Judge Magic, at Somerville, N.
j.. granted new trial to Joseph
Chalbi convicted of wife murder,
because two of the jurors made in
discreet remarks after the conviction
for murder in the first degree.
One juror was heard to say: 1t
makes no difference if he premedi-
tated murder or not, he killed her
and we will hang the Italian. An
other said: "Let him hang with the
rest and teach numbering Italians a
lesson. -
There was overwhelming proof
that Chalbi had killed his wife, but
no evidence had been adduced to
show that the crime was premedi-
tated
The prisoner then plead guilty to
murder in the second degree and
was sentenced to twenty years i'm
prisonment.

Be that as it may-At the close of
the meeting DR.. Shotwell proceeded
TO read-At a large and respectable
meeting of the voters of Pike county

this point Chairman Dewey said
"Dock, how do you make that out?"
"Why," said Dock, " You are large

To THE EDITOR OF THE PREss:-Demo-

supposed that would end the matter and
the people would decide on Nov. end. But
by what "H. " wrote last week we infer that

seem to be not satisfied with the Demo
cratic nominations. although the majori-
ties were large. Some object to giving

Cost of Cured Peaches

Otto Rohde, of Recdley. Fresno coun-
ty, estimates that It costs TO produce
peaces about as follows:
one acre of peach trees five years old
will have cost, proportionate outlay for
buildings and all other appurtenances
included, $3.50. The crops of the fourth
and fifth years will about cover running
expenses, at best pay interest also. The
peach trees after that will give about
ten more crops, hence the investment
ought to be repaid within that time.
From the sixth year there is say, an av-
erage annual yield OF one and one
quarter tons of cured fruit, which. at 8
cents per pound, are worth s125. From
this deduct 10 per cent for interest, S25;
10 pee cent fog sinking fund, S25; cost of
curing the one and one-quarter tons at
$40 per ton, $780, cost of pruning, spray
ing, cultivation and .fertilizing, s25-a
total of $125, and equaling the gross in
come. This shows cents per pound TO
be the cost price of cured peaches, and is
not stimulating to investment.
With a tariff on imported dried fruit
of cents a pound and an increased mar
ket east, by reason of a revival of busi-
ness, there is no reason to expect con-
tinuance of the low prices prevailing
during the past three years. With ou-
luscious cured peaches at ~ to cents,
which is not extravagant, peach grow
ing will again be profitable.

market as-opened; and up to the pres
ent time we have received consignments
from several of the largest and most i'm
/ portant producers in Riverside. The re-
suit from pecuniary point of view has
been satisfactory; but what is more i'm
portant is that the fruit has taken the
taste of the British consumer, and on all
sides the oranges are acknowledged to
be the finest that ever came to Great
Britain. Under the circumstances,
very much larger cons umption must
follow; and, as we hear on reliable au-
thority that the growth in California
Will increase in immense proportions,
we think that this market may be safely
looked upon as a good outlet. OF oour5e,
The prices here will depend to great ex-
tent on the quantities sent forward;
and the primary object OF the specula-
tor in California viii be to reduce his
eXpeEse as much SIS possible. We shall
be glad to keep you posted, If you Think
it is Of sufficient interest, by code as to
the prices on the London market, and
We are quite agreeable to do this a our
own expense.
Another point of Importance is the de-
velopment to a much larger extent than
hitherto, of the export of pears, peaches,
and plums during the months of July,
August and September. We have al
ways been OF the opinion that this bust
ness could be made success; and we are
glad to hear that stronger efforts are
to be better able to handle this partic-
ular class of fruit than any other firm
and We think exporters will before long
be convinced ef this. We mention that
we are not interested In the French pear
trad~-a very important business at that
period of the year-ard thus shall be able
to devote all our energies TO the Caliior-
MIA fruit.
Everyone here is looking forward TO
very satisfactory season, the Diamond
Jubilee of her majesty the queen bring
ing people from all parts of the world;
and it is only necessary for the Califor-
MIA fruit TO arrive good for high prices
to be obtained
We shall be glad to hear from you, and
remain Yours faithfully,
GARCIA IAHlRS & co.
