PURSUANT to a call a special meeting
of the Board of Trade was held III the
armory on Tuesday evening aud but III
tie business was before the Board Tor
transaction. There was some discussion
about subjects that would be OF interest
and benefit to the town If they could pc
put to a practical use. George II. Han,
as a member of committee appointed
at the time of Harris Ascending for
the detection of the sooundrel, reported
that he still had $I25.oo Of unused money
that was subscribed by the citizens OF our
town and the immediate vicinity for the
purpose of bringing the absconder back
to Delaware, and asked that some DISPOSE
ton be made Of the money. II was sug-
pested that the money be turned over to
the Board to be used by them to the best
interest of the town; but as it was donated
money this could not be done until the
consent of the subscribers had been Cd
tanned and a committee of two-Frank
Richards and William V. Sipple were
appointed to get the voice Of those per
sons. There is no doubt but that all who
subscribed at that time will willingly ana
gladly consent to the amount being put
into the Board, as each amount was com
parativeiy small and would not be teit by
any one, while the total is a.goodly sum
and can be used to advantage by the
Board of Trade.

on Friday last about midnight this
vicinity was visited by one Of the most
terrific thunder and rain storms that has
occurred for many years, The clouds
were very low all evening, and as dark
ness came on they were as black as ink.
Soon the rain began to fall, lightly at
first. but soon turned into a steady down
pour. The lightning was sharp and was
followed by terrific peals Of thunder that
threatened to snake the houses from their
foundations. For over an hour this state
of affairs was kept up when the storm
subsidized and the rain stopped falling.
The storm frightened and kept awake
MANY OF the more tiinid ones. No dam
age was reported from the storm, though
it was thought by all who heard the storm
that the lightning must have struck in
our immediate vicinity During the pro
gress of the storm the rain turned to nail
and for short time hail stones as large
as marbles came peling down.

THE work Of catching the dogs that

being taken out Of the net he escaped
but was at once taken again and that
time safely landed in the dog pen There
las been thus far but twelve dogs cap
tured, four Of which were redeemed by
their owners, seven put to death with
chloroform and one still i'll the pen.

THE plan Of closing the stores at eight
O'Clock has been consummated and will
90 into effect on Monday next Every
store in town will from that time close at
eight O'Clock with the exception of the
confectioners and cigar aud tobacco
stores. This was a good move for the
clerks, and especially so when it was en-
tered into so heartily by their employers
as it gives them more freedom and an op-
portunity to breathe more fresh air, max
ing them healthier, more vigorous, and
when they enter the store in the morning
ceiling more like entering upon the duties
Of the day. Now, will the merchants
close at the appointed time Is asked.
There IS no doubt in our minds, as they
all seem anxious and in fact agreed to
commence last Monday when they were
only asked to begin next week.

Wednesday but on account Of the rain
had TO be stopped until yesterday when
it was continued in dead earnest Nh
Slocum. assistant to Mr.. Casson, Of Phil

and will draw the plans. The surveying
is done to ascertain the amount of pipe,
etc, to be used aud where the stand pipe
shall be located. No suggestion has been
made nor has any intimation been given
by the engineer but it IS probable that a
point in North Milford will be selected,
probably between Third and Fourth
streets. on Mullet Run. This is only
supposition on our part as it appears to
be high and Just about the right kind Of
itiyelv stated in about a fortnight the
exact spot to be selected. The works are
to be pushed as rapidly as possible by

