INVENTOR ERICSSON.
ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE
MEN OF THE CENTURY.

His Early Aptitude for Mechanics-His
Life, His Achievements and His Manner
of Living Down to the Time Of HIS
Death-The Monitor His Greatest Glory
In the history of the wonders accomplished
by the practical application OF the mechah'
ical arts during the Nineteenth century there
is no name connected with 30 many revolu-
tions ms that of the late John Ericsson. He
was born for the century and destined to be-
come part of it; indeed the century could
not have been honored in all its achievements
In the realm of practical science without him.
He began and ended his life in the work OF
applying power and ended it in the same
field. Living through period OF ~ years
his inventive genius was identified with the
triumphs which began with the locomotive
and in Ericsson's case ended with his sun
motor Beginning when he was 10 years to
construct machinery, he continued the work
through three-quarters Of century Fer
haps no man who has accomplished such re-
markable results in this field ever remained
in harness for so long period.
John Ericsson was born in Langbanshyt-
tan. province OF Wermeland, Sweden, in
1908. He was the son of mining proprietor,
and his brother--a colonel Of engineers--be-
came chief of the Swedish railways. Erics-
SOD as boy imbibed a love for machinery in
and about his fathers mines, where no had
ample opportunity to watch its workings. He
first studied at home under governcss and
afterwards under a German engineer officer.

Trouble In HaYSt.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Some excite
ment was manifested at the State and
Navy Departments today upon the re-
ceipt of cablegram from Commander
Kellogg at Hayti. Secretary Tracy i'm
mediately communicated the information
to Secretary Blaine, who carried the
news to the President. Every one con-
nected with the State and Navy Depart
mentss who is in position to know the
contents of the cablegram, refuses to say
anything about it, except one official
who complained that the sender did not
appear to know much about the situation.
Nevertheless, it was generally believed
at the departments that the news from
Hayti is not reassuring, and it was cur
rently reported that Captain OK ane had
been ordered to sail Immediately for the
seat of trouble with the Boston, which
has just been reitted at New York.

There has been too much of this, bull

about time that disgruntled parties should

be invaded by force any more than csn
those of the individual citizen. The
courts are open to redress wrongs, and
the courts, instead of force, should be APP
pealed to in all disputes.

A Great Change.

In Los Angeles county the idea that
irrigation was an essential to the success
full raising of crops has been exploded for
now this long while. In the old days
Mr.. Wolfskill and few other vineyard
lists and orchardists thought that the full
volume of the Los Angeles river was
needed to bring their own special pre-
serves to high state of cultivation.
Since then thousands of successful culti-
vators have used the waters OF the Los
Angeles river, and the Wolfskill orchard
was not affected in the least unfavorably.
In the San Gabriel valley the came ex-
periences were reported. The struggle
for water there was as great as in the
Los Angeles valley proper. Old Don
Benito Wilson was the first large vine
yardist AID orchsrdist to discover that
only q comparatively small amount OF
water was needed even for the irrigation
of the orange tree. He put the amount
really needed at eighty gallons to the
tree, if applied intelligently, the tree, in
his opinion, being rather the better for
the restriction to that amount, including
the natural rains.
At the time when Don Benito Wilson
expressed this opinion to the writer, the
general impression in Los Angeles county
was that no crop Of the cereals could be
raised here unless the lands were deluged
with water from irrigsting canals. The
fine wheat lands Of the San Fernando
valley and the Laguna ranch, and hum
dred other valleys and ranches of equal
fertility, were thought only fit for sheep
ranges. The same idea, only in more
intensified form, was held as to the Gen.
tinelo, Sausal Redondo, La Brea, Santa
Monica and other regions, which are now
the center OF the most beautiful and re-
munerative production of Southern Cali.
fornia. As to all these boundless ex-
panses, any one who shall now suggest
that irrigation was needed to insure
crops Of the cereals would be laughed at.
To-day corn is growing on the Centinela
hills, at point where it is one hundred
and twelve feet to water, whose abun-
dance would astonish the Fastener when
it is ripe for the sickle.
What has worked this miracle ? Simply
the opening up of the soil and the bringine
into play the forces Of capillary attrac
ton. 1t is this process, which has been
going on now for over ten years, that
has given Los Angeles county, once
grouped as dry region, rainfall larger
than that of the Sacramento valley, and
which makes even the wheat and barley
crops this year 80 incomparably larger
and better than those of both the Sacra
mento and San Joaquin valleys. When
Los Angeles county leads even in the
cereals, the elements If her greatness are
simply incontestable.

from Armagh was wrecked near that
place to-day. The train contained 1920
persons, composed of Methodist Sunday

killed.
The following particulars have been
received in regard to the accident: The

