WILL BE BIG FRUIT CROP.

State Entomologist Scott is of the
opinion that-a large fruit crop will be
marketed this year, and in an inter
view in the Atlanta Journal. states
that the commission men and the fruit
growers will be kept busy handling
peaches and other fruits. despite the
statements of many people to the effect
that the crop would amount to prac-
tically nothing. Speaking of the con-
dition of the fruit Mr.. Scott said: In
Guiding this year Georgia has had three
peach crops in succession and four in
the last five years, the buds for the
crop of 1899 having been destroyed by
the unprecedented freeze in February
of that year. This is a good record
for the peach industry and one that is
quite unusual. Except for weather
conditions, however. such a record can
be maintained, since the peach is fully
capable of annual bearing when proper
ly fed. Barring frosts and freezes the
Georgia peach orchards can be made to
bear every year by judicious pruning,
thorough cultivation, and the applica-
ton of the fertilizing ingredients neces-
sary to maintain the crop without inn
pairing the trees, and spraying for the
protection of the trees and the. fruit
against the ravages of insects and dis
eases. 1t is a significant fact that the
orchards bearing the best crop this
year are for the most part, those that
received thorough cultivation last year.
while neglected orchards are practical
ly destitute of fruit. The Brown Rot
disease which developed to such an
alarming extent early in the season in
all sections of the state has subsidized
and with favorable weather conditions
the fruit will be expected to go on the
market in good condition"

gratifying to hear the advocates of
both Mr.. Terrell and Mr.. Query speak
in such high praise of Col. ]. H Estill
They all say that for good reasons
they advocate their respective candi-
dates but that as a second choice they
would gracefully and gladly accept
Colonel Estill for the position of gov
ernor. The supporters of the other
candidates have never yet uttered a
word against him. Colonel Estill is a
man of strong character, as has been
demonstrated in all his relations with
his fellow men, and would make
Georgia an illustrious governor. OF
the trio of candidates we consider his
prospects decidedly best.

INHERITs VAST FORTUNE.

A recent Associated Press dispatch
gave brief account of a man from
Georgia" creating a sensation in Bel
fast, Ireland, by laying claim to a
vast inheritance there. A dispatch
from Gainesville. Ga, to the Atlanta
Journal throws light on the subject. 1t
says: The facts are the mysterious
man is Mr. Frank Roark, whose home
is below Atlanta, and the estate re-
fererd to is estimated at IS, 00O, 900. Mr.
Roark is a native of New York state,
from whence the dispatch came. but
has resided in Georgia for a number
of years past, preferring our mild cli-
mate. He is a cousin of Mr. Page
Roark and Mr.. Park Lathem of
Gainesville. Last December he came
here to obtain facts as to his ances-
tors and connections from the branch
OF the family here, having heard that
an immense fortune awaited them in
the Old Country. and arming himself
with data, evidence and credentials
sufficient he thought to establish his
claim, sailed for England and went
from there to Belfast, Ireland, to re-
cover the inheritance which, according
TO the rule in the empire, reverted to
the government until legal claim is es-
tablished. On arriving in London he
traced his ancestry from there and
found that his grandfather and three
brothers left Ireland for the United
States about 100 years ago. leaving
fourth brother his great uncle. Page
Roark, for whom Page Roark and
Page Lathem of this city are named.
in Belfast. This great-uncle died about
fif years ago, leaving large estate.
The income from that estate has been
put in the Bank of England to await
a claim of the heirs at law. The es-
tate consists of lands and the accumu-
lated incomes from it. Mr.. Roark has
established his claim to the property
and thinks that in a very short time
he will be able to return home with
several million dollars. Mr. Roark be-
came i'll some time ago and has been
in the hospital there for several weeks.
The heirs at law here who are named
for this deceased relative. feel sure
that the claim of relationship is so
complete that no formidable legal pro-
cess will be instituted to defeat their
claim The heirs here have kept the
matter from the public. as they wished

possession of the facts. as some would
term it chasing a rainbow

The Vanished Apron.
Springfield Republican.

