NEW ENGLAND STORM.
Terrific Gales and Heavy Rainfall on tn,
Atlantic Coast.


Boston, Oct 13.-A wind and rain
storm which struck Boston shortly af
ter o'clock yesterday afternoon devel-
oped unexpected severity during the
night, and to-day the city has received
the worst drenching in many days. The
storm extends all along the New Eng
land coast north of Cape Cod. At Z
o'clock this morning the wind had
reached maximum Of fourty-four
miles an hour.
Up to 8 o'clock 800 inches of rain had
fallen in this city since yesterday noon,
which is more than the total rainfall
here since the first day of July. In
twelve hours 3.22 inches fell, which is
very near the record. The storm struck
the harbor and lower bay with the wind
blowing hard from the southeast. 1t
backed into the northeast at about 2
o'clock Sunday morning and gradually
increased to a violent gale, kicking up
a tremendous sea outside.
No very serious casualties, however,
had been reported up to sundOwn to-
day. The upper harbor is filled with
shipping and most of the vessels have
two anchors out. Some of them drag
ged during the day and in one or two
instances the assistance of tug was
necessary to bring them to place of
safety.

The richer the ground the less seed
needed. You can sow broadcast, but in
a dry season it is better to drill quite
deep, so the roots will be of uniform
depth and will hold the moisture. 1t
will be easier to harvest the crop II the
land roller is used once after sowing.
When two-thirds of the grains are
brown it is time to cut, which can be
done best with side-rake reaper, though
the binder can be used, leaving out the
twine, or can be cut with grain cradle.
AFTER cutting, roll the bundles care
fully and press the tops together, cone
shaped and set firmly on the ground.
In about a week or more of dry weather
1t will do to thresh. 1t is hauled from
the field directly to the separator, and
IL dry will thresh very easily. Care
must be taken not to have many spikes
in the concaves. as the grain cuts very
easily. Most threshermen have spe-
cial concave having about dozen
spikes for buckwheat The yield
per acre is anywhere from to
40 bushels, according to conditions
1t can hardly be classed as
paying crop every season. The
hot suns blight and early frosts
often kill or injure it; one season the
grasshoppers destroyed the crop, and
heavy rains are source of waste. A
bushel of dry buckwheat Will make
from 20 to 81 pounds Of flour. After
crop of buckwheat the ground is in
good condition for the succeeding crop,
as 1t will be mellow and generally free
from weeds.

FATAL TROLLEY ACCIDENT.

Car Runs Down a Steep Grade and Jumps
the Track.
Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 14.-By an acci-
dent last night on the Carnegie branch
OF the West End traction road, three
persons were killed and twelve or four
teen people badly injured.
The accident happened to car No. SO,
on the long hill coming to the West
End, on its way to Pittsburg. Just as
the car started down the heavy grade
the brake broke, and it was soon be-
yond the control Of the motorman. The
speed became terrific and when a sharp
curve over the foot of the hill was
reached the car made a wonderful leap
landing trucks uppermost in McCar-
thy's Run, six or eight feet below the
track grade. The accident occurred at
a lonely spot, and it was quite while
before assistance reached the sufferers,
who were wedged tightly in the wreck,
which was most complete.
After the car was beyond control the
motorman lay down on the floor and
advised the others to do the same. The
killed were found wedged under the
roof of the car which had been crushed
in on them.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
The vanderbilts Said to BE After . Line
to San francisco.

Chicago. Oct 14.-The Tribune says:
Ever since the famous traffic contract
was made between the Union Pacific
and the Chicago & Northwestern rail
road, whereby the former secured the
right to dictate the through rates from
the West to Chicago, and the latter the
through rates from Chicago to points
on tie Union Pacific west of Omaha
rumors have been current that the Van
derbilts would sooner or later secure
full control of the Union Pacific prop
erty. A plan for the reorganization of
the Union Pacific is now in course of
preparation and the preliminary steps
already taken indicate beyond a doubt
that when the Union Pacific gets out ot
the hands Of the receivers 1t will be
controlled and operated by the Chicago
4 Northwestern, which Is one of the
Vanderbilt roads.
The reorganization committee, which
has just been announced, has among
Its members Chauncey NJ. Depew, pres
ident of the New York Central, and
Marvin Hughitt, president of the Chi
cago Il Northwestern. These two able
lieutenants of the Vanderbilts will! no
doubt be able to control the other mem
bers of the committee, who are mostly
presidents of trust companies holding
Union Pacific securities. 1t is believed
the Vanderbilts now hold majority Of
the Union Pacific securities. At one
time Jay Gould held a controlling inter
est in the Union Pacific, and this, it is
said, has been absorbed by the Wander
bilts.
A deal is said to have been made
between George Gould and the Wander
bilts, whereby the former is to be given
control of the Kansas Pacific, which Is
to be operated by the Missouri Pacific.
while the latter will take the main liue
of the Union Pacific from Omaha west,
and make it a part of the Chicago y
Northwestern system.
With the Union Pacific in control of
the Chicago & Northwestern, the latter
will have a direct and Independent line
from Chicago through to Ogden and
Salt Lake, with a branch line to Den
yer. Should the Vanderbilts also he
able to keep the Oregon Short line in
the Union Pacific, they will have indie
pendent lines from New York through
to Portland, Oregon.
The most startling rumor which has
lately gained currency is that the Van
derbilts seek still further than the ac-
QUESTION Of the Union Pacific and the
Oregon Short line. Their great aim and
object is said to be the control of a line
through to San Francisco, and to gain
this end it is said they are now nego-
tlating with G. P. Huntington with a
view of securing control Of the Central
Pacific branch of the Southern Pacific

