A MARROW ESCAPE

For the b. & 0. Depot and It's Occu-
pants-A Tramp Builds a Fire ON
the Floor.
the B. e o. and a tramp who gave his
name as Dan Donovan had a narrow
escape from being burned in the B. &
O. depot on South street. 1t was
through the watchfulness of Detective
Hatfield, of the B. G O. that the catas-
trophe was averted. The railroad men
were sleeping in the second story of
the building.
Donovan was under the influence of
liquor and wandered into the first floor
and started a fire near the stairway
and went to sleep. The fire when it
was fairly started blazed nearly to the
ceiling, and being only about four feet
from the stairway scorched it badly.
Had it not been disturbed at the time
it was the building would have been
in flames in a few minutes.
The B. & o. employees were badly
frightened, but Donovan was too drunk
to know how near he had been to
death. A complaint was made before
Squire Fitzpatrick and last night he
was placed under $500 bonds to appear
before the grand jury. Donovan told
a story at the hearing about not know
ing what he had done and said he had
been robbed early in the evening of

Front OF me FennsyAvani1 Train.
There was quite a smash-up yester-
day morning a the Ohio River
round house at the foot OF Thirty
fifth street, which mashed up eight
Pennsylvania freight cars and blocked
traffic for about two hours. Passenger
Brakeman Clark, of the Ohio River,
was out ahead of engine %, which
was to pull the Ohio Valley express
over that road. There is a bad net
work OF switches at the point the
wreck occurred.
Clark tagged a Terminal yard crew
with a string Of cars in order to get
out first. The Terminal train pulled
up with several OF their cars standing
on the trestle w the La Belle land
ing. Clark evidently did not see the
Panhandle yard engine with a string
of loaded cars, for he threw the
switch, to let his engine out, right in
front of the approaching train, which
ran into it, smashink into the middle
of the Terminal string and side-wiping
engine %.
-Four of the Terminal cars were
wrecked, two going over the trestle.
Four loaded gondolas of the Pam
Handle train were mashed up and
thrown off the track. The track in the
vicinity was badly torn up. Luckily
no one was hurt, but two tramps who
were riding on the Terminal cars had
a narrow escape from injury.
A gang of wreckers from the Penn
sylvania was put to work on the wreck
as soon as possible and in two hours
had the Ohio River main line clear.
Late last night the men were still
working and had the wreckage nearly
cleaned up.
1t was reported here yesterday that
Clark, the brakeman, handed in his
resignation as soon as his train pulled
into Parkersburg. Officials on the
scvene OF the wreck yesterday would
not place the blame of the accident on
anybody. The cars on the Panhandle
train, which were mashed up, were
loaded with iron from the mills, and
also coke.

Pecan Culture in the south.

We are quite sure that the interest
in pecan culture is waxing instead of
waning. We Judge so from the repeat
ed inquiries concerning the matter In
the various agricultural papers and
from conversation with intelligent
landowners now and then. Many peo-
pie may be misled by exaggerated
claims made for pecan growing by
those interested in the sale of trees or
seed nuts. Many may mislead them
selves through their exalted estimate
of their capacity to make a success Of
what they undertake. This is some
times the case.
Now, many be led to believe that a
pecan tree will begin to bear at three
or four years of age and yield pro(ita-
BILE crops at six or seven years. A
person without experience or observa-
ton might be induced readily to be-
lieve this, and to proceed with enthu-
siasm to set grove. What one tree
out of a thousand may be made to do
on rich soil and with high cultivation
is not to be taken as the average for
even 100 trees out of a thousand. There
is a vast difference in the growth of
pecans on upland and upon bottom
land, and there is the same difference
between raising the nuts for eating
purposes and raising them for seed-to
sell as such. The one may sell for 80
cents or more per pound, while the
other may be slow sale at ten cents or
less.
We do not know the maximum Weld
of the best 12-year-o old trees, put we
would like to start a grove TN Ter a
guarantee of 20 or % pounds Of mer-
charitable nuts for the 10th year from
seed.
We would encourage those who are
favorably situated for the purpose to
establish a pecan grove, but we would
have them enter upon the undertaking
without any exaggerated expectations,
but realizing how slow the growth of
what is excellent" The hard, firm
wood of the hickory and the pecan is
of steady but slow growth. They are
to endure for many, very many years.
We do not think there is much dan
ger OF over production in the South of

Fighting the Melon Blight.

