Editor of the Sun.-Sir: The advertise
ment of greatly reduced prices for silver
ware, owing to the falling market for sill
yer bullion, by a famous firm of silver
smiths, who advertise in the Sun, has at
tracted considerable attention in this vi
entity, where solid silver table ware is
more generally used than elsewhere in the
United States.
From the early days of the Pilgrims
and Puritans the women of Massachu-
sets have set great store by silver table

Ihen the list of goods made included eigh-

boxes, candlesticks, and seals. To-day, a
maker who supplies the trade must have
as many as 1000 different articles for the
wants of jobbers and retailers
The consumption of bullion silver in the
industrial arts in the United States is
eighteen times the consumption in govern

by the United States treasury department
Manufacturing corporations in the table

tai to the business of making solid silver
ware. because the selling price of solid

These manufacturers anticipate lower
prices for silver bullion, and are holding
OFF from buying, knowing fun we'll that
silver can be mined and smelted and
landed In New York and Boston to sell
at 35 cents an ounce. At this price there
is profit for mine owners who possess
choice properties.

J. L. Hand one OF the largest fruit

The large Increase in the Florida acre

Melon blight has made its appearance

fields. This disease has caused the most
serious harm on fields which have been
planted a second time, and on lands which
have been fertilized with barnyard ma

The pear crop has been seriously injured
by blight and the expectations in the early
spring OF a full crop will not be realized.
The first peaches of the season were

Concord and Ives, and the vineyards there
are not to be eXcelled anywhere in the

perhaps a few days earlier. With the inn
proved financial condition, fruit growers
are justified in expecting remunerative re
turns this year.

DALFON's CAPTURE.
Chairman johnson of the Police
Board Put in "A Strange Light.

Atlanta, Ca, June 10.-A sensational
last week of Martin Dalton, wanted for
murder in Providence, r. l.. and for whom
there was a reward of $780, has just come
to the surface 1t involves the police au-
thorities in a trade with Horace Owens,
man we'll known to the police, who poses
as a private detective, being the same
person who was engaged by Lewis Red
wine, the Gate City Bank defaulter, to
help him to escape when he fed from the
bank.
as manager for Denver Ed Smith, the
pugilist, Drawing the police, and Horace
Owens, fell in with each other. Owens
told the man that he was a craftsman
himself and at last learned of the ProVi-
dence murder and the $500 reward in their
exchange of condolences. 1t was there
that Owens determined to deliver Dalton
up and get the $500, and he began CORE
spondence with detectives in Providence
Detective Parker of that place came here
to take the man back. In order to make
legal arrest, Owens applied to Chairman
Johnson, of the police board to be depu-
tized, Owens stating that the man was
Chairman johnson thought to do a turn
HIMSELF and putting Owens off, sent
squad OF police post haste to Owens house
to capture Dalton, but the raid failed
the man making his escape by a bold
dash. In this position Chairman johnson
and Chief Connolly signed a contract to
allow Owens the $500 reward, provided he
would bring Dalton within the clutches
of the police and allow them the credit
for the capture, which programme was
carried out.
The exposure of the transaction has
caused no end of comment and it is likely
that the price the police had for their
glory will prove dear in the end.

Do Not Arrive In Very Good Condition
at London.
LONDON, Sept. 6.-The sale of Califor-
MIA fruit brought over by the steamer
Paris at the Covent Garden Market to-
day was disappointing to the expectation
OF buyers The attendance yesterday,
when there was no sale because the fruit
did not arrive in time, was very large,
and this fact was due to the excellent
quality and condition of last week. S con-
signment.
To-day the number of buyers was as
large as was expected, but the fruit
offered was in bad condition. 1t is said
that the inferior grade of the fruit is duo
to the varying temperature of the steam
ers cold room, but il is more than likely
that it is the result OF picking too ripe
and bad packing.
Although there was no other fruit on
the market the prices continued low, be-
cause it was evident that this consign-
ment OF fruit was not equal in quality to
that of the previous week. For example,
out of lot of fifty-six boxes OF Bartlett
pears forty were thrown out as unstable,
and the remainder brought Is cd per box.
Beurre Hardys brought LIS per box. the
highest price vet obtained. Peaches
averaged Us per box. One lot that brought
IS a box atierward retailed at a soyer-
eign. Plu1ns brought the same prices
they have been previously bringing.
L.. A. Lathrop, United States Consul at
Bristol, who attended the sale, will re-
port TO the Agricultural Department in
California fruit here, reporting that a
radical improvement in the shipment is
demanded, otherwise California fruit will
fall into disfavor.

