For several weeks a large force of mechanics have been engaged in co instructing the main buildiDg of the Veterans Home, near Yountville, and, as the work is about finished was fixed as the date for turning it over to the Association under From Thursday Daily. Miss Ada Gardner went to Oakland and Miss Clara McKevitt to San Francisco, this morning, on visits to friends. Lewis Stocldey, a graduate of the Napa Public Schools and a former student of the Collegiate Institute, came up from San Francisco last evening and returned this morning. Ho is now book-keeper for a large sugar firm iu Honolulu, and will return to his duties iu about two weeks. 1 A A option to the Knights.

Pursuant, to call, a citizens meeting was held in the Court House Monday evening for the purpose of taking steps toward extending a cordial welcome to the Knights Templar who will visit this valley next J. F. Lamdin was chosen Chairman of the meeting and J. B. Stevens acted as Secretary.

For the information of those present, Mr. Knapp stated that the Committee having the excuision in charge had consented to stop in this city thirty minutes on their way up the valley, and that they would arrive heie by special train about 11 oclock. They are also to stop about the same length of time at Yountville anJ will be provided with a lunch at St. Helena. Suggestions were offered by different ones present as to what program it was best to adopt, and finally the Chair was instructed to appoint an executive committee of five, whose duty it should be to make all necessary arrangements and appoint the sub-committees required to attend to the various details.

Alter canvassing the subject and finding who would act, President Lamdin this morning selected the following names as being the proper ones to compose that executive committee: Geo. E. Goodman, E.D.Beard, G.M. Francis, J. A.

McClelland and D. M-Stockmon. This committee will meet at the banking house of J. H. Goodman fc at 10 o'clock a.m.

Wednesday, for the purpose of planning a piogram, appointing sub-committees, etc. This accomplished, they will no doubt receive the prompt co-operation of every citizen in the way of money and other contributions, ad vice and encouragement. There is no reason why Napa should not be marked as a bright spot in the memory of every visiting Knight. Nature has done her share, an active and warm heaited hospitality will do the rest. At St.

Helena a meeting has just been held at which a Canvassing Committee of five gentlemen was appointed to thoroughly canvass that portion of the valley for such eatables as can be obtained or in lieu of that to obtain cash subscriptions for the reception there. Each member of the committee was allowed to choose a lady as assistant in this duty. The Reception Committee there is very large and is composed of the following named gentlemen: Messrs. Wade, Krug, Scheffier, Pellet, Lyman, Schram, Beiinger, Thoman, Alstrom, Lewelling, Tonolla, Gluyas, Story, Vann, Davis, AlJyn, Hay, Hunt, Dr. Dawson, Dr Crane, Greer, Crabb, Dbrdau, McCord, Greer, Howard, Dr Pond, Lauder, Lazarus, McGeorge, Hale, Mooney, Brown, Newkirk, Potter, Wheeler.Rampendahl, York, Harris, Ink, Kettlewell, Kroeber, Elgin, Bussenius, Woodward, Townsend, Fountain, Ewer, McEaeh-ran, Ivister, Beach, Riggins, Hopkins, Osborn, Ayers, Lane, Cole, Hey-mann, Alden, Galewsky, Mackinder, Pratt, Mertiam, Clark, Heymann, Hortop, Bell, Baretta Bros, Brun fc Chaix, MclDtjre, Watson, Newcomer, Anglin, Hudson, Dr.

Leach, Duckworth, Taylor, Backus, Tally, Goodman, Cohen, Gillihan, Coutolenc Bros, Rogers, Dr Tabor, Williams, Meacham. The Iteeeption of the (Anights. The Committee appointed to arrange plans for the reception of Knights Templar excursionists in Napa City, next Tuesday, met at the banking house of J. II. Goodman Co.

Wednesday a. m. and agreed upon the character of entertainment to be given. Owing to the short stay allowed the Knights here, it was deemed best to confine the refreshments to a generous supply of all kinds of fruits. These will be placed upon tables in the depot and on the platform, and so arranged that the largest number of people may be served in the shortest possible time.

It is proposed that the depot be decorated with bunting and flags emblematic of the Order of Knights; that guns shall bo fired, music shall be made by the band, and the various steam whistles in town shall blow on the approach of the excursion train; that carriages shall be in readiness at the depot to transport those of the party who may desire a spin around town, and that citizens generally shall constitute themselves a committee to extend a hearty welcome to the visiting Knights and their friends. It is probable that a three-minute address of welcome will introduce the excursionists to our eity. To carry out this program, the following sub-committees were appointed: On Decorations, Music and Arrangement of Tables Biggs, Geo Smith and Henry Hogajn. On Finance 1) Beard, Lamdin and Bustelli. On Fruits A McClelland, A Fisher, Leonard Coates, Char-chill and Mansfield.