There was time, well within the mem
DRY of the oldest inhabitant, when an apron
was an absolute necessity. No woman
thought of sitting down of an afternoon
without DOMINIC it; when she went out on
the street Ii was an ornamental portion of
the wardrobe; when she attended church
it was still in evidence. In fact, it was the
fashion.
The only difference lay i'm its color and
style. The Sunday apron was of black
silk, trimmed with ribbons, velvet and lace
with narrow ruft1es all around and across
the pockets; the everyday one was the Sum
day apron before the last, looking not quite
SO fresh, but eminently respectable

JURY FAILED TO AGREE.
No Verdict Reached In the Rolia
CIingman Murder Trial.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
RUSHVILLE, Ind, Oct. 3.-The jury In
the case OF Rolla A. Clingman, charged
with the murder of w. Stewart Miller,
after being out twenty hours, failed to
agree. The case went to the jury at 8
o'clock Thursday evening and the jury re-
ported its disagreement at l o'clock to-day.
The members stood eight for conviction
and four for acquittal, and there they re-
NAMED immovable. The people are not
pleased with the situation. as there have
been many murders here I'm the last few
years, and only a few convictions in the
minor degrees.
In the forenoon, yesterday, Mrs. Miller,
widow of the murdered man, was placed
on the stand at the request OF the state,
but her evidence was practically the same
as had been given by her in the prelimi-
nary examination.
Deputy Prosecutor J. T. Arbuekle opened
the case for the prosecution. He was fol-
lowed by w. A Brown, of New Castle, for
the defense. After dinner Representative
James f. Watson spoke for the defense.
tie opened his speech with a statement TO
the jury of the great responsibility 1T was
under and OF the grave offense with which
the prisoner was charged. He reviewed the
circumstances OF the shooting and dwelt
particularly on the meeting of the two men
and the presumption that Clingman heard
Miller would do him harm. He read SUI
preme Court decisions on the law of self
defense and argued the case in clear and
forceful manner Prosecutor Alonzo Blair
or Shelbyville. made the closing speech for
the State. The courtroom, halls and gal
leries were all filled to OVERLOOKING by peo-
pie who came from all parts of the county
for the closing scenes OF the trial.
One peculiar feature of this trial is that
James K. Watson and j. T. Arbuckle, Re
representative of the Sixth district, were
opposing counsel.

SITUATION LOOKS BETTER
NEW ORLEANS STREET-RAILWAY
STRIKE MAY END SOON.
Retail Merchants Take Vigorous
Hand i'm the Game-MOre Confer
ences Held, with Some Result.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 3.-The street car
strike situation took new turn this after
noon when the big retail merchants of the
city took steps to have some kind OF an
agreement reached. Retail trade has
suffered greatly, and this afternoon the
merchants met at the St. Charles Hotel
and decided that unless the strike was
called off by Saturday night they would all
close their establishments indefinitely,
throwing out of employment about 1900
clerks. The merchants then turned their
attention to effecting some kind OF set
Element, and after a conference with the
mayor, railway officials and carmen sep
arately finally brought about conference
of all three elements. This began at
o'clock and lasted until nearly o'clock.
1t was the first time the railway officials
and the entire executive board of the
union had met since the trouble began.
President Pearson, of the railway COM
pany, submitted a proposition that the men
return to work and then arbitrate the al
legged violations of the old agreement,
new proposition TO be considered If the
agreement is declared to have been vio-
lated, the rate of wages and hours to date
from the time the men go back to work.
The Garments attorney, speaking for them,
urged their demand. which is in effect the
same, except that the men shall be paid
at the rate of % cents an hour for eight
hours from the moment they return to
work, the old agreement to hold good If 1t
was found not to have been violated.
The car mems committee went back to
the union hall to submit the proposition
to the men.
Before the conference of the three ele-
ments was resumed the merchants CON-
mittee began work on a compromise pro-
posal and got the car mems committee 10
agree to it at IL ID. m. They then went into
conference with the railways officials. The
proposition is that the men go back to work
tomorrow, that the violations of the old
agreement be submitted TO arbitration, and
that If the agreement is declared violated
the decision to carry with II a wage scale
of % cents an hour and eight hours. This
is a reduction of cents an hour from the
original demand. The railway company
will not consent to any arbitration on the
question of wages or hours. The railway
company did not make any attempt to run
passenger cars to-day. They did not get
many answers TO their advertisements for
by mail. They took a preliminary step in
notifying the mayor that they intended to
operate their cars and asking for the prop
er protection. The mayor promised this
protection whenever IL was needed
The only violence was the cutting of some
more trolley wires during the night on
CarrolltOn avenue.
