The Fruit Crop.

Since the blossoms have shed, there 10
not the same assurance about the peach
crop there was at first. In fact many say
the crop is materially injured, especially
the yellow varieties. ID. j. Cummins OF
Clayton however says that whatever may
be the condition with Others the trees on
his farm are sufficiently full Of young
fruit.
Apple orchards have been we'll set with
good healthy bloom, and Indications
point to large apple crop here, and soma
varieties Of pears have very full setting
of young fruit
Berries of all kinds look woll, aud the
present bloom indicates large crop.
Black berries, when they have been
properly attended to, never gave better
promise than they do this season. This
Wilson plants winter killed badly. but
Early Harvest wintered we'll and are full
of bloom.
Peaches In some orch ards have apparent.
ly disappeared especially down the State.
while In others tho young fruit Is as Large
as Marrowfat peas.
In sections where there was full crop
last year the Trees arc reported as having
very few peaches-but this Is not univer-
saI-as from tho same sections the reports
vary from absolute failure to half
crop.
At Frederick warren Datny mas an
orchard of 2500 trees that will yield a full
crop, while Neighbour nearby will have
very few.
At Georgetown and Bridgeville a caro-
full examination of tho peach orchards
shows that the frosts killed about three
flfths of the buds of late varieties and one
half of the buds Of early varieties This
leaves fruit sufficient to make the crop
paying one, unless the buds which arc
alive are affected to such an extent as TO
cause the June crop to be abnormally
large, The apple crop promises to be the
largest for years.

THE MINE INVESTIGATION.
Miners Complain Against the InJus-
tice OF Company stores.


Clearfeld, Pa. May 1.-THE legisla-
tive investigating committee met In
the law library of the courthouse yes
terday. A number of miners were ex-
amined. The company store seems to
be their greatest grievance, and those
on the witness stand denounced 1t as
the greatest injustice with which they
have to contend. The company to
which Judge Dean belongs was de-
nounced in especially severe terms. A
number of miners testified that they
were forced to deal at the company
stores or lose their positions. One
miner said he had been discharged for
refucing to deal at these stores.
Mr.. Hedding. superintendent Of the
Morrisdale Coal company, was the only
operator present. He said his COM
pany did not discriminate against min
ers who did not deal at the company
store. He said the company bought
the best goods in the market and sold
them as cheap as the same goods could
be obtained elsewhere.
There is much suffering in this region
on account of the destitution caused
by lack of employment.
The first session in Scranton was not
a success, but through no fault of the
members, the subpoenas not having

New York, May 14.-Mrs. Arthur
Scroggs, her daughter Ena and a gov
erness, Miss Scoville, are speeding to
Europe on the American line steamship
st. Louis, for Southampton. They left
this port yesterday. Mrs. Scroggs be-
lieves implicitly that the body of her
sailor husband is on the vessel, but it
is not. Sealed in a metallic casket the
remains are in the morgue. They will
probably be buried in q day or 80 in
Potter's field.
Arthur Scroggs. 30 years old, who
was the owner and master of the
steamship Spinster, was swept over

New York right through to England.
There was some misunderstanding,
however, and the undertaken billed the
body to New York. 1t arrived in the
Grand Central depot last Monday, and
after remaining there for two days it