Last Saturday an election took place to decide by ballot whether twenty-five hundred dollars or should not be raised by taxation, this sum to be. expended in enlarging the school-house. A great deal of interest was taken in the election all day, and a comparatively large vote was polled. The counting of the ballots showed a result as follows: For tax, 84; agiinst tax, CO; majority for, 24. Mr.

Leonard Coates contributes an article to our contemporary on this subject. He Bays: The simplest, cheapest and most expeditions way of successfully fighting the codlm moth is to catch the moth as it flies at night by hanging small cans, jars, or any wide-monthed vessel iu tho trees, half or three-quarters filled with a mixture of syrnp and vinegar, composed as follows: One part cheap syrup, one part vinegar and three of water, with the addition of water once in a while to supply the quantity evaporated. I have quite recently seen the working of this, ani surely anyone can afford it, especially as nothing has to be done when the can is once in the tree bat to replenish it when dry. I counted from ten to twenty in tin cans that were made specially for this purpose, about six inches in diameter by four inches deep, and which had been in trees but a few days. On small trees one can to each is enough, but on very large apple or pear trees three or four should be used.

Let it be remembered that the moth flies only at night, at which time it lays its eggs. The other method, which is equally sure but much more tedious and expensive, is to tack a piece of cloth (of woolen material properly; burlap is generally used, but wroDgfully) arouDd the tree a few inches from the ground. The worm, or larvae, as it gets full grown eats its way out of the apple or pear and lets itself down to the ground by a thread, when it crawls for the nearest hiding place and turns into the chrysalis or pupa state alter spinning a cocoon. These have to be gone over once a week, as the moth will come out of the chrysalis in about six days. Either the cloth must be removed, or the pupa can be destroyed by a gentle pounding on the outside of it.

At orris Truit drier. A visit to II. F. Norris Truit Drier last Tuesday found that gentleman and his workmen full of work, and bustling about to keep ahead of the fruit which is being brought in for drying. Mr.

Norris got his machines into good working order the middle of last week and since then work has continued steadily, a part of the time all night. This week the drier will probably run day and night without a stop. The day force of workmen consists of three men, three girls and two boys; while the night force is fire men. Four improved Bay State par-ers are in constant operation. The fruit, when pared, is subjected to a bleaching process in the fames of sulphur for from ten to fifteen minutes.

This removes all tho discolorations caused by contact with the metal parers or by exposure to the atmosphere, leaving the fruit clear and white. It is then placed in the drier, the'time required for drying being about two and one half hours. Mr. Norris will ship to San Francisco Thursday about ono-half ton of apples anfl peaches, packed in 23 pound boxes, lined with waxed paper. The fruit that has already been dried is excellent in appearance and taste.

Mr. Norris finds no difficulty in obtaining all the fruit he needs for constant running. Indeed, the supply opens up much larger than he expected. He is prepared to buy all kinds ot fruit at the highest rates. The fuel used for generating heat is pine.

Oak was first tried, but owing to inability to obtain all the good oak needed, Mr. Norris tried pine, aDd finds it more economical and a more uniform degree of heat results from its use. So tar as is able to bo judged at present, the success of fruit driers in this valley is established. The market for the fruit is constantly widening, and the home supply will doubtless continue to grow larger as the demand is made upon it. The ('Irens! It will be here Tuesday, Aug, 28th.

The marvelous wonders of its menagerie, with all the added glories of brass bands, calliopes, gorgeous costumes, red and gold wagons, graceful riders, gay ly-caparison-ed steeds and a thousand and one brillinnt and captivating features will parade the streets, as a prelude to the wonderful exhibition in the tent. The show advertises a wonderful catalogue of attractions both iu the menagerie and the arena. Not the least is Johnnie Lowlow, tbe King of clowns and jesters. Remember the date.

Tuesday night the passengers on the up-train brought the news of a horrible accident which occurred near Vallejo, that afternoon. The Vallejo Times brought these particulars: James Scunlan and William Flemming, two young men aged about twenty, with a span of horses, were butchered in sight of their homes by the down train from Napa.

How the accident occurred it is diffi cult to understand at this writing. The trains coming down run very rapidly by the spot where the run-over occurred, but the country is open and level and a train can be seen for over a mile. It seems that the two young men had been harvesting in the hills back of the Orphans Home and having finished, hitched a span of horses to a spring wagon and started down the road that crosses the railroad track a short ways above Tobins slaughter-house, to visit a neighbor. In some way they weie run into by the down Napa train. The locomotive hit the vehicle between the horses and the men, and breaking it in two, hurled the men, beasts and wagon along with it for several rods.

