Hoods Pills SIX SIX Headache i tass i a5e. and
FRUIT DAMAGED BY FROST.
Discouraging Reports From Virginia,

Discouraging Reports From Virginia,
North Carolina and Maryland.
Norfolk, Va, April 22.-It is esti-
mated that the heavy frost yesterday
morning destroyed fruit and vegetables
in lower tidewater, Virginia and east
ern Carolina to the value of probably
a million dollars. Every class of truck
was greatly damaged. Potatoes were
set back 20 days, and beans, peas and
strawberries cut down to the earth.
On the eastern shore, in Aecomac and
Northampton counties, the frost was
blighting to Irish and sweet potatoes
and small fruits.
In several instances the farmers will
replant. Fruit suffered greatly, but
young tobacco is said to have gen
orally been saved by artificial means.
Ice formed in various places, and there
is so much frost in the ground that
truckers say the damage will be very
much greater unless a warm rain falls
soon.
Telegraphic advices received from
Greensboro, N. c., in the west and
Newberne trucking country in the east,
say that yesterdays frost was heavy,
and that fruit in both sections was
much injured, but damage to garden
truck was light.
Dispatches from all parts of Mary
land indicate that the recent cold snap
has played sad havoc with blossoming
fruit trees and vines. In the Maryland
and Delaware peninsula a careful in
vestigation shows that nine buds in ten
have persisted, trees nearest tidewater
suffering the least Advices from the
western counties of Maryland indicate
fruit crop injuries in but a slightly
lesser degree.

Bank Robbed. Cashier Murdered.

Somersworth, N. H., April 17.-While
resisting the entry of two desperate
and determined robbers, and during
heroic futile struggle to protect $780,
600 or more in money and securities in
the compartments of the open vault
of the Great Falls National bank, of
Somersworth, yesterday afternoon, the
cashier, Joseph A Stickney, was struck
down and brutally murdered near the
desk which he had occupied for years.
After killing Stickney the murderers
ransacked the vault and fled with all
the cash it contained, with the ex-
ception of IS gold piece. AS near as
can be estimated about $4,000 was
taken. Joseph E. Kelly, the profiigate
son of wealthy Massachusetts manu-
facturer, is under arrest in Montreal,
and has confessed.

closely.
Mr.. Pitzer. as Prosecuting Attor-
ney. keeps his side of the business
well up.
Mr.. Gerhardt, the new Clerk of
the Court, has shown himself thor
oughly' competent and efficient.
The outlook for the September
term is very favorable, either for an
increase of business or the trial of
old cases.
On the common law side The dock
ct is growing short, showing fall
ing off of business. Guess II will
pick up soon.
Sheriff Smith, with his corps Of
deputies are always around, watch
full, energetic, and at the same time
accommodating.
The trial of the Williamson case
was very interesting, but the verdict
was against the old man. Levi,
however, took care of the orphans
with the usual results of no thanks,
you had no business to be kind.
Altogether, this was very pleas
ant term and brought together ciii-
zens from all sections of the coun-
ty, who in interims had social con-

ARCHBISHOP RYAN'S JUBILEE.
Eminent C1ergymen Honor the Phila-

delphia Prelate's Celebration.
Philadelphia, April 22.-Yesterday,
the second day of the jubilee celebra-
ton in honor of the completion by
Archbishop Ryan of % years work in
the ministry, was marked by an inter-
est that seemed to be even more inten-
sified than that which was manifested
Tuesday. The ceremonies commenced
at 10 o'clock in the morning by the
celebration of pontificial mass in the
cathedral which was attended by a
vast congregation. The celebrants
were Archbishop Ryan, Cardinal Glib
bons and Papal Ablegate Martinelli.
Archbishop Hennessey, of Dubuque,
Ia, preached the sermon, and the adj
dress on behalf of the clergy was made
by the Rev. James F. Loughlin. There
were many distinguished clergymen
present from all sections of the coun-
try.
Following the services in the ca
thedral was the testimonial dinner to
the archbishop in the Academy of
Music. This was attended by nearly
all of the prominent clergymen, and
by very many of the more influential
laymen.
In the evening there was a great pa
rade, in which all the parishes par
ticipated. There were at least 10000
men in line. Colonel Edward Morrell
was chief marshal, assisted by go aids.

to lose, without paying tue rest, and
have other parties use the lumber.
As to the statement made concern

NJ. L. Yeakley and George Weber
met at a certain mans HOUSE in
Southwest Martinsburg and agreed
that they would take the lumber

A PITIABLE SPECTA Gle IN EU.
PODE

A PITIABLE iSPECTA Gle IN EU-
ROPE.
The so.called Christian powers of
Europe seem to have abaadoned all
right under christianity and are leav-
ing their christian brethren the poor
Greeks, to such civilization as the
Moslems and the sword affords. If
it was question of right, and not
might, ordinary people would un-
derstand these things. But Greece
has taken the right for christianity
and for humanity, therefore. the in
tention of the good people of all
chimes should aid little Greece in the
warfare now being waged by the
murderous Turks. Why is it, that
the great powers are inclined to per-
nit Turkish idolatry and the murder
of christians, especially the Armen-
ians and also the Albanians when
they could end the crescent for the
cross +? Why do they not send their
cruisers and soldiers and stop that,in
stead of sending them to blockade lit
tie Crete where the christians are? 1t
looks very little, from any standpoint
for these big nations, so called, to
make such interference and take
such guardianship against the right,
when they have overlooked and lax
en- no position against the wrong,
which these Turks are continually
doing. Isn't it a pitiable spectacle ?
