THEft RECKON THE E. T. H.

The Northbound Passenger's Collision With a Freight Friday Night.

BONY" LYONS, HERETOFORE FORTUNATE, IS INJURED.

His Arm Broken—Tb« Passengers Shaken Up Bat No One Injured.

The wreck on the E. & T. II. at Emerson, a small station just north of Vincennes, was a fortunate escape from a serious disaster. It occurred early in the morning, between passenger train No. north bound, and freight train No. '20. The freight had orders to take a siding at Emerson, and the passenger was to pass. The freight arrived at the switch and stopped. The rails were wet and slippery, and some difliculty was experienced in starting. A flagman was sent ahead to warn the passenger, which was then about due at the switch. The freight was making slow progress in getting on the switch. The engineer supposed that some of the brakes were set and blew the whistle to have them let off. About this time the passenger rolled up. The flagman was seen but the whistle from the freight was mistaken by Engineer Bony Lyons, of the passenger, as meaning "come ahead." He soon discovered that the freight had not cleared the switch and he reversed his engine and applied the air brakes. The distance was short and the rain had made the rails slippery. As a result the passenger plunged into the freight. Several box cars which were struck were smashed and the empty beer kegs which they contained were scattered about. The passenger engine was badly damaged. Engineer Lyons remained with his engine and in the smash-up received a broken arm. Ilis fireman escaped unhurt. The passenger cars all remained on the track. None of the occupants were injured, escaping with a shaking up. A wreck train was sent for at Evansville and after it arrived the wreck was soon lifted. The damage will not be very heavy. The freight destroyed was not valuable. The greatest loss will be on the engine.

Engineer Lyons, "Uony" as everyone knows him, has been in a number of wrecks but has been very fortunate in escaping. His injuries yesterday were more serious than ever before. It was he who ran into a freight at Farmersburg and ho was in the collision between this city and Spring Hill some months ago. He and Wm. Kerlin have been known as the luckiest engineers on the road. Kerlin had many narrow escapes from being injured. While Lyons is fortunate in avoiding being hurt, he is unfortunate in that his engine has killed a number of persons. Bony resides in Evansville, but is well known here, and is one of the most popular engineers running into the city.

SPORTING NOTES.

Jack Ilavlin and Frank Murphy hBve given up the idea of fighting again, and the feather-weight championship belt will remain in the Boston boy's possession.

Frank Steele, of Boston, and Tommy I anforth, of New York, fought sixteen rounds with three-ounce gloves, to a draw, at Boston. Danforth had the better of the light hitting done in the first eight rounds, but Steele braced up in the ninth, and thereafter had a shade the best of it, although his blows lacked the strength of Danforth's, which were landed hard when they landed well. Steele's face bore evidence of rough usage, but the New Yorker did not have a scratch. The battle was tame, and score of spectators thought it a "Barne/." Each man scaled 122 pounds.

John L. Sullivan, with Mahoney, McElroy and Dan Murphy, will leave Boston to day for New York, where they will meet Charley Johnston, of Brooklyn, and post $1,000 in the Clipper office as a forfeit for Sullivan to light Jake Kilrain. The light will be according to London prize ring rules to take place within 100 miles of Now Orleans for $2, 00 to $10,000 a side and the championship of the world. It is reported here that Geo. Law, of New York, and Charlie Kempland, of Brooklyn, have agreed to find 810,001) for Sullivan with the proviso Joe Coburn shall be Sullivan's mentor.

Kugene Hornbacker, the bantam prize tighter, has adopted a novel method of training himBelf preparatory to meeting Charles McCarthy for the championship. He walks up and down First avenue, New York, daily clinging fast to one end of an iron chain, at the other end of which a big bull dog tugs and pulls unceasingly. The dog is vicious and of the most radical bull type. He always seems bent on examiningjeverything on both sides of the street. The appearance of another dog is always the signal for a tug of war which gives Hornbacker more practice at training, he thinks, than a two-mile run. In leading the dog from Woodside to New York and back, nineteen miles, Hornbacker says he lost four pounds.

RASE BALI, NOTES.

Manager Wright says the Phillies will linish in third place. A Pittsburg paper proposes a series of three games each between the Pittsburg Philadelphia and Athletic clubs for $f00 a corner and the championship of Pennsylvania.

