with drawn
pistols, while number of Corbin's friends,
anticipating trouble, were in close proximi
ty. Corbin cried for Captain Popham to
stop, while young Popham cried to
his uncle to shoot him again. Mean.
while some of Corbin's friends had
rushed to his aid, and Pophsm, for fear, as
he SAYS, of endangering their lives, refused
to fire the second time. Capt. Popham then
turned TO the crowd and cried out, He has
s!andered my family" No other explana-
ton was made. Popham's friends charge
that Corbn, who Is unfriendly to Captain
Popham, hired negro servant in the fami,
ly to start an injurious rumor concerning
one of his daughters, his object being TO re.
venge himself on her father. AT the con-
cuson of the affair Col. Popham, on behalf
of his brother, made some remarks in the
church where the festival was in progress,
apologizlng for the rude disturbance which
had come on their entertainment, and dl-
clarIng the shot fired by bis brother was In
sfepse Of the honor of his family.

wanted for use. When used reduce by ad-

the solution; apply with spray nozel syr-

A Geneva Vineyard.
Chuluota, Florida.

A correspondent OF the OV1edO ChrOn-
icIe writes as follows:
Grape culture in South Florida is excit-
ing so much interest that much is being
said and written on the subject, and while
the picture may be somewhat overdrawn
in some instances, the results with certain.
varieties are most gratifying. A number
of articles have been written at different
times in relative to Niagara Villa, near
Orlando, owned by Messrs. Haynes,
Young & Baily. These gentlemen claim
to be, and doubtless are, the pioneers in
grape culture in Orange county, il not in
South Florida. The Orange County Re
porter under date of June 9th, is out in
long article in relation to the vineyard
of the above named gentlemen. The
writer draws a graphic picture of whathe
saw on a recent visit to Niagara Villa.
While the enterprising owners Of Niagara
Villa were the first to break the icein this
(then dOubtfuD enterprise, they we're close
ly followed by several parties at Geneva.
Mr.. A. IL. Shipman going on a larger
scale than any of the others, he obtained
his first vines of Niagara White from
Niagara Villa, paying q high price for
them, but was not satisfied to risk one vari-
ETY. alone, and put out ahaIf dozen or more
different kinds, and the result so far,
shows that the Niagara is not likely to
lob r1o ho e,I< f,,,4 4I,o,
A few days ago we visited, in company
with several others, the packing house of
the Shipman vineyard. The grapes are
clipped from the vines and carried in
baskets to the packing house, where they
are carefully culled before packing for
shipment; they are then placed in well
ventilated baskets made of very light
materials, the baskets holding fvepounds
each. These baskets when filed are placed
in light crates, each crate holding six
baskets in layers of three each, the crates
being SO arranged that the toplayer does
not rest on the bottom one; the crate
when filed, of course, has thirty pounds
OF grapes.
The vines from which many of these
grapes were gathered we're set out in the
spring of 1888; the vines were only one
year old when planted, which makes them
now two years old, one year younger
than those at Niagara Villa. A number
of the lunches from these young vines
were weighed, the weight being from one
half to three-fourths of apound; there are
few vines of the Niagara in this vine
yard that are older fruiting for the first
time last year; the punches on these are
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-08-14

CIOD We uuuOI UDCU CIC CbNOIOSC
weight claimed for the Niagara is eight
to twelve ounces, but some of the punches
on these older vines will doubtless weigh
double that amount. We stated that it
would be shown that the Niagara White
had an equal if not superior, according
to the test made here Among the other
varieties in the vineyard is the Dutchess,
and this variety has fruited more prolific
than Niagaras of the same age; they have
ripened as early, being gathered and
! shipped at the same time, and are decid-
edly of much better flavor Then if it is
DIS early, more prolific, and of better fla
vor, it certainly has the advantage. The
Dutchess is a white grape, resembling in
appearance the Niagara, except that the
from the Shipman vineyard was on the
10Th of June, and another shipment of
$50 pounds, was made on the 2Sth. The
weather for ten days previous to the last
shipment was SO unfavorable it was
feared that many of the grapes would rot;
there was a heavy atmosphere, with fre-
quent showers and very lit tie sunshine, but
contrary to expectations, not rotten
grape was found Theculls and waste from
the $50 pounds did not exceed one gallon.
Ii the weather had been favorable for gath
ering, the last shipment of the Niagaras
and Dutchess would have been made about
July 1st, only about ten days from the
time of the first shipment. One would in
fer from the statement in the Reporter
that the grapes at Niagara Villa do not
ripen near so rapidly as they do here on
oUr high land, for he states that the pro-
prietors think they will get between four
and five thousand pounds; and in another
place the prOprietOrs say they think they
will get about 1900 pounds per day when
the vineyard is at it's BEST" and 800
pounds per day for ten days would only
be three thousand pounds. From these
statements it is apparent that the white
grape at Niagara Villa would require at
least twenty days to ripen the entire crop.
Mrs. Shipman gives her personal atten-
tion to culling and packing the grapes at
the Shipman vineyard, she having spent
two weeks last fall at the large packing
house of Mr. j. III. Lamoreaux at North
Hector, n Y, purposely to acquire a
thorough knowledge of the business. Mr..
LamoreauX owns a young vineyard of
three acres at Geneva. The acreage in
grapes at Geneva, so far as our knowledge
extends, exceeds that of any other place
in Orange county, if notinSouth Florida.
The Shipman vineyard has nine acres,
Mr. LamOreauX has three acres and Mr..
Demont, of Sanford, has three to five
acres, making total of fifteen to seven
teen acres. A few of Mr.. Lamoreauxs
vines fruited this year. In company with
Mr. Demont short time ago, we asked
him about his grapes; his reply was that
the result so far was satisfactory
We have not the least doubt that with
in a few years, many tons OF grapes will
be shipped from Geneva to the Northern
and Eastern markets, and will be put up
on the markets at a time when there will
be no competition from Northern grown
grapes.
