jured fruit considerably. The peach
bloom was very heavy and it is estimated
that the crop will be injured from % to 80
per cent.
West Virginia - Reports from nearly
every section of the State indicate that
early fruit crops of every kind have been
almost entirely destroyed. Peaches were
in full bloom and all are killed. It is
thought that there will be fair crop of
late apples, but the earlier varieties will
fail entirely. In Preston, large apple
growing county, there will scarcely be a
wagon load.
Manager Ackley of the Dudley (Ohio)
Fruit-growers Association reports that
the peach crop of Southeastern Ohio will
be an entire failure and that there will be
no apples of com m ercial value. Fruits OF
all kinds in that section are materially in
iured by the recent frosts.

Bliss is 10 be the business mems candi-

The news has created great sensation
here and many politicians refuse to believe
that Bliss would relinquish National as
pirations even for so great an honor as
being Mayor of Greater New York. His
alliance with Senator Plat shows that
Mckinley and Platt are now reconciled
and the warfare which Piatt threatened
against the administration has happily
been averted. The alliance is regarded as
a great political coup of Platt's. and as
tuie politicians here give him full credit
for the move.
