pRuNEs AND RAIsINs.

San Jose, Dec. President Bond OF
the cured fruit association reports SO
per cent increase in prune shipments
this week over last. With this in
crease in sales, however. the market is
still very dull. Few of the packing
houses are operating, and prunes fill
them to the rafters. The exceedingly
small demand for prunes is accounted
for by the warm weather and the large
supply Of apples and fresh fruits in the
East. No material change in the sit
uation is looked for until after the
holidays. Cold weather and the pass
ing of fresh fruits is expected to pro-
duce demand for prunes. There has
been a small export demand this past
week.
Vice President Nathan of the Fres-
no Raisin Growers Association was
in town today comforting with Pres
ident Bond and reports the market for
raisins equally as dull as for prunes.
A few orders for cured peaches have
been filled this past week. There is
no demand for apricots. There is
still held in this valley about IS
cars of peaches and rs cars of apricots.

Spanish public men assert that the
loss Of its colonial possessions has con-
tributed to the prosperity and strength
of Spain. Since peace was declared
and friendly relations have been re-es-
tablished with the United States the
material progress of Spain has been re-
markable. Not only have the larger
cities experienced change for the bet
ter, but places of less Importance
throughout the kingdom have shown
Wonderful increase in manufacturing
industries. Commerce in general has
been making rapid progress, and that
between Spain and the United States
during the past year has been greater
than at any time since 1884. From
which it appears that national calami-
ties may be transmitted into national
blessings, If that spirit In men or ma

BURIED A WEE BABY.
Searchers for Treasure Dug Up An
Infant.

New York. Dec. 2.-Stacia is a few
days old, but in her brief career she
has been buried alive. Nobody knows
her last name, and the first was be-
slowed upon a blue-eyed baby by the
policemen of Green Point avenue sta
ton house. How she ever lived through
such an experience is a puzzle to the
doctors at st. GATHERINGS Hospital.
Yesterday morning some one set
astir story that there was treasure,
perhaps loot of thieves, maybe the
hoard of miser, in the meadows that
stretch away from Meserole avenue
and Guernsey street, in Green Point.
Several men with spades, each ven
turing forth by himself, stole out in
the early morning to the strip of waste.
They were treasure hunters, and one
of them unearthed treasure. 1t was
not the rust-covered coin of miser,
nor yet the jewels and plate of an out
law, but just round little bundle of
humanity with the bluest of eyes and
squall that would have done credit
Ito child of many more days on
earth.
This particular searcher after hidden
wealth had selected pile of earth in
the meadows that seemed to have been
recently heaped up 1t was loosely
thrown together, and as he thrust in
his spade the blade struck something
of promise. 1t felt like bag, and
eagerly the digger plunged in his
shovel again. He leaped back, amazed
and half frightened, for sound, a
wall, as of something living, came out
of the earthheap before him.
The instinct of self-preservation
prompted the man to thrown down his
shovel and run, but second thought
induced him to pry further, and thus
saved the life of Miss Stacia. Her eyes
and mouth were filed with dirt. The
man was the father of children. and
he tenderly lifted the infant and ran
with her to the station. DR.. Hoyt of
st. GATHERINGS Hospital said the babe
was not more than two or three days
old, and that he believed she would
live.

life, "squealed." From what has been
revealed the crime was heartless and
deliberate beyond credence. The girl
was made the object of special atten-
ton before she was led to engage her
self to the man chosen to fill the role Of
lover. He deliberately won her heart
and confidence, and it was therefore no
mere opportunity that led the rascals
to commit their infamous deed. They
planned the crime first, and then went
out to seek a victim and found her in
an innocent and respectable young
woman, whose life was sacrificed in
cold blood and for the most sordid pur-
poses.

towns of Tamanacha and Symon. One
train carried a construction crew of
$50 men and the other was a freight
made up of 55 empty cars. Three en-
gines and 40 cars were piled up in a
mass of debris 80 feet high, in which
the dead and wounded were buried
Two of the train employees are
Americans, and they saved their lives
by immediate flight, as in Mexico en-
ployes of train must suffer death if
fatalities attach to train wreck. The
survivors attempted to lynch the
Americans, but they escaped and are
supposed to have reached the United
States.

Arthur Tappan, Aged IL, Shot by a
Playmate.

Alameda, Dec. 2.-Arthur Tappan,
aged IL years, was accidentally shot
and killed by Charles Swan, a play
mate, with whom he was out hunting.
Young Tappan, who was armed with
a slingshot, was aiming at lark when
Swan attempted to fire with 22-cal-
iber rifle. The gun caught in his cloth
ing and was discharged, the bullet
striking Tappan in the breast. The
wounded boy threw up his arms and
fell, dying on the spot in few sec
onds. The rifle was held within yard
of his body and his clothing was pow
der burned. Swan and Willie Wal
chow, boy who was in the party,
were taken to the city prison, but soon
liberated, as the shooting was clearly
accidental.

Spencer Churchill, who is passenger
on the Cunard line steamship Lucania,
which left Liverpool yesterday for New

United States would be short.
When questioned with regard to the
war in South Africa he said he agreed
with Lord Roberts that 10000 more
regulars should be sent out, because
any slackening would only revive the
spirits of the Beers. He estimated the
Boer forces at present at 1000.

A man was arrested the other day +,

A man was arrested the other day for
deserving his wife. Now, this thing of
marrying a woman and then running
away from her is bad. 1t ought to be
generally discouraged. Still, there
would seem to be exceptions even in
matters of this kind. The man in the
case appears to have had provocation.
"She went to an astrologer," he explain
ed to the magistrate, s'and the astrolo-
ger told her she was going to be mar
ried twice. Being her first, [ decided
that it was up to me either to die or
quit, and not wanting to die thought
I'd quit" We can't blame this poor
man for wanting to get out of his pre-
dicament in the easiest way he could
think of. There was the word of the
astrologer, for which the woman had
paid 81 out of her husbands earnings.
Was it for the latter to remain and take
his chances? Obviously he could not do
so without showing contempt for life
OF exhibiting a disbelief in that which
was perhaps a solace and a comfort to
his wife. There was logic in his deci-
sion to take himself out of the way and
give the other fellow chance, but the
woman, being determined that -he
should escape none of the hardships
that fate had mapped out for him, went
to the police and had the man arrested.
Then justice, with no idea Of the fit
ness of things, ordered the husband to
go back to his wife and support her,
and there was nothing left for him to
do but obey. 1t is such cases as this
that cause pessimism to spread in the
world. The woman has her next hus-
band to look forward to, but what hope
can there be for the man? What incen-
tive can he have to go ahead and accu-
mulate wealth, knowing that the astrol-
oyer or the second husband will get
what is left out Of the household ex-
penses In some respects it is still sad
old world.
