Harbor school Miss Ada Halt Pickle Salters Sue a Farmer for Breach of Contract A Queer Phase of the Business. Greenlawh, L. September 4 A suit was brought to day by the Arm of Alart Ma guire, salters of pickles here, against John Roesch. a farmer, for non fulfillment of his contract. It is the first of its kind to be brought, and if the firm is successful it will probably lead to other similar suits.

Roesch had contracted with Alart Maguire to furnish them his pickles at $1.25 per thousand. The crop was small and naturally the price advanced, ranging from $2 to $3 a thousand. It is alleged that Roesch and several other pickle growers entirely ignored their contract and shipped their pickles to the New York i market, even going so far to escape being caught doing this as to drive across the i island and ship their pickles from a south side depot. Tho salters claim that In yeai gone by they have always fulfilled their agreements by paying the contract price, oven when pickles were a glut on the market and were selling as low as 30 cents a thousand. On the other hand, the farmers claim that when pickles were low the salters werj extra particular regarding the pickles received, demanding them to be a uniform size and throwing out any which were slightly crooked.

In the case now being brought it is claimed by Roesch that the pickles which he shipped away belonged to another member of his family. Every plan imaginable hus been entered into this season by the farmers to break their contract so that they could send their crop to the city and sell them at the advanced price. One farmer hit upon a novel way. Tho contracts entered into make arrangement for paying as follows: One third of the purchase price on delivery, one third at the end of the season and the balance the first of the year. It is very unusual for the farmer to ask for the first payment, rather letting it remain and receiving the two thirds all at one time.

This farmer delivered a load of pickles and after unloading requested the first payment. The one receiving the pickles replied that he did not have the money with him and he would have to wait until the owner returned. This wis enough for the farmer and he considered the contract broken on the pait of the buyer, and so the remainder of his crop he shipped to Now York. Double Profit in Alfalfa Clover Culture. The profits, In growing alfalfa clover may be doubled by keeping bees in connection with the same.

Alfalfa is the best honey plant now known, not only in quantity but quall ity. The semi arid region" of the West 13 the natural home for this plant, but It seems to grow and thrive almost anywhere. The product in honey gathered by bees from alfalfa clover may reach from two to five hundred pounds per acre. This alone, at the present prices of honey, would be worth more, or at least as much, a sthe crop itself. It is true that much depends upon the man agement of the crop as to its value in honey production, the same is true as to its crop value.

If handled as to produce the best results as a feed crop. It Is always in the best condition to furnish honey. If it is cut before it blossoms it is of no value as a honey crop, and neither is it of value as a feed crop. The harvesting may be clone to get th best results in either, by cutting a portion at a time, just: as it becomes ready, thereby having fresh bloom almost constantly, which would of course, be necessary to get the best results in honey. Alfalfa will furnish honey during dry and droughty weather, when all other blososms are entirely up as to their nectar producing and will continue right through a severe drought.

Wisconsin Agriculturist. Results of a Practical Celery Test at Woodhaven. A practical celery test has been conducted under the auspices of the New York Market GardenerB' Association on tho farm of H. C. Oamden at Woodhaven.

This was done to get at the behavior of various kinds of celery seed under like conditions, owing to the loss sustained by the poor quality of a certain brand and variety of seed ulanted in 1892 3. The interesting results are published in a Duiietin which the assoc ation will furnish free to all applicants who apply for It, ad aressing zsi sixth avenue. New York Citv. It offers to furnish free samples to other market gardeners wlio wish to continue experiments of the different seeds. These market gardeners hold that the disclaimer warranty clause is perfectly justifiable and necessary for the responsible and thoroughly honest seed grower and seedsman.

There have been many failures both in germinating and productive results from tho same seed that proved to be of the best quality In other growers' hands. In all such cases seed growers and seedsmen must be protected against ignorance or conditions that have arisen. Aside from the merits of the particular instance or variety In dispute (the court dismissed a test case), the general proposition will be acceded to by both growers and dealers that the non quaranty clause of seeds should not cover the substitution (either intentionally or carelessly) of an inferior seed for a more desirable and valuable kind. ST. DOMINIC'S FAIR.

