THE CANAI~-The foolish rumors that
have gained credence relative to the canal,
to the effect that the Company had not the
money to repair it, that it will not pay, etc,
need correction. 1t is one of the most i'm
portant works of internal Improvement in
the country and its great value to CONNER
cial traffic makes it a necessity and most
profitable institution. 1t will be repaired
within month, it is said. A large force
of workmen are already enaged, and 500
more are called for The Company has, it
is said, about S2OO,OOOin cash always ready
for emergency, which is more than enough
to meet its present demands. From 600 to
800 men are thrown out of employment by
the break, and u steamers and $50 canal
barges are laid up. This is in addition to
the large feet of vessels that constantly seek
towage. The abandonment of such a work
costing upwards of 1000 900 to construct
is no more to be thought of than the aban
donment of the Del. r. II.

DEATH OF JAMES RIDDLE.-Rev. James
Riddle, of Brandywine Banks, near Whining
ton, died last Thursday, of heart disease, in
his 10Th year. Mr. II. was well known
throughout the State. file was one of the
wealthiest cotton factors in the country, a
local preacher" in the NJ. +. Church, and in
1866 was the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. lie was not a politician, however,
except for the time of his candidacy. He was
born at Belfast, Ireland in 1903, and came to
the United States in 1927, where he com
menced the business of manufacturing cotton
goods in Delaware County, Pa, in connection
with his brother, Samuel, now of Glen Riddle.
! lie went to Wilmington in 1874 and com
menced business first with partner and finally
under his individual name, and established an
immense interest at the Banks. The property
covers from l30 to l40 acres, with about one
hundred tenant houses. The mills run eleven
thusand spindles, three hundred looms, employ
about two hundred and fifty hands, and manu-
facture about two thousand bales of cottor
annually. Notwithstanding the uniform sue
cess that attended Mr. Riddles business
efforts, he with many others suffered greatly
during the war for want of cotton, while at thu
same time the benevolence of the man wa
displayed to a wonderful extent to his EN-
ployees, especially those who enlisted, after th
mills were stopped The EUery EUeniag says
AS an employer, the fact OF bis having at tn
time of his death, quite number of men VIII
have been constantly in his employment 70
nearly thirty years, is sufficient evidence of tn
amicabe relations which his matured christia
character enabled him to sustain so admirably
A few days before his death, on being visite
by MIR. John Wood, manager of the mills, Nj

THE PEACH CRoP.-How immense this crop
would be this season, were it full one, can
hardly be imagined. Tuesday of last week,
the day before the break, the shipments amoun-
ted to 1913 carloads, which were the heaviest,
with but one exception, ever shipped over the
road. The largest shipment ever made in one
day was 223 car-loads-in 1871. When we re
fleet that the most extensive peach growing
region, St. Georges and Appoquinimink Hds.,
is not shipping peach, and that Kent county
is not sending away more than one-ffth the
quantity shipped last year, we can form some
idea of tie rapid increase in the tillage of this
crop. A very large proportion of this year
shipments are from the lower part of the Pc
ninsula, a section that has come into the mar.
ket for the first time. The season had not
reached its height when this heavy shipment
was made. Had not the break occurred in the
railroad it is probable that the shipment,
would have reached the highest figure ever at
tanned.

THE PROsPECT.-It is thought trains will
be running regularly on the Del. road in day
or two. They would have been running yes
terday, but another calamity has befallen the
road. The temporary trestle bridge in course of
erection across the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal break, tumbled down Monday morning,
while a number of men were at work upon it,
Thomas Ferry of Baltimore, was killed, and
seven others were severely injured. The other
workmen escaped by jumping into the canal
Men were set at work to repair the damage on
Monday afternoon.
Mr. Mcguire, section boss at Clayton, reports
the breaks all re paired up to the canal.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROwNING.- MIR.
Alexander Moody, who lives on one of Mr..
Wm. Polk farms near Odessa, met with a
narrow escape the night of the flood He was
crossing the causeway which leads to the
bridge over Drawers Greek, on the road from
pair of mules to peach wagon belonging to
MIR. Polk. The cauSeway was flooded to the
depth of three or four feet, but Mr.. Moody,
thinking he could ford the water, drove into it..
He made very good progress for while, but a
sudden rush of waters struck his team and it
was carried down the stream. The mules were
drowned, and Mr.. Moody only saved himself
by clinging to the wagon body which was car.
ried down the creek until its progress was
stopped by some obstruction against which il
lodged. MIR. Moody was compelled to remain
in his perilous position until five o'clock next
morning, when he succeeded in reaching the

