A very curious explosion Of an apol-
llnaris bottle occurred at the Dorsey
House on Monday. Mr.. Vincent Har-
ringtOn, the clerk. was startled by a
loud and sudden reports as ifa gun had
exploded directly behind him, when
upon turning to discover the cause Of
the noise, he saw that one Of the apol-
linaris bottles had exploded, and at the
same time he discovered blood flowing
from his left hand. Upon examina-
tion he found piece ofthe flying glass
had entered the fieshy part Of the LETT
hand 10 tlie depth of three-quarters Of
an inch, and his wrist badly cut in
two places. 1t is very curious that an
apOllinaris bottle should in this man
ner explode and tits the more astOund.
ing that the force should be so great.
A large piece Of the glass was driven
almost through board patitiOn which
was made Of hard Sussex pine inch
board. What is there to explode in
such a manner in the composition Of

MILFORD's commerce. when closely
scrutinized is surprising to even those
who should be familiar with its every
detail. On recent trip to the creeks
mouth, sixteen sailing vessels trading
out of the MispilliOn were in sight at
one time. Place the average tonnage
capacity at low figure-say sixty
tons to each vessel-and we find that
$50 tons of freight are carried by this
visible fleet at each round trip. which
will average one week. Each ton is
carried at an average of 100, and the
cargOes are composed Of wood, piling,
coal, ship timber, lime, lumber, grain,
canned goods and vegetables, phOs-
phale, ties and general merchandise.
This does not account for the ship
building or the fish and oyster busi-
ness that add largely to the commerce
Of Milford. When il is considered
that the railroad company carries an
amount equal to that Of water naviga'
ton. the figures assume quite respect
able proportions.

The present year is one Of unusually
low prices for vegetables and fruit
with one exception-which was ber-
ries. Either the quality is below par,
or the supply has exceeded the demand
because so many have gone into truck
farming. Cabbage is more plenty in
city and local markets than it has been
years. White potatoes are almost
valueless. Corn Is worth only five
cents per dozen, and tomatoes bring
as much in Milford at the eanneries
as they sell for in city markets. Melons
do not pay to ship. and in this market
are worth only fifteen ceuts per basket
for choice stock. Peaches are worth
from thirty-five to fifty cents for good
stock, AL pttr3 pay fairly well.
Wheat is slow sale at from eighty-three
to eighty-six cents, and corn retails at
sixty cents per bushel. It it is fact
that presidential election year causes
low prices to rule, then the sooner we
make the Presidents term seven years
the better farmers and truckers will be
pleased.

General Joseph B. Seth, president Of the
Baltimore and Eastern Shore railrad, has been
elected president of the Wicomico and POGO
moke railroad, This road was purchased by
the bondholders at the sale in June last, to be
sold to the B. & Z. S. railroad. It was
rumored when the w. & P. railroad was sold
it was purchased in the interest of the B. &
f. S railroad, and further, that an agreement
had been signed by which all the iron would
be furnished the company, thus leaving only
the cost of the ties and construction unpro-
vided for. To meet this, subscriptions from
the counties Of Talbot, Dorchester and Wi
comico, amounting to sI25,ooo have been Sc
cured If all these rumors are true, and we
have reason to believe, from the election of
Mr. Seth president of the W. & P. railroad
that they are, we have a reasonable hope

The Wolcott forces in Kent county seem
to be leading a hopeless fight, or at least the
Salisbury men are making the road as rough
for them as they possibly can and any one
acquainted with Salisbury tactics will read
lily admit that they can and will put many
obstacles in the way of their opponents in
the U. S. senatorial race. Their first point
was gained on Saturday at the Democratic
county central committee meeting held in
Dover, at which it was decided, very contrary
to the wishes of the Wolcott men, to hold the
election for delegates to the county couven-
tion on August rs, the same day on which
delegates are elected to the state convention.
The Wolcotts preferred a separate date for
the two elections for certain reasons, aud
would probably have had their wish in the
matter gratified had they not been deserted
by one of their trusted lieutenants, Robert
Denny, of Duck Creek hundred, who cast the
deciding vote in the matter of the date and
otherwise identified himself with the Sauls-
bury forces. The election of delegates on
August IS will determine the senatorial
fight and end very hotly contested cam
paign between these two forces.
