The first crop usually planted in the
farm garden is oneNof the earliest va
rieties of peas. On account of the
hardness of the plant no amount Of
cold weather will do much injury af-
ter the peas are once up, but when
planted extremely early part of the
seed will rot in the ground, causing
many gaps in the row. Early in the
season usually there is little nitrogen
in the soil and the plants grow very
slowly at first. A little nitrate of soda
applied in the row at the time of SOW
ing will hurry the growth of peas
The market value of the crop depends
largely upon its earliness. The kinds
which do not require bushlng are most
popular for farm use. The late kinds
often do not produce crop until warm
weather comes. and for that reason are
often attacked by blight, which may
be prevented by spraying with bor-
deaux mixture, same as for apple trees.

Cabbage Rot May Come from seed

Cabbage Rot May Come from Seed.
Black rot has been very destructive
upon cabbage and caBiifower in New
York State, and any means Of relief,
even slight, will be welcomed by grow
ers. Recent investigation by the sta
ton at Geneva have proven that the
germs of the disease may be carried
over winter on the dry seed. a fact pre-
viously doubted by scientists, and that
these germs may produce the disease
when inoculated into healthy plants.
1t is, therefore, wise precautioR to
disinfect the cabbage seed, as remov-
ing one possible source of infection.
This can be done very cheaply, easily
ard safely, by soaking the seed for
fifteen minutes in corrosive sublimate
solution, one TO one thousand strength.

s Good Craftine Wax.

For good, all-around grating wax,
to be used for any purpose for which
such wax is used, try the follow wing:
Take four pounds of rosin, one pound
Of beeswax and one pint Of linseed OIL
Put these in an iron kettle, put over a
slow fire and mix thoroughly while
heating. Then pour in the mass some
cold water and pull the wax with the
hands until it is the color of light
molasses eandy-a light cream. Pull
into the form of sticks and put away
in a cool place until wanted for use

Morgan-Mrs. f. d. Mckay and
George Manning have returned from
Kalamazoo, Mich, where they at
tended the funeral of their mother,
Mrs. Nancy a. Morgan, aged sixty

would make loop and run south I'M
der the Pennsylvania railroad cul-
vert into Glen Miller park. The new
roadway would there make a june
ture with the driveway about Glen
Miller lake at the northern end of
the lake. This boulevard would be
macadamized and beautiful shade
trees set along the roadside.
The proposed athletic park will be
on the south side Of J street and west
OF Twentieth street, near the Nine
teenth street circus grounds. In the
athletic park it is the plan of Mr..
Weber to have regulation half mile
track and a cOmmOdious amphitheat-
re. The ground within the race track
can be used for a baseball diamond,
football ,gridiron, or a place to
hold field games.
In the plans it is arranged that
the car lines be extended from North
E street across the Nineteenth street
bridge to North H street, which
would make the cars pass the athletic
ampitheater, thence east on H street
to Twentieth street, then north on
Twentieth street to J street, where it
is planned to have a loop on the
north side of j street in front Of the
Chautauqua pavilion.

STREET RAILWAY COMPANY
Doing the Work and the City Has
Nothing to Do With It.
Editor Palladium:

Editor Palladium:
I desire to correct the following
statement that appeared in your pa
per in an article "Through Cars are
to be Rum Etc. You said, "Sever-
al days ago the city engineers force
began to cut the grade of Main
street twelve inches, accomplishing
the same result. The work was done
with the announcement that the es-
tablished grade of the street was
really twelve inches lower,etc.' Your
article infers that the city engineer
was doing the work and lowering the
street twelve inches. The fact of the
matter is, the Street Ry. Company is
doing the work, the city has nothing
whatever to do with it. The work
was commenced and executed in the
usual manner corporations do work,
that hold franchises, especially this
corporation and without my knowl-
edge that, or when operations were
to begin The plans under which the
company is making the Improvement
is claimed to be those prepared by
this department. If this is true, they
call for a reduction of the street at
the east side of the C.,C.& L. bridge
on Main street eight inches and at
the cast side of East First street, five
inches, and the changing of their
alignment. The work undertaken
has not been finished nor can it be
until the weather moderates. and
when completed the street will pre-
sent more pleasing effect, than it
did before they undertook it, and
will be in accordance to my ideas
and desires at the time the street
railway company laid their tracks.

CITY ENGINEER
ON THE STAND
IN THE GILLESPIE TRIAL AT
RISING SUN
THE OPPOSING COUNSELS
Have Warm Words at the Opening
Of the Session of Yesterday
Morning.
THE OPPOSING COUNSELS