The Boston team is the most aggravating aggregation of ball-tossers extant. list as they appeared to have struck a second place gait they go to work and lose four straight games. It is rumored that the Boston players would like to see Chicago take the tlag.

This week is the last of base bail in Indianapolis for the present season. The Washington club plays to-day and Tuesday, and the Philadelphia team on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, two games each on the last two days, making eight games for the week.

Various suggestions have been ottered for increasing the batting. Mr. Ward thinks the pitching distance should be increased Mr. Chadwiek that the foul line should be moved Mr. Hanlon that there should be a return to the calling for high or low ball Mr. Somebody else that there should be a four-strike rule. Tm. EXPKKSS would like to suggest a few more ways of doing the busipess: Put a coat of rubber on the ball paint it red hang a bell on it give it a lantern put a music box in it fatten the batsj^remove the infield build the center field fence in the read of the pitcher's box. This ought to increase the batting.

FARM MATTERS.

The Clovers in Missouri.

Prof. J. W* Sanborn, of the Missouri Agricultural College, in the Station bulletin No, 2 says in relation to clovers:

Alsike Clover—This was sown in the fall with the grasses Semtember 1. Stood the winter better than red clover. Started more vigorously, gave work for the bees, was ripe in early June. Stood twenty-four to twenty-seven inches, and did not mind the drought. Yield 4,840 pounds March 4, 3,800 pounds. This is another plant little known or unknown in the practice of our state that seems to outdo itself or its record in relation to the other clovers. It stood a severe winter and drought and did the best of any clover sown. Its germination was not perfect, therefore its yield not representative. I regard it as very promising. It started a full stand for 1888, ripened the first of the clovere, or first week in June. Weighed psunds, but not quite cured, but as well as the following clovers:

Red Clover—Some winter killed. Heads brown June 14. Height twentysix inches. Yield 3,680 pounds not well dried March 3, weighed 2,400 pounds. Did not winter as well second winter as Alsike, but thickened up from its seed and gave, June 27, 4,!KX) pounds of clover.

Large Red Clover—It has much the same record as number two, and carried no more Bize that I could discover. Weighed 3,780 pounds, and in March 2,400 pounds. The stand was thin. The season of 1888 it outgrew the common red clover and gave 5,383 pounds yipld.

Perennial Red Clover—This gave in every respect the poorest record of clovers. However, when clover is fallsown, the record must be in a large measure accidental as the clovet will not stand the winter unless under a good growth the first year. I began in the spring to fit the ground for summer sowing after fallowing out the weeds. But the drought delayed the sowing until late. They were filled in in the spring. Again they met a bad season. This clover for 1888 was a complete failure.

Alfalfa—This plant is being introduced into the state in many sections. Stood fall drought and winter freezes. Ripened about 8th of June. Height thirty inches yield 3,320 pounds at cutting. Started well for -second crop, but severity of drought reduced it to a moderate yield.

It has the reputation of improving after the first year's growth. The crop of 1888 started more vigorously than in the previous year, notwithstanding grasses and clovers were looking worse than for years.

June 11,1888, it harvested.3,700 pounds of dried fodder on a good stand. It has been on the farm several years, and so far does not promise to equal red clover for our soil, either in yield or palatableness.

Sanfoin (Onobrychis Sativa)—This leguminous crop is a very rich cattlefood and in-higher favor in France and other European sections. It had headed out April 2Gth, and was ripe in May. It remained green long after it was ripe, had a good leafage, and carried promise of good pasturage, as well as a fodder crop. Yield at harvest, 2,400 pounds, and 1,500 in winter. There was not onehalf of a stand on account of poor seed and dry year.

It started well in the spring of 1888, and flowered the 1st of May. It was covered with, the bees. It strikes me favorably for this state.

Water Tor Farm Stock.

