Fire Department Called Upon
for Assistance.

Early yesterday morning the
Bryan fire department was sum
moned to Calvert to assist in fight
ing a disastrous fire which had
broke out between three and
four o'clock in the morning
above the bank Of Adoue & Co.
The company made preparations
to leave at once when a message
come that they need not come.
Later on. however, the call for help
was repeated aud the FIRE company
with the steamer and one hose cart
was hurriedly placed on board a
coal car and caboose and made the
run to Calvert behind an engine
sent here for the purpose. They
arrived too late to be Of use, the
fire being in a measure under con-
troll, and the water supply INSULT
Gent for the engine to be used.
A big crowd went from Bryan to
the scene, among the number be-
Ing an Eagle representative. The
fire was frightfully destructive OF
both life and property. Nearly
an entire block of brick business
houses was destroyed, two lives
lost and three persons badly hurt.
The dead are DR.. G. G. Garrett
and l. Oscar; the injured, II. Ry-
man, Dan Lavine and Mr.. Overall.
The fire is supposed to have
originated above the bank OF
Adoue Il Co., and spread rapidly
10 the adjoining buildings on the
south. This block is on the east
side of the street next to the II. IL
T. C. railroad. The property
losses we're as follows: Adoue IL
Co., bankers; Collat, Adoue & Ris-
ser, dry goods and groceries; II.

DR.. Garrett occupied a room
above the Adoue bank and was
doubtless asleep until every avenue
Of escape was cut off. he was SO
years old and a knight Templar
He was q brother Of Mr.. T. j. Gar
rett, slso of Calvert.
II. Rvman had no insurance on
his stock Of goods and friends were
endeavoring 10 help him save as
much Us possible. On this nc
count H., Ryman, i. Oscar, Dan
Lavine and a. man from Franklin
named Overall were caught in Rys
mans store by the collapse Of the
building. Oscar was killed by a
falling wall and the others ,impris-
oned until cut out by friends.
Dan Lavine had one leg painfully
burned; Ryman received injuries
in the chest, and Overall about the
head Oscar was about fifty years
old and leaves a family. He was
a member Of the A. o. u. W..
Knights Of Pythias, Masons and
Odd Fellows.
The total amount of the damage
and insurance could not be ottain-
ed during the reporters brief stay.
owing to the confusion and dis
tress. II was, however. a terrible
calamity to our sister city, and one
in which the Calvert people have

Mexico willing To settle That Way with
the Archbishop OF California
washington. Dec. 2s.-The state do
partment has Just added another 10 the
long list Of arbitrations which II has
arranged within the last few years for
the settlement Of American claims.
This arbitration viii provide for the
settlement Of the "Pious Fund" which
has been a subject OF diplomatic ex-
change between the United States and
Mexico since the Mexican war. The
claim rose through the failure OF the
Mexican government 10 pay to the
archbishop OF California interest on
lands belonging 10 the Jesuits. for
which the main government acted as
trustee.
The claim was submitted to the Mex
lean claims commission in 1877 and
judgment giyenin favor of the church
for about 81 900. 900. The Mexican gov
eminent claimed that the payment ex'
tingulshed the claim. but the state de-
partment held that the interest began
again from the date OF the award. and
has run. until at present II amounts to
another siO0O.0 600.
Personal representations by the
archbishop OF California and other dig.
nitarIes OF the Catholic church caused
the department to press the matter,
with the result stated.

