Fall Top Dressing.

In reply to the query, ''Is fall top
dressing wasteful?' American Guilt
vator says:
There is no waste in spreading fresh
manure or that not composted on grass
lands in the fall Of the year unless they
are liable to be flooded. In the first
place. the fresh manure has no readily
available nitrogen to be wasted in any
way. It's soluble portions will be washed
by rains in among the grass roots, and
when spring comes, warming the soil,
this manure will decompose in contact
with it and be in the best position to
help the grass crop. There is usually on
grass land no wastage of rainwater
through the soil until spring, and. with
no available nitrogen in the soil, none
can be washed away.
1t is different, however, with well
rotted manure. That is largely avail
able nitrogen, and we should not like
to put that in the fall even on grass
land. English experiments show con-
siderable losses Of nitrogen in analyses
of water from underdrains where the
land above was fall manured with nj
trate Of Soda Fermented manure has
it's nitrogen very nearly if not quite as
soluble as has nitrate of soda. You can
keep the pile Of fresh manure under
cover during the winter, mix some phos.
phate with it and apply both when well
rotted to the grass land late in winter
without much danger Of loss. The ad-
vantage of winter composing is that
the manure will sooner begin to help
the grass crop or the crops that are
planted If tho grass is plowed under for
that purpose.

ACCIDENT NARROWLY AvERTED.
Express Train ON Consolidated Road De-
rallied.


Norwalk. Conn.,, October 27.-There
came very near being an awful calamity
at the South Norwalk draw bridge of the
Consolidated road this morning between
IL and 1 O'Clock.
The fast express, which makes it's first
stop in this city at midnight, left New
York at IL O'Clock. Leaving the South
Norwalk the train accelerated speed. The
drawbridge had just been opened. This
opened a switch and the train took to
the siding intended to derail in such
cases by running it into deep bed of
sand nnd bringing it to a standstill.
In this case, however, SO great was the
speed that the force of stopping the en-
gine as it ground its way into the sand,
threw it down a twenty foot EN- bank
ment, where 1t landed bottom side up.
The engineer and freman jumped, and
thus saved their lives. The baggage and
express car did not go down tho embank-
ment. The train separated from the
above two cars, and the passengers, who
got off to see what was the matter, at
first hardly realized the nature of the
accident. No one was hurt.

WILL BE NO WAR.
Sensational Report on Wall Street Put
Out for Stock Jobbing Purposes

Washington, October 27.-So far as
an be learned from the best sources of
information, the rumors pat in oircula-
tion on Wall street today as to the proba-
bility Of a warlike message from the
President on Cuban affairs and a pos
sible extra session of Congress, have NO
foundation in fact. and were set afont for
stock jobbing purposes only.
There have been anticipations that
Spain, failing to negotiate loan she is
trying to place on the European market
for further prosecution of war in Cuba,
might seek to provoke some antagonism,
short of actual war with the United
States, ID order to aliay exoitement at
home and give plausible reason for the
failure to suppress the Cuban rebellion.
This possibility. 1t is understood, was
discussed In cabinet meeting ten days
ago. There have been no new or startling
developments since, and mono are ex-
pected.
