a horrible sisht met their eyes. h. iured men were lying on every side They rescued Mr 9yulGck from un- derneath a pile of debris only tu find that life was extinct. Abnosl cunl- 'pletely overcome from grief the two devoted nephews of the unfortunate planter, assisted by Doctor l'uckrer aided the injured men tho best way they could. They hurredy summon ed phy sicians from this city and Mr Holderness was requested to go to the Tsulock place to bring the body oi MT. TrulOck to this city. It is thought that Ed Robinson and his brother can not recover from their injuries. as both of them were blown through a thick brick wall. Several of the ill- jured negroes are reported to be in a serious condition.
 The news of the tragedy spread like wildfire i'll this city. Jim Tru- lock, as he was familiarity known to his many friends. was one of the oldest, best known and most highly respected citizens of this county He was about 5 years old and enjoyed the respect and confidence of 8 large Cir cle of friends and admirers. He leaves family here. He is survived by his wife, three daughters, Mrs Laura Curtis of Bridgeport, Conn; Ruth and Clara Trulock, and one son Herbert Trulock Mrs. Curtis has been notified of her fathers tragic death and will come here to attend his funeral
 All kinds of wild rumors were in circulation as to the number of men killed and injured in the explosion owing to the inability of the family or any others to get facts from the scene of the accident. Shortly before the noon hour today, Alexander Young, one of the negroes, injured in the explosion, was brought to Pine Bluff for treatment. He was brought to the city in a wagon and taken to the office of Doctor c. K. Carruthers. This negro was one of the most for tunate men in the ginhouse at the time of the mishap. He was further away from the boiler than the others, but was struck on the head with a brick and bad scalp wound inflicted. He related the story of the explosion as best he could and it corresponds in detail to the story of the accident published above. Young was so bad ly frightened. believing himself to be badly injured, that he could hardly tell his story. He completely forgot the names of the negroes who wers injured at the same time, uOtwith standing he has worked with them for years on the Truiock place.

 The first news of the tragedy reach ed this city at about 10 o'clock in d telephone message, which was sent 1 to II. 1 Holderness, of the Holderness- Fitzhush Undertaking Company, and ] relatives of the dead and injured men. by Harry Trulock from the oil jnill on East Third avenue, below the 1 Cotton Belt shops. He had ridden there cn a horse to report the trag- I edy and summon the undertaken and physicians from the Trulcok place, and hurriedly returned to the scene
 of the accident. He was greatly ex-
 cited and in his haste gave few par 1 ticnlars of the nlishap.
 l It was stated that the boiler had been out of commission for several days and that Mr. Trulock. the owner
 of the Trulock plantation, and his as- I sstants were there at work on it, 1 trying to remedy the trouble, when the
 boiler exploded. MT. Trulock was | struck by flying pieces of metal and
 other articles and buried beneath a lot of falling bricks and debris He was l killed instantly, Ed Robinson, the en- gineer, and his brother, both of whom are white men, were blown through 1 a brick wall and were found uncon- scious ill the cotton field nearby. AL exander Young, a negro farm hand, was struck on the head by flying brick, but was not seriously injured. Two other negroes, whose names could not be learned. were found uncon- scious in the boiler room and three others were found lying underneath the bricks and boards in another part of the gin house, badly injured about the body and heads
 The explosion was heard mile away. A rather singular coincidence
 was the presence of w. N. Trulock, president of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, and Harry Trulock, of the Lev- erenz-Trulock Shoe Company of this city, nephews of the dead planter, who had gone there early this morn 1 ing il company with Reverend w.

At the regular meeting of the city council last night at the City Hal. the subject of closing the saloons of this city from 12 o'clock, midnight, until 5 o'clock each morning, was discussed at length, and there is a probability of the baW1y houses being included in the ordinance. The ordinance has been referred to ordinance committee for amendment, with instructions to include the baWdy houses in the or dinance, which will be submitted for Council, it having been placed on it's second reading last night
 The Council last night also adopted a resolution endorsing the action of the banks of this city in issuing cash iers' certificates and an ordinance will be prepared making it violation of the law for any persons to discount the certificates Or deal i'll them for personal or financial gain.
 Mayor Toncy and all the aldermen were present at last nights session Although no good reason was shown for such action, the Council refunded $50 to Thomas Green Sr.. which, it was alleged, had been paid by him for auctiOneer's license in error" He secured the license several days ago for the purpose of conducting an auc- tion sale of express packages. Just license fee was not made clear last night Mayor Toney stated this morn ing that there was no error in it's payment or collection.
 The special committee appointed at the last meeting to ascertain if the work on the new waterWOrks plant had been stopped on account of the tight money conditions, reported that the work had not been stopped, but was progressing nicely.
 Four months time was given pro- perty owners and residents in Sewer District No. 9 to make connections, the sewer having been completed in that district.
 City Engineer Parkes was notified to instruct the Cotton Belt railroad and the Citizens Light and Transit Company to repair the crossing at Third avenue and Main street, it being in bad condition at that place.
 City Attorney Coleman was also ill- structed to examine the ordinance re- latins to the franchise of the Cotton Belt railroad and ascertain whether Or not it is the duty Of the company to keep Third avenue iu proper condl- tion, as to drainage, etc
 The ordinance requiring the light companies to remove all poles to the curbing on West Sixth avenue, which has been peadins some weeks, was laid on the table last night and will take it's usual course.

