LARGEST CROP YET
Pennsylvania Man Surprised at Crop
Unable to Harvest All the
Gigantic Crop.

Wheeling, W. Va, October L.
During the past summer the Iarg-
est apple crop for the past ten years
in West Virginia, was raised by the
fruit growers" stated F.. G. Cowen,
OF Philadelphia, a well known fruit
buyer, who for ten years has pur-
chased much of the crop in this state
for his firm. who are one CT the
largest fruit brokers in the east.
In discussing the apple crop he said:
Farmers and fruit raisers in the
southern portion of West Virginia,
where | have been for the past week
informed me that the apple crop this
year is the largest for the PAST fifteen
years. Many are unable to- sell all
their crop and are making cider with
the balance. Hundreds of barrels OF
cider is now being made in this sec
ton of the state which the farmers are
shipping TO the larger cities. Thous-
ands of bushels of apples lie rotting
in the large orchards. Many of the
large orchards have been badly dam
aged by the larger trees, which have
been ruined by the heavy crop which
burdened by the weight OF the apples
the branches were broken Many of
these orchards are miles from the rail-
roads and for this reason the waste is
much greater and 1t seems shame to
see acres after acres of large red and
yellow apples rottening away be-
cause they cannot be shipped 10 the
markets. There VIII be thousands
of barrels OF cider in this section
which will never find a market"
In speaking of other sections OF
the state Mr.. Cowen, said that in
the eastern portion OF the state the
peach crop this year was enormous
and much of this fruit was gong to
waste but not SO much as the fruit
in the southern portion OF the state,
because the fruit growers were bet
ter equipped to make shipments by
rail as the railroads all ran near
their farms.

History of the WONDERFULLY One
Thousand Vessels.

New York. Oct. 1.-The naval pa
rade held here today in connection
with the Hudson-FuftoD celebration

vessels, all in line except United
States naval ships being under the
command of Captain Jacob W. Miller,
chairman of the Hudson-Fulton Com
mission for tine naval parade. There
were eighty warships in line, fifty
three being detailed from the Atlantic
squadron of the United States navy.
Foreign nations represented were Ger
many, England, Italy, France, Mexico,
Argentine, Chill and Peru. River
towns along the Hudson devoted the
day to exercises along the riverside,
fetes and champetres wherever the
nature of the water front made such q
program possible, At Newburg the
Half Moon and Clermont were turned
over to an up-river squadron, which
will take the replicas on to Albany
for next weeks celebration.

MAN AQUITTED
Frank Keller, of Mccoys Ferry, Faces
Jury in Justice Lenen's Court
on Serious Charge.

From The World of Saturday:
Justice Lemen had a case before
him yesterday THAT consumed much
time, the hearing continuing to late
in the afternoon. This was the state
against Frank Keller, of near McCoyis
Ferry, charged with cruelty in causing
the death of horse belonging to l..
C. Wintermoyer, of the same neigh
borhood by overlooking and over
driving.
The case was tried before jury OF
six men, the state being represented
by Attorney Robert H. Boyd, in the
absence from town of Prosecuting At
torney Noll, and the defence by After
G. L. Williams.
The offence occurred on the 27th OF
last July. There were fourteen wit
nesses and it was testified that Keller
was driving a two-horse wagon loaded
with 46 bushels of wheat One of the
witnesses, before whose house the
horse in question fell dead in the
public road, testified that at that time
there were three men on the wagon
besides the load of wheat; that KelI-
er had the team going az a gallop and
that he and one of the other men were
drunk at the time The horse died,
it would naturally be thought, of sheer
exhaustion. The jury rendered a ver-
dict of acquittal, doubtless, on good
and sufficient grounds.

FIVE ROUTES WERE STARTED
FROM THIS POST OFFICE

This State Until Twenty Million

Over Forty Thousand Carriers Trav.
cling a Million Miles Day.