slips this month and pot them in leaf

plants than we have now, and 1t is all
due to our using the leaf mold" We
tried it first on our fuchsias, and it
worked like a charm. Heretofore we
have had no success whatever with our
fuchsias. We tried sandy 1oam dirt
mixed with manure, ETC., in fact we
tried everything recommended for
fuchsias, but all to no purpose, the
ground would bake. and smother the
roots or we would get it too wet and the
leaves would drop off. We were about
to give up in despair when we heard
of the leaf mold" We decided to try
1t as a last resort. So we took the
fuchsias from the old dirt, put them in
the nice fluffy mold, and l defy anyone
to show finer fuchsias than we have
now. We keep them in shady place

Friends of Japan Headed by the Kings
Father In Control-The King Is .
Prisoner,

New York, Oct. IA special to the
Herald from Seoul, Corea, says:
The palace was broken into on Tues
day morning by body Of Corean
troops and band of Japanese Soshi in
civilian dress. The colonel in command
Of the troops, on refusing to enter the
palace, was killed, and number of
the palace guards were slain.
The japanese entered the queens
room and killed the queen, the minister
Of the household and three women.
The bodies were taken outside and
burned.
The japanese troops were at the pal
ace, but took no part in the proceed
ings.
Tai Won Kun, the kings father,
reached the palace soon after the as
sault, and assumed the chief authority.
He Is now dictator and is known to
have been in the plot.
The Pro-Japanese party are in con-
troll. Many of the queens party have
been arrested and more have fed.
1t is believed that the queen dowager
was killed last night, and the king will
be forced to abdicate.
Guards from the United States war
snip 1OfRtOWn, ana husslan cruiser
at Chemulpo have been ordered up.
Great excitement prevails. 1t Is
thought that the butchery will hasten
action on the part of Russia.
A later dispatch says:
The plot to kill the queen was made
by Corean friends of Tai Won Kun
and an irresponsible Japanese Soshi.
The king is now prisoner and his
father has been proclaimed dictator. A
new cabinet has been constituted of
Pro-Japanese elements.
Appeals have been issued to the Co
reans to rise and expel the japanese.
A japanese Soshi has been arrested
for the murder of the queen.

describing a circle all the time. After
the horses have thoroughly packed the
ground the straw Is raked of and the
floor is leveled with large mall, then
swept with broom and allowed to

for use, and is nearly as hard as a
wood floor. This floor is usually about
fifty feet in diameter, although many
are much larger. The beans are then
hauled to the floor to the depth of about
three feet, and the horses put on the
same as when building the floor. The
vines have to be turned couple Of
times and shaken up, then tramped
again, when they will be clean. The
beans are screened by throwing them
up against the wind. They are usu-

and sell by the pound, the price rang

southwest portion of San Luis Obispo
county is devoted almost entirely to
this crop. and the yield runs from ten
to forty sacks per acre, and good bean
land readily sells for 5000 to $500 per
acre.

WON'T BE A PRIZE FIGHT.
Governor Clarke Says 1t May BE of An
other Kind.


other Kind.
Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 14.-'"There
may be fight in Hot Springs, but 1t
won't be prize fight" said Governor
Clarke to an Associated Press represen-
tative this afternoon. 81 earnestly hope
that extreme measures will not be nee
essary. I know these men, every one
Of them. and they are my friends, and
l should regret very much to be com
pelleh to adopt harsh measures, but the
law gives me authority and supplies
the means. and if the necessity arises 1
shall certainly prevent the fight at any
cost"
The governor finds that the law Of
1891 was not legally enacted, leaving
the state without law on the subject
Of prize fighting. The law Of 1888, in
his opinion, invests in the executive all
the authority necessary to carry out
the policy he has decided upon. Under
its operation, the governor is allowed
almost unlimited latitude and could de-
clare the district to be in rebellion
against the state, and could not only
drive out by force all the parties con-
cerned with the disturbance, but could
arrest and imprison without process Of
law.

A BIG STRIKE PENDING.
Trouble Imminent In the Ship Yards u
Belfast.

Belfast.
London, Oct. 12.-The threatened
shipping strike at Belfast will be big
affair unless trouble is soon averted.
The seat of the strike is at Belfast,
where the engineers are striking for
higher wages in view of improved
trade. The Belfast ship owners have
agreements with the Clyde, Tynside
and others on the north coast, requir-
ing the latter to shut out their own en-
gineers IL these men compel the Belfast
yards to close.
Yesterday 5000 men in the Harland
& Wolff and other yards at Belfast
struck work, and 1t is expected that
10000 men will shortly be idle. If the
Clyde yards close as expected, over
100, 900 workmen will be out of work,
and it is estimated that work will be
suspended on 105 vessels now building
in the Clyde yards, with an aggregate
tonnage Of 100000. Much anxiety pre-
walls about the Tyneside and northeast
coast, where stoppage of work will
mean the dismissal Of 10000 engineers.
