27S6 car loads, In the first part of
september the shipments Leld out well,
but toward the middle the hue yellow
peaches were those that ripened and
these were much in demand by can

5udd, Land Agent of the Phiiadel phia,
Wilmington " Baltimore Railroad, who
is II practical peach grower, after
careful examination figured the prOba-
Bile yield up at l5O, 900 baskets, or near
| y 800 car loads. Owing to the fact
much truit fell from the trees before
maturing, il thought that the yield will
be fully one third less than that. Com.
pared with the bouutiful peach crop of
last year, when the Delaware Railroad
alone moved some 2,O00,0 900 baskets,
this scanty showing presents "a striking
contrast.
ABOUT THE CROP, SUCH AS 1T Is.
A REPUBLICAN reporter Chatted for
| haif al hour with Mr.. Budd yesterday
afternoon in his office at the depot. He
said that certainly the crop would not
amount to more than 100, 900 baskets.
More peaches are to be found in Kent
county, Maryland, than i'll any other
place on the peninsula. Many trees
are full around Still Pond. Again
in SasSafras neck and in the upper
end of Queen Annes there are peaches.
Some fruit had been expected over
along the Delaware bay shore, near
Odessa and Smyrna, but the orchards
there have not fulfilled expectations.
70 sum up, peaches were only found
along water courses, and in nearly
every instance they We're a good dis

anpton counties, Virginia, but this will
be sold to local Gamers.
Mr. Budd Expressed it as his opinion
hat rDosI of the peaches would 20 to
Ballimore by water or be canned on
the peninsula, and few would reach the
Northern markets II their raw State.
Yellow peaches are scarce and will be
high as they are favorite with can-
ners. White peaches will be plentiful,
comparatively speaking AS a general
thing the peaches are not prime, aud
the market may yet be glutted as is
some times the case with poor season
of poor fruit.
With reference to the injury which
it WAS feared early in the Spring the
trees had sustained, Mr.. Budd said.
that he had observed the peninsula
over that the trees had recovered. The
orowth of rIis year was phenomenal
AMI it was only the old trees that were
in the least hurt

Separated In the IfOneynOon.

The separation Of Mr.. and Mrs. c.
Wesley Ayres in their honeymoon
about three weeks ago, which, was re-
lated at the time, caused Il stir in fash
ionab)e circles in Astoria, has II sad Sc
quel in the death of the young bride
groom at Fire Island, on Monday morn
ing. When his wife abruptly quilted
the Thorburn House, where they were
staying, leaving her wedding ring be-
hind, Mr.. Ayres went home to his
father, Mr.. Theodore V. Ayres, and fell
very sick. AS he grew gradually worse
he was taken to Fire Island, on the oVh
instant, for a change Of air he, now
ever, continued to grow worse until his
death. His body was brought from Fire
Island to the Ayre's residence In AS
toria.
Mrs. Ayres whose maiden ma ne was
Hattie Cole, is well known in New York
city and Brooklyn as a piano-player.
Since the separation she has been most
ly at her fathers house. Owing to
her strange conduct it was her fathers
intention at first, after advising with a
physician, to send her to the asylum
for the insane at Bloomingdale, where
she could have quiet and rest; but he
learned that his daughter could not be
received in that institution unless a
certificate signed by two qualified ply
sicians aud countersigned by Judge Of
II Court of Record was produced cert.
flying to her Insanity. Mrs. Ayres had
become quite herself again before she
received the news that her husband
was dead. This sad intelligence, it is
sail, has greatly affected her. 1t is un-
derstood that it was the intention, rs
soon as the young bridegroom would
permit, to have meeting between
them, with view to reconciliation. Mrs.
Ayres is u years OF age.

A Largo Herd.

A correspondents of The London Mark
Lane Express, writing to that paper
about farming in Illinois, says !:
81 stayed for two days at Elk oart, in
Logan county, with Mr.. Gillett, the
Illinois cattle king. An examination
of this farm and herd is one of the
sights of Illinois, if not Of America
HIS catLlc all told, at present amount
to about 5000 head, besides 600 to go
sucking calves. Mr.. Gi let's cattle
have been bred to a type for beef pro-
ducing purposes for the space of nearly
forty years. The foundation of the
herd are the best sorts of the native
cattle and Short Horn. They now how
ever, represent distinct characteristics
of their own, which, for symmetry,
breadth and evenness of iesh more
nearly resemble the black polls than
any breed have seen, the head, neck
and spring of the tail being of course
quite different.

