BRAKEMAN FATALLY HURT.
Joseph H. Labonte Was Run Over at
Concord, N. H.

Concord. n. H., March 3.-Ioseph H
Labontc, employed by the Boston &
Maine railroad as brakeman on the
Peterboro and Hillsboro freight, died yes
terday afternoon as the result Of injuries
which he received in the. morning.
While attempting to couple just as
the train was pulling out, Lebonte is
said to have slipped on the rail and fell
beneath the Wheel Instead OF the car
passing over him, it caught him in the
groin and pushed him along the rail for
several car lengths. He was rushed to
the Margaret Pillsbury hospital, where
the right leg was amputated at the hip
and the left hand at the wrist. On his
arrival at the hospital it was thought
that there was slight hope of his recov-
cry from his terrible injuries and priest
was called, who administered the last
rites
Mr.. Labonte was "a years of age and
had always been a resident of this city.
He was one of the most popular young
men on the system. He was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Labonte, who
recently went to Billerica, Mass, on the
opening of the Boston & Maine railroad
shops there. They came to this city
yesterday afternoon. He is also sur
vived by several sisters and brothers.

Had Several Victories.

Portland, Me, March 3.-Shifting con-
troll of municipal affairs and the polling

features of the elections held in ten of

again successful against Republicans and
Democrats.
Bath shifted from Democratic to Re
publican, while Rockland, for the first
time in five years, turned from the Re-
publican to the Democratic party.
Ellsworth exchanged Democratic
mayor and Republican board of alder
men for former Republican mayor and
Democratic aldermen. Halowell Demo
Gratis retained the mayoralty, but lost
the city by one alderman.
The Democrats went down to defeat
in Lewiston for the first time in nine
years, being replaced by combination
of Progressives, Republicans, and citi-
zens South Portland Republicans re-
gained the Office of chief executive and
retained the city government.
There was no change in Auburn, East
port, Saco, and Waterville, city control
remaining in the hands of the Progress
sives in Auburn, Republicans in Eastport
and Saco, and Democrats in Waterville.

FOWLER INDICTMENT DISMISSED.
He Was the So-Called Tammany Bag
Man.

New York, March 3.--The indictment
charging Everett p. Fowler, the so-called
Tammany bag man, with extortion, was
dismissed yesterday by Supreme Court
Justice Vernon M. Davis. Fowler, il
was charged, obtained a political contri-
button of $3.50 from Seneca P. Hull OF
Cortland, N. Y, who was competing for
state highway contracts.
The indictment charged Fowler with
extortion in New York county. His at
togney, Martin w. Littleton, demurred on
the ground that if the facts in the in
dietment constituted crime the crime
was not committed in New York county
but either in Cortland county, where
Hull resided, or in 0nondaga, where Fow-
Ter had his Office in the city of Syra-
cuse.
Mr.. Littleton argued that the crime
could not be committed concurrently in
three counties at one time, and on this
ground Justice Davis sustained the de-
murrer and dismissed the indictment.

THE BALDWIN APPLE.
That 1t Is a "Good All-Around Apple"
Explains Its Popularity.

There is probably no variety of apple
more grown and better known than the
Baldwin, says the Michigan Farmer. 1t
has been the most popular standard va
riety for quite few years Just because
it is good all-around apple. 1t has
no special feature in which il excels, but
it is fairly good in all of the qualities
which 60 to make a good variety. The
tree is a large, vigorous grower which
bears bennially. 1t is a little slow in
coming into bearing but it bears abun-
dantly after that. 1t is generally long
lived, but when grown in the northern
part of the state it sometimes winter
kills. There is probably no variety
which does well ON so many different
soils as the Baldwin. However, soil CON
ditions effect the fruit and we will very
often find apples grown on the lighter
soils with better color and generally bet
ter quality, while those grown ON the
heavier soil will often lack in color. On
account of this difference we will have
great variation between fruits of the
same variety. This is especially true of
the Baldwin, and therefore, we have
what some people call white Baldwins,
black Baldwins, etc. There are no differ
ences between these except through the
influence of environment.
This variety is generally of good quail
ity, color and size. Under favorable CON
ditions it sometimes becomes rather
small in size. 1t is a variety easily
handled because it does not bruise easily.
1t is a good keeper in storage, which
is a favorable feature for commercial
apple to have. These two factors also
make it probably the best for export
trade. When the apples are not good for
general marketing purposes this variety
makes an ideal one for evaporation and
canning purposes. The fruit and foliage
are quite resistant to diseases and are
quite easily kept clean by thorough
spraying. The Baldwin spot, trouble
which cannot be controlled is the cause
of serious loss in the market value of
the fruit in some seasons. This trouble
is not caused by fungus trouble or an
insert, but it is psychological defect
more often found in overgrown speci-
mems.
This popular variety came up as
seeding on the farm of John Ball, near
Lowell, Mass, about the year l740. At
different times it was called "Wood-
peeker" and "Butters" and it was not
until it was brought to the attention of
Col. Baldwin of Woburn, Mass, who
propagated it freely, that it received its
present name. Many think that the
Baldwin will pass from prominence in
favor of other varities. AT present there
is no variety which has all of the good
features which this one has. Many var
ieties are particular as to soil and loca
tion and they also need special care in
spraying. So ii grower does not know
their pecularities in this respect and
wishes to just 90 into ordinary apple
growing, the Baldwin should be one of
his fayorite varities.
