HAEVESTINC OF HAT
Now Being Done In Allegheny County
In a Very Thriftless Way.
BATHER POOR STUFF TO FEED OX.
Thousands of Tons Are Allowed to Become
Thoroughly Soaked.
THE PROSPECTS FOR EATABLE FRUIT
Aside from garden truck, hay is almost
the only crop the average farmer in Alle
gheny county can raise -with profit, and this
is being harvested in very poor shape and in
a ery thriftless manner. Thousands of
Jons hac had from one to three wettings
before being stacked or put away in mows.
It may sell, but it is likely to bring a poor
price, and the poor brutes that must feed
upon it are to be commiserated, as they will
scarce be able to get around a sufficient
quantity to be well nourished.
The average Allegheny county farmer
has let his grip, and has no right to com
plain if his hav fetch but little more money
than Xo. 3 prairie or packing hay. He does
not cut his timothy until it is dead ripe, and
the silica in the fiber predominates. Much
of the grass being cut now is dead ripe, and
the seed shells off with the leat shaking,
and there are many meadows yet un
touched. LITTLE MACHINE HARVESTING.
Comparatively little machinerv is ued in
larvesting in this county, and farmers say
it does not pay on hilly land. But as they
must pay mechanic's wages for very indiffer
ent help, it is evident that the interest on a
few hundred dollars' worth of machines
would be saved in one week each harvest,
for in these davs of sharp competition only
a first-clas article of hay is wortli shipping
to market, and machines have gotten very
cheap. For instance, a mowing machine
that cost 5150 25 vears ago can now be
bought for(f)0, and the machine has been
greatly improved in that time by the use of
Etronger and at the same time lighter ma
terial in its construction.
It is true that hav docs not command so
Ihigh a price as it did then, but it should be
bcrne in mind that it costs jut as much to
produce a poor article as a good one. If
instead of allowing a field to lie in swath
tuuil it is et two or three times before
being stacked, a smaller amount were cut
each forenoon and cocked quite green in
the afternoon, it would cure and make
much brtter hay, and the work could be ex
yedited just as well as in the other fashion.
LOCAL FEUIT CROP SPOTTED.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary fruit
Jirospect in early spring, the local crop is
quite spotted. In many parts of the county
will b? found two apple orchards one-fourth
of a mile apart, one having about half a
crop, and less tha'a a wagon load in the
other, but in vne of the orchard i will be
found branches broking under their loads,
as at one tim u the spring was expected.
The fruit, however, will be of better quality
than it would hae been had the early ex
pectations been realized.
Early potatoes in good ground that has
been well worked are phenomenally large
and in splendid condition, larger than
lnown previously for a generation past, but
most other i egetables are late, and grade
ness will tell you that the home crop of ripe
tomatoes will" not make much show in mar
ket until the new moon has attained some
size. And here the lunatics have science
on their side, as it has been amply demon
strated that vegetables, such as tomatoes
ond cereals, ripen faster in light than in
darkness, and moonlight becomes an im
portant adjunct

ORE CHAPIES OF A VENDETTA
TTTie Crime for "Which a Negro Politician
"Was Hanged at Houston, Tex.
St. Louis, July 31. The following is
the story of the crime committed by Will
iam Caldwell, who was hanged at Houston,
Tex., to-day: William Caldwell's death
probably sealed the lips of a man who could,
had he wished, have told more about the
origin of the fearlul strife which raged be
tween the Jay Bird and Woodpecker factions
in Fort Bend count than any other person.
He was a negro, far above the usual stand
ard of his race in intelligence. The war
fare which existed for two years extermin
ated whole families, but Caldwell is the
onlv person who met a judicial death on ac
count of it. He killed Dr. J. M. Shamblen
on the night of July 31, 1888. This was the
iirst murder committed by either side of the
vendetta.
Dr. Shamblen was a prominent "Jay
bird," or Democrat. He was regarded as the
leader of the opposition to those who were
controlling the political destinies of Fort
Bend county at that time. Caldwell was a
Woodpecker, or Republican. On the night
of the assassination Dr. Shamblen was sit
ting at a table in his home, a few miles out
of Bichmond, the county seat of Fort Bend
county, with his wife and iamily surround
ing him. He was holding family prayer.
Suddenly a load of buckshot crashed
through a window near w hich he was sit
ting. The doctor dropped from his chair and
expired. No one saw Caldwell when he shot
Dr. Shamblen. The evidence upon 'Irtc-. hr
was arrested, tried, convicted and executed
was purely circumstantial. Caldwell had
been renting a farm from the murdered
man, and there had been some trouble be
tween them over a division of crops.
A CELEBEATED ARTIST'S BEOTHES
Xound Frajing and in a Demented Condi
tion in Chicago.
Chicago, July 31. Last Sunday an in
sane man was found praying on the steps of
the First National Bank. He claimed that
his name was Pierre Millet, and that he
was an artist, and the brother of Jean
Francis Millet, the renowned French artist,
who painted the "Angelus." A letter was
received in this city from Rev. Narcisse
Cyr, of Boston, who" says Millet is un
doubtedly what he claims"to be, and that he
is an artist of merit. His present residence
is in New York, though he formerly lived
in Brooklyn, where he suffered "from a
severe case of sunstroke, which has nppar
parently affecitd his mind.
Mr- Millet has apparently fully recovered
from his attack of last Sunday. "He has an
extremely sensitive nature, and his friends
all avoid the unpleasant subject of his
maladv when in conversation with him.
INSTJEANCE MEN IN TROUBLE.
Theinselics Indicted for Fraud and Their
Company to 31o Dissolved.
Albany, N. Y., July 31. Superintend
ent of Insurance Pierce yesterday, upon re
ceiving the report of an examination in the
aflairs of the Flour City Life Association
of BochestLr, requested the Attorney Gen
eral to take steps 10 dissolve the corpora
tion and w ind up its aflairs on the ground of
fraud.
Deputy Attorney General Maynard to-day
notified the officers cf the company that
they would be given a hearing Thursday,
when they must show cause w hy the com
pany should not be dissolved. Several of
the officers of the Flour City Company are
already under arrest on indictments for
forgery and fraud.
Ite. Dr. Moflat Chosen.
Eev. Dr. James D. Moffat, of Washing
ton and Jefferson College, has been elected

