These is no subject of greater econ
omic interest than that of roads and
transportation. The common roads of
the country are among the first elements
of commercial greatness. Bad roads in
times of financial straits have been the
ruin of many a farmer and country mer
chant, and good roads (at reasonable
cost) are always a blessing. Albert A.
Pope of Boston, Mass., has prepared a
memorial to congress on the subject of
a comprehensive exhibit of roads, their
construction and maintenance at the
World's Columbian exposition. Send to
your member of congress for a copy. If
Mr. Pope's labors succeed in awakening
general interest in this subject, they will
be a valuable contribution to the busi
ness of the country.
THE COMING GRASS.
How It Grown in California and Why. 3Ir.
Keeil Makes a Suggestion Worth For
tunes to Nebraska Farmers.
EDrron Journal: In the last num
ber of Tns Journal I notice alfalfa is
spoken of favorably for low ground. I
experimented with it a little before
leaving Nebraska, but with littlo en
couragement. I also know other Ne
braska farmers who commenced its cul
ture in great confidence, which ended in
disappointment, and I never saw or
knew of a well set alfalfa field in the
state, though there may be such. I
have learned much more of 'tho habits
and necessities of the plant since hero.
Alfalfa is the only species of clover (no
grasses proper aro cultivated hero ex
copt in ornamental lawns) cultivated in
Southern California. Under favorable
circumstances and with intelligent man
agement tho results are simply won
drous. But its demands aro imperative.
It must have a deep, rich soil and
constant moisture and plenty of it.
Under favorable conditions a much
larger product may be had thtin from
any other forage plant I know. In the
spring of '91 1 sowed about half an acre
to alfalfa. I took off six cuttings dur
ing tho summer, averaging about half a
ton each to tho half acre. I thought
this quite remarkable. But this year it
is a constant wonder to me. On the
20th of June I cut from the half aero a
cousiderablo over one ton of dry hay
which had been growing but 26 days.
Two other crops equally as large had
been taken from it before this spring,
and at least five more will be cut before
winter. Alfalfa hay is worth S12 per
ton Here. Last year it was sold for 15
to S18. If this was all tho story, the
remark mado by my old Columbus
friend, Rov. Griswold, after looking at
the wonderful growth a few days ago,
'why you have a bonanza in alfalfa alone
here," would bo true. But like many
another California story, an important
part is omitted. It's water that costs
here, and tho extra water required to
make from two to threo tons of dry hay
per acre which is easily done, is a very
material item in figuring tho profits on
ulfnlfa raising. In Nebraska I think
there are comparatively few spots where
the gronnd would not become dry and
hard during some portion of tho year or
when water would not stand on the
ground at times, either of which would
bo fatal to tho crop. Besides, alfalfa is
an exceedingly tender plant and the
late and early frosts of the northern
states would materially shorten its sea
son. But unless tho severe winters
would be too hard on the roots, I'm not
sure but it could bo raised with profit
there in a small way by irrigation. It
will bo many years before irrigation will
be used in producing general crops to
any considerable extent in the prairie
states of the middle west, but I am
quito satisfied that it might be used to
great advantage for special purposes, by
using tho common wind mill with
storage tanks. It would well pay tho
expense just for vegetable and small
fruit gardens. There never need bo
failure on account of drouth of plenty
of vegetables and instead of the luxury
of small fruits from the home garden
extending over barely two or three
weeks, it might be enjoyed as many
months. Since early in March our table
has been abundantly supplied with fresh
strawberries, every day, from a small
patch and the promise today for weeks
to corao is as good as at any timo since
tbe vines commenced bearing. Most
luscious blackberries commenced ripen
ing about the middle of Juno and with
proper management of the water they
will continue to fruit for at least three
months other small fruits the same.
Of course tho ordinary March or Octo
ber Nebraska weather is not very con
ducive to fruit ripening, but I can not
see why both vegetables and small fruits
may not, not only bo assured but their
season extended during the greater por
tion of the warm months there by water
artificially applied between rains.
