thought that the delightful rain of las
week, accompanied by day of cooler
weather, had broken the protracted
drouth. The intense heat and dust con
tlnue, and farmers are having greater
trouble than ever to induce farm hand:
to work at cutting of the immense corr
crop. A farmer last week breakfasted
IA men who were engaged at $3.50 pei
day. The farmer, after starting them te
work, absented himself for time, and
before dinner 10 of the men had left the
field, and this complaint is heard from
many sections Of the country.
Wheat seeding has already com.

General Fl. Y. Boynton, whose name
is household word in journalistic Gil
cles, contributes to the October Century
a paper on "'rhe Press and Public
Men," in which, as "a striking example,
of the condolences reposed, and i'm
plicitly reposed, in newspaper men, the
writer comes near "lifting the lid" from
something momentous and national in
a paragraph so remarkable that we
transcribe it for the bewilderment of
The GAzETTEs readers:
Since the contest over the election of
PRESIDENT Hayes was decided in his favor
mere mere nave been four journalists in the
nently known, who have been fully pos
sessed OF all the facts connected with the
real negotiations which settled that con
troversy in his favor. They have had in
their possession, not only what might be
called the verbal knowledge of this case,
but documents which contain the exact
propositions which led to the result then
reached. No intimation OF these things
has ever reached the public though there
has never been day since the decision Of
the matter when any one of the four could
not have given all the facts to the public.
and could have done this without the least
violation of good faith towards the Others
who acted with him. 1t will be seen that
this Is matter of no. ordinary moment.
and it is not too much to say in regard to
1t that the result finally reached in the
counting Of the electoral votes would
surely have been attained if there had
been no electoral commission, and if the
much-talked-of Wormley Hotel conference
had not been held. These are grave state
ments,, but they are made with great de-
liberation, and with fair knowledge of
the ordinary meanings of words, and,
furthermore, they are not exaggerated

In providing for taking the sense OF
the voters Of Pennsylvania on the oues-
ton OF calling constitutional conven-
ton, the legislature omitted to make any
provision for the printing of the tickets.
This oversight the Philadelphia Ledger
regards as favorable to the calling Of a
convention, because the candidates for
the office of delegate to the convention
will take care to provide plenty of
tickets "for a convention" while no.

lightful shower Of rain passed over por-
tons OF Kent county on Tuesday and
broke protracted drouth. On Tues
day evening the daughter of Mrs. Bos
ton, the matron Of Washington College,
placed lighted lamp on table imme-
diatcly under q heavy pan suspended
from the wall. Just at TINT moment.
Tor some unknown cause, the pan fell,
shatierng the lamp; the burning oil
soon covered the table and ran to the
floor. Miss Boston's escape from the
kitchen was completely cut off, but her
screams OF fire soon brought Mr.. Harry
HURT, a student, who, with great pres
ence OF mind, ran to an upper bedroom,
secured lot of bedding and smothered
the flames just in time to save the row
OF three large buildings. The college
buildings were burned a number of
years ago.
All the signs concur in forecasting a
long, severe winter. A great crop of
fruits OF all kinds has been gathered;
ehestnuts and nuts of all kinds are I'M
usually abundant; persimmons are plen-
tiful the husk on the ears of corn is
very heavy-in short, the annual hard
winter prophet has fair field for his
representations
James White, farmer living near
Chestertown, has grown stalk of corn
measuring nine feet nine inches from
the ground to the ear, and five feet ten
inches from the ear to the top Of the
tassel, making total height of fifteen
feet seven inches.
Captain Joseph w. Thompson, while
fishing of Morgan's creek bridge several
days ago, in taking a handsome gold
watch from his pocket dropped it over
board in very deep water. Mr.. James
Byron, young man present, made
dive to the bottom and arose to the sur
face Of the water with the valuable
tlmepiece. This is the second or third
watch Mr.. Byron has secured which
had been dropped overheard.
The latest Kent county industry, the
outgrowth of the tremendous fruit crop,
is the making of perry or what is COM
monty known as pear cider. The fallen
fruit has been collected, ground and
made into that tempting beverage. Ono
large pear grower made large number
of gallons.

The GAZETTE reports elsewhere in
to-day's issue the progress of a move.
ment inaugurated some weeks ago by
Delaware farmers looking toward the
opening Of a new market for the pro.
ducts of peninsular orchards, truck
farms and dairies Such plans are near
ing frultion as will put products Of the
Peninsula into one of the best of mar.
kets and practically open a new avenue
by which money may find its way to
the farmers of this section. 1t is a plan
SO full of promise as to be worthy the
most careful consideration. There are
thousands Of dollars worth of farm pro-
duce that go to waste on this Peninsula
every year for want of good market,
says leading agriculturist, and this
loss may hereafter be turned into cash
with as much more as the prolific soil
between the two bays can grow. Are
our farmers progressive enough to i'm.
prove this opportunity?

MILFORD. Oct. 1.-The steamer Atlantic
city sailed from this port for Philadelphia
last night, but will not again return. as
she is too large for this stream. A smaller
one will be sent here by the company for
this trade and If possible will be kept. The
Atlantic City is well adapted to this trade
as she has light draft, but she is too long
to successfully and rapidly make the turns
ana round the bends that abound in the
river. Captain Godfrey says he experienced
much troublein coming up the stream from
this cause. The boat did not draw too much
water for the river, but her length is
against her. She was built for pleasure
boat and not intended for stream with
SO many crooks and turns as the Mis-
pillion. The captain, however, gives as
surance that Milford is not to be denied
tne advantage of a steamer on this account.
The work of sinking the artesian well is
progressing rapidly and the contractor, Mr..
Shannehan OF Easton, Md. is pleased
with his success thus far. Immediately
upon the completion of the well work wifi
be commenced upon the other necessary
branches of the plant to insure the hasty
completion of the whole works. The dis
trlbntion OF the pipe will be made next
week and Contractor Haines of Cape May,
VIII at once begin the laying of the same
IN the streets. Workmen from here will
be employed and large force will be re-
tanned for this branch of the work for the
next two months at least. The pipe has been
shipped and is expected to arrive at any
time. IL is now definitely settled that the
whole plant will be located in South Mil
ford in connection with the present cleo
tric Light plant, and to do this the building
is TO be extended back 10 or ~ feet and an
addition erected on the north side of the
present building 32x36 feet for the accom-
mediation of the. necessary machinery.
Inc present plant is TO be duplicated max
ing, in all in use four dynanos, two engines
and two boilers. Provisions have been
made for sufficient power and an increase
that at no time there will be any trouble
IN securing the same in case of necessity.
