DAMAGE TO FRUIT TREES
Report of Prof. II. B. Waite Has Just
 Been Made. Public.
(Special fn Dernocrat.l ] !

Washington, April 4.--In the hope of being of some service to the fruit growers of New England, whose orch. ards have been severely damaged by the extreme cold of the pasA winter. the department of agriculture sent Prof M. B. Waite an expert on the diseases of orchard fruits. into the af. hicted districts. His report has just been made public.
 He visited the Connecticut valley and found that the most Injury has been done to peach. Japanese plum and pear trees as far south as Glastonbury. He says that the peach trees most in Jured by freezing show the bark en- tirely. blackened and dead. Such trees are dead beyond all question, but only about 10 per cent of the trees inspected were found in this condition. The de- struction was confined to the low, fiat places, or to pockets at very moderate elevations. Other trees have enough vitality to enable them to pull through When the bark is adhering or only par tially separated from the trunk, the chances for recovery are good. Of course on all such trees the fruit buds are killed. About 90 per cent of the orchards visited are in this class.
 On the higher levels and ridges of gLue 0OHAGCllCuI sVdIley LHeI0 are OIL chards in which some fruit buds have survived, and in which the trees are only moderately frozen. He found the fruit buds more hardy than the young tender sap-wood. He advises the own CTS of orchards to be cautious about pulling out damaged trees. He should give the trees an opportunity of show ing what they can do before condemn ing them. The aim should be to grow the tree out of the injury. Stable manure Is recommended as answering all the requirements in most cases.
 Japanese plum trees have behaved essentially the same as the peacn trees and should be treated in the same manner. He found the same in, jury to grapevines. Two-year- -oIa vines which reached above the snow line were in most cases killed, but he made no extensive study of injuries to this fruit.
 The pear orchards he found very seriously damaged for the reason that in many cases these orchards are placed on lower. richer grounds, where they were subjected to the intense cold. They seemed to be injured to about the same extent. but have not the ability of the peach trees to out grow the injury. He says he cannot hold out the same chances of recovery in the case of pear trees as is possible with peach. trees. but no severe prun ing should be attempted this season.

JURY DISMISSED TO-DAY
 NOT NEEDED IN CASE

The case before the jury in the dis trict court to-day was that of Isaac Winestine against the ZIglatzki- Marks Go for possession of the premises the latter occupy on South Main street After hearing the case a few hours if was decided the jury could be dis pensed with and they were accordingly dismissed for the term. The defend ant claims to have lease of the prem ises for five years with an option for three years more at the close of the five years. The lease was issued by Mrs Jane Tinkham. who owned the property at that time. Attorney O'Neill. counsel for Mr Winestine who wants the premises for his own busi- ness, claims the lease is void as it was signed only by Mrs Tinkham, and that to have it operative 1t should have also the signature of Mir Tinkham, the par ties having been married prior to 1877. There are number of witnesses to be examined. The point involved is sole ly one of law.

A BIG COLLECTION.
Broo klyn Church Contributes $o0,OO0,
 Breaking All Previous Records.

New York, April 4.-Members of Grace church Protestant EpiscopaD in Brooklyn. have broken the collection record i'll the "city of churches" by contributing $90.O0O as an Easter of fering toward an endowment fund.
 For some time the church has had S38.000 toward such fund. Six weeks ago Dr Wrigley, the rector, made statement to the congregation asking that $6O,O00 be given as an Easter offering so that the endowment fund might reach $100.000. Great was the surprise when the offering had been counted and showed a total in cash and checks of the sum stated Some of the checks were for large amounts, but the officers of the church say they do not care to tell any indi- vidual amounts or mention the names Of any of the givers.
 "Our idea Is to have fund" said Dr Wrlgley, 'sthat will insure Grace church remaining where it IS even af- ter all the old families have left the heights. There are T large number Of hotels here already, and the charac- ter of the neighborhood is changing from one of private homes to one of hotels and boarding houses. There will always be a great work here to be done"

RENT PAYERS ANGRY.
They Are Holding Indignation neet-
 inSs in New York.

New York, April 4.--Scores of in- dignant meetings have been held on the lower east side in protest against a general increase of tenement rentals. Lawyers and business men addressed the meetings and a protest was drawn up which will be presented to tAe mayor
 Advances have been made by lease holders in the crowded section south of Eleventh street. from the Bowery to East river. The raises range from $2 to S10 month. Most of the tenement dwellers are too poor to pay the in crease, and denounce 1t as extortion. Some already have been thrown into the street.
 Throughout Easter day the streets were thronged with people discussing their grievances. All were agreed on one point, to resist to the utmost and refuse to pay the increase. An aid society has been formed to take care of those who may be dispossessed and are unable to take care of themselves.
 It is declared the lease holders and not the landlord have caused the ad- vances. The former take the buildings by the year and collect the rents from those to whom they sublet. Numerous threats Of violence already have been heard.

 New York, April 1.-The petition by Union Pacific interests to enioin the Northern Securities plan of distribu- ton unsettled the stock market to day and caused feverish fluctuations in prices These seemed to be due to puzzled efforts on the part of profes- sional traders to find the market, without any clear Idea of the actual effect of the news on values. The only fact left clear was that the sup positions on which they have traded for two weeks were unfonnded. Their conflicting efforts to retrieve probable mistakes caused a very confused price movement, but the undertone was weak on account of the apparent hos tility btween great groups of capital ists. Union Pacific opened 15s higher than Saturdays close and then reced- ed as much below that level. St Paul broke 2A on the opening sale and re- covered half the loss while Union Pa cific was running off. Losses ran to a point in a X, number Of railroad stocks and specialties and prices ran downwards and upwards in hest tating manner. In the course of an hour the market became quieter.
 On the curb Northern Securities was the only merger stock in which any atcual trading was done in the first half hour to-day. It opened at 9S, n decline of two points from Saturdays high price sold off to 97A, then back to 9s. About 1.500 shares changed hands in the first half hour.
