view of charming beauty. 1t will be
sufficiently attractive to bring millions
Of visitors, and will provide a means
of advertising the business of eXhib-
itors in a most effective manner.
The railroads have subscribed liber-
ally towards the erection of the build
ings, and offer great inducements in
the way Of transportation of exhibits
and for visitors. There are 100000
people living within a nights ride of
Nashville. and the railroads will see
that large percentage of that popula-
ton is brought to Nashville besides the
many who will come from more remote
portions of the United States and from
foreign lands. The officers will give
careful attention to the interests of the
exhibitors. Special provision is made
for showing inventions and improve
ments, and. for the benefit of smaller
exhibitors who may be unable to attend
in person, the services of reliable men.
experienced in their respective depart
ments, can be relied upon. Although
not officially connected with the ex-
position they are Endorsed by the au-
thorities and will be under bond for the
faithful discharge of their duties.
These men will contract to receive, in
stall, care for and return exhibits, and
when requested will secure such at
tcndants as may be required. In this
way many valuable exhibits have al
ready been entered, and this arrange
ment Will secure hundreds of others
that have not previously been seen in
any exposition.
While space is free Cf the exhibit
shall be in place on opening day. the
director general reserves the right to
decline exhibits of any class which may
be already fully represented. Other
things being equal the first applicants
will be given the preference. Those
who are contemplating an exhibit
should apply at once, especially if a
large or prominent space is wanted.
The governors of more than 30 states
and the mayors of nearly all the prin-
cipal cities in the United States have
appointed commissioners, and many of
these have already arranged for public
and private exhibits, and there is a
spirit of rivalry in the greater cities of
the west and south, each city striving
70 out-do its business rivals of other
cities. The greatest enthusiasm has been
aroused in Cincinnati, Chicago, Louis
Vile and ST. Louis. and these cities and
their merchants will not only seek to
advertise their goods, so that they may
secure the trade of the south. but they

trains as well as the principal suburban
trains arriving and departing during
those hours. This will avoid delays,
which have been, at times, very annoy

than could have been maintained under

will frequently be distance of six
inches from the acorn. in this re-
spect the behavior of this species of
oak corresponds nearly with what is
almost universal in monocotyledonous
seeds. Another early sprouter is the
common white oak, Quercus alba.
These have not been known to sprout
on the tree, but they scarcely reach
the ground before the little radicle pre-
pares to enter the earth. 1t does not
wait to get to the surface of the earth
before doing this. On shelves or boxes
where there is some number of them
together the whole will be mass of
rotts a few weeks after gathering. On
the other hand, the nut of the burr oak,
Quercus macracarpa, will remain a
long time before showing any DISPOSE
ton to sprout. 1t is these varying
characteristics which make rules for
the transportation of seeds difficult
each kind has to have method of its
own. So far as the two oaks are con-
cerned, it has been found better to send
young plants long distances than the

two sets of double tracks. The floor is
corrugated, and the rails are polted to it
on steel tie plates. The trusses of the
draw-bridge span are GA feet high in
the center and 25 feet high at each end.
At the highest part of these trusses is
situated the engine house, which con-
tains two osci1lating double-cylinder
engines, which turn the draw and can
be worked together or separately, so
that if one should break down at any
time, the other can do the work.
From One Hundred and Thirty
eighth street south the four new tracks
run over the steel viaduct to One Hun

the stone viaduct to One Hundred and
Sixth street, where they strike the Level

VARIATIONS IN ACoRNS.
How the Great Oak Trees Take Root an
Grow.


Grow.
1t is said that in individual trees
scarcely two leaves can be found ex-
actly alike. What is true of leaves is
true of seeds-and indeed of every part
of tree. 1t is also true of the be-
havior of trees during their life career.
In acorns especially one may note 4
remarkable difference in their be-
havlor. Some species of acorn will pre-
serve their vital power without much
difficulty for couple of years, while
others can rarely be found with life
after few months. Some when put
into the earth will remain months be-
fore sprouting, while others will sprout
before they are fairly out of their cups
on the trees. The acorns of the live
oak of the south (Quercus vivens) often
sprout before they fall. The process
of termination is among the most re-
marEable of all American trees. The
root pushes out from the acorn to a
distance, OF many inches before it en-
tors the ground-the root then goes
into the earth while the bud or pulmule
ascends to form the incipient tree
trunk. The young tree of the live oak