The terrible work of death was.done quickly. By the time the train was stopped one of the unfortunate men and both horses were dead, and the other man was so horribly mangled that he died within a little while. The engine looked as if it had been lun through a slaughter-house, and tue trfbk for rods was smeared with blood, brains anil flesh. McMerritt, the conductor ot the train, and Mc-Auley, the engineer, seeing that one of the young men was still alive, proceeded to the crossing and there made an announcement of the accident. Doans hack with Rev.

Mr, Nelson proceeded to the scene of the runover, as did 'also Dr. Anderson, but they could do nothing more than aid to gather up the mangled remains of the poor fellows, which with the wagon were on the east Side of the track. The horses lay on the west side, and one of the animals had been knocked about one hundred feet. The bodies ot the young men were removed to their respective homes which were near by. Flemming was cut up worse than his companion.

His head was split open and the brains knocked out; the left eve was started from the socket; the chin was mashed in his right arm and leg were broken and nis left arm and body were badly bruised. He had been employed of late on E. E. McLees threshing ma-ffiiine. Scanlans skull was iractured, a gash several inches long was cut over his right eye and his nose was broken.

He also sustained severe braises about the body. One of the horses was completely disemboweled and the hind quarters of the other animal were carried away and its entrails ripped out. The locomotive did its terrible work so effectually that the victims could have suffered but little. No one now living except persons on tho train were near witnesses of the accident, and it was impossible last night to learn just how it occurred. Ve are satisfied that in many instances railroad accidents are the result of criminal negligence on the pare of railroad men, but in this instance it is difficult to s6a how any blame can attach to the company, as an approaching train can be seen for a long way from the spot where the men and horses were killed, and ordinary prudence on the part of those crossing the track would guard against such an accident as this.

THE TRAIN IIANDS SAY There was a perfectly clear crossing, and that the engine slowed down and whistled as the men approached the track. The men also reined up their team, and the engine started on, when the team again attempd to cross in front of the train, with the result known. Coroner Egery of Vallejo held the inquest over the remains of Fleming and Scanlan Wednesday morning. The following are parts of the testimony as given in the Vallejo Chronicle Dr. W.

D. Anderson testified that the signs of life exhibited by Scanlan had been due to muscular contraction. The engineer, Ed. McAuley, testified that he had been on the road 12 years; I did not see anything on the track before reaching the crossing; the fireman said team and I knew what it meant; I sounded the alarm three or four times before reaching the crossing; when the whistle was blown the train was within sixty or seventy feet of the crossing; as the crossing was reached saw the heads of horses; after whistling applied the air brakes and reversed the engine; the train was running about thirty or thirty-five miles an hour, usual speed; all precautionary measures weie taken; the steam bell was rung fiom the time the train left Napa Junction. Charles Thomas, the fireman, has been on the road three years and a half; was sixty or seventy feet from the crossing when I saw the team; team was within forty or fifty feet of the track when seen; caught quick glance of them aud told the engineer; the team was going at a good gait; coming from the left; neither occupant made any attempt to get out of the wagon; the bell and whistle were sounded as usual; I stepped back and out of the cab.

The jury after hearing the testimony, rendered the following verdict: That William Flemming, aged twe' ty-oue years, and James Scan' aged 19 years, came to their death the 14th of August by being killed by train No. 28, Calistoga train, on a crossing near Vallejo, and that we recommend that engineers use more caution in passing crossings in the future. COMMENTS. The Chronicle makes the following comments, which are corroborated by those who have examined the place of the accident: How two young men could deliberately drive upon a track when the train is in view, cannot be accounted for. From the testimony above, the employes, who are well-known, and are looked upon as first-class train hands, are in no way held responsible.

Some think the boys had a fractious team and thought it would be best to try and get over the track before the train, as the horses being so close, if they remained on the east side, the wagon would be tipped over. The only verdict that can be rendered is that it was a foolhardy attempt to cross the track, and the carelessness of the occupants ot the wagon was the sole cause. It may be called a deliberate and successful attempt at self -destruction. Maperior 1anrt XV Judec. O.

Last evening abont half-past five oclock Dr. W. W. Still wagon was summoned to the grocery of Lawrence Green, on the corner of Grant avenue and Laurel street. Arriving there, he found the proprietor suffering from the effects of laudanum poisoning.

