S~EDALIA, Feb. al. II. Roe, the
most extensive fruit grower in Central
Missouri, has completed a thorough
examination OF his Pettis county peach
orchards and reports that very few
trees were injured by the late severe
sold wave. He says Hills Clicli, Late
Heath, Frecstone and Fosters Yellow

the Elbertas and Late Crawtords, the
most delicate of peaches, were only
slightly damaged. In Roe's opinion
tho peach crop Of 1890 will DO the larg.

STEWART TOO ILL TO APPEAR.
The Case Against Adelbert Cox and
Eta Williams Pnstnnned

Former Policeman Adelbert w Cox and
| Eta Williams, who were arrested on Sum
day morning by Detectives Miller and Peck
on the charge Of grand larceny, were ar
raigned in the Police Court yesterday morn
ing for trial. but. on motion of the prose-
cution. continuance was granted, and the
case was set for hearing on Tuesday Oc-
tober "A. 1t was represented TO the court by
I Prosecutor MullowDy that James A. Stew
art, from whom the defendants are accused
of stealing s100, ard who is the principal
witness for the prosecution, was i'll and un-
able 10 appear in court. On this fact the
prosecution based its plea for the grant
/ ing of continuance. The defendants were
both present, and were represented by At
| torney Edward Niles, who stated to the
court that his clients were in readiness for
a trial. He urged that a continuation would
occasion great inconvenience and add to the
disgrace he claimed both defendants had al
ready suffered. After hearing arguments
from both sides the court decided 10 hold
the defendants in 81, 600 bonds each for their
appearance next Tuesday.
When the court fixed the bond Attorney
Niles offered an objection, saying that the
defendants were both well known, and that
as no case had been made out against them
there was no reason he could see for such
an exorbitant bond. as he termed it. He
asked that Cox and the Williams woman
be released on their personal recognizances.
but the court declined to take such ac
tion. Attorney Niles then made an effort
TO have the bond reduced, but without
success. 1t was then made apparent that
the bond furnished Sunday for the pris-
oners was to ensure their appearance in
court yesterday morning. and expired after
the court had decided to postpone the case
against them.
A new bond was required, and was fur
nished late in the afternoon, when Cox and
the woman were again released from GUS
tody. Cox stated during the afternoon that
the Government had no case against him.
He further declared that they were cog
infant of 1t, and that it had been intimated
TO him that the present charge would be
nolle pressed. and a charge of conspiracy
substituted. At a late hour this had not
been done.

THE TRIAL OF NEsMITH.
Charges of False Prefences viii Be
Investigated Today.

In the Police Court this morning Sam
uel D. Nesmith, the local representative
Of the Crocter Wheeler Electric Company,
the charge Of obtaining money under false
pretenses. Nesmith was arrested Wednes-
day last by Detectives Parham and Gal
lagher, who charge that he has been max
ing and cashng checks for varying
amounts, while in full knowledge of the
fact that his account at the bank on
which the checks were drawn amounted to
only a few cents. These checks, it is al
legged. were cashed by various merchants
and others, among whom was Charles
McDermott, of the Concord Flats, the
original complainant against Nesmith
Since the date of the arrest Detectives
Parham and Gallagher have been at work
on the case, and they claim to have un-
earthed sufficient evidence to show that
the defendant carried on successful and
extensive check cashing business.
The detectives now have in their pos
session nine checks alleged TO have been
signed and casned by Nesmith All of these
checks it is claimed, were rejected by
reason for such action being given, it is
said, as insufficiency of funds.
Among the checks now in the hands of
the detectives, and which Nesmith is ac-
cused of uttering under false pretences, are
one for $25, cashed by Thomas LIE Cuyer,
OF the Owen House; one for $56, cashed by
Alexander Seeley, of the Stratford and
two for $50 and $3.50, respectively, cashed
by Mr.. Graham, of the National Electrical
Supply Company. Another check cashed
by Easton & Rupp. and one cashed by Mr..
Upperman. Of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company, are also in the hands
of the police.
Still another check is said to have been
cashed by Esau Johnson, Of the Hotel
Johnson.
Nesmith, although he has been resi-
dent of this city but short time, is well
known here, having been a frequent vis-
itor in the past several years. He came
here this time from Brighton, Mass. where
he is well and favorably known. He first
achieved prominence when he appeared at
the Navy Department at the outbreak OF
the war with Spain, and contracted for the
building of the celebrated automatic, sub
marine torpedo boats, in which he and a
well-known naval officer were Jointly in
terested. 1t was claimed for the invention
and so proven, that after it was launched
from a man-ofwar. it would run automat-
ically until il arrived at the object at
which it was directed when it would dis
charge torpedo and then reverse its ma
ehinery and return to the ship from which
ii was launched.
Nesmith claimed that the invention was
finally purchased by the Government Sub
sequently Nesmith became attached to the
Croker Wheeler Electric Company. and
opened an Office in the kellogg building.
After he became settled he sent for his
family and they have since resided here.
Friends of Nesmith claim that the cases
against him will be amicably adjusted and
the fact clearly shown that ne was victim
of circumstances, and had no intention of
swindiing