WORK OF AN INCENOIARY.
ATTEMPT TO BURN A HOUSE AT
SAN FRANCISCO
In Which Many People Were sleeping
discovery Made in Time to
Prevent Tragedy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-Nearly thirty
| people narrowly escaped being burned to
death In Howard-street lodging house
at an early hour this morning.
The lodging-house is kept by John
Mooney at LIS Howard. The fire was the
work of a desperate incendiary, who
planned to cut Oft every avenue of escape.
At $3.50 A. NJ. passer-by noticed flames
issuing from the doorway of Mooney's
house. He gave the alarm. When
the firemen arrived they found the fire
blazing in the side wall of the building,
and extending from the front door to a
point near the top of the stairway. The
flames were eXtinguisned by cutting into
the wall and flooding the space between
the inner and outer walls. The firemen
mad hardly done this when lively blaze
was discovered in a closet on the second
floor. The second fire was quickly eX-
tinguished, and the investigation which
followed demonstrated concluslvely that
deliberate attempt had been made to
burn the building.
At the top of the stairway hole had
been chopped into the sidewaH, and into
that the incendiary had poured kerosene,
saturating the interior space and forming
considerable pool on the first floor. He
| had also saturated number of old trunks
and rubbish in the closet on the second
| floor, and after applying the match at
! both places had closed all the doors and
taken his departure.
! The timely discovery OF the flames
prevented serious loss OF lite, for the fires
were SO placed that had they got fairly
under way every possible avenue OF es-
cape for the sleeping inmates would have
been cut of. AS 1t was, no one in the
house knew of the danger until after the
arrival OF the firemen. But the dodgers
III some of the rooms narrowly escaped
asphy xiation. They were dragged from
their beds and into the open air by the
tiremen, and were horror-stricken at the
narrowness of their escape
To-day abundant evidence of the in
cendiary character of the fire was OBJ
tanned, but there is no clew to the identity
of the firebug.
Mooney says he has no enemies who
would seek to be revenged upon him in
such desperate manner. He is upon
friendly terms with all his neighbors
The police are at a loss. They venture
the opinion that the fire was started by
some drunken vagrant who had no
special malice against the occupants of
the house. But the evident care eXer-
cised in placing the fires would seem to
dispose OF that theory. The effort to
burn the house. together with the occu-
pants, seems rather like the deliberate
conception of a hend than the act of a
drunken vagrant.

Testimony as to the Discovery of
Blanche LamOnt'S Body.
BLOOD STAINS ON THE STAIRS TO
THE BELFRY.
the Body From the Tower. and to
the Discovery of Part of the Grips
Clothing Secreted by the Murderer
In the Rafuers of the Top Floor.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 6.-The Durrant
case to-day was occupied with the Incl
dents connected with the discovery of the
dead body of Blanche Lamont in the
church tower on Easter Sunday. Patrol
man Riehl, who was assisting in the
search when the girls body was found,
testified that he discovered footprints in
the dust on the last three steps leading to
the top floor of the tower where the body
lay when discovered. He was singularly
reticent about the tracks, and spoke to no
one of his find. Neither did he make any
measurements. The footprints were no
doubt those of the murderer, but they
were obliterated by the morgue attaches
who entered the tower to get the body. or
they would have been useful in the iden-
tification of the murderer.
Riehl described blood stains on the first
floor of the belfry. There were also
marks in the dust on the stairs made by
the trailing skirts of the dead girl while
the murderer was carrying the body up
to the third landing.
The defenSe was particular in bringing
out these points apparently to fortity its
theory that the body OF the murdered
man of Durrant's physique would have
been unable to carry it.
The prosecution has evidence to show
that Blanche weighed less than l20
pounds, and that Durrant could easily
have carried the body to the spot where
1t was found. The other testimony to-
day was as to theremoval of the body
from the tower and to discovery Of that
part OF the murdered girls clothing
secreted by the murderer in the ralters of
the top floor.
Chas. q. Noble, uncle of Blanche,
while testifying to the removal of the re-
mains. was moved to tears. None of the
witnesses thus far produced noticed any
evidence of struggle anywhere in or
about the church tower.
The case this afternoon went over till
Tuesday, as Monday will be Admission
Day and legal holiday.
The defense to-day gave an idea Of the
long fight 1t will make by the announce
ment that it will put sixty witnesses on
the stand. The nature Of the testimony
they will give has not been revealed
