Board fences look better and last better
when painted. and if the boards are dressed,
which costs but little if one is near a mill,
there is nothing better than the raw Iiuseed
oil and iron oxide paint, which is OF a pleas
ing, browuish red color, that matches we'll
with the green of the meadows or a lawn
and shrubbery. But for field fences a cheap
paint may be made of lime and common
soap. The lime is stacked in hot water, and
while hot the soap, cut into thin slices, il
dissolved in the liquid. To lessen the glar-
ing whiteness, common water lime is added
and stirred to make light gray, or lamp

The Spring is the best time to plant
peaches, and only the budded ones of the
preceding year are generally planted. This
tree wants lime mostly, and does best on
light, sandy but fertile soil. The light
soils deposited by the water, as on the PENN
sulas OF Delaware and Maryland and South
New Jersey, as well as In Michigan, on the
shore of the lake in the southwestern part
of that State, are the best-known localities
for this fruit. But while the tree requires
potash, literally applied, it seems to do best
with liberal applications of lime. As wood
ashes contain more lime than anything else,
this fertil ger would doubtless be useful

WAS DELIBERATE MURDER
James Brown Held for the Grand
Jury for Killing Henry Brown.
John Qualls Testified the Murderer
and Came Back With the Knife.

Coroner Hammett and q jury OF six
citizens held an inquest yesterday after
noon at Lieut.. KelIy's police station in the
Caseof James Brown, charged with tabbing
to death John Henry Brown, fellow col
ored laborer, as detailed in The Morning
Times yesterday. A verdict was rendered
holding James Brown for the action of the
grand jury on the charge of murder, and
lie was committed to Jail.
The accused was present, handcuffed to
John Qualls, colored, who was arrested by
sergt Dunnigan, andcharged with suspicion
as precautionary measure. The prisoners
were represented by Attorney Milton NJ.
Holland.
After The Evening Times report closed,
the story OF the tradegy was continued by
Witnesses Edwin s. Tracey, OF No. 1908

Parker. coloredd. OF No. 1903 First street

Frank T. Auldridge, who made the long and
thrilling chase after the prisoner in
milk wagon.
BY far the most important testimony
was that of Qualls, who had been arrested
on suspicion OF beng an accessory. The
evidence of the other witness sho wed that
he had acted the part of a peacema ker
throughout and he was released from Gus
tody by Coroner Hammett and the jury
and constituted a competent witness.

MRS. BEALL SUES FOR ALIMONY.

Leave Granted Her 10 File Her Bin
without Deposit.
Rachael Beall yesterday afternoonbrouSht a
suit for alimony against her husband, Charles
Bcan. of No. 252 Ninth street southeast.
The two were married on July 2S. 1856.
Six out of eleven children born to the couple
are living. The petitioner states that her
husband deserted her in 1886, and since
then has contributed little to her support.
He is the owner of nine houses on Ninth and
streets southeast, with rental of $50
per month, the petitioner stated.
After the bill had been read to him,
Judge McComas gave the wife leave to file
suit without deposit of costs, and granted

port that unless the matter was at once ad-
justed, he W ould not only suefor the amount
but bring action against him in equity.
In response to this ultimatum, Mr. Daven-
port teIegraphed that he had mailed $40
and would forward the remainder on the
succeeding day. which he did. Mr. Hen
sew considered it remarkable that man
holding Mr. Davenport's position, and OF
his reputed wealth should find it necessary
after four months delay to make two
bites of a $117 cherry.
MAY REPLEVIN THE GOODS.
AS the property OF Mr.. Davenport has
been seized under a simple distress warrant,
a usual proceeding without Judgment first
obtained, it may happen that it will be
replevined. There was no intimation OF
tins kind, however, yesterday from Mr..
Davenport or anyone representing him.
There were also to beexpccted attachments
by other creditors, but these did not
materialize.
Only enough OF Mr.. Davenports effects
has been levied on to satisfy the debt and
costs OF the proceedings. 1t is believed
that the auction value OF the goods taken
does not exceed $500, the whole value of
the furniture being between $1,000 ana
Sc 900. In the appraisement OF the
various articles yesterday, only cash and
not sentimental value was placed on any
particular effect. Pooks worth $3, 81
and SO were put down at from 10 to 20
cents, but there were not many OF this class
taken.
The house in which Mr.. Davenport lived
is said TO have been the scene OF several
political conferences frought with interest
to the Republican party. A great many
people who read the account or the seizure
OF the furniture for sosmall sum expressed
surprise that Mr. Davenport, if he were out
OF cash, could not easily have obtained
it from any one of his old-time beneficiaries.
