Phosphate Fertilizers on Wheat.

In response to a request from the Salem
county IN. j. board of agriculture, ex-
periments were planned by the director
Of the New Jersey Agricultural station
to test the relative value of like amounts
of phosphoric acid in the form of bone
black or South Carolina rock, and wheat
was selected as the crop. The expert
ments were carried out on four farms in
Salem county and on the college farm.
The farms in Salem county are all under
laid by mari beds. From six to nine
tenth-acre plots were used in each ex-
pertinent. A mixture furnishing fifteen
pounds Of nitrogen and twenty pounds
of potash per acre was applied on all the
plots. In addition to this, $50 pounds of
boneblack Containing 1862 per cent.
available phosphoric acid or 440 pounds
of dissolved South Carolina rock (con-
tanning 12.49 per cent. available phos-
phoric aci0 were applied on all the plots
except two or three, which received nc
phosphate. The yields and financial re-
suits are tabulated for each experiment.
The value of crops on those plots fertil-
lied with phosphoric acid from either
boneblack or South Carolina rock were
practically identical, The widest differ
ence in value of crops, $2.4S per acre, is
shown on the college farm.

The large clovers known as mammoth,

THE HOUSE DEFIEo.
An Extraordinary Scene-wheeler and
Watson Renew Their Fight.

An Extraordinary Scene-wheeler and
Watson Renew Their Fight
WASHINGTON, July 30.-The usual
monotonous proceedings of the house
were enlivened yesterday for two hours
by a personal explanation of Mr..
Wheeler, Democrat, of Alabama, who
charged that Mr.. Watson, Democrat, of
Georgia, had misstated facts regarding
him (Wheeler) and had also published in
a recent third party campaign book
which he (Watson) had issued, matters
rejecting upon the dignity of the house
and the conduct of its members. The
citation from the work was as follows:
Drunken members had reeled about the
aisles, a disgrace to the republic, drunken
speakers had debated grave issues on the floor
and in the midst of maudlin ramblings have
been heard to ask; M. Speaker, where was
Iat7"
Mr.. Watson arose to reply but was
constantly called to order by several
members who submitted that he was
out of order and was not confining him
self to the Objectionable language ex-
cepted. In the course of his remarks he
said he stood by every word he had
written in the book and was ready to
answer any charge Of falsehood that
might be made against him. Mr.. Tracy,
Democrat, of New York, then called
him to order and he took his seat by
direction of the speaker. Subsequently
the house by vote allowed him to pro-
ceed and he made statement reiterat-
ing the charges, which he said were
true, and defied any action which the
house might take, saying that he would
appeal to the justice which dwelt in
the hearts of the American people for
his vindication, if indeed any were
needed. The matter was temporarily
dropped, but was again renewed by a
resolution of Mr.. Boatner, Democrat,
of Alabama, which was adopted, pro.
viding for a committee Of FIVE members
to investigate the truth or falsity of the
statements made. The speaker ap-
pointed Mr.. Boatner, Democrat. OF
Louisiana; Mr.. Wolverton, Democrat,
of Pennsylvania; Mr.. Buchanan, Demo
crat, of Virginia; Mr.. Grote, Republi-
can, of Vermont, and Mr.. Simpson, OF
Kansas, as the committee. The house
devoted the rest Of the day to flibus-
tering tactics on the Worlds fair appro-
priation, and the matter remains in
statu quo, neither side gaining want,
age point.

influence of the climate upon the corn
is also dwelt upon, and the same corn

The library, which is the most splendid
collection Of books in the world, com

are unusually well preserved. Its col.
lection of Bibles is unique.
The purchaser of the library will, IL Il

RATHER COMPLICATED.
The Case of the Men Arrested on TIL
Huntington Telegram Postponed.