Rising Sun, Ind, December IT,
City Engineer c. H. Keeney was on
the witness stand all morning in
the Gillespie trial, detailing the dis
tance from the Gillespie home to the
Seward gate and from the gate to
the lattice work in the rear of Miss
Royle s residence. He was closely
cross examined by the defense.
Court adjourned at 1870 until Mon
day noon.
A warm war Of words between the
opposing counsel, into which the
court was drawn, marked the opening
Of the second days trial of James
Gillespie. Judge Cornet ruled against
the admission of the testimony of
Mrs. Louis Bloss, tending to show
the kindly disposition of Miss Lizzie
Gillespie and the unfriendly feeling
of her brother James.
The court was taken to task by
the prosecution because it was charg-
ed he sustained the objection of the
defense to the questions, not for
reasons that Captain Coles had offer
ed, but because of views of his own.
Mr.. McMullen denied that a judge
had any right to furnish the defense
with valid grounds for objection.
Mhea they had offered incompetent
Iand Irrelevant Ones Themselves. THIS
controversy took up more than an
hour and comparatively slow prog
ress was made until the afternoon
session, when Judge Cornet pushed
the examination of witnesses along
at a rapid rate.
Twelve witnesses were examined
today. Several were called to COM
plete the corpus deficit and others
to show the i'll feeling existing be-
tween James and his murdered Sis
ter. The State seems to have its case
in better order than before, and
questioned its witnesses with more
method than at the first trial.
A comparatively new point which
was testified to by two witnesses was
the fact that when Lizzie Gillespie
had the typhoid fever some four
years ago James never went near her.
One of the most important bits of
evidence for the State was given by
Rev. John Henry, formerly pastor of
the Presbyterian church here, who
preached Lizzie Gillespie's funeral.
He was brought all the way from
the northern part of the State to tell
of a conversation with Jim Gillespie,
in which he asked Jim on behalf of
his aged mother to call and see her.
Jim said to the minister:
eff my mother wants to see me
she knows where I live. I will 60
over there no more. I have lived in
hell long enough
Several of the lady friends of
Miss Gillespie testified as to what
took place at the stricken home on
the night Of the murder and subse-
quent thereto. Among them We're
Miss Maud Matson, sister of the
mayor of Rising Sun: Miss Edith
Buchanan. Mrs. Lizzie Lennon and
Mrs. Maria Fisher. Every one of
them said they had not seen Jim Gil
lespie at his mothers house at any
time for two Years prior to the mur-
der.

TRAGEDY
STEAMER BURNS AND NINE
LIVES ARE LOST ON THE
FIRE BROKE. OUT
While the Glen Island Was OF the
Coast of Long Island-Loss a
Quarter of Million
ESCAPE IN SMALL BOATS
Did Many of the Passengers - The
Flames Were Discovered at
Midnight.
ESCAPE IN SMALL BOATS

New York, December 17.-By the
burning of the Starin line steamer
Glen Island, in Long Island sound to-
day, nine lives were lost and properly
roughly estimated at a quarter of a
million dollars was destroyed. That
more, lives were not sacrificed un-
doubtedly was due to the personal
courage of the officers and the crew,
and the excellent discipline maintain
ed when horrible death for all
seemed almost a certainty.
When the steamer was abandoned
she was fiame-swept from stern to
stem, and yet the only persons who
lost their lives were those whose es-
cape had been entirely cut off by
the fire before the alarm reached
them.
OF the thirty-one persons, includ-
ing ten passengers, who sailed away
on the Glen Island, last night, twen-
ty-two, including eight passengers,
were brought back today.
The dead are:
Passengers Unknown Hebrew
woman, said to have lived at 206
Hamilton street, New Haven.
Unknown man, supposed to be
New Yorker.
Crew-W. E. Hendrickson, assist
ant engineer.
Luman Miller, fireman.
Frank Bush. fireman.
John Burke, fireman.
Otto Lalofran, fireman.
O. Berg. deckhand.
Peter Benson. deckhand.
Bound for New Haven.
The Glen Island left her dock here
at 9 80 o'clock last night on her reg
ular trip for New Haven. Just be-
fore midnight Captain McAllister
left the pilot house and went below
for his midnight lunch. All the pas
sengers were in their berths. At that
lime there was no indication Of
trouble of any kind, but hardly had
the captain reached the galley when
there came a rush of sitting smoke
from the held of the steamer and sv-
cry electric light on board the craft
was extinguished. Captain Meal
lister sent in the alarm for fire drill
and the men came tumbling out OF
their hunks. In the meantime the
steering gear had been blocked and
the pilots, finding themselves unable
to direct the course Of the steamer,
hurried to the assistance of the other
members of the crew in saving lives.
Frozen to the Davits.
CAPTAIN McAllister ordered pilot
McMullen to 90 to the hurricane deck
and loosen one of the boats while he
went TO the main deck and tried to
loosen the two large life boats.
Captain McAllister managed TO
loosen the port life boat. The other
life boat was frozen to the davlts-
but a smaller one was soon ready 10
be lowered away. j.,
The woman who lost her life had
been aroused by the stewardess ana
was on her way to one of the boats
when she suddenly turned and dash

valuables. She was not seen again
and must have perished.

Awful Wreck,

Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 25-The
death list as the result of the fear
full wreck on the Southern road
near New Market Saturday, has
grown tonight to sixty-two and 1t
will probably exceed seventy before
Tuesday, as many of the injured
are in a serious condition and more
deaths will occur.
Today there were six deaths at
the hospital, the last one occurring
at o'clock tonight, when M. L.
Grant, a prominent North CAROLYN
ian, residing at Shelby, that state,
passed away. Others who died to-
day at the hospital were the two
colored fremen, two little girls and
Hep Miller, colored, of Johnson
City.
A force of $50 men toiled all day
long at the scene of the wreck. Be-
fore o'clock Sunday morning the
track was clear for through trains,
but it required many hours to clear
away the debris. Engineers Parrot
and Kane were found beneath the
engines, but their bodies were not
crushed badly. Small fragments of
bodies were found in many in
stances today, but it is thought they
belong to bodies already found and
brought. to this city. One little
baby was found by the wreckers.
but that was ali.
The cause of the terrible loss of
life in the heavy east-bound train

and pushed on by the weight Of the
heavy Pullmans, were crushed like
egg shells.
Physicians at the hospital state
tonight that of the long list of in
jured which they have in their care
it is probable that not more than
four will die. The complete list of
injured as given out by the railroad
officials, showed "a total of 162, but
this includes all persons who were
only slightly hurt or scratched.
