The trip to Shenandoah was made in
the c" tht-wheel car No. (I. with John II.
James as conductor and Daniel Walters
as motorman. Supervisor Welsh, of
Mahanov township, got on the car
Jacksons and upon entering it was intro
duced to the olllcmls by Capt. lialley as
"tile best friend of the Lakeside Klectrlc
Hail way." Capt. lioiley and Treasure
Phillips made the excursion as pleasant
ns possible for everybody and to their
personal efforts is duo the credit for the
suciessol the aualr.
When the cor arrived at Shenandoah
the storm was so severe that the olllciais
would not venture out of thecarand ahan
doped the intention to transfer and
mnke a trip to Ashland over the Schuyl
Kin miction Company's line. Ihe cur
returned to Mahanoy City and the major
ity of the party remained there and in
Ijrpected tho power house, while Dallas
"banders, John A. Johnnn, Capt. lialley
and a few others took a trip to Ashland
and returned on the Cannon Hall of the

In Inspecting the model plant of tli

The boilers are rateu at 1175 II. P. each
and are arranged in one battery, each
boiler being composed of 180 tubes
Inches diameter. The boilers have
large storage capacity, eacli boiler having

especially adapted for carrying hlgli

Nkw York, May 19. "Cherries are
ripe."
That mouth-watering hit of news was
telegraphed from tho Golden Gate n few
ays ago.Kand some time this week or
next a carload of luscious fruit will arrive
here.
This will he the first contribution of the
Boa'on.
They are not hot-house cherries, not a
hit of it. but big. sweet, winy. waxy, red
and white fruit and as flno a cropin ever
caino from tho orchards of San Jose.
A "tremendous sunnlv" the growers
promise, hut a tremendous consumption
the importers anticipate, and although
the crop Is big, tln distribution will be
ns wide on tho continent, and consequently
tne supply win ue small.
The hoodoo vcor. lust nast. was most
disastrous to the fruit people. Nobody
mode any money, uonsumers serveu
Iriecl apples for breakfast, and ice-cream
for dinner, and Importers sold the soft
and tropical fruits for barely more than
the shipping cost. Thousands of cargow
were taken hacK to tho sea ana thrown
overboard, because the co'nsioners could
not allord to land tne cases at iU centcson
that would only bring 40 cents on the
nler.
Hut times are brighter now. There is
marked activity in the fruit market and
a general uciiei that tne wotst is over.
l'rices aie not high, but thev are lirra,
and it Is past all denying that people are
tired of dried fruits and meats and want
a change.
This yearning for bitter-sweet, aside
from tho natural demand, is shown by
tin; extraordinary local consumption

the world.
In 1802 it took two weeks to get Call
fornia fruit into tills city; now it is de
llvered in ten days. The trip is made in
reirigerator cotes, pocked like trunks In
tho car. and Is tho fastest fruit freight In
the world. The fruit is picked a trifle
under ripeness, and it is a characteristic
ot the uoiuorma products that tney
carry better than if shipped ripe.
Cherries will not be cheap In hero nor
will any other California fruit for that
matter. Chicago is tne centre or an lm
niense market, and every year the growers
show a disposition to favor that market.
In lb'Jl the fruit freight from California
amounted to 1,3b" carloads. The distribu
tion was : Chicago, (w4 carloads; New
York, 238: Minneapolis, 111; Omaha. 01
Hoston. N7: New Orleans. 55: St. Paul. 51;
St. Louis, 44; Kansas City, 20; Louisville,
0: lSuIIalo. 1.
Last year I.ouu carloads, camo to this
city but Chicago consumed 3,000 carloads,
lietween June and November New York
will receive 1,000 carloads, of 20,000 pounds
of fresh fruits each, from California; other
sources of supply near home will aggre
gate immense receipts, probably 30,000,000
pounds.
In lbbt. 50.000 pounds of California fruits
wero sold in this city; in lKCMlio sales
amounted to 7,000,000 pounds; in 1FD3 to
20,000.000 ; this year's consumption will
exhaust the supply.
These fruit products amount to 35,000
000 more thon the told p" dm t, the out

