Did Not Care to Prosecute and
o'Horo Was Discharged.

John O'HorO, n driver in the employ
of the Keystone Brewing company, last
night had q hearing before Alderman
Kasson on the charge of malicious mis-
chief. The warrant was issued at the
instance of George Hufnagel, manager
of the Dickson City brewery, and was
served last Friday
It seems that about three weeks ago
this company was delivering ale at the
hotel Of Anthony Walsh, at Washing
ton avenue and Phelps street. OHoro,
who boards at this hotel, was deliver
ing ale for the Keystone company at
the time. He was left alone in the
cellar a short while, and after he had
gone it was found that nails had been
driven into three Of the kegs contain
ing the Dickson City ale. The air had
all passed out, and as a result the
liquid was fiat and stale. O'Horo was
suspected of the deed.
At the hearing last night Walsh in
terceded for him and said that the ale
did not belong to the brewing company,
as he had paid for it. Upon this show
ing the alderman discharged the case.

Ben RaysOr is a Hustler

The first car of melons to 20
from Florida this year was
grown by Ben Raysor of Lowell
and sold to Mr.. Il. H. johnson of
this place. The car contained
1l51 melons, the smallest weigh
ing 19 1-2 pounds and the largest
80 pounds, averaging q pounds,
which IS considered an excellent
car OF melons. He will load two
more cars equally as good the
last of this week and which he
has sold to MIR. johnson. The
car to go Tuesday was only
three days later than the earliest
car known to have left Florida in
previous years. But then Ben is
a hustler, and the dispatch with
which this car was loaded is
proof of the same, as he cut,
hauled, weighed and packed the
car within six hours after it was
placed upon the siding. He has
165 acres Of Glossier and 25 acres
OF Eden melons, which are pro-
nounccd by all travelling men to
be the earliest and best fruited
melons seen in the state, and we
are informed that he will market
his entire crop of rs or more
cars not later than June 90.
