Imprisonment In 1 H!i I of Wllhiim llnirctt
for the murder of Jnmc Knrrar In Wes
ton, Mass., Is reported. While llnrrntt led
tho life of n rrlmliinl In Huston his wife,
It Id snld, was Ignorant that he was ft
burglar, mid, supposing hltn to be emms;
el in business there, lived In till t! t t,
with luxurious surrmindlnns. For nearly
three yenrs flhe lived In tho second story
of the apartment bulbllns; at JJ r :t West
Fifty-eighth it rent. It win the mint ex
pensively furnished 11 lit In the house mid
from the st a' I pon which Mrs. Hnrrett
lived It Wns p.".! thnt she hud no fenr of
the source, of her Income falling.
Mm. llnrretls wan n fine horsewoman
and kept two thoroughbreds for riding
purpose nt Dnrlnnd'a Hiding neademy.
Kach day n gnmm brought ono of them to
the house In Fifty-eighth street, mid Mr.
Harrett, In perfect filling riding costume,
wan accustomed to canter through the
park. I, lk.n herself, her only sun, who liv
ed with her, was always dressed In the
height of f.'i' li Ion.
It was rarely thnt Harrett himself was
seen, and In reply to in(iilrlcfl his wife is
reputed to have said that he was In busi
ness In Hoston. Cheeks for the rent, sinn
ed by the husband, were punctually for
warded to the landlord of the apartments
and consequently not tho slightest whis
per of doubt as to the Integrity of Harrett
or his wile was ever heard. It Is asserted
that Mrs. J turret t had not an Inkling of
tho real facts that her husband was one of
the most remarkable burglars at largn,
and one who had succeeded in hoodwink
ing the police for upward of 21) yenrs. It
was not until nfler llnrrctt's arrest for
Mr. Karrar's murder that her eyes were
opened to the truth. A man named .Tallies
8. Chaffer, whom Harrett has accused of
being an accomplice of Ills, Is the reputed
medium through which her dream was
shattered.
ChalTcy, after an Interview with Har
rett In Walihani prison, cnmo to New
York, saw Mrs. Harrutt and exposed her
husband's true character. Hnrrett for
nearly SO years had lived nlono In rooms
at S3 Kllot street, Huston. During those,
years, It Is alleged, he stole about :,OH,(io
worth of valuables and goods and always
managed to conceal the dual nature of
his life from his wifo's knowledge.
Visits Her Husband In Jill.
Visiting her husband In Wallliam jail,
Mrs. Harrett heard his confession, and
then, womanlike, determined to help him
In his plight to tho extent of her power,
tihe sold her horses, furniture and jewel
ry and applied tho proceeds to Harrett's
defense. Monnwhllo she aocepted the hos
pitality of t'hnlToy's family anil lived
with them for a time; then, it Is asserted,
ChalTcy availed himself of theopportunlty
to rob the woman of all she possessed and
to appropriate for himself tho valuable
plunder which her husband had gathered
together and stored away. Hy means of
the combination, which he learned from
Mrs. Harrett. Chaffoy Is alleged to have
looted the burglar's safe before, tho police
found Harrett's hiding place In Huston,
and then, by specious devices, obtained
from the woman warehouse recelpls for
goods stored by her husliand In this city.
In this way he Is reported to have obtain
ed possession of a valuable oolloctlon of
stolen property stored In the Lincoln safe
deposit vaults at II H Kast Forty second
street and at O'Reilly's storage warehouse
at 1211 East Forty-second street.
Mrs. Harrett supposed that all these
things had been stored In the regular
routine of her husband's business. The
receipts were given to her to tako care of
merely, and she says she was Ignorant of
the value of the goods. Tho value of the
property Chafloy thus acquired might
never have lieooiue known but for the rea
son that while endeavoring tn dispose of
some rare stamps to Mr. Trlfet at 110
Uroomileld street, Boston, they wero roo
ognized as stolen property, and he was
then arrested. Chaffey, In reply tn ques
tioning, said they were given to him by
Harrett. Afterward trunks were discover
ed In ChatToy's possession filled with jew
elry and other oostly things to the Tit' tie
of about :10,000. They w taken to the
police station, and In the Inst few days
many prominent residents of Huston have
lilentllled some of the articles as having
boon stolen from their housos.
