horticultural.

The December meeting of the Portage Co..
Horticultural Society was held one week ago
today. The meeting was held at the Cottage
Hip home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Harper,
they being assisted in entertaining the Soci-
ETY. by Mr.. and Mrs. D. R. King. Ample ar
rangements had been made for the pleasure
of the guests, not the least of which was the
rooms being finely decorated with evergreen
and bittersweet. To the evident qualification
of the entertainers, a large company was
present, more than 100 partaking of the ex-
cellent, well served dinner.
In marked contrast to the usual display,
no flowers or fruits were on exhibition.
At the business meeting, Secretary Wilson
read selection from recent bulletin of the
Ohio Experiment Station, in which they
recommend the following treatment for
strawberry beds two or three years old: I'M
mediately after picking ceases mowthe tops,
and after allowing them to dry few days.
burn them upon the bed. If heavily mulch
ed, rake the mulch between the rows before
burning. Immediately and frequently stir
the soil between the rows with the cultivator.
The same bulletin speaks quite faVorably of
the new "Portage' strawberry, originated
by Mr.. NJ. C. Hall, of Freedom Station.
A well written essay, by o. F. Haymaker,
on "The Comparative Progress of Agrical-
ture and Horticulture" was well received.
1t was followed by an interesting discussion,
participated in by Messrs. Wilson, Hinman,
Ford, Bartlett and others. The conclusion
which seemed to be reached was that the
general average of progress of this genera
ton is fully equal if not in advance of that
of any proceeding generation, and that the
progress in Agriculture and Horticulture has
fully kept pace with that in other lines, and
that the outlook for future progress is very
encouraging.

Jimmie Cunningham, who is en-
ployed at the Fifth avenue drug
store, went out for ride on his bicy-
Gle. and when on Seventh avenue and
Twenty-seventh street he ran into
an obstruction which caused him to
fall in such a way as to break his
left arm. He was taken to his home,
2436 Eighth avenue, where DIR. Hol-
lowbush attended him.
Mr. and Mrs. John M. Benefits A.
year-old-son, residing at 100 Thir-
tv-eighth street, met with a sad ac-
cident. which will MAIN the lit
tie fellow for life. He was playing
in the yard with his elder brother,
and the latter accidentally struck the
little ones hand with an AK. DIR.
Barth was summoned and found that
the three first fingers of the left hand
were SO badly lacerated that it was
necessary to amputate the index and
second fingers back of the first Joint.
1t is thought that the third finger can
be saved.

Hotel Change.

AS referred to in Tuesday eve
ning's ARGUS. the deal was finally
consummated yesterday afternoon by
which w. o. Negus becomes sole
proprietor of the Rock Island house,
c. W. Negus retiring. his health of
late demanding the change. Mr..
Negus has been very i'll during the
past few days, being at present con-
fined to his bed, at the botel. When
his health permits he will likely visit
the summer resorts of Michigan for a
short time. where he hopes to regain
his former strength, after which he
will return to Rock Island and enter
upon the active canvass in his cam
paign for sheriff. His retirement
from the management of the hotel is
significant of no change in the gen.
eral plan of conducting the hosiery,
which will deserve that liberal pat
ronage of the travelling public which
it has heretofore received.

AuCuStaua.

The 35th scolastic year opened YES
terday with appropriate exercises in
the college chapel. A large con-
course of students greeted the facul-
ties and officers of the institution.
The exercises of the morning were
conducted by President OLSON, who
in his genial way outlined in
the pleasantest manner, the
great work and correspondence
great responsibilities resting upon
the faculties and students as they en-
ter upon the discharge of their re-
spective duties. At the close of the
morning devotion. the educational
machinery was set in motion. The
attendance in the several depart
ments is about the same as that of
the corresponding period of last
year, with the exception of a gain in
the business college proper of about
2S per cent, while the shorthand
school shows an increase Of about
400 per cent over the corresponding
period of last year.
The new teachers. DIR. Elafson,
Prof. Larson and Miss wilkins, are
here and have assumed their duties
with hopeful anticipations. At 5
o'clock a reception was rendered for
mer and new students by the facul-
ties. After having partaken of re-
freshments, ETC.. on Zion hill. an adj
journment was taken to the college
chapel. where stirring addresses of
welcome and good cheer were made
by Drs. Lindberg. Bersell, and Lin
dahl and Prof. Udden and others.
Excellent music was rendered by
Profs. Griffith and Hall. The pro-
gram throughout was informal and
extemporaneous and was received
most enthusiastically by the grand
audience.

THE DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Further Discussion of the Repeal of Tia,
on State Bank Issue.