THE DELAWARE CITY CASE,
No Evidence to shsw that wall
Died ofFoul PIay-CauNe Of the
Wounds.

Delaware City is a hard place to reach
from Wilmington, and q representative
Of the REPUBLrCAN who went there tt
look into the mystery surrounding the
d ath of George Wall yesterday. had a
difficult time. Careful inquiry of all
the people who had anything to do with
Wall showed that the theory that he
had died Of foul play was a groundless
one. 1t also showed that the man had
undoubtedly come to his death by
drowning, and that the talk of foul
play was idle suspicion on par: of hi
relatives.
The body was found about two miles
from Delaware City, whore the canal
widens out. Several small islands are
in the canal, lying partly on one of
these and partly in the water the two
Won Cuin brothers Of Delaware City
found the CHASTITY corpse on Saturday.
They did not disturb it, but went to
Delaware City, and informed Constable
Wingate. The body was removed on
Sunday amt on that day Coroner Wei
din and DR.. Ogle went down and held
the inquest.
The body wa3 removed by w. II.
Bigger, the undertaken al Delaware
City. Mr. Bigger said yesterday tnat
the body was decomposed, and had evi-
dently been in the water several days.
He saw no wound, except a slight in.
dentation above the eyebrow, which
might have been caused by the head
striking against something when the
body was ailoAt. Mr.. Bigger made nc
further examination and saw no marks
on the neck. The skin had turned
quite black. The corpse was not a
pleasant thing to examine.
The. last seen of Wall alive was on
Thursday morning. He had Jumped
into the water at the wharf ON Wednes-
day, when he had the deIirium trrmens,
and had been pulled out of the water by
hi, companion. He then staggered
away, and slept under IA tree all night,
ard on Thursday moraing he went to
the farm house Of William Ellison and
asked for drink of water. 81 want to
give drink 10 him, too, said the man.
His manner was stupid, and who he
meant by "him' is not known. He
was given water twice and tossed it
away td'l bllll'. ElItilNy sum halhlh \
to himself. he staggered away. AS he
went he waved his hands. This vas
the last see n of Wal.
Many of the jurymen had seen this,
ald naturally supposed That he fell
overheard and was drowned. This sup
position is doubtless correct.
Mayor Dunlap says that he had no
intimation Of there being suspected foul
play ur;il the Philadelphia papers be-
gan to talk of it. Hens confident there
has been none, but he will offer every
facility fOr u further examination.
The supposition thai the Delaware
City barber, james Smith, knew some
thing OF the cause of Walls death was
dissipated by the information gener-
ouSly given through the town that the
knight of the razor was "a garrulous,
talkative fellow, very fond of attending
to other peoples business. When he
;oll Henry Wal brother OF the de-
ceased, 10 look for scar on the back of
the dead mans head, it was simply a
repetit,on OF remark he had heard
from crowd Of ioungers WHO had seen
the apparent wound.

Poisoned by LOnd Purple,

A four-year-old son Of Geroge Il. Red
mon, of Unionville, in the town Of
Hampstead, L. l., died recently from
the effects Ofswallowing London purple,
which had been scattered among some
corn thrown near the residence of Mr..
Redmon, and is supposed for the pur-
pose of poisoning his chickens. The
child while playing picked up some of
the corn and ateit. He was soon seized
with violent pains and died in great
agony. After death his body, it is as
serted, turned purple As the cause of
death was known, Coroner Denton re-
garded an inquest unnecessary. The
child's parents and their friends feel
much indignation that no attempt is
being made by the authorities to dis
cover who placed the poisoned corn
where the child found it. District At
torney Downing is to be asked to order
an investigation.

New Castle Mess Of Pottase.
Evening Star Of Yesterday.

Wilmington seems to be greatly trou-
bled about road to the river. Did it
ever occur to our citizens that every
street from South to Delaware avenue
has been vacated, thus cutting off all
approach to our river front except by
the avenue below where the old mill
house stood, now occupied by the Del
aware Iron Works. 1t is becoming
more and more evident every day that
New Castle has bart.red away her birth
rights for miserable ''mess CT
pOttage." As the city expands to the
northwest, its only practical way, the
folly of the vacating of so many streets
running to the river becomes more eri-
dent, and like Wilmington we will
some day, in the near future, be crying
out for road to the river.