The facts that whole herds of cattle are kept summer after summer in field where ponds or other stagnant water full of decaying animal and vegetable matter is all that they have to drink and yet do well, and the equally potent fact that many more have been given unfiltered cistern water with the same result, would lead many to conclude that the subject of pure water for stock was of no especial practical importance. In reply Professor A. J. Cook says with force and truth, in the Weekly Press, that many a boy uses tobacco almost from the cradle to the grave and yet remains healthy and vigorous. Yet there are other thousands that are being emasculated mentally and often killed outright by this same obnoxious and filthy poison. He makes it a point to give his cattle and other stock no food or drink that he would not use himself. Stock mayjive and thrive on foul, stagnant water. They may 6icken and die because of the same. And, even granting that they do thrive with

Buch

drink,

it does not follow that they would not do far better were they provided with clear, pure, spring, brook or well water. With our cheap, excellent wind mills and nature's grand, pure reservoir which exists everywhere beneath us, there is surely no need of obliging our stock to drink from the fetid, loathsome pool.

If it is thought best to use cistern water for farm stock, the cistern should be separated into two portions by a brick wall, well laid in water lime. Then we should let the water enter on one side and pump it out from the other side of the partition. Such a wall of brick forms a very efficient filter.

Ashes ax a Garden Fertilizer.

American Farmer. Under certain conditions ashes are very valuable as a garden manure, but some discrimination must be used in their application. My experience with them is that they should be applied and well worked in the soil before planting the seed. Last year I tested them in the hill with potatoes. I planted two rows manured with a liberal quantity of ashes, another with lime, and another well-rotted poultry manure. All were applied in the hill. The potatoes in the rows where ashes were applied were scabby, more so than I would like—the rest were entirely free, nice and clean. In previous trials, where the ashes were scattered broadcast over the land and thoroughly worked into the soil, they proved very beneficial, without injuring the potatoes, as when applied in the hill.

Last year I planted my salisfy in a place where a large brush pile had lieen burned, leaving a heavy coat of ashes all over the hill, which was afterwards well ploughed and harrowed and laid off in drills in which the seed was sown. I never had a finer crop. The roots were large, nice and smooth. The soil was new black loam. Scarcely a weed made its appearance, while the year before the weeds were very troublesome, and as the land had never been in cultivation they were allowed to mature their seed.

A good top dressing of unleached ashes is especially valuable for onions, if not applied too thick but to some tender vegetables they do more harm than good when used as top dressing. They are especially good for loosening a stiff soil, on which their effect will be apparent for a long time and, in the orchard, I do not know of anything more vcluable. The saving of ashes will pay manifold, even at the expense of building a

place for the purpose of storing them. But to obtain the most profitable results, they should be thoroughly worked into the soul, essecially in the garden, and should not be applied directly root crops. Finally, their effects more apparent on a stiff, clajey or hardpan soil than on a black, sandy loam.

Level vs. Deep Cultivation.

Soil cultivation for this season is about over. Mistakes with the crop of 1888 will have to stand. We can only remember them and resolve that we will cut them away for the crop of 1889. One thing is sure, the effects of a good or bad system of cultivation will never be more plainly visible than they now are. How did you cultivate the corn? Read the following note from a Western correspondent, and tell us what you think of it: "Lesi season was as dry as a mummy. This one is exactly opposite, being juicy as a melon. Last year most of the corn when full grown stood four to five feet high, this season eight to twelve. There has been precious little time between showers for its cultivation, and the man who used light surface-stirring implements, and slashed along at she rate, of six to eight acres a day, went over his fields three or four times and kept the weeds down until the corn was large enough to smother all that came up. Now his cornfield is comparatively free from weeds, the stalks are big and rank, and bid fair to yield an immense crop. On the other hand, the man who cultivated with the deep-run-ning, horse-killing gouges, managed to get over his fields about once, and the ground is now matted with crab-grass, smart-wead and other trash, while the corn seems to be somewhat affected with jaundice, or some other liver complaint." —[Rural New Yorker.

To Preserve Fence Posts.

Parker Earle, of Cobden, 111., in building a fence around his young orchards several years ago, tried many plans for preserving the posts. Having occasion to remove the fence last winter he noted the condition of the posts as follows: Those set with no preparation were decayed an inch or more in thickness those coated with a thick wash of lime were better preserved, but were quite seriously attacked by worms those posts coated with hot tar were as perfectly sound as when put in the ground those painted with petroleum and kerosene were equally as sound and as good for setting. Let the posts get thoroughly dry, and then, with a pan of cheap kerosene and a whitewasn brush, give the lower third of the post, the part to go into the ground, two or three applications of the oil, letting it soak in each time. PostB so treated, he says, will not be troubled by worms or insects of any kind, but will resist decay to a remarkable degree. This he finds to be the simplest, easiest, cheapest and best method of preservation.