1 think in another letter I will de
scribe a simplo plan of irrigating from a
storage tank or other supply, hoping
somo of my old farmer friends may try
tho experiment on some special crop in
a small way. J. H. Reed,
Riverside, Calif.
Not a Great Fruit Crop.
Dayton, Ohio, July 2.I. By tele
graph reports to the Kiefabcr company
yesterday afternoon it is learned that
the peach crop in southwestern Ohio
will not amount to much and what
there is will be late. Lake Erie orch
ards have none. Some parts of Michi
gan will have good peaches. " Few ap
ples in Michigan. None in southwest
ern Ohio. Pears good everywhere.
Dayton commission houses have shipped
25,000 barrels of cabbage to Detroit and
Cleveland at 90 cents to 83 per barrel.
Dry Weather and Forest Fires.
Halifax, N. S., July 23. There has
been so little rain in Cape Breton for
the last six weeks that forest fires have
started and been raging for the past ten
days. People in all directions are be
coming very much alarmed in conse
quence, fearing they may have an ex
experience similar to that of St. Johns,
N. F. Unless there is rain to-night or
to-morrow much property will be de
stroyed throughout the country and
the fires may reach the towns of Sid
ney and North Sydney.
Work on Cruisers Delayed.
Philadelphia, July 25. Work on the
cruiser New York is being delayed be
cause of non-receipt of her armor from
the Carnegie works. The boat will be
launched next week but without side
armor, the Carnegie works having this
contract also. No armor for the Mass
achusetts is here, the Carnegie people
being the contractors. The Indiana
armor for launching is all here from
the Bethlehem iron works.
Is a Broader Policy.
Ottawa, Ont., July 25. A prominent
government official says that the Amer
ican policy is a much broader one than
thejmere question of car-tolls, compre
hending as the ultimate object the
right of navigation through the entire
St. Lawrence system, perfect equality
with British subjects and under an un
limited guaranty.
FBICK HAS BEEN SHOT
BIO SENSATION IN THE HOME
STEAD TROUBLE.
Repcrtad t Ba Dyta 0Daaira
Trial DaTriepa Kathlar Kaw. mad tfca
Conrt Takes a Baoaaa Tk MBla at
Homestead Worklnjr.
Pursue, Pa., July 25. At 1:15
o'clock this afternoon H. C. Prick was
shot by a man supposed to be a Jew,
whose name in unknown. The man
came into his office and without warn
ing fired.
It is not known how dangerously
Mr. Frick is injured. He is able to
talk. The man has been arrested.
There are four wounds. One is in
the neck, two in the back and the
fourth in the side. The man had a
knife, and, as only three shots were
heard, it is supposed the fourth wound
that in the side is from a knife.
Dr. Litchfield, who made an examina
tion, says that he cannot tell whether
the wounds will result fatally. Mr.
Frick's condition, however, is regarded
as very serious.
The would-be assassin has frequently
been in Mr. Frick's office, and was ad
mitted to-day without question. Mr.
Frick was alone, and what passed be
tween them is not known yet. After
the shooting Secretary Leishman rushed
in and grabbed the man, who turned
on -Mr. Lieismnan, oui was overpow
ered. The police were summoned and
the man was taken to Central station.
In the meanwhile an immense crowd
had begun to gather in the streets, and
when the officers appeared with their
prisoner, who was pale and trembling,
and with his clothing spattered with
blood, there were hundreds of
groans and howls, intermingled
with cries of "Shoot him!" "Lynch the
murderer!" It was with difficulty that
the officers succeeded in conveying the
man in safety to the patrol box at the
corner of Wood street and Fifth ave
nue, from which the patrol wagon was
summoned.
He was roughly pushed into the
vehicle and taken to Central station,
where he gave the name of Alexander
Bcrkman, and said that he resided on
Forty-second street, New York. He
was, he said, a Russian Jew; had been
in America six years and in Pitts
burg two days. He has been stop
ping at the Merchants' Hotel
on Water street. When questioned re
garding his occupation he said he had
been a compositor on a New York
paper, but declined to give its name.
