An Orange Wrapping and Sizing
Machine.
Machine.

We have received the folio wing COM
munication from Mr.. J. H. Goodbar, of
st. LOUIS, who is a Florida orange grove
owner, in reference to IN orange siz ng
and wrapping machine that he has in
vented.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:
[ shall have on the market in time for
1898 crop machine that will size and
wrap oranges at one operation, thereby
saving time and money to the grower.
1t is truly wonderful machine, yet SIM
Pile, and only requires one operator, runs
either by hand or power and is very
light, cheap and durable; sizes perfectly
and wraps better than by hand. By the
introduce ion Of this machine [ propose
to save the grove RS many thousands. L
simply give you this as an item of news
for the AGRICULTUR1sT, if you wish to
use it. j. HI. GOODBAR.

frost and cold.
Here at DeLand, with the mercury in
the neighborhood of 200, above zero
of course onions, beets, turnips, ruta-
bagas, carrots and cabbage plants went
through without injury from cold. This
mainly because it was steadily cold and
these vegetables were not in tender
growth.
But all these you may have in your
gardens here all winter and undoubtedly
much larger list of kindred plants.
Now, in all probability our winter is
over, or will be before seeds planted
now are up. Plant the whole list of gar
den vegetables, for home use, and plant
these for Northern markets-Irish pOta-
toes, cabbage, beets, peas and beans.
These can all be grown before much
competition from regions north of us is
developed and ought to pay, if marketed,
before June Goth and if the earlier, quick
growing sorts are planted in proper soil
and elevated locations, and stimulated
with best concentrated fertilizers, they
should pay the grower thisyear, as there
is a scarcity of potatoes and cabbage.
Plant plenty of seed such as onions, to-
matoes, cabbage, beans and beets. You
can thin without loss of time to the crop.
Beets are almost always too thinlypl
ted. Plant seed or two to every inch
of the drill. Plant deeper than in a
heavy soil, say from one to three inches
for the larger seeds-and be sure to firm
the earth by rolling. Better buy the
seeds from our Florida seedsmen, those
who have found the kinds adapted to
Florida soils and climate.
THE GROVE.
In view of the loss of foliage to the
orange trees occasioned by the freeze
of Jan. 18th it will be needful to use
fertilizer strong in foliage growing prop
critics, as tobacco stems, and grades of
concentrated fertilizers put up with that
object in view, to be followed in June
with bone and potash grade for fruit.
To be on the safe side [ would not ferti-
lie or stir the ground among young
trees till April, for have seen such trees
killed out right when fertilized in Feb
ruary with heavy March frost; this
because of very tender growing con-
dition.
In view of the great loss of fruit, this
winter I will here raise a question; can
not some sure system be found so as to
avoid taking such large risks? | would
suggest that before Dec. 25th one half of
the crop be picked and sent away and
of the remaining half have one half of it
picked and temporarily stored here at
home, leaving only one fourth on the
tree till April.
I think this can be done at cost very
much lie and with a loss of fruit infnit
essimal as compared with present losses.
Storage can be made here at home to
carry the fruit over the January freezes.
Temporary sheds made double, of rough
boards, say boarded up on each face of a
AKA scantling, and the space filled
with sawdust and possibly the roof
made the same, though this may not be
needed. Such sheds can be made
to keep out the cold and undoubtedly be
sufficiently cool to keep the fruiC till
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-02-15

better rot at home than after we have
been to the expense OF boxing and pay
ing freight on it. Have We not some
data as to how fruit keeps for month
or longer when carefully put up and
properly stored here at at home? Then
it will be said that the fruit is not ripe
in December. Well, possibly we can
hasten that somewhat by proper fertil-
izing, and ceasing work in the grove
earlier.
In future We should plant only the
early kinds, aud possibly we should re-
bud young trees to Foster, Tangerine
aud those kinds that are in demand early
in the season. Will some of our scien-
tific men and close observers in orange
culture tell us if pr, per feeding Of the
orange tree hastens or retards the ripen-
ing of the fruit?
THE LECONTE PEAR,
and it's needs at this season. PlOw or har-
row in good bone and potash fertilizer,
if the trees are wen or eight years old,
and have up to this time, received good
culture and proper feeding. Do not Gull
tivate them, but let them grow up to
grass and weeds, and NOW this an,
mulch the trees with it. This plan
tends to make short jointed wood and
develop fruit buds
Prune as little as possible. Where
limbs rub and crowd each other, cut out
very closely one or more branches,
then keep all sprouts rubbed off where
you have taken off branch.
Feed the peach tree we'll, with about
the same fertilizer as for the pear. Use
from ten to twenty lbs, per ton, then
the fruit will recommend itselfto the eve
and to the taste.
In connection with the good feeding of
the peach, | would prune or shorten
in the peach tree just after the crop is
harvested. Cut off one half of that
years growth. This process will produce
more fruiting wood.
The plum has fruited better without

