big PEACH CROP
EORCHN UP PRICE
Fitting Up Of Many Freight
Cars CrippleS Trans
pOrtatiOn

Owing to the fact that so many cars
OF the p, w. & B. Railroad Company
have been fitted up for the coming
fruit season. the price of produce is
likely to remain high throughout the
Summer. Reports from Maryland and
Virginia are to the effect that there is
no famine Of the white potato crop, as
has been currently reported, but that
a balk in transportation facilities is re-
sponsible for the condition OF affairs.
In order to handle the enormous
peach crop Of the Peninsula, it Is alb
.solutely necessary to fit the cars with
shelvings. While thus fitted they can
not be used for anything else, and as
a consequence, transportation facilities
are handicapped.
From hotel proprietors and boarding
house people comes a wall at the steep
prices Of potatoes and tomatoes, and
some Of the latter contemplate cutting
the two above named articles Of diet
out Of the daily menu
Commission men who were seen to-
day expressed themselves as believing
that prices would soon go higher. and
further stated that they would in all
probability take a short drop, but that
produce would be unusually steep

BLOW ON THE HEAD
MADE THIS Man INSANE

Chicago, Aug 6.--That the peculiar
insanity Of the late Frank Howard
Collier resulted from a blow received
on the head from supposedly political
antagonists several years ago was
practically decided yesterday by sew
eral physicians, who removed his brair
for the purpose of a careful examina
ton.
The discovery Is Of special interest
from the fact that it has been an ac
copied theory among medical men thai
the kind Of insanity from which Col
lier suffered. technically known a.
circular insanity" never occurred ex
cept as a result of hereditary faint
II the conclusions reached after the
first investigation prove correct this
theory will have to be abandoned.