Baltimore, Washington and Old Point Comfort. Mayor Gleason Steals a March on His Board of Health IN" CLOSING A PUMPING STATION The Supply of Water Shut Off From the Bteinway Section of Long Island City, Giving th.3 Key of tho Situation, to tha Mayor's Wooclside Water Company. Mains Being Laid to Supply Large Corporations. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L. September 4 The wily mayor of this city has apparently stolen a march on the members of the Board ot Health, of which by virtue of bis office he is the In spite of his ex offlcio position Gleason did not recognize the board until a few days ago.

He refused to attend the meetings because the members of the board were holdovers from tha Sanford administration and had tried hard to oust him. Since the Sanford commissioners beat him in the courts Mayor Gleason has not presided over their meetings, nor did he pay any attention to their proceedings until Its members, comprising James Comipky, Joseph Cassidy, William W. Wright and Drs. Wllljam J. Burnett and Otto Mulot, met and passed resolutions on the strength of an expert analysis of the water supplied by Pumping Station No.

2 at Steinway, condemning the water and directing the board to disconnect and shut off the wells. The Mayor was cuick to take action, and as he Is also, by virtue of his office, president of the Water Board he called the latter together and had a resolution passed ordering the wells of Pumping Station No. 2 to bo disconnected and the supply of water discon tined and stopped and the services of all unnecessary employes dispensed with. The action ot his political opponents of the Health Board in closing the wells in the Steinway section was apparently an opening chance for the Mayor's Woodside Water Company, the history of which was told in the Eagle of August 27. This company now has things its own way, for with No.

2 pumping station shut down the company has the key to the main supply of water to the residents of the upper section of the city, and it is said that the city authorities will now be forced to compromise with the Woodside Water Company. Another phase of the closing down of the pumping station Is that it affects the New York and Queens County Railway system and the Illuminating and Power Company, both companies also being notified that as the pumping station at Steinway had been shut down by order cf the Board of Health the Water Beard could not continue its former water supply and that an adequate water supply could no longer be furnished. The Woodside Water Company has been engaged laying mains on Flushing avenue in the direction of the power hcuse of the railway company and will doubtless be ready to furnish a supply. Mayor Gleason denies his connection with the Woodside company. BAYVILLE BRIDGE REJECTED.

Chief Engineer Piatt Four.d Fault With Contractor Mara's Work. Bayville, L. September 4 At a meeting of the town board of Oyster Bay here to day Civil Engineer Charles H.

Mara of Flushing, was Just finished and the meetine of the board was for '(he purpose of inspecting the bridge and if satisfactory of accepting It for the When advising the board again the acceptance of the bridge End" flatt, who drew the plans. iha particulars In which the contractor had failed to live up to his agreement. He claimed that the braces between the spiles were of the wrong kind and either had not the strength they ought or were of such a character that they would not last long. The guard, or hand rail, Mr.

Piatt claimed, was of rougih joist and not of smooth planed wood, as it should be. The bridge is of the center pier pattern and spans an inlet through which the water often rushes with great rapidity. The cost of construction will tie about $6,000, most of which was raised by subscriptions from residents or Bayville and Oyster Bay. the two villages which will derive the most benefit from it. "Oyster Bay town will maintain the bridge and keep It in repair after its acceptance.

SOFT COAL IN I. N3 ISLAND CITT. Long Island City, L. September 4 Mayor Gleason has started in to renew the fight against the Long Island Railroad Company's engines burning soft coal within the limits of this city and he sent the following communication to President Baldwin this afternoon: Dear Sir This is to notify you and tout company that its use of soft coal for fuoi witnin out rity's limits creates a. public noisanco and is unlawful, and should lie stopped at once.

