BI-sULPHATE OF CARBON.
Prof. Childs Says It Is a Boon tt
Growers of Fruit Trees.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 12-The orchard
lists Of this valley are greatly interest
ed over the use of bi-sulphide of car
bon as a remedy against the worms in
their fruit trees. There have been some
statements that the bi-sulphide would
hurt the trees, but this is denied by
Professor c. w. Childs, a successful
orchardist, and formerly Principal of
the State Normal School here.
Professor Childs said this morning to
an Associated Press reporter:
Il wish that every fruit grower in the
State could know what boom we have
discovered in the use of the bi-sulphide
Of carbon. But for this the orchard
lists of the Santa Clara Valley had just
as well dig up their trees, for the
worms would destroy them all. They
have spread at an alarming rate, and
it has been astonishing to see their
ravages this season. / went to work
to experiment in a small way with the
bi-sulphide of carbon. During the last
few weeks 1 have applied this remedy
to more than thousand trees. Not
one of these has been injured in the
slightest, and every worm and all
larvae are destroyed. The discovery is
worth millions to the orchardists Of
California, and the knowledge of it
should be widely disseminated"

The Condemned Man Returned to His Old
Cell in Murderer's Row.
Much Discussion Among San jose
Lawyers as to What Effect the
Supreme Courts Decision Will
Have Upon the Case of Harvey
AIleuder.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.-In view
of the fact that the Supreme Court,
which is now in session at Sacramento,
will adjourn on Tuesday next until the
second Monday in January, it is not
considered probable that w. H. T. Dur
rant, the condemned murderer Of
Blanche Lamont, will expiate the crime
for which he was sentenced to be
hanged in December, 1895, during the
current year.
In the ordinary course of events, the
matter cannot come up for hearing up
on the points involved in the order
granting the certificate of probable
cause, to which the murderer owes his
second lease of life, until the middle of
January, even though the forwarding
of the remittitur from the Supreme
Court of the United States be expe-
dited.
After the case has been decided,
thirty days at least must Intervene be-
fore the remittitur from the State Su-
preme Court can reach the trial court,
and the condemned man be resentenced
for the second time. This course would
not allow the execution to take place
before the latter part of February or
the beginning of March next.
1t is possible that the Attorney-Gen
eral may apply to the Supreme Court
to advance the case and hear it as a
simple order, but this action is so un-
usual that few attorneys entertain the
suggestion as likely to be accomplished.
Meantime, Durrant has been removed
from the condemned cell and returned
to his old cell, No. 81, in Murderers'
Row, at San Quentin, where he will re-
main until the Supreme Court passes
upon the questions raised by his at
torneys.

APPROPRIATION BILLS.
THEIR PREPARATION TO BE-
GIN AT AN EARLY DATE.
Expected That at Least One, and
Probably Two, Will be Disposed
of Before Christmas.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Pit is the
intention of Chairman Cannon of the
Appropriations Committee of the House
to begin the preparation of appropri-
alton bills at the earliest possible date.
He has announced the appointment of
the subcommittee and those on the
pension and the legislative, executi 1e
and judicial bills have been called to
meet November 9th, a week in ad-
vance of the assembling of Congress.
AS the House is fully organized by
the appointment of all standing COM
mittees, it will be expected to get down
to business as soon as it re-asSembles
for the regular sessions on Monday, De-
cember 3D. Ordinarily 1t requires a
month to organize the House, and the
month Of December at the regular ses-
sion sees practically nothing in the WY
of legislation accomplished. But the
organization of the House at the spec
ial session this year will save valuable
time, and it is almost certain that AL
least one of the regular appropriation
bills and probably two will have been
passed before the Christmas recess is
taken.
Most of the members who have ar
rived express the opinion that the COM
ing session will be the shortest regular
long session of Congress in six Yeas.
Ordinarily the long session lasts from
six to ten months. Mr.. Hopkins Of
Illinois, one of the prominent Repuhli-
can leaders, predicts that Congress will
have completed its work and adjourned
before May 1st.
The subcommittee of the Appropria-
tions Committee announced by Chair
man Cannon to-day are as follows:

Mayor Hoos Writes a Sharp Letter
10 the Street Cleaning Contractor.


Jersey City pays $4,000 to have its
streets cleaned and everybody who has
inspected its thoroughfore says it is the
| dirtiest city in this section of the country
Occasionally, just of course before cleo
ton time, bluff is made at street
sweeping, and when the fight is over the
contractor goes quietly to sleep and leaves
the streets to be cleaned by the forces OF
nature, the wind and the rain. The con-
tract is awarded to Henry Byrne and a
fictitious individual named Cunningham
The first named gentleman is the head
and front of this offending. Over and
over again has his attention been called
to the disgraceful condition of the streets
but he is too busy doing other jobs to
think of Jersey City's streets, for which
he pockets $4,000 annually.
Mayor Hoos has become very sick OF
such shallyhallying with so important a
matter and this morning sent the follow
ing letter to Byrne:-
81 would call your attention to the con-
dltion of some of the asphalted streets in
the lower section of the city, and IN par
ticular to the streets about Hamilton
Park. The appearance of these streets
was anything but pleasing yesterday
Paper, gust and dirt abounGed, and every
gust of wind that greeted the pedestrian
covered him from head to foot with dust
and dirt. trust that | shall not have
to call your attention again to this mat
ter. After sweeping the streets the mer
ought to exercise more care in removing
the sweepings thoroughly. Generally toe
much time elapses between the sweeping
and the removal and as a result l have
noticed that half Of the dirt, ETC., is again
scattered by the winds before it can be
carried away
If within the course of a day or two nc
effort is made to show that the city Is
getting the value for its $40, ,O0O when Mr.
Byrne trips to get his warrant at the
City Hail he will hear the pleasant news
that it is hung up.''
