THE RAILROAD WORM.

What to do with the railroad
worm" or maggot, the worst pest
now menacing apples in this state,
is a question confronting the Penn
sylvania agriculturallst. Getting it's
name from the fact that it bores
tunnels around through the pulp of
the apple devouring the tissues as
far as it goes, it does not confine it.
self to the core, as does the Cooling
moth, and is all the more destructive
on that account. 1t has been found
in fallen apples abundantly in the
northern counties of the state this
Fall and also extends south through
the mountainous regions as far as
Somerset county.
Prof. II. A. Surface, state zoolog-
list, states that this is a new pest in
this section, and a very serious one
at that. 1t especially attacks sweet
apples, and will remain in them fol
days before entering the soil to un'
dergo transformation into little
brown pupae and later little gray
flies, not unlike the house fly in ap
pearance, although somewhat small
er. The warmer the weather the
sooner they leave the fruit Thii
fly lays its eggs on other fruit anC
as these hatch the fruits are affect
ed.
We are advised by Professor Sur
face that the best way to eliminate
the worm is to destroy the fallel
fruit every few days. This can b.
done either by pasturing the groun'
under the trees with hogs or sheep
or by gathering the fallen apples an
destroying them.

THE CITIZENS RETURNS.

The Citizen was a vertible beehive
last night, The continual click of
the key of~the Western Union special
wire, operated by Jacob Ref, gave
us unequalled service. AS the mes
sages were received they were
flashed upon a screen from a stere-
opticon machine by Rev. George S.
Wendall, who kindly volunteered his
lamp and services. The kilograms
were then given to our linotype
operator, who set them up for the
paper, They are found upon the
first page Of The Citizen. The Ex-
change and Literary club also re-
ceived The Citizens special service,
Aside from the telegraph wire our
office was equipped with three
phones, two on the Bell system and
one on the Consolidated. This made
the service complete. The Office

Every knock is a boost.

The Citizen may reach its readers
a few hours late, but we think it
is justifable in that we give the cleo
ton returns of the National, State
and County tickets in to-day's issue.
Our force worked all night Tuesday
so that The Citizen subscribers might
get the news early. BY so doing we
were able to get the papers in the
early mails of the Delaware and
Hudson and Erie trains, thus CIV
ing our readers the best possible
service.

for him and told him to keep them
out. Didn't want crops eaten up by
his cows Ben said that 1t didn't

every building ] owned. l had con-
versation with Ben after fire on June

another fire and l would be in it.
Cross-examined-I did not see
White around barn when it was
burning. Saturday evening Ben
went past my house. Mackley stat
ed that he had had Ben arrested for
assault and battery some time ago
and that he had hit Ben on the jaw.
He also stated that he never had any
trouble with his neighbors. The
rest of his testimony was as the
above.
Mrs George Mackley sworn: l am
the wife of George Mackley. Know
Ben White. Heard Ben make
threats to burn our property.
Henry Ludwig sworn: Live in
Texas township, about three-quarters
of mile from Mackley's place and
also near Ben's place. l was present

the burning of the barn. Ben was
at my place on July 23 after the fire.
We talked about the fire and other
things. He said in the presence of
my wife and daughter, Never mind,
III fix you and Mackley. 1 made it
warm for Mackley and I'll make it
warm for you" He pointed toward
Mackley's barn as he said it.
Cross-eXamined- Was on good
terms with White. l was a witness
against Ben once and he always held
it against me.
Mrs. Henry Ludwig sworn: Heard
part of conversation between my hus-
band and Ben White, Testimony
corroborated.
Edna Ludwig: Also testified to
hearing part of the conversation be-
tween her father, Henry Ludwig, and
Ben White. She said that Ben and
her father were sitting on the
porch.
George Mackley recalled: Observ-

went back of his house. Saw a light
burning at $3.50 O'Clock morning Of
fire. Couldn't say that was unusual.
Never saw a light there before.
Commonwealth rested.
The defense offered no evidence.
The District Attorneys argument
to the jury was short,
Chas. P. Searle, Esq, made a
short argument to the jury for the
defense in which he stated that the
lack of evidence on the part of the
defense did not imply guilt.
The Judge instructed the jury and
they filed out. They were out about
a half hour and returned a verdict
of guilty of burning the barn as
charged in the indictment.
White was taken back to the
county jail and that afternoon he
was brought before the court where
he was sentenced to a term in the
Eastern Penitentiary of not less than
two years and to pay fine of 500.
Ben promised the Judge that he
would leave that neighborhood if he
was let go but the chances are that
he will be far enough away from
that neighborhood to suit even him
self. He will be taken to Philadel-
phia within ten days.