STORING CELERY.
Suggestions by Prof. w. r. BeattIe Of
v. s. Department Of Agriculture.

Almost without exception the larger
northern growers have found 1t un.
profitable to store celery for late
keeping, and those who still adhere
to the practice do so in order that
they may control and supply spe-
cial trade. Even under special cir
cumstances there is only a moderate
profit in storing for late marketing.
The best form Of storage house is
broad and long structure with low
side walls and roof coming almost
to the ground at the caves. The walls
should be constructed Of concrete or
brick and the roof made very tight
to keep out frost. The roof portion
should also be ceiled to form double
construction with air space between.
Large doors should be provided at
both ends, and II so arranged that a
team Of horses can be driven through,
the work Of unloading the celery will
be greatly facilitated.
The earth floor of the storage house
should have a covering consisting of
four or five inches of loose soil, in
which to pack the roots Of the celery.
1t is desirable to have the storehouse
divided lengthwise into beds six or
eight feet wide by six inch boards on
edge, raised three or four inches from
the soil and fastened to stakes. These
lines of raioed boards assist In holding
the celerr In ar upright position and
increase the circulation OF air
through II.

The Cabbage stubs.

AS soon as the heads have been 70

piled up where they can be burned

as club root, result from leaving the
roots or stubs in the patch too long. II

surface. This can be removed In the

BARRELING APPLES.
System Is the Secret of Successful
Marketing Of Crops.

A good barrel Is essential II you
wish to store your fruit. have 1t keep
well and sell well. A tight barrel Is
the best, and the better 1t is made the
better results you will have. There
will be smaller loss from shrinkage Of
fruit, from rats and mice and other
causes
In my orchard, writes a correspond
ent of Orange Judd Farmer, have
eight pickers and six sorters and bar
refers in each gang. A strong sort
ing table, constructed of light, strong
material is provided. This table is
set in the center of 16 trees. Some
times, IL fruit is scarce and trees are
small, in the center of "a or SO trees.
Four or six rows are carried forward
at once and the table Is moved along
the center rows and set in the middle
of the square at each move.
One man usually nails the hoops,
the headliners, and takes out the
heads of the barrels, preparing them
for filing. 1t Is quite important to
have headliners, as 1t prevents loss
in shipping and facilitates In the ex-
animation and inspection of fruit In
storage. This man usually heads up
the barrels when filled.
A second man does the facing, and
q third, who should be good apple
man and foreman Of the gang, emp
ties the baskets and assists in the
sorting. He inspects the fruit as
sorted and directs the work. This
leaves three men who do nothing but
stand at the table and sort. II the

Discussion Of subject BY W. Paddock
Of Delaware Experiment Station.

t
That clean cultivation OF orchards
has been the rule In Colorado has al.
ready been referred to in publications
from the Colorado agricultural col
lege. But the system of culture has
not general included the use Of the
turning plow.
II was thought that II the surface
was kept mellow and free from weeds,
all requirements had been met. In fact
there seems to have been something
of prejudice against the use of the
plow. as II was feared that the injury
to the tree roots would counteract any
beneficial effect.
vators tends to form q hard pan and
many orchards show the effects. Roots
need air and lots of It. In order to
do their work effectively. The root
hairs are less abundant and many are
killed II the tree Is compelled to live
continuously In q hard, compact soil.
The effect on the tree Is much the
same as though too much water had
been allowed to accumulate about the
roots. Some means should be taken
to loosen such soils, and this can be
done best with plow, particularly II
supplemented by some growing crop
or stable manure which Is turned un-
der.
Peach growers in one Of the best
sections of Colorado, up to about three
years ago, would scarcely allow q
plow In the orchard; but since that
time its use has come to be nearly
universal. And we predict that 1t
will not be long until system of
green manuring will also come into
general use.
The time of year to use the plow Is
now agitating the minds Of many. The
spring has been adopted In the east
where for Is years a great deal OF
study has been devoted to the subject
Of orchard culture. The orchard land
is broken up as early as the weather
will permit, and clean culture Is given
till the end of the growing season,
when a cover crop is sown. Convenient
rains usually start this crop into
growth, when 1t helps mature tree
growth by using surplus moisture and
protects the soil In various ways until
the following spring, when 1t Is turned
under to supply vegetable matter and
fertility to the soil.
We are now pretty well agreed that
the turning plow should be used but
extended inquiries among orchardists
show that In general they have had
better results by turning the land over
in the fall. The main reason advanced
for this preference is that II the land
Is plowed in the spring, and particu-
larly II a green crop has been turned
under, 1t is nearly impossible to get
water over the ground without the
most of it getting much to wet. The
result is yellow foliage and setback
to the trees, from which 1t takes them
some time to recover. This experience
will probably be found to be true OF
most soils.
We conclude then, that the use OF
the turning plow is very desirable. II
not essential, where clean cultivation
is given, and in the present state OF
our knowledge the fall Of the year
after the leaves are OF, 10 the best
time for its use.
