The dead body of a colored man was
found lying on the station platform Of
Bear station on the Delaware railroad
Friday morning by the night operator
at the station. He notified the authori-
ties here and Coroner Gamble went Ia
the Bear that morning and brought the
body back on the train which reaches
here at 9.42 a. IN. The man is supposed
to have been struck by train during the
night. The only marks Of violence about
him were a cut on the left side Of the
head near the eye and few bruises al
though the man had bled from the mouth
indicating the cause OF death to be an in
ternal hemorrhage probably. From
letters found on his person, he is sup
posed to bo Nathaniel L. Hudson, who
lived at No. Sl9 East Fifth street. In a
letter dated May 9th, he writes to his
wife in Milford and among the batch were
also several letters from her to him, mailed

Awakening TO the necessity of securing new

OF the needs of each market, and OF acting

the peach crop. These objects can be ae-
cornplished and the bureau permanently

probably over 100000 baskets OF fruit
were marketed or utilized, the prices were

matter so constantly by public msetings,
by speeches, by constant articles In the

should continue this system and improve 1t

ence 10 the opinion OF many Of our fruit
growers, n Is now contemplated modifying
several uilesof the bureau 80 that It will not

A Bottle of Dangerous Chemicals
Thrown Into a Vacant Lot.

A Bottle OF Dangerous Chemicals
Thrown Into a Vacant Lot.
A number OF Young children were play
ing last evening week in the large vacant
lot bounded by Walnut and French
streets and Tenth and Eleventh. when a
little 4lyears-oid boy, Harry Peterson,
SON uf Sergeant Paschal Peterson, picked
up small leathern case and handed it in
wonder to his little sister Ella, child z
years old. The latter opened the case
and finding a flask in it dashed the bottle
upon q lasge stone. The contents few up
on the child's clothing, burning 1t imme-
diatoIy. The nffrighted child ran home
when twas discovered that the liquid
had burnt right through the clothing on
the child's breast and was already eating
away in the flesh surface. Mrs. Peterson
tore away the clothing as fast as she
could and applied remedies which were
OF temporary value in arresting further
raveges. ...
II is believed the contents Of the phial
were vitriol or sulphuric acid. Sergeant
and Mrs. Peterson are only too thankful
that the csrelessness OF the peyson who
threw the flask on the open lot was not
the cause OF any of the children losing
their eyesight.

Trees Under High Culture Less
Liable 10 the Disease.

Trees Under High culture Less
Liable 10 Lhc Disease.
Josiah Hopes Of West Chester, Pa,
writing to the New York 2'ri5une, says;
According to my observation, the peach
is less liable to disease under high culture
than when neglected or on poor soil. On
the principle that yellows will appear
under all conditions, many growers give
trees little or no attention, depending
upon one or two good crops for profit
before the disease attacks them. This is
opposed TO Systematic good culture, and
20 the careful oIchardist is specially re-
pulsiye. More than one Bcrupulously
clean orchard is to day showing greater
degree OF health and profit than their
neglected competitors. It has been as
serted that by heavy manuring and
liberal applications Of potash in some
convenient form, yeliows will in q
measure he warded of, on account Of
the consequent strong, healthy growth.
II cultiyaiore generally would study the
practical part of the subject, and note
the conditions under which the disease
appears, and is increased, they might
render yallable assistance. A prejudice
formerly existed against planting yellow
deshed peaches, under the impression
chat they were easily contaminated, but
more extended experience disproved this
view. The yellows is no respsctor OF
varieties or places. Where 1t finds
proper conditions for development tnere
Il operates, and continues its wo:k of
destrqction. However, we can unite upon
the heroic roofing out and burning OF
any infected trees as soon az the disease
ia discovered. The malady may have
been communicated to other trees, but as
a diseased tree is worthless, the sooner 1t
ia removed the better.

WARRINGTON, May 10.-Society circles
were somewhat startled this evening to
learn of the slopment Of Miss Helen NJ.
Trenholm, niece Of ex Comptroller
Trenholm, and Wilson W. Braneman, q
nephew of Marshall A. A. Wilson, OF this
city, which occurred to-day. Miss Tren-
holm left her house early this morning

A hurried drive to the city hall, where
the license was secured, and hurried
marriage ceremony by the Rev. DR.. Addi-
son, of Trinity Church, characterized the
romantic element OF the elopement.
The practical part Of it began when
the happy couple left on honeymoon
trip for Philadelphia, and the brides
mother was notified Of the marriage by
special messenger. She Immediately
telegraphed the young couple her con-
gratulations and requested them to return
home immediately. Mr.. Braneman is ~
years of age and is employed in B. Fl.
Warmers real estate Office.
Miss Trenholm is about 18 years Of age
and is very pretty. She resided with her
mother In West Washington, where she

MOvai Of a window Pane.
Between 3 and o'clock q. m, Thursday
thieves broke into tha shoe store Of l..
Schalsgel, No. West Second street, and
stole sevens pair of shoes. The noise of
the glass falling from the bulk windows
through which entrance was made
alarmed the neiehbors when the thieves
ran off with their booty. Ehe fugitives
were chased by the waGchmsn but no ar
rest was made. Near the broken window
large piece Of board was found the size
OF the pane. Some adhesive material
had been spread upon it. The supposi-
ton is that the burglars' idea was to
plfce the board against the pane when,
after cutting around the glass, the pane
might be removed noisslessly. On this
occasion for some reason or other the
trick did not work successfully as the
large glass pane fell inside with loud
crash against the brass furnishings OF the
show window Mr.. SchalaRel's store was
robbed in the same way two years ago.
