Corcoran Stables Burned.-Rockville

COrcOran Stables Burned Rockville
last Sunday evening made narrow escape
from big confagration. Between and 7
o'clock flames were seen issuing from the
stables in the rear of the Corcoran Hotel
and an alarm was given, which soon brought
large crowd to the scene. Those who were
on the ground first succeeded in getting out
of the buildings the horses, vehicles and
other articles. The fire originated in the up
per part of the stable, which was filled with
hay and straw, and soon the entire structure
was mass of flames. There were in close
proximity to the fire number of frame
buildings, and two of these were on fire at
the same time.
Some delay occurred in making connec-
ton with the nearest fire plug, but when
this was finally accomplished the flames
were soon under control, and the adjacent
buildings were saved, though in a some
what damaged condition.
Within few yards the fire was the large
carriage factory of Mr.. s. b. Haney, two
dwelling houses and the Corcoran Hotel, all
frame structures, the latter one of the largest
buildings in the town. At one time it looked
as if nothing could save them, and with
them large portion OF that section of the
town was endangered
The loss by the burning of the stables and
injury to adjacent buildings will amount to
about 81 200, upon which there was par
tial insurance. This is the third ire that
has occurred upon these premises within
the past few years, in each of which the
stables were destroyed.
Mr.. Haney will sustain considerable loss
from the flooding of his establishment and
the hasty removal of a large number of fine
carriages and buggies to place of safety.
This fire demonstrated in marked de-
gree the efficiency of the fire department
and the water works, which have been in
existence but few months. The origin of
the fire is unknown. The buildings had
been closed for the night short time be-
fore the flames appeared.
Mrs. Emma V. Carr, proprietress of the
Corcoran hotel, returns her sincere thanks
to all who aided in saving her property from
further destruction by the flames

BEST AGE FOR FRUIT TREES For
TRANsPLANTING.-The beginner in
pomologN is apt to misled by the ad-
vertisements Of the nursery men who
price their stock, not so much for the
real value of the plants as for the cost
of growing them.
On this account they quote two and
three year old trees and vines higher
than one year plants.
The purchaser is also misled by the
impression that the older trees will
hear fruit in shorter time than will
the younger.
The experience of practical growers
teaches just the contrary. The young
er trees has its root surface and espe-
cially the fibrous roots, which are the
principal feeding surfaces, less dis
turbed in removing it than the older
one, and not only outgrows its older
companion, but bears fruit just as ear
ly. Besides, the young tree has not
become misshapen in the crowded
nursery row and hence can be started
Off in better shape than the older one.
We therefore advise our readers to
buy young, well grown, one year trees

POTATO EXPERIMENT.-T. B. Ter
ry, of Ohio, made an interesting ex-
pertinent with u potato this year. This
potato he cut into "a pieces, each
piece having one-sixth of an eye. The
pieces were planted in "a hills 3S inches
apart each way. The land was clover
sod, the planting being done late, after
a crop of clover had been cut, and the
crop suffered from lack of moisture,
but by the time the potatoes had ma
tured the vines covered the ground,
and from an exact square rod the
yield was over five pecks of large
tubers, at the rate of 200 bushels per
acre. Mr.. Terry does not recommend
the use of one-sixth of an eye in plant.
ing, but he thinks that one eye to
hill is sufficient; his experiment
ought to prove this. He says only
potatoes of strong vitality would be
capable of making such yield as his
potato made.

APPLICATIONS OF WATER.-The
chronological Journal gives the fol-
lowing useful hints on the applications
of water in the severe attacks of ILL
ness. The adult members of Il family
should keep them in mind for an
emergency.
A strip of flannel or a soft napkin,
folded lengthwise and dipped in hot
water, and wrung out, and then ap'
piled around the neck of child that
has the Group, will usually bring re-
lief in few minutes.
A proper towel folded several times
and dipped in hot water, quickly
wrung and applied over the site Of
toothache or neuralgia will generally
afford prompt relief. This treatment
for collie has been found to work like
magic.
Nothing so promptly cuts short a
congestion of the lungs, sore throat or
rheumatism as hot water when applied
early in the case and thoroughly.
Hot water taken freely half an hour
before bed time is an excellent cathart-
ic in case Of constipation, while it has
a sooting effect upon the stomach and
bowels.
This treatment continued a few
months, with The addition of cup OF
hot water slowly slipped an hour be,
fore each meal, with proper attention
to diet, will cure most cases of dyspep
sia.
Ordinary headaches almost always
yield TO the simultaneous application
of hot water to the feet and back OF
the neck.

LET THE TEAM WALK.

Roland Smith, in The Farm Journal,
says that one of his employers kept
three large teams, and always gave
orders to trot them whenever a level
or the load permitted. One time, be-
ing laid up by sickness, the employer
promised to give d suit of clothes,
when be got well, to the driver who
kept his team in the best order.
Smith, who believed in walking large
horses, resolved to win the suit. 1t
was six weeks before the boss was
around. The first day of walking, the
horses having been trotted so much,
were not very ambitious, and their
trip was not completed till long after
the other boys were through aud their
teams put out. The next night Smith
finished his rounds earlier. In 10 days
the team would do as much in day
on a walk as either of the other two,
which were logged at every opportu.
nifty, and began to gain wonderfully in
flesh and appearance. The same quan.
tity of grain was given as before, but
he thinks he rubbed them a little
more-he could not help it, they were
so handsome. He also frequently al
lowed them after working TO roll in
the loan of freshly ploughed field or
garden, which they greatly enjoyed.
Then they were cleaned-frst with a
broom, and then with rice-root brush,
followed by a big cloth-rarely or
never with a curry-comb. When the
employer was able to visit the stable
he did not know Smiths team-could
scarcely believe it belonged to him.
After having all the horses hooked up
10 wagons, and seeing this team walk
away from the others, he gave orders
to all 10 "walk your horses" and took
"Rollien to a frstclass place and told
him to pick out the best suit in the
store, for the lesson learned was
worth it.

