brought forward, and this time seriously

horticulturists as William Saunders, John
Saul and William R. SMITH lead to the
sudden employment Of a score or two of
men to go around and bore little holes In
all our beautiful trees and plug them up
with chunks of sulphur. This sulphur no.
ton Is nonsense. 1t has been exploded over
and over Any beginner in botany can tell
you quickly why it is useless. To get into
the circula ton of the tree the sulphur
would have to pass into the thin tissue on
the outer surface of the wood beneath the
bark, and known as the laburnum. The
sulphur placed in hole bored in the tree
would very little Of 1t. If any. get into this
circumference of the tree-so small and

ciable effect would ever be observed, If the
sulphur really had remedial quality 1t
Is barely possible that sulphur in large
quantities on the branches or on the ground
aro md the tree might, as 1t is effected by
the air and vola tilizes, produce a gas that
would cause the caterpillars some difficulty
in breathing. The expense would forbid its
use In this way. Who says that the trees
cannot be sprayed successfully? T.

Certainly not more than a dozen people
Of Benning failed to turn out last even
ing to either take part in or witness the
proceedings incident to the town hall dedi-

on behalf of its long list of earnest and
faithful members. 1 now declare this hall
opened for public gatherings and forever

RESISTED ARREST.
May Prove Serious Thing for
Battle Minor.


Battle Minor.
There was a case of aggravated assault
! in the eighth police precinct last night. the
| parties to the affair being Policeman Geo.
w. Greer and colored man named Battle
| Minor, the latter the driver of a private
express wagon. The affair happened near
| 18th and s streets about o'clock last even
ing, and both men are now in the hospital
under treatment for injuries received dur
| ing the struggle. The officer received by
| far the most serious injuries. and last night
1t was thought they might prove fatal
The officer sustained a number of severe
| bruises. two broken ribs, besides internal
injuries. There were also two severe cuts
| on his head, but his skull was not frac-
tured. Minor had two ugly cuts on his
head probably made with the policeman g
club
Minor was driving up and down 18th
street in a reckless manner, and the officer
| walked out in the street and called to him
consider yourself under arrest"
The man SO considered himself and start
ed with the policeman. He would probably
have gone without any trouble had not the
colored followers shouted, Don't CO." and
Mob him." Then stones were thrown.
and the prisoner took advantage of the en-
couragement given and proceeded to resist
In manner calculated to cause trouble.
There was struggle and the prisoner 8
friends took a hand, and the officer was
soon relieved of his club, and was then
beaten with it. Besides being clubbed he was
kicked and otherwise roughly handled
Notwithstanding this treatment the Off
Ger held TO his prisoner. While the strug-
gle was in progress the officer and the sew
eral colored men who were assaulting him
managed to get near Gardner's grocery
store. where some empty bottles We're also
brought into play. Two young men, Messrs.
Beiler and Prescott; went to the assistance
of the officer, and the patrol wagon was
summoned with the reserves from the po-
lice station. Battle Minor was the only one
of the colored men arrested, and he was so
badly disabled that he was taken. with the
officer. to Freedman's Hospital. This morn
ing both men showed signs of Improvement.
The officer was removed to Garfield Hos
pital and Minor, whose injuries are not as
bad as was thought last night, is still at
Freedmans.
Several arrests will probably be made be-
fore the officer is able to appear in court.