Further DfScusslon OF the Repeal of Tax
on State Bank Issue.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-On motion of
Moses, OF Georgia, bill was passed
granting pension to MSry Levins, the
widow of soldier Of the Indian war of
1877, now nearly 100 years of age and an
inmate of tue poorhouse in Carroll
county, Ga.
The House then, in committee OF tho
whole, proceeded to the further consid.
Grafton Of the bill to repeal the State
bank tax act, and then an unusual honor
was paid new mem Der when Mr.. Reed.
OF Maine. asked and obtained unanimous
consent for Mr. Islar to conclude his
remarks begun yesterday, and which he
was unable to conclude because tho time
allotted so him had expired.
At the conclusion of Izlar's remarks
Mr.. Enloe explained that the motion he
made yesterday to take up bills on the
private calendar was not made in an
tagonism to the pending bill, for he
was in favor Of its passage But he
made 1T because it WAS a proper motion
to be made on Friday, and because he
had understood that committees which
reported private bills had instructed
their chairmen to insist upon the con-
sideration of those measures on the day
set apart for them under the rules.
Seeing neither chairman present, he
had made the motion, but not in spirit
of antagonism to the bank tax repeal
bill.
Hall (Dem., Minn) was the next
speaker on the bank tax bill. lie said
that the plank in the Democratic plat
form calling for the repeal of the State
bank YAK must have been surreptitouslv
intoduced while the convention sat in
its hall, the thunders of Heaven boom.
ing and tho rain pouring through the
roof.
Hall was followed by Warner dem.
N. W q member of the committee
Warner said he was in favor of remov-
ing the Federal prohibition against
State bank currency. He VAS satisfied
that the aggregate amount Of the tenn
porary currency issuet by clearing
house association and others during the
last years panic, which was involved by
the bill, was far greater than could be
even approximately ascertained, demon
strsting the necessity for the proposed
legislation.
Warner concluded at 1925 o'clock and
was followed by Lester (Ga) He ar
gued that the laws imposing a 10 ger
cent. tax on State banks we're violative
OF individual and State rights and ought
to DO repealed.
AT the conclusion OF Testers remarks
Meyer dem Lay was recognized, and
addressed tho com mittee in favor Of the
repeal OF the tax Tho committee then
rose and the House at SEQ adjourned

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The House
condemnation of land in tho vicinity of
the Gettysburg battlefield was taken up
on motion of Hill and passed after
brief dsbate. The resolution offered
yesterday by Potter, for taking posses
sion Of and holding for public use the
coal beds OF the country, was taken up
and referred to the judiciary committee.
Then the resolution offered by Hill for
open sessions of the select com mittee on
the sugar trust investigate was laid
before the Senate and Hill spoke in It's
support.
AT 1920 a. m. the tariff bill was laid
before the Senate but Hill said he would
continue his remarks, availing himself
Of the latitude of debate authorized in
tho Senate. One of the points of inves.
tigation WAS whether the Secretary of
the Treasury had made suggestions
about the sugar schedule for the finance
committee. Was there anything, he
asked, 80 peculiar, so unpopular, so un-
precedented about that that the testi.
moDy in regard to it should not be taken
in broad daylight and in the presence of
the press and of the peopls?
Gray, tho chairman of she inves,iga-
ton committee, replied TO Hill that the
duty which had been assigned 20 the
committee WAS one which all its mem
bers would have been glad to avoid,
but the duty having been assigned to
Thorn they intended to perform 1t to the
best OF their ability and with the best
judgement that they could bring to 1t,
The personal inclination OF the com
mittee and their personal com fort would
have suggested tho throwing open Of
the doors OF the committee room while
conducting the investigation, but after
elaboration AMI discussion and care
full consideration OF the nature of the
duty imposed upon them, they had
como to the conclusion that for the
present at any rate, the end In view
could be better promoted by tho pro.
ceeding as they had done.
Lodge, member of the select CON-
mittee, defended it's action as one
which was for the prom osion of the ends
OF Justice; and declared that 1t was the
intention OF the committee to call be-
fore 10 everybody who could be sup
posed to be able to throw light upon the
subject.
Finally Gordon asked unanimous con-
sent to have o vote taken on the reso-
luton without further discussion OBJ
lection was made by Dolph. At the
close OF Dolph's remarks Gordon re.
neWed his suggestion, but objection was
made by Washburn.
Tho resolution therefore went over
without action and the considers ton of
the sugar schedule OF the tariff bill was
proceeded with. The bill WAS discussed
by several members and after short
executive session the Senate, at 5:55.
adjourned until 10 a. 10. Monday.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1894-06-03

NORFOLK, June 2.-The Norfolk base
ball team treated their friends from
Roanoke badly to-day, allowing them
to mako but two runs. while the homo
boys sent twenty eight men across the
plate and would have made more, but
they were actually tired OF running.
1t certainly was Waterloo for the
Magic Cityites, and after the fourth in.
ming they failed to send man home,
although on two occasions a runner
was on third, but the excellent team
work on the part Of Norfolk prevented
tallies.
NeviRs sprained his finger in the sec
ond inning in attempting to field q
batted ball, and Boyd was substituted.
The team then went all to pieces. Boyd
had "glass arm" and threw drop balls,
which the Seasides raped for one, two,
three and four baggers, Hager, the new
man, making two home run hits. Haupt-
man hit for two bags and three men
came home.
The run getting commenced in the
first inning. when Norfolk made two
runs, but Roanoke was shut out by
pretty double play by McCreery and
Lanser, retiring the side. Neither side
scored in the second, but in Noriolk's
third she batted out five runs, while
Roanoke, by hit and an error, tailed
once
The fun commenced in the home
teams fourth inning, when, with the
bases full, Harry Hsuptman stopped to
the front and raped the ball for two
bases, sending three mon in. One moro
run resulted in this inning, making
Norfolk's total runs.
Roanoke came in and made her second
aud last run of the game, but not SO
with the homo team. Snc made ono in
the fifth, one in the sixth and four in
the seventh, when Hauptman lifted the
ball over tho fonce for homo run. In
the eighth Norfolk had reached 90
runs, and during this inning Hager sent
the ball over the left fold fence, and re.
peatee the act in tho ninth, when the
Norfolls had piled UP % runs.
The back-stop work OF Daniel was the
feature of the visitors game. The in.
jury to Nevins' hand is not serious and
he will be able to play in few days.
Following is tho score:
