Prof. George C. Pearson was chairman of the meeting and Jacob F. Good, of Mapleville, acted as secretary. The legislative committee met at nine o'clock.

It appointed Wm. Kealhofer and Prof. Pearson to draft an amendment to the present law to provide compensation for the peach commissioners. John Martin, Jr. was chairman of this committee.

The committee on freights made a report through chairman Wm. Kealhofer, who said that in an interview with the officers of the Western Maryland liailroad Company, President Hood could give no assurance of cheaper freight rates until definite arrangements with the fruit-growers. Mr. Hood said that when they promised to ship all their i by freight the company will then consider the subject of cheaper rates. Dr.

E. Tracy Bishop read an amusing and interesting paper on "county pointing out their many defects and generally bad condition. A resolution was passed petitioning the present legislature to enact a road law providing for the establishment of an agricultural bureau to investigate the methods of constructing roads; a skilled engineer to be appointed for each county to superintend the opening, construction and repairing- of all roads in the state; each county to pay for its own repairs; all criminals, (excepting murderers), be employed in the construction and repair of roads, together with vagabonds and the available among the idiotic and insane; that terms for minor offences be lengthened. Prof. W.

A. Taylor, of the department of pomology, of Washington, spoke on "Peach growing in Michigan; hardy varieties," etc. Michigan, he said, has a peach growing territory of 200 miles along Lake Michigan. The reason land lying' along water is better adopted for peach raising purposes is i to the modifying influences of the water. Trees are planted in Michigan in the spring in rows 15 by 20 feet.

The yellows exist in southern Michigan, titrate soda is a good preventive for the disease called "curled leaf." Michigan growers head their trees from 18 inches to 4 feet. Growers realize in Chicago and Milwaukee markets an average of $1.05 per bushel--commission 10 per cent. Carbolic soap is used in Michigan, as a wash to destroy eggs of borers. Removal of trees diseased by yellows by law requires the grower to pay the expense. I I A I The afternoon session of the all day peach growers' meeting in Hose Opera Hull Saturday was largely attended upon the part of the growers in the county, and a number of ladies.

The meeting was called to order by President Pearson at 1:15. The first on the program was music by Rev. Sidney K. Bateman, A S. and Prof.

Hoover. The piece was entitled. "Old Mother Hubbard." Prof. Hoover presided at the piano. "Food composition and adulteration" was then spoken upon by Prof.

H. J. Patterson, State chemist, at the Maryland Experimental station. The Professor said that the art of was first discovered by an accident, relating the story of Chas. Lamb, about the child who touched the pig and i its fingers in its mouth was delighted with the taste, i his elders of the pleasant sensation.

The Professor proceeded to discuss the matter from a scientific view, lie spoke of the necessity of using pure water in a household; the waters that should be avoided in using are those from organic matter, of when any obnoxious smell arises. The tests for pure water, the Professor stated, were offensive oder in boiling, microscopic a i a i and the placing in it of potassium permaiiginate. He illustrated his points by the use of drugs, changing the color, throwing olT offensive matter, etc. Bread contains nearly all the elements of i i In converting wheat to Hour the outside coating is taken otT and destroyed so that objectionable absorpsioiis i might have taken place from the soil, are done away with. He took up butter, and explained the obnoxious elements that it is likely to contain.

The subject of meat and the process of cooking it, was taken up, after which vegetables were considered, the elements of i i they contain, what it is desired to retain and prevent in cooking them, etc. The Professor advised that housewives desist from i vinegar over their pickles in copper kettles to give them a greenish color. He said it was like feeding persons verdigris. The vinegar eats or absorbs the metal from the sides of the kettle and imparts it to the pickle. Coffee should never be subjected to long boiling, only boil for a short time under any circumstances.

Coffee essence is a great fraud and eou- taiiis very little of the elements, the genuine grain. Tea, i lye and vinegar, will make a blue solution, showing the adulteration of the former. The Professor's experiments were highly interesting and instructive. A collection being about to bo taken up, President Henry E. Alvord, of the Maryland Agricultural College, arose and offered to defray the expenses of the meeting out of the College fund.

The offer was accepted with the hearty thanks of the growers. Prof. Alvord then began to speak 011 the subjec, "The advantages of a knowledge of the natural sciences and their practical application." He said it was the lirst time he had the privilege of facing the farmers of this county since the last time he attended the fair here. He spoke of the necessity of every man having an education and a knowledge of the profession he had embraced. A scientific education is necessary to a man, or at least greatly beneficial to The word science is greatly abused.

There seems to prevail a prejudice against anything scientific. The word science means nothing more thantho truthot things. It means getting the advantage of what is known on the subject, the whole collected into one mass. Science is therefore applicable to farming as well as any other occupation. He spoke of the necessity of estab- lishing institutions for the purpose of experimenting in farming, recording the result of experiments and adding to the science of agriculture.

They are places -where inquiries are made, where fields are entered which have been but lightly touched upon and new knowledge is obtained on various subjects. Investigation should always go in advance of natural science is divided into three parts: the inorganic objects, things without life; geology and min- erology are branches of this division; soils and minerals are parts of this branch of the science; this is one of the branches, however, which has been neglected more than ony of the others. We do not know why it is that lime when put on certain soils will make it heavier or lighter as the case may be, more tenacious, etc. This has not been satisfactorilv demonstrated as yet. He told of a soil in Southern Maryland that contained more clay than any other they had seen in the state and through which water would go as through a sive.

