We usually dread late cold spring, but where there has not been enough warm weather to swell the buds, as this season It is far more preferable. So far no fruits buds have been killed, and probably now will not be. This ought to mean large crop of peaches and should no unfavorable conditions arise of cherries. So much depends upon the weather at the time of apple blossom ing that no predictions can amount to anything.

 horses belonging to Peck & Lines, at-
 tempted to turn around while the team
 was trotting, and in a narrow place. In consequence of such carlessness the car riage was upset, the top smashed into
 kindling wood, pole broken, etc. The
 horses ran but were stopped just below the flat by Frank Cook. One of the young ladies, (who were from New Ha- ven), was dragged some distance and somewhat bruised. The wonder was that they were not all seriously injured Dr Stevens and family went to their as- sistance and hospitably entertained the young ladies till the gentlemen could
 borrow pole and right up everything :; then they started to return to Bridge port One of the young men was the | son of one of Bridgeport's wealthy resi- dents.

An Interesting Investigation Which the
Agricultural Department is Pursuing.
WASHINGTON, April 9L-Prof. II. W.
Wiley, the chemist of the agricultural
department, is conducting series of
vperiments to determine the fertility
of'th. ? typical soils of the United States
The ob1e. ct is to determine the ferti
lizey necessary to restore the fertility
of any soil, aud to save the farmers
the thousands annually spent for
fertilizers which do not meet
the necessities of the soil to
which they are applied. The
work was specially authorized by the
last session of congress. BY the help
of the agricultural stations in various
parts of the country the typical soils
of the various sections are being col
lected by persons competent to judge
them. The pots of soil experimental
upon will be photographed at stated
intervals so that evidence of the pro-
ductive qualities OF different classes of
fertilizers may be shown.

"Poor Cuba! The horrible condition
of affairs here is not realized by the

sugar season next month there will be
misery and famine. The sugar crop
has been far below the average
this year, and all of it will now be
subjected to the new United States
tariff on sugar 1t means much loss to
the planters, and, with the beginning
of the dead season. lasting from the
close of the sugar season until next
September, there will be no employ
ment for labor. 1t means idle hands,
white and negro, Such conditions can
not but add to the smoldering fires of
the rebellion"

SAN Francisco, April 24-Dr. How
ard, London physician of considera-
BILE prominence, who was the guest of
William Greer Harrison at the Bohe-
milan club recently declared that the
mystery of Jack the Ripper" was no
longer mystery among the scientific
men of London or the detectives of
Scotland Yard. He said that the assas-
sin was a medical man of high stand
ing and extensive practice. Shortly
before the beginning of the White
chapel murders he developed an I'M
natural mania for causing pain. Then
the Whitechapel murders filed London
with horror. The wife noticed that
on each occasion her husband was alb
sent. Finally she laid her suspicious
before medical friends, and the detec-
tives were called in and a complete
chain of evidence against the doctor
was secured. They then told him that
he was the maniac who had done all
the murders He declared the impossi-
bility of the accusation, but confessed
that of late years there were gaps in
the twenty-four hours of which he pos
lively had no recollection.
The necessary papers were made out
and the murderer was committed to an
insane asylum. Dr. Howard said also
that the physician butcher had become
a raving maniac after his incarcera-
ton in the asylum and was beyond
hope OF recovery three months after
his confinement.

HORSE CANNING.

Advicrs Report n Thousand Horses Sold to
Portland Ore, Paroles for Canning Pur-
poses.
PORTLAND, Ore, April 94.-Advices
from eastern Oregon are to the effect
that thousand horses had been sold
to Portland parties to be slaughtered
and the meat to be canned and offered
for sale, but who the parties are can
not be ascertained. Members of all
butchering firms in this city were
asked about the matter to-day, but all
denied having any knowledge of the
sale of the horses, or the purpose of
the parties to slaughter them for profit.
One of them had heard that there was
such a plan on foot. 1t is supposed
that the reports are correct.
