DIR. Llewellyn Jones, the Bishop of New

aid to repair the loss suffered by the Anglican
community =
"The Church of England here has been
overwhelmed by an appalling disaster. The
cathedral, the Bishops house. the houses Of
the clergy, the Sunday and day schools, and
the orphanage have been burned. The beau
tifnl cathedral, which was designed by Sir
Gilbert Scott and but lately completed at
great cost, was practically uninsured. Church
people are heavy sufferers, and, unable to re-
build without aid, appeal to the sympathy
of the Anglican Communion throughout the
world for assistance towards the restoration
Of this historic landmark in the place where
the English Sc. vice was first celebrated in the

SAVED BY A NASAL TUBE.
MISS KELLEY LIVED TWO YEARS ON
FOOD THUS TAKEN.

A peculiar case of what is known as
whimsical insanity is just now claim
ing the attention of the physicians and
nurses of the female department of the
State Hospital for the insane, at Nor.
ristOwn. The patients name is Lizzie
Kelley. She is about 80 years of age,
and has been an inmate of the place
for the past two years.
LiZzie's insanity took the strange
form of adherence for all kinds Of
food, and she positively refused to
take any nOurishment whatever.
When she was taken to the asylum
two years ago she was weak and
emaciated from her abstinence from
food. DR.. Alice Bennett, who is in
charge of the female wing of the hos
pital, took the case in hand, and has
given it her personal attention ever
since. Lizzie was given liquid food by
force through the nOstrils, by means of
tube, and this operation was repeated
three times a day up to a week ago.
SUDDENLY ASKED FOR OYSTERS.
During all this time Lizzie was not
confined to bed until about two months
ago, when she was prOstrated with
weakness and general debility. Dur
ing this physical illness, the same
method Of feeding the patient was pur-
sued, but despite all treatment she
seemed to sink lower each day, until
the end seemed to be surely approach
ing. one day about a week ago,
Lizzie suddenly surprised everybody
"A u s,girf Ill
head nurse Of the section in which she |
was confined, for some stewed oys-
tiers.
Mrs. Holmes was astOnished and |
alarmed. She thought that the woman !
was about to die, and her reason had |
asserted itself like the last flicker of an |
expiring candle.
DO you mean to eat the oysters ?"
asked the nurse.
"Yes, do. What do you suppose l
want them for?" said the patient.
Mrs. Holmes lost no time in procur-
ing the oysters, which Lizzie promptly
ate, with a decided relish.
1t was her first meal in two years,
and she enjoyed it keenly. Then
Lizzie started to eat in earnest. She
was evidently determined to make up
for lost time, and for three or four DAYS
she literally devoured every thing in
the edible line she could lay her hands
upon. As a result she at first rallied
from her sickness, and then her stom.
ach, unused to the violent exercise
caused by the new departure, revolted,
and Lizzie became afflicted with indi-
gestiOn from Overeating. Still her ap-
petite was unimpaired, and she contin-
led to call for something to eat at all
hours of the day and night.
HAD TO CUT OFF SUPPLIES.
Finally, DIR. Bennett was obliged to
place the patient on low diet food, and !
lOw her physical condition has greatly
improved. The Doctor entertains
Ome hope that she will be able to /
fleet cure of her mental malady, /
'ut there is strong probability that
Ter propensity for eating is only a q

A Couple Elope.

CAPTURE BY AN IRATE

An eloping couple from Hooper's
Island arrived IN Salisbury Wednes-
day morning on the steamer Enoch
Pratt. The gay Romeo was William
d: Madkins, and his fair Juliet was
Miss Octavia G. White, daughter of
James White, a prominent resident of
the island. The captain and his wife
had forbidden Madkins to visit the
house, and threw every obstacle in the
way of the lovers to prevent their
meeting. The vigilance of the parents
however, was not sufficient to prevent
clandestine meetings, At one of these
meetings last week it was decided to
elope. So on Tuesday night about II
O'Clock, while the old folks were
asleep, Octavia quietly packed her
clothes in basket and silently stole
away from the house. She was met a
snort distance away by her lover and
they entered a sailbOat and were soon
speeding along before a stiff breeze.

FERTILIZERs.

The use of the choice varieties and
the cutting of the seed judiciously, is
well understood by all careful potato
growers, and as the trench system is
very simple there is little to learn
other than the fact of enormous yields,
but in order to secure.the large yields
the ground is literally supplied with
fertilizer composed of about six per
cent of ammonia, II per cent phospho.
ric acid, and eight per cent potash.
AS much as $50 pounds of fertiliser per
acre have been used, which was sown
in the bottom of the trenches and well
incorporated with the soil, the seed
pieces being placed on this, one foot
apart in the trenches.

UNDER ABSOLUTE CONTROL.

