DAMAGE TO APPLES.


Cool Weather and Lack of Bees Have Been
Against the Fruit.
Ex- United States Marshal Fl. H. Nc
Mulin OF Bear Station, who is lead
ing fruit grower Of New Castle county,
is not SO sanguine as to the fruit pros
poets as he was a month or two ago.
He then looked for record crop, but
two things operate to chupge his ex-
pectation: Cool weather and lack Of
bees.
1t is important to the due propaga-
tion Of fruit that the pollen should be
distributed. This Is done in some cases
by the wind, and In some cases by bees.
A rain which came about the time tho
pollen was abundant washed great
deal off, and in the cool weather, the
bees have been unable to works
The effects of these untoward circum-
stances is observed in an apple orchard
where much blIghted fruit will DO
found on the giound.
Loss apparent damage has bepu done
to pears. Mr.. McMullin looks for a
good strawberry crop.

THREE men IN THE WHITE MURDER.

Charles Perry Says Ho Was About One
Hundred Feet from the Scene, Ready to
Warn Stirling and Ivory, His ACCOM-
pIioes, Should Any One Approach.
Philadelphia. Pa, May 30.-There
were three men engaged in the murder
and robbery Of Roy Wilson White, in
structor at the University Law School,
Saturday night, May 10Th, on Thirty
second street, below Powolton avenue.
The trio were Henry Ivory, Amos
Stirling and Charles Perry, alias AL
Brown. The booty obtained was the
victims watch and ring, but no money.
Stirling struck down Mr., White, and
plindered the pockets, while Ivory
stood close by, and Perry remained on
watch within leo feat Of the scene OF
the attack, to give the alarm in case
any one approached.
Stirling kept the ring as his share OF
the booty, and gave the watch to Ivory,
who handed it over to Perry. The latter
took it home.
Charles Smith, Perry's roommate,
stole the timorieoe last Monday and
attempted to pawn IL, and in doing SO
ran his own head into u trap.
Beyond the fact that no had no hand
in the murder or robbery of the
wounded man, Smith is exonerated OF
any share in tho crime BY both Ivory
and Perry. and remains simple thief,
nothing more. :.
Stirling denies, oven in the face OF
the positive declarations Of Ivory and
Perry to the contrary, that he had any
thing to do with tho affair, and even
persists in repudiating any acquaint-
ance with Perry and Ivory.
The police authorities feel confident,
however,, that the stories as told separ-
ately BY Ivory and Perry will carry
conviction.
The police say that Perry, Stirling
and Ivory were we'll known to one
another, and had been associating
together prior 10 tho robbery and muir
der.
Superintendent Quirk said last even
ing that Perry broke down in the after-
noon and confessed what was o surpris'
ing and totally unexpected fact, to wit:
That tnoro were three men implicated
in tho assault and robbery, instead OF
two. and that the reason why young
Ralph Hartman did not sec three men
instead of two, when he was on Thirty
second street, near Powelton avenue,
was that Perry was in hiding a short
distance away from the others, who
were lying in wait.
According to the confessions obtained
by the police authorities three desper,-
ate men had plotted to waylay and lob
anyone whom they might encounter, IL
ohanoed be Roy Wilson White. but
might as readily have beer. another.
The result would have been the same.
ffseseral minutes before Mr.. White
PASSED along Thirty second street an
organ grinder stopped and played on
the street, near the corner OF Summer
street. The police have not yet been
able TO trace him. His presence might
have been tho means of frustrating the

st. Louis, No., May 80-A terrific ex-
plosion, supposed to have bean caused by
dynamite placed on the tracks Of the Union
Line, at Fifteenth and Chambers streets,
shook the buildings and broke the glass
in all the windows in that neighborhood
at 12.40 o'clock this morning.
Many persons were thrown from their
beds by the violent conclusion, and all
were awakened and terrified. As near as
they could determine, the explosion had
resulted from dynamite, which was OK
ploded on the street car tracks.
The damage to the rails was not,marked,
the explosive having apparently spent its
force in the air.
So far, the police have been unable to
find out who was responsible for the ex.
nlosion. - - ~ -. n

The hands are weak, the eyes are dim
of those who saw Wars visage grim
Beyond the brown Potomac,s rim.
Fling out the flags on high,
Sing loud the National Hymn;
Let cannon thunder to the sky
Tho Heroes requiem.
The swords are rust, the strong forms clay
OF those who persisted in the fray
OF deathless Blue and dauntlcss Gray.
Plant roses red like blood
With lilies white as snow,
And viuletS IN an azure flood
To drapc the dust below.
OF Gray and Blue the Lord took heed
The countless Dead He turned to seed
Whose harvest fills the Worlds wide need.
Praise for the men who died,
PRAYER for their souls at rest;
Love for the land they sanctified
BY sacrifice so blost. ''H-r.
