death being asoribsbls to the manifold
infirmities OF old age, rather than to any
specific disease.
lCharles Brown WAS native of New
Jersey, where he was born nearly S6
years ago, his age at the time of his death
being % years, IL months and 10 days.
When boy he went to Philadelphia and
engaged in business. Later he became a
superintendent Of mines in Virginia, but
returning to Philadelphia he was
elected to the Pennsylvania State
Senate, where he figured largely in the
controversy over the governorship known
as the Buckshot war. BE was elected to
Congress- from Pennsylvania In lS41 and
lS47, and during his Congressional career
he formed friendship with Franklin
Pierce, which led the latter when Presi.
dent to make him Collector Of the Port Of
Philadelphia.
formed while he still lived in Phila-
delphia, for one of his early partners in
that city was the father of Congressman
elect Charles b. Lore, the latter bsing
namM for Mr.. Brown, aud subsequently
the late George Paris of Dover
WAS admitted TO partnership.
The firm dealt in wood, and it
rapemany vessels to saw mill landings In
Kent and Sussex counties and Virginia.
Mr.. Brown removed to Dover in 1861 and
in 1868 he was the Democratic cssdidate
for Congress against N. B. Smithers, Esq.
In that year, however, by reason of
the test both the Democrats staid away
from the polls, and Mr.. Browns vote was
but seven in New Castle county and eight
in Sussex, while that Of Mr.. Smithers
was 5, 2l5 in the State.
Mr.. Brown leaves a fortune Of $3.50
or $50, 900, his wealth consisting largely
of real estate. His wife, daughter of
dover Skunk of Pennsylvania, died 10
years ago. lie leaves four sons and three
daughters, one of the former being
member Of the Philadelphia bar.
To-day's Philadelphia Times says of
him "Hs was prominently before the
people during all the political campaigns
in his younger days, and was known
as fluent and forcible speaker. His
voice at mass meetings was remarkable
for its strength and clearness and the
utterancss replete with utilitsrian prn
ciples, which made him popular with the
masses. lie possessed popular manners
without the traits of the demagogue and
was radical Democrat in his political
principles. In his social and domestic re-
lations he was agreeable and con-
scientious land of the most equable dis
position.

DELIGHTFUL EXCLUSION.
The Trip OF the Christiana Presby
ferian Church to Cane May

terrain Church to Cape May.
The excursion of the Christiana Pres
byterian Church to Cape May Monday
was one of the largest and most pleasant
that have taken place this season. Nearly
1000 persons were on board. About 400
were from Wilmington, 600 from Della
ware City and the balance from New
Castle and the surrounding country.
Among the excursionists were the Revs.
Lafayette Marks, d. D., of Hanover
Church, Charles p. Mallory of 0livst and
A. ]. Snyder of Christiana Church. The
water was 30 rough and the wind 80
strong that the proposed trip across to
the Brsakwater was not made and the
steamer, after tearing oil part of her
wheel house and damaging the Cape May
landing by being surged against it,
steamed out and lay at anchor short
distance from shore. For while it YVES
feared she would be unable to
land for her passengers. Owing
to the lowness OF the tide the passengers
on their return were obliged to go down
the gang plank through very small
aperture or climb up on the second deck.
Many of the party were seasick on the
up trip. The boat reached New Castle
at 3 p. M. and the Wilmingtoniaus
arrived home a few minutes beiore 10
O'Clock. Among those VINO greatly con-
tributed to the interest and pleasure Of
the excursiOnists was Miss Vinie p.
Lynch of Mt. Pleasant, who sung num-
Der OF selections in q very charming
manner. Harry Carey aud Lambert V.
Nicholson, both of this city, also enter
tanned the exoursionists with fns vocal
music. Bathing was the CHIEF attraction
at the seashore.

Henry Willard, the Northern Pacific
railroad man, was born in Germany and
WAS a journalist until nearly 40 years
old. Between 1858 and 1873 he served
as correspondent to dozen American
journals. Once, after battle In Virginia,
he rode at break-neok speed to the nearest
railway station, arriving just in time to
see train moving off. He turned his
horse loose and climbed on the rear plat
form of the train. The Chicago Tribune
lost horse but got the news of the battle
ahead of it's competitors. After quitting
journalism Willard went to Oregon and
saw that nature had made only one
passage through the Cascade range, and
that whoever got possession of that gorge
with a railroad would control the traffic
of the fertile belts lying on both sides OF
the mountain wall. He organized COM
pany which bought all the steamboats, on
the river and built railroad along the
south bank of Columbia river through
this pass. Then, when the Northern
Pacific recommended construction, he
went to New York, formed "the blind
pool" raised 100000 in a few days,
quietly bought up the then low priced stock
of the Northern Pacific and walked into
the office of the company one morning tc
tell President Billings that he held q

TILE RIPENING PEACH.


,rnc suppIy of the Prolific Craw-
rord's Late Near ~ an End-Otber
varieties Yet TO Ripcn-4uaItty-
Jersey Competition.
The peach shipments for the past week
from the Peninsula have been great
deal heavier than was anticipated,
which indicates to some extent that the
growers have nder-estimated their crops.
the Crawford's Late which are now being
shipped are yielding heavily, and at the
same time the demand for them is active
and prices good. The growers find much
less difficulty in disposing of their
peaches at profit this year than last.
Last year the market WAS overstooked
and the commission men could not be
induced to handle all the fruit offered
them. This year they are anxious to Be-
cure more fruit than is consigned them,
and nearly all the larger houses have
representatives in the peach district.
The warm weather of last week
brought a great many peaches into the
markets this week, which would
naturally have held on later and kept the
supply continuous ap to the time of the
SHOCKS ripening. This also is taken into
account in considering this weeks big
shipments. In some sections, however,
this effect was not noticed much.
Growers are OF the opinion that the end
OF this week will finish the heavy ship.
ments, but the supply will be fairly kept
up for many days To come.
Crawford's Late will, in the msip, be
marketed during the present week. Next
week several white varieties will be
ready to pluck and the Smocks will also
conmence to bs shipped the beginning
of next week. The yield Of Shocks will
pe moderately large.
The Smock ia the best variety for can.
ming and greater part of the crop will
be purchased by Gamers on the PENN
sula and put up in tins. Many growers
have already sold their Smocks in the
orchard, Gamers paying from 10 to 80
cents per basket delivered at herailroad.
A number of growers state that the
peaches this year are much finer in
quality than those grown year ago.
Last year they were watery, and poorly
favored, while the ripening peach Id just
the opposite in these.
A leading grower says that the ship
ment OF peaches grown in New Jersey TO
the New York markets brought down the
prices OF the Delaware product consider
ably last week. They have not, how
ever, been shipped to points near the
Peninsula and the West and North
western Pennsylvania, and the prices in
those sections have not felt the Jersey
competition. Commission men state that
the New Jersey fruit is poor apology for a
mature Delaware peach, but they are sold
as the product of this State.

Tuesday. They stated that they drove
their horse down 70 the bridge behind the
team OF a gentleman known to the bridge
keeper, and that the latter shut them off

say the position in which they were left