Upon being searched a number of
38 cal. cartridges were found in his
coat pocket. During the process of
searching he became wildly excited and
deathly pale. The general impression
of all who saw him at this juncture
was that he was undoubtedly de
mented.
At 3 o'clock the attending physicians
will risk no opinion regarding the
chances of Mr. Frick's recovery. It is
feared that the effect of the news upon
Mrs. Frick, who eight or ten days ago
became the mother of a little boy, and
who is devotedly attached to her hus
band, will be very serious.
The excitement in the city is growing
with every minute, and no such fever
has been experienced since the riots of
' 77. Business men have left their stores
and are mingling with the surging
crowd of people, and business in the
central portion of the city, for the time
being, is practically suspended.
STRIKERS IN COURT.
Hearing- or the Case Against O'Donnell
and Ross.
PrrrsBUBG, Pa., Jul' 25. The hear
ing on the application for the release
of Hugh O'Donnell and Hugh Ross, the
Homestead strike leaders, came up this
morning. The hearing was set for 10
o'clock, but long before that time,
the court room was erowded and the
hallways filled, while groups of men
stood around the entrance to the court
house and discussed the probable out
come. About forty witnesses were
subpeenaed bj' the commonwealth, and
among them were citizens of Home
stead, some of them mill-workers,
newspaper men and members of the
National Guard. After three hours
work nothing new was elicted. and
the court took a recess at 12:3..
Homestead Strikers EacourMied.
"Homestead, Pa., July 25. -o.i to
Braddoek!" was the war cry here to
day. It was whispered in every dwelling,
mooted at every street corner, talked
over at different meetings, until the
trains roaring past to Braddoek, carry
ing hundreds of the locked -out men,
seem to carry also a refrain which is
music to the hopes of the Home
steaders. "Braddoek will close down."
With the bringing out of the Du
quesne workers the people here expect
that public sentiment at home, assisted
by pressure from here and Duquesne
will compel the Edgar Thomson plant
operatives to quit almost immediately.
The men here propose making a vigor
ous canvas to that end and the Amalga
mated association is willing to promise
everything to the Braddoek men if they
join the sympathy strike movement.
Despite gloomy reports from the coke
region, the men here do not intend to
abandon that region without an at
tempt, and for that purpose, it is pro
posed, if the Braddoek men strike, to
make personal appeals to the coke
workers, send up Slav orators and arbi
trators and also to scatter broadcast
pamphlets bearing on the strike and
appealing to the men to take advant
age of this time and organize. It was
to be dinned into the ears of coke
workers that the militia is now at
Homestead and they need fear for no
repetition of the Loar incident.
A darker and more threatening story
is in circulation here, which causes
much adverse comment, though, denied
by the advisory committee. Several
engineers on freight trains over the
Monongahela. division of the PitUWrg,
MoKeesport &. Youghiogeny railroad
have been approached and warned by
parties unknown that if they carried a
pound of steel out of theMunhall yards
they would be shot. The engineers
have been requested to furnish descrip
tions of the men uttering the threats
and prompt arrests will be made.
AMERICAN TIN PLATE-
A Total Prodoctloa of 13.248,830
rounds Darin the Last Fiscal Year.
Washington, July 25. The Treasury
Department has received a special re
port from Special Agent Ayer, in which
he says that the production of tin and
terne plates for the quarter ending
June 30, 1892, as shown by the
sworn statements of manufactur
ers, was over 8,000,000 pounds
as against 3,004,037 pounds during the
previous quarter, and about 5,240,000
pounds for the previous nine months,
the total production for the whole year
being 13,240,830 pounds. Of the 8,000,000
pounds produced during the last quar
ter, over 5,000,000 pounds were nude ,
irom American plates. In addiuoa to
the f oregointv the production of Juaer- 1
lean sheefiron or steel into articles and
wares' tinned or terne coated daring
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892, aa
shown by the sworn statements of
manufacturers, was more than 2,000,000
pounds, the 'returns being as yet in
complete. PINE STOCK BURNED UP.
