TiIden VIII Accent.

New YORK, May 2S.-A Washington
special to the Graphic says: 1t Is now
thoroughly understood here that Mr..
Tilden will accept the Democratic
nomination, and two gentlemen who saw
him in New York reported that he told
them so with irsnkness that they did
not anticipate. One of the congressman
who saw Mr.. Tilden on Sunday last
reports him as saying that, while he
desired to avoid the excitement of the
campaign, which he feels might impair
his health, he is willing to comply with
what appears to be an almost unanimous
call from his party and accept nomi-
nation. He does not conceal his feeling
that second nomination would be the
greatest qualification he could feel in his
declining years, and even If the campaign
should coat him his life, he cOuld not lay
it down in better cause.

men slightly under the influence of liquor, in
a light carriage and driving a spirited horse,
dashed into Company @, one OF its members
narrowly escaping being knocked down and
trampled. The horse WAS turned to the side
of the street when the drunken driver lashed
the animal and drove directly into company
F. The team was Immediately surrounded
and the horse was compelled to stop at the
point Of bayonets.
Major Curtis arrived upon the scene and
was about to order the men back in ranks,
when Mayor Wales, who had seen the whole
affair, ordered the militia to arrest the occu-
pants Of the team. ALI the while the greatest
excitement prevailed, and the driver was
lashing the horse. When their arrest was
ordered, one of the occupants threatened to
draw a revolver and shoot. One of the
militia began loading his gun, and the crowd
pressed thicker than ever around the car
riage. Finally the horse was led down
Market street surrounded by soldiers, and the
young men were lodged in the police station

EFFECTS OF THE FROST.
Peaches Unfnjured on the Peninsula
"A Great Crop Expected.

Peaches Uninjured on the Peninsula
"A Great Crop Expected.
Philadelphia Pr IS special.
SMYRNA, May 39.-Unless some extraor-
dinary circumstances should intervene, the
peach crop Of the Peninsula will greatly
exceed that Of any year since the phenomenal
yield of 1875. Reports from every section
indicate that the fruit was not injured
appreciably by the severe frosts OF last night
and tho night previous. Only once before,
since peaches have been generally cultivated,
has there occurred frost at a later date than
the 10th of May. There was, therefore. on
Thursday, great apprehension lest the crop
might have suffered serious damage.
Such, IL doubt, would have been the case
were it not for the fact that the trees have
foliaged to an unusual extent, the leaves act
ing offectually az a shield to protect the young
fruit from the frost. The cold last night was
not so severe az upon Wednesday night, and
no further fear IL felt iu that direction. The
fruit itself is large and healthy, and in most
localities better colored than for several
years.
As yet no attempts have been made to form
an accurate estimate Of the yield and no such
efforts will be made until after the June drop,
which, according to well grounded tradition,
occurs about the 1st of June. 1t frequently
happens that half of the fruit will drop from
means fair estimate OF the proportion thus
lost, since it is nearly always the case that
from healthy tree in fair season none fall
but tho smallest peaches, such as would be Of
no value.
The largest growers In every part of the
peninsula agree in the opinion that the drop
will be small. Down in Sussex they are
copfnently predicting total yield all over OF
5000, 900 baskets. In New Castle county this
estimate il considered too large by a million
baskets Mr.. l. N. Mills, the superintendent
OF the Delaware railroad who has had perhaps
the best opportunities for judging in the
matter, says there will be shipped between
G, 900, 900 and 5000, 900 baskets. Tho yield is
uniform, being about equally distributed.
The productive belt this year lies between
parallel lines stretching from bay to bay, and
running through Middletown on the north
and FELTON, on the south, breadth Of about
80 miles. The crop is also heavy along the
line OF the Delaware Il Chesapeake railroad,
from Greensborough to Easton, but outside
of these districts there are many thousand
baskets The actual acreage does not exceed
that OF 1883. Other fruits will be abundant
except pears, which were killed to a great ex-
tent by tine frost.