Farm Notes.

The depth for drilling seed, such as wheat, can be regulated on the drill, and this should be carefully attended to in order to avoid getting the seed in too deep.

Lime broadcasted over the soil is never wasted. If not appropriated by one crop it will be taken up by another. It acts on the soil, and thereby increases the supply of plant food.

The best soil for wheat is clay or a heavy loam or an admixture of the two a fair proportion of lime, natural or artificially applied, will be very beneficial. Sandy soils oftentimes produce fine crOpe, but are not so reliable.

The plant known as dusty miller is one of the bess for borders, as it becomes very thick and compact. One of its faults is to extend itself and run over a large space, but it may easily be kept in bounds with but little labor. It may be transplanted in the fall, as it is hardy and endures the severest winter.

Celery will now be growing rapidly, and, except when wanted for early use, should just haye the soil drawn to it, to keep the leaves from spreading at the bottom. It takes from two weeks to a month to bleach, according to the season, and does not keep BO well in winter, if bl'inched too early. That for present use, of course, will have to be bleached as wanted.

Ashes iissist to stiffen the straw of wheat by decomposing silica, which is the principal ingredient of the bony substance of plants. Silica is insoluble, but the potash of the ashes slowly assists in breaking its combinations and rendering it more available for use by plants.

Mr. D. B. Wier, of Illinois, states it as his observation that the fruit of many plum trees is so largely influenced by the pollen with which the blossoms were fertilized that the very same variety may produce very good or verp poor fruit, according to the character of other varieties standing in its vicinity.

Grass seed, if sown now, will have time to make a good "catch" before the winter. If the spring season shoaid not prove dry. grass will start off well, but when fall seeding of grass is practiced it avoids all chances of insufficient moisture. On sandy soils the fall seeding is the better mode. Make the ground rich with well-rotted manure.

Stumps left in the field will not decay if shoots are allowed to grow out. It is not difficult to destroy the stumps if the shoots are kept down. If the field of stumps is a large one a small flock of sheep will greatly assist in preventing any kind of growth on the stumps, as sheep will readily eat the tender shoots as fast as they appear.

Weeds will still grow apace, and after a crop is secured beyond injury from their growth, they are apt not to be disturbed. Now, this is the very time they get in their work in furnishing a bountiful crop of seeds for next year's troubles. Better allow no weeds to go into seed, if you can help it. Either cut them down when young, or, if of a fuller growth, turn them under the soil as manure.

Draining the soil with tiles greatly assists in preventing the damage sometimes done by frost in freezing the ground and throwing up the plants. The soil that has been drained is warmer in winter, and the plants grown on it start off early in the spring. Work can be done more easily on a well drained soil, and the cost of drainage is but a small amount if the land has a slight fall.

When planting peach trees have them of several varities,in order that the fruit in the peach orchard may not all ripen at once. Troth's early and Early Crawford, followed by Oldmixon, with Stump the World and Late Crawford for late supply, would be a proper selection. Among the varities may be mentioned the Smock and Morris white, which are also excellent.

The Bartlett seems to be king of the pears. The Secke and Clapp's Favorite come next, with the Lawrence and other late pears, which are sweeter and better adapted for canning, following. The subacid of the Bartlett and Clapp, and also their musky odor, place them in advance as favorites. Young pear treee should

not be allowed to bear until they are at least four or five yean old. Choice queen cells should be saved during swarming time, and the young queens reared can be used in making colonies after the Sow of honey is past. Italian bees often swarm even before starting queen cells, and then the old colony builds and rears queens. It is good management to save all the cells built in a choice colony so as to have good, vigorous queens to introduce wherever inferior stock is discovered.

Chinese primrose seed, if not already sown, should be sown at once. If wanted very early, it is better to have them by this time ready to put into small pots. Cinerarias and calceolarias all belong to the same class of plants. These are raised from seed each year, and are winter or spring-flowering plants. Primroses will come into flower early in the near year, and continue all the winter. Tho other two will flower along towards the end of winter.

