supposed to have decided post-election
interest:

Pa%rkersburg, ". Va, November a.
The day previous TO the election. Nicola
Bros. Lumber Co., Of Pittsburgh, sen,
a letter TO their superintendent. Geo.
Ecker, which was read to their en-
ployes, In which It was stated that in
case Mckinley was elected Ecker was to
contract for 400 'lockages of timber, bu;
IL Bryan won, no more timber was to be
bought. The mills shut down the day
before the election. and as yet have moi
started again. The employees are feeling
pretty blue. about It as there is no prom
Use as to when operations will be re-
sumed. As to the big contract for tim
Der, nothing more has been heard from
that.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. II, '96.
Wheeling Register.
Wheeling, W. Va. (
Our attention has been called to an
item from Parkersburg, ". Va. OF Nov
ember 18th, wherein 1t is stated that
The Nicola Bros. Company. of Pitts
burgh, have not kept their promises.
The statement Is entirely false. Our
mill has been shut down for repairs, and
not because of lack of business. We IRE
pleased to state thai after the election OF
Mckinley we were able TO get orders
that hitherto have been I'M
possible. Before the election we advised
our superintendent in case Mckinley
was elected to contract for 400 lockages
OF timber, and II Bryan. won we should
not want a single purchase. Since Nc
Rinley's election we have made the pur-
chases of the timber. Definite business
on hand IS sufficient to keep our mill
running for n considerable length of
time. Our employees are mo- feeling
blue about any conditions at NicoIette.
We trust you will be rs much interest

The works in question are at Nicol-

dispatch was printed because 1t was in
line with the Registers policy. The au-
thoritatIve denial from Pittsburgh was
not printed because to refuse to print 1t
was also in the line of the Registers
policy. The Register is not looking for
the truth-it is glad to allow whole
hecatonbs' of that to pass by. 1t Is
looking for some political points and does
not object seriously to being a party to
the manufacture OF the kind of lugubri-
GUS comfort contained in It's Parkers-

the best kind of Journalism, but it is the

Several cabinet states will go to pieces
in the break up OF this winter.
A Striking Difference.


There is one feature of the present
business condition in relation TO the tar
if which Is In striking contrast to the
business condition four years ago. Then
the election Of Mr.. Cleveland and a Con-
gress of his party made certain that the
tariff would be revised downward.
Now 1t is as certain that any revision
that comes will be upward. Then there
was a wholesome fear Of goods shrink
ing in the warehouse or on the shelves,
and manufacturers. jobbers and retail
ers had to have q care how they stocked
up. Now there is nj longer. danger of
any such shrlnkage from tariff revision.
The manufacturer who produces, or
the dealer who buys, ahead OF current
demand, has no fear of Congress driving
him into loss. If loss comes it will be
the result OF some other cause. This
feeling Of security means q great deal to
the business of the country and TO the
men and women who work for wages.

Tree Climbing Rabbits.

The London Field has an item that is
likely to call out a discussion among
English correspondents of that paper. A
man writes that "when shooting witt a
friend in Banffshire last December y
friend called out, There's a rabbit up
a treer' Sure enough one was there at
least ten feet from the ground. The tree
was an upright fir, and the man had
seen the rabbit run up the smooth bark
as easily as a squirrel The rabbit stop
ped ON the first branch to look down.
What is more, there is a lot of
blown timber in the wood, and sup
pose the rabbits have got accustomed to
climbing on it, for have often seen
them jump on to a root and run up the
slanting trunk till they were sometimes
10 feet from the ground, " which must
have been a dizzy height for an animal
of such ground habits
Corroborative letters will probably
come in, and rabbits will have an es-
tablished reputation as climbers. 1t is
said that in Australia the imported rab-
bits have begun to develop hooked
claws, with the aid Of which they are
able to climb the rabbit proof fences.
A large number of animals with hab-
its acquired because Of environment
have been noted from time to time
foxes that climb trees, rats that are
beasts of prey, birds that build nests
adapted to. certain conditions, and so
ON indefinitely.

Young Girls Throat Cut and Her Body
Thrown Into a Creek.
WASHINGTON, May 5.--Elsie Kreglo, a
white girl 16 years old, was murdered in
a ravine near the National Geological park.
The body was found in a small creek about
100 yards from the girls homo. Cries for
help were heard by the Kreglo family, and
a sister of the girl and colored boy rush
ed to the scene whence the cries proceeded.
They found Elsie standing in a creek Of
shallow water between two hills She had
been overcome by loss of blood and exhaus-
tion and fell back dead into the water be-
fore help arrived. The girls throat had
been gashed six times with knife.
The circumstances of the murder are
such as to make it one of peculiar atrooity.
The young victims clothes were partly
torn from her and strewn about for quite
a distance, showing that she had made a
desperate resistance against the attempts
of her assailants The pathway leading
to the bottom of the ravine was bespatter-
ed with blood, and the water in which she
was standing was red with 1t when she
was found. The affair has caused much
excitement A lady riding in the vicinity
about the time Of the murder saw a negro
running across the road just at that time,
and this, besides the finding Of pistol
near by, is the only clew. The Kreglo
family are industrious working people, and
the victim was one Of five sisters

SUNBURY, Pa. May 5.-Willism S. Ker-
setter, young farmer, shot and killed
his wife Caroline at this place. Kerset-
ter's mother was so shocked by the TRACE
dy that she fell dead from heart failure
while running to a neighbours house for
help.
The Kersetters lived on a farm near the
village of Seven Points, four miles from
here. The murderer shot his wife as she
stepped out of the kitchen door to a side
porch. A full charge of buckshot entered
her brain, and she died an hour afterward.
Coroner Shindel arrested Kersetter and
brought him to the county prison here.
Kersetter Is 25 years old, and his wife
was year younger They have one child,
10 months old. The babe was In its moth

old Mrs. KersetteI picked up the child and
started across the orchard, crying for help.
She had run but few yards when she
fell dead, the arms tightly olasped around
the baby. Kersetter was Ill with the grip
several months ago, and his mind was af-

PEACHES IN new ENGLAND.
Comparative Hardness and value Of DIFF
ferent Varieties.