Chnffey was formally charged on Mon
day last with burglary and receiving sto
len property. Harrett, when seen In prison
yesterday by a reiiorter, accused ChalTcy
of baying stolen most of the things found
by the police, but added that ChalTey had
also used underhand methods to obtain
things which belonged to him (Harrett)
without having given a ponny to his wife
for her support.
Mrs. Harrett Is now reported to be In
this elty, trying to earn her living nnd
taking good oare to keep her Identity hid
den. Probably Killed Ilia Wife,
Chester, Pa., Nov. 14. The body of
Mrs. Edward Uoyle was found on the lloor
of her borne, nnd her husband is looked
up awaiting the Investigation of tho coro
ner. The position of the body, the brulies
upon the breast, side of the face and on
the hands bear out tho supposition of
murdor. The dross of the woman was
torn and twisted, Indicating that thero
had been a struggle. Ijiter Hoyle was
found on the street in an Intoxicated con
dition.

s-rlalitfttl Resnlts of a Mntnrmnn's Care
Irssness An JCteptrle Car Hashes Into
an Open Draw, Ititrylns; Its Passenger
In the River a Hundred Feet Below.
ClKVEiAati, Nov. is. A heavy olectrio
motor enr containing nlmut 1:0 passengers
went through the tlraw of the Central
viaduct nt 7 :45 o'clock last evening and
dropped 101 foot to tho river below, carry
ing Its occupants to Instant nnd fearful
t'enth. It Is a horror, the like of which
I as never occurred here before.
The Central v I. 'id net is a huge stilt
I ridge ,li(iii feet long nnd modo of Iron.
It connects the heights and the prosperous
'sidenco section on tho south side with
lie business center of the city. Directly
over Hie river Is a tlrawbrldgeof the pivot
swinging pattern, nnd this Is 101 feet
nlinve Ihcsiirbiro of lliowater. The South
Side Street railway pas-esover the bridge,
ami on cither side of the draw there is a
afety switch, which, unless tho conductor
iilights nnd holds up a handle, will send a
tar Into I he gutter Instead of allowing it
to go on the tliaw.
As Is the rule, the car stopped, and the
rnndiictor went forward to release the
switch in cine the way was clear.
He niuet have been blinded by the cleo-
trtc lights, for nncTewllnoss declares that
although the gates were closed nnd the
drnw wns already In motion I lie conduct
or rnised the switch handle. Tho motor-
tnnn applied the current, and the car shot
forward nnd struck the gates with a orash.
Ilmm the Frlghtfnl Abyss.
There wns only a moment's pause, and
then the heavy car ground Its way through
the wreckage and plunged over the brink
into tile bbick abyss amid the screams
and frantic struggles of tho passengers,
who at the first Intimation of dnnger
rushed for tho rear door. The car struck
I ho water with a great splash, and then
there was sllenco.
As the car went over the brink of the
abyss tho motorman jumped from the
vesillutlcd front. Ho (ell upon tho abut
ment of the bridge, his skull being crtish-
d by tho fall. All the other oeoupants of
the ear, with iho exception of tho few
ho hud mnnncd to jump ns It toppled
over, went down to certain donth. 1 ne
enr disappeared from sight ns soon as ft
struck the wntcr, and every ono of tho
passengers was drnwnod.
The scenes nluiut the river wnito tno
work of rescue was being prosecuted were
pnthetlo In tho extreme. Tho thousands
of people who hnd assembled waited with
bitted brent h for tho discovery of bodies.
It whs a sod crowd, nnd out of respect for
the unfortunate dend but very little noiso
wnB niado. Occasionally the wild scream
of some frantic woman who believed some
one dear to her was among the tinfortu
nnte ones would echo ovor the Hats, only
to be taken up at a distance by sotno oth-
r woman whoso heart was breaking over
her loss. It was almost impossible to get
to the river. Patrol wagons dushed this
wny nnd that, their bells clanging, add
ing to tho din nnd oonfttslon. Ambu
lances dashed up to t lie scene, only to
turn nnd drive away again, carrying the
remains of other unfortunates.
It was almost Impossible to work with
any system. The crowd pushed Its wny ns
near tho scone as possible, nnd the efforts
of tho large force of polloe to maintain or
der wore almost In vain. It was with groat
difficulty that it body when recovered was
tnken to one of the dend wagons.

The Motorman's Statement.
August Rogers, the motorman, Is de
tained at the Central police station, t hough
he is now held only as a witness before
the coroner.
