course was the only salvation of the lives OF
those on board Some distance from the
shore he esped a scow anchored and to-
ward this he steered, nearly reaching it,
when the rapidly rising water put out his
fires and his craft was then at the mercy of
the waves, but a brave swimmer, with a
small line fastened tc his body threw him
self into the sea for brave struggle to
reach the scow and thus save the lives of
those on the rapidly filling yacht After a
desperate effort he succeeded in getting on
board and soon the yacht was pulled along
side and the party and crew safely trans
ferred, though a fearfully heavy sea was
running at the time. The point of special
merit in this case and the one to which can
be largely accredited the fact that no lives
were lost, is the unusual GOODNESS and OK
treme self possession displayed by all on
board the little steamer-ofiicers, crew and
passengers. The comparatively small
number of the party-44-of course rem
dered it less difficult to prevent a panic
than would have been the case with lar
ger vessel crowded with passengers, but,
small as it was, the result would have been
far different had any Of the party given
way to fright or excitement As it was, all
kept their heads level, and a drenching
from the rain and the loss of some personal
effects were all that came of the danger
that at one time threatened death to all on
board. The result carries with it its own
moral, and it is one that is especially yalu-
able just at the beginning of the excursion
season. In the vast majority of cases like
this escape from danger and disaster is sim
ply question of GOODNESS and presence of
mind

Delegate Meeting.

At the Democratic primary meeting
held on Saturday afternoon last Ia
elect delegates to the State Convention
which metin Dover yesterday. 4 very
lively contest was inaugurated and an
excessively large vote was pOlled for
such an election. The fight ostensiblv
was to settle the question rs to whom
the delegate from this end of the coun-
ty to Chicago should be, but the strug-
gle in reality was one for the leader
ship or control of the party in the
Hundred. The result of the contest
two years ago in this Hundred was not
at all satisfactory to the vanquished
wing of the party, and they have been
waiting for n chance to show their
strength, claiming that then they were
taken unawares. Saturday they
deemed their golden opportunity. and
the result did not disappoint them, for
out of a total vote of 26j they received
an average of 10, or about 90maioritv.
This showing under" of the faction
that was 50 decidedly successful two
years ago was 10 them most uucx-
pected circumstance. aud a result
freighted with no little bitterness of
feeling toward the winning faction for
reason Of the individual interests and
aspirations that have suffered defeat
with the vanquished forces. Bnt. since
time is the great healer, aud since the
majority at Saturdays election was
such decided one, and as there vet
remains months before election day. il
is more than probable that a pow-wow
will be had, differences adjusted and
things generally swectcned up before
the 4th OF November. The following
is the list Of Delegates elected: Robt.
Hill, VIM. Polk Cummins, w. l.. Hall.

Death Of samuel y. Nneucer.

Early on Monday evening last sam
uel +. Spencer, who has been confined
to his bed for some weeks with con
sumption, let 60 his hold on mortality
and passed quietly into eternity. Mr..
Spencer was born in the upper part of
New Castle county, and when but a
boy came to Smyrna and apprenticed
himself to Samuel p. Wright to learn
house carpentering. Benga quiet. un-
assuming, but attentive and indus
trlOus lad, he quickly won the esteem of
his employer and his family, with
whom he boarded After serving ont
his apprenticeship he worked as "A
jOurncyman for few years and then
formed II partnership with G. Henry
llackett in the house Carpentering bus
mess This firm was in existence only
a few years, when Mr.. Spencer then
began business on his own account
While yet young man he married
Miss Amanda Sharp, and her father
(William Sharp, of this town., being a
millwright, he concluded to take up this
branch in connection with his trade rs
carpenter, and accordingly associated
himself, not as a partner, however.
with Mr.. Sharp for this purpose. Mr..
Spencer was a thoroughly efficient
carpenter and his services were alwavs
in demand. As n wright he ac-
quired large reputation and did much
work in this line both in the State and
on the Eastern Shore The last lob of
work indeed that he did was i'm this
department ut Wyoming. Mr.. Spencer
very early in his manhood though
after his marriage, while away from
home ut work on building contract
that he had, became deeply concerned
upon the subject of religion, and was
converted Ia n Baptist meeting. He
did not connect himself with the
church at once, but later Joined the
Methodist Church Of this town. and |
was a consistent and faithful member
thereof till his death. Life with Mr.. |
Spencer was one of toll, but by dint Of |
well applied industry and economy he |
accumulated considerably more than a /
livelihood. He owned the house in |
which he lived and leaves his widow /
tairly comfortable. Twice during the |
war was he drafted and at the earnest
solicitations Of those mt home procured |
substitute, he finally however yielded |
to his patriotism and went ont with |
the 100 days men. lie was man of /
an exceedingly quiet and unobtrusive
temperament and of the soundest in. /
tegrity. lie died triumphant in the
faith In which he had lived. He leaves
u widow and four children, the vounp-
est Of whom is Ii years old. MIR.
Spencer was in his 53rd wear. His
funeral occurs tomorrow at . O'Clock

THERE is no one agricultural implement
that has received more attention on the part
of inventors than the reaping machine
and it is likewise true that there is none
that has been more improved than this one.
Beginning with the rude invention of Mr..
Mccormick in 1916, and which was not
perfected SO that it would work ut all till
1894, we have attained to the degree of per-
fection belonging to the numerous twine
binders now in the market. The selfbind-
ers are all combined machines in the sense
that they cut and bind the grain into
sheaves ready for the shock, in one opera
ton. Compared with the single reaping
machine they are cumbersome, complica-
ted. heavy as to draft and expensive To
meet these objections Gf they really be OBJ
jections) Il Mr.. Hubbard has invented, and
finally perfected, a Cleaner and Binder,
whose Office it is to follow any sort of
reaper, pick up the swathed grain add bind
it. At Il trial of harvesting machines made
at Moorestown, n. j., much favorable COM
ment was made upon the success of this new
invention. On our first page we give an
account of the trial Aside from the mer-
its Of its work it claims much for its sim
plicity and cheapness as compared with
the self binders. If it really be the mer-
itOrious implement claimed for it, our en-
terprising dealers will doubtless soon have
them fof the inspection and trial of our
farmers.