The Case of the Men Arrested on the
Huntington Telegram Postponed
Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock
the cases against s. G. Wellman aud X.
g. Hardy, the two men arrested by the
police on the steamer Andes, Monday
afternoon, on telegram from Hunting
ton, was called before Justice Ankle, 0.
L. Hoffman, the prosecuting witness,
being present, and represented by Capt.
3. y. Dovener, his counsel. The de-
tense was represented by COL w. w.
Arnett. The original warrant upon
which the men were committed to jail
was then Quashed and a new warrant
issued, charging the prisoners with be-
ing fugitives from justice.
From statements made by both sides,
it appears that the case is a compli-
Gated one, and it may take good deal
of time and trouble to get matters
Strengthened out. 1t seems that Hoff-
man and Welman were engaged in
partnership in selling portable emery
wheels, made by New York firm.
Hoffman advanced the capital, and the
agreement with Wellman was that he
was to sell what wheels he could and
have half the profits of such sales. Last
Monday night, in Cincinnati, according
TO the claim OF Hoffman, written
agreement between them was abrogated
verbally, to some extent, and then
Hoffman went away on business. While
he was gone Wellman and Hardy pack
ed up big lot Of the wheels and took
boat for up the river, without deposit
ing any cash for Hoffman. The defense
claim that as they were working under
a partnership agreement, Wellman had
right to go where he pleased, and
take as many wheels along as he pleased,
so long as he RENTED wien he made
sale, but Hoffman demurres to the
agreement, hence his warrant.
After a general talk of half an hour
or so, yesterday, the case was post
pOned until seven o'clock this evening,
the two men being released on their
own recogniZauce in $500 each, while
Hoffman telegraphed to Cincinnati for
witnesses.

In Contemplation over "Back" River by
the Belmont Bridge Company.
The Wheeling and Belmont Bridge
Company have for some time pasG been
contemplating the erection of new
bridge across the channel of Back"
river, connecting the Island with
Bridgeport, and although no contract
has yet been let, the work will probably
be commenced in short time and
pushed energeticGlly. The new struc-
ture will be OF steel, en-
bracing three driveways and two
sidewalks, and will be erected upon
the present piers, supporting the time
honored wooden structure now in use.
The new bridge will be the widest in
this section, perhaps forty-eight or fifty
feet, and will be erected without inter-
feTing with travel over the existing
bridge, except that the north sidewalk
Will be torn away to facilitate work. 1t
will be thoroughly modern in every re-
spect, and one of the finest, If not the
finest, OF the bridges lately erected
along the Ohio. The plans are yet IN
der consideration.
The Wheeling and Belmont Company
are out Of debt, it having liquidated the
last of it's obligations last year. 1t has
thus been enabled to devote its income
largely to the payment of its usual
dividends, and although its revenues
have suffered adimunition of about one
third, since the opening of the new
bridges, it has, nevertheless, declared
its usual semi-annual dividend Of four
per cent, payable July 1st.

reported that the Wheeling and Lake

agents met Monday not one Of them was
sure that the Wheeling and Lake Erie

to adjourn until this morning TO find
out what the Wheeling road had done.
IN the reduction has been made there
is nothing else for the local lines 20 do
but 10 meet it. One agent stated that
the Wheeling and Lake Erie is a new
rOad, and is trying TO make capital fer
itself. The officials of the line take the
ground that Wheeling is nearer che

therefore deserves a lower rate. This

folk Navy Yard Yesterday-A Great Sue
cess.
PORTSMOUTH, VA, June 2S.-The
Norfolk Navy yard and Constru ctor
Francis Bowes have secured signal
triumph in that successful launching OF
the battle-ship Texas" here to-day.
The scene, in spite of fine rain which
fell during the entire forenoon, was a
most animated one. About $4,000
spectators were in the yard and as
many more were on steamers, tugs,
yachts and on the opposite shore of the
river. Standing on the launching
tower erected from the launching plat
form were Miss Madge Houston Will
liams, of Texas, and her mother,
Mrs. Williams: Lieut.. w. S. Coles,
the private secretary OF Secretary
Tracy and his official representative on
this occasion and Ensign Ellery P.
Jones, of the navy. The red, white and
blue cords holding the bottle Of wine
were tied to staff, mounted by star
emblematic of the loan star State.
At 10 minutes after II o'clock the
signal ''ready" was given. Miss Will
liams uttering the words IL christen thee
Texas" broke the bottle OF wine on the
bow of the noble vessel and size start
ed. 1t was just 46 seconds from the
time the bottle was broken that the
Texas was standing in the stream as
firm as land battery. Five minutes
later she was moored to her wharf.