BoUIfbrook Stable Daasagad aaa Six
teen Horses Farbk la tka Flaataa.
Baltimore, July 25. The famous
Bollingbrook stables on the farm of R.
W. Walden, at Middleburg, Carroll
county, Md., were struck by lightning
and set on fire last night. The flames
spread and soon enveloped the whole
series of buildings, lighting up the
country for miles around. The cries of
the frightened horses could be heard for
a long distance. Bollingbrook is a model
stock farm. w John A. and A. H. Morris
own most of the .horses there, which
which are valued at nearly half a mil
lion dollars. The stallions include such
animals as imported Galore, who cost
930,000; Tom Ochiltree and the beauti
ful imported Hopeful. Probably the
only insured horse on the farm is im
ported Galore, for only $7,000.
TRAIN ROBBERS ENCAMPED
Near Fryor Creak Station, I. T. Ola
cars Afraid to Tackle Them.
Vinita, I. T., July 25. Interest in
the train robbery was revived yesterday
by a report sent from Big Cabin Switch,
eight miles below here, that the Dal
tons were seen moving in the direction
of this city. Nine armed men rede up
to the house of a man named Woods,
three miles east of Big Cabin, about
sunset last evening and inquired the
way to Vinita. It was assumed that
these fellows were the outlaws. The
outlaws have been in camp ever since
the -robbery about six or eight miles
east of Pryor Creek station.
It is suggested that as the officers
would not go out to hunt them they
have started out to hunt the officers.
DANIEL DOUGHERTY ILL.
Tka Famous Orator Dangerously Sick
with Malarial Fever.
Philadelphia, July 25. Daniel
Dougherty, the famous lawyer and
orator, is lying dangerously ill at his
residence in this city. Although he
has been suffering for nearly two
months his condition has been known
to but few. An attack of malarial
fever, aided by liver trouble, is render
ing his condition very desperate, The
ailments were brought on by over
work. How Canada Will Retaliate.
New Yoke, July 25. An Ottawa,
Ont., special says it is re ported on good
authoritythat the dominion government
in the event of President Harrison's en
forcing the act imposing an equal tax
on Canadian vessels passing through
the Soo canal, will pass an order in
council imposing a tax on American
vessels passing through tbe Welland
canal. This, it is declared, will not be
I any more of an evasion of the treaty of
j Washington than the threatened Amer
: ican decree, as the United States gov
j eminent by the same treaty agreed to
j secure the Canadians, on the same
I terms as Americans, the use of the
Soo canal, at that time owned by the
State of Michigan.
The Maverick Bank Trouble.
Boston, July 25. New legal talent
has been summoned to assist District
Attorney Allen in preparing new in
dictments against Messrs. French and
Potter, of the Maverick bank. The
grand jury will not come in before
Aug. 16, and it is agreed that no ar
rests shall be made before the grand
jury has considered the cases. It is the
general opinion of the bar that the
offences committed in the Maverick
National bank, while forbidden by the
United States statute, cannot be pun
ished, as the statue provided for no
punishment except upon the offending
bank.
His Heroism Rewarded.
Boston, July 25. Clayton C. Clough
has come into 5,000 by the will of
Hereford Drummond of Drummond
Chambers, 10 John street, London.
About a year and a half ago, when in
Halifax, Mr. Clough, at the risk of his
life, stopped a pair of runaway horses
attached to a carriage in which were
Mr. Drummond and his only daughter.
The gentleman wished to show his
gratitude in some substantial way, but
Mr. Clough declined a reward.
Murdered In Their Red.
Denver, July 25. Mr. and Mrs. Ja
eob Scott were murderously assaulted
while in their bed early this morning
and frightfully chopped with a hatchet.
They died in a short time after being
discovered. The murderer is unknown,
but the former husband of Mrs. Scott,
Peter Heenan, is suspected of the crime,
as he is known to have made murder
ous threats by letter from Los Angeles,
where she left him. Whether Heenan
is in Denver or not is not known to the
police.
A Depot Gntted.