He resorted to usual medical means to relieve the sick man, and friends and otheis who came in worked with him; but Green remained unconscious and died at 10:40 p. M. Coroner Hann this morning ing summoned a coroners jury, which listened to the testimony of witnesses. Annie Maria Green testified: Wa3 wife of deceased. His name was Law rence Green; aged 52 years.

He died last night at twenty minutes to eleven o'clock in his grocery store on Grant avenue. Went in the store at quarter past five f. m. He was talking to a lady and seemed all right, except that lie had been drinking. I went oat of the store and in a few minutes heard a noise in the store.

Went in and fonnd him lying on his back on the floor. He never spoke after. I sent my boy for his sister and Dr. Stillwagon, who came and worked over him till he died. He olten, when sick, said he wished he cculd die, bat I never thought -be meant it.

Since my son went away, about two months ago, he had been drinking very heavily. John Williams testified to helping tend deceased and to seeing a bottle of landanum, from which about six drachms were gone. Mis. Ellen Swenson, sister of deceased, testified that night before last he said, I hope, sister, I will find rest in the grave. He appeared quite well then and not intoxicated.

Ilis wife and he lived on good terms. He was born in Norway and had been in California 35 or 40 years. Joseph Levinson, clerk in the Pioneer drug store, testified to selling deceased 1 ounce of laudanum about two oclock yesterday. Deceased said he wanted it for the toothache. When he was walking out, thought he was under the influence of liquor.

Wm. West testified to having been with deceased last evening. Knew he had been drinking lately. Dr. Still-wagon told me he had done all he could.

Had not used the pump owing to his low condition. Dr. J. W. Hostetler testified to having gone last evening with Wm.West to see deceased about half-past eight.

Believe he was suffering from opium poisoning. Pugh testified to being in the room where deceased lay, and to Mr. Ritchies finding a laudanum bottle on a shelf, about Six or eight feet from where Green lay. Dr. W.

W. Stillwagon testified to giving medical aid. The bottle of laudanum had about 4 of an ounce in it. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased, Lawrence Green, came to his death from an overdose of laudanum administered by his own hands. The deceased had lived in Napa aud vicinity for the past eleven years or more.

He owned a large ranch and vineyard back of the Asylum which he sold in January last, and moved into town. About March 1st he started a grocery store on the corner of Graut Avenue and Laurel street which fie conducted up to the time of his death. He leaves one son about twelve years old, and was tbe stepfather of Thomas aud Anton Thompson. He was a member of Napa Lodge, No, 1897, Knights of Honor, and the lodge will take charge of the funeral which will be held from the deceaseds late residence on Grant Avenue, at two oclock to-morrow afternoon Mr. Green had always been regarded by those who knew him as a quiet, industrious citizen.

Mt. Helena inezrowers. At the meeting of the St. Helena Winegrowers Saturday the first business was the question of entertaining the Knights on the 21st. Twenty vintners were named to furnish -each ten gallons of white and ten gallons of red wiq to be old No.

1 wine, and a committee was appointed to see that all wine offered was good. Pellet, Krug and Scheffier reported a small increase in the red-leaf disease. Ewer found his one and two year old wines chiefly affected, whereas heretofore it had visited only the oldest vines. Quite a discussion ensnedon the subject of TYING UP VINES. Pellet had been surprised to see a splendid crop of Zmlandel, Golden Chasselas and Missions in Oapt.

Petersons vineyard, staked with four-foot stakes, and tied up, three short canes to a stake. The grapes on those canes thus tied up above the mass of foliage were splendid, while those on spurs, coming out near the around, were bad. Speaker did not believe in long canes on Zinfandels, but thought short ones were good. Krug said Malvoisies in Estees vineyard, tied up, were good; not tied, bad. Zange instanced Crueys grapes, which were good crop when tied up, and the reverse where not; also that in the Trainor vineyard lately bought by him some vines not tied up had an excellent crop.

Ewers experience with Zinfandels tied up was unfavorable. Evidence was adduced pro and con. Pellet said it must not be taken lor a guide for another year. There was danger of overdoing it and getting a big crop that would not ripen, and thus a lot of poor wine. It had chanced by an accidental season to be a great success this year, but let no one be deceived into adopting it as a rule.

Zange confirmed the judgment. Pond said his second crop was blighted like the first. There was no heat or north wind. What had done the damage? McIntyre thought the north wind earlier in the season might have a continuing effect upon the vine. Pellet noted the singular fact that when the first crop was good the second crop was good also, and rice versa.

Sawyier confirmed. The two crops are generally alike. Others noted exceptions to this experience. Pellet said that winegroweis should live a thousand years to learn all abont the business. Unanimously approved.

