BURIED UNDER a BANK.-About S
o'clock this morning Mr.. Thomas Ter
rett, who is experimenting the repair
of the county road, drove his team UNI
der a gravel bank on Shutters Hill
for the purpose of loading it. Before
he started to work he noticed the bank
was about to cave in, and proceeded to
get under the wagon, not having time
to make his escape from the pit. Be-
fore he could get himself wholly shell.
cred under the wagon body the bank
tumbled in and almost covered him and
the team under an avalanche
of gravel and sand. Workmen who
were near by dug Mr.. Terrett out and
he was removed to his home where he
was attended by Drs. Gibson and
Slaughter. He was painfully though
not seriously hurt. The horses were
not much injured, though the wagon
was smashed. Had Mr.. Terrett not
used the wagon body for q shelter his
death would have been certain.

STRUCK Ely A TRAIN.-Wm. Leonard,
of Washington, young man about
twenty-three years of age, was picked
up on the Washington Southern road,
near Four Mile Run, Saturday, with a
fractured skull He was removed TO
Providence Hospital, and will die. 1t
is supposed that he was struck by a
passing train. Leonard is a cigar
maker by trade. Leonard left his home,
in Washington, on the morning of
March l, presumably to attend to his
business affairs, and had not been seen
or heard of by his relatives until he
was found by the railroad men Satur-
day. 1t is said by his friends that at
times he was mentally irresponsible,
and he is presumed to have wandered
away during an attack of this kind,
Leonard's relatives believe that he was
beating his way home on a freight
train, and fell or was knocked of, re-
ceiving the injuries which will prob
al ~ cause his death.

a Hot SUNDAY.-Old Sol began at
an early hour yesterday morning to
make his power felt hereabouts, and
in the afternoon the mercury in the
thermometer had climbed to 95e. Per-
spiration rolled off man and beast, and
most OF those who could remained
indoors or III the shade. In the after
noon refreshing shower fell. a heavy
cloud passed to the south and In the
Mount Vernon neighborhood there was
copious rain. More than the usual
number of people fed from the heat of
the city by taking the cars to Riverside
Park and the boats to the other river
resorts. The churches had Simmer
congregations than usual. The tenn
perature during the night was rather
too high for comfort.

Some of the things arc tribes" unless they

FRUIT BOYCOTT.
California Dealers Want Foreign
Fruits Shut Out.

California Dealers Want Foreign
Fruits Shut Out.
New YORK, Aug. S1.-The wholesale
and retail dealers in Smyrna figs have
forwarded petition to Washington
protesting against the communication
of Unitea States Consul Ernest, of
Smyrna, to Surgeon General Wyman, of
Washington, The dealers declare that
At is absurd to prohibit the importation
ct figs from Smyrna, because it is fact
that there are large c0nsignments on
the way which have been contracted for
by Western firms. These shipments
have been made prior to the cholera
scare. 1t was said i'll the mercantile
exchange today that a strong protest
had been sent from California to the
treasury department at Washington
against the importation OF all kinds of
dried fruits from foreign countries. 1t
reads as follows: 1--WE, the undersigned
citizens of the state of California, re-
spectfully direct your attention to the
fact that, while precautionary measures
have been taken by the United States
government to prevent the intro
duction Of cholera by steamships
and sailing vessels into this
country, no steps nave as YET
been taken toward Quarantining Span
ish vessels. with tarragona. almonds and
French prunes, now being shipped
hither from Europe" The petition
further declares that medical men who
have made a speciality of cholera assert
with great confidence that the importa-
tion of these articles is a menace to
the health of this country while cholera
exists. The large San Francisco houses
have, it is said, signed the protest, and
copies will be sent into the fruit-grow-
ing sections of the United States so as
to make it formidable document.