signified his acceptance.
INSECURE STACKS
Apparently the Cause of the Elba Mill Dis
asterThe Coroner Begins His Inquest
on the Death of the Three Victims of the
Accident.
Coroner McDowell yesterday afternoon
began the inquest on the three deaths in the
Elba mill disaster last "Wednesday. The
testimony was largely to the effect that the
collapse of the building resulted from the
stacks being poorly supported. D. Bald
win, a foreman, was present at the acci
dent Tuesday evening the building was
in safe condition. The guys to the stacks
batt been loosened about ten days before to
admit the setting of a truss. AH the girders
were up and every precaution had been
taken. At the time of the accident the wit
ness and several other men were taking in
slack of a line from a truss being righted
into position. The pulling in of the slack
could not have had strain sufficient to make
the building fall.
"W". Jleyers corroborated this testimonv.
James Bach, of Baltimore, was not work
ing on the building, but from what lie;Mw
it was in safe condition. There were very
few guy lines to the stacks. The latter
were three or four feet out of plumb, and
he believed the wreck was caused by their
tailing, and taking the building with them.
Had the building fallen toward the river or
any other way it would have shown faulty
construction, but to collapse as it did proved
that something had fallen to the top. He
did not think the stacks were safe.
Thomas B. Easton had noticed the stack
leaning, and said to his fellow-workmen:
"It looks a little shaky for us to work
there." He made no mention of this matter
to any of the officers of the company in
terested or to the foreman. There were very
few guy lines.
Edward Condon was working on the roof,
and saw a guy line unhooked from below.
He then felt the vibration of the building
and jumped in time to save himself. He
heard remarks about the unsafety of the
stacks and of their being out of plumb.
He saw the fall of the south stack. The
guy lines were of iron.
John Battles testified that trallinc the
beam into place had no effect on the stacks.
James Taylor on Tuesday evening saw
that the third truss was considerably bent
and leaning toward Second avenue. Wednes
day morning the bend was greater, and
the part of the building so supported looked
unsafe.
W. A Mullane, of Akron, O., who had
the contract from Biter & Conley for plac
ing the roof on the building, said he had
charge, and Jlr. Everson and Cook, of the
Oil Well Supply Company, were at the
building the evening prior to the accident.
No strain had been brought on the building
that could have thrown it down by any
work he had ordered done. Everything
was in good condition except the stacks.
which were old and rusty and were not sup
ported enough.
Thomas Eans saw the bend in the third
truss and told some workmen. The latter
commenced to fix the truss. A little later
the building collapsed.
Mr. Baldwin was here recalled. He said
the truss was not bent Tuesday.
John Cook, superintendent of the Elba
Iron Works, saw truss 3 buckle over to
Second avenue. He called Jlr. Evcrson's
attention to it. Men were put to set it
right, but instead of pulling it up they
pulled it down and set the building in
motion. None of the mill men had anything
to do with the work.
The inquest was here adjourned until this
morning at 10 o'clock.

DEEAILED BY LIGHTNING.
A Strange Railroad Accident Daring a New
York Thunder Storm.
New Yore, July 31. During a storm
la6t night lightning.in the shape of a hall of
fire, fell within a few feet of the railway
station at Sheepshead Bay just as a passen
ger train w as pulling into the depot. The
shock threw the train, which comprised
three cars and an engine, completely off the
track. Intense excitement prevailed for a
few moments. Women screamed and men
lost their presence of mind in the face of
what they considered inevitable death.
They were finally quieted and sent home on
another train.
Almost simultaneously with the Sheeps
head Bay freak a ball of fire fell in the rear'
of -ibe Manhattan "Beach Hotel at Coney Isl
and, and created consternation among the
guests and employes. It struck the tele
graph wires with a report like that of a can
non shot. No serion6 damage was done ex
cepting to the wires.
A PITTSBTJBG IBON COMPANY SUED.
A Springfield, I1L, Company Seeks to I're
tent the Removal of Steel Ingots.
Spijisgfield, III., July 3L The Spring
field Iron Company has brought suit in re
plevin, in the United States Circuit Court,
against the Carbon Iron Company, of Pitts
burg, to prevent removal of about 20,000
worth of steel ingots and plate now in the
yards of the former company.
The Carbon Iron Company was operating
the steel plate mill of the Springfield Com
panv under lease, it being stipulated that
the lessees should leave the property in as
good shape as they found it. About two
weeks ago the mill burned down, and now
the Carbon Iron Company refuse to rebuild
and is preparing to remove its propertyfrom
the State. The United States Marshal has
placed a custodian in charge. The Carbon
Iron Company has a large contract for steel
armor for Government cruisers now being
built at San Francisco, and the fire seriously
interfered with its operations.