It wns my second trip," he said. "Just
after leaving the market house I looked
Into the car, and from what 1 can remem
ber there were alxuit SO or 25 passengers.
They were mostly women and children, I
think. When my motor reached the switch
nt the approach of the draw In the Tin
duct, I shut off my ourrent and applied
the brnke. The ear came to a full stop,
and tho conductor ran ahead and threw
the switch.
'He motioned me ahead with a wave
of his arm. 1 put my lever at tho first
notch, and as 1 passed the onnduotor, who
always stands at the switch lever until
the car has passed, was running at the
rate of possibly four miles an hour. I
looked Iwck, as I always do, and saw him
get on the rear plntform. Looking hltoad.
I
thought I saw the gntes at the draw
oloscd over the track, but as my lights
wore burning nnd I had current the
thought occurred to me that my eyes
must have been at fault. I was just In
the aot of giving, and possibly gave, tha
lever a slight punh forward, when 1 viaa
startled by the gates jnBt in front of me,
and 1 heard some one yell, 'Jump!' J do
not know whether 1 reversed the ourrent
or not, for 1 realized the danger and jump
ed from the vestibule.
As I leaped I thought that I would
plunge headlong down and Into the rh sr.
but as the car struck the gate I fell on It
and caught tho Iron frame and saved my
self. The car went down with an awful
orash, but I never heard a murmur or
anything that resembled a scream."

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Practical Fxamplrs nf the Advantage of
Having Many Things to Sell.
Tho tendency In funning for a Bom
ber of yearn hns boon toward npeolnltipg
lather than n diversity of crops of farm
products. If tlm farmer lived In a grain
, rowing section, every effort wns ranrto
to produce moro nnd inoro grain. If, m
the other hand, dairying was followed,
no "tone was left nntnrncd to keep more
rows. Whatever may hnvo been the wis
dom of this policy in the past, it Is a
qncstion worthy of onr onrcfnl considor
ntiim at present whether nr not we
should further continue! it. With a view
to illnstrnting tlio ndvunliiRC of linving
a little of cveiylliing to st 11 instead of
depending solely on nun thing a corre
spondent of (.'onntry Uentlcnum given a
In-Hcticiil cxniiipln of whut ho once saw
done. Ho writes:
A fanner of my onvlv ncqnnintnnoe
kept n herd of cows, mid lis tho enstom
wan in those tlnys miido most of his
bnttor in tlio sninmor, which lie held
till November nnd sold fur whatever
price it brought. During tho summer
in rm t lis . whenever ho wont to town to
do any trading, he did not go nnd rnn a
bill nt tho stores, to be settled "when
(lie butter wns sold," but nhvnys tool:
something front the farm. In the spring,
during lniiiccclciiniiig time, ho wnnld
have nlioard a number of bnndles of
straw for filliiift beds. Selling these for
tli f h pnrposn, his straw brought fonr or
five times (is mnch ns it would sell for
by tho ton. A well cured for flock of
ponltry furnished ogp,s in exchange for
the family gnieerioH. A few early vege
tables or frnits were always selected iu
their Reason A few conls of wood were
prepared in wilder, neatly piled, nud
win n ho was going (never on pnrpose),
he took n loud to pay his blttcksiuith's
bill. Hy this menus ho had his butter
money to depend upon to pay on his
debt in tlio fall.
I was greatly interested in the meth
ods employed by the Oorinnu families
who cx-enpy it gicut shine of the dairy
f:n ins in tho vicinity of Elgin, Ills.
These tenants pay mure rent forthebnre
farm than one will rent for in New
York stale with n full lino of stock nnd
tools. I said to n (-termini farmer whom
I met, " Yon nil seem to prosper here;
will yon inform uie how yon do it?
"Well, we milk 40 cows, and thero
ore myself and wife and eight children.
Tho women and children tend the plat
cif cucumbers and pick them. We men
take care of the cows and furra crops.
We put in two or three acres of encum
bers, and they are sold at the canning
factories, nnd wife nnd children get
enough from them to pay nil onr living
expenses, so wo have all the profits
from onr milk to pay rent nud luy by
to bny a farm in a few years.