1t is time to prune the vineyard, one

feet of the main stem. Those planted
two years cut back to about three

stakes (and [ think this plan just as
good as on trellises, and much cheaperd
besides you can work the vineyard both
ways with the horse,) should be cut
back to one foot of the main stem, and
cultivate more of the spurs for pruning.
Fertilize about pill 1st with bone meal,
two to four lbs. to the vine, covering all

1t Is with the deepest feelings OF regret
that those who have had occasion to trans

will learn that Captain Eugene T. Rhodes
is about to tender his resignation.
But they will also be pleased to learn
that lie Is about to embark In business

THE LoNSDALE FATALITY

First Suit For Damages Against the Con-
solidsted Road.
The suit os James Hamilton, admins
traitor on the estate OF Mary Hamilton,
against the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company, was begun
In the Supreme Court before Judge Til
inghast, at 2 p. m. yesterday. This is an
action emanating from the Lonsdale
fatality, and the plaintiff sues to recover
the sum of $4,000.
gJoseph Osfield, Jr., counsel for the
plaintiff, opened the case, and after stat
ing the circumstances fully, asked that
the jury be allowed to view the crossing
where the accident occurred. This was
objected to by counsel for the defend
ant, who contended that they had map,
showing the points required.
This Judge Cooke thought was a one.
sided view, and asked the court to direct
that the jury go and view the premises.
Judge Tillinghast thought the plaintiff
had better proceed with the testimony,
and he would determine later whether II
was within the jurisdiction OF the court to
order the jury to view the premises.
The examitation OF witnesses was then
begun and the story of the sad fate OF the
sleighing party was'told again. The case
was continued again this morning.

IL was well toward the middle of the
forenoon, and the leaders felt that the
matter must now be turned over to the
officers of the law. A council of war was
held, and the sheriffs decided that the
only way was TO call for volunteers, arm
them and send them in to take out Almy
dead or alive. Ex-Sherif Brigham an
nounced the decision to the crowd and
made call for 20 men. His ringing words
struck sympathetic chords and half the
required members stepped forward An
other appeal aud eight more came, and
then after liLtle delay
The Posse Was Complete.
Revolvers and ammunition were served
out, and the now fully armed board moved
forward with the determination to have
their man out or die in the attempt, The
orders were To shoot on sight At the same
time they advanced other armed men sur
rounded the buildings and guarded every
avenue of escape for the man around
whom the net Of capture was so closely
drawing.
As the posse, headed by the sheriff,
entered the middle barn, DIR. Hoffman
called loudly; "Almy, you must surrender,
for we are going to take you out, dead or
alive. We will guarantee you fair trial,
and also that no harm shall befall you
from the crowd"
There was no reply, and the party moved
TO another barn, and there the demand for
a surrender was repeated. This time there
was a reply, and then a parley with the
fugitive begun.
IL lasted several hours and during that
time Almy had talked with John Fuller
and County Solicitor Mitchell, whom he
sent for IL ended In the bringing from
the barn Of a pale and bleeding man. One
leg was helpless; one bullet had broken il
below the knee, while another lodged in
The thigh. Blood trickled from an ugly
wound along the scalp.
Sentenced TO Death.
Almy pleaded not guilty Aug 21, and
waived examination. On Nov. 10 follow
ing he retracted his plea and pleaded
guilty Of murder, thus throwing his case
Into the hands of the judges. Three days
afterward he was found guilty OF murder
In the first degree. Previous TO his con-
viction Counsel Burley made an able srgu-
ment for the prisoner, and said he had had
a fair trial. The murderer was then re-
moved from Plymouth 70 the state prison