The strawberry season is now over
and the growers faces fairly beam with
delight as they tell you that it has been
a very successful crop. The Weld has
been good and prices very fair. In
some instances the yield and the prices
obtained have been extraordinary
We have heard of two or three parties
whose berries brought on an average
from l5 to 20 cents, and there are few
II any whose nett profits will be less
than or cents per quart. Some of
our growers say that their crop will
nett them over 5000 per acre. These
instances of course are rare, but the
crop as such has paid and that hand
somely. The berries have been this
year unusually fine in size, color. and
flavor especially, and have carried up
well, enabling the commission men to
get good prices for them. Raspberries
are now going in, and in about two
weeks they will give way to blackber-
ries, the prospect for which crop some
OF our growers say never was finer.
Asa consequence ofthe very remunera-
tive strawberry crop, and the prospec-
tive berry crops yet to be gathered, to-
gether with the magnificent peach
prospects, a Delaware fruit grower
wears rs pleasant face as any man i'm

OUR worthy cotempOFary the Morning
Ne,cs, in referring to the TINES recent ar
ticle on the whipping post, not only does
not believe that this implement Of punish
ment is, as the TINES said, our sheet anchor
against petty crimes, but on the contrary.
the Inference can readily be drawn from
the tone Of its comments that it believes il
to be rather an incentive or inducement to
petty crime, since it cites us to the neigh
boring counties Of Cecil, Kent, Caroline
and Queen Anne's, of the Eastern Shore.
and Chester, Bucks ard Lancaster. Of
Pennsylvania, for rareness of petty crimes,
and lays stress on the fact that in none OF
these counties is the whipping post to be
found. Our cotemporary certainly does
not forget that the judges Of our courts as
cribe to the effects Of rum drinking three
fourths, and some go so far as 10 saw nine
tenths, Of all the crimes committed. and
that the Eastern Shore counties namedare
local option counties, while our own little
Delaware is still held in the grasp of the
liquor traffic Big Frank and his gang
while incarcerated at New Castle some
years ago for their efforts on the Bank
Of Delaware, said they had never been so
disgraced in their lives as when publicly
whipped in the New Castle Jail yard No
less an authority than the Chief Justice
himself commends and says Of the whip
ping post that its effect is good in retarding
the growth Of petty crimes While the
TINES has not gone over the Jail records in
order to be thoroughly accurate on the sub
ject, it nevertheless knows that the opinion
commonly prevails, and no where more
strongly than in the county towns, that,
as rule. criminal does not bare his back
the sac0nd time.

The Philadelphia Recoyd in making up
ITS review Of the week on Saturday last does
not give very encouraging outlook for the
farming Interests at least, 50 far as the GER
cal products are concerned, and in conclud-
ing It's review it says that 'the general drift
OF the values in the grain markets has con-
tInued downward. The wheat harvest has
begun in Southern Missouri, and with f.v-
orable weather is likely to commence in
Kansas, Delaware, Maryland and some
other localities Bext woek The general
average condition Of both Spring and Win
ter wheat continues high, and large in
crease over the yield Of last year is now
assured. The near approach Of the harvest
has influenced free sales Of "long" wheat
and considerable short selling in all mar.
kets, which have caused a general decline
IN prices amounting to about two GEMS for
the week. Exporters have bought moder-
ately Of Spring wheat and there is still a
good deal Of inquiry for prompt shipment.
but the declining tendency Of prices on this
side qf the ocean and larger arrivals abroad
have caused reduction in shipper limits.
which makes it more difficult to effect sales
at the close, An early movement Of new
crop Is generally anticipated The Ameri-
can visible supply has decreased 10000
bushels, but the amount aloat for Great
Britain and the Continent Is 100 900 busb-
els larger than a week ago, so that the stool,
IN sight on sea and land is nearly 1000 900
more than last week. The price Of corn
has declined about one cent owing to the
rne crop prospects, continued liberal re-
eeipts and general lack Of activity in the
speculative and export demand. For the
hFst time 10 many weeks tbs United States
visible supply has failed 10 show q decrease
The stock ahoat IS 10000 bushels larger
than week ago. Arrivals Of corn IN all
markets continue to show a large percent

THE subject of fire escapes, though hay
ing received much attention from inventors
is still worthy of much thought and labor
as the numerous inventions in this line are,
as yet, all defective The latest device for
this use is a newly patented invention COM
prising GO feet of wire cable, and travel
Ter or brake. to which is attached Il belt for
placing around ones body just under the
arms, the belt also having snaps by which
to attach small pieces of baggage or other
articles if desired The cable is attached to
the window casing with a pointed thumb
screw, and the speed of descent can be con-
trolled by the brake or traveller The
weight of cable and attachments is but six
pounds, ..and the cable will sustain weight
of 600 pounds.
