Mipil He Has Succeeded in Clipping tht Claws of His Avowed Enemy* District Attorney Graham. RULE 6RIRTED BY THE SUPREME COURT,. It Penults the Senator and nu Co-Defend-note to Argue n Petition for n Writ ol Certiorari Removing the Proceeding* to the Supreme Court—The Rule Mot Returnable CntU January 7 Meat. Philadelphia, Dec. ll.--Supreme Court Justices Green and William# gran ted mi- rule allowing the defendants in the Quay conspiracy case to argue a petition for writ of certiorari removing the proceedings from the

SENATOR MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY court of quarter sessions to the supreme court. The rule is returnable January 7. and all proceedings are stayed in the meantime. The defendants in the case are Senator M. S. Quay, his son, Richard R. Quay, and ex-State Treasurer Benjamin J. Haywood. The trial had been fixed to begin in the court of quarter sessions here on Monday. One result of the rule granted by the supreme court w ill be to carry the trial over l*eyond the term of office of District Attorney Graham, which will expire with the present year. Mr. Graham has been active in pushing the ease, and in asking the court a week or ten days ago to fix an early date for the trial, he expressed to the court a desire to dispose of the case during his official term of office. The delay occasioned by the action of the supreme court will also in all » probability/ have the effect of carrying the proceedings, or at least the conclusion of the trial, beyond the date for the election by the legisla- j ture of a United States senator to ‘succeed Senator Quay, who is a candi- j date for re-elect icu. The legislature will vote for senator on January 17. 1 The defendants are yhrrr|fed with conspiracy, with John S. Htqikins, the enshier of the People's bank of thiis city, who committed suicide in March last, in the misuse of state funds on deposit in* that institution. The senator and his attorney do not. hesitate to admit that their object in securing delay for the trial is to take the case out of the hands of District Attorney Graham. Mr. Graham, they say, is an enemy of the senator, and has displayed gre it eagerness in unjustly persecuting him and his co-de-fendants. TRIED TO PASS THE SENTRY.

COSTLY FIRE IN A MAIL CAR. - —A-. nrtMB Hundred Dollars ItaniBf* Result* from u 0*»rh«it«J Mail Clerk >» lightly Horned. Chicago, Dee. 12.—One of the mail cars of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad was disabled at 1:50 p. m. yesterday by fire"which originated from an overheated store. Th<; car was standing on the Illinois Central railroad tracks at Fourteenth street, when un employe of the railroad noticed smoke pouring from the windows and turned in an alarm. The flames did their work quickly, and, although the fire department was prompt, damage to the amount of $1,500 resulted. Mail Clerk L. F. Fallentine w* slightly burned. ( Two Passenger Train* Corns Together at UtMalBM, Mich. Menominee, Mich.. Dec. 11.—The south-bound and north-bound passenger trains on the Chicago & North- , western railway collided head* j on at 8 a. m., loo feet from the | Menominnee iron bridge. The north- ! bound train, which was two hours | late, had baggage and mail cars, two | day coaches and a sleeper, and carried ■ 75 people. The engines were badly smashed and the tender of the northbound train was covered by the baggage car. A number of the passenger* •were slightly hurt.

TEE HOPE OF THE CONTINENT, Veittra Oualk tli* “Bread-UMket •f the Empire.” . The attention directed to the wheat fields of western Canada during the past year has caused thousands of settlers from different parts of the United States to make their homes there during the past few months. They report that their experience corroborates what had been told them of that wonderful country, and they are sending hadk to their friends most favorable reports. During the past summer a number of Wisconsin and Michigan and Minnesota editors visited western Canada, and the following extracts are from a very flattering letter written to the Germania of Milwaukee by its able contributor. Prof. Sheridan. “The numerous elevators along the line, towering so far above the surrounding country that they may be seen for many miles distant, sufficiently indicate that Jhe chief industry is the growing of wheat. At the village of Indian Head, more than l,odb,o6o bushels of wheat were marketed last year. This was but a fraction of the amount of the same product marketed at the larger cities of Brandon and Regina. At Indian Head the representative of the Germania was told by a farmer that he was about to harvest his third crop of wheat from the farm upon one plowing

