Chas. Burke who resides at No. GIG
Scott street, has two lemon trees of
which he is very proud. Both are from
seed planted by members of the family,
one being two years old, the other
three. The trees look quite healthy and
thrifty and with proper care will in a
few years be bearing fruit. They do
not appear to be fast growing tree
and mature slower than an apple tree.
The leaves are a dark green, oval in
shape, and each limb is covered with
thorns. The trees excite the curiosity
Of many visitors, who often times come
from distant parts of the city to see

By a decree of the supreme court a
judgment has been entered against
thirteen farmers residing in the vicinity
of Edgar in suit brought by the North
field National bank, OF Mortified, MINI.
A few years ago the farmers signed a
joint note as the balance due on the
purchase price of Percheron horse
bought for breeding purposes. They
paid part of the note and then set up
the claim that the horse they bought
was not the one for which a pedigree
was given them and refused to make
any more payments. The horse, Reveil-
lon, was supposed to have been import
ed from France.
All of the outside work on the post
office is completed. The walls have
been washed off with sponges and the
staging has been torn down. The build
ing now presents much different APP
pearance than it did few months ago.
The construction company making the
alterations will not have the building
completed before some time in October
1t will be necessary to tear off the stucco
on the walls on the first floor and re-
place it with the same material. This
work and that of putting in two stair
ways, one to the second floor, the other
to the basement, will be the last to be
undertaken.
The road roller is at present being
used on the west side in rolling down
the rock torn up on Third Ave. by the
street railway company. The street
has been in very bad condition ever
since it was torn up early in the season,
but could not be repaired because the
road roller has been kept busy all of the
time heretofore. At last, on account of
protests from west side residents, it was
ordered that the road roller be taken
off the Grand Ave. job and removed to
the west side. This raised howl from
the Grand Ave- people who claim they
have suffered poor street the longer.
Both jobs will be completed in few
weeks-and then the present soreness"
will be forgotten.
On Saturday morning last, Peter
Martina, who resideson Cleveland Ave.
and who is employed in the local plant
of the United States Leather Co., suf-
fered misfortune which came near
costing him his life. In some way he
missed his footing and fell headlong in
to q tank partly filed with extract
from hemlock bark, heated almost to
the boiling point. His limbs and face
were severely burned, but he is re-
ceiving good care and will be out again
in very short time. Fortunately for
MIR. MARITIME, other workmen witnessed
the accident and at once pulled him
out of the hot liquid, or he might not
be living today. They at once removed
his clothes for him, the same being
soaked in the sticky liquid, aud then
they bathed him in oil and had him re-
moved to st. Mary's hospital