Washington, Oct To-day is the
thirteenth anniversary of the installa.
ton Of rural delivery in the United
States and the records show that no
branch of the postal service has had
so recent a beginning with equally re-
markable results.
The honor of the first attempt to
test the tracticability OF such a radi-
cal broadening of the operations of in
dividual delivery rests with five routes
from three postoffices in West Vir-
ginia.
The innovation was so great that it
took some time for the people to be
benefited to realize the advantage in
store for them. BY the end of the
third fiscal year alter this service be-
gan but 391 routes were established.
at an annual expenditure of s150,012.
The convenience, as well as ethical,
economical commercial and educa-
tional benefits incident TO this public
utility were now so forcefu'ly demon
stnated that expansion went on rapid
ly, the cost aggreo ating up to the
present time no less than $4,000, 900.
The 40,804 carriers in covering their
40.919 routes traverse more than
100000 miles every secular day of
the year. excepting New Year, Wash
ington's Birthday, Memorial or Deco
ration, Indepenence, Labor, and
Thanksgiving days, or the Monday
following should those days fall on

DID NOT KILL ORRISON
Joe Wood Acquitted Of Murder Of P0-
liceman at Brunswick Last May
Jury Out ore Hour.

Late Wednesday night the jury IN

I'd with killing Policeman William E.
Orrison OF Brunswick, returned d YER
dict at Frederick CT not guilty. Orri-
gon was native of Martinsburg and
lived here for number Of years.
The trial took up the entire day,

ter. On the witness stand he testi-
fed to the effect that after being
struck by the officer he knocked the
latter down. He denied the testi-
mony of other witnesses that he
kicked him on the head.
A surprise was sprung when one
or two witnesses Implicated Mrs.
Lena Twigg and Mrs Sarah Trail,
daughters of Frank Cahll, and sis
tiers Of the boy who was arrested, In
the tragedy. The women were pac-
ed on the stand, and while they ad-

knocked down and roughly handled

shown to have struck tee officer, the
testimony was clouded as to how he
received the bow on he SIDE o. his

COLLECTING TAXES
State Auditor Darst VIII Have Men
Appointed to Co After Personal
Taxes in County.

State Auditor Darst Is making a
special effort to collect as much as
possible of the delinquent taxes on
personal property in the state and
is writing to the county courts in the
counties to appoint collectors to go
after the delinquents. This is a new
move made by the auditor, but
there is a provision in the state law
for the appointment o. these col
lectors and this win be put in opera
ton by the auditor to get in more
personal property taxes, large
amounts being due every year in
many counties which are not paid.
The auditor says tina, the delin-
Quent list is growing much larger
each year and that it is necessary to
do something. The real estate
that is returned delinquent is sold
after ii is not redeemed at the au-
ditors office and this way the state
gets in everything due on real prop
erty, On the other hand the per-
sonal property tax that has been re-
turned delinquent never has been
paid in the state has been losing
large amounts every year. The spe-
cal collectors appointed by the
county courts will receive 20 per
cent. of the amount they collect for
their services.

TWO RAIDS MADE
Grand Jury is investigating Charges
Against the Savage Dis
tIIery Company

Charges against the Savage Distill-
cry Company, of Kernstown, Va, of
which Joseph H. Savage is president
and general manager, of violating
State liquo., laws are being investigat-
ed by a grand jury of the Circuit
Court, which was convened yesterday
in Winchester Ivy Judge T. w. Harri-
on.
The charges were worked UP and
laid before Commonwealth Attorney
Herbert S. Larrick by agents of the
Anti-Saloon League. About seventy
five witnesses were summoned before
the grand jury, and when the jury ad-
journed last evening upward of forty
had testified. Another session was
held today.
The Kernstown distillery is one of
the largest in Virginia. and was estab-
iished rsany years ago by L. e. Saw
age, father of Joseph H. Savage.
Some of the leading farmers of Fred
erick County and business men of
Winchester have been summoned 10
testify before the grand jury.
While the grand jury was investi-
eating the Savage charges, Chief of
Police Seabright and Ofticers Massie
and Taylor made a raid on a soft
drink establishment conducted by Gle
mentine Hahlman in q large building
owned by Savage, and seized ten bar
rels of bottled goods which the police
declare is beer About the same time
the police made a similar attack on
Harry Chrismore's soft-drink estab-
lishment, in the heart Of the business
section, and got a barrel of bottled
goods which they also declare to be
beer.
An attempt was made to start a
fight in the Savage building when the
police swooped down Unexpectedly,
but the officers got the better OF the
situation and hau'ed the confiscated
goods to police headquarters.
Savage is said to be interested in
one or more saloons in this city, which
ship daily large quantities of whiskey
to individuals in Winchester
