What the Canning Business il DoanR.
A correspondent of Elllcols City writ.
ing % the Baltimore AmerSc1n says: The
erection Of extensive canning houses
along the Washington Branch Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has almost
revoIutIouized the farming industry OF
the adjacent portion 81 Howard and
Anne Aruudel counties. Many farmers
who formerly raised enough peas and
tomatoes FOR table use nov plant acres OF
these vegetables annually, and find 9
ready market Tor them az remunerative
figures. The whole crop Is often sold
before II Is ieady for market. and not in-
frequently as soon a. Il Is planted. The
large crops Of tomatoes planted this year
have had favorable season. and are in .
thriving condition. giving the promise OF
an abundant yield. The partial failure Of
the peach crop 10 the State, and It's almost
total failure in the lower section OF
Howard aud portions Of Anne Arundel,
will cause an increased demand for to,
matoes by the canning house owners, and
this will undoubtedly result 10 higher
prices for this vegetable than the farmers
had expected earlier IL the season. -

knowledge Of the crime was obtained by
a neighbor's family hearing some one
burst into their kitchen. II was Mrs.
Byrne, who fell bleeding on the floor.
She was nearly dead, but managed to
! gasp: "John Smith did it; he tried to
rob me-" She was taken to the hospital
and on the way stated to the officer that
1t was ''Brocky" Smith, "Brocky" being
the name given to the John Smith she
had named as the murderer. She was
dead when the wagon reached the hos
pital Her wounds were dozen in num-
Der and were made by knife II
John or "Brocky" Smith, who lived
in house in front Of Mrs. Bryne's cot
tage, was arrested in bed. Blood was

Wilson, Of this city, Is lying very III
from the effects OF dose Of sulphate Of
atropia, which he tpokin place ofTmor-

with suicidal intent is yet TO be de-
termined, as he has been addicted to the
morphine habit, and had previously
threatened to end his life. Wilson was
taken TO the Athens asylum about h
year ago, but was sent home fivemonths
ago apparently cured. A short time
after arriving here he again began using
both opium and morphine worse than
ever, and was heard TO remark that he
would kill himself rather than return
to the asylum. The doctors regard his
case as critical, and the chances for re-
coyery are against him.

ANOTHER FIRE.
The East Sedalia HOtel Badly
ScOrched Last Night.

The East Sedalia House, at the cor.
ner of Engineer and Third street, was
discovered on fire about 2 clock this
morning and the greater part of the
roof and inside of the northern half of
the building was destroyed. 1t caught
from defective fue and the northern
half of the roof was blazing furiously
when it was discovered by
the watchmen at the round house and
Officer James Gossage at the same
moment. As nobody was stirring at
the hotel Gossage concluded that the
inmates did not know of the fire and
he aroused them. Pierson was Sleep
ing sOundly not ten feet from a
blszing partition and just barely
had time to grab his clothes
and get out of the room.
The fronthalf of the building is owned
by Mrs. Joe McVey and the north
half by her mother, Ms. Nancy
Harvey. Mrs. McVey had $500 in.
surance in one of s. P. Espenschild's
companies and Mrs. Harvey $500 In
Porter VsnRiper & Huffman's agency.
1t was occupied by w. F. Pierson as
hotel and lunch room. He had
$500 insurance in the EspenchiId
agency. The insurance will fully
cover the loss Of all parties.
There were several funny incidents
during the fire. Although it occurred
at such an early hour in the morning,
a large crowd gathered about it. One
of the guests of the hotel dressed SO
hastily that he overlooked his shirt
and returned to get it, When he at
tempted to come out sgain he found
himself tcut of by the flames
on the stairway. He finally succeeded
in reaching second story window
and frantically begged to be taken |
out. He could hardly wait for the |
firemen to get ladder. They finally |
found ladder and took him out, but |
be was frightened half to death. The
caught fire about three
months ago and the front part was
badly damaged.