HOT BEDS AND COLD FRAMES

The following article on hot beds
was prepared by Prof. L. A.
White:
The correct management Of the
hot bed is Of the utmost Importance,
for upon this may rest the success
or failure Of a whole seasons crop.
The beds should be ready by the
latter part Of December, for In this
climate the tomato should be sown
during the first part Of January.
The location should be selected 80
that some protection may be given
from the cold north winds, and the
south side Of a shed or barn is a
fine location.
For ordinary use, a hot bed, 10
feet long and 6 feet wide is suili.
eient, for after the plants are NIGEL y
started they may be transplanted
to the cold frames. A bed . feet
long and g feet wide should germi-
nate enough plants for two acres
OF ground. In building the hot
bed, the ground should be exca-
waited to a depth of about three
fee. and the sides built up with
boards. This checks the radiation
of heat from the manure into the
surrounding soil. At the surface
of the soil, q plank foot wide and
2 inches thick is extended along
the northern side. Along the
southern side, at u distance equal
{ the width Of the sash, which is
usually 8 feet, another plank 8
inches wide and 2 inches thick is
run down the length of the bed,
the ends are connected by a 2.inch
plank and the bed is ready for use.
Place cross pieces of 2x4 material
at intervals Of from 1 to 6 feet to
make the whole structure secure
aud to hold the sash in place.
For this locality, probably no
material is cheaper or more effect
i've for heating purposes than cotton
seed and hulls. Fill up the bed
about eighteen inches with seed
and place abont siS inches Of h"lls
on top to keep them from sprouting.
Pack the whole solidly and wet
thoroughly TO cause them to heat.
Above these seed and hulls, six or
eight inches of good rich garden
soil is applied and the bed is ready
for the seed. The seed and hulls
will retain sufficient heat for four
or FIVE weeks and afterwards the
bed may be used as a cold frame.
Sow the seed crosswise of the
bed in rows about an inch and a
half apart. Take stick as long
as the width OF the bed, press
il gently into the soil, SOW the seeds
in the depression and cover them.
The depth TO cover will depend
upon the size of the seeds, but a
safe rule for sowing in hot beds is
10 cover them about FIVE times the
thickness Of the diameter Of the
seeds.
After the seeds are sown, the
ground should be firmly pressed
over them; a planned board may
be used, pressing it into the soil
with the foot. Watering is an
important item. The surface OF
the soil must never become dried
after the seeds are sown or germi.
nation will be checked. On the
other hand, the soil must not be
overwatered, or it will become soggy
and sour. and insufficient air will
be admitted for termination and

To prevent the attack OF fungus

lie advisable after the seeds are
Gown 10 spray the whole interior OF
the beds with Bordeaux mixture,
the formula being6 pounds of blue
stone "copper" sulphate). 4 pounds
Of lime and 45 gallons Of water. A
mixture Of lime and sulphur busted
over the beds before the plants
appear is also an excellent pre-.
ventative. About 3 ounces Of sui
phur mixed to 2 pounds Of lime
should be used
The bed is now ready for the
sash. This may be obtained from
u hardware dealer at cost varying
from so 10 90 each. In this eli.
mate, cloth is used to great extent
in place Of glass, and the decrease
In cost is an item much in favor OF
it's use. Strong unbleached cotton
cloth Is treated with u preparation
Of oil, lead and resin, and admits
sufficient light and answers nearly
all the purposes Of glass. The for
muls for the application is 3 quarts
Of white linseed oil, I ounce acetate
Of lead. 4 ounces white English
resin; dissolve the acetate Of lead
by stirring in three or four spoon.
fu.s Of oil, powder the resin, beat
the whols gently 10 q kettle and
apply TO the doth while hot.
The critical point in hot bed
nagement is as the young plants
appear above the surface Of the
grou, d. They must:.hsve plenty
Of air, yet, If the weather is very
cold, a strong draft must no, strike
them. No definite rules can be
given for ventilation but each
grower must learn from experience
just when To let in aud when TO
shut oil the air. As soon as the
little plantlets have developed the
second pair Of leaves, they are
ready for transplanting into the
cold frames. These frames are
made the same as the hot beds.
except that no excavation is made
and no artificial heat u given.
Lighter lumber may also he used;
boards one Inch thick will answer
as we'll as two inch plank,
Such plants as the tomato. and
cabbage are usually transplanted
twice. The gain in vigor Is well
worth the additional expepse.
Transplanting tends to produce a
short, vigorous plant, with an in
creased root area and feeding ca
pacity-one able TO suppor, itself
by its own stem without artificial
support.
In the first transplanting into
the cold frames, the plants should
be placed about an inch apart each
way, but this distance must be in
creased il only one transplsnting
Is to be given. Too close planting
causes deficient light and the plant
spindles up ws,k in stem, with
yellowish green, scant foliage and
poorly developed roots. In the
second transplanting, the plants
should be at least n or 3. inches
apart.
As the plants increase in size
and strength, more air must be-
given, and the cloth or glass should
be entirely removed for several
days before the plants are to be set
in the field. in order that they may
become sufficiently hardened of"
to prevent injury from sudden cold
snaps after planting. Tomato
plants rightly hardened of will
not be injured by . light frost.