Land that In '4'J was only used to dig out
gold ore now grows wheat and iruit to
the value of $1(10,000.000.
Formerly Spain, Turkey and Italy sup
plied America with IIO.MIO.OQO pounds of
raisins and prunes annuallj, but Cali
fornia varieties are so much finer in size
and llavor that foreign fruits are being
driven nut of the market. In Ib'.ll Cali
fornia supplied tho domestic trade with
27,000,000 pounds of prunes and 52,00(1,000
pounds of raisins. Only 0,000,000 pounds
of prunes and 1h,ooo,0(iO pounds of raisins
wero imported, against 01,000,000 pounds
of prunes and 44,000,000 pounds of raisins
imported the year previous, showing a
diminution of "W.OOO.OOO pounds of dried
lruit iu one year.
Kvery crop of California fruit is sweeter
and larger than the Inst, the art of culti
vation being brought to such perfection
that the products are unrivalled.
One famous littlo ranch, bought for
f5,000 by a retired army Burgeon and put
into prune orchards, is now yielding
$10,000 a year.
While the choicest and largest crops of
fruit come from the Golden Gate, there
are sections about the Gulf States that
ore as rich as the Garden of Kden. About
Mississippi are tho richest tomato fields
in tho world. Crops are ready the mit'dlo
of Juno, and they are absolutely lellable.
Florida is a great orange grove, and
growing all tho time, tho yield averaging
500,00(1 boxes, or ubout one-third of the
California supply. England is cultivat
ing a fancy for American oranges, and by
tho way of experiment, 100,000 boxes were
recently shipped to Hussto.
The peaches grown in Georgia aro as
choice as tho choicest hot house fruits.
Murshallville has tho glory of growing
the "Klberla," the most luscious fruit
that etercomo from a tree. New Yotk
ill have the first pick, aud the carload
due tho first week In June will contain
20,00(1 pounds ready to be peeled, cut and

peaches will come into the New York
market from Georgia, Delaware, Jersey
and Michigan.

Description of Company i" New
Klegsnl IIt-niliuiirtrrt.
No sooner had Captain E. C. Wngner,
of Girnrdville, been elected to the com
mand of Company F, N. . P., of that
place, than he at once set out to make the
work of the company more pleasant. Ho
saw the necessity of a home for the "boys,"
and resolved that they should have one.
from the organization ot the company in
1878. until June, lMll. they were unable to
secure suitable qunrters for drill and meet
ing rooms. From the basement In Em. K.
Decker's building, where tho organization
of the company was effected, the "boys"
removed to Griffith's Hall. The company
remained here forsomo time, and then se
cured Lafferty's Hall as n pltuu for head
quarters. From hero they moved to Kcn
ney's skutlng rink. The building was too
small, and the company was always ham
pered for wont ot loom. A brighter future
awaited the boys. In 1890, through the
ellorts of that stounch menu ol the com
pany, a veteran of the late war and there
after an enthusiastic National Guardsman
himself. General Louis Wagner, of Phila
delphia, a lot 50x150 feet, situated at the ,
corner oi ceconu nnu j streets, along wun
a building 40xN) feet, was secured from
the Glrard Estate at a nominal price. An
association composed exclusively of the
members of the company was then formed,
and In nfew months the building was con
verted into nn Armory having adtill floor
40xb0 feet Iu the clear.
In order to raise funds to help defray
the expense incurred, two fairs were held.
One iu 1S01, and another In 1KB. The peo
ple of Girardvlllo and vicinity responded
nobly, and with the help of tho ladies,
who have always assisted whenever called
upon by tho company, quite a nice sum
of money was realized. In 1WI3 work of
tho new building wns commenced. Its
dimensions are 30x40 feet. In the base
ment of this there is n lnrge nnd well
equipped kitchen on the same level as
thedrill room. Hero also are the gun, re
tiring, toilet and check rooms. On the
first lloor aro the men's meetiug 'and club
room and tho ollicers' room, each 15x30
feet, Tho former is finished in white
pine, natural colois; the loiter in cherry.
A wide hall and stairway leads to the
drill room, and to several largo rooms on
the second floor.
The building is finished outside with
shingles nnd weatherboards, ind o square
tower extends for some distance above the
roof. A battlemented cornice extends
around the roof, giving the building an
imposing appearance. A flag stall', sixty
feet higli, stands In front, from which
Ul glory" Hoots. The plans of tho
Armory and addition wero mado by Ar
chitect W. D. 11111, of I'ottsville; the
carpenter work was done by a member of
the company, Corporal John M. Shappel ;
the tin work by Peter Griffiths, and the
nrtistlc painting by L. w . cclilessman,
all of Giraulvilie.
Company F now has a home nnd on
nbldlng place of which it con justly feel
proud. The liovs can meet to do their
work as National Guardsmen should, nnd
after their labors, with their fi lends, can
trip the "light fantastic" over as good a
floor as there Is In the county.
