Future Wealth in Fruit.

What strikes me most favorably,"
said George ]. Gould, "is the fruit posi-
bilities Of Colorado, and believe the fu-
ture wealth Of the state 10 largely GEN.
tered in this industry. There is no rea-
son why Colorado should not supply the
east with pears, peaches, etc. never
tasted as fine favored pears a. those pro-
duced in this state And ~ for melons,
Colorado beats tho world, and the west
ern slope beats Rocky Ford. and that is
saying a great deal. a. tho Rocky Ford
product is noted throughout the east,
but the western slope leads. California,
the past year, sent east 10000 carloads
Of oranges and other fruits. see no
reason why Colorado cannot do the same
thing"
Whsn asked as to contemplated i'm
provements, Mr.. Gould said he had moth
ing definite to give out, a. the present,
being his first trip. was one OF inspec-
ton, but from his convsrsation 1t is owl
dent that the oad-gauging Of the Dem
YER d Rio Grande to Durango has been
discussed with Mr.. jeffrey. ~ we'll as
feasible routes. Mr.. Gould said the di-
versi6ed interests Of this section wore
great, and what had been told him by
Mr. Jeffrey, who predicted = population
for Durango Of 1900 to 10000 inside Of
a few years, he was convinced it had a
promising future.- e.--Denver Republican.

Biz Packing Plant Burned.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Half a million dol
lars worth of buildings and slaughtered
cattle were destroyed by fire which
broke out in the plant Of the g. II. Ham
mond Packing company at Hammond,
Indiana, last night. At midnight four
buildings had toppled over in ruins.
They were the export beef cooler, a four
story brick and frame structure contain
ing thousands of slaughtered cattle; the
Geld storage warehouse for cattle; the
beef slaughtering house, and the sheep
slaughtering house.
Beside these halt dozen other build
ings. occupied as residences by officials
OF the company, and brick structure,
occupied as the general Office, were de-
stroysd.
The one engine company in Hammond
was helpless against the flames, as a
high wind was blowing which sent a
shower OF sparks upon the Unprotected
buildings on every side. Nearly every
body in Hammond hocksd to the fire,
and bucket brigad-s, hundreds to the
squad, began to fight the FIRE. Despite
their willing work. the big sheep slaugh-
ter house caught FIRE. The beef slaugh-
ter house and the cold storage ware
house for cattle was also burned few
minutes later.
Then an appeal was sent 10 Chicago
for help. Several engines were loaded
on care, and a.detsil OF ChicaRo's beet
firemen were started for Hammond at
the rate of As miles per hour.
When tho Chicago forces arrived they
found the four buildings in flames. The
sheep and cattle slaughter houses had
been destroyed and the last portion Of
thrs1alls tumbled down as the men we're
1E.sn barking ! wTne cattle warehouse
was already gora, but the export beef
cooler. tho largest building in the plant
and the placs whore the nre started,
was still standing5
The fremen, seeing there was no
chance to save the burning buildings,
devoted their energies to checking the
advance OF tho flames. The roofs Of
three OF the other buildings in the neigh
borhood caught fre from flying sparks,
but after two -thirds OF the walls OF the
burning structures had tumbled down
the flames were under control.
More than 1000 persons were ON
ployed in the departments destroyed. :.
The plant will be rebuilt at once.

hard killed by the boys under arrest,
and that he ran away from Denver for
fear they would kill him to prevent the
giving Of evidence. While no great
amount OF credence was placed In the
story, the police department consented
to send . man to learn what the boy
could be expected to testify to, and De-
tective Connors was dispatched.

made preparations for hard fought

REGARDED AS FAILURE.
Ballot Law in Maryland Unpopular
With Both Parties.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, November 6, 1901.
The result OF yesterdays election in this
county was not regarded as reassur1ng to
democrats who expected great advantage
from the new election law. The count shows
that the republican ballots spoiled by Hitter
ates Was but slightly in excess of demo-
cratic tickets improperly marked.
This campaign was one of the most slug
gish ever carried on in the county, the
voters generally appearing to take little In
terest in the issues involved. The total vote
was the smallest that has been recorded for
years. and that properly cast and counted
will not exceed 5000 The full registered
vote of the county is in the neighborhood Of
100 The marked variation In the number
of votes received by different candidates of
the same political party would seem to in
dicate a growing spirit of independence
among the voters of the county. close
examination OF the detailed vote will show
that there was difference Of from three to
four hundred In the vote received by some
OF the republican candidates and differences
almost as great among the democratic can
didstes.
Criticisms heard from members of all par
ties lead to the conclusion that the new
election law Is not popular with the people.
The fact that votes are thrown out on ac-
count Of inconsiderable defects and that the
intention of the voter Is totally ignored In
the counting does not appeal to the fair
minded members of either party.

