THE DRUGGISTS IN oUAxDARY.
Can They Lawfully Sell Liquor

Can They Lawfully Sell Liquor
Now Under the New Lawl
Thirty. seven out of the 43 druggists Of
this city are in bigger "stew" over the
new liquor law than are the saloon
keepers. N. B. Dsnforth, z. James Belt,
Jacob 8. Reetem, Herbert K. Watson,
John M. Harvey and Frank Roop Smith
have licenses regularly issued by the
court upon the payment Of the
800 fee and are all right. The
others do not sell enough liquor for
medicinal purposes to warrant them in
taking out 300 lioeuse, SO they have
heretofore secured permit from Clerk
OF the Peace Cochran to sell 25 gallons,
or not more than $75 worth of whisky,
upon the payment of so cents for q
permit.
These permits expired on June 30th,
and now the druggists are in a quandary
what to do and so Is Clerk Cochran. The
new lew requires them to pay license
fee of 800, but the clerk DOES not know
whether he Is authorized to issue them
without any previous announcement or
whether they must advertise and apply
to the court in the conventional form. II
the law is construed according to the
latter view, the druggists in question can
not lawfully sell liquor from July 1st
until court meets in september, and con-
sequently they claim that they can not
lawfully use liquor in compromising any
| physician's prescriptions. The riddle
has not yet been solved.

CINCINNATI, July 3.-John L. Sullivan
and party left at 755 a. m. by the Queen

tion concerning their plan of procedure,
whether they would go through by the
regular train or whether, In order to
avoid the suggested capture In Missis-
sippi, they would secretly change their
plans and sneak through that state by o
special train or by some unexpected
route. They did not appear to be much
affected by the alleged plan to capture

him into doing this, and that is all Sulli-

"Oan Kilrain take punishment
Certainly he can, but not much of the
kind he will receive when he gets in front

avail much against such blows as Sulli-

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
LONDON, July 3.-The shah, accom-
panied by several members of the royal
family, members of the diplomatic corps
and other prominent persons, was to-day
escorted by procession to the Guild
Hall. The streets through which the
procession passed were decorated with
flags and bunting and lined with troops.
Immense crowds gathered along the,
route. Lord and Lady Salisbury were
late in starting for the Guild Hall and
discovered on reaching the strand that
the shah had already passed along that
thoroughfare. The troops there had
also broken up their lines and the
crowds of people were roaming about
at will. Owing to the dense crowds
Lord Sslisbury's carriage proceeded very
slowly without its occupants being re.
nognized until Ohespside was reached.
Here 1t was obliged to come to 6, stand
still and the official uniform of the pre-
mier was recognized by the sightseers,
who bantered his lordship until body Of
troops was procured to escort him and
Lady Salisbury to the Guild Hall, which
they were obliged to enter through the
door assigned to ordinary visitors. The
police on duty at the entrance stopped
several detectives who were following the
premier and would not allow him to
enter until they had explained who they
were. u.~

Gawthrop OF the Street and Sewer De

sci, and W. A. Pratt, engineer of main.
tensnce of way, representing the railroad,
recently held conference on the subieet
but definite action in the matter was
postponed until Mr.. Birds return from
Europe, at least. The directors maintain
that the railroad is responsible for the
building OF the bridge, even though the
city be required to build the embank
ments. The railroad company will admit
no such agreement although MIR. Pratt is
now preparing plans and estimates for
the bridge, and upon Mir. Birds return,
some action will be taken. When the
railroad was built, the b, i O. company
promised to build ornamental bridges at
street dressings. In fact, Captain Smith
promised anything but the agreements
were verbal only.

Two Teams Run Together Killing

One OF ahe Horses.
In collision between two double teams
attached to express wagons, belonging re-
spectiyely to the Charles Warner COM
pany and George W. Bush d Sons, one
OF the former oompany's horses was
almost instantly killed about s O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon on Fourth street be-
tween Market and King. Warmers team
was delivering wagon load Of tin to
Reese & Brother, OF No. East Fourth
street, and was backed up to the curb
with the horses turned up Fourth strest
In order to avoid blocking the street rail-
way track. Bush's team was unloading
some goods at W. B. Sharp & Oompsny's
store only few yards further up the
street.
The latter team became frightened at
something and started off down Fourth
street. Thomas j. Bantum. the colored
driver, sprang to the head of one of the
horses and grssping it BY the bride, at
tempted to stop the. frightened animals.
He was literally lifted from his feet when
the bri lie gave way. Almost at the same
time, Bush's team dashed into Warmers
team head on. 1t seems surprising that
the runaway team should have been able

short space, but the collision was
terrific. ALL four OF the horses
fell in a jumbled mass and they
were thrown some distance by the fall.
The tongue of Bush's wagon had entered
the breast of Warmers off horse just
below the neck for distance Of about six
inches and when the tongue was with
drawn, the blood gushed from the
terrible wound in such quantities that
the injured horse bled to death in n few
minutes. Warmers other horse was also
injured but not seriously while Bush's
horses escaped unscathed. The harness
Of both teams was badly torn.
Witnesses say that Bsntum made heroic
efforts to prevent the collision and almost
Facrifced his own life in the attempt.
When the bride gave way he had hold of
one horse by the nose and it snorte6 and
reared in its attempts to throw him off.
The dead animal was valuable bay mare
and was valued at about $500.

what the Governor Said This MORN
Ing About the Peach Orchsrds.
Governor Biggs left the city yeste'-
Ivy for New York where he will mai Q
IA address to-day OF the annual meeting
OF Tammany Hall.
"Whst ip the most recent aspect of the
peach orop?" an EVERY EVENING repor-
ter asked the governor this morning.
''The crop this year will not be much
more than the season of 'S7, which was
about l 900 cars.
The upper part of Queen Anne's
county is one of the spots where the
peach has been very successful this year.
There are good orchards in Laurel, Sea-
ford and Bridgeyills. On the line OF the
Chesapeake d Delaware railroad towards
Oxford the crops are good and also at
Queen Anne station and at Henderson.
At Tuckahoe Neck there is only half
crop. Middletown may be considered a
failure. The report is of only Il, 900 as
against $50 900 last season.
In an orchard OF my sons attorney
general Biggs) in Kent county, which last
year yielded 1000 baskets, Che crop will
be only one half this season, while two
miles away, in Queen Anne county, his
crop will be double Of last year"
How do you account for such phe-
nomeDa, governor"
II don't understand it myself. Ever
since '65 I have grown peaches in the
upper part of Queen Anne county and
have had only two failures. In regard
to the bearing Of young trees in contrast
to the old ones. I have noticed no diff.
ference this year. There are indications
of yellows 10 our orchards in upper
Queen Anne county and in Kent. We
expect to chip from Millington station
this year about 100, 900 baskets as against
1870 900 last season."
"That is only little more than half a
crop2"
''Yes, that's about It." -'> e---.-s.f;