GOOD ROADS.

The farmers and the railroad COM
panies of Texas are alike interested in
the subject of good roads; the farmer,
because it cheapens the cost OF getting
their produce to market and enables
them to market much that otherwise
would be unsold; the railroads be-
cause it would add much to the vol
ume of transportation business, since
products now not brought from the
farm would seek markets along the
railroad lines; and both, because good
roads aid wonderfully in the settle
ment of a country and in enhance
ment of values in land and products.
In all the "good roads" discussions
the employment of convict labor in
roadmaking has received considerable
attention, and as the subject is one
that will almost certainly be presented
as subject of legislation in Texas, an
object lesson in California may be
found of interest to Journal readers.
In that state the object of getting
the benefit of convict labor without
working the convicts in public was at
tanned by putting them to work in pre-
pairing road materials. Machinery for
quarrying and crushing the rock was
supplied by the state. The Southern
Pacific Railroad company gives low
transportation rates, and now the state
can put on the cars 1000 tons of rock
ready for use on roads at rate of not
more than 25 cents ton. Other rail-
roads are carrying this material at the
bare cost of train service. The val.
leys of California, where no rock or
gravel are to be found, are now being
supplied with the best of roads, the
road materials delivered where needed
at SO to 60 cents q ton.
This is, perhaps, about as good a
disposition as Texas could make OF
the convict labor question, and would
give considerable employment to free
labor and to the teams of the farmers
along the lines of road construction

CONCISE. is not easy to learn to
keep an expense account all at once
For instance, if one is told to be con-
else and business-like, one may mis-,
take the proportions desirable, and be
too concise. An exchange presents an
illustration of this.
A young husband gave his wife q
neat little account book, prettily
bound, and designed to be inviting in
appearance. He also gave her $50
and said, ~ want you to put down
what I give you on this side, and on
the other write down the way it goes
and in fortnight I will give you an
other supply"
Two weeks later he asked for the
book.
"Oh, I have kept that account,
said the young matron. "Here it is; .
And on one page was in inscribed
"Received from Algy fifty dollars,
and on the opposite was this summa'

SERIoUs.-Few things vex physi-
clan more than to be sent for in great
haste at an unreasonable hour, only to
find upon arrival that little or nothing
is the matter with the patient.
An eminent English surgeon was
called to an "urgent case" of this sort.
and found that the patient, who was
a man of great wealth but small cour.
age, had received very slight wound
from a fall.
The surgeons face did not betray
his irritation, but he gave his servant
orders to 60 home with all possible
haste, and return with certain plas-
ter. The patient, turning very pale,
said anxiously:
'I trust, sir, there is no great and
immediate danger ?"
"Indeed there is" answered the sur
geon. "Why, if that fellow doesn't
run like a race horse, there's no tell
ing but your wound will heal before
be gets back with the plaster !"

HE Cor THE GoLD.-Banks are so
we'll able to protect themselves that
most readers will enjoy the following
account of how an unsophisticated
customer secured slight advantage
over one of them. we borrow the
story from an English paper.
A poor Irishman went to the office
of an Irish bank and asked for change
in gold for 14-one-pound Bank of Ire
land notes. The cashier at once re-
piled Cavan bank only cashed its own
notes.
"Then would ye gle me Cavan notes
for these ?" asked the countryman in
his simple way.
"Certainly," said the cashier, hand
ing out the IA notes as desired.
The Irishman took the Cavan notes,
but Immediately returned them to the
official, saying: "Would ye gle me
gold for these, sir?"
And the cashier, caught in bis own
trap, was obliged to do it.

COMMENCE TODAY AND KEEP AT 1T.

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, 1t Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers In
the state. 1t Is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one of the most popular. Ninety per cent. Of
the families In the county desire 1t as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford 1t, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One OF the most Sc
rfous drawbacks, probably, is the inconven.
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. 1t Is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for us, just at this time, to
secure the services Of large number Of intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual
who does not give his name to clubmaker |;
but sends it direct to this Office. In clubs,
however, the price Is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he Is expected TO pay US. Now to our
propositions

A WARNING.-Perhaps the poorest
opinion of music as vocation is at
tributed to a certain excellent master
builder in an eastern city. This man
had sent his son to college, where the
young man excelled in musical accom-
plishments.
In course of time he announced to
his father his intention to become a
musician.
The father objected vehemently.
The son begged, and at last was affect:
ed to tears, declaring that he should
never be happy in any other calling.
This melted the fathers heard, and ne

GREAT SPEED.-The Buffalo Express

1t was in a negligence case, and a

of train.
"Was it going fast? asked the
judge.
"Aw, yis, it were," answered the
witness.
"How fast ?"
"Oh, purity fast, yer honor"
"Well, how fast ?"
CAV, purity fast" -,
"Was it as fast as man can run p

that the basis for an analogy was sup
piled; "as fast as two min kin rum"