SHIPPING FACILITIES. Referring to the railroads refusal to make a shipping point of St. Helena, Shaw announced a possible remedy in the revival of Napa and Lake Co. R. R.

project, on which he was informed surveying was to be resumed Tuesday. St. Helena could build a branch to Dinmngs and thus have another outlet. Ewer thought that would hardly give us an outlet anyway, as it was only a local road. We have to deal with through lines.

Pellet said it might answer to ship to San Francisco, but we must ship through to the Atlantic. McIntyre asked about the forwardness of the crop compared with last year. Pellet said it was two weeks later, maybe three. He formerly commenced wine making the last week in August; this year would not begin before Sept. 15th.

There would be very little wine made before Oct. 1st. Krug scud the full vintage would not begin before Sept, 25th, Friday August 17, 1883. local briefs. From Tuesdays Daily, Ilobt.

The Home was planned by architects McDougall Son of San Francisco, and is a compact structure of three stories above the basement. It has a front G0x60 feet with rear extensions, respectively 21x38 and 41xG4 teet. On the first floor, which is fivo feet above the foundation and 18 feet in the clear, is the dming room, reading room and chapel, Superintendents and surgeons offices, etc.

On the upper floors will be the Rick ward and sleeping apartments. Tbe buildiDg is supplied with gas and water pipes, linen and dust shutes, fireplugs and all the most modern conveniences. In design, construction and finish, the work will compare favorably with any public building on this or any other coast. The kitchen and laundry, which aie to adjoin the main building, have not yet been erected, and some time must elapse before the Home is furnished and properly equipped for the care of those now in hospitals and almshouses who will flock to it as soon as all things are declared ready. Money is what is just now most wanted by the Association to complete and start the institution, and if Napa is to assist in the construction of a cottage she cannot move too expeditiously in that direction.

He has been a resident of Yountville, this valley, two years, and will prove the right man in the right plstce as head of one of the most noble of the charitable institutions of the State.

Register: Not having seen a a Napa Register for a long time, I do not know whether you have letters from this part of the State or not. If yon do, and do not wish this, please insert it in the waste paper basket, which is so conveniently situated near the editorial chair. Haying and heading are, of course, over. The yield was good, as it always i3 on bottom lands, and the late rains were just iu time to save that on higher ground. Threshing is full force, though in this section of the county but little grain is left to ripen, most of it being cut for hay.

The principal business of this county is sheep and cattle raising. Both sheep and cattle are driven to the mountains for pasture daring tho Summer, by the men who stay thereto care for them, leaving the women to run the ranches. They are capable of it, too. But little fruit is started here. Now, Mr.

Editor, I have always been taught that it was so wicked to kill the little birds and that I must protect them, but it seems to be a question whe ther the birds, rabbits and squirrels, or the human family, live. There are hundreds of birds here, aDd not a berry or particle of any kind of fruit is suffered to ripen. They eat them while yet so hard and green as to be unfit for any use whatever. I took a walk over my peach orchard to-day, and find trees on whiqh the peaches will not be ripe for a month yet, with with more than half the fruit eaten, pears and other fruits the same. What is to be done? Wells and unfailing springs are both tailing this year.

Many of my neighbors have been compelled to dig their wells, which have never failed before, several feet deeper, to enable them to stay by the ranch all the Summer, On Cold Fork they dig six feet in the creek bed for water for the stock. This is a goad colmty in some respects, but I much prefer Napa for a settled home. It may not be healthier or easier to make a living in, bnt it is more thickly settled than the parts that I have seen of Tehama, is not so hot in Summer or so cold in Winter. The disease which has taken so many of the little ones of Red Bluff and vicinity seems to be gradaally leaving. It is still raging in the mountains around town I hear.

Hnpitlly Kpoovering. Whilo at Yountville Wednesday we dropped in to sea L. M. Gardner, the boss carpenter who fell from the roof of the Veterans Home lasFThursday. He is being cared for in the old dwelling adjoining the Home and is as cheerful and confident of a speedy recovery as a man at all sick could be.

That he was not instantly killed is a marvel, tailing as he did forty-six feet to a hard porch fioor, in which he leit a deep indenture, and thence to the ground eight feet more! When asked if he was long unconscious after the fall, he said no; that he very soon recovered his senses and took in the full situation; that he heard the doctors talk about giving him up, but that he had no intention of being given up, though for an hour or two he had serious thoughts of dying. No bones are broken and there i3 bat one place on his body, and that is about the elbow of the left arm, where wotmds are apparent. It i3 believed that he struck on his heel aud this braised elbow. lie finds it difficult to turn in bed, but talks without trouble, has a good appetite aud believes that he will be on his feet again in a few days.
