FRUIT ROT.

dies in a General Way.

Mccarthy Gives Causes and Keme-
dies in a General Way.
Mr.. EDIroR:-In reply to your COT
RESPONDENT. L R. Mason, of Winning
ton, which YOU refer to me, L peg
leave To sav that the term "frulC
which he mentions, Is u toe {
mite to enable me to prescribe aremedy.
Apples, pears, ounces, peaches,
and pIums all suffer more or less from
rot. All these diseases are caused by
attacks of microscopic parasitic fungi.
But the fungi which cause rot IN the
apple is very different from that which
affects the peach.
1t is likely, however, that MI.
Mason's fruit is the peach. Peach
rot is caused by the fungus called
moniliu f~ructig6na, which also at
tacks, but with less virulence, the
plum and cherry.
At this season very little can be &C
complished to save the peach crop, for
the disease has probably got such a
start that nothing can prevent its
spread so long as any fruit remains.
The spores of this disease live through
the winter in the withered and mum
mied fruit which remains attached to
the twigs, and also upon the pits of the
fruit which usually litter the ground
under the trees. It may also live in
the withered twigs on the trees, for the
so called "twig blight" is caused by
this same fungus.
AS to remedy, it must be chiefly
hygienic and preventive! The peach
foliage is extremely tender and very
intolerant of acid chemicals, such as
are used for fungicides. Mr.. Mason
can probably do no good by spraying
peach trees at this date. But he can
do much TO save his next crop by re
moving all withered fruit in the fall
and by cutting off all withered twigs
and burning these and all pits and
trash. This VIII destroy the greater
part Of the spores Of the fungus. \
fuller account Of the peach and its dls
eases will shortly be published by the
n. G. Experiment Station.
If Mr.. Mason's fruit is the apple,
spraying may still do some good, pro-
vided all rotten fruit is first gathered
and burnt. Then use the following
remedy:
Copper sulphate (olue stone) l pound
Fresh lime, 1pOund
MOlasses, l pint
Water, 10 gallons
Directions: Dissolve the blue stone
in one gallon of hot water, using a
wooden or earthen vessel. Stake the
lime in another vessel and rub until a
smooth cream is made. Stir this into
the moIasses, and then stir the mixture
into the blue stone solution. Lei il
stand for twelve hours or over nizh5-
Then dilute to ten gallons and use
Apply with any good sprayer having
a Vermoren nozzle, or dash it on the
trees with an old broom. If insects
are injuring the trees, one ounce Of
Paris green may be stirred into the
lime just before the lime is added TO
the molasses. This liquid is very i'd
herent to the foliage, and need not be
repeated for six weeks, if al all-after
this date.
IF I have not supplied MIR. Mason's
needs, let him write again and say just
what his fruit" is.
Respectfully,

Mr.. EDlTOR:-PIease inform me ana

he mean the little State Of North Caro-

politicians in this Pasquotank) county
that I want to know if he intends any
reflection on this mugwump, Hamil-

.. e. I mean the party that never had
a chance" If he does he must have
been informed by some n from this

three men Of school district No. II, two

The Annexation Question.

The petition of the people of the
Points and Birvanton to be annexed to
Freeland borough, which was approved
by the grand jury some time ago, was
confirmed absolutely on Thursday after
noon by the court. Ed. A. Lynch, ESQ.,,

debtedness of the township and borough
and apportion the debt between the
two.
The parts applying for annexation, as
given in the petition, are as follows:
That portion of Woodside addition
bounded by the alley east of Adams
street on the east, the right of way of
the Lehigh Valley Company on the
south, the alley west of Ridge and part
of the alley west of Centre street on the
west, and the southern boundary of the
borough on the north; also that portion
of Burton's Hill bounded north by the
lands of the Aaron Howey estate, east

John Sotak, Hungarian from High
land, came to town on Saturday evening
and purchased revolver and box of
cartridges. Before he left here he got
outside of lot of bad whiskey and on
his return to the boarding house made
an effort to clean it out.
The first to claim his attention was
George Walauchic and his son. They
were driven out of the house into the
brush at the point of the pistol, but John
was finally overpowered by the boarding

Mclaughlin Sentenced.

James Mclaughlin, the Pittston saloon
keeper, who was convicted on April 2S
of manslaughter in the killing of James
Gilmartin, was sentenced on Friday.
Just before sentence was pronounced
McLaughlin's attorney, w. H. McCart-
ney, reviewed the favorable points as
brought out in the trial of the case and
strongly urged the plea of self defense.
He closed with a request for judicial
clemency.
Judge Lynch refused to take that view
of the case and thereupon imposed sem
tence, which is that Mclaughlin pay a
fine of $500, the costs of prosecution and
undergo an imprisonment of five years
and six calendar months in the eastern
penitentiary.

Strike on the Lehigh Valley.

President Wilbur, of the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad Company, replied to the
letter of the grievance committee of the
employees on Friday declining to confer
with it relative to the difference existing
between the company and its employees.
His ground for refusal is that the mem
bers of the committee are not employees
of the road and that he will deal with no
one else when their rights are effected.
He states the policy of the management
has always been to deal directly and
only with its employees.
The letter was surprise to the COM
mittee, and after using all efforts to
obtain an interview to place before the
management the grievances OF the men
strike was ordered at 10 o'clock on
Saturday night on the main line. The
employees do not all belong to the rail-
road orders, but enough went out to
seriously interfere with traffic. 1t is
thought there are about 1900 men on
strike.
AS yet there is no trouble on this divi-
sion of the road. The coal branches
were not called out, and trains are
morning with their accustomed regularity
this side of White Haven. Above and
below that place, however, the employees
are nearly all out, and the officials are
bringing railroaders from distant points
to fill their places.

of going around stealing coal and hay
