JERSEY ORCHARDS RUINED
Cold Wave Npped Small Fruits That
Were In Blossom.

Camden. y. j., April 6.-The severe
cold wave which swept out of the west
and brought freezing temperatures
worked costly havoc with the fruit and
berry crops of .;ew Jersey. Much of
the fruit had progressed to blossoming,
and the cold nipped peaches, plums,
pears, Strawberries and raspberries
with terrible results.
Reports from Atlantic, Burlington,
Cumberland. Salem. Gloucester, Hun
terdOn. Warren and Norris counties
show that many orchards are practi-
cally ruined. while at other points the
damage is almost beyond estimate.
Strawberries In Bad Shape.
HammontOn. n. j., April 6.-The
temperature is down to freezing point.
The indications are that all blossoms
on peach, pear and plum trees will be
killed. The early varieties of straw
berries are fully half in bloom, and
the ground is watersoaked from the
heavy rains. There is no hope that
the strawberries will escape.

BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE
Farmers House Wrecked and Wife
and Son Fatally Injured.

and Son Fatally Injured.
Lancaster, Pa. April 7.-Benjamin
Johnson, a farmer living near Smith
Vile, this county, was seriously and
his wife and l1-year-old son probably
fatally injured by a dynamite explo-
sion. Johnson had been blowing out
stumps, and took the dynamite into his
frame summer house to warm 1t. An
explosion followed. and the summer
house was blown to atoms. All three
were from 20 to 80 yards away from
where the house stood, and the roof OF
the wrecked building fell on Mrs. john
son. Nearly every stitch of her cloth
ing was torn from her body. She was
fearfully battered and bruised, and 1t Is
feared her internal injuries will prove
fatal. The boy was found under the
porch of the main building, uncon-
scious and so badly injured that no
hopes are entertained for his recovery.
Johnson was also blown a considerable
distance antss as unconscious when as
sistance arrived. He is badly hurt, but
1t is not thought his injuries Will prove
fatal. All the windows and doors in
the main dwelling were blown out.
In the debris were found IS sticks Of
dynamite which had failed to explode.
johnson had bought "a sticks and used
several, SO that ii is thought that not
more than two sticks caused the acci-
dent.

The common, or banded, rattlesnake
extends from Maine to Texas. Once
generally abundant, it is happily now
rare animal save in the more thinly in

western states. 1t may attain n length
of five feet, with large triangular and
flattened head. 1t feeds on rabbits,
rats ard squirrels and is for the most
part slow and sluggish animal, wait

more dangerous, as it may be stepped

suit. But it never either attacks spon-
