EX-agcnt Guilty of Contempt?

The well remembered litigation OF the
heirs of the late Byron d. Bali and his
widow, Martha NJ. Tompkns, has not
disappeared entirely from the United
states Court.
II Will be remembered that Mrs.
TOmpkius was one of the executors OF
her husband sWIll. and Harvey Hollis
ter the other. She. It appeared, was
governed entirely by the advice IF
IOmpkinS, and Mr. IIOll l,stcr was power

appointment OF a receiver, alleging that
the estate WAS being mi,managed and
sQuandcred. 1t was an interesting
case and quite sensational IN
its developments, and Geo. w. Thaycr
WAS finally appointed receiver OF the
property. There has been constant
trouble, and TOmpkins even cited 10
appear before the court for contempt
IN refusing to turn over certain effects
to the receiver. The last trouble arose
when TOmDkins notified q number of
tenants not to continue to pay rent 10
the receiver. Mr.. Thaycr then filed a
petition, asking To have his duty out
lined to hlm. and also to be allowed to
pay taxes now past due. TOmpkins
also filed one, asking for the removal
of the receiver, as the trust created by
the VIII expired ON January l.
Thaycr states that as he had no desire
for u personal controversy, he has
sought no personal explanation, hut
that he believes TOmpkins has violated
the orders OF the court, and that If he
is 10 continue receiver, he don't want
hs usefulness auuullcd. Among the
tenants of the estate who were notified

to Inayer, were Albert BaXtcr, Mrs.
simmons. Mrs. Rice, Mrs. sheldon and
George W Van Every. They, of course.
not caring TO toe subjected to double
payment of their DOL cations, notified
Thavcr thatthey would wat the action
Of the court. The taxes doe amount to
S30l .02 and reach back to 1857. and are
rapidly becoming a very dark cloud on
the title.
Judge Severens heard the case In

Soft Soap for Fruit Trees.

There is no better preventive against
bores and insects that infest the trunks
and limbs Of fruit trees than soft soap, if
applied in May and June each year.
Notwithstanding the very general substi-
tuition of the factory hard soap for the
domestic article formerly so commonly
made in families, soft soap from the
leached wood ashes is still made to very
considerable extent in districts where
wood is yet the common fuel, SO that it
can easily be obtained at small cost by
any orohardist who may need it. Itshould
be Diluted Just enough to allow its being
readily applied with broom or a mop.
Besides being obnoxious to insects of all
kinds, it serves to keep the bark clean
and in q healthy condition. Its uses need
not be confined to the orchard, but il
may be applied with great advantage to
trees, and shrubs of all varieties infested
with insects.
