Cheyne but he could not get hearing, and amid
some confusion. the meeting broke up. the four
elders being declared elected by the pastor. Mr..
Dsbrow left the meeting expressing dissatisfaction
at the whole proceeding.
When spoken to yesterday about the matter In
his Office No. IS Warren-st, Mr.. Disbrow said that
there was nothing in his Intention TO leave the
church, for he lived now in New-Jersey, and ne
had told DR.. Wylie soon after the church moved

Distressing Accident at the Canning

Rocky Ford. The peeling room with its
80 industrious girls had been inspected.
of tomatoes hot bath to loosen the skin
packing department the Judge saw the
labels being attached with rapid move
ment, and the packing of cases in pro-
gress in large warehouse piled to the
ceiling with thousands OF filled cans
AS passing by the long table where Dave
kingery was engaged in the peculiar ro-
tary soldering process, the Judge walked
near to get a good view, Surrounding
this table was pool of tomato juice two
inches deep, caused by wiping off the
cans previous to soldering. AS the Judge
approached the table with that dignity
he knows SO well how to wear, his feet
slipped in the smooth lake OF surplus
juice. He fell. He fell hard. He fell
touching the floor to from head to foot.
Judge Hoffmire is man of comfortable
avoirdupois and the fall scattered the
diluted juice of the palatable and sana-
tory tomatoes all over the surrounding
operators, and some of the crimson spray
may have soiled the working dresses of
the girls in the adjacent peeling room.
To rise without turning over on his side
was impossible. The condition of the
Judges good clothes can be imagined.

Rocky Ford is not content with turn
ing off remarkable crops OF regulation
shaped cantaloupes but occasionally es-
says twins, as shown by specimens from
Ed. Swink and Prof. Bolles.
G. W. Swink is this year shipping
cantaloupes in better packages than ever
before, using crates holding As melons.
The shipments haye averaged 60 crates
daily during the season, but are dropping
off somewhat just now.
Commissioner Washburn boasts of
the adaptabilitE of the north side for bn po-
totoes out of one hill. just listen for
the Holbrook ditch country to come to
the front as rival Of Greeley.
W. R. Gibson, of Catlin, reports that
the large orchard set out last spring for
the Bent -Otero improvement Co., has done
splendidly. The trees have made re-
markable growth and scarcely any have
died. Mr.. Gibson has been practical
nurseryman in the east for number Of
years, and his observation there and in
the Arkansas valley justifies him in say
ing that an apple tree will in eight years
here attain size and bearing qualities
equal to fifteen -years-old tree in Miss
ouri and Illinois. The possibilities of the
valley for fruit culture on the largest
scale is just beginning to be compre-
hended.
T.. II. Van Orman, of Ordway, was

of that section have most prosperous

best wheat fields have yielded from 30 to
35 bushels per acre. Geo. N. Ordway
has been on his farm for the past three
weeks looking after the threshing. His
oats are unusually good, bushel as
measured at the machine Weighing Al

with his Holstein dairy at Cripple Creek,
