Two FuneraIs-An Exciting and
Disastrous Runaway.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and journal.
DOVER, Aug. 19.-The funeral of the
late DIR. Isaac Jump will take place to-
morrow afternoon, and his remains will
be inferred in the new M. Il. cemetery.
On last Monday Mr.. Holland died very
suddenly of heart disease, and to-day he
was laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery.
About $50 o'clock this morning, while
Philip Marvel was selling his vegetables
on Queen street, his horses became fright
ened at moving wheelbarrow and ran
away, throwing him out, but he escaped
without any injury. On turning the cor
ner of Queen and North streets the rear
right hand wheel of the vehicle WINS
thrown off. The horses ran up North
street md whom they got to the cor
ner of Governors avenue and North
street they collided with the lamp post,
knocking the right-hand horse down, and
badly injuring him in the hip. The left
hand horse was struck between the fore
legs by the crowb0r and hole of two or
three inches deep was cut, from which
the blood flowed in great profusion. The
animals were taken in charge by some of
our citizens who dressed their wounds
the best they could. Both horses were
severely, if not dangerously injured. The
vehicle, which was large, covered
wagon, was not demolished save the
breaking of one wheel. The lamp was
knocked of and broken in innumerble
pieces.
Dover, Aug, 2l.-The builing fever in
Dover this season has not been SO great as
formerly.
Merchants are complaining of general
dullness in trade, but they are hopeful
that business will brisk up in the fall.
The days when the exchange is opened
at Wyoming, but few peaches are shipped
from the Dover depot. The bulk of the
peaches go to Wyoming.
The two canning factories have COM
mepced operation, but owing to the high
prices which peaches are bringing in the
cities, the factories cannot get as much
of the fruit as they would like. 1t is
said that a gentleman near Dover sold
his orchard short time ago for As cents
per basket. Peaches sold yesterday at
Wyoming right along for 81 and over.
Improvements are the order of the day
ut the depot. A large baggage room has
just been built and now a winding stair
way, running to the second story of the
station, is under construction.
Mr.. @. r. Furguson has had his dwell
ing on Bradford street moved back
several feet and will erect new front on
the old site.
The death of DIR. Isaac Jump and the
removal of DIR. Cahallto Frederick, leaves
only five practising physicians in Dover,
viz: Drs. Bishop, Wilson, Anderson,
Downes and Davis.
There is said to be any quantity of
tramps around Wyoming and Camden.
The lower end of Governors avenue
has been graded and otherwise improved.

ing been born on the 18th of September,

tice of his profession in Ellkton, where he

sentation in the house of delegates being

Frank Elkinton, the horse trainer and
handler, who boards at the park hotel,
says that the first he heard of the affair
was when Becker and his wife, in an
excited conversation awoke him from his
sleep. He thought at first that they were
quarreling, and got up and partially
dressed. But before he got out of his
room Becker had gone, and he did not
hear what he (Becker) said. He assisted
in the search for the body; drove in town
and informed the coroner; then to Rid
dies Banks and informed Mrs. McGinnis;
and finally assisted in removing the body.
Frederick Reed, one of Becker's en-
ployes, says he hitched up at about 1890
o'clock or a little later and took several
intoxicated men who had attended the
picnic to their homes, by Becker's order.
Whom he got back to the park he found
everything in IN uproar, several police
