Registering Peach Cars

Any one noticing the daily shipping
list of the peach trains will observe the
widely extended points to which they
are being shipped this year instead of
tumbling them into the three large
cities as has been the case heretofore.
This is doubtless largely owing to the
efforts of the Fruit Growers Bureau of
Information and Distribution. The
chief point in shipment is registration
to prevent too many peaches going
to one place and causing it to be over
stocked. Henry G. Conrad, ESQ.,, the
Distributor wants all the cars sent reg
istered, whether they go through the
Bureau or not. In a circular issued
last week he closes as follows:
If every car shipped during the
coming week were registered at this
Office, the benefits derived would be so
great that no further urging of the
matter would be necessary; the plan
would win its own way, by reason of
the results accomplished. viii you
not give your cooperation? 1t will
put money in the pocket of every
grower, buyer and shipper on the Pc
ninsula. You do not have to be mem
bers of the Bureau to entitle you to
the privilege of registering your cars
at this Office; and there is no cost
attached to the same, except that par
ties should pay the expense of tele-
! graphing. We want to register every
car"

The State Democratic Convention.

The Democratic State Convention
was held yesterday at Dover, its inter
est being heightened by the contest in
the Kent and Sussex primaries. There
was some trouble in getting the Sauls-
bury men who were in a minority to
harmcniZe with the WOlcott men in
making out the committees, the former
wanting more than the latter were
willing to concede, but finally the
Salisbury men yielded. They Orga-
nized with DIR. Edward Fowler, of
Laurel as temporary chairman and
Chas. w. Cullen, Sussex, John Hyde,
Kent, and Peter A. Horty, New Castle,
temporary secretaries.
The committees on credentials and
organization then withdrew to confer,
and during the interim j. w. Cooch
was called to the chair. w. Smalley
then read the report on parmanent or
ganiZation, as follows President, A.
p. Robinson vice presidents, w. II.
Stephens of Sussex, Stephen POstles of
Kent, John w. Lawson of New Castle ;
secretaries, c. w. Cullen of Sussex,
John Heyde of Kent, P. A. Uorty of
New Castle.
The platform read and adopted en-
dorses the state and national admins
trations, endorses the Presidents posi-
ton on the tariff and fisheries question
and gives expression in favor of n con
stitutiOnal convention.
The State Central Committee is com
posed of the following members: 1. N.
Grubb, w. L. Wier, William Cooch, J.
Frank Ball, John NJ. Newell, New Cas-
tic; John d. Burton, DR.. E. w. Coop
er, Peter K. Meredith, w. L. Hall, r
H. Smith, Kent; Everett Hickman, l
n. FOoks, H. S. Marshal, w. H. Stew
ensOn, DR.. Edward Fowler, Sussex
This committee is composed Of oigh
Salisbury men, majority of one. JOhr
B. Pennington was then renominated by
acclamatiOu as Delaware's representa-
tive in Congress. There was not a rip
pie of opposition manifested on tin
floor of the convention, but it is saiC
that there was nevertheless a stron;
under current against his return. Th,
presidential electors are Caleb 2. John
son, New Castle. Robert Hill, Kent
and DIR. Robert G. Ellegood, Sussex.

The Dead Tramp.

The adjourned meeting of the Cor
oner's jury on Thursday evening after
holding to late hour could arrive at
no definite conclusion in regard ta. the
murderers of the tramp referred to in
our last issue, because of lack of
evidence. There was absolutely no
clue as to who did the deed or what
day it was committed. There is con-
flicting testimony as to when the man
was first found. The statement that
he was seen under the cherry tree on
Saturday is rendered valueless by the
statement of Mr.. Crow who has posses
sion of the field and says he was near
that cherry tree on the Saturday after
noon in question and saw nothing like
a dead man. The claim that the man
who was chased from the bar-room in
town crying for mercy, pursued by a
blood thirsty pack of hoOdlums was a
young man, should have been substan-
tiated by those engaged in it for their
own good, for the man had been en-
plOyed somewhere in the neighborhood,
but it was not, and there is still cloud
resting over the affair. One man who
was member of the jury and followed
the thing up from the first to the last,
tells us he is not satisfied that the man
found dead was not the victim of the
Saturday night brutality. The jury
placed the matter in the hands of the
Attorney General.

the love of God, that we keep His
commandments"
There being no debt for the improve
ments, feeling that we all owed a debt
to the Lord for what had been given,
we concluded to raise the amount
asked by the Conference for benevo-
lences. This was done in very short
time, after which the doxology was
sung and the beuediction pronounced.
At p. NJ. an experience and praise
meeting was conducted by Rev. A. T.
Scott, who was also present.
At 7.45 Brother G. w. Prettyman

Peaches.

The last week has been the height of
the peach season. From this time on
the number of cars will diminish rather
than increase. The shipments yester-
day were to forty different places-197
cars. This scattering of the fruit leav-
ing only 73 cars for New York, "a for
Philadelphia, and % for Boston is
doubtless the reason the shippers have
not been harassed this year with the
heretofore inevitable "Old Nixon
glut." The prices in New York are
ranging from 60 cents to $1.25. The

The news from Jacksonville and
other points in Florida, says the Phila-
delphia Times, indicate very clearly
that the panic in the fever-infected
localities is not only entirely senseless,
but out of all proportion to the danger
to be feared. So far but a hundred
cases of fever have been reported in
Jacksonville, with but twelve deaths.
The proportion of deaths to cases is
thus shown to be low, not greater,
If as great, as in an ordinary
typhoid visitation, about which no
alarm would be manifested.

Low Rate Excursion to Rehoboth.

The Philadelphia, Wilmington and

Rehoboth on Thursday, August 30th.
The well-known advantages of Reho-
both, magnificent bathing, fine sailing
and fishing, and excellent accOmmoda-
tions, make it one of the most popular
seaside resorts Of the Atlantic coast.
IL is the summer headquarters of all
Delawareans, and one will find large
company of them collected there at
any time during the summer.
There is no better place, nor more
easily accessible, to which one can run
down, take dip in the briny deep and
getlungs full Of fresh sea air. The ex-
cursion allows over seven hours at the
shore.
The special train will run on sched-
ule given, leaving Smyrna at $50
o'clock, and excursion tickets, good
only on special train in each direction.
will be sold. The fare from Smyrna,
Clayton, Brenford and Cheswold will
be S1.25. Children under - years of
age, half ifprice.

IT is question whether the Repub-
lican party is not also a loser as a re-
suit of the factional fight of their oppo-
nents. In the sharp contest voters are
obtained by every means and from
every source. Thus, it is said about a
dozen Republicans voted at the pri-
mary here on Saturday. If the vote
at the primary was conditional as it
usually is to voting the same way at
the general election, if the same ratio
was kept up throughout the county, it
means a considerable vote in the aggre-
gate.