given it the fail of 1895; tlhe crops of the current year and of last war having been sown upon the stubble of the preceding crop. This farmer expected a yield of not less than 40 bushels to the acre. The farms are very large. The absence of hills and rocks contributes to making farming on a large scale an easy matter. There was an abundance of evidence that the country surrounding the cities named above is an exten- j sive region of fertile lands furnishing as great an opportunity for cattle raising and dairying as for the growing of wheat.” “We were surprised to find here a rich growth of nearly every species of cultivable plant known in Wisconsin. Various species of trees were growing, showing that its soil and its climate are favorable to the growth of forests. The writer had never seen a more promising growth of wheat, oats and garden ; vegetables than was observed here. | The experimental farm of Wisconsin, ! located at Madison,' produces nothing better." ‘The people along the line of the rail- l road, however,"assured us that w e were still far distant from the northern limit of the wheat growing belt, nod that 5(K) miles farther north, wheat and other agricultural products were cultivated ■ with success. The inhabitants do notJ depend solely upon the growing of w heat, but utilize vast acres in raising cattle. The growing grain and vege- ! tables dhowed that a plentiful supply j of rain had fallen during the current year.” “From this city (Calgary) our party 1 was taken north 200 miles to Edition- J ton, a town of 5,000 people, situated on j the north Saskatchewan riveT. The j country at this point is beautiful, pre- j stnting very much the appearance of ; many sections in central and southern , Wisconsin. The people are engaged in | milling for gold, and in raising wheat, j potatoe6and cattle. Dairying is alsofoi-j k<w ed. This valley seems to be favored ’j with sufficient rainfall to produce a j luxuriant growth of grain and vege-j tables. The soil is^Very fertile and timber is abundant. Fields of wheat were= j observed that promise a yield of 40 i bushels per acre. The many good I farmhouses seen from the railway are j evidence of the prosperity of tjtie set- ; tiers. Edmonton is the terminus of the ■ road and the place where the overland ! expeditions start from for the Yukoij, ; It being about 800 miles from Dawson City.” “The members of the association | made the acquaintance of the Cana- , dians of the Northwest and learned j something of the vast extent of their | territory and of its great resources, j which are destined to make it our most j formidable commercial competitor in j the world’s markets for the sale of agricultural products. We learned that < the northwest territory of Canada, instead of being a barren waste as taught by our geographies of a quarter of a century ago, is capable of sustaining au empire of 50,00!>,000 people.”

Take a newspaper at least 16 Inches long and wide enough to surround the tree. Tie with common • rapping twine at the top to hold in place. No rabbit will ever touch a tree thus treated. You need not remove it, simply cut the string, the paper in most cases will adhere to the tree and serve the purpose of a protector for three years. 1 have Kiefer pears that have been thus wrapped for three years.

taattatlM of u EiprptUn Villa**. ! The country aboutKabboona is, I \ think, the most beautiful id. Egypt. Being the center of the detegrowing in- i dustry, large groves of palms are so numerous as to be almost one contin- j uous forest, broken here and there by J small open patches of bercime and vege- { tables, principally beans, the fragrance j of which in the early spring is delicious, i and, underwrite hot sun and with the ; drowsy hum of the wild bees, makes one long to lie in the shade of the trees and dream forever. The town itself is buried in the midst of a particularly dense j grove, aud on one side is the usual birkeh, or pool of infiltrated water, common to all villages and meaning so much illness and epidemic among the j people. These birkeh are formed by the excavation of the mud with which the houses are built, and, filling with water, they usually become open cesspools into which^l the filth of the village percolates, breeding millious of mosquitoes, as well as malaria. As if j this were not enough, the village ceme- ‘ tery was placed on the brink of the 1 pool, the graves being below the water level; and 1 actually saw women drawing water from the pool for domestic use! Needless to say, 1 touched no water in this village, except that which my own men brought from a distance. ; —It Talbot Kelly, in Century. Many I.nnsuajtes Will Die.
