COLD SPRING. n. Y. Nov 5.-The
second session Of the coroners inquest
into the cause OF the death of the vic
Tins of the disaster on the New York
Central railroad near Garrisons on
Sunday. oct. "a, was held in the town
hall here last night. The most lmpor-
tant testimony. as tending to show what
caused the embankment to collapse and
the train to plunge into the river, was
given by Michael Glare. former sec
tion master.
Clare testified that the retaining wall
had fallen before and that the road
bed had given him considerable trouble.
as sometimes the outer rails would sink
below the surface line three or four
inches. His testimony was corroborated
to some extent by two former section
hands who had worked under him.
The only incident of the inquest that
bordered on the sensational was the
refusal of Coroner William T. Wood.
on the advice of District Attorney j..
Bennett Southard to permit counsel for
the New York Central railroad TO take
any part in the proceedings. After Mi
chael Glare had made his statement as
to the condition of the roadbed at the
time that he had charge Of 1t ID. w.
Tears of New York, who with Robert
F. Wilkinson of Poughkeepsie, repre-
sented the railroad company. wanted to
cross examine Glare for The purpose OF
showing that he was discharged by the
company for inebrlety, but the district
attorney interposed an objection, and
the coroner stated that the railroad
company's counsel would not be allow
ed to either question witnesses or TO
call witnesses TO testify.
The inquest was adjourned to Nov.
II at 7:30 p. m. .

FISH WITH NO TAIL.
Queer Discovery I'm IA Muddy Pool I'm
Devonshirc, England.

Queer Discovery I'm a Muddy Pool in
Devonshire, England.
A few weeks ago one Of the most ex-
traordinary fish ever known came to
light in Deyonshire, says the London
Rambler. 1t was a club. found in n
muddy pool, and certainly it was as
hideous a thing as one could well i'm
agine. 1t was Imprisoned in sort OF
cage formed of the roots of an elm
tree that projected under the water,
and it had evidently wormed its way
into this prison when quite small. Be
ing unable to find its way out, it had
been forced to grow in the shape of it's
cage instead of the natural form that
all club should take. With no room to
develop the fish's tail had disappeared
altogether, save for a little deformed
stump that had wedged its way be-
tween the roots of the tree. The back
fin had also vanished. for there was no
room for 1t to grow in. The whole
body of the luckless club was dis
torted and had grown into the gnarled
and twisted form of the root cage. The
scales were incrusted with mud and
arranged in layers, like roof states.
1t is puzzle to imagine how the fish
fed and lived during its growing years
in that watery prison, and what II did
when times were hard and no food
came by. 1t seemed eontented enough
and was certainly healthy and strong,
In spite Of Its distorted shape.

the pleasure of eating the game secured

PEACH TREE PESTS.
Professor johnson Reports on His Recent
Work In Maryland.

Prof. w. q. Johnson, State entomolgist,
has made report of his recent trip through
out the State. He says:
Many interesting observations have
been made in various sections of the State
during the prosecution of my inspection
work. One OF the most important on the
Eastern Shore was the discovery of IA new
disease in asparagus fields. My attention
was first called to it by T. Guy Woolford
of dorchester county, and it was also oh
served ny me in Caroline and Kent coun-
ties. Owing to the great economic i'm
portance of this subject the experiment

on the asparagus diseases, With recon-
mendations for their destruction.
ain Western Maryland, especially that
section above Hagerstown, | vas amazed
to find so many orchards infested with that
mysterious disease known as the vel ows.
1t is very much more common this season
than last, and predict that if the axe is
not used more freely in the mountain
orchard belt in the future than in the past,
the peach industry of that region will
rapidly decline. There is but one remedy
for trees affected with yellows, and that is
their immediate destruction when the first
symptoms of the disease appear. l also
noticed this same disease in many orchards
in Frederick, Carroll and Howard counties.
"The inspection work has also resulted
in the finding of many new localities for
the San Jose scale. The largest peach
orchard in the State was recently found to
be Infested with this ravenous pest The
orchard contains over %, 600 trees, about
$4,000 of which are lcafle.S and dead from
the attacks of this insect. The most of the
remaining trees are i'll suCl an unhealthy

condition they will all be pulled out and
burned this fall. The orchard was set out
the fall Of l"JJ aud the spring Of 1891.
Another orchard, consisting of $500 trees,
planted five years ago, was discovered last
week in very badly infested condition.
About 1000 trees are now dead, and the
balance so badly infested they cannot be
saved. In both instances these orchards
could have been saved if they had been
inspected shortly after the first trees showed
signs of disease. This scourge is usually
carried on few trees, which soon contami-
mates whole orchard or neighborhood If
tree dies the first, second, or even the
third year after it is set out in an orchard
careful examination should be made to
ascertain, if possible, what caused death.
If it is due to the San Jose scale, then the
other trees should be looked after without
delay. This pest has been definitely To-
Gated in II counties, and l am of the opn-
ion that it is every county at some point.
Any persons residing within the State who
have trees in sickly condition should
send twigs to my Office for examination. "

HORSES DROPPING DEAD.
Afflicted BY a Strdngc DISldsL Oh the
Eastern Shore and in 9th
Localities.

Alarm has been caused in several districts
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland by the
deaths of number of horses, as well as
hogs, from disease termed hog cholera.
The disease affecting the horses seems 10
be of type developing drowsiness and Il
loss of power in the muscular system,
which continues for two or three days the
animals becoming truly lethargc until, at
last, they drop and die in short, convuls-
i've struggle. Some are sliced with IA
stupor, and in twenty. four hours or less
drop down and die in commissions.
No treatment seems to prove Of any
value, for the horses treated die just the
same as those left alone In Kent county,
near Queenstown, number of horses have
died, and at present there is much trouble
in Anne Arundel county, at West River.
A farmer from West River paid DIR. Robt.
Ward visit yesterday, asking him to go
there for visit of investigation. DR.. Ward
referred him to State veterinarian but re-
marked that, should the State veterinarian
be unable to attend, Or his head inspector,
Secretary Charles W. Melville, who was
deeply engaged in hog cholera investiga-
tions DR.. Ward would try to leave his city
practice to do so.
Mr. Charles c. Wilson, of Queenstown,
has also written DR.. Ward that the horse
disease and hog cholera are causing trouble
in his locality.
These diseases, being what is termed in
digeuous, do not come under the head of
exotic diseases. Therefore, farmers have to
treat the animals themselves or employ a
veterinarian to do so.
Secretary Melville of the State live stool,
sanitary board returned Saturday from
Kent county, where he has been Investigate
ing the hog cholera epidemic Mr.. Mel
vile stated that he found at least seventeen
farms in and near Chestertown which were
affected by this disease.
He called upon the county commission
eIs aud explained to them the necessity CT
taking immediate steps to prevent the fur.
Their spread of this contagion He also ex.
planned the law, which directs that all cal
casses shall be buried, and insisted that the
board should see that the law was carried
out. He waited upon the local health
board and asked their assistance in the
matter.
Both the county commissioners and the
local health board assured the secretary
that they would do all in their power to
ward the stamping out Of the disease anG
the observance OF the law.
