There are no 'Loathsum objecks'' in Springfield
sitting barrels For the last few weeks every
body has been enthusiastic about the celebration of
fftieth anniversary the foundation of Spring
field city For miles around the country the
interest has been shown and. beginning to-day the
celebration marks new era in the history of
Of the choice cities in the United States. Spring
field stands a city Of the most beautiful natural
surroundings. particularly favored in it's geographi-
cal location. well equipped for the performance of
its State duties the centre of what is termed the
conservatism of Massachusetts,. and-from the
point of view of the social economist-the one city
tn the whole United States which has no poor
class"
Just now Springfield has put aside for the mo-
rnent her accustomed calm. and is gay. She pro-
poses to skip about bit and dance-dance in a
oignihed manner, to be sure but nevertheless
dance. She will even go far as 10 sing. She
will lift her dimity skirts bit and skip playfully-

dignihed dame of that give herself the pleas
ure Of renewing her youth and remembering her
early conQUests?
Springfield was Incorporated a city May 25

continent the most beautifully shaded streets and
the best natural park of any municipality in the
United States All these things, and more are not
the growth Of the fifty years. They are the rea-
sonabe result Of 2e6 years Of fighting for what
seemed 10 be best.
The celebration beginning to-day has a double
significance, for II not only marks the golden an
niversary of the city. but marks, too the 2ssth
anniversary Of the settlement of the town. It was
IN May, 1886. that William Pynchon and his band
of pioneers made their settlement at Agawam.
With twenty OF his neighbors, who longed for a
greater freedom than that granted by the pro-
prietors OF the Massachusetts, Bay colony at Bos-
ton town. he tramped over the Indian trails, after
ward the famous Bay Path, toward the valley Of
the Connecticut and where the city of Springfield
now stands he pitched his camp. William Pyn-

with the church authorities, and 10 escape trial

that OF the valley in which the family made it's
home.
The celebration proper begins to-day, though last
night in Sprfngheid's old Court Square the ilIu-
ra;nation was most brilliant and when the City
Hall clock struck IL thousands of voices sang the
s.Jubtlee" hymn.
In all the city churches to-day-and there are
forty-eight OF them-sermons will be delivered
which bear upon ehe lessons TO be drawn from the
career of the city. In the afternoon there will be
grand choral festival in Springields Forest Park.

CALIFORNIA TOPICS,

San Francisco. May 23.-One Of the greatest
industrial projects in California is the Stanis-
laus Water and Power Company. which has
been incorporated for S2.500.OO0 to generate
electric power in the foothills Of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains and transmit it TO San
Francisco. William II. Croker will furnish
most of the capital for the new company. The
project includes the Of water from the
middle fork Of the Stanislaus River twenty-five
miles above Sonora The watershed above the
intake is from 5000 20 12-OO0 feet above sea
level and extends to the main crest Of the
Sierra After sixteen miles Of fiune a vertical
fall OF 15O0 feet is secured near Murphy's
where the power plant will be built. Seven
thousand inches Of water will generate p. 600
horsepower for this city. The remainder OF the
water will be carried across the canyon through
inverted siphon. which is without equal in
the world in regard to its size and the pressure
under which it will be operated. The plant will
cost S2O00OOO.
The distribution this week of the estate OF
James G. Fair to his three children arks the
end of one of the most remarkable will contests
in California legal annals Fair desired to es-
tablish trust and tie up his $20OO0OOO estate
that his children could not ALLEVIATE any OF
the property. He had a Will drawn which he
thought impregnable. but the court held that
it violated the constitution. and the end OF the
whole matter was that the estate divided
among three children precisely as though he
had left no Will. The three heirs are Mrs Her
mann OelriChs and Mrs W. X. Vanderbilt. jr.. OF
New-York and Charles L. Fair. of San Fran
cisco. Most Of the estate divided some
months ago. but nearly SI.OooO0O Of personal
property was distributed this week. Six legal
firms and four lawyers engaged in the case will
receive nearly $2.0O0O00 in fees. CARRIER. Bishop

There was a fairly good demand last
week for fruits ana vegetables, though
there was not as much call for the high
priced lines as there was Just before Easter.
Such vegetables as radishes, lettuce, green
onions and spinach are coming on the mar
ket a little more freely. but the demand
is fully equal to the supply, and prices
nave not changed materially. though the
tendency is downward. Strawberries are
also coming in, and by the middle OF the
month II is thought the stock viii be in
shipping condition. AS yet practically
nothing has been sent to the country trade.
In another column the prices at which the
staple lines OF both fruits and vegetables
are selling will be found.
Receipts OF eggs were quite liberal last
week, but the demand was about equal 70
the occasion, and although prices fuctuated
back and forth there was not much change
as compared with a week ago. Poultry has
been scarce all the week. ard the demand
active, so that prices are GOOD and firm.
Butter has also been in light supply. and
the market strong. and IL Is thought tina
receipts will continue light for two or three
weeks more.
Green hsh IL expected on the market
some time this week.
