OUT OF HIS GRAVE AN ELM.
Tradition Says He Was Killed WITH
an Elm Club, and 1t Was Buried
with Him.


Angelica, March 11-One of the most no4
ticeable things to any one entering the
Angelica cemetery grounds is an old MARI
bic slab headstone on which is the fol-
lowing inscription: IRA Stephens, who
died Sept. 20, 1903. age 43 years" Exactly
tree which is eighty feet high and three
feet through the trunk, and is as fine
specimen of an elm tree as can be found
The roots spread all over the grave and
nearly tip the marble slab, green and
mouldy with age, over on its face, The
peculiar position of the tree right In the
center of a grave causes strangers to Won
der how it came there
Those In charge of the last Allegheny
county history, before Offering It to ths
publishers, decided to trace, If possible,
from old residents the cause of the tree
being In so peculiar place. They found
out and publish in their history the Ioi-
lowing information: THE first death III
Angelica was Ira Stephens, who on the au-
thority of MIR. Gibson, a resident OF An
gelica, was killed in a quarrel over caias
al Joseph Wilson'S inn (present site OF me
Lightfoot block), and he was the first one
buried in Angelica cemetery. He was KIN
ed by some one unknown, with huge ellh
club, which was buried with him. Directg
over the grave has grown a large eInA
tree which superstitious and creduous peo-
pie say grew from the club with when 10
was killed"
The Union representative talked with an
old gentleman 90 years of age who ha1
been resident of this place for over SIX
ty years, and asked him his opinion on llo
subject. He said that the tree had pen
there ever since he had lived there 10
claimed the only popularity in the appear
ance of the tree was the strange oloou
color of the bark, there being at cer'ail
times in the year blotches of coiored Dals 1
bearing the appearance OF being stain e-.
by blood. He is not able to account 10
the suangeness or the peculiar location %
the tree.

FLORIDA's VEGETABLE CROP.
The Tomato Now Attracting n Great
Amount of Attention.

Winter Park, Fla, March 19-Though
the golden fruit" will ever retain its
place in poesy and romance, our practical
farmers have long since arrived at the
conclusion that more hard cash is 70 be
derived from early vegetables. The to-.
maio, 80 far, has ruled supreme, though
beans, eggplant, squash, cucumbers, pep
pers, etc, etc, are raised successfully.
Owing to the extreme cold in January
our spring crop was considerably delayed,
no tomato shipments having a yet taken
place. Small shipments of beans, peppers,
squash etc, began some weeks ago, and
will continue till forgotten for the all
powerful tomato. Dame Nature, since her
unkindness in the beginning of the year,
has dealt generously with us. Given
warm weather, plenty of cultivation and
an occasional shower, plants are obliged
to grow fruit TO mature. The conditions
all having been fulfilled, we confidently
expect to begin our tomato shipments not
later than April J. 1t Is a matter of re-
greet that many Northern tourists have
taken the war scare and are eurtailng
their usual holiday. Those who visited
the lake region are wisely remaining.

1t VIII Take Two Years to Place 1t
In n Condition fer Defense.
WASHINGTON, March Alan impor-
tans conference was held IN the Office Of
the secretary Of war today in relation TO
the fertilization Of Tortugas harbor There
were present Secretary Alger. Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt of the Navy. Gen.
Miles. Gen. Wilson. chief Of engineers. and
Col. Henry II. Roberts. corps of engineers
A troublesome question has arisen in con-
nection with the proposed system Of forth
fications. The engineer officers who have
been investigating the matter estimate 1t
win cost about 100000 and take nearly
two years to put the island in a proper
state Of defense from sea attack. and Sec
rotary Alger and his associates hesitate to
embark on an undertaking Of that extent:
unless the navy department consider the
work absolutely necessary.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt was not
prepared to take the responsibility with
out further consultation with the naval
officers specially interested in the estab-
Ashment Of the coaling station. and def
mite action was postponed to give him an
opportunity to investigate the matter and
report as to the adv!sabiiity OF the psoSSsa..
engineering works at the south coast.

SPANS PRESS CENSORSHIP.


Ne News Of War Preparations Ii Per-
mitted to be Given Out.
NEW YORK, March ALA dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
Instructions have been given since FRI
day night to the press censor to stop all
foreign and domestic press telegrams~-and
even telephone MISUNDERSTANDING news
unpalatable 10 the government. Unau-
thorizsd details OF naval and military
preparations OF the movements of war
ships. particularly of the flying squadron,
Of the purchase OF vessels OF war, and the
is..se.sls of stores aboard are especially in
terdicted.
Hitherto no step has been taken TO pre-
vent the Madrid press from publishing
frequent and abundant information. The
same press censor will put a stop to tele-
grams sent from Madrid to newspapers in
America, England and France when they
contain news which is deemed likely TO
create alarm. Therefore. the people now
are at the mercy or the rumors propagated
by word of mouth, or the post, which is
much worse.
The Liberal says that on Saturday sevs
eral hundred telegraph and telephone
messages were stopped by the press GEN.
sor in Madrid.
The governments action has caused a
profound sensation. not only In Madrid
hut throughout the provinces. Even the
ministerial newspaper. the Liberal, sides
with the majority OF the press In censur-
ing vigorously a measure which, IL says, IL
calculated to increase the national anxiety.
because the people surmise that the reia-
tons between Spain and the United States
have got into a critical stage indeed. when
a Liberal cabinet decides TO be more rig
orous with the press than was Canovas.
and worse than the reaetonary cabinets
Of 1884 and 1885.
