he put five pounds of this material around

The cost is insignificant. A thousand

of filings, which cost 81 per ton-$lO for
the ten-acre orchard. OF course this APP

supplement them in order to give a good

THE oDoRIFEROUs ONION.

We gather from cur eastern market re-
ports that the demand for old onions is

We do not wonder. The new onion is as
much the harbinger OF spring in the mar

beds and coddling, while the onion braves
the rigOrs OF the ScVcTest winter, growing

FROM t1dfperS t(Ound Table.
Robert Balm recently prevented a serious
accident in public school No. %, at Marion
near Jersey City. There were sounds of
panic from the room beneath his class
room, and no one can tell how many chill
dren might have been injured but for his
cool head and quick thinking He did
what any bright American boy should
have DONE hut what scarcely one boy In a
thousand would have done.
The lower floors of the Marion public
school are occupied by the classes Of the
primary department, and the top floor is
coupled by the grammar department. The
building is heated by steam. One of the
radiator valves was broken Off the other
day While waiting for a chance to re
pair the break the janitor carefully turned
of the steam at this radiator and fitted
tight wooden plug in place of the broken
valve. Some very foolish person, either
for the sake of a joke or from a habit
of meddling with things without asking
leave, turned on the steam. The radiator

A Sad Case.

Yesterday in Judge Miler's court there
was sad case of little white child, Alice
c. Mills by name, in which the depravity of
some unknown man was told, and an effort
was made to have the child cared for in
some institution. Who her father is the au-
thorties do not know, but rumor has it that
he is well-to-do man, who does not want
to be known in the case. An effort will be
made, however, to ascertain his identity
and whereabouts, and compel him to sup
port her. When but five years old she was
put in the Washington City Orphan Asylum,
and two years ago she was adopted by
man named Todd lately deceased and since
his death she has wandered about the
streets and lived the girl probably knows
not where. Mr.. Arthur Langley of Tenley-
town picked up the child as a matter of
charity, and escorted her back to the
asylum, where, because of her condition,
she was not received.
Agent Lewis Of the board of children's
guardians had charge Of the thirteen-year.
old girl yesterday, and it was stated that
a colored man is responsible for the ruin of
the Predetermined child.
Judge Miller said that this man should be
apprehended and punished to the extent of
the law, and advising the officers to make
thorough investigation, continued the case
until Saturday. The judge turned the child
over to Agent Lewis temporarily, as he said
she is in no fit condition to return to the
asylum.

STRUCK WITH A SPADE.
Bad Injury to Willard F. Holland
Yesterday.

Willard F. Holland. clerk in the Indian
office, who lives at No. All 1st street north
east was the victim yesterday afternoon of
:, serious assault committed by a colored
man, thought to be Albert Corbett The
murderous assault was committed in Mr..
Hollands front yard, and was witnessed by
his wife, who was so completely shocked
that she had to call neighbors to her
sistance. 1t appears that the colored man
had done some work about the garden for
Mr.. Holland, and had been paid in full for
his work. He promised to return during
the fall and put manure on the grass in the
front yard, for which he was to have been
paid an extra amount. Mr.. Holland waited
for him until last week, and then, thinking
Corbett had forgotten the work, called in
another man and had the work done Yes
terday Corbett appeared on the scene with
a load of manure and wanted to put the
fertilizer on the grass, but Mr.. Holland in
formed him that the work had been done,
and told him that nothing more was neces-
sary.
This did not satisfy the colored man, who
demanded pay for his trouble and when
Mr.. Holland refused to give him money he
showed fight. Before Mr.. Holland could
get out of the way the colored man threw
a spade at him, striking him on the head.
His derby hat lessened the force of the
blow, and doubt prevented instant
death. AS it was, serious injury was in
nicted, and the wounded man was uncon-
scious when picked up. He was taken into
his home, and Dr. Storch called TO attend
him. The doctor found an ugly cash in
Mr.. Hollands head, and, although the
wound is serious, he thinks the injured
man will recover

THE WOR.ZINGMI3N's LIBRARY.
Investigation shows That the Late
NnnGGer's Accounts Were Straight.


Managers Accounts Were Straight.
The first contribution OF new books for
the Workingmen's Library reached the
labor bureau, No. 600 18th street north
west, this morning. They comprise a COM
p!ete set of the reports of the United States
labor bureau. and We're the gift of Mr.. c.
H. Worden OF Painter5' Assembly.
The management Of the bureau and IL
brary have been advised of contemplated
donations of a large number Of volumes
from many different persons, but until the
bureau is in more commodious quarters
there will be no room to put the books
Mr.. C. A. Maiden, acting manager of the
bureau today told a Star reporter that he
thought the management will determine on
a building to be used for permanent
Headquarters at the next meeting of the
beard, which will be held January :. When
permanent offices are secured. and the
building occupied, there will be as many
rooms as necessary devoted to the uses of
the bureau, one of which will be a private
office for the manager.
Mr. Nader further said that the books
of the bureau we're kept in such an irregu-
lar manner previous to the time when Mr..
w. l.. Bailey took charge acting man
ager that it was impossible to tell with
any degree of certainty what the late man
ager had accomplished. hut they appeared
to show, he said, that more than hundred
persons have secured employment through
the agency of the bureau since IT was
opened.
Those who have been successful were, he
said, members of almost every mechanical
craft, and he felt sure that with careful
management the bureau will attain as
high degree of prosperity as its promoters
hoped for.
Mr.. Maiden also said that although the
financial accounts of Mr. Shenk We're much
mixed when the committee of investigation
be- gan to look into the matter, Mrs. Jennie
l.. Munroe, the treasurer, had succeeded IN
arriving at clear understanding of the
subject, and had so Strengthened out every
thing connected Herewith that the COM
mittee was satisfied that every cent re-
ceived by Mr.. Shenk for bureau purposes
had been properly accounted for.