Gardeners have many theories re-
garding the destructive blight of melon
vines that blackens whole fields of
these delicious fruits just as the old
est melons approach maturity says
the Rural New Yorker. No matter how
healthy and luxuriant the plants may
be; how thorough the cultivation, nor
how generous the supply of plant food
may have appeared at planting time.
the dreaded brown spots are almost
certain to appear on the foliage at the
base of the vines, shriveling the leaves
and spreading with disheartening ra-
pdity out to the youngest growths,
until the field looks as though ii had
been subjected to a killing frost. The
vines stay green and plump for some
time after the leaves are gone, but the
melons remain absolutely in a stage
OF arrested development. those not
ready for table gaining nothing more
in sweetness or flavor, but falling into
insipd decay as the leafless vine perish
es. The rapid progress of the blight,
often spreading in day or two from
given point over the whole patch,
and the partial immunity that goes
with a thorough use of the copper fun
gicides, when begun at an early period
in the development of the vines. quite
conclusively prove 1t to be of fungous
character, though many practical
growers who have repeatedly witness
ed the devastation of their fields,
claim 1t to be simply unpreventable
sun scald. The most violent attacks
generally occur when hot sunshine
closely follows profuse rains, but this
is precisely the condition that most ia
vors the spread of germ troubles. The
melon blight, though not unknown in
early days, has spread nearly over the
country in its destructive form, and is
most prevalent in the older melon
growing sections, where the soil seems
thoroughly infected. 1t is beginning
to affect the Rocky Ford melon fields,
although the dry climate does not ia
vor its development. and II seems to
be only a question of time before 1t In
vades any new tract upon which mel
ons are grown. While II attacks all
melons, the better varieties OF musk
melons are most subject. Watermelons
and some OF the coarser cantaloupes
are partially resistant, and in tavora-
BILE seasons often escape serious In
Jury, though the most successful grow
ers count on a yearly curtailment of
the crop from this cause.

MARION CIRCUIT COURT.

Correspondence Morning News.
Ocala, Fla. Oct. 26.-At the term OF
Circuit Court just ended. John Ash
wood. colored. who murdered a negro
woman. Rose Marshall. at Orange
Lake last June, was convicted and
sentenced to ninety-nine years in the
penitentiary. No true bill was found
against John Wiley for shooting
George Pendarvis, at Moss Bluff. last
August. The case against F. D. Poo
ser, formerly tax collector, who was
suspended four years ago, because of
hiatus of $4,000 between the Eabil-
tiles and assets of his office, was con-
tinued. Judge Bullock, the present
judge of the court. having been the de-
PENDANTS attorney in most of the
cases. the suits against Pooser's
bondsmen were continued for the same
reason. The Supreme Court has re-
versed the sentence of the Circuit
Court in the case of Nicholas P. My
ers, who was convicted last year Of
the murder of l. o. Arms, near East
lake, Marion country in 1897. The case
has been tried three times, and finally
resulted in a sentence of twenty years
for Myers. He will now be brought
back from the penitentiary and tried
at the next term of Circuit Court.

by supplying them with abundant So
luble plant food at the critical period
of greatest strain when the prepared
fertility in the hill was becoming ex-
hausted. When the first melons attain
ed a diameter of two or three inches,
five-inch flower pots were sunk in
each hill. a tablespoonful of nitrate of
soda thrown in and the pot filled with
water. which gradually soaked into the
soil, distributing the fertilizer. This
was repeated two times, adding as
much bone phosphate and muriate of
potash at alternate applications. Sew
eral hills were left without prepara-
ton as cheeks. Although the growing
season was too rainy for the best re-
suits of such stimulating treatment,
the treated plants grew much more
vigorously resisted the blight longer
and ripened the only well-f1avored mel
ons we secured. Two applications of
dry Bordeaux powder were made when
blight was first noticed, and it I'M
doubtedly delayed the spread of the
disease, which was very gradual. There
was enough difference in the behavior
of the stimulated plants to warrant
repeated trials, and better results may
be possible In a normal or dry season.
The idea is to feed the plants just at
the time the rapidly developing fruits
demand the greatest activity in the
elaboration of the sap by the foliage.
The plants under trial all had a plenti-
full supply of compost in the hills, but
it is probable that nitrification of or
ganic manufes may not go on quite
rapidly enough at the moment of SUI
preme demand to preserve the vigor of
the plant and enable it to resist para
site germs.
