members being present Judge Lott presented TO the
Commissioners set OF terms and conditions governing
the consolidation which he thought. would help 10 har
the conflicting views expressed at the last meet
Ing. The following the main points suggested:
l. Brooklyn and the several towns and school districts

within them selves at the time OF consolidation, and shall
be entitled property owned by them seyeraly and
taxe 10 paw these debts shall levied only these
bodies soveraly but real estate thus publicly owned
shall ONLY be sold BY legislative O. All property
bounded by Fulton. JoralemOn, and Courtsts. shall be
appraised. and shall become the property OF the new
city paid for by its several constituent partthe
present Brooklyn beng credited in tns purchase by the
appraised 3. After consolidation, the pubic prop
erty OF the constituent parts shall be for the common
use. except in where such property produces
revenue when this shall De credited to the constituent

This scheme explained in detail by Judge Lott,
and was received with some favor II was, however.
somewhat bitterly opposed by Mr. Kinsea, who thought
that such a plan would bring 10 real union. He held
that the the towns must be brought Unfairly 1t possible
otherwise if nobut perfect union be insisted
on. Judge Lott driven 10 a renewed explana-
lion He felt that the true method was TO have the
essential property owned in common and the local prop
erty owned by the several sections Adjournment was
finally had TIL Monday Of next week.

ESTIMATED Loss TO THE PEACH-GRowERs BY
THE LATE STORM.

The last regular shipment of peaches over
the Delaware Railroad prior 10 the break IN the Chesa
peake and Delaware Canal consisted Of 1873 carloads.
or 800 baskets The first regular shipment after the
interruption comprised 100 carloads $1,000 baskets
The Wilmington DELI Comnereial says it is fair to pre-
sumo that the shipments would have averaged at least
IT'S or 81 baskets daily had the break IN the
canal not occurred The interruption continued eight
liOo carloads, or 100000 baskets, would have been
shipped during that time. There was however, an at
tempt to supply facilities for shipment by
water but probably not more than one-half
the amount OF fruit sent TO market that
would have been had no interruption occurred.
More fruit went TO than any other city, and
the highest estimate for any day in that city
less than 2 900 baskets From this The Commercial in
frrs that the peach shipments 10 all points did
not exceed $1,000 baskets daily, thus leaving
1900 baskets In the orchards. In eight days the
quantity left In the orchards would reach 100000 baskets
which would probably have returned To the growers
had they been sent TO market The aggregate
loss however, will not be great as ths There are
great many canneries in operation IN the HutgrOwng
district; immense quantities OF fruit have been dried

selves while the consumption by the stills has not been
