Picking and sertiss Apples.
Fred WeIlhouse-

Fred Weilnouse-
We pick our apples, large and sm all
good and bad, clean from the trees at
one picking. and do all sorting At the
packing house. We have tried sorting
direct from the trees. but it never gave
satisfaction and we aiways had to sort
again. This is the most particular work
We have TO do and requires great care
in selecting help for this purpose.
Women often make excellent sorters
but We have never had success with
boys or girls, either in the field or in
the packing house. Young Farmers
from twenty to forty years Of age. used
to hard work have given the best re-
suits as pickers but most OF our best
sorters come from town.
Our outfit for sorting and packing is
. platform or floor sixteen by thirty / wo
feet with table along one side four
feet wide and thirty inches high. two
dozen one-half bushel baskets. three or
four light hatchete, two barrcl-presses.
plenty Of barrels, liners and nails. Our
platforms are sometimes made in sec
tions, so that We can move them 10 any
part OF the orchard. The sorting is
done from these boxes while. on the
table: Apples OF the first grade are put
in barrels, the second are hauled in
wagons and loaded into cars in bulk,
while those Of the third are carried to
pile. Our tirst grade embraces all
sound apples above twoand one-Quarter
inches in diameter, the second all above
one and one half inches that are not
badly damaged. and the third Ill below
one and one e-half inches ana ail that are
badly injured. This grade We sell to
neighbors at ten cents hundred or five
cents a bushel and th-y load them into
their wagons from the pile.
This grade is OF too little value 10
bear the cost Of shipping and must be
sold at home. The second grade We
nearly always sell in bulk in carload
lots. They usually go to localities where
apples are scarce. Last year ws sold
seven carloads to one firm for sixty cents
per cvt. They shipped them tol small
towns in Nebraska and sold readily at
good profit. Twenty yesrs ago r6lIyoad
rates wers % high that there wa al
most an embargo on this clsss OF apples.
We then paid as high as sl.lo per cwt
to Denver. now we get rates for ono.
third this amount. Last year We sold
two carloads TO canning factory Tor
forty cents per cwt. This. I believe, is
the first We have sold to the canneries
but We expect to sell largely to them
this year.
The highest price We ever received
Tor culls was sixty cents per cwt and
the average for twenty years has been a
little over thirty-six cents or eighteen
cents a bushel I o b cars. We had
trouble at first in loading cars in bulk.
The railroad requires a minimum OF
"a ,0oO pounds and TO get this amount
in we had to pile them three or four
feet deep. This required the men to
get onto the apples with their feet.
which bruised them badly We f1ually
arranged sliding door or partition the
width OF the car aud three feet high,
set at an angle. with braces TO hold it
in place. This door we placed near the
end Of the car and piled the apples in
behind and when filed to the proper
depth the door was pulled forward.
This enabled us to fill the car with q
minimum amount OF bruising.

Crusade Against Restriction of British
 Output by Trades Untontsts.

London, Jan. 27.-The crusade inaug- urated by The London Times and sec onded by other English papers, against restriction of output by trades union ists, is apparently bearing fruit. At a meeting of the conciliation board of the North of England iron and steel trade, to-day, Thomas Bayley, M. P, in speaking in behalf of the iron masters, appealed to the workers to support the employers in their effort to re-capture the worlds trade. He said that some employers had spent G60,OO0 during the past year in improving their plants and it only remained to secure the loyal CO., operation of the men.
 MT. Cox in responding for the men, said that he could promise there would be no restriction of output. The men would welcome any improvement aid- ing them in the coming contest for the worlds supremacy, MT. Bayley as sured the men that if they accorded their employers their best support there was no reason why England should not hold the first rank and secure orders which were now going to America and Germany.

FOR A PURCHASE CLAUSE
WATER CONTRACT AMENDMENTS
 PROPOSED BY MIR. WHITNEY.
To Provide That the Company be Ex- empted From Franchise Tax Only and That the City May Purchase at the End of Thirty Years-Special Meeting O COuncilmen to Act on the Matter To- night-The Mayors Message.
night-The Mayors Message.

President Eli Whitney of the New Haven Water company last night transmitted to Mayor Studley the fol- lowing communication concerning the proposed continuing contract between the city and the water company:
 New Haven, Conn, Jan. 27, 1902. Hon. John P. Studley, Mayor of the
 City of New Haven, New Haven,
 Conn:
 Sir: The attention of the officials of the New Haven Water company has just been directed to your message in relation to the insertion of a purchase clause in the so-called continuing con- tract, which is before the court of com- mon council.
 In difference to your views and to those of others who are of the same opinion, and after full consideration, the company has decided to accept such an amendment to the contract, and herewith presents a draft thereof.
  the opinion of the corporation counsel, that section ten as drawn, may possi- ply require the city to guarantee the company against the payment of taxes upon it's property in adjoining towns. We do not believe that the contract would be so construed and no such thought ever occurred to us in drafting it. We very willinging agree that clause be inserted which shall place the meaning beyond doubt.
 At the suggestion of the corporation counsel, a clause has been added at the end of paragraph 10, which plainly states that if the city does not comply with it's agreement to save the com- pany harmless against franchise tax, etc., it shall incur no liability except to pay for the water it uses.
 A re-draft of paragraph 10 including such clauses, is herewith submitted.
 Respectfully submitted, The New Haven Water Company,
 By Eli Whitney. President.
 The following is a draft of vote enl- bodying the amendments to the con- tract proposed by MT. Whitney, accom- panied the communication to the mayor and will be offered at the meeting of the board of councilmen to be held to- night
 Voted, That the proposed contract as by the committee on wa ter known as the continuing contract, or contract No. 3, be amended as fol- lows:

