THE PEACH SEASON.
Preparing For a Series of Meetings at
Middleto,Ua- The Gre,vers are Hopeful
-C'Nryeut Gossip.

Preparing For Series of Meetings at
MiddletOacm- The Gre,cers are Hopeful
-CMryemt Gossip.
In view of the very encouraging pros
pests for an excellent crop of peaches, at
least in Kent county, this State, and in
Kent county, Md, the growers of those
sections are beginning to agitate the holding
of series of meetings, such as they held
last year, to prepare for shipment North
and West.
A grower, yesterday, in speaking to a
HERALD representative about the matter,
stated that he with other peach men, had
received every assurance that no peaches
would be grown either in Illinois, Ohio,
Michigan, or other points north, SO that
there will be clear field for Delaware fruit.
He said that although reports from sections
certain that good crop would mature In
and he had but little doubt but fair crop
would be grown south, although certain
sections had been injured.
Those who propose to make the arrange
ments for Western and Northern shipments
were afraid that the extra travel occa-
stoned by the Centennial would interfere
with the growers in making arrangements
for cheap transportation, but he thought
from what could he heard from the P. W.
& B. Company, and Pennsylvania lines,
that as fair, If not more reasonable rates
can be obtained this year, as last. No one
has as yet been authorized to treat with the
railroad companies, but some communica-
tions had been had with the authorities of
one or two companies, and so far as can
now be seen the prospect is good.
The meeting will be held this year some
, what earlier than last, so as to give more
time for arrangements.
If anything should happen hereafter, to
injure the crop to such an extent as to
make the New York, Baltimore and Phila-
delphia markets sufficient, Of course no
meetings for the purpose mentioned will be
held.
There is great hopes throughout the
state that the present crop for many rea-
sons will be remunerative one. The eX-
pertinent Of shipping fruit to Europe will
probably be further tested during the sum-
mer.

DELAWARE AVENUE CHURCH..
Meeting of the Trustees, Last Night--A
General Meeting this EreninO.

Meeting of the Trustees, Last Night--A
General Meeting this EreninO.
A meeting of the trustees of the Della
ware Avenue Baptist Church was held last
evening, at the place of business Of Mr..
Beecher, on Market street, to consider the
proper action to be taken in view OF the
conduct of the pastor, Mr.. Haldeman, who
has refused to preach until the gas bill OF
the church is paid, and who is now at his
home in West Chester.
The trustees held long conference, dis
cussing the interests of the church and cs-
pccially the proper manner to settle the gas
bill. Mr.. Haldcman has not been heard
from, bnt notified the trustees before he
left, that he would not return until the bill
was paid, but as soon as lie was notified Of
the fact, he would gladly resume his labors
with the congregation.
Several methods were suggested, of set
tling the difficulty, and it was finally deter
mined to hold public meeting of the
members of the church and those friendly
TO it, this evening. to commence at half
past seven. The meeting will be purely a
business one, with no other religious cxer-
cises than prayer at the opening. The church
will not be lighted with gas, candles being
substituted in its place. This is probably
out of respect to the opinion of the pastor.
The object Of the meeting will be to raise
the necessary funds to pay off the gas bill,
and there is every reason to believe that a
sufficient sum will be realized, with the al
ready considerable amount donated TO pay
the gas company, and relieve the church of
its dilemma and Mr. lIademan will probably
return to his charge this week. There are
no complaints SO far as we can learn against
the action taken by Mr.. Haldeman.
