A despatch from St. Catharines says: The pasttwo weeks have con- firmed the repeated early predic- tions that the peach crop in the Nia- gara. district will be the poorest in many years, notwithstanding the large acreage of young trees that this year should reach the bearing stage for the first time. Such well-known and prominent growers as Major Hiscomt, Jae. Ons- low, Salem Muir, and Jae. Brady of Niagara township unhesitatiingly say that. the peach crop is practiâ€" cally ruined, and that. there will not be five hundred baskets of peaches marketed in the vicinity of Virgil and Niagara-on-therLa-ke. Major Hiscott avers that instead of the usual thousands of baskets that he and many neighbors usually ship growers will not have enough for their own use. Messrs. Onelow, Bernard, Jame-s, Aiken-s, and a. few others along the lake road say they cannot find a single bud in their orchards“ While the failure of the peach crop. will be felt heavily by commis- sion men and transportation com- panies, the blow will fall the most heavily upon the young farmers who have'bought portions of forms at high figures with little capital beâ€" hind t-hem and have devoted _a.ll their land'and energy to growing peaches instead of a mixed crop. Japanese plum-s, too, will be scarce, but a fair crop of standard variety of plums and pea-rs is prom- ised, providing a. few warm days are experienced. The smaller fruits, such as strawberries and raspberâ€" ries, promise well. A. \V. McCubbin, Dominion Plant conditions west of St. Catharin‘es, along the lake shore, found a grow- cr with a peach orchard of from eight to ten acres who offered to take one dollar for his entire crop. * .

A despot-ch from“ Detroit says; Ten men, most of them chemists, were killed by the explosion. of acid and chemicals in the mixing- room of the Mexican Crude Rubber Company, on the West; Side, here on Fridlay.' Four other employes, removed from the steaming debris, were taken 50 a. hospital. Two men were * lees seriously hurt. The building, a one-storey structurelof solid concrete and cement, was :11; most obliterated. Other buildings within a. radius of a mile were more or less damaged. The loss was es- timated at $50,000. Among those who escaped were John H. Evans, superintendent, and John C. Tread- well, manager of the plant. Just what caused the explosion probably will never be ,knbwln. In the mix- ing-room was a large vat of moan rubber being prepared by a secret process. Without a. moment’s warn- ing the building was torn to pieces. Every mam who was in the mixing- room at that moment was killed. The company manufactured imita- tion leather, and, it is understood that other and other explosives were used in large quantities. Because of the secret process of preparing the crude rubber, employee were not allowed to leave their depart; mend; to enter other parts of the plant. Few of the employee knew each other, and it, was some time . before the victims were identified. ___.___-._.>X<.___.._.. NEED FOR RENAL REFORM. National Conference of Charities and Corrections.
