BIG APPLE CROP.
One Expected in United States Ian
ada and Europe.

Roston. Aug 26.-Throughout the
1-nit.d States there will he a big apple
cron this year 1t will go far ahead OF
last year's crop, which itself was
large one. Some Of the early varieties
.ra already arriving in the Boston mar
ket. and the receipts. and the varie-
ties also, will increase steadily from
now on.
Large dealers say that the export OF
anrIes from Boston this year will not
hear comparison with the bouhtitul-
nous of the American crop. One reason
they mention is that Great Britaih Is
also in the enjoyment Of an abuhdah'
apple harvest.

PENNSYLVANIA MURDER CASE.
Clothing Of Headiess Victim Found
No Means of Identification.

Although the head of the man whose
body was found Saturday near Hickory
Ridge. Pa. was not found up to last even
ing coat. necktie. piece of stocking, gar
ter and two new gloves, all supposed TO
have been torn away from the dead man.
were discovered last night several hun
dred yards from where the body was
found. There were no letters in the coat.
and the name of the manufacturer of the
apparel was missing.
The victim, who 1t is generally believed
was collector for an installment firm,
was about five feet eight inches. His
small hands bore no sign Of manual labor.
There Is one bullet wound in each side OF
his breast, two were in the backbone I'M
der the left arm and another in the calf
of the right leg-and several knife wounds
on the body. The knuckles of the right
hand are lacerated and bruised, indicating
that the man had offered resistance to his
assailants.
He evidently was murdered just after
pay day last Friday. The authorities think
the man, with large sum, was walking
from one of the mining hamlets to either
Shamokin or Mount Carmel when he was
held up, murdered and robbed.