CHURCH ERECTION.
United Brethren CongrepatIou Pre-
pairing to Build House OF worshfp

N.
AT the Quadrenniai general conference or
the United Brethren in Christ, held
in Frederick Nd. last June the GEN.
tennial anniversary OF this denomination.
the Maryland annual conference. upon its
request. was invited with the PENNSYLVANIA
conference, thus bringing Memorial Church
OF this city. at the corner OF r and North
capitol streets. under the Jurisdiction OF
the pennsylvania. a much larger and
stronger conference. In this connection it
Is stated that Memorial Church is fast OUT
growing Its present accommodations, and
rapidly coming to that point where a better
and more commodious building is required
to accommodate the large and increasing
audiences that weekly fill the present struc-
ture. The first quarterly conference OF
the church. under the PENNSYLVANIA con-
ference, met in the church last Saturday
evening: IL was presided over by the Rev.
j. l.. Grimm. presiding elder. The most
important action taken was the decision to
at once take definite steps toward tho
building OF new, more modern and COM
modioGs church edlfice. The board OF trus-
tees consisting OF Messrs Edward Kern,
w. j. Hoffman, Howard L. Morrison John
B. Espey and Edward Spies, were author
lzed TO procure plans. specifications and fig
ures upon q structure most desirable and
adequate TO the needs Of the growing con-
gregation. and to be ready to report at tho
next meeting Of the conference in January
for approval
The pastor Rev. o. w. BURNER was em-
powered to procure subscriptions to the
funds already obtained. Mr.. BURNER is q
young man. and but recently from the
university and seminary. He is popular
with his charge. and is working hard for
the success OF the church. In thirteen
weeks seventy new members have been
added to the church. and there will be furA
ther accessions on the first Sunday In de-
cember.
1t is confidently expected that the erec-
tion OF the new church will begin within
the coming conference year. When the
present church was buiit, about nine years
ago, on what was known as the Blooming
dale subdivision. or West lexington, IL was
then thought that house of worship In
that locality. outside the then city limits.
or Florida avenue. which would seat 10
persons would be ample for future require
ments. IT was little realized that In a very
few years the subdivision, where then but
a half dozen houses stood. was TO be rapid
ly developed, nor was IL anticipated that
within the period Intervening there would
be hundreds of new homes built and oe-

fled With Results.
SULTAN COMEDIES MORE

PARIS. November 7. $40 p.m.-A dispatch
ceived. announcing that he landed marines
on the Island OF Mitylene this morning and
occupied the customs at Midilli without re-
sistance.
The French government has received
satisfactory replies from all the powers.
without exception. to its note explaining the
measures taken against Turkey. An excel
lent impression has been created in official
circles by the tone Of the response Of the
United States, which is couched in the most
friendly terms.
Official advfces received here say the
Turkish authorities have cut the telegraph
line between Mitylene and Constantinople.
Thus Admiral Caillard was unable to COM
municate directly with NJ. Bapst, counsellor
of the French legation at Constantinople,
and was obliged to file all dispatches at
the Island Of Syra.
French Government Pleased.
The French government is fairly satisfied
with the progress already achieved In the
dispute by the naval demonstration. The
sultan has promised to settle all monetary
claims and has offered guarantees which
fall little short Of those demanded. France,
however, will insist on full guarantees, and
also on the surrender Of Turkey in the mat
ter of treaty rights, before evacuating Nifty
lene.
No international complications are antici-
pated, in view of the powers response to
Frances note. and no trouble is expected
on the island itself.
CONSTANTINOPLE, November THE
porte has yielded still further to the French
demands and has notified M. Bapst coun-
seilor of the French embassy that authority
is granted France to rebuild repair six
teen churches, converts and other lnstitu-
tions situated in different villayets.

Better Car Tenders Needed.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

In reading the account of the deplorable
death of our universally liked citizen, Mr..
Williams, In The Star last night. the first
question which presents itself is. What was
the matter with the car fender? None of
the accounts published mentions the fender.
or why it didn't work AS matter of fact
for all practical purposes. the type OF fem
der in use on the 9th street line and other
lines. not only In this city, but in other
cities, is not worth a continental. There
are, however, patented car tenders which.
II adopted by the railroads, would warrant
the belief that they would work satisfac-
torily at all times, and prevent in the fu-
ture such accidents as that which has just
occurred. II the railroad companies of the
District would only appoint a general in
vestigating committee, composed OF one or
two competent men from each road to look
into and decide the question as to which Is
the best type Of fender patented, from the
standpoint OF efnciency and quiciness in
operation and OF absolute safety at all
times. the adoption of such fender would
be step in the right direction.
