SERIOUSLY
Injured By a Train While Walking
on the Track,

A Mr.. Ta'bler ,colored, who lives in the
west end Of the county, was perhaps
fatally injured while walking on the
T. & o. @. e. track Friday morning a
short distance west OF Morris Station.
Train No. /, which leaves here at 1850
a. m, had made a stop at Morris to let
some passengers allght and mad only
fairly gotten under headway, when
about half mile from the station a
man was seen on the track The en-
glneer sounded his whistle when he
saw that the man paid no attention to
the noise of the train and when a lit
tie nearer he saw the man was not go
ing to get off the track, and he made
every effort to stop the train, but 1t
was too late.
The engineT struck the man and
knocked him to one side of the track.
When the train was stopped and the
man picked up he was unconscious
and bleeding from wound in the back
O. the head.
He was carried to the home of Gran
vile Lucas and DR.. E. H. Trickle, of
Cutler summoned, who is now in at
tendance upon the injured man.
The doctor, after making an examin-
alton, says he does not think the skull
is fractured, but the severe concussion
Of the brain may cause congestion,
which is now indicated by vomiting,
and he entertains grave fears for Mr..
Tabler's recovery.
Mr.. Ta'bler is very deaf, which ex-
plains his paying no attention to the
approaching train.

Doe Gully Curves.

About half way between Cumberland
and Martlnsburg on the Second Divis-
ion of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
is a picturesque spot known, as Doe
Gully. There is quite little hill at
this point that the road goes through
and the approaches to this tunnel dn-
clude several reverse curves. The
company has been engaged for the past
two months in removing these curves
and reducing the grades. The Chief
Engineer says that the improvement
will do away with one of the most OBJ
jectionable pieces of track on the Sec
ond Division since Seven Curves were
eliminated, and will remove four re-
verse curves. It will not only make a
much better riding track for fast
trains, but materially assist the west
bound freights in climbing this grade.

can close up the four acres in two
hours time This is quick covering.
The side walls are made differently
from any other shed. The boards are
put in horizontally and between the
posts, a groove for the board being
made by mailing strips of board on the
side of the post and projecting about
three inches. These side boards are
slipped in and do not have to be nail
ed. If there is any Shrinkage the
weight of the boards closes up the
cracks and prevents the necessity of
battening. Mr. Lubriht's idea is that
as soon as all danger is past that
these walls will all be taken down and
the lumber piled up where the wet
weather can not get at it, thus length
ening the life of the lumber. MI.

experience with a half acre shed, put
up year ago. In this a boy kept the
thermometer at - degrees without
any trouble with the aid of a few open
fires.

THE TENT PLAN.

There are many people throughout
the State who have orange trees that
they wish to protect but are not able
to build the sheds, or have only few
trees to cover. TO this class the tent
plan appeals, and many different kinds
of tents have been studied out.
Cut No. 10 shows a five-acre grove
under tents that were put up last Win
ter, but like many others, the cold
caught the grove without the lamps
burning, so that everything was lost to
the banks. The writer was not salts
fled with the plan used last year as it
required the tents to remain over the
trees till all danger from the
cold was over The warmth

lieves that in three years time he will
get back all money spent in making
the sheds.
w. S. HARRIS PLAN.
The last shed on our list was that of
Mr.. w s. Hart, of Hawks Park. A
study of cut No. 8 will show the diff
ference in structure of this from 9th
er sheds. The supports are cypress
poles and the covering of woven
building laths. a better description
Of this shed and it's construction will
be found in Mr.. Harris letter in an
other part of this issue. One thing
noticeable is that the light is more diff
fused by the lath than through any of
the other coverings. The trees have
done fairly during the summer and
show a marked contrast with those
outside of the she'd
Since visiting the sheds mentioned
above we learn that Mr.. Ed. Mallory,
near Oviedo, has put up shed, but
have been unable to get any partlcu-
lars as to it's construction.
We believe. however that we have
shown and described a sufficient num-
Der of sheds of various patterns and
designs. so that any one contemplating
the erection of a shed will nave no diff
ficulty in deciding on the one to meet
the requirements of his peculiar cOndi-
tiOns.

vas gathered up under the projection
of the top, which keeps it from the
weather, and thus helps to preserve it
for other seasons. The method of con-
structiOn is very simple. A frame is
made of the desired heighth and
breadth to cover the tree. By gather
ing the limbs of the tree together and
tying up as close as possible the size
Of the tent can be greatly reduced
The cloth is a good grade of sheet
ing, which has been treated with para
fine wax, that renders the cloth water
proof, and mildew proof, and enables
a much lighter grade of goods to be
used. The cloth is seWed together in
strips long enough to go around the
frame, and the top is tackled to the top
Of the frame. We used large-sized
tack with orange box hoops to prevent
the lacks from pulling out. A sepa-
rate frame is made of 1X2 strip that
slips up and down the large frame.
To this the2bOttOm of the cloth is tack
ed in the same manner as at the top.
The weight of this strip causes the
cloth to fall quickly when released
from the top. To gather the cloth up,
strings are run from each corner of the
loose frame to eyes in the top and out
one side. By pulling the strings the
whole of the cloth and the bottom
strips are gathered up under the roof
to remain there till there is news of

business with The manufacturers we
have not, as yet, been able to have
them made, but will before wanted

We claim for this tent: First, sim
plicity of operation. Second, small
cost. Third, it is so constructed that
the cloth can be used next season on
a larger tree by simply adding to it's
length or breadth Fourth, the cloth
being practically "housed" during the
season when not needed will last a
number of years longer The tree gets
all the advantages of being in the open
and none of the disadvantages of close
covering.