AFRAID 70 go out alone The threat was
literally fulfilled.
Those few words represent the mystery
of two years of Frank &. Almy's diversified
career-the two years the officers have
never been unable TO unravel. and about
which the condemned would never speak
until long after the sentence of death was
pronounced upon him. 1t Is a portion Of
bis life history, but il lacks the sensational
element that is found in most Of the mans
remarkable career
The Murder.
The murder Of Christie Warden was one
Of the most atroGious crimes ever COM
mitted in New England
Picture TO yourself the pretty village of
Hanover, n. H., where Dartmouth college
nverlooks the country,a winding road that
sreeps in between hills dotted with farms,
and then winds down a steep hill into
meadow frinyed by underbrush, and you
will gather some idea of the scene Of the
tragedy.
About $50 o'clock on the evening of
July IL, 1891, Mrs. Andrew J. Warden, ac-
companied by her two daughters and a
friend, was slowly making her way home
ward along this deserted road. Mrs.
Warden and Miss Louisa f. Goodell, a
neighbor. were leading, and Christie War
den with her younger sister Fannie
brought up the rear.
Suddenly appeared the figure of man,
and as he stood In the roadway and faced
them IA chill of terror stole over their
hearts.
"Mrs Warden, you and Fanny may
move on with safety. shall not harm
you unless you interfere with mo-"
Then, turning to the sisters behind, the
younger of whom he apparently did not
recognize, he exclaimed:
Christie, have come 1000 miles to meet
you"
Thereupon the speaker drew from his
breast revolver, which he cooked, and as
the weaponclicked the frightened woman
saw the barrel shining in the moonlight.
1t was
Moment Of Horrible Suspense.
The four women stood petrified and the
stiffness was only broken by the stranger
saying in harsh, cold voice:
Mira Warden, you know me, believe.
am Frank Almy, and yoY have never
known me to break my word. Move on,
or / will shoot Move on, / sayp'
The mothers love was zoo strong to be
cowed down by such dangers. The lady
with her, however, ran up the road as fast
as she could go for 900 yards, and there
waited This made the mother falter,
and when she saw Almy walk up to
Christie and seize her by the arm she felt
IN instinct to hasten for aid.

Central Avenue Sewer workmen Making
Lots OF Trouble.
Since the beginning of the Central
avenue sewer there has been more or less
trouble on the View for gang of rather
rough characters have been employed and
they are not very particular how they
conduct themselves day or night. They
are mostly negroes and live mostly on
Branch street although some do reside on
the "Bowery," of Mill street, Central
Falls. The boss Is a white man OF pugi-
listic tendencies, 1t Is said, having once
been prize fighter and has engaged In
many battles In the ring. He Is the only
kind of man that can control them and
even he cannot when they have imbibed
too freely which is the rule rather than
the exception. There are two shifts,
night and day men, and when they are
of duty thsy are drinking. Az an evil
dence of the kind of men they are one has
only to recall the man arrested on High
street with two revolvers In his possession.
He was one of the gang. Nearly every
night Officer Jefiers, who Is OH a beat In
that vicinity, is called to quell a disturb
ance and only a few nights ago a small
riot was threatened because the boss dis
charged two OF the negroes. One of the
burly fellows said to the officer, referring
to the boss: "If you say 80 boss, l'il take
him of in de lots and lick him. He's q
good man, but / can do him." The resi-
dents of Branch street say that they do
not dare to come out after dark, espec-
tally the women, for fear of being insul-
ted or something worse. The police
should keep an eye on that crowd.

Opening Chapter OF the Tragedy.
Almy was evidently man of education,
some refinement, and very extensive read
ing, yet he would give no account of his
life when he came q wanderer to the
vicinity of Hanover and worked as an or
dnary farm hand. He became acquainted
with some Of the students at Dartmouth
college and surprised them by his classical
knowledge. The daughters Of Andrew II.
Warden. his employer, treated him with
unusual consideration on account of his
intelligence and refinement. Thus pleas
antly passed the autumn and winter of
1890 Then the mans evil nature began
TO show itself.
His temper was restrained only by con-
slant effort, and occasionally broke out
in fightful manifestations. He received
letters addressed to another name, and In
various ways seemed suspicious charac-
ter. Mr.. Warden therefore dismissed him,
and then IL was discovered that he had
importuned Christie TO marry him and
threatened her with death II she refused.
She declined TO tell all the facts and was
