BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Nov. l6.-The
examination before Justice Henry Of Con
duotor Scott, who was found guilty by
the coroner's jury Of criminal neglect,
which caused the Grand Trunk accident,
began yesterday. Switchman McCul-
Tough, the first witness, got mixed up,
and swore that he gave train No. the
main track before Engineer Wooley sig
nailed for 1t. At the coroucr's inquest he
said that Engineer Wooiey called for the
switch and he gave it &C. him. This testi-
mony will have a tendency to lessen the
responsibility Of Eu. Hetr Wooley aud
Conductor Scott for the accident.

big HAUL BY ROBBERS.
A Railroad Treasurer Relieved Of
Twenty Thousand Dollars
N A CROWDED OFFIOE BUILDINa.

Two Men Entered His Private once, Dis
abied Him BY blows with sandbag,
and Escaped before He Gould Give the
Alarm.
CHICAGO. Nov. IS John A. Drake, treas
urer Of the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa
Railroad company, was sandbagged and
robbed Of $4,000 in the office OF the com
pany, on the ninth floor Of the Rookery
building, yesterday. Mr. Drake had the
money in n little hand satchel, and was
preparing TO 20 out on the road TO pay the
employees. He had first placed the money
In the yalise, and was about TO leave the
ofice, when two men. stole up behind him
and felled him to the floor by several hard
blows on the head, presumably with a
sandbag. When he sank to the floor in
sensible they seized the precious hand bag
and successfully escaped into the street.
The treasurer was knocked nearly in
sensible, and ere he could move finger
10 defense he claims, the thieves tore the
aatohel from his hand and rushed out OF
the Office, slamming the door as they
went They rode down in an elevator
very unconcernedly and made their escape
A mail carrier, in passing Mr. brakes
Office, heard groans within, and upon
entering found the official lying upon the
door, bruised and in a semi-conscious con.
dition. Mr. Drake had evidently received
rough treatment. Big welts on his head
bore evidence of savage treatment. The
central station detectives were notified
and Inspector Shea put men TO work on
the case.
It was the most daring, sensational
robbery that has occurred in Chicago In
many years. Occurring ms it did IN one Of
the best known office buildings in the city,
right In the very heart of the business
district, the crime caused the greatest ex-
element. II has been the custom of the
treasurer to pay the employees Of the road
IN checks. Had the custom been contin
ued the startling robbery would not have
been attempted in all probability, but
within the past week the officials Of the
company decided to pay the men in cur
repoy.
From the story told by Treasurer Drake
n appears evident that the robbers knew
Of this trip change. In some way they
learned that Mir. Drake Intended to cal
at the Office TO get the money. They mus
have followed him into the building
around the north corridor Of the ninth
hoor, and waited until he lad secured th,
money from the vault.
The news OF the robbery created a bustl,
at the central station, the like Of which
has not been seen since Assassin Prender
CAST was brought there after shooting
Mayor Harrison. The police overhauleC
many suspects, and it is reported that de
tectives arrested two men at n depot whS
refused to give an account Of themselves
and that they were locked up at the cen
tral station. None of the officers woulC
admit that an arrest had been made.

HONEY r Q FRUITS.
Berries. Peaches, aud Grapes fnjured BY
the Ravages Of Beea.

Nectar in flowers is not honey. saws
4 writer in MeekaR's Monthly. This
nectar is gathered by the tongue of the
bee and enters what is called the honey
bag, from which it is regnrgitated by
the bee on its return 10 the hive and
deposited in the honey cell. Even then
it is thin and watery. and does not be-
come really honey until the watery
parts have evaporated. Ia collecting
the sweets the bees 10 not coniine
themselves wholly to the flowers.
The writer of this paragraph has for
a next neighbor a professional bee
keeper, whose bees depend almost
wholly on the flowers from the writer's
garden-that is TO cay, there are few
other flowers, except wild ones, on
which the bees can collect their mate
rial. Unfortunately for him they are
moi satisfied with the flower. but also
carry away the fruit. 1t is almost inn
possible in rasp berry time 10 get
enough from his garden TO make n re-
spectacle dish for the tea table; nearly
every berry is sucked to pieces before
II is absolutely ripe. 1t Is the same
with the grapes. In order to secure
them from the ravages of the bees they
have TO be protected by paper bags.
Last season, and for the first time, they
have been found to carry away peaches
also.
How they first penetrate the skin is
not clear, but it may possibly have
been from the puncture of the curculio.
The %curculio frequently cuts tue skin
without depositing the egg. and this
single break may be borne along with
out injury to the peach. permitting it
to ripen. 1t is possible that they get
= first entrance here. At any rate, cer-
tain it is That before the peach is fair
ly ripe little Is left OF the peach bat

wise complain OF the ravages Of the
bees. Bee keepers contend that this
cannot be; that the bee il incapable OF
perforatiug the fruit. This may or
may not be; certainly what perforations
might exist before the bees discovered
them would not injure the fruit. The
following up of this by the bees is just
rs bad as IL they made the original per-
forations for themselves.
