Peace May Be Expected.

Burlington, Vt, July 2S.-For the first
time in its history Fort Ethan Allen is
garrisoncd by Negro troops. the ii
troops of the 10th Cavalry arriving by
special trains about midnight Tuesday,
and taking up their quarters in the
barracks, vacated by the remnant of
the 18th Cavalry. The trains which
brought the colored troopers were late
in starting from New York and lost
time all the way here.
Many townspeople assembled at the
fort late in the afternoon to witness
the arrival of the warriors, but as the
time drew near for the diScontinuance
of the trolley service the crowd dis
persed and the cavalrymen were greet
ed by only corporaPs guard of coun-
trymen, whose homes are contiguous to
the reservation.

rivals consisting of the other II troops

post has been garrisoned by only six
troops of cavalry. Tuesday morning

train of nine cars for Fort Oglethorpe,

The Negro troops will be busily oc-

time for both the Negroes and the
white people hereabouts. The first pay

DECLARE FRUIT CROP SHORT.
Buyers Say Mountains Produce About
Y Half Yield.

Hagertown. Nd, July 2S.-Buyers
from Baltimore. Philadelphia, Wash
ington, New York and Pittsburg who
have been all through the fruit belts, of
Washington county report that the
peach crop will not be over half
normal crop. In some localities, no
tally in the Boonsboro, Keedysvil!e
and Brownsville belts, the croD lis al
most a total failure. Around Hancock
and in the mountain belt above Smith
burg the crop is. fairly good. 1t is said
there will be as many peaches in the
South. Mountain districts as there were
last year. The fruit, while not over
plentiful promises to- be of unusually
fine quality. SO
In E. A. Pry's orchards around
Keedysville. the most extensive in the
country, the yield will not be large. In
Daniel w. Richards orchards, on the
old jain Brown fruit farm, at Sam
pies Manor, there are hundreds OF
trees that do not contain a single
peach. The loss to the growers wili,be
heavy. The shortage in the crop was
caused by the buds freezing in the
spring and by the June drop" In
June many peaches fell from thu. trees.
The plum crop in most sections of
the country will be short, but the
large Nicodemus orchards, near Edge
mont, will, it is predicted, produce a
large yield.
The prospects for good apple crop
are fair. This is the year for apples.
which usually produce heavily every
other year in this county. The crop.
however, will not be as large as in
some years recently. Many growers
are now spraying not only their apple
trees, but all kinds Of fruit trees, ana
fruit Of better quality is being grown.
The huckleberry crop Is now at its
height, and hundreds of bushels, gath
cred on South Mountain. are being
shipped to the city markets.

Loeb Has Big Force
Watching for Smugg|ers'
Their Services Are Evidently
Very Much Needed.
Two SmuggIers at Least Are Cap
tured Each Day...new Force.

New York, July 28.-Every pier of
New York City at which is tied yes
sci containing dutiable goods is being
watched night and day by new feder
al police force to apprehend snug
eierS. This force was organized six
days ago as the outcome of Collector
Loeb's determination to stop leaks in
the collection of customs revenue.
Within these six days an average of
two smugglers a night have been de-
tected and the goods they sought to
sneak through free of duty confiscated
There are 275 men in the new force.
Col. W. Lutz, former chief of the in
sular police force of Porto Rico, has
been named as commandant. His as
sistant is A. NJ. Beardsley.
There are three lieutenants, IL
roundsmen and 260 patrolmen or watch
men, as they are officially designated.
The men are divided into three shifts
of eight hours each. The greater num-
Der of men are on duty from s A. NJ.
to p NJ, a lesser number from 4 r.
NJ. to midnight, and a still smaller
number from midnight until A. M.
There is at least one man to every pier
in the city where a vessel is tied con-
tanning dutiable goods.
The new department was formally
organized July q. Col. Lutz got his
patrolmen busy at once. In eight in
stances they caught members of the
crews of different steamers trying to
take ashore packages containing goods
on which no duty had been paid. A
valuable lace spread, number OF
finely wrought fancy boxes, a valuable
level case and boxes of cigars and
bottles of bay rum were among the
finds. In every case they were being
brought ashore when it was supposed
the customs officials had gone for the
day.
Never before in the history of the Gus
toms service has a watch been kept at
night The steamship companies have al
WAYS had watchmen at piers. At least
they were supposed to watch, but accord
ing to general report they were either
asleep or oblivious to what any of the
crew might bring ashore.
There will be strict discipline main
tanned of the new force in order to DEM
onstrate that its organization and opera
ton may prove its usefulness. The
rourdsmen will be held accountable for
the detection of delinquent patrolmen at
n;ers where one man is assigned on the
midnight shifts. The lieutenants VIII
