FRUIT DRYER BURNED.-On Wednesday

working nicely not a half hour before, two

in case of danger. But the fire broke out
in the upper part of the building in place
not at all expected and was at once beyond
their control. dozen or more men were
on the ground almost as soon as the alarm
was given, and the great anxiety was t.

TIE directions for holding the pri-
mary meetings and selecting delegates
to the State Convention as directed by
the State Central Committee does not
meet the approval of the Executive Com
mittee of New Castle County which is
uuder the control of the Higgins-Pickles
faction, and they have determined to fol-
low the former mode rather than the plan
as directed by Chairman Cannon. To a
locker on there would seem to be no
material difference in the plans, and no
occasion to raise an issue. AS the New
Castle County Committee have determin-
cd to take. their own heads, there is a
probability of having two sets Of dele
gates in the Convention. There is moth
ing unreasonable in the plan proposed by
State Committee. In fact it is much less
liable to partizan abuse than the former
mode, and unless constructed as a menace
in being put forth at this particular juno
ture, has as it would appear, nothing il
it to condemn. There is want of wisdom
somewhere.

brought before a competent and impair

the case. If Mr.. Higgins purposes tc

The Republican party of Delaware is
suffering for want of disinterestednsss.
At present it is in the clutches of faction
lists who are trying how near they can
squeeze the life out of it. The wonderful
vitality it manifested in assumming new
life in the spring is vitiated by warning
factions ere the " dog days" are reach ed.
Who is Higgins, or who is Bird, or who
is Cannon, that the party should be run in
their interests? When men like a John

excuse for rallying under an individual

Missing Bonds.
The following letter has been written to
Secretary Sherman by Second Auditor Ferry :
''In reply to your oral inquiry ] have the
honor to report that in December last it was
discovered that 81, 40 in money and bonds,
including interest, were missing from the
safe of this office. A thorough investigation
established the fact that the funds had been
auditor. who died in 1879. There is no evil
dence that single dollar of the missing funds
belonged to deceased soldiers. On the con-
trary, the bulk Of it consisted of bonds taken
from soldiers of the draft rendezvous in 1864
and 1865, on security against their descrtion.
The fact that names of some of these soldiers
cannot be found on the muster rolls on file in
this office, and that no application has been
made for the bonds, either by soldiers them
selves or their representatives, leads to the
conclusion that the men were bounty
jumpers.
Chief Brooks of the Secret Service, who is
still investigating the case, saws it is impossi-
BILE to tell where the money went. He sus-

Herring was in the hands of blackmaicrs
