Fruit Crop Larger Than Usual.

Washington City. Aug. 1.-THE official
returns for August show that the pros
pective fruit crop of the country. taken
as whole, is much larger than for sew
eral years. The report follows:
Apples-The crop met with 10 serious
obstacles to development during the
month of July. The influences up
on which the proper maturity OF the crop
naturally depend have been so favorable
that very general increase in the index
figures have resulted. There are. how
ever some states in which the crop
promised is less than half the normal
product. This is the case in Maine, New
Hampshire. Vermont. Michigan and Wis
consin. the percentages ranging from IS
in Michigan TO 10 in Vermont.
Peaches-The average condition Of
peaches August ] is SS.3. against h23 in
1894. The prospective yield mas declined
heavily in Delaware, where about one
third the normal crop Is now indicated.
New Jersey has also suffered. the pei
centage falling IL points and resting now
at 81. Conditions in Connecticut and
Georgia respectively are 90 and 10. Mary
land hopes for a two-thirds crop, Virginia
something under that. A very short crop
is indicated for Ohio, and for Michigan
about half the normal product. C,i the
Pacific coast conditions approximate the
general average for the country. Much
complaint of dropping and rotting is
made, the latter especially in the South.

terpreted the language OF the lrahchise
that cars shall run at intervals OF every
half hour from a. m. TO 10 p. m. TO mean

present and stated that the strict com
pliance with the franchise required by the
council caused good deal of inconvem-
ence to a large part of the pubic ana
himself: that before the council ordered
the road to run according to the iran
chise he ran cars every hour from

Mount Jennings is named after Arthur

damages for the grading of Ballard av-

when the other property owners were glad
to pay sl25 lot four years ago. He OBJ
iected to the depth of the cut and got
permanent injunction against the remov-
al of his mound on the ground that tho
city gave him no opportunity TO prove
damages. The council has ever since
been striving TO remove the mountain and
make Mr. Jennings pay the cost, but
though he is willing to have 1t removed
he objects TO paving. About one-fourth
of the mound has been removed by the
West street railway company and another
fourth by the Stimson Mill Company, so
that il will cost only about $50 to remove
the remainder AS the cost of a suit would
be as much, the council favors removal
