The Death Of Miss Boggs.

The sudden death of Miss Sadie
Boggs at Clayton on Wednesday after
noon last Just as we had run of our
issue of that day was a shock, as a sud
den death by railroad or otherwise
always is to a community. Detective
n. II. Hutchins who saw the young
lady as she Was avoiding the train in
one direction caught by the cars back
ing in the opposite direction, the
the wheels mangling her body and
causing instant death, informed COrOn-
er Wright of the sad accident and am
inquest was held the same evening the
jury of which brought in a verdict not
only charging the railroad but censur-
ing it for " negligence and derelictiOn
of duty in not providing proper safe
guards at the crossing where the de-
ceased came to her death" The young
lady was held in high esteem by those
who knew her not only for what she
was but what she promised to be. HeI

A Normal School.

We announced in our last issue that
upeTintendent l.. Irving Handy and
Principal w. g. Lake intended to have
during part of the summer a normal
school for the advantage of teachers,
or those intending to fit themselves for
this business. They intend to hold it
from July 9th to August 10th, having
secured the use Of the public school
building of this town for the purpose.
They say, we have established Sum-
mer School to give an opportunity for
normal instruction to Delaware teach
ers, and to prepare for examination
those who desire to commence teach
ing" The course of study will be ar
ranged, as far as possible so that stu
dents may use the text books in use in
the free schools of Delaware, 1.-THE
school will be divided into three
classes, responsive, in a measure, to the
three grades of certificates provided by
law. The first class will be prepared
for first grade certificate and in addi-
ton will be given elementary Latin"
The cost of tuition will be $40, and
board will be from 50 to S. per week,
making the whole expense of the
course from $25 to $35. If thirty OF
more students enter, and they desire
the attendance Of none Hexcept those
willing to study and to study hard;" a
a third instructor will be added.
Here is an opportunity, for those
teachers who desire to be better fitted
for their profession to do 80 at a small
expense.

The Strawherru Season

This is the most satisfactory season
our strawberry growers have had for
several years. This has resulted
mostly from the favorable weather,
there being no rain since the picking
commenced, but plenty before. The
prices in the city have ranged from s
to 16 cents per quart. Thus far about
1900 car loads have gone over the Del
aware Railroad, or some 600 900 crates.
The crates will return on an average
say 1925 per crate clear of freight,
commission and carriage, thus showing
over one and a quarter millions of dol
lars have been divided on the PENN
sula between the growers and the
pickers. A quarter of million more
will probably be added to this, without
taking into account the very large
quantity sold in the towns on the Pen
insula. The strawberry money is
money that gets into circulation at
once, and it's benefit is already being
felt in the channels of trade.

The St. Louis Convention finished
its labOrs on Thursday with the NOM
nations Of Cleveland for President
and Thurman for Vice-President by
acclamation, and the adoption of a
platform the chief issue of which is a
low tariff-On the basis of Mr.. Cleve-
lands last message-which presented
the issue of protection and anti-prOtec-
tion so squarely before the people.
This makes the tariff question the
chief feature in the coming presiden-
tial campaign. The platform adopted
at St. Louis is popularity received here
by the party, and has the singular
property of pleasing the Republicans
as we'll as the Democrats. They
have not manifested so much pleasure
at anything for the past three and q
half years as the outcome of tho

Geo. w. Dame, of Virginia, but who
has been residing in Baltimore since
his return the latter part of the winter
from an extended tour in Europe and
Asia including the Holy Land, Egypt
&c, came to Smyrna and conducted
the services morning and evening. 1t
seems to have been a case of mutual
regard-the congregation liked the
preacher, and Smyrna in its fresh,
summer sattire likewise produced a
favorable impression on him the fol-
lowing day, Monday, the vestry met
and gave him unanimous call, which
was met in the same frank manner by
a prompt acceptance. Alr. Dame spent
Monday in making the acquaintance oi
as many members of the parish as was
practicable, went to Baltimore yesteT-
day to bring his wife and child to take
possession of the rectory, and will re.
turn on Saturday. AS before said, Mr..
Dame pleased his congregation as a
preacher, and seems to have been
equally as successful in leaving an inn
preston socially. His sermons are
represented as of the the earnest gos-
pei kind, and the reading of the ser.
vices, rendered with peculiar effec
! tiveness. The Rev, Mr.. Dame was
brought to the attention of the con.
gregation by the Rev. j. L. Grammer

