FRUITS AND TREES.
Those the Subjects Discussed by
Horticulturists Yesterday.

Yesterday morning and afternoon the
state horticultural society sessions were
given up to discussion OF apple growing
and other live fruits. Nearly ali of the
morning was spent in talking about
apples. The committee on apples re
ported, and e. c. Keel, of Rochester,
read paper on Hardy Apples
in the Northwest" The report showed
that the apple crop the past season was
the largest ever known In the state.
More attention is being given to apples
every year. Farmers are learning that
one acre of orchard yields more profit
than twenty acres of wheat. Southern
Minnesota offers the DeSl field in the
stale for apple culture. Some OF the
speakers thought Minnesota could be
made TO compete with the East III this
line of fruit culture.
PlumS and cherries were discussed in
the afternoon. Incidentally mach was
said about keeping birds away from the
fruit. superintendent of experiment
stations also reported in the afternoon.
These reports were technical, and ut IN
tprest to none but members OF the So
ciety.

subject. col }. II. Stevens, president
of the Minnesota Forestry association,

They May Re AetTied-Business Of
the District Court
1t was stated yesterday by interested
persons to GLOBE reporter that the
famous Selbart case, now on trial before
Judge L0chren in the Guaranty Loan
building, would probably never be con-
cluded. as arrangements begun long
time ago to TeorganiZe the road were
now very near contamination, and notice
of the completion Of the arrangements
was expected sany day, when the con-
testing interest would be bought up. At
the time New York parties first began
these arrangements the Rock Island
people, who held large interest in the
Minneapolis x ST. Louis, refused to 20
into the plan on the basis of so cents on
the dollar. Now, however, they think
they would prefer TO make some con-
cessiOns rather than have the ST. Louis
road sold under the hammer. and there
fore the reorganization OF the road is
very likely to take place.

ENGINEER FROZEN
While Running His Machine on
Pennsylvania koad.

JOHNsTOWN, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE worst
storm in many years has been raging
for about twenty hours past on the
mountains near Ebensburg. Last night
the passengers on the EbenSburg
branch train, which was drifted in, were
held there nearly all night IN the open
country, and many Of them nearly per-
lshed with cold. Engineer Cahen started
on return trip from CrOsson about 5
O'Clock, confident that he could take his
train through. But at Kaylor's, where
the Hastings road branches off. half
frozen switchman in the binding storm
turned the wrong switch, and the train
took the wrong track. 1t is stated that
10 provision had been made for pro-
tecting the engineer and fireman in
the cab, and that when the mis-
take was made the engineer had be-
come so frozen that he could not
handle his machine, and the fireman
ran the train back 10 the misplaced
switch. In the meantime the snow be
gan to pile OH the tracks so that the en-
CINE could not be pushed through, and
in an hour from the time that the train
was stalled the drifts had covered the
engine and smothered the drafts so that
the fires went out and the machine was
helpless.
The disabled engineer was taken to
coach and given the best treatment DOS

FATAL BLACK DAMP.
Twenty-Four Coal Miners S uffo-
Gated in Colorado.

