Smyrna times., 1888-06-06

The Camden camp meeting will be
held again this year. A meeting will
De held on the grounds on Saturday to
hx the date and appoint managers.
Chief Justice Comegys was too i'll to
attend court Monday, and will probably
De confined to his bed for some time to
come. He is suffering from congestion
of the liver.
1t is said by some prominent peach
growers that the crop this year, from
present appearances, will not be less
than 100000 baskets. About 1000
600 were marketed last year and 5000
600 in 1875 when there was such a glut
that many lost money on them. New
York and Philadelphia were then, how
ever almost the only markets. Now
we have numerous canneries and drv-
ers, and new markets from everv part
OF the country are opened up to us.
A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.-While
crossing stream in the neighborhoOd
OF Townsend, Del, on Friday last.
United States Post-Office Inspector
William G. Maxwell came near losing
his life. He was driving a restive colt
when the wagon tipped over, throwing
Mr.. Maxwell and the driver into the
water Upon extricating themselves
they found the house lying upon its
side unable to move and in danger of
sutfocatiOn from the water, which COM
pleteIy covered it. After a great deal
of trouble the traces were cut and the
animal, which was a very valuable one,
was successfully released.
THE ELECTION OF AUSTIN HAIR
RINGToN.-And, the result has given
greater satisfaction to the community
at large than perhaps any city election
ever held in Wilmington. In rescuing
their municipality from three wears Of
threatened subsection to a rule or ruin
clique, they have given US an execu-
tive head who comes into power pecu-
Harly untrammeled and in a better DO
sition than any of his predecessors 10
consider and administer the duties of
his office from standpoint higher than
that of partisanship. With hundreds of
Democratic votes behind him Mr.. Har-
ringtOn can we'll feel that he is the
peoples mayor and free to set the
peoples will above the claims of party.
His fOreshadOwed selection of Ex- Post
master William Y. Swiggett for chief of
police will be hailed, we think, as an
earnest of good service in that impor-
tant department.-EUery EUening.
THE SHERIFFALTY CONTEST. The
Office of sheriff in New Castle county is
said to be worth from $40, 900 to $50, 900
The contest for the nomination by the
Democrats will be held next Saturday
in the different hundreds. The up.
heaval on Saturday week at New Cas-
tie has somewhat simpliied the sher-
iflalty contest. 1t is thought the boilers
strength is nearly all behind Purnal J
Lynch, in whose candidacy Clerk OF
the Peace Cochran still takes a pro.
found interest, for reasons obvious to
those knowing the relations of the two
men. On the other hand the services
of Peter j. Ford to the regulars" al
| New Castle were of such a character
that the strength Ofthe faction naturally
and with justice arrayed itself behinC
him. The other candidates for Sheriff
| have fallen as it were between the upper
and neither Ofthese factiOnal millstOnes
and unless they are alert they will
suffer the usual consequences of tha
/ position.
A ROBBER FOILED. The DeIdWdreal
gives the following incident pertaining
to a former citizen of Smyrna: AbOu
1910 o'clock last Monday night, a
Miss NJ. NJ Smith, who keeps a millin
cry store on LOckerman street, wa
about to retire, she heard a noise OIL
the shed roof adjoining her bedroom
and on opening the Stats of the windoV
shutter discovered a colored ma
crouched near the window. Sh
ordered him to leave three times befor
he moved. She then ran to the iron
of the house and screamed for hell
Two or three gentleman respOnde
and searched for the wretch, but he ha
disappeared. Two persons were seen
run out on the street, through DIR. Wi
sons yard, about that time, and there
no doubt that they were in colleague
rob Miss Smiths store. Should the
repeat the attempt they will meet
warm reception at the muzzle of
seven-shooter.
Political SQUIBs.-The PecuLiC
t StUdtiOn.-The State AdministratiO
J is forcing the fighting against IL
= County Administration. In 9th,
words, it is the State Ring VS.. Il
County Rings.
The question with the Democra
now is to which Democrat Party {
you belong. The bulk of the par
: seem to be taking to the woods.
Judge Heverin deprecates the spill
e but says like the bug he got in.
J One of Governor Biggs' recently a
! pointed officials on Saturday mig
! when told of the split, remarked, "I'
glad 1 am in it."
= The CARBOHYDRATES claim to fu
!, nish not only the brains but the hood
, to run the Democratic campaigns, al
they say they will show the Biggs-Fal
q ily hOwlers that both will win agair
