John Stanton, a hostler employed at
Jamison's livery stable, at 739 Golden
Gate avenue. was taken to the Receiving
Hospital last night where he lies in
critical condition from the effect of Injuries
inflicted by Barney Cullen, typical young
hoodlum with whom he had quarreied.
The fracas. which may result in Stanton's
death. occurred at the corner of Franklin
ana McAllister streets last Saturday night.
Both he and Cullen were intoxicated and
finally became engaged in an alteration.
during which Cullen struck his victim with
slungshot in the head. knocking him
down.
stanton was taken to the Receiving Hos
pitai, where an apparently insignificant
scalp wound WAS dressed, after which he
was sent to his home.
Yesterday he became too i'll tn work and
was again taken to the Receiving Hospital.
where Drs Somers and Deane found he was
severely injured and also suffering from
congestion Of the lungs. aud may not re-

whether Stanton's condition resulted
from natural causes or from the blow struck
by Cullen Is unknown.
Cullen was arrested late last night and
taken TO the old City Hall station. where
he was locked up in the tanks. He will be
neid to await the result Of Stan,on's In
juries.

She took the brush from the gluepot and
covered little place on the bench with hot
glue, and then took one of the straps, one
end between each thumb and forefnger,
letting the middle sag down, and covered
one side OF 1t with the glue on the bench
by sort OF dipping motion. Then she laid

Successful Market Gardening.

Crops must be forced to maturity
early; to be the largest and best of their
kind and to be crisp and tender, they
must be grown quickly. To accomplish
this requires not only q thorough pre-
paration of the soil, but the most liberal
manuring with the very best sources of
plant food, says ]. II. Hale in The
American Argiculturist.
have known some market gardeners
to apply 100 two horse wagon loads
of well composted stable manure per
acre, plowing it under eight to ten
inches deep with good steel plow, fol-
lowing in each furrow with a subsoil
plow, mellowing the earth six or eight
inches deeper. On the surface, after
plowing, would be spread from one to
two tons of some light grade commercial
fertilizer to be thoroughly incorporated
with the soil by persistent narrowing
with the most approved implements OBJ
tainable. Such a preparation costs from
$3.50 to $3.50 per acre, according to loca-
ton. In fact it is doubtful if many
successful market gardeners at the north
ever prepare an acre of land for their
leading crops at an expense much less
than 500 per acre annually. AS rule
the greater the expense-if judiciously
put out-the greater the returns and
profits, especially where two or more
crops are produced from the same land
in one season, as is the case in most
market gardens,

VARIETIES oE PEAS.

Notable and Standard Names Among Ex-
ira Early, Medium and Late sorts.
For success with peas a soil light and
dry but not over rich is desirable. The
sowing should be done as soon as the
ground can be worked in spring and
thereafter at intervals of ten days, for a
succession, until the lst of June. From
four to six feet apart, according TO the
height of the variety, in single or double
rows, an inch apart in the rows and four
inches deep in the soil, is a good general
rule for sowing peas. Keep the ground
clean and fine during growth.
Among extra early peas are classed the
Alaska, a dwarf sort, very productive,
the peas blue; the First and Best, fa-
vorite with market gardeners, being
early, productive, uniform in ripening
and ofgood quality; the Daniel O'Rourke;
the American Wonder, an extra early
wrinkled pea, productive and of fine
quality, and the Rural New Yorker.
With early and medium peas may be
numbered McLean's Advancer, Cham
pion of England, Profusion, Pride Of the
Market, Everbearing, Dwarf Sugar, etc.

M'KlNLeY toR CONGRESS.

Our Columbus correspondent writes
us that Gov. Mckinley would gladly ex-
change his prefix of Gov in order to
write M. g. after his name again.
He also writes us that Mckinley does
not like the details and petty annoy
ances of the Governors office.
We get the same information else
where from confidential friends of the
Major. Dispatches are being sent out
from East Liverpool, the home of the
great pottery lords, that Mckinley will
accept the nomination and that 1t is the
intention of these protected million
aires to nominate him.
In Stark county, with at least a
dozen ambitious Republican leaders,
who are anxious to eliminate in Con-
gress, there is only one candidate for
Congress Morgan of Alliance. Julius
Whiting, Jr., Allen Carnes and ST
Conrad have been pulled off the track
by some unseen hand. Why was this
Some say IL was done to make Stark
county solid for Morgan, with the un-
derstanding that Morgan is to pull of,
after several ballots at Salem, to be fol-
lowed by hurrah movement to sus-
pend the rules, along with the Colum.
biana and Mahoning candidates, and
nominate Mckinley by acclamation.
With only three counties In the dis.
trict, and FIVE candidates in the pull, il
will be an easy matter to create dead.
lock, and then side track all the ado
lescent aspirants.
OF course Mckinley Is not candi-
date. He cannot afford to be, under
the circumstances. But If the nomi-
nation is offered to him unanimously,
1t seems to US, from what we see and
hear, that he will not feel like declin.

the Pennsylvania State Convention on
Wednesday gives additional alarm to
the friends Of President Harrison, and
the anti. Harrison feeling in New York
has developed into powerful organiza-
tion, during the last five days
Mckinley is candidate for Presi-
dent: and he is not without hope. He
is not an avowed candidate, however,
as an avowal would create factional
fight in Ohio that would injure his
chances.
The following dispatch, In the Gin
cinnati Enquirer of April 20, is proba
bly, correct view of the Mckinley
programme:
WASHINGTON, d. Q. April 19.-Presi-
dent Harrison does not feel as contl-
dent as he did month ago that he will
be renominated at Minneapolis without
a struggle. There is a pronounced
scare at the White House over the
organization Of the Anti i-Administra
tion Republicans to defeat him. A still
hunt has been going on for months to
the injury of President Harrison's
chances and he has only recently dis
covered the nature of the campaign
that is being directed against the full
fillment of his desire for second term.
When danger was threatened in the
possibility of q Mckinley delegation
from Ohio Secretary Foster was
at once sent into the State to
straighten up the lines, which had be-
come little ragged through Foraker's
manipulations. The effect will be bet
ter known after the State Convention,
but Foster has pledged that come what
may Ohio will be solid for Harrison at
Minneapolis His confidence is not
shared generally by Republicans. II
A report reached Washington last
week that Governor Mckinley expected
to head the Ohio delegation. After
some consultation between Quay and
other Anti.Harrieon managers, it was
desided to suggest to Governor McKin-
ley not to go as delegate. The reason
given is that his appearance in the con
vention hall at the head of leading
delegation would be practical notice
that the Governor would be willing to
take the nomination If 1t came his way.
Under such circumstances Harrison's
friends would fight Mckinley from the
jump, and render the latter's nomina-
tion impossible, even if Harrison him
not intended to let the Mckinley boom
voting begins inside the convention
hall.
