A NEW TROUBLE TO THE FRUIT GRowERs-40 CAR
LOADS PERIsHISd ON THE WAY TO MARKET.
The late rains have greatly interfered with the
peach growers in the picking OF their fruit, and
now that this trouble is thought to be at an end
a new one has presented itself. BY the disaster
to the Del. II. II. which is fully reported else
where, shipments will he entirely suspended
for at least two days and the fruit which
must ripen in that time will for the
most part, perish. Forty carloads of peaches
for Philadelphia are now standing on sdings
down the Delaware r. Il unable to be gotten
over the breaches and tho delays which
the trains must sustain will cause the
total loss of the fruit. Picked wet
and packed away in the cars, although we'll
ventilated, the fruit must of necessity rot before
it can be conveyed to market. Twenty thousand
baskets of peaches will be lost from the aggre-
gate of the crop. The New York trains had safe
ly passed over the damaged portion of the Del.
R.R before the first culvert gave way and all the
shipments for that market reached their destina-
tion in safety.
FURTHER SHIPMENTS PROHIBITED.
Orders have been issued to the agents along
the Delaware Il II. not to receive any further
peach freights until further orders are issued

which the challenge had been accepted. With

adjourned to meet at some subsequent time.
There were two or three items OF detail upon
which the committees could not agree. These
were, as we understand them. the suction, the
amount of hose, and the engineers for the en-
gine, The committee on behalf of the Water
Witch Co insisted, we learn that 20 feet of sue
ton should be used, but as the Fame has only
16 feet they could not agree upon this point.
And again the Water Witch proposed TO feet OF
hose and the Fame 25 feet, upon neither of
which propositions could they agree and then
the Water Witch offered to compromise on GO
feet. This is also an open question. It was al

policeman on the spot. 1t was she who first de-

The Terrible storm, I.Hst Night, aud Immense
nnmnRe.

The rain-storm, last night, like many of those
which have recently prevailed, seems to have
been local, and very heavy. Great injury was
done, along the line of the Delaware Railroad,
for thirty miles southwark from Wilmington, the
railroad, itself, and the Delaware and Chesap cake
Canal sustaining zamonse damage. One Of the
worst features is the interruption to the trans
portation Of peachas. Three trains are caught
having on board probably 20, 900 baskets of fruit,
ell OF which will be ruined, involving loss Of
not leps than S2OOOO. But worse than this, il
freight trains are unable to run for two or three
days, al now seems probable, thousa nds upon
Thousands of dollars worth more fruit will waste.
The peaches seem to have had a rough time
OF it, this season, and this is another very hard
blow,