The combustton ot oft coal produces a very offensive smoke, which pollutes the atmosphere and is dangerous to life and health within um city, and injurion" to property and prejudicial to public travel.

Benefits Deformed Children Derive From a Season on the Sands at Long The Home for Crippled Children on the ocean side at Long Beach is a unique charity. If it may be called a charity, it is a seaside home rather than a poorhouse or hospital. The idea originated with Dr. J. W.

Hegeman and the Long Beach Association gave him the use ot as much land as he might require. Arrangements were also made by the Federation of Churches in the Fifteenth Assembly District to provide for the children. The experiment was tried last year and a few children were sheltered in tents. The benefits to the sick and deformed were so marked that it was resolved to build more commodious and substantial quarters for them. The present building was then designed and other buildings will be added as required.

The institution is only partially supported by contributions as the parents of the children are expected to pay a nominal sum toward their maintenance and for medical services. Every morning the children assemble to repeat the Lord's Prayer and sing their little hymn, "Father, we thank Thee for the night." The children breakfast on cereals, stewed fruits, bread, milk and cocoa and dine on meat, fish or eggs, vegetables, puddings or fruit, and for supper have hearty and nourishing food like the breakfast. Every morning and evening the children either walk or are carried to the pools of salt water in front of the home or where the sea will permit to the surf for their salt water OCEANS1DE HOME FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN.

At present only a few children can be cared for at a time, but the marvelous curative effects of the sand and salt water is creating such an Interest among the parents of tho children, it is evident that the accommodations will have to be greatly enlarged another season. It is Dr. Hegeman's intention to make the home strictly non sectarian and receive only such children as are afflicted with some sort of disease or are deformed and whose parents are unable to properly care for them.

The home idea will be preserved and tho children will be kept in groups of not over a dozen In order make the kindergarten work effective. LABOR DAY SPORTS. Good Ground, L.

Driggs, who seeks the nomination of county treasurer and is caking a fair and earnest fight for the same, thinks he has been unjustly criticised in his home ward, the Twenty ninth, in relation to his, action in withdrawing from the Shepard organization. Mr. Driggs is referred to by his friends as a Jeffersouian Democrat and has always favored the puro in politics. He Is one the foremost residents of Flatbush and desiivs that the voters shall know just how he stand.

He remarked last night that he was surprised and very much pleased to learn of the very able leaders in all parts of the city who bad pledged him their support. In relation to his withdrawal from the Khopardites, he said he had done only what ho deemed best fur good government, and added: "In consequence of the unjust and unfair comments iiat h.ive been made in relation to my resignation from the Shepard organization, 1 would say I left the Independents simply and solely because 1 considered that all Democrats who cared for the Democracy and believed iu her fundamental principle, economy in public affairs, should aid and assist the regular Democratic organization In every manner possible. It seemed to mo ihat the time for holding aloof had ceased and that the hour for earnest and hearty assistance and co operation had arrived. It is a well known fact that where there. has been a material dispute or a disagreement upoti any subject, reconciliation is impossible without conciliation, and in this case the conciliation was offered by the greater to the through the medium ot an open enrollment, and certainly this was extending, most heartily, the right hand of fellowship and esteem.

I fully intended accepting the invitation at this time, but on account of a flight misunderstanding did not enroll until the Monday urnocling the open enrollment so I am now intend to remain, a member of the roiiiih District Regular Do rtiocratic Association of the Twenty ninth Ward. In relation to the coming campaign I have nothing to say excepting that I believe the Democratic leaders are too wise and shrewd to make any mistakes and I am firmly convinced that the Democracy, the united Democracy march ing on to one of the greatest victories of its history."

NEWS FROM THE SUBURBS. How Bath Beach Tradesmen Are Victimized by Summer Hotel and Boarding House Keepers. With the waning of the summer season at Bath Beach, when the hoarding house ltecpers are beginning to leave, comes the wailing of local tradesmen, who have been victimized to the extent of hundreds of dollars. This happens once a year at Bath Beach. The tradesmen allow the boarding house keepers to run up big bills and all of a sudden they find their customers missing and they are left to grieve over their losses.