Como, Colo, Jan. 1.-THE little town
of King, three miles from c mo, is a
place of mourning today. Yesterday
noon horrible accident occurred in the
Union Pacific mine, at this place, and
twenty-four workmen lost their lives.
The accident occurred just before noon
yesterday. and was caused by what
miners call a windy shot, The con-
cussiOn set free and circulated the black
damp. and almost instant death by
sutfOcatl0n of the twenty -four me II fol-
lowed.
OF the twenty-fOur victims of the dis
aSter twenty-one were Italians, one a
ScOtChman, ana two Americans. About
eight were married men. In the cham
Der of the mine where the accident Oc-
cured there were twenty-five men at
work, although more than Il hundred
were employed in the whole mine. The
single survivor was thrown forward
upon his face by the force of the eXpio-
sion, but WAS not seriously hurt. and,
scrambling over the PROSTATE bodies of
his fellows, he made his way to the sur
face. The noise OF the explosion was
heard in every part of the mine, and all
the men who were uninJured rushed To
the open air. There was Immediately
the widest excitement in the little
town, aud a rescuing party was quickly
organized. Foul gas still came from
che fatal chamber, but brave men were
not to be daunted by this in the work of
resCuing. into the chamber OF death
they hurried. and with great effort
brought out the tWenty-tOur bodies,
The scene when the rescning party
reached the place where the accident
had occurred was one of the utmost
horror. Lying in all sorts of positions,
with limbs and faces drawn and dis
tOrted 10y the agony of their death the
poor fellows were found. Some had
evidently been killed instantly by the
fatal blast, heir bodies being so burned
and blackened as TO be uprecOgnizable.
The scenes, as the mangled forms OF
husbands. fathers. brothers or lovers
were brought out and deposited upon
the frozen ground. beggars description.
That potion Of the mine in which the
accident occurred was promptly sealed
up by the proper authorities to await
the arrival OF the state inspector of coal
mines. The accident happened in the
Union Pacific coal mine, No. 5,
just as the miners in the sixth
level knocked off work for dinner. The
condition of the mine was such that
no one could 20 down until 80 D. M,
almost an hour after the explosion. The
coroner is holding an inquest and no
funeral arrangements will be made until
his work is completed. The damage to
the mine was slight, being confined to
the diSlOdgement OF few timbers.

A TU@ on the Ice.

Down in the lower bay and in the
vicinity of Sandy Hook We're immense
quantities of drifting ice. The Horse
Shoe was sOidly frozen over and no
part OF the bay was entirely free from
ice. Very few vessels reached port
today by the Sandy Hook route, and
some of those that wanted TO sail were
too solidly frozen to leave their
berths. During ali this time the vessels
lying helplessly off the Battery gave
signal after signal for assistance, bat
nothing could be done to move them,
and at nightfall many of them still re
main where they had been AT daybreak,
some. however. bad been shifted and
put out of danger. The steamship
lines along the North river front had
almost as hard rowing" as the ferry
companies. The Fall River line boat
City of Providence came in about four
hours late. After q severe battle with
the ice IN the sound, her captain was
disguised to find that he could not get
into his slip at the foot of Murray street
without assistance, and it took INN
about an hour to make a landing.
The Queerest experience of all was
that OF the big tug Beach. Shortly
after 2:45 O'Clock in the afternoon an
enormous ice foe several acres in
length broke lose in mass, which had
formed on the New York side of the
North river, and WAS starred with the
tide up the East river right in the
passage of the tug Beach, which was
going in the same direction with heavy
tow The captain was not inclined TO
let an ice foe change his course. and he
rammed into it with all the force OF
which his engines were capable. He
came with such rush that the
Beach ran on top of the ice in such a
manner that she could not get off again,
and the last seen of the Beach she was
being carried up stream, tow and all, by
the ice foe and blowing signals for
dear life

The Court Rule Alternately
Causes Trouble and Merriment.
The new mo trust" law of the county
still continues to make no end of trouble
for the clerk of the courts and the varI-
Gus attorneys. Several attorneys have

bill which shall make the clerks office
still a salaried one, but all money paid
IN as fees and otherwise, over and above
the stipulated salary, shall 20 to the
county, and attorneys shall be allowed
to have an open account. 1t will be 50
arranged by the proposed law that when
an account becomes due an attorney
cannot practice until it is paid. Con-
siderable merrlment WAS caused yeSter-
day by Attorney Frank Davis, who
was trying a case in the main court
room. Every time Frank called wit
ness he, literally obeYing the law, but
making no end of bookkeeping for the
clerk, stepped up to the clerk and paid
his witness fee of 10 cents, always in
pennies. Other attorneys say they are
going to do the same and have a little
fun on the side anyhow.

The second fire was On Nineteenth

occupant Of a little cottage, attempted
10 start a fire in the stove with gasoline,
and all explosion followed. The fire
was eXtinguished without serious loss.
Shortly after O'Clock the department

inches of ice, and the oyster industry
is at a standstill. Stock that is al
most worthless brings from 81 80 to
S1.75 bushel. All the packing houses
are closed. The ice embargo is the
heaviest for seventeen years. 1t is
feared that many of the dredgers who
have been frozen in miles from the
