LAMTELL SURRENDERs.

Fatal Tunnel Wreck is a Prisoner.

Philadelphia, May 15.-Frank Lam

caused the fatal train wreck in tun-

surrendered himself. Lamtell admits
he fell asleep while on duty. The

About thirty-five firemen were either
burned or overcome by smoke while
fighting the flames which broke out
in the debris Immediately after the
fire. None of them, however, was
seriously injured.
Firemen have been at work all night
and all to-day, but it has been impos-
sible as yet to extinguish the flames.
Owing to the heat and smoke and
gaseous air in the tunnel the firemen
entered the tunnel only a short dis
tance without being overcome. Holes
were dug in the street to make vents
and the roof of the tunnel was blasted,
but to no avail. The bodies of the en-
gineer and fireman and five tramps
who were said to be on the train have
doubtless been cremated

DEAD ON yeRsev MEADOWS.

Stiil Unsxpiained.
Greenville, N. J.,May 15.-An un-
identified man met his death some
time Saturday night ON the salt mead
'ows here. His body was found face
downward, in the muddy bottom of
Old Mans Creek, after it had been
drained by the outgoing tide. The
cause Of death is not known. County
Physicisn Converse will hold an au.
topsy this morning to determine 1t.
The dead man was dressed In a
neatly fitting suit Of dark brown che
viot and q blue-striped outing shirt
He wore congress CATERS. almost new.
In height he was feet 8 inches, and
weighed about 180 pounds. His hair
was dark-almost black-and he had a
sandy mustache. The police estim-
ated his age at about forty years.
There was nothing to indicate his
identity and nothing of value in his
pockets.
Old Mans Creek is about 800 yards
from the trolley line running from
Jersey City to Newark. There are
number of wayside inns. along the
route and the theory of the police Is
that the man had been drinkink in one
Of them during the night. They think
he may have been followed by roughs,
robbed and thrown into the creek,
or that he may have wandered into
the meadows while under the infiu-
ence of drink and fallen where he was
found. There have been other mys.
terious deaths ON the meadows dur
ing the past six months, which have
never been explained.
Detectives yesterday visited the
places along the trolley route where
liquor is sold, but could find no one
who would admit having seen a man
answering the description of the de-
ceased.
The body was taken to the w. H.
Speer's undertaking shop in Jersey
City, where 1t is held for Identification.
Many persons living In the Greenville
section looked upon the face of the
dead man yesterday, but failed to re-
cognize him.

Tip For Potato Growers.

A simple method Of preventing rot
and other diseased conditions of win
ter seed potatoes is in use by the
peasants of Thuringia, according to
Consul Hughes at Coburg. Those
potatoes that rot easily in the cellar
in winter are made better able to re.
sist disease conditions and cold by
being laid in sunny place, as far
apart from each other as possible.
They are turned over morning and
night until they become thoroughly
green, and are then placed in the cell
lar for the winter. Potatoes treated
in this manner do not rot and can
withstand great amount of cold with.
out freezing. Early potatoes thus
treated do not sFrout in the cellar,
and so retain their full strength. In
February the potatoes are taken from
the cellar and put in partially
warmed room until planting time.
When planted they will sprout strong
er and quicker than potatoes not SC
treated, and the crop will be larger
and better.

Glass Is now made so cheaply and
greenhouses are so little expense, that
they are proftably used for growing
many things for market that were
formerly grown out of doors. All the
best foreign varieties of grapes are
grown by some of the leading nur-
serymen in cold graperies, where no
heat is used and the vines are resting
during the winter just the same as
they do out OF doors. But under glass
in the cold grapery the buds will
start several weeks earlier than they
can in the open air. The grapes will
not be chilled at night by dews, as
they are out of doors even during
most OF the summer months. Hence
they will ripen without midewing the
foliage or having the fruit attacked
by fungus. TO some extent the
growers of native grapes are taking o
hint from the cold grapery under glass.
II n native vine is trained 80 that some
of its fruit is ripened under pro-
tecting awning, such fruit will be much
finer and better than it ever can be
grown on parts OF tho vine that are
mt thus protected.
