The Peach shipments West.

CONFERENCE AT BALTIMORE BETWEEN THE PEACH
GROWERS AND THE B. Il o. OFFICIALS.
On Thursday last Col. wilkins, Of Kent coun-
ty, Nd, and committee Of the Peach Growers
Association, held conference at Baltimore with
Thos r. Sharp, master Of transportation, and n,
Guilford, general transportation agent OF the
Baltimore and Ohio road, in reference to perfec-
ting facilities for transporting peaches to
the West. A car fitted up for the
purpose was shown the committee, with
which they expressed themselves satisfied.
The car In what is known "a "lightning ex-
PRESS" and the interior is arranged very much
as the cars of the p. W. Il B. Co., the capacity
being the same Col Wilkins, however, is OF
the opinion that it surpssses anything of the
kind in use.
The BALTIC. 4 Ohio authorities agree to trans
port the peaches at passenger speed, at rates
less than charged by the express companies.
Time bills Of lading, it is understood, will be
given. The expense of sending peaches to the
large Western cities will range from so to 81
cents per box. Nothing definite was reached,
but another conference will be held next week.
ANOTHER ROUTE TO NEW YORK.
The Bridgeton & Port Norris Railroad is com
petng with the other lines for the transportation
of peaches to New York and Philadelphia. Tc
avail themselves Of it's facilities, however. ship
pers must ferry their fruit across the Delaware
bay to Maurice river where the Railroad Co
haye built pier and otherwise fitted up for tht
trade. Trains will leave the pier 1t 1.20 T. NJ
daily and reach Philadelphia at 8 P. NJ. and New
York at 5 the next A. NJ.

Tie first tilt between the two leading base
ball clubs Of this city, took place at the Schut-
zen Park, Thursday. Tho interest in these two
amateur clubs, each OF which has hosts of
friends drew larger number of spectators than
has appeared at any other game during the sea-
son. The general run OF opinion favored the
Quickstep club, and yet there were many
experienced ase-ballists who were quite as
sure that the Maple Leaf would gain
victory The game was to have been played for
the championship of the State, but the Qniek-
steps seeing the pitcher and catcher OF the Pa

A Letter Containing SIC, 900 Lost for
six Mouths.

The Paterson Press says "The FIRST Ma
tional Bank, OF this city, has had curious and
somewhat troublesome experience with lost
letter. On February 6, last, letter containing
checks etc., to the amount OF S!0, 900 was mailed
from the First National Bank at the Paterson
Postofice, to the Importers aud Traders Ma
tional Bank of New York, the New York agent OF
the bank here. The New York bank failed to
receive the letter, and Of course there was much
anxiety about it on the part OF the Office OF the
First National Bank, which would have been the
loser, il the vouchers were not made good. An
exhaustive search was made in the Paterson and
New York postofces, rs well AZ in both the
banks the search e1tendinG over days, but no
trace Of the missing package could be found.
Now strong appreheneions OF mail robbery
were entertained, and the Government officials
we're impressed with this idea. The First Ma.
tional Bank meanwhile proceeded to make tho
best arrangement it could for avoiding loss.
An extensive correspondencc-the package con-
tanning thirty accounts Of suhdry partics--was
necessary, and indemnify bonds had to he pre-
pared and given by the bank to all these parties;
Finally all was provided for excsp5 about 5000
of pension checks of the United Stated Govern
ment, it taking much longer to arrange that
matter through the diatory process OF tho cir
cumlocution Office, than it did the private ones.
Now comes the curious denouement On July
6-exactly five months to a day from the tinle
the letter was lost-the clerks in tho post Office
in this city had to poke under their stamping ta-
BILE for something that had dropped on the iloorl
| and there snugly lying in a small crack between
| the bottom OF tho table and the floor, was the
missing letter with its SlJ, 900 intact. 1t WAS the
only letter ever lost at this office, and it il lit
tie remarkable that it should have been 30 valu
| able one and should have caused such mn OK
traDrlnary trouble and anxiety.

The Peach Crop.

RAILROAD PREPARATIONS FcR ITS sMovEMENr-oTIR
THOUSAND CARS CONTRACTED FOR.
For several weeks past the Delaware r. II.
has been preparing for the movement Of the
peach crop to market, and the result Of Its work
is beginning to bo apparent in the long lines Of
peach cars which are standing on
the sidings in various places. Already the
growers and lateral branch Railroads have con-
trscted for the extensive use of l15O cars for
the shipment Of fruit to the New York markets.
and some have also been engaged for Philadel-
pha, No ether points are yet provided for. In
the shipments over the Philadelphia Reading,
the Baltimore Il Ohio and other roads, these
roads will, we are informed, be required to fur
nish their quota of cars. The number named
are exclusively for the use of the p. W. 3.
and the Pennsylvania Il. H., which will prob
ably increase it before the season fully opens.
The shipment of the prematures continues,
and yesterday one basket was sent to New York
from Blacltbird. Fnlly matured fruit will proba-
bly, be on by the last of next week, but the chip
ments are not expected to actively open before
from the 1st TO the 5th OF August.
Another meeting of the growers will be held
Mt Midiletowu tomorrow.
