GREAT LOSS OF PEACHES.
Yellows are Running the Ripening Fruit
on the Peninsula.

CHEsTERTowN, July 16.-Never
within the history of peach culture in
Kent has the damage to peaches from
the yellows been rs great. This de-
structive blight now threatens to COM
pletely sweep out of existence some of
the finest orchards of the county. In
the vicinity Of Millington, the great
peach section of the county, acres of
orchards have been attacked, and thou
sands of baskets of premature fruit will
be almost total loss to growers. Tho
trees have turned yellow, and in many
instances where large and profitable
crops were expected both fruit and trees
are blighted. Among others the or
chards of Dennis Nowland, Garrett
Foxwell, Henry Spear, James HURT,
Richard Lockwood and many others
have been seriously injured, and at
present it is impossible to estimate the
damages.
The damage done by the heavy hail
and wind storm of July Sd was more
widespread than was at first expected.
The heavy winds swept down on DR..

Of other damage Mr. Meeks lost fully
1000 baskets of pears of the choicest
varieties. Other farmers in the vicinity

Special Correspondence Gazette and Journal.
MIDDLETowN, July 8.-The executive
committee of the board of trade held a
meeting last night at which time William
r. Polk laid before them his project of
building railway from Middletown to
Odessa.
Mr.. Polk proposes to have the town
commissioners grant him the right to lay
down rails to construct railway the en-
tire length of Main street to be part of a
line from Middletown to Odessa and to
operate said road by electricity or by
dummy engines. After listening to Mr..
Polk, and after considerable discussion of
the matter, the board of trade adopted
resolutions recommending the town com
missioners to grant the request of Mr..
Polk and to provide such provisions as
may be found necessary for the safety and
interests of the town.
The charter originally granted was for
the purpose of laying narrow gauge
railway between the Middletown depot
and Odessa, but it was afterwards
amended so as to make 1t either an electric
or dummy railway. The company is not
allowed to charge over three cents from
one end of Middletown to the other. Mr..
Polk will be heard from soon again in
regard to the matter
A letter was read from a large Philadel-
phia firm in regard to locating a shirt
factory here, which after due considera-
tion was laid on the table for future
reference. The meeting then adjourned.

THE conn VULCASITE COMPANY,
The Causes to Which the Company'l
Failure Arc Attributable.

The announcement of heavy execu-
ton of S10O 900 against the Cobb Vulcanite
Wire Company OF this city is looked on in
all directions with the greatest regret.
Theexecution is the definite failure of the
company. The assets will be sold on Tues
day, August 4th. Although charges have
been made of lax business methods against
ex-President H. B. Cobb, every one recog-
nizes that in the presence of any invest
ment that would safely yield double or
treble the returns of the average safe
business speculation that such incidental
conditions should not be allowed to utterly
annihilate the fruitful field offered by the
valuable patents held by the company.
The real explanation is that the cost of
zation on returns is so great that the rela-
lively limited capital invested was alto
gether unable to meet these special
demands. Hence the failure. With a
competent capital the harvest of returns
would be commensurately greater. The
fault OF the company was that it at
tempted to go into business with INSULT
cient means. 1t would require probably
nearly S250000 hard cash to place the
business on a thoroughly firm standing.
Were. this sum acquired commissions
would soon be in view representing mil
lions. These are facts recognized by
business experts who have thoroughly
familiarized themselves with the value Of
the patents in question.
The assets of the company are the patent
held by II. B. Cobb, the wire which has
been sold under royalties in various large
cities of this country, and the plant and
fine machinery of the company in this
city. The last with II. b. Cob6's patent
will be sold to meet the Judgment of
100000 held by William Weightman OF
the wholesale drug firm of Powers &
Weightman of Philadelphia.
AS an illustration of the high CONNER
cial recognition of the value of the Cobb
patents it has been learned that at the last
meeting of the stockholders ii was stated
that Mr.. Weightman, who holds the
heavy judgment of 100000 against the
company was perfectly willing were any
tangible prospects shown of gaining capital
sufficient to run the business that he was
ready to make any satisfactory arrange
ment and was quite unwilling to hamper
the company. This being the case it is ac-
cepted as recognition by Mr.. Weightman
of the genuine commercial value of the
Cobb patent.
1t was learned Friday that the committee
appointed by the stockholders on the ques-
ton of reorganization which also includes
the project of securing additional and
sufficient capital, has not yet reported. Ii
is quite. possible that this report may come
to hand at any time now. Should good
news of this kind be gained the judgment
will be satisfied and the Cobb Vulcanite
Wire Company will resume business.

4 STRANGE WATER JgAIE
Captured at Bowers Beach by Sturgeon
Fishermen.

Isaac Goodwin, a stalwart member of
the crew Of the oyster guard boat Della
ware now stationed below Ship John
Light, brought to the GAZETTE Office
yesterday week a remarkable sample of
the monkey fish.
The strange animal, which seems TO be
a cross between the nocturnal bat and a
sole, has head which bears striking
resemblance to that of monkey. Hence
its name. Similar to the sole family it is
without fins, unless indeed the whole
flat body itself may be considered fin.
1t is possessed of two long seal-lilSe
happers that have the position Of dual
fins. Its greatest popularity, however,
is its long powerful tail. This is lined on
its three upper edges with ridges of
sharp teeth-like barbs all set out
wards. The outer edges of its sole
like fiat body are also furnished
with stout barbs. The barbs continue
from the tail upward along the ridge of
the the vertebra TO a cartilaginous fin
like extension above the head. The
peculiar location of the barbs and also
the setting of the head suggest the idea
that in securing its prey this strange fish
lies fiat at the bottom of the water, with
its face down. Any small fish passing
over its surface might, by the slightest
muscular movement of the monkey fish,
be caught and torn along the lines of
barbs at the vertebra and on either
flank. The tail, which is almost as long
as the body itself and of remarkably
muscular construction, would be lashed
backward over the passing prey, while
at the same time the sides would close
up envelope-like on either hand, when
the fish would be completely entrapped.
The monkey fish is quite white un-
derneath and of light greyish brown
on top. The nose and mouth protrude
quite one inch from the plane of the
face. The jaws are set with innumerable
blunt teeth like pin heads. More exactly
speaking these are set in the lips and
most of them on the outside edges, as if
their use was more for grating and
pounding than for tearing or masticat-
ing the prey. The mouth is over two
inches in width. The eyes are set wide
apart and in relation to the position of
nose and mouth arc not different from
that seen in the genus homo. 1t is about
three feet long over all.
The fish was caught at depth of
about "a feet of water off Bowers
Beach in sturgeon seine net 1t is the
second that has been caught within
about 10 years.