THE farmers of this vicinity have been
busy this week, and are now, threshing
their wheat. The yield is a good one on
an average, though some fields have fallen
short Of the expectations OF their owners.
THE practice oftaking the collars and
tags off dogs has already been begun and
if those who attempt such a thing are not
very careful they will get themselves into
a heap of trouble Every dog IS mum
bered when registered, the number being
inscribed OH the tag. The Alderman also
makes an entry of the number and the
owner of the same. To trace stolen tag
will be but a small task for an officer but
NAV involve a great deal to anyone who
may be detected in making away with a
stolen tag. Better be careful about this
matter or some one will have to spend
some months with either Sheriff Robin
son. at Georgetown, or Sheriff Cole, at
Dover

were trimmed in the same way and a
pleatcd under bodice and the upper part of
the sleeves were of white surah.
Plain skirts are edged with a two-inch
knife pleated friil and some use tiny head
ing of gold gimp. Gilt is used much more
sparingly than in previous seasons. Yoke
shapes are seen in many bodices and when
the knife-pleated frill enters into the trim
ming of the gown it is used to outline the
shape. and gold embroidery ornaments the
yoke.
Delaines and wooden goods of light weight
are made very simply, usually with plain
skirt mounted on silk, frill around the
basque, full sleeves, and some silk is intro
duced in front either as round yoke or a
vest. Lace in the deep fiouncing width
has beeh great deal used in trimming de-
LANES as well as crepons and cottons, black
being the most popular. 1t sounds incon-
gruous to trim simple spotted or figured
print with fiounce of deep lace around
the skirt and the basque, but so Fashion
dictates. On Z tall figure the effect IS good,
and on some cottons the lace appears in
good taste But as there are exceptions to
every rule, so there are to this fashion.
One is tempted to wish Miss Sallie Har-
gous safely married since so much space is
devoted by writers on fashion to describing
the many costumes comprising her we'd
ding rousseau, particularly as few brides
can afford the eXtravagancies of her tot
lettes. One of hers, as described, might
be possible. 1t is u pale fawn colored silk,
with a long plain skirt and long lace
jacket of exquisite Malines lace, fastened
with broad blink ribbon. The jacket is of
an extremely graceful cut, and the colors
have been proved over and again most be-
coming to their wearer's pale dark beauty.
less pretentious bride will have for
her autumn wedding bridal dress of rich
ivory satin duchesse. the petticcat front
bordered with 4 ruchc of ostrich feathers.
A fiounce of lace starts from the left Shout
der seam, is gathered to fit the arms eye,
carried in jacket style under the arm and
down onto the train, where it is finished off
with a cluster of white tips. The right
front of the bodice and the upper portions
Medici collar is lined with ostrich ruching,
and a frill of chiffon falls in cascade fashion
down the front. The veil Of tulle will
nearly envelope the princess gown and its
fair wearer.
Recent visits to some of the most extern
sive establishments in this country reveal
that the change in styles will not be so rad
iCal as to prevent a refitting of last win
ter's gowns BodiceS are shorter, skirts
somewhat wider, small bustles seen occa-
sionally and paniers oftener than in the
past Sleeves continue full at the top and
are drawn rather tighter from the elbow to
the wrist. There seem to be indications
that short jackets will be substituted for
the Louis Nv. coat; that the corselet
bodice will be more worn, and that while
hats will continue fiat there will be less
breadth of brim. The small bonnet is too
universally becoming to be lightly aban-
doned, and there are no evidences that
women of fashion will give up the small
capote

CHAT ON FASHION.

Among the new fall styles that are now
out are to be seen many new silks, showing
decided change. Figured, brocaded aud
satin striped are no longer in demand, but
rich fables and grosgrains are the fancy of
the present season. Rich brocade is used
in com bination with faille, and makes a
most elegant gown. The colors used are
red with black and yellow with black tina t
remind one of the tints of the melan-
choly days when nature makes dying eff
fort to be gay.
A very handsome dress for reception is
a creme faille, the skirt of broche, floral
design on a creme ground. The Louis XIV
waistcoat has full jabot of mousseline de
sole, the rest fastens close at the throat and
the mutton-leg sleeves have turned-back
cuff with buttons and simulated button
holes and frill of rich lace falling over the
hand
Light woods are in vogue for evening
dress, aud one recently displayed at re-
ception was of pale heliotrope cashmere
The skirt was gracefully draped at the
sides and trimmed around the foot with
narrow white silk braid beaded with
white silk hobs. The wide belt and cuffs