We cuimot raise, cnonmbers on inch
an extensive scale, bnt one who has not
tried it will be snrpriscd at the income
from 25 hills of encumbers well cared
for nnd kept closely picked. Ten dollars'
worth of cubbnge can bo grown on a
very small space. I have heard a friend
tell of his little girls picking and sell
ing over t40 worth of strnwberries on a
very small space. If I remember cor
rectly, the pint was one rod wide and
five rods long. Apples may be fed to
cows in the fall with great profit.
consider sweet apples, say of the "pound
sweet" variety, nearly as valuable as
potatoes for either mil!: cows or for
fattening any kind of stock. I believe if
every farmer had enonRh of this variety
of apples to feed his cows a peck apiece
every day they wonld prove more vain
able than grain in keeping up the milk
flow. Of eonitfo tipples ean be so fed as
to become an injury. Iu connection
with dairying the potato oiop is one of
great importance. There are few yenrs
iu which nt some time between digging
and planting time potatoes will not
bring fit) cents At this price they are a
paying crop, and nre worth this to feed
oows iu winter. I know this will astou
IkIi many, bnt, as in other things, there
is a right wuy and a wrong way of do
ing it. Suppose cows are receiving an
average of ten pounds of grain a day, if
two duys oach week ten pounds of cut
potatoes aro substituted for the usual
grain feed there will be no decrease In
Quantity of milk or bntter; in fact
oows will keep in better thrift for this
semiweekly change of diet.
In choosing what we will Bell from
the farm thought should be given to the
amount of fertility we are removing
from the farm. A very small piece of
ground will fnrnisli U0 worth of cu
cumbers, and the fertility removed will
be simply nothing compared with that
soutaiiied in a ton of hay, which will
only sell for $10
Protecting Farm Machinery.
A Vermont farmer tells in The Kew
England Homestead how he protects his
fuiin implements with straw. He says:
I fonnd my hay loader mnch in the
wny iu the burn, and as I don't like to
take machines opart to store them, I
took it to the orchard, raised it from the
gronud, braced it so that none of the
parts would besIVaiiied, and completely
covered it with a pile of straw. This
prevented tiny injury from the weatbei,
and it was a very cheap way of shelter
iug the louder. It took less t ime to covet
it with a small straw stuck than to take
It ap:rt. Binders and other implements
I light be treated in the same way.
An I torn la Irrigation.
It is claimed by some that water
should not come iu direct contact with
the base of the tree. E. S. Richman of
tiioUtuli station is not certain, however,
that water will damage the base of the
trees, but direct contact can be avoided
by throwing dirt urouud the bases of the
trees. Many oruuge groves are irrigated
in California without any protection for
the trees, nnd there uppeurs to be do in
jury resulting from the practice.
MANURES AND FERTILIZERS.
RmoIU of ExiMtrtincuU Codaetd For
nU Vttn at the Mew UamiMhlre Httlow
C. H. Whiu her, iu a report ou ma
nures and artificial fertilizers, gives a
mmmurr nf rpsnllH obtained while the
New Humpuhire station was located at
Hanover, with the addition of data se-
cured at Durham Subjects reported on
are spring and full applications of barn
yard manure; how to apply manure;
how much manure to iu; labatalea
for barnyard maiinre; relative efficiency
of chemicals and barnyard mnnnrej
tomparison of mnnnfnctnrltig fertill
rers, chemicals and others and directions
for mixing and using fertilizers. From
the result of all experiments the follow
ing conclusions nre drawn :
Mnnnre applied In the fall to the snr-
faoe, either of plowed or grass land,
will, by the notion of frost and rnin, be
come so thoroughly pulverised nnd dis
tributed ftirough the soil that It nets
moro quickly and Is in better condition
for plants to nssimilnto tlmn the same
mnnnre would be if applied in the
spring. The loss from evaporation and
drainage (unless the surface is very
steep) will probnbly be much less than
tho loss resulting from fermentation if
the ninnuro is allowed to accumnlate
in collars or the washing if left iu opeu
yards.
On most soils and for most crops sur
face application is better than plowing
Iu, and especially if manure is applied
iu tho fall, but iu any case, except for
manure that is so coarse that it cannot
be mixed with the soil by cultivation,
it is a safe rule to keep the mnnnre as
near the surface as possible and to have
it as thoroughly mixed with the seed
bed ns can bn done. This carries with
it tho necessity of using only snch bed
ding and absot bents as are of themselves
fine or easily pnlveriwd.
For onr common field crops -corn,
oats, rye, parley, potatoes, etc. it is
not profitable to use more than from IS
to 20 cartloads (S to 7 cords) of manure
per acre.
