It is believed that Brad shaw’s capture is hut a matter of time, as every avenue of escape from the mountains into which he went is be ing closely guarded. The cause of the deed is unknown, but it is believed that Bradshaw thought Thompson had reported him to the revenue officers for blockadin and sought this method to retaliate. PRICE NOW DENIES THE CRIME. COMMODORE SCHLET. Admiral Dewey, president of the court of inquiry, in his report, sus tains Admiral Schley at ail points and completely vindicates him from the as persions o" his foes. Admiral Dewey finds that the passage to Cienfuegos was made with all dispatch; that in view of his coal supply the blockade at Cienfuegos was effective; that he allowed the Aduia to enter Cienfuegos to get information; that his passage to Santiago was with as much dis patch as possible, keeping the squad ron together; that the blockade at Santiago %vas effective, and finally that he was the senior officer at Santiago, in absolute command and entitled to the credit due for the glorious victory which resulted in the total destruction of the Spanish ships. Admirals Benham and Ramsay, in their report, condemn Admiral Schley on 11 points. The majority opinion finds in brief that Admiral Schley should have proceeded with the ut most dispatch to Cienfuegos and main tained a close blockade; that he should have proceeded to Santiago with dispatch; that he should not havo made the retrograde movement; that he should have obeyed the depart ment’s orders; that he should have endeavored to capture the Spanish vessels in Santiago; that he did not do his utmost to destroy the Colon; that he caused the squadron to lose distance ir the loop of the Brooklyn; that he thereby caused the Texas to back; that he did injustice to nodg- son; that his conduct in the cam paign was characterized by vaccina tion, dilatoriness and lack ’ of enter prise; that his official reports on the coal supply were misleading and in accurate; that his conduct during the battle was self-possessed and that he encouraged in his own person his sub ordinate officers and men. Refutes Confession Relative to Mur der of Mrs. Rowland. Macon, Dec. 17.—Arthur Price, charged with the murder of Mrs. R. J. Rowland, was indicted yesterday by the grand jury and will be placed on trial Wednesday morning. Price went before the grand jury and denied any knowledge of the Row land murder, refuting the confession he had previously made. He now says he knows nothing about the murder of Mrs. Rowland and believes he will be able to prove an alibi. The confession made by Price on former occasions and to several dif ferent parties is, nowever, generally accepted. Judge Felton has assigned the case for trial Wednesday morning and has appointed Andrew W. Lane and Or ville A. Park to defend the prisoner. Schooner Runs Into Jetties. Mayport, Fla., Dec. 16.—Losing her bearings in the thick weather and caught in the grip of a heavy sea, the schooner James Judges, Captain Da vidson, bound from Mayaguez, Porto Rico, to Jacksonville, without cargo, ran against the jetties at the entrance to the harbor before daylight yester day morning. The schooner was res cued by two tugs and carried up the river. Her planking was badly dam aged, but her hull was not stove in. Schley Wanted as Lecturer. Washington, Dec. 14.—Admiral Schley’s mail has been steadily grow ing lately and he has received a num ber of offers to go on the lecture plat form. One proposition was a fixed price of $500 a nigm for lectures to last 40 nights. Admiral Schley polite ly declined this and all other offers. Wsn. J.

Tallahassee Southeastern System May Have Been Bought. Tallahassee, Fla., Dec. 16.—It was given out here yesterday that F. H. Beach had sold the Tallahassee South eastern railroad to the Florida Grand Trunk Railroad company. This company was granted a char ter by the Florida legislature in 1893 with a capital of $500,000 and the fol lowing incorporators: J. R. Tyren and H. T. Baya, of Florida; H. McCall, of New York; R. Combes, of Alabama, and Samuel H. Levy, of London, Eng land, to build, equip ana operate a railroad from some point on the At lantic ocean, through Tallahassee to some point on the boundary line be tween Alabama and Florida and grant ing 10,000 acres of land per -mile. It is stated that the parties interested are daily expected here to perfect the papers. It is also claimed that the Grand Trunk people will push the work of building their railroad. Advertising rates liberal. FROST AND FERTILITY. Resistant Effect of Vigorous Growth In a Variety of Plants. In a recent visit to a large nursery I saw two striking examples of the ef fect of vigorous vegetable growth in counteracting frost, says a writer in Rural New Yorker. Part of a field of cowpeas planted as a cover crop was green and making some growth, while In the other par? but few living plants could be seen, nearly all having been killed by a recent heavy frost. The nurseryman told me that the space covered by green peas had been heav ily manured just before planting time and that the rest of the field had re ceived uo enrichment. The secoud illustration was even more marked. A large block of young apples, two years from the graft, had on one side several acres of rather weak growing trees. On these were few fresh green leaves, nearly all hav ing been browned by frost. On the re mainder of the block the trees had made a good summer growth and were full of vigor. The foliage of these was green and almost unharmed, especially on the strong growing