FRUIT Is GOING TO WASTE.
Crop Is So Heavy i'm Northern Ohio
That 1t Cannot All Be Handled.


That 1t Cannot All BE Handled.
Help cannot be secured to handle fruit
in the Ottawa belt of Ohio, and thousands
of bushels are wasting daily. The Ship
ments from Gypsum alone one week
reached from twenty-five to twenty eight
cars a day. Marblehead Junction ship
ments, including what is sent on the Lake
side and Aharblehead road, amount to fully
two-thirds as much. Catawba Island is
sending by boat from Ottawa City about
$4,000 bushels daily. La Carne is ship
ping large quantities. Put-in-Bay and
the other islands are sending by the large
boats to Cleveland, Detroit and Toledo.
Port Clinton is also shipping several thou
sand bushels daily by boat and rail. The
recent Vindstorm caused some loss, but
the rains improved the size and appear
ance of much of the fruit on the trees, and
went far toward making up for the loss
by the storm.

until winter should freeze up the filth.

brother she had hit. His skull was crush
ed in, and the doctors have but little hope
of his recovery. The burglar proved to

TRADE CONDITIONS FAVORABLE.
Heavy Volume of Business and Few
Failures Are Reported.

r. G. Dun & Co. in their weekly re-
view of trade, say: Failures in Septem-
Der have been about $6.70O,000, and for
the quarter about $22,S75, 900. The re-
turns indicate a smaller aggregate of fail
ures than in any other month in many
years, except in August Of this yeaT, and
smaller for the quarter than in any other
quarter since 1892. In fact, excepting one
quarter in that year, no other appears to
have shown smaller aggregate unless,
more than ten years ago, when the volume
of solvent business was very much smaller
than it is now. Evidently the complete
returns will show that the state of bust
ness is in that respect more satisfactory
that it has ever been, unless in one quar-
ter of 1892"

Secured $4,000 Booty.

One of the most daring bank rohberies
ever perpetrated in the State occurred
at Flora, Ind. In their attempt to escape
the gang of robbers shot and it is feared
fatally wounded w. II. Lemon, the pro
prietor of the bank. They fed under a
volley from the revolver of the wounded
banker and escaped unframed, their booty
being between 10000 and ST., 900, all in
cash. The bank owned by Lemon is in a
two-stor+ brick building, now wrecked
by the clumsy handling of the powerful
explosives used by the robbers. The safe
doors were forced with dynamite and the
banks interior streWn with the fragments
of the wreck. Lemon, who lives half q
square north of the bank, was awakened
by a minor explosion. He stepped to the
upper front porch and saw n group Of
men standing in front Of Livingstone 4
Norst's store in the shadow of the building
watching the bank. Securing a revolver,
he went to the front door and asked the
men what was wanted. They answered:
go inside and mind your business" He
then fired shot into the group without
apparently wounding any one, and one of
the men replied with the two barrels of a
shotgun taken from Lemons bank. The
first charge struck one corner of Lemons
house, the second entered Lemons breast
and face. He will probably lose the sight
of both eyes. even should he recover. Sim
ultaneously with the first report of the re-
roiver came the explosion that threw open
the doors of the treasure box. A minute
later two men emerged from the bank and
Joined the four who had been standing in
front of the store across the street from

tracks, a square away, where handcar