ROBBERS HOLD UP EXPRESS
AUDICIOUS PIECE OF YORK ON
 THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
Passenger Train from Charleston Taken IA Over on Nearly tho Exact Site of tho Successful Robbery Two Years Ago The Local and Through Safes Rifled-- Extent of PIunder Not Known.

| Branchville, S. C., Jan. 27.-A care l fully planned and audacious express
 robbery occurred about o'clock this | evening on the Southern railway, when 1 the passenger train from Charleston | reached nearly the exact site of the
 successful robbery of two years ago, l five miles from BranchYille Seven or l eight men were riding on the platform 1 between the engine and baggage car concealed by the darkness. None was
 masked. At the fifty-five-mile board | two men crawled over the tender and covered the engineer, John Reynolds, with Winchesters. They fired two shots, one ball passing through Reynolds cap. Fireman Cobb escaped by jumping off. Conductor Black, who ran out, was cov- cred and ordered Back. By order of these men a brakeman uncouped the express car, mail and baggage cars, which were taken to the fifty-eighth station, leaving the rest of the cars on the main line. Here several shots were fired into the express car and one man
 climbed up, covered Express Messenger
 Hall with Winchester and compelled
 I
 tered the car and stripped the local
 safe. After threatening Hall with in-
 stant death if he did not open the
 through safe, and finding he knew
 nothing of the combination, the safe
 was rolled out on the platform Then
 the engineer was ordered to return with
 the three cars to the train, and he
 obeyed bringing the train without fur
 ther incident to Branchville Nothing
 was seen of the men or the safe on
 passing fifty-eight There was only a small amount of booty in the local safe,
 and no one here knows the contents of
 the through safe. No mail or baggage was touched and no passengers were molested. The robbers took the pistols from the only employees were were arm ed, and resistance was out of the ques- tion No measures have been taken so far to follow the robbers.
 Their leader is supposed to be Barton Warren, who was arrested on a charge of having robbed the Southern express car just below Branchville in the fall of 1899, single handed. The case re- suited in a mistrial and bail was fur nished. A few days before the next session of the court, five months ago, he killed Thomas Watson, his former friend, but one of the principal wit nesses against him.
 Warren has been at large since. and some say that he has been seen in Branchville at night several times since, though $500 reward had been of fered for his capture. Since the killing it is said that there has been another attempt, before the daring performance of to-day, to rob the express train be- tween Branchvile and Orangeburg.

 Nearly S4,OOO.

The two and one-haIf story frame building at the rear of 156 Whalley ava- nue, occupied by the Reeves Manufan- turing company, was gutted by a fire which broke out about Il o'clock last night. An alarm was rung from box 6S at the corner of Whalley avenue and Orchard street and when the firemen arrived they found that the flames had gained great headway.
 It was feared that the livery stable of w. E. Roberts, located between tho shop and Whalley avenue and close to the shop would be destroyed and the efforts of the firemen were directed to- keeping the flames from the stable The horses were removed but the firemen managed to prevent the blaze from spreading to the stable.
 The shop was used by the Reeves Manufacturing company for the manu- fracture of clock works and novelties and the loss to that company will prob- ably amount to between $3,000 and $4,- 900, partially covered by insurance. The cause of the fire had not been definitely ascertained last night.

 Company-FamtIy at Bedside. Thomas Attwater Barnes, who was
 one of the most active and best known 1 business men in New Haven, died at the Hotel Van Nuys in Los Angeles, Cali 1 fornia, at 10 o'clock yesterday morning as a result of a stroke of apoplexy. The stroke that caused the death of MT. Barnes came upon him while he was at the hotel Saturday afternoon, and from the time he was first taken he sank rap- idly and was given up early yesterday morning by his attending physicians. Major Barnes left New Haven for California with his family on Friday, January 17, to attend the wedding of his eldest son, Amos Foote Barnes, which was to- have taken place in Mon terey next Monday. His son is to be married to Miss Beatrice LeBoutillier, of Philadelphia, and the wedding was to have taken place at the Hotel Del monte.
 When he left New Haven Major Barnes was in good health apparently, and the news of his death comes as great shock to his friends in this city. The first word of his illness was receiv- ed by Charles R. Bishop, one of MT. Barnes closest friends in this city, at 1:10 D. m. Sunday, and from that time until the dispatch announcing his death MT. Bishop received messages almost hourly from one of the sons of the de- ceased The second dispatch received by MT. Bishop announced that there had been a consultation of physicians, and that they had decided that MT. Barnes had suffered partly from en- largement of the heart and that there was little hope. The last message re- ceived, and the one announcing the death of MT. Barnes, was received at 4:40 yesterday afternoon and it read as follows:
 Father passed away peacefully at 10 o'clock. Amos"
 With him at his deathbed were his devoted wife and his two sons, Amos Foote Barnes and Frank Goffe Phipps Barnes.
 MT. Barnes was born in New Haven January 13. 1S48 and was the only son of Amos F. and Nancy R. Attwater Barnes, By his death one of the most active and influential business men in New Haven is taken away, and his loss will be keenly felt in this city, where he made his home during his entire life. He was man who was always alive to
