EndofPeach Season

Several straight car loads of late
peaches have been sent out this week
and several others loaded for the can
ming factory. The varieties are Sal
ways and late clings, a small per-
centage of which show marks from
the hail of last week. About all the
peaches will be cleaned up this week,
likewise the late pears. with the pos
sible exception of a few p Barrys
and Late Nellies.
The peach market is said to be
quite a bit better than 1t was a week
ago, and all are going at fair prices.
Some people are still sending here
for private shipments and stating
they have not yet done their canning.
The apple market has been good
and some of the earlier Jonathans
netted up to 50 the box by the car
load for the finest fruit. Later the
market sagged but extra stock is still
commanding a good price.
The total shipments from Palisade
to date amount to ,O41 carloads, not
counting several; but extra stock is
still commanding a good price.
The total shipments from Palisade
to date amount to ,041 carloads, not
counting several cars sent to the
canning factory, and there are still
a large number of apples to go. 1t
is now estimated the damage from
the hail will amount to 20 per cent,
the principal loss being in Vineland
and near the mouth of the canon

EXPLOSION OF AMMONIA
KILLS VETO C. CROSS
His Lungs, Weakened by Poisonous
Fumes, Are Attacked by
Pneumonia.

Veto c. Cross. eighteen years old an
engineers apprentice at the Naval Medi-
cal School Hospital. died yesterday of
pneumonia, induced by the inhalation of
fumes from an ammonia tank which ex-
ploded while the young man was at work
near it. Funeral services will be held at
) o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the resi-
dence, 1OI NJ street southeast, where
young Cross lived with his parents and
interment will be in Congressional Gene
terry.
The death of the young apprentice
brings to naught heroic attempt at res
cue in which Assistant Engineer Albert
Bauman defied asphyxiation by dashing
into the midst of the straangling fumes Of
ammonia and dragging the young man to
the outer air
Young Cross was assisting Bauman to
mend a belt operating a small refrigerat-
ing plant in the basement of the hospital
The repairs had just been completed and
the men were starting the machine when
without warning, the ammonia tank burst
lberating about seyenty-1ve pounds of
liquefied ammonia. Immediately dense,
suffocating fumes filled the room. Bau-
man, VINO was near the door, ruSned up
stairs, believing his companion was fol-
lowing him. When he reached the top,
however, the young man wa3 not to be
seen. but Bauman heard him call twice
Realizing that the youth had been
overcome, Bauman took a deep breath
and went back into the fume-filled room.
He picked up Cross, who was lying face
down in little of the liquid which re-
manned. His exertion compelled him to
inhale some of the fumes before he could
drag his companion upstairs and into the
open air, and Bauman also collapsed.
Both men were taken to the operating
room of the hospital. where the pulmotor
was used to revive Cross, and it was
thought he might recover. The irritation
to his lungs was SO great, however, that
pneumonia developed. to which he sue
cumbed yesterday morning.
