GRAPE CROP RUINED
Chautauqua Belt Vineyards
a Blackened Waste.
Loss Estimated at Between $1,500,-
000 and sl2,ooo,ooo—The Crop
Would llavc Been Bigger This
Year Than Last—Some Growers
Returning to Old Stylo Farming.
Dunkirk, N. Y., May 14.—Frost has
ruined the entire grape crop of the Chau
tauqua grape belt. The loss is at least
one and one-hulf million dollars. That
figure wus the value of last year's crop,
and by reason of new acreuge coming
into bearing the crop this year would
have been much larger. The Chautau
qua grape belt extends through Erie
county, westward to Erie. It occupies
a strip from five to eight miles in width
along the southern shores of Lake Eric.
115,000 Acres of Blnckcuicd Ruins.
The number of acres bearing grapes
last year was 20,000. Tills your 85,000
acres would have been bearing. The
vines were loaded down with blossom
buds Sunday and to-day from one end of
tho bolt to the other the vinoyards are
nothing but blackeued ruins and have
the appearance of having been visited
by fire. Three thousand six hundred
freight curs were loaded from the belt
last season. The total number of baskets
reached 10,800,000. To this number
3,000,000 might safely bo added for in
creased acreage this year.
Everything Destroyed.
Here at Dunkirk tho thermometer fell
to 25 degrees. Every vino is destroyed.
Silver Creek last year shipped 2,200 cars.
This place is remarkably well sheltered.
Everything is destroyed. At Forestvillo
every farmer has planted every available
acre to grapes, and the frost last night
ruined every vine. Other fruit suffered
nearly as much. There will be no cher
ries. At Ripley last year they shipped
400 cars. This year it will not have
one basket of grapos. The grapo grow
ers are demoralized and do not know
what they will do. The thermometer
fell to 4 degrees below freezing.
Will Return to Old Style Farming.
At Westfleld the vines arc entirely cut
down. Some growers will plow up
their vineyards and return to the old
style of general farming. Brockton,
generally known as the centre of the
Chautauqua grape belt, is in mourning
to-day. Nothing is raised there but
grapes, aud the frost last night cut them
all down. Gerry Hickman, tho million
aire grapo growor and wine manufac
turer, says the loss in tho bolt by reason
of tho destruction done to the grape will
reach at least $2,000,000. His own loss
he estimates at $250,000. At Fredouin
nothing of the grape crop can be saved.
Had fire gono through tho vinoyards it
could not have been more thorough in
its effects.

ECKLEYB. COXE'S DEATH.
(Continued from Puge 1.)
A m boy.
Mr. Coxe, though always interested in
politics, first came Into prominence dur
ing the sessions of the legislature of
1881. He had been elected as a senator
on the Democratic ticket from this dis
trict, but when the legislature met in
January, 1881, he declined from consci
entious motives to take the oath of
oflice, alleging as a reason that he was
not sure that all the monoy furnished
by him for exponses in the campaign
was not in strict accordance with the
constitution's requirements. He de
clared, however, that his expenses were
perfectly honorable in evory way. Mr.
Coxe at once resigned and was promptly
renominated by his party. On Febru
ary 15, following, he was re-elected at
a special election, receiving a majority
of 3,874 without Ixiving expended a
dollar. He took an active part in legis
lative affairs at that session, and to him
is due much of the credit of having the
night school bill passed. He also took a
prominent part in investigating the
abuses connected with the soldiers' or
phan schools of the state.
In the Democratic state convention of
1882 his name was prosented during a
few ballots for the nomination of gov
ernor and ho was urged to make a con
test for the honor. Mr. Coxe had pre
viously stated in private that he favored
the nomination of Mr. Pattison, and he
only permitted his name to remain be
fore the convention until the vote given
him, added to that for Mr. Pattison,
could nominate the latter. Then ho
withdrew as a candidate, and subse
quently worked earnestly for the elec
tion of Governor Pattison, as he always
did for Democratic state and county
candidates.
Last year ho was appointed as a mein
bor of tho geograpical survey commis
sion by Governor Pattisbn to succeed
tho late Ario Pardee. He was also In
terested in forestry affairs and advocat
ed better protection of the trees and
woods of the state.
Mr. Coxc was well-known throughout
tho United States for his practical and
scientific knowledge of mining. lie fre
quently lectured on scientific subjects,
and in 1872 he published a translation
of Weisbash's "Mechanics of Engineer
ing and Construction of Machines." No
one understood tho scientific application
of mining and protecting the under
ground world better than Mr. Coxo. He
was a member of the Franklin Institute,
the Academy of Natural Science, the
Merchants' Driving Club, all of Phila
delphia, and from 1878 to 1880 he was
president of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers, and was an active
member both of the Institute and
Mechanical Engineers and of the Ameri
can Society of Coal Engineers, being a
vice president of tho former. lie was a
director of tho Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad and was a staunch friend
of tho late Franklin 11. Gowen, and was
a director of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey.
lie married Miss Sophia Fisher, daugh
ter of Judge Fisher, of Philadelphia, in
1858. There are no children. His
wealth is not known, but is estimated at
some amount between 820,000,000 and
830,000,000. For many years past Mr.
Coxc has resided in a comfortable resi
dence at Drifton, almost within the
shadow of tho great iron breaker which
stands as a monument to his genius,
evolved, as it was, from plans of his own
conception. Close to his home are the
shops in which all the work for tho sev
eral collieries is done and whero the
manufacture of his wonderful Inven
tion, the traveling grate, is carried on.
By living at Drifton ho kept himself
informed as to the exact condition of
everything about his immense business,
and near to the home of tho miners and
other workors in his employ, for these
felt his care and continual interest in
their welfare. In Drifton he built a
model coal town, the equal of which Is
hard to find.
Mr. Coxo's systematic methods, great
force of character and perfect efficioncy
in carrying on tho coal trade and min
ing, Ills kind and pleasant relations with
all in ills employ and personal concern
In the many little affairs of life that per
sons In his position usually consider be
neath them, are some of the qualities
which made him deserved popular and
a favorite with ordinary peoplo. He
was held in high regard by the thous
ands of men in his employ, and this cor
dial relation led to a confidence and
friendship which softened tho bitterness
that Is frequently found existing be
tween employers and employes.
In his business relation with working
men he paid them no more than other
operators, their work was no casior and
they wore subject to as stringent rules
as are generally found about the mines,
but back of ail this was the knowledge
of tho men that whatevftr might over
take them while In his employ they
would bo proporly cared for, their wives
and children would not be neglected
and an eviction of tho widows, the or
phans, or tho aged and feeble, a com
mon crime in some mining villages,
would not occur in any of the towns
controlled by tho Coxo's.