The balloons which were at a great
height, remained stationary sometimes
tor the space of 40 minutes, and would
then proceed in any desired direction.
There is no doubt that the steering
apparatus, whatever it is, is admirably
adapted to its purpose, for the balloons
apparently answer as readily to it as
does a vessel to her helm. Russian
officials hold that with manageable
balloons the whole system of warfare
will be changed.
1t is self-evident that none of the
present Notifications would be able to
withstand an attack from above them.
Shells could be dropped with almost
unerring certainty, and no city could
defend itself from the attack of an
enemy far up in the air, beyond the
reach of any missile. Even modern
cannon with their great range, could
not at present be used against ballons.
Tor the reason that gun carriages have
not been made that will allow of per-
pendicular elevation.
Smyrna times., 1892-04-06
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL

The land is plowed foot deep and
opened eight inches. The seed is
then planted and the trenches left open
the dirt being filled in as the plants
grow, the claim being that by grad
Ually filling in as growth is made, the
potatoes produce more tubers as we'll
as larger size and better quality, on
account of having more room and a
better soil, but when the trenches are
filled to the top the usual level cult
vation is given, though some prefer to
hill up the rows, believing that by SO
doing more moisture is retained by
the soil. The usual method of grow
ing potatoes is to plant the seed from
four to six inches deep, but as the
trench system calls for nine inches
depth and of the width of heavy
turrow to as much as three feet, if pre.
f,erred, tuber-beariug stems issue from
different planes, making several tiers
OF tubers, fairly separated from each
other instead of being crowded.

A Plot of Potatoes.
THE TRENCH SYSTEM IN THE GROW
ING OF TUBERS.


Quite revolution was affected bv
the system of growing potatoes by the
trench method, for when experiments
showed that grower could produce
l2S bushels of potatoes on one-eighth
of an acre, or at the rate of more than a
thousand bushel to an acre, as was
done by Mr.. A. Rose, of Pen Van, n.
Y, the new system at once attracted
attention, for Mr.. Rose also secured
over 500 bushels of potatoes on a full.
measured acre of ground. 1t is not
yet conceded that the trench system is
superior to the usual plot culture, but
as the potato season is nearly here it
Is not out of place to state what the
trench system is, in order that those
who so prefer may make experiments

The 3-YearOld Child of a Farmer Near
Fulda, Mimi, Cannot Be Found.
FULDA, Mimi, Aug. 30.-Duringo the
evening a farmer named Haberman,
who lives about one mile east of town,
came in and informed the people that
one of his twin girls, about years old,
was lost somewhere on the prairie. The
child went to the road which ran near
the house and with her sister wandered
along the highway from the house about
quarter of mile and out of sight of
her parents. A short time after, the
sister of the little girl who is lost re-
turned and said, "Julia had gone after
candy" The parents went in search,
but could not find any trace of the child
but hunted nearly all day before they
alarmed the town people. Search was
made until dark by few, but about 100
men went out at daybreak and the
search has been continued by hundreds
of people all day long. Every foot of
the prairies for miles around has been
carefully examined and searched with
out avail. No trace or clue of the miss
ing child has as yet been found and
night has again come and all have gone
home and abandoned the search. The
opinion is now quite general that the
child has been abducted.

SCORES CT MINERS BURIED IN A
WELSH COAL PIT.
Nineteen Have Been Rescued Alive.
Fears That Most of Them Have Per-

LONDON, Aug. 26.-An explosion,
which, it is feared, may be attended by
enormous loss of life, has occurred at
Aberkenig, near BridSend, in the
county OF Glamorrgan, Wales. One
hundred and forty-one miners are en-
traII2' y > coal pit owing to an explo-
sion whicn shattered the galleries by
which ,nay could have laaGe their exit,
and Eu>li.'w is known ci their fate.
When the explosion took place vol
ume OF coal dust arose from tho mouth
of the pit, and this, along with the
rumbliHg noise, gave notice to the in
habitants that something serious had
occurred. Women and children rushed
to the mouth Of the pit, crying and
wailing fur the fathers, husbands and
brothers below. The scenes at the
pits mouth were most distressing,
and efforts were at once made to reach
the ertombed 'Diners to ascertain the
extent of the cal&mity. Their efforts SO
far have proved unsuccessful and the
indications are that the explosion may
have destroyed every life in the mine.
The miners have called Oh men from
ncighboring collieries to assist in the
work of rescue and the most strenuous
exertions are being made to open a way
to the unfortunates below. In several
instances women have gone frantic over
the suspense and some of them have in
sisted on taking part in the work. Many
hundreds Of spectators have assembled
from all directions and work is at
standstill in the vicinity, so great and
general is the anxiety to ascertain

Trunk line through Canada. This
matter being brought to the attention Of

Secretary Spalding sent the following
explicit telegram to the solicitor of the
Grand Trunk railroad company:
Hon. F. E. Medbaugh, Detroit, Mich. {:
Neither Manitoba nor dome ic wheat
can be carried in Canadian bottoms from
Duluth to Port Huron, as it would be in
violation of outcoasting laws. But if
carried in American bottoms it is not
subject to tolls. If carried throught the
canal from Duluth to Sarnia for con-
sumption in or export from Canada via
Montreal or.any other port it would be.
