A dealer who was aboard with over GOD
pounds of turkeys as well as chickens and

did not know whether to send the poultry
by express or run the risk of going or the
Frederlca. Finally the captain decided lie

All night and this morning the con-
tinuous din was kept up by the vessels

THE FASHION
DEBEQUE
HAS FRUIT

Andrew j. Harris of DeBeque came
in yesterday with pretty positive
proof that that section of the coun-
ty has not suffered very much from
the late cold weather. He brought
with him, all done up in nice pack
ages, branches from trees on many
of the orchards at DeBeque which
gave unmistakable evidence that the
peaches. pears, plums, apples and
other fruits are very little hurt.
The branches had been cut from
trees in the orchards of William
Briggs. Lee & Dudley, Captain C. V.
Noble. ]. P. Phipps, Sig Olsen, C. p.
Edgerly and Mr.. Letsen. Especially
nice were the specimen branches talk
en- from the trees in the 17-acre
tract of Captain Noble. They show
signs of almost having a full crop
of all kinds of fruit.
The above named orchards are all
on the north side of the river or in
the old settled portion surrounding
DeBeque.
Andrew Harris says that William
Briggs will have unquestionably
from twelve to twenty thousand box
es of apples. Mr.. Harris is quite
elated over the manner in which the
fruit has come through in that por-
ton of Mesa county.

CAN PHONE TO THIRTY-FIVE
STATIONS AT SAME TIME

Dependent for many years on an
antiquated system by which it was
necessary to call up each station
house separately, thus losing much
valuable time, the Philadelphia de-
partment of public safety, which has
charge of the city's police, recently
installed a system of simultaneous
telephony by which a message may
be sent from a single transmitter to
thirty-five points at once.
The wires are so connected that.
by throwing a single switch. all the
stations are brought into the circuit
and the words spoken by the opera
tor at the central station are heard
at each of the outlaying stations
simultaneously E. The operators are
provided with a harness holding both
transmitter and receiver TO their
head so that their hands may be left
free to operate typewriters to take
down messages.
When the switch at the central
station is not thrown into the circuit
the telephones may be used to con-
verse with a single station as usual
without necessitating the use of an
other telephone. Similarity 1t also
is possible to have a message come
from any one station and go to all
the others simultaneously without
waiting to be repeated at the central
office.
The system has been perfected by
a Philadelphian, after over ten years
experimenting. 1t is said that a
Vienna newspaper has a somewhat
similar apparatus by means of which
it sends out news by telephone to up
wards of 500 subscribers

Richard Johnson, hanged at
Shrewsbury on Oct. 6, 1896, obtained
promise from an under sheriff to
place him in the coffin without
changing his clothes. After hanging
half an hour he still showed signs
of life, and on examination it was
found he had wrapped cords about
his body connected with hooks at the
neck, which prevented the rope from
doing its work. The apparatus was
removed and the man hanged effec-
lively.
1t may be offered in explanation
of the case mentioned that there was
no drop used at execution in those
days, the culprit usually suffering
asphyxia without the cerebral col
umn being broken.
