PREPARING FOR
BIG FRUIT YEAR
Pennsylvania Railroad Max
ing Arrangements to
Handle Big Crop
FIXING PERISHABLE
ARDS
Double Tracking Of Delaware Division
Will Relieve Congestion Down the
state-Trains Will Be Able to Run
to This City.

The work OF filling in around the
tracks OF perishable freight in the yard
at Edge Moor has commenced. This
is the first work to be done towards
leveling the yards by Supervisor Lei
per. who was placed in charge of the
work this week.
1t is necessary to have the yard in
good condition by the the time the
fruit begins to come off the Peninsula.
Already the company is beginning to
make preparation for the handling of
large crop OF both fruit and veg
etables.
According to the best authority in the
State more peaches will be grown this
year than form any seasons. This is
due, they claim. TO a large number Of
trees that will bear fruit this year for
the first time. The weather conditions
are more favorable than for long time
and one of the largest crops in the his
tory of the State is anticipated.
The railroad will be better able to
handle this big crop this year than
ever before. The double tracking OF
the Delaware road, which has been go
! ing on for several years. VIII be COM
pleted before the season. Instead OF
the congestion occurring down the road
as heretofore the fruit will be rushed
through to this city. For this reason
the yards here are being gotten in con-
dition to prevent a tie-up Of the trains
at this point.

Company Sent to Guard
Gold Mines in North

in Washington Sur
prised at Move
-ction Taken by Minis
ter Allen at Seoul As a
Dangerous Move
Which May Cause
Trouble

Seoul. March 5.-Horace n. Allen,
United States Minister to Corea, has
thought it necessary at present TO send
a guard of marines to the American
mines at Un-San, belonging to Mr.. j.
Sloat Fassett, which were reported on
February q to have been seized by
Russian soldiers. Accordingly, sixty
men have been sent TO the spot, which
Is one hundred and twenty miles north
Of Ping-Yang.
The American missionaries at Cen
san have been ordered to come to this
city. Unsan is forty miles northeast
of Anju, where the Russian advance
guard is located.
State Department Surprised.
Washington. March 5-State Depart
ment officials are astonished by the re-
ports that Mr.. Allen has sent part OF
the small marine guard at his legation
in Seoul, Corea, to protect the gold
mine concessions near Un-San, which
are held by ]. Sloat Fassett, Leigh
Hunt and other Americans. Such an
order to American troops to proceed
through Corea, into the very theatre OF
war, is declared to be at entire vari'
ance with the designs of this govern
ment, 6niess extraordinary circum'
stances have arisen.
The forces Of marines at Chemulpo
where lie the Vicksburg and the Gin
cinnati is too small to be any checl
whatever to either the Russian or Jap
anese armies should they disregard hi
rights and pillage the mines.
Mr.. Hay yesterday received from Mr.
7 Allen a cablegram dated Seoul. the da,
before. which showed that there wal
then no intention Of sending marines
TO the mines. Therefore the reports
3 are discredited here.
q Mr.. Fassett recently asked the Stat
q Department to protect the mines. Tn
Department has given orders to thi
end. but Il has always been deemed in
j. expedient to inject American marine
into the region where the mines ar
located. near the Yalu, and not IA
distant from Wiju and Antung, be
cause their presence might easily b
a source OF friction. This governmen
! looks to the belligerents to respec
American property rights.
The diverting of a portion Of the ma
rine guard of the legation to the mine
n is considered a most unwise move
likely to result not only in danger Z
them. but in unpleasant internationa
consequences.
AState Department official said tina
he recollected no precedent for sendin
marines to protect American propert
in a country held by competent bel
II ligerents. as is reported to have bee
done in Corea. such an expedient wa
in his mind. a dangerous move.

Prominent members Of the Roman

pressed their surprise at the an.

well, and the founder Of the Catholic
university at Washington had re.
nounced the Catholic faith. In fact,
they were loath to believe she had
formed such determination.

asked If he could assign any reason
for the Marquise des Monsters &C.

that he knew her only as a good
Roman Catholic, and until the an.
nouncement was made had given no
thought otherwise. ut is all a mys.
terry to me-" he said.
One official of the Roman Catholic
church attributed as a possible cause,
taking the story to be correct, the
notoriety which the university gained
by the failure of Thomas E. Wagga-

the next day.
Soon after reaching her majority,
Miss Caldwell, through hor guardian,
Bishop Spalding, Of Peoria, announced
to the Catholic hierarchy her inten-
ton Of endowing the Catholic univer-
sity, and council was held to con-
slider her offer.
Such a project long had been con.
sidered, but sufficient funds had never
been provided. Miss Caldwell donat.'
ed the Lightweight acres on the edge
of Washington, erected three of the
largest buildings, including Caldwell
hail. which is the largest Of the pres
ent group, and provided for the main.
tenance Of the university for three
years Her sister, the Baroness Won
zeedwitz, gave Caldwell chapel to
the university.
For this service Pope Leo XIII.
bestowed upon Gwendolin Caldwell
diamond.studded medal, which he had
struck especially for her, and also
conferred the decoration of the Order
of the Rose, which distinction no
other woman ever has held.
The young heiress went to Italy in
1887, and there met Prince Murat,
who was thirty.three years the senior
OF Miss Caldwell, and deeply in debt.
He was the grandson of Murat, king
of Naples, and Of Caroline, sister Of
Napoleon |.
After their engagement was an
nounced preparations for a regal we'd
ding were made, a trousseau fit for a
queen secured, and the day for the
ceremony set.
The day before the marriage the
prince and his legal representative
and Miss Caldwell and her attorneys
met to arrange the antenuptial con-
tract. The prince insisted upon the
control Of the fortune. Miss Caldwell
refused this. Then he offered to take
half of 1t. This the American slrl
refused, saying that she had intended
settling $4,000 a year upon her hus-
band. The prince wanted more. Miss
Caldwell al once broke the engage
ment and returned to America.
Miss Caldwell, in 1892, announced
her engagement to the Marquis dc
Monstiers-Merinville. 1t was said TO
be love match, She was married
on October 10 Of that year, the cere-
mony being performed by Bishop
Spalding. After her marriage the
marquise went to Paris to live and
her entertainments were notable
there. She spent much of her time in
charitable iabors, Her health began
to fail two years ago. Since then she
has led the life of a recluse.