upper shoots. In this case the less vigorous plants were on land from which trees had been removed but two years previous and which had not recovered from the depletion of fertility by this former crop. The more fertile part had gone through the usual nurseryman’s rota tion of several years without trees. In both instances the land was flat, where elevation or air drainage could have had no effect and where there were no forests or water or changes in soil or other apparent factors that could have brought about the differences mention ed. A number of similar examples along the same line which have come under my observation could be given. I call to mind a field of ceiery at Kal amazoo in which soil fertility seemed to offset a hard frost. In a forestry experiment in Utah I uotieed two sec- cessive seasons that the upper leaves and shoots, which we usually speak ot as “tender tips” and which of course are best nourished and most vigorous, kept green after the lower leaves were badly frostbitten. Winter killing of grains’ is most common on poor soils. Vitality in plants varies with the fer tility of the soil. Seed Corn For Next Season. As the season advances evidence ac cumulates in support of our position that seed corn will be scarce next year. In some of the corn states there will be more or less corn which, if husked and carefully husked, will grow. Much of the corn is late and comparatively immature, and the moisture must be removed before freezing weather ar rives. But large sections will produce means to do this are lacking. There is no branch of poultry raising iu which one can realize more from the capital invested. To raise turkeys successfully and for profit they must he hatched early. It is best to use turkey hens, as they in variably make better mothers, caring for the young poults much more care fully than domestic hens. One of the most promising varieties, the blacks, are being bred in large numbers in some sections at the pres ent time. The modern black turkey is nearly equal to tha Tirouze in size. The old style blacks were not only in ferior in size, but poor in quality. How ever, by careful breeding and handling and with an infusion of new blood they have been greatly improved in size and general makeup. To attain their present weights and general char acteristics there is no question what ever, but more or less bronze blood lias been judiciously used. From a market standpoint there is no question but the blacks will dress yel lower and even plumper than any other standard variety. The standard weights of black turkeys are: Cocks, 27 pounds; bens, 18 pounds; cockerels, IS pounds, and pullets, 12 pounds. At the present time these weights are entirely too low, except on hens. We have no trouble at Christmas time in having pullets from 14 to 15 pounds, cockerels 20 to 24 pounds and cock birds 30 or over. The standard requires males and females to be lustrous black throughout, but it is a difficult matter to secure young birds with solid colored plumage, as more or less feathers In wings will invariably be tipped with white. This will usually disappear at maturity. Good strains of blacks are strictly hardy, their eggs hatch well, and they are fully as good layers as the bronze or white. They arc very docile in their habits and are not ineliued to ramble as much as other va rieties. The young grow r rapidly from the start, and at selling time always command the top of the market. The bead and beak should be long and broad and of good shape; eyes bright and hazel; neck of medium length and well curved; back broad, of good length and highest in the center and curved the shape of an egg. The breast should be broad, deep and full; body of good length and round in out line; wings of good length and snugly folded against the sides; tail of medium length and when folded comparatively small. Thighs, shanks and toes should be of good length, with strong bone and perfectly straight.—Charles McClave in Reliable Poultry Journal. COL. HARRISON A LAWYER. MISS Molll© Two Smiling; Faces.

In selecting a bronze turkey there are certain points of plumage which indi cate purity of breed. The color should be a rich, lustrous bronze, which should glisten in the sunlight like burnished gold. On the back each feather has a narrow black band, which extends across the end. The primary, or flight, feathers are black or dark gray, and the secondaries are black or brown, penciled with white or gray, the colors changing to a bronzy brown. The wing bows are black, with a brilliant bronze or greenish luster. The wing qenters are bronze, the feathers termi nating with a wide black band. The tail Is black, and each feather is pen ciled with narrow bands of light brown, ending in a broad band with a wide edge of dull white or gray. The legs in the young are usually dark or black, changing with age to a dusky or pinkish purple. Honey In the Cellar. The average cellar In most places is about the worst place that could be chosen to keep honey, remarks an ex change. For extracted honey choose a dry place, for comb honey a place that Is dry and warm. A place that will not keep salt dry will not do for honey. It absorbs moisture as does salt and will become thin and in time may sour. Comb honey in a damp place will at tract moisture, and finally the cells I can make a coat that don’t bunch up and haug like a rag in front; a coat that fits to the back ofthe neck; a coat that fits under the shoul ders ; the sleeve seams are direct ly under the arm—not twist ed half to the front.