Raspberries will thrive on almost any well-drained soil of moderate richness, but wet land is always injurious and often fatal to them. Harrow smooth and fine and plant deep. Plant in late fall or eariy spring, in straight rows seven feet apart, with bushes three feet apart in the row. If planted late in the spring tender shoots are liable to retard future growth. For the first season give clean culture, and, if desirable, other crops may be grown among them without injury.

In a small patch of cabbages the laying of the eggs which produce the cabbage worm is done by only a half dozen of the white butterflies, and they should be captured and killed, which is not difficult. and much better than attempting to destroy the worms in the cabbage. On large fields the number of butterflies daily at work sometimes are so few that ten minutes will Buffice for catching them. A single butterfly will visit a large number of plants.

Wheat is generally winter killed by heaving of the ground from the effect of frost. If wheat is sown deep the top will rise while the lower soil remains stationary, thus breaking the wheat stem and severing the tog from the root. The remedy is to sow shallow and have only a few inches of the surface loose and pulverized the under soil compact. The roots then spread out horizontally and are lifted with the plant and not injured so much by the frost.

Sometimes in natural swarming bees light so high that some beekeepers climb a ladder and cut the limb off, or shake them into a vessel and carry them down, and run the risk of falling and getting badly stung. I have a fork with a hankie about ten feet long, and a hoop fastened in the top of the fork, so it will swing, with a sack about fifteen inches long sewed around the hoop. The Back also swings between the fork tines. Into this I shake the bees as I stand on the ground. I then let them down gently.—|N. Fink.

For farm manure the sheep is surpassed only by the hen and rivalled only by the hog. It is much easier to save the manure from the sheep, less of the liquid being lost. Owing to the dryness of the solid, most of the liquid is soaked up and saved, while that from cattle is lost, or saved only in expensive tanks or cemented cellars. Sheep, while on grass, scatter their manure much more evenly, and it is, therefore, of much greater value. Thus, wherever sheep are kept the land is found to continually increase in fertility.

TURF NOTES.

The largest paying mutual ticket thus far this year is §198.75 on Keystone, at Brighton Beach, July 4.

There is only half the number of race courses in England there was fifty years ago, still there is more racing.

E. J. Baldwin offered $30,000 for Proctor Knott after he won the Futurity stake, which Sam Bryant promptly refused.

Iodine, by Aker's Idol, out of an old road mare of unknown breeding, won the 2:55 class at Derby, Conn., getting a record of 2:29%.

It is a notable fact that Guy Wilkes, sire of the fastest 3-year-old, Sable Wilkes, 2:18, and William L., the Bire of the fastest 2-year-old, Axtell, 2:24, outside of California, are own brothers.

Martinette, the 2-year-old son of Kentucky Prince, recently purchased at Stony Ford, N. Y., by Sutherland «fc Benjamin, of East Saginaw, Mich., has arrived safely at the establishment of his new owners, and will be installed es second in command to their well known trotting stallion Sphinx.

The 3-year old stallion, Whitewood, which trotted a mile in 2:24 on a halfmile track at Adams on July 4, and which was regarded as a very promising colt, died at Carthage last week from inflammation of the bowels. His owner, Rufus White, of Adams, recently refused $7,500 for the colt.

It is a commonly accepted belief that stallions for severe and protracted work, or for short bursts requiring the exercise of great muscular energy, are vastly superior to geldings. But this is an erroneous opinion, for it has been demonstrated by more than ten years of actual trial in the omnibus service of London and Paris that for ability to stand hard and fast work the gelding is quite equal to the stallion.

Sheriff Sawyer served an attachment on Orphan Boy, Plush and Toledo girl at the Driving Park, Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday, the 11th. The horses were attached on an execution for a judgment granted in September, 1886, to A. B. Taylor, of the National Bank of Lodi, against John B. Coleman and John W. Vogelsong. The judgment was for $1,253.48, with costs.

C. C. Ward, of Waukesha, Wis., has sold to Cincinnati parties for $1,200, the 6year old bay gelding Fred R, by a son of Swigert, dam by Dave Hill. Mr. Ward is owner of the black stallion Waukesha, 7109, which stands 16}4 hands high, and is possessed of probably the finest tail of any horse in the country. When the horse moves it trails thirty-three inchee upon the ground, and the hair is almost as fine and soft as that on a woman's head. The horse is of fine conformation, and makes a very handsome appearance.