Tho annual exit of poor pay summer people has begun and one tradesman, M. Stern, a butcher of Bay Nineteenth street, is out of pocket already. "Goodness knows how much I will be out at the end of the season." said Mr. Stern to an Eagle reporter. Butcher Stern has been serving a certain family all summer and Monday morning, he says, he learned that they had moved away, owing him for goods sold and delivered.

Mr. Stern vows, however, that he will not trUBt anybody next season. In his Judgment, the class of boarding house keepers and cottagers this year has been a very poor one. It is expected that between now and September 15 the various butchers, bakers, grocers and produce dealers will lose thousands of dollars in the aggregate. The tradesmen are to blame themselves, in nearly every instance, for al lowing the summer visitors to run up bills and at the end of the season they are sorry that they were so anxious to get the new trade and figure that they would have made money by losing it.

There aro some wiser heads among the storekeepers, who have refused to be swindled any more and are doins business on a (strictly cash basis. John Koster, a baker, is one of these. Mr. Koster has lost thousands of dollars In bad debts during the past few years. E.

F. Moloughney, proprietor of the largest grocery in Bath Beach, explained the situation in the following manner: "As a result of my eight years' experience with the people down he re I have come to the conclusion thait the place is to agreat extent a mecca for what are known as 'dead Judging from the tales of woe to be heard from my brother tradesmen and the great demand for the looal lawyers, it seemvs that a certain class of people migrate from New York and Brooklyn to Bath Beach to live at the expense of the tradesmen in the town. Srme of the debtors no doubt intend to meet their obligations when they come down here, but snortly alter their arrival they don yachting caps and duck trousers and begin to live at the rate of $3,000 a year on thoir Incomes. To a great extent this condition or affairs is due to the tradesmen themselves. When a van is sighted in the springtime grocers', butchers' and bakers' clerks rush it to its destination, with a business card in one hand and a pass bcok in the other, only anxious to get an order.

The fact that the Intended customer may have left a string of unpaid hills at his previous stopping place does not figure in the case at all. A dazzling array of furniture and bric a brac captures the tradesmen. If the new comer has two vans he Is sure to got a monthly account. If the tradesmen here were careful a.hout opening accounts with strangers they would find at the end of the soason a larger balance on the risht side of the ledger and Baith Bcaeh would coase to he regarded as 'easy' by the 'dead beats'." Lawyer John C. Rhodes told an Bagle reporter that he had a hig stack of suits on hand against bad i "btors and raid that all of them wore for hills contracted during the summer season T.

D. Bazloy. a butcher on Eighteen th avenue, said: "The tradesmen meot with their heaviest losses at the hanls of the hotel keepers, who come down here with Insufficient money to pay the rent, of the houses they hire. It is an understood thing with some of tho dealers that they don't pet any money until the season Is well advanced. It is really a sppt ulati on on tho se.ttJDti.

The cottagers do not as a rule anything with them In the way of furniture. if they b. ippen to disappear in the middle of the nicht they leave nothing which can be siezed." Martin Roth, a produce dealer who a few years ago was forced to go out of business bpcause of being swindled so extensively, said that he was bound not to bo caught in the same trap a Rain and was clvim; noholy credit. Other merchants were interviewed and all of fhoni said that, they expfted trou hle in a few Mr.

Slorn appears to have the first sufforer this year. The sheriff frequently takes a hand In the game and selr.es furniture in behalf of the tradesmen. Only a few days ago a family named Friedman. whr bad been stopping on Bay Thirteenth sirct, decamped. Mr.

Friedman and had his furniture loaded on vans. The vans got only as far as the raiiroa dopot when were held up anl the furniture was poized lo satisfy a judgment of $100.
