KILLED 15, WUKDED 29.
' Two Cars on an Electee Railway GiU'de
Sear Gloversville, S. Y., With jar
ful Result. .
. . Utica, N. y.; July 5. On an
electric railroad near Glovers
vilie last night there was a col
lision between two cars crowded
with msseneers. bv which 15
persons .were killed and 29 in
jured. For. a distance of four
miles north of Gloversville, the
mountain lake railway, an elec
trie road, connects Gloversville
with a popular place of resort or
pcn;cj?round. As it was the
Fquxth of July the place was
crowed with pleasure seekers.
Last night the cars were filled
with people coming - home'. At
10:30 p. m. at a distance of about
S mUes north of Gloversville
there, was a, collision between
two cars, one bound north and
one bound south. They came
together head on with terrific
velocity. As a result the 15
persons were killed outright and
29 injured, the latter more or
less seriously. -As it was a holi
day there were many business
men among those on the cars.
It is impossible to get the names
of all present. City Recorder
Frank C Wood, of Gloversville,
had his back broken and is in a
very critical condition.
Mr. Clarence P Emery I)ead.
The sad message came by wire
Friday night to Mr. F L Emery
that his son Clarence P Emery,
at Bynum, was seriously ill, of
typhoid fever. Mr. Emery se
cured a trained nurse, Miss Mary
Winecoff, and hastened for. his
' V '
bedside, but congestion of the
brain sat in and he passed away
at 4 o'clock a. m, this July 5th.
Mr. Emery was 30 years old and
had a wife and one child.
Mrs. Emery was Miss Evie
Kime, of. our city, and many
hearts grieve in sympathy with
her and his parents in this sore
affliction.
Wormj In Apple Treei.
Editor Home and Iarm:
I will give my experience .withj
worms in apple trees. In the
fall of 1901 I noticed one tree
that seemed dead except about 4
inches on one side. I picked all
the worms out above the ground.
I then . raked -the earth 'back
down to the, roots, put one and a
half gallons of slack lime round
the tree, put water on itf and
raked the efrth back over the
0-
lime. It has been doing well
- m
ever
since.
Last spnnr I
9 otfted another tree. The apples
I on it were about fhe sh of yor
thf mb, the leaves were turing
yellow and iallinf off. treated
it in the same way as before,
and the leaves and apples all
fell off, and tnen it put out new
leaves, and now it is in bloom
' and looking well.