Comparative Hardness and value Of Dif-
ferent Varieties.
Much has been said respecting the
comparative hardness of different vaYi-
eties of peaches and their value for. our
New England climate. The variety
most talked about for the past few years
by some nurserymen as being the most
hardy and profitable peach to plant in
this section is the Crosby. A corre-
spondent of The New England Home
stead, writing from Hampshire county,
Mass, reports a peach record for 18
years. He says:
In the spring Of 1885 1 planted be-
tween 100 and 200 Crosby peach trees,
with other varieties-Crawford Early
and Late and Old Nixon. The first fruit
produced by these trees was in 1891, FIVE
years from the time Of planting, when
each of the several varieties gave a good
crop. In 1899 the Crosby and Old Mix
on produced about one-fourth of full
crop of fruit, the other varieties nothing.
In 1898 each of the several varieties bore
good crop. In 1894 Crosby and Old
Nixon produced scattering fruit, other
kinds nothing. The past season all bore
we'll The condition of the fruit buds
Feb. 2S, 1896, was the same with all
varieties examined, including Crawford's
Early and Late, Crosby, Old Nixon and
MorrisWhite. No live buds were found.
From the above it can be seen that
the Crosby is more hardy than either
Crawford's Early or Late, but no more
hardy than Old Nixon. During the past
13 years Crawfords Early and Late
have produced in my orchard five full
crops-1 8S3, 1889, 1891, 1898, 1895.
Old Nixon has given seven full crops
1888, 1887, 1888, 1889, 1891, 1898, 1895
and two medium crops, 1899, 1894. The
lowest degree recorded by my tbermonn-
eter each season is as follows: 1888,
Jan. 23, degrees; 1887, Jan. 10, 22;
1888, Jan. 28, 22; 1889, 1891 and 1899,
no record, as was out of the statei
1898, Jan. II, IA; 1894, Dec. IA, and
1898, IA; 1895, Jan. 90, 12, and for
this present season of 1896, Feb. II, II
degrees below zero.
As a market fruit with me the Crosby
has not given satisfaction. 1t is under
sized and as a rule of poor color, and
when grown side by side with the Craw-
fords the fruit will not average but lit
tie if any better than good No. Craw-
ford. So unsatisfactory has been my
experience with the Crosby as a market
peach (having fruited it five different
seasons) that if 1 had young orchard
Of 1000 trees Of this variety / should
dig up every tree and reset the land
with Crawford's Early and Late. Old
Nixon and Elberta. If, on the other
hand, 1 was planting peaches for home
use, should always include the Crosby
in the list, as it is a yellow peach Of me-
dium size, good flavor and among the
most hardy. The Crosby and Old Nixon
1 consider the most hardy and reliable
of all the different varieties Of peaches
have had anything to do with. The
Crosby is one of the most reliable peaches
to grow for home use, but with me it
has been poor market fruit.

A Rural New Yorker correspondent
writes; Peas should be "ganged" on
plowed in about two inches deep. The
oats may then be sowed ON the surface
and narrowed or drilled. This will give
a far better crop than TO plant the peas
shallow, as is the usual practice. Sow
about q bushels of oats and bushel
of peas per acre. Use some stiff strawed
variety of oats, and the Canada field pea.
Cut with the mower and cure as for hay.
Since the pea vines will be full Of water,
they will need to be cured more than or
dinary hay. Peas and oats make most
excellent soiling crop. For winter feed.
ing one can get twice as much food per
acre for animals by raising corn instead
of oats and peas. True, the cost Of rails.
ing will be slightly more per acre with
the former than with the latter, but II
should be kept constantly in mind that
corn is the greatest of all grass and for.
age plants.

COLONEL NORTH DEAD
THE NITRATE KING PASSES AWAY
IN LONDON.

Apoplexy. Induced by Eating oysters and
Drinking Stout. Was the Cause-Left
an Estate Of $500, 600, ,oOO-The story OF
His Life.
LONDON, May 6.-Colonel John Thomas
North, known ss the Nitrate King, died
suddenly and under somewhat peculiar
circumstances at the offices Of the Nitrate
company In the Woolpack building In this
city. Colonel North was in apparently
good health and had attended meeting
Of the guano syndicate, after which he re-
turned to his private offices in the same
building. He had a drink with some
friends at a saloon in the same building
and then mounted the stairs in order TO
attend a meeting Of Nitrate company.
Prior to this meeting Colonel North ate a
dozen oysters and drank bottle Of stout
both of which were sent to him from a
neigbboring restaurant. Shortly after
ward he complained Of severe pains, call
ed for brandy. He drank some, but col
lapsed in his chair and expired soon after
Physicians were summoned almost imme-
diately after the colonel tainted but their
efforts were unavailing. An autopsy and
inquest will be held this afternoon. Mean
while the body, under police guard, will
remain In the room where the colonel
died until the end of the inquest.
The shells Of the oysters which he ate
were taken possession of by the police and
will be preserved until after an examina-
tion has been made to ascertain whether
the food was wholesome or contained any