more than $4,000, 200. The completion
of the new work will permit the open
ing of all cross streets under the rail
way and so permit a perfectly free
passage for street traffic.
One Hundred and Thirty-eighth
street, which has become great thor
oughfare, will be entirely free, as the
trains which heretofore crossed it at
grade will pass over it at an elevation
that will allow street cars and all traf-
fic perfect freedom. At One Hundred
and Twenty-ifth street the tracks will
cross the street IA feet above the level
Of the street, and at this point mag
7iiicent passenger station is to be built,
extending from One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth to One Hundred and
Twenty-siNth street, under the four
track viaduct.
This improvement will be of Immense
value to the entire state-in fact, to the
whole country--as the bridge, being so
high above the water, will never have to
be opened except when large steamers
or vessels with masts are to pass
through; all tugs, canal boats, barges,
etc, will have ample room to go under
the bridge while it is closed.
The Harlem river, having been de-
clared by congress ship canal, the sec
rotary of war has issued orders that all
tugs and barges shall joint their smoke
stacks and fiag-poles. to enable them
to pass under the bridge while it is
closed He has also ordered that the
bridge shall not be opened between the
hours of seven and ten o'clock in the
morning. and four and seven in the

Gentlemen Il have had the Page
Woven Wire Fence on my farm for
about eighteen months and am well
pleased with it. 1t has proved to be all
that is claimed for it. It turns all kinds
of stock and is as tight as it was the day
it was put up and has stood some severe
tests. A horse of one of my neighbors
fell across the fence few months ago
and was not taken off for several hours
but when taken off the fence went back
to its place all right with the exception
of few staples. During the storm Of
April Gath good-sized tree was blown
across the fence and bent it down to the
ground. As soon as the tree was cast
of the fence went up all right and was
as good as ever with the exception Of
one broken wire and few staples out

SIX MEN 60
DOWN TO JAIL.
They Must Await Developments in John
HalrS Case.
THE VICTIM SLOWLY IMPROVING.
1t is Believed the Police win be Able to
Convict at Least Three Of the Men who
Have Been Arrested Hall Informed
To-day For the First Time
That He Lost His Foot.

A great crowd Of men and boys was at
tracted to Justice Cardin's Office last night
when four Of the men arrested on suspicion
of being connected with the assault upon
John Hall were taken from the lookup to the
Justices Office to be arraigned on a charge of
yagmnoy. During the day Chief of Police
Tosh had visited the District Attorney Office
at Pottsville and consulted with Deputy
District Attorney Mclaughlin. The result
of the conference was decision to hold all
the suspected men pending further investi-
CATION and to have those unable to furnish
bail committed to Jail ON charges of vag-
raucy. When taken before Justice Cardin
last night the two Flynn brothers, William
Tallett, Patrick Stanton and Jacob
salinski, alias Suffolk Jake" gave bail
for their appearance when wanted. The
rest wero kept in the lookup for tho night
and this morning Policemen Foltz, Kester,
Goodman and Baltzer took them down to
Jail. The men committed are Matt Delaney,
James Woods, James Dougherty, William
Bradley, Joe Pickalosky and Thomas Sunder-
land. Another of the men arrested on sus-
picion, William Leahy, has been discharged
from custody.
In some quarters there have been some
murmurngs over the wholesale arrests that
have been made in connection with the case,
but it is quite apparent that the police had
some foundation for their work aud were not
scooping in men at random, Chief Of Police
TOsh is keeping pretty close mouth aud it
is impossible to CLEAN from him any direct in
formation as to the status of the case
There is reason TO believe, however, that he
has good playing card up his sleeve and if
he does not convict at least three Of the men
who have been arrested he will make it very
warm for them on the trial of the case and
show that he had excellent reasons for hold
ing them for trial.
A report was spread this morning that one
of the six men taken to jail had squealed
This is unfounded, but it is quite likely that
before many days pass one of the men in
custody win tell a very interesting story,
Hail. the victim of the outrage, is very
much improved to-day. He was SO weak
yesterday that Dr. Calen was somewhat ap-
prehensiye. but to-day the patient Is sboug
and cheerful and the doctor thinks the
chances for recovery are very good. Hall
did not know until to-day that he had lost his
foot. He knew the train had struck his feet
but did not realize the result. The inform
alton was given TO him gently by the physi-
clan In attendance and the patient received
it with admirable fOrtitude. He hadn't the
slightest idea that his injuries were so exteu-
sive. To-day he complained of soreness
about the abdomen and a pain at the back OF
the neck where he received the blows when
sand-bagged.