Athol, Mass., July 25. The depot
of the Fitchburg railroad here, one of
the finest on the road, was gutted by
fire last night. The loss to the com
pany will be heavy and the fire will
cause much inconvenience, as the build
ing was used as a union depot for both
the Fitchburg and Boston & Albany
roads.

Beer Will Be Cheaper.
Cixctnxatt, O., July 25. Five of the
the largest breweries of the city have
entered into a combination to sell beer
at $7 per barrel. The price heretofore
has been $8 per barrel. The eighteeu
other breweries not included in the
combine regard it as a menance, con
quently a beer-rate war is imminent.

Washington, July 25. The $5,000,000
appropriation for the Columbian expo
sition is almost certain to be conceded
by Congress. That seems to be settled.
The friends of the fair anjfnore hopeful
than ever to-day. Mr. Durborow claims
already a majority of from fifteen to
twenty for the appropriation, and the
ease with which he secures the promise
of many who voted against the appro
priation on Tuesday to vote for
it when the time comes may
in a great measure be attributed to the
subtle influence of the ex-President.
The fight will not take plaee until next
week. It might have come off to-day
had the leaders desired, but they feared
the absence of members who wanted
to spend Sunday at the seashore would
jeopardize their almost assured victory,
and at their request the conference
committee will not hasten its work.
Mr. Sayers said to-day that the com
mittee wonld not make its report be
fore next Monday and possibly not
until Tuesday.
ANTI-OPTION WILL GO OVER.
Senator Davis GIres Up All Hopes of
Reaching a Vote at This Sesssoa.
Washington, July 25. The anti-option
bill is not expected to reach a vote
this session, C. Wood Davis, who knows
more about the situation than Wash
burn himself said late this after
noon; "I do not look now for a
vote. The opponents will talk too long.
When the motion to adopt a resolution
fixing a certain day for adjournment is
reached it will, I believe, be carried.
The debate will go on until the session
ends. I had hoped for a vote this ses
sion. However, it means only a post
ponement of a few months; for I have
assurances that the bill will be passed
within thirty days of the reassembling
of Congress next December."
To-day's debate in the Senate on the
anti-option bill was led by Senator
Hansborough. Senator Washburn ad
raits the possibility of his bill going
over to December, but he sticks to his
belief that he will be able to get a vote
next week. "I have not given up the
fight," he said. "I shall push the bill
as hard as I cun and as I do not look
for Congress to adjourn till next Satur
day or the following Monday I think
that I can get a vote before then."

Washington, July 25. The passage
by the Senate of the Canadian retalia

measure, was surprising and unex
pected. By the terms of the bill the
President is giving power to im
pose tolls upon Canadian freight
and passengers passing through
the Sault Ste. Marie canal, and even to
prohibit the use of the canal to them.
Tolls upon freight are to be $2 a ton
and on passengers not above $5 a head.
Although there was no debate, it is
known that the subject has been thor
oughly considered in executive session.
The expedition was due to to a direct
intimation from the President that he
desired immediate action. For some
time past secret agents of Canada have
been here endeavoring to arrange an
amicable settlement of the trouble, but
it is evident that their propositions
were not acceptable, hence the intima
tion to the foreign committee, upon
which the Senate acted yesterday.

SCANDAL AGAIN.
Tka Hasbaad Bring Salt Ajralast His
Wife for Adaltery.
Paris, July 25. Mr. Edward Parker
Deacon, who is serving a one-year sen
tence at Grassc for shooting and kill
ing M. Abeille at the Hotel Splendide,
has opened a proceeding against his
wife for adultery with M. Abeille.
This action is taken by Mr. Deacon in
consequence of Mrs. Deacon's applica
tion summoning her husband to permit
her to have access to the children.
According to the French law, if Mrs.
Deacon is found guilty of the charge
her husband makes against her she
will be liable to a term of imprison
ment. The custody of the children was
awarded to Mr. Deacon, and they are
now in charge of his brother. The
statement that they are living with
their mother at the Convent of Our
Lady of the Assumption is disproved
by the action taken by Mrs. Deacon for
a legal order allowing her to see them.
