Stake and Fence Posts That Often Grow
After Planting.
Easton, Md, July l0.-An account
was published recently of growing tele-
graEh poles. 1t is not upusual for
stakes OF POLES planted green in the fall
to sprout and grow foliage the next
spring. There is fms instance of this
in Queenstown Creek, Queen Anne's
county. The intricate channel from
Chester River to the steamboat wharves
at Queenstown is marked with green
chestnut and poplar stakes cut from
the woods and Elanted last fall. Some
of them budded and put forth foliage
In the spring which is growing into
branches, and on a few OF them bios
soms were noticed. As it 10 impossible
for the stakes to root in the oreek mud
this summer growth will perish with
tho season. never to return.
Sometimes, but very seldom, a staKe
or pole out from tree and set into The
ground roots and makes another Tree.
There is fine example Of this on Har-
mon *. Georges farm, Locust Neck,
in Talbot county. Some years ago
locust posts 10 the round were used In
building post, cap and rail fence.
The end of each post was sharpened
to go through the hols in the cap.
From one Of them sprout put out be-
low the cap. The sprout became twig,
the twig bre nch, which became q
limb and has grown into a large, UNI
bragecus locust tree. OF course. roots
put out from the end of the post in the
ground. A tree can be grown from the
twia of almost any kind of poplar, ex-
Dept the Lombardy. In rail and rider
fences the iders plarted In the ground
green are often seen to bear leaves, but
very seldom ever live long. FL

additional tracks and connections are
made on account of the running OF
many trains over the place and the need
OF taking some Of the heavy trains
running through this city off the main
tracks, by running them over the cut

running passenger trains.

also stated that with the abolition Of

Although Shanghai today repeats ths

MUCH GOLD ON osE OF THE TRAINS.


Associated Press Dispatch by special Wires
Philadelphia, Pa, July 1l.-Accord-
ing to officials Of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, deliberate attempt to wreck
the Washington express bearing 81, 900, :
600 10 gold to the Sub Treasury in New
York came near being successful, carly
this incoming, at Folsom, short dis
lance outside of this city.
The train consisted of two sleepers,
two day coaches and three baggage
cars, and left Washington at H. 30
O'Clock last night. 1t was due here at
3. 10 o'clock this morning. While going
at good rate of speed. 1t ran into an
open switch at Folsom The engine
was overturned, and the three baggage
cars were derailed, but no one was in
jured.
An examination OF the switch by the
railroad men disclosed the fact that the
switch had been tempered with, for the
apparent purpose Of wrecking train.
Whether 1t was done with the inten
tion Of wreclsing the express bearing
the currency, could only be conjectured.
1t is believed, however, by many in the
neighborhood that it was the work of
wreckers. The officials have placed de-
tectives on the. case. and have offered a
reward Of $500 fol- the arrest and con-
viction Of those tampering with the
switch.
1t required considerable time to get
the deraied cars back ON tho track, and
there was consequent delay in the
running OF other trains.

A PECULIAR ROBBERY.
Two Houses on West Ninth Street Entered
by Thieves.

Two Houses on West Ninth Street Entered
by Thieves.
A peculiar robbery occurred Tuesday
night at the residence OF Charles h.
Perkins, No. 624 West Ninth street,
and IL lie supposed that the robbers also
visited the adjoining house, No. 626,
which is occupied by john p. Campbell
and family, but, SO far as Is known
nothing was stolen from the latter
house.
Shortly after 8 O'Clock in the evening,
while members OF the Perkins family
were seated on the front stoop, the
house was entered by burglars through
rear seoond-story window. Tho thief
went to q bureau, and after overlooking
three valuable gold rings on top OF the
bureau, opened one of the drawers and
looted a pocletbook Of its contents, Sl6,
and afterward went to the front room,
where the contents Of another pocket
book, SIT, were also taken. So far as
is known, nothing more was stolen,
and there was very little evidence after
ward that the place had heen ransacked,
although IL is believed the thief looked
about the second STORY rooms pretty
we'll. He was evidently after nothing
but money, and this gives some the
impression that the thief was pro-
fessiopal aud probably belonged to
what is known as the "second.story
windov" gang.
AT the time Of the robbery stranger
was noticed lounging about in the
vicinity of the house, and 1t is sus-
pected that he was on guard and
prepared to give signal in case Of
probable discovery.

Pretoria, Transvaal, July 10. The
British success at Bethlehem has con-
siderably improved the prospects for
peace, it is stated. The whole of the
government of President Steyn of tho
Orange Free State has surrendered, ex-
cert President Steyn himself. Those
officials who are prisoners have been
allowed to communicate with President
Steyn, for the purpose of attempting to
prove to him the uselessness of a contin-
uance of the struggle. which can only
produce bloodshed without any counter
balancing advantages.
The collapse Of the forces Of Gen.
DeWet Is expected daily. The Beers
here say that the men have taken
solemn oath never to personally surren-
der, but they ars beginning to see the
unfairuess Of sacrificing life to personal
wishes. 1t Is expected that when Gen.
Botha learns of the defeat Of his COL
leagues, he will gladlyi:enter into con-
ferences looking to the establishment
of peace.
The need of more civil administrators
is urgent, and the necessity for their
appointment Is becoming daily more
apparent Intelligent administrators,
with knowledge of the people, could
undoubtedly greatly aid In the future
settlement Of difficulties, inasmuch as a
fiank feeling In favor Of submission is
prevalent among the Beers.

II have read the account with refer
ence to an alleged plot to assassinate
President Mckinley, and also to the
part which / am supposed to have
taken in the matter. I have nothing
to say upon the subject, except that l
have made an Investigation, which 1
started with the State Committee de-
tective, on the line of what supposed
to be political information, and 1 dis
covered either crank or a Baron
Munchausen. 1t is probable that my
report to Secretary Dick is the cause
for the extra care now being taken Of

to say upon this subject, except that I,

enough to make Of trifling matter the

DESTROYED BY FIRE AND WAVES.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Grove Beach, Com, July IL The
forward portion of schooner, APP
parently Of about 400 tons, was washed
ur ON the beach here during the night.
All the woodwork above the loaded
water line was burned, and everything
which might lead to her Identification
had disappeared.
From the appearance of the wreck, it
ia. supposed that the schooner was
loaded when the fire occurred, and that
she broke in two and the cargo was
lost after the upper part OF the hull
had been eaten away by the flames.
1t is judged from the appearance Of
the wreck that the vessel was burned
several weeks ago.