SEN AToR GRAY made an able speech
in the L. S. Senate on Monday on the
Fisheries Treaty. As a strong person
al friend Of Secretary Bayard, it was
very natural that he should strongly
defend the treaty, to say nothing of its
being an administration measure. The
Baltimore Sun in speaking of it says:
The people want this treaty to be
gravely considered and inteligently
discussed. Every treaty, even one
with a quasi sovereignty like az indian
tribe, is serious in itself, or in its possi-
bic consequences. As Senator Gray
said to-day in his statesmanlike speech
in answer to Senator Frye's fiery ora
ton, it is a great national question, and
should not be dwarfed by considering
IL from a narrow point of view. In
saying that every treaty came before
the Senate with strong presumptiOns
in its favor the Delaware Senator
stated in simple words constitutional

THE effort Of the Changers to get
their charges Of discrimination by the
railroad in freights before the Inter
State Commissioners seems to be sub
iect to one delay after another. After
repeated efforts during the winter to
get time fixed, the 11th of June was
finally fixed on when the hearing
should proceed, but General Logan,
Solicitor, has requested an extension
of time until Geo. V. Massey, Esq,
who was preparing the case, should re-
turn from Europe, and the Commis-
sion has allowed the time.
f. H. Bancroft, one of the Changers
most active in pushing the charges,
says: We are not in the least dis
couraged, nor have we relaxed our eff
forts to strengthen our case. We have
accomplished one thing for which We
are fighting, and that is better train
service, and we propose to continue
the battle until the farmers of the Pc
ninsula are placed upon the same
equality in the matter of freight rates
as the farmers $50 and 200 miles further
south, and until in all other respect.

over fat Office, as for instance, the
Office of Sheriff OF New Castle county,
the nomination for which on Saturday
was the occasion for an excited con-
test. The EUeniRg journal in speak

Office that pays its occupant $4,000 for

and there is no wonder that the Ordi-
nary politician will cheat and fight and
lie for it. The struggle over this prize
is greater and more fierce than over
all the other Offices in the county put

income is almost as much as that o
all the other county Offices put

Keen to the Letter Of the Law.

Evidence comes from all sections of
the country that an end must comes to
the immunity which TIE saloons have
had in violating the law. The lesson
that has been taught in Philadelphia
that laws restricting the demoralizing
effects of the liquor traffic can be en-
forced, is making its impress in the
courts of our own State, as was man
ifested in Wilmington last week in
patiently hearing the remOnstranoes
against issuing new licenses to those
who had in one way or another vio-
lated law and decent morals, knock
ing out one third of them. One Of the
ways all over the State in which the
law has beeen habitually violated is in
selling liquor 20 be carried of the
premises-the hip pocket arrange
ment in pocket bottles. In noting
the action of the court last week in
Wilmington the RepuLicaR says it will
be we'll for those saloon keepers who
wish to live up to the law to remember
that during the hearing of license ap-
| plications the court decided that 1t is
as much violation Of the law 10 sell
/ liquor to be carried away in bottles on
other vessels as il is 10 sell IL on the
Sabbath, and that In several cases the
fact that persons had bought liquor To
to be taken away from the premises
was urged as sufficient cause by the
temperance lawyer why they should
not receive their license. The law
grants all persons holding liquor IL
cense permission TO sell Intoxicating
liquors in quantities less than one
quart, to be drank on the premises
consequently p strict Interpretation oi
this law would prevent them selling il
Il In any form to be carried away As
the court seems disposed to interpret

THE Law and Order Society which

being instrumental in closing over

cult task before the court in Whining
