CYRUS w. FIELD STILL LIVES.
He IL Resting Comfortab1y-How His
Son Suuandered stolen Money,

NEW YORK, Dec 3.-The report that Edward
NJ. Field, son of Cyrus W. Field, had been re-
moved from the private asylum in which he was
incarcerated, is without foundation. There is
no essential change in his condition.
This evening Cyrus W. Field is reported COM
Portable
The condition OF his daughter, Mrs. Lndley,
still remains very serious, but there has been no
change since yesterday.
Assignee Gould is getting ready a statement
OF the affairs of Field, Lndley & Co., but il is
not yet completed. He said there was absolutely
nothing new in the case today.
The mystery of where the money was obtained
by Edward n. Field through re-hypothecation of
securities on which he had made loans, or
which, as in the case OF Weichers, had been on
deposit, has not been explained. Artemus R.
Holmes said today that indications were that
the grain accounts of the firm would show a
profit, while the stock department showed a
loss. This is surprising TO most persons, for the
belief is strong that the Field firm
was hit hard by the collapse of the corn deal
Holmes said all the Union Pacific securities had
been located. According to Holmes these bonds
had lively time at the hands of Field. They
were sold outright IN many instances banded
between banks aud brokers Offices, and utilized
IN every way possible TO secure money to keep
the firm going. s. V. White & Co. will proba-
bly, lose 10000 by Fields failure.

their own way, often run up like Lom-
hardy poplars- These very tall trees are
Objectionable in many ways. and it is
merely matter of yearly winter prun-
ing to bring them into desirable shape
The majority OF growers, however, do
very little pruning from fear of affect
ing the longevity of the trees. Others
practice topping trees annually, beginning
with l-year-olds. cutting off the tops two
or three feet from the ground. and every
winter thereafter removing about two
thirds of the previous years growth from
the top limbs, until the trees come into
bearing at years old.
This pruning is done any time after the
fall growth ceases and before the buds
swell in the spring.
A Georgia pomologist, who grows pears
extensively and who indorses the top
pruning plan described, tells in the Ameri-
can Garden that he sees only advantages in
the practice with the lie Conte and KIetfer