A Matter of Experience,
Teacher—l hope that none of my
dear pupils will over bo guilty of try
ing to kill a sparrow, for you must re
member, my children, that although
the sparrows are sometimes rather
troublesome they do a great deal of
good for this country by destroying tho
worms, and if wo did not have those
little birds, tho naughty worms would
eat up our vegetables and our trees and
wo would have no way of getting rid of
them. Now tell mo, Johnny, don't you
think it is better to have tho sparrows
than the worms?
Johnny (who did not hear what was
being said until his name was suddenly
called) —Please, ma'am, I don't know,
because—because—
Teacher (reassuringly)— Because why,
Johnny?
, Johnny—Because, ma'am, I've never
had the sparrow A—Truth,
TIED DM THE TRACKS
A Blindfolded Man Rescued
Just in Time.
Bays Ho Was Sandbagged and
I)r Kifcd and Held a Captive Since
April 23—Tortured, Scantily Fed
and Blindfolded All That Time-
Accuses His Wife's Lover.
Chicago, May 18.—What Appears to
be a dastardly crime was discovered last
evening. Shortly after 6 o'clock William
Henry Musch, a mechanic, 40 years old,
was discovered lying across the tracks of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail
road at "North Lcavitt street with his
hands and feet securely tied and a sack
drawn over his head.
Musch was rescued Just in time to pre
vent being killed by an outgoing train.
He was taken to St. Elizabeth hospital,
where he went into convulsions. As
soon as he was able to account for his
condition he told a very strange story.
He claims that since April 28 he has been
held a captive.
On that date, he says, he was going
home when ho was sandbagged and
dragged into a cellar at some place uu
kuovvu to him. Since that time he has
beeu tortured aud scantily fed. Musch
says that all the time he was blindfolded.
He saw light for the first time when he
was rescued from the track last evening.
The police wero at first disinclined to
credit this story, but the statements of
Musch are so connected and well defined
that they are now couvinced that he is
telling the truth, and have arrested a
man by the name of J. Von Rhembow,
whom they believe is at the bottom of
the conspiracy to murder Musch.
Musch claims to bo able to identify
Rhembow by his voice. Ho says that
Rhembow has givou him trouble for sev
eral years, that the man is in love with
his wife, and that he has threatened
more than once to remove him. Rhem
bow, the arrested man, is very reticent
and has nothing to say.

Amherst, Mass., May 18.—Ex-Presi
dent Julius 11. Seelyeof Amherst college
is dead. In the winter of 1885 President
Seelyo suffered from a severe attack of
erysipolas and from that time until his
deuth his health was by no means good.
A disease of the nervous system, due in
a measure to overwork, gradually fixed
itsolf upon him, and despite the best
medical caro that could be provided,
forced him to resign the presidency of
Amherst in June, 1891. The sad dea h
of his oldest daughter, Mrs. J. W. Bix
ler of Now London, Conn., in April,
1894, was a severe blow to him and
probably hastened his own death.