Killed at Coal Bluff.

A man named Vocum was killed Saturday morning on the Chicago it Indiana coal road, near Coal Bluff. Yocum was deaf and dumb, which probably accounts for the accident. He was walking on the track and did not discover the approaching train until it was too near upon him. His body was badly mangled, but he lived in terrible agony for an hour. He was about 30 years of age and lived a short diftance north of Coal Bluff. Coroner Haworth went out on the afternoon train and held an inquest over the remains.

Is a daily paper for busy people. Of all mankind the people of Chicago and the busy northwest are the busiest. And yet perhaps no equal number of people are to be found who appreciate so keenly the necessity of an intelligent knowledge of the world's daily doings. They recognize that they, more than anyone else, are the world's providers in many of the most important necessaries of life. How important, then, that they should have their daily intelligence of every event, the world over, which by any possibility can affect their diversified commercial holdings. And in all the higher interests of life where can be found a like number of people more keenly appreciative of all that contributes to progress in art, literatui- science, religion, politics, and the thousand and one things which make up modern civilization.

And yet, strange to say, right here in this great, busy northwest, in its busy metropolis Chicago, there has taken place the creation and development of that most cumbrous, unserviceable, time-destroying thing, the blanket-sheet" newspaper. With the blindness of very fatuity this monstrosity of journalism, this breeder of mental dyspepsia, has steadfastly imposed its mountain of unthreshed straw to the demand of the people for the winnowed grain of fact It was out of the very incongruousness of such a condition of things that THE DAILY NEWS had its birth. People wanted the News,—all the news—but they demanded it apart from the overpowering mass of the trivial and inconsequential. It is because THE DAILY NEWS satisfactorily meets that ffiBand that its circulation is over a-million a-week." R. M. LAWRENCE, Williamsville, 111., says: The big daily' is too much for me. Not that a person is obliged to read everything printed in the blanket-sheets,' but one having anything else to do doesn't have time to hunt through the long-drawn twaddle for a few grains of digestible food."

Which, more than anything else, have contributed to the phenomenal growth of The Chicago Daily News, giving it a circulation larger than that of all other Chicago dailies combined. It seems strange that the first practical, combined application of two such common sense principles in journalism should have been left to a paper as yet only twelve years old. And yet true it is that in this fact lies the real secret of the unparalleled success of The Chicago Daily News. Briefly stated these principles are: First. THE DAILY NEWS

When to two such comprehensive elements of popularity THE DAILY NEWS now adds a third in its unparalleled price reduction to One Cent a day, it offers a combination of attractions at once unique and unapproachable by any other American newspaper, and one which will surely multiply its friends throughout the Northwest by the thousands.

Second. THE DAILY NEWS Is an Independent, truth-telling newspaper. The reader can count on one hand the known newspapen whose statements in matters of politics can always be accepted as at least intentionally truthful, and commonly so in fact. On the other hand, it is the all-but-universal rule to praise one's party and candidate to the skies, and to cry down the opposition party and its candidate to the verge of the disreputable. So common have such silly and reprehensible methods in journalism become that they pass unnoticed, and are accepted as matter of course—as an evil inseparable from practical politics. But this is only another mistake of the thoughtless. The American people are intelligent enough, thoughtful enough, fair enough to appreciate and endorse honest, truth-telling journalism—in truth to preferittothe misleading, the truth-discoloring dishonesty of the organ."

The demand is more and more for the fair, impartial, independent newspaper which give the reader all the news, and give! it absolutely free from the taint of partisan bias. This done, an expression of opinion, based upon facts, will commend itself to the thoughtful reader even when he may not find himself in agreement with the conclusions deduced from the premises. Disagreements are of small moment if only confidence in honesty of purpose remains. With no mere political ambition to gratify, no "ax to grind," the impartial and independent newspaper may truly be "guide, philosopher and friend" to honest men holding every shade of political faith. And this is why THE DAILY NEWS has to-day a circulation of over a-million-a-week." M. WYGANT, Sibley, Iowa, writes: "I am •well pleased with

THE DAILY NEWS, although I am a bred-in-the-bone' Republican with a carpet bag experience in the South ending i» 1872. The extreme fairness of THE DAILY NEWS, giving credit where due regardless of party, meets my approval."