THE MAILs.-There seems to be a general
disposition to censure the Railroad Company,
or whoever is responsible, for the delay in the
mails by reason of the railroad break. For
five days the Peninsula was without u mail, and
it Is not known but that the delay would have
continued had not the Postmaster General been
telegraphed to to relieve US ofthe dilemma. |;
is said the kilograms besieged the p. o. Dept
until the delay was remedied. From this dis
tance from the scene it cannot be understood
why the stages could not have been sent ou
tn, next day, if the effort had been made
They were not sent, however, until Saturday
when two 'four-horse teams left Wilmington
heavily laden, and reached Middletown tina
evening and Townsend on Sunday. On Mon
day the train took it at that point, and relieved
US of our isolation and suspense. The fcelin
seems to be that there was unwonted neg
lect in the matter, to use mild term. Eve
south OF US there was no mail from below, o
Saturday, there being no route agent ON tn
train, yet is understood that two were dow
the road, Mcosrs. Lewis and Nichols.

MURDEROUs AssAULT-JacOb Levy, the
iandlord OF the hotel at Bowers Beach, was
severely beaten with a club in the hands of
stout negro on Saturday week. A large num-
Der OF colored people were on the beach,
celebrating their annual holiday called Big
Saturday" Mr.. Levy was attending bar,
when black fellow came in and afser getting
a drink put the tumbler in his pocket. Refu-
sing to give it up, Mr.. Levy proceeded to
enforce his demand with a club, when his
weapon was turned against himself in very
discoraging manner. The coorel party is
under arrest.-DelaWdreda

SHIPPING THE PEACHES. On Thursday
last the peach growers in this vicinity, after
their shock from the railroad calamity, COM
menced TO solve the lamintable shipment prob
lem. Many shipped to Collins and Bombay
Hook, but soon the Pilot Boy was overloaded,
and manifested little accommodation ut best !;
much of the finest fruit of the season was left
to rot on the wharf At once attention was
turned to the Bombay Hook road The track
was completed on the pier on Saturday even
ing, while peach train from the Md. Il Del.
road stood waiting, and the John Nelson, an
odd looking but commodious steamer, from
Phila., formerly used to transport cars across
the river between that city and camden)
mooved to the pier as the last spikes were be-
ing driven to finish the track Many of our
citizens took passage on the peach train to see
the work completed. The work of transferring
the peaches from the cars to the boat was al
once commenced, and on Sunday morning the
first boat load went to the South Jersey road
where the fruit was again reshipped, and again
at Sandy Hook, for New York. Some OF oul

OF Prof F. c. Hathaway, Principal of the
Morrisville Graded School and member OF
the State Board of Education, which &C.
CURED on Sunday afternoon, the 9th inst,
at bis home in Hardwick. His health had
been failing for several months, owing to q
tumor in the side, which, together with q

CENTAuR LINInKNr.-There is no pain
which the Centaur Liniment will not relieve,
no swelling it will not subdue. and no lame
ness which it will not cure. This is strong
Language, but it is true. Where the parts
are not gone, its effects are marvellous. 1t
has produced more cures of rheumatism,
neuralgia, lock jaw, palsy, sprains, swell
ings, caked breasts, scalds, burns, salt
rheum, ear ache, &c upon the human frame,
and of strains, SPAWN, gals, &C., upon ami
mails, in one year than have all other pre-
| tended remedies since the world began. 1t
is nter-irritant, an all-healing pain re-
lever. Cripples throw away their crutches,
the lame walk, poisonous bites are rendered
harmless and the wounded ate healed with
out scar. 1t is no humbug. The recipe
is published around each bottle. 1t is selling
as no article ever before sold, and it sells
because it does just what it pretends to do.
Those who suffer from rheumatism, pain
or swelling deserve to suffer if they will not
use Centaur Liniment. More than 1000 GER
ti6cates OF cures, including chronic rheuma-
tism, gout, running tumors, &C., have been
received. We will send circular containing
the recipe, gratis, to any one requiring it.
One bottle of Centaur Liniment is worth one
hundred dollars for spawned horses and
mules, or screw-worm in sheep. Stock
owners, this Imminent is worth your attention.
! No family should be without Centaur Lini-
ment. j. B. Rose & Co., Now York.