On nn average, on New Hampshire
soils and with general crops, f 1 invert
ed in the best, prepared fertilizers has
given an increase of crop v.laed at
$2.84, while $1 invested in the chem
icals (dissolved boneblack, muriate of
potash, and sulphate of ammonia ) has
given an increase valued at $!).56, a
difference of $1.23 in favor of, and duo
entirely to, the substitution of chemic
als for prepared fertiliters at equal cost.
This difference is due chiefly to tho
wrong proportions of plant food iu the
prepared fertilizers, and more tothe de
ficiency of potash than any other canne.
Prepared fertilizer used gave: Phos
phorio acid, 12 percent; potash, 8 per
cent ; nitrogen, 3 per cent.
While the chemicals thnt gave the
best results contained: Phosphoric acid,
8.6 per cent; potnsh, 14.(1 per cent; ni
trogeu, 2.4 per cent.
Chemicals properly mixed and used
can and do give as good returns as barn
yard manure and oftentimes better, and
this in a six years' rotation. Leached
itihos gave better results per dollar in
vested thuu whole ashes.
Bottling Cider.
Cider may be bottled after the vinous
farmcu ration ia ended, bnt pieferably
after six or eight weokfl' ripening of the
liqnor. It may be bottled an "HtiH1 or
"sparkling' cider. In the former case
it is "pasteurized. M The oidr is first
filtered through flannel, then bottled
and placed in a vessel of wntor. which is
heated to not less than 140 degrees nor
more than 100 degrees, kept so about 15
minutes, then allowed gradually to cool
and the bottles luid away on their sides.
For Bparkliug cider there is added rock
candy or refined sugar four ounces per
gallon to cider not pasteurized, but suf
ficiently' ripened. After corking nnd
wiring it should be placed in a cellar
of cool, even temperature.
Varletiri of Celry.
Celery, to be good, has to be perfect
ly blanched, and the blanching process
is accomplished generally by heaping
the earth around the stalks. For this
reason, according to Meehan's Monthly,
tho abort bunchy varieties of celery are
more advantageous than the taller grow
ing kinds, as requiring loss labor in
eurthing up. It is chiefly for this reason
that the thick dwarf kinds are iu favor
with American gardeners, as requiring
less labor to produce. Some of these,
however, are not nearly as toothsome as
the taller varieties, and the efforts of
the improver should be toward produc
ing sweet nutty flavored varieties of the
dwarfer kinds.
Ftwdlnff ftorgihom.
No one seems to know what the prin
ciple is in green second growth sorghum
that iu a very few minutes kills cattle
cut ing it. It is for practical purposes
sufficient to know that it does kill in
many instances, yet in others it has no
visibly bad effect. The same applies to
groeu secoud growth Kaffir corn, which
is a nonsacchurine sorghum, but when
either is oared there is no more danger
in it than in any other fodder or hay.
Kaffir corn is a very popular crop for both
grain and forage among those who kuow
it best. Prairie Farmer.

"(letting out from Fort. Apaeho wo had
to cross n range of mountains. H was my
purpose to make the summit of tlio range
Iho first tiny out. Wo wero making slow
work, however, of our push up tho moun
tain. Tho trail was narrow nnd hnd, after
the fashion of mountain trails. Then,
again, when wo got well along up tho as
cent, the snows been mo deeper, fairly tip
to the wagon beds, In fact. As a rosult we
were making n snail's journey of It.
' I was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
and we still had a long, bad pull before us
to make tho summit. Trouble broko out
up nt the lead wagon; strained nn axle or
nomething. The train came to ft halt, and
I got out of my ambulance, which was in
the rear, and wont forward to aid In put'

again started.
"I walked leisurely hack to my ambu
lance as tho three wagons and tho escort
went on. As I camo up I told the driver
to bold up bis mules whilo I lighted my
pipe. I got my tobacco bag out of my am
bulance and filled up, seating myself
meanwhile at the foot of a pine tree.
''I took my tlnio about It, nnd pending
the filling and frighting of my pipe, tho
three wagons nnd tho escort turned n cor

Ivlter close upwlth my people; that thero
i was danger in falling behind even this
slight distance.
"I had just started up to get Into tho

others when n slight noise below us on tho

over the road, nnd there, not fiO yards
away, were coming somo ID Apnches.