Cured at point where the trains had to
ascend grade on bank
fifty feet high. The first train
aecended the grade without any trouble.
The second section attempted the ascent,
but the weight Of the train proved too
great for the engine. Several cars were
detached, and were allowed to run back
towards the level track, but before they
reached it they came in collision with the
ordinary train from Armagh, which was
proceeding at good rate Of speed. The
excursion cars were com pletely wrecked.
Hosts Of volunteers were soon at hand.
The dead and wounded were taken from
the wreck and carried down the bank.
Medical aid was called, and a special
train from Belfast brought to the scene
twenty surgeons from that city and a
number of medical men from other
places.
The disaster is unparalleled in the raj.
road history of Ireland. All the shops
in Armagh were closed this afternoon,
and the people are in general mourning.
The engineer, fireman and guard Of the
train and the traffic managers clerk
were summoned before a magistrate.

responsible for the accident.

Armagh that has not some one dead, and
in many cases whole families were

The embankment on which the acci.
dent occurred is seventy feet high. Be-
fore starting on the fatal excursion the
children paraded through the streets Of
Armagh with flags and banners, and the
townsfolk turned out almost en- masse to
wish them happy holiday. The train
consisted of fifteen carriages.
The bulk of the children were in the
front portion of the train. Only about a
dozen children were killed. The majority
of the victims were about twenty years oil
age. They were in the last carriage,
which was completely smashed.
All the bodies have now been taken
from the wreck. The total killed was
seventy-two, of whom sixty.four have
been identified. The number injured is

ment in morning paper that he had

such was not the case. He had never
been in that State. The only time he
had ever met Dillon was on the Let of

Maroney said that he first become
acquainted with Dillon in Philadelphia
years ago. He believed that the charges
against Mcdonald and himself had been
brought 30 as to make a scandal for the
friends of Sullivan. He had known
Dillon when he was an obscure
slipper maker, and had seen him go up
from that until he had secured enough
power to be able to order the arrest of a
man in Timbuctoo or China, SO long as
he was Sullivan man. In
regard to Mcdonald, Msroney said he
been acquainted with him for some
time. While they were not enemies
they were never particularly friendly.
As to the charge of murder both denied
any knowledge of it.

Attempt to Close n street.

The attempt of Mr.. Mills to erect a
building in the street on Second street,
fronting Main, yesterday, is very strik-
ing exemplifcation of the kind Of annoy
snces this city is subjected to. When
Second street was first opened be.
tween Spring and Main streets, the
city failed to secure the land
that projected into the street for
sixteen feet in the lot at the north.
weet corner of Second and Main. The
owner erected brick building upon it
that covered the whole Main street por-
ton of the lot, and the thoroughfare was
therefore consigned to the open strip on
the southwest side. Several years ago the
lot passed into the ownership of Messrs.
Mills and Wicks, and then into that OF
Mr.. Mills alone, who sold to Mr.. New
ell all but the sixteen feet
of the lot which now forms the
sidewalk and a portion of the street
on Second. MIR. Newell tore down the
old building and erected the block which
now forms the corner. The latter gen.
tleman claims that his purchase in
cluded the perpetual right of way over
the land which is now part of the street.
Mr.. Mills claims that the street is still
his private property, that it has never
been conveyed to the city nor
paid for by it, and that he has
the right to close it up at will.
This is, of course, a question of law
which the courts will have to settle. The
public's interest in this matter, however,
is the one which concerns US now. The
street has been opened as thoroughfare
its entire width for three years. Valuable
improvements have been made upon it
by other parties, that were doubtless in
a great measure induced by the fact that
Second was an open street, and to that
extent constituted an easement in their
case. Incidental and consequential
rights have grown up, and these cannot
be ignored at this day by the arbitrary
closing of the thoroughfare.
1t would certainly appear to a calm
and disinteres ted observer that the in
creased value OF the remainder of the lot
by the ceseion to the street of sixteen
feet was something of consideration in
for the property No ade public.
The lot was originally fifty feet in width.
By dedicating sixteen feet of it to make
the other thirty-four a corner lot,
with side frontage upon a fine
wide street would seem to be a
that would commend itself

he partition Mr.. Mills sought to kill two
birds with one stone-to get corner lot

THE report of the late Executive Of the
Viticultural Commission upon the vine
disease says that the American varieties
of grapes continue to grow in the infected
districts, and that the Lenoir and lisa.
bella may be safely planted in them.
He says that the first cause Of the fungus
trouble is yet to be discovered, and that
until it is, the Bordeaux mixtures are
the best remedies to be used. In the
meantime the disease appears to be less
violent than it was before in the most
badly affected vineyards. Some of the
large vineyards below this city are looking
much better this year than they did last.
There is strong feeling, from the ap-
pearance of the vines, that the disease is
wearing itself out.
