LONDON, Sept. 9.-Editor O'Brien and

FOR some time making speeches in differ

to refuse to pay their rent and although
this is a violation of the crimes act, the
government seemed to be indifferent to
their actions. Consequently, when the
two men were arrested yesterday and taken
to Tipperary to answer charge of con-
spiracy, it was something of a bombshell

This may have had some little weight
in the matter, but is not believed to have
had much. OBren's last trip through

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.


The Florida orange crop the past sea-
son was large one, and reached fully
2,500,000 boxes. The season, taken alto.
gether, was far more satisfactory than the
previous one. The quality OF the fruit was far
superior and the prices obtained much better.
1t is noteworthy fact that little complaint was
INDUCED In by the growers of want of trans
portation. although, as matter of fact, with
one exception. that of the Ocean Steamship
Company, which had one extra steamer every
week, all the other transportation companies
facilities were just the same as the other
seasons for the shipment of the fruit
north. The reasons given, however, for the lack
of these complaints was in great measure due
to The growers, who were more careful in pack
ing and also to the soundness OF the fruit ITSELF
The increase over the previous season was said
to be nearly 10000 boxes. and reports from
Florida say that the crop Of the coming season
will show still further increase as the trees
were not damaged to any extent by the late
March freezes. The melon season was q fair
one, aud good prices were obtained by the
South Georgia growers, who came in with their
fruit early, and they were aided very much by
the transportation lines in getting the fruit to
market, especially to che western markets.
where good prices ruled and the quick
transportation brought the fruits to
the consuming markets in fine order.
There were, however. many inferior melons
shipped which, of course, caused loss, but all
good fruit brought full value. In some in
stances sales were made at over 800 per car
load. The production of melons did not begin

trucking business was very poor, and the early
vegetables were almost entirely destroyed by
the two freezes in late spring. Planters, how
ever, did fairly well with potatoes and cabbages
because, owing to the short crops of other veg
etabl-s, very good prices were obtained for
them. The experience of the truck farmers in

BIZ SAIL.-Ihere was very good demand
throughout the season. but there was some
scarcity OF spot vessels at times. This was par
tfcularly so In the fall and winter months: as il
row is, and although there was a great deaf
more cotton carried by sailing vessels during
last season than for several seasons past, a
great deal more would have been shipped In thar

In the naval stores trade there was a GOOD

scarce. and very much so for the past two

hours In n clear voice and with carefully

was like a great actor playing great
part. Mr. Lincoln arose, walked to the
edge OF the platform, took out his glass
es and put them on. lie bowed to the as
semblage in his homely manner and took
out of his pocket a page Of foolscap. In
front of him was a photographer with
his camera, endeavoring TO take pic
ture of the scene. We all supposed that
Mr. Lincoln would make rather a long
speech--a half-hour ut least. He took
the single sheet of foolscap, held it al
most TO his nose and, in a high tenor
voice, without the least attempt for eff
feet, delivered the most extraordinary adj
dress which belongs to the classics of lit
erature. The photographers was bust
ling about preparing to take the Presi-
dents picture while he was speaking,
but Mr. Lincoln finished before the pho
tographer was ready. remember it was
a beautiful October day, and there were
four or five Thousand people present.
Very few heard what Mr. Lincoln said,
and Il Is curious thing that his words
should have made no particular impress
sion at the time. The noticeable thing
was the anxiety of all on the platform
that the photographer should be able &c
get his picture. / remember we were

in temperament, companionablc, in the
truest sense she knew the art of making
home attractive and restful, refuge
of comfort. The funeral was held at the