The second division is the vegetable kingdom--which embraces the science of botany. He spoke of the diseases of plants and trees, epidemic, constitutional, and said that there are men who travel over the country and make the cure of these diseases their profession. He said that while they may have discovered a remedy for many diseases the peach yellows is one of which they know but littld as yet. The last division of the science, that of the animal kingdom, was lastly taken up. He thought that every farmer should know how to treat their beasts and animals in case of injury, accident, etc.

The science of insects is included under this head. He told how little parasites were cultivated in Kansas in order to kill off destructive bugs in vegetables, etc. This came from a study of the insects, etc. He spoke of the practical knowledge necessary in order to best and most accurately construct and make the ordinary appliances, implements, etc. He said it would be a good thing for the farmer to have a knowledge of civil engineering, the strength of wood, stone arid metal, of the construction of roads, especially in Maryland, etc.

Prof. Alvord then told of the advantages offered the student, the farmer's sons, at the Experimental station--giving him a knowledge of farming, the soil, English, literary, etc. No charge is made for the use of the buildings, the only expense being the actual living expenses of the student. The question box was then opened. WITH AN KL.EYATOK.

The Ca1le lireuks and Frank Mi-Coy Fulls Over to tlie Cellar. What might have resulted in a frightful accident occurred at the wholesale confectionery establishment of George L. Winter, on East Antie- aiu street, nearly opposite the B. O. R.

li. depot, about one o'clock last Friday afternoon. Frank McCoy, a candy maker, who kept store on South Potomac street, having bought out Mr. Samuel Detrow until recently when he started in Mr. Winter's employ, started to go to the second story of the building in the elevator, which was thought to be in a substantial, safe condition.

He had reached the floor and was about to step off, when the elevator, with the man on it fell, with a terrific crash, landing in the cellar bo- low, a distance of over 20 feet. The cable had snapped. It was of wire and was thought to be strong. Mr. Henry Winter, who was in the building, called for help from Stouffer Darner's yards.

Strong and gentle hands carefully picked the man up and laid him 011 some bags in the store room. He had a deep cut on the back part of his head and his lip was also cut. l)rs. Reagan and Mason were soon summoned and upon examination there were no limbs bro- though the man must have been hurt internally, or very much shaken up. Mr.

McCoy soon became unconscious and he scarcely seemed to be breathing. He lay in this unconscious state for nearly two hours, when he gradually gained consciousness, and about 2:30 was able to sit up. Only a few days ago a barrel of Hour was taken up in the elevator safely. The injured man was convoyed to his rooms, over Eshleman's store, on North Potomac street, where he is resting quietly. Mr.

McCoy is a married man and came here from Funks town. Orplians' Court. Alexander Neill, guardian to Mary E. Waltemyer settled 2d and final account. Last will and testament of Lav-inn Eader, admitted to probate.

B. Loose, the horse shied at a wagon in the road, and went down a bank twelve feet high. The buggy was badly broken, and the horse bruised, but Mr. and Mrs. Beckley were not hurt.

The case will take some time yet. A majority of the witnesses examined yesterday were among the oldest residents of the district, if not the county, ranging from 80 years downward, Their testimony was required because of their presumed knowledge of the location, condition of the road alleged to be obstructed by "the famous hog pen," as it was in 1830, when the deed etc, was made. The case excites a great deal of interest, the Court House being well filled all day yesterday. Misses Carrie Barrand Rose Fahrney, graduates of Wolf's Business College, are engaged in taking down the testimony ill short hand. Court reassembled Friday morning with Judge Hoffman on the bench.

The deceased was most highly esteemed and it was said that the relatives, friends and neighbors gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to her memory, formed one of the largest funeral assemblages which had ever convened at the place of burial. The family name of the deceased and she was the last one remaining of a family of nine: her brother, Philip R.

Doub, of precious memory preceding her but a few months to the spirit world. Thus, one by one they have gone to join each other over in that silent land where homes and families "ne're break up and naught remains but the fond and sweet memory of their humble faith and earnest true love. Gathered by the angels of God, the body has been laid to rest until last trump of Christ shall call them from the silent tomb. J. Jn.

8. AN OIL CAN EXPLODES. Dietrich Badly Burned While Attempting to Light a Fire. Mr. Louis Dietrich, living on Frederick street, met -with a serious accident yesterday afternoon.

Mr. Dietrich was about to make fire in a kitchen stove, and not knowing that there -were still some hot coals in the bottom, he began to pour coal oil on some wood, which he had placed therein, from a can. The coal oil at once took fire and burning in the opening in the can, it exploded, breaking all tne window panes in the room and setting fire to Mr. Dietrich's clothes. The unfortunate man had thepresence of mind not to run into the open air, and he rolled on the floor tearing his clothes from his body.

He was, ever, very seriously burned. His body from the waist down, and both hands and legs were burned, his hands very badly so. The flames reached his face and singed his hair. In the meantime the room had taken fire and the furniture and carpet were in a blaze. Mrs.

Carr, living near the house, saw the flames from the house and told her husband who ran to the door finding it locked. The door was broken open and the fire quickly extinguished before much headway had been made. Dr. Stouffer was summoned and afterward Dr. Scott arrived, doing all in their power to alleviate the sufferings and pain of their patient.
