Justice Zane did not wish to be in
terviewed, but said: az think the Demo-
Gratis have gained q great victory and have
no reason for encouragement"
Farley L. Williams was found ii his
| Office, TRANQUILITY at work, as though an ex-
citing compalgn had never occupied his
mind. He said: 1.-THE Democratic party is
only about three months old. Its hasty and
almost perfect organization is phenome-
non. The results are far ahead of what
expected, and justify the conclusion that
the time has come to divide upon party
lines"
J. L. Rawlins said: "The situation is q
subject for congratulation. While we have
lost the city, which we did not expect to
win, In my opinion it is only temporary.
We have gained a Democratic territory,
and for the future Democratic state"
II. &. Lett was of the same opinion
1.-THE results are better than l expected.
The past chaotic condition Of this city
makes the present very hopeful, for q So
luton OF the problem has been found.
This is only the skirmish of q great battle
approaching. The battle ID inevitable. The
Democrats are destined in the future to
control Utah."
Judge Judd-"Everything in the world is
in favor Of the Democrats. Everything to
make Us feel good. We may congratulate
ourselves on having o thoroughly organ
lied Democratic party in the territory
with majority Of from five thousand to
six thousand and two thirds of the legis-

All About the Peach Crop.


The Easton peach exchange has not
shown up much thus far, bat at Queen
Anne the business is booming. II
counted It's peach wagons in sight at
one time, day before yesterday" said
an observer. The railroad company
not having room enough for the wagons
has bought more land from DR..
Reynolds. There is excellent fruit in
the neighborhood lare. sound and
well-colored peaches, and The best Of
it is bringing good prices. ~
The Millington corresponds mt of the
Chestertown Transcript says:
s'First of all, allow me to correct
through the columns Of your paper the
erroneous report to the effect that two
car loads of premature peaches have
been returned to our station, as nothing
of the kind has ever or, is likely to
occnr. In the first place, if persons
would stop to think, they would see how
absurd a thing it would be for health
officers in the city to seize carload Of
imperfect fruit and return it to the
place from which it started, while there
are many places closer by, where it
might be dumped. And again, the
railroad company would not be likely
to haul worthless truck back and forth
without any assurance Of getting their
freight. We think some of our neigh
boring stations must be getting jealous
because we so far outship them in this
line.

William T. Croasdale.

William T. Croasdale, the editor oi
the Standard, and chairman of The
National Committee of the Single Tas
League of New York city, died last
Sunday afternoon at Merriwold, Sulli-
van county, of pertonitis, after an i'll
ness Of eight days.
Mr.. Croasdale was born in Delaware,
and was well-known from one end of
the State to the other. He has been
identified with the journalistic enter
prises of this State ever since he be-
came old enough to take the qnill in
hand. His first efforts were on a
Georgetown weekly. Subsequently, in
1866, he took the editorial chair of the
Daily Commercial, which position he
filed until 1871. In 1871 the DAILY
Commercial and EUery Evening were
merged, and Mr.. Croasdale became
editor of the EUery EUening. In 1882
he went to Baltimore and founded the
Baltimore Day, Democratic paper.
This venture did not prove successful,
and after it went up he occupied an
editorial chair in the office of the New
York Star.
While in New York he became a
Henry George disciple and was one of
his lieutenants and most powerful
writers. Henry George retired from
the editorship Of the New York Stand-
ard, and was succeeded by Mr.. Croas-
dale, who occupied this position at the
time Of his death. He also became
chairman of the National Committee
of the Single Tax League.

neaches have been produced this year,
but the fact that a great crop of good
peaches is also here is equally appar-
ent. Euery Ecening is always trying
some kind of an experiment, either
political or horticultural, and always
does more harm than good formerly
reliable and trustworthy, it is now
constantly misrepresanting facts /; for
merly peoples champion it is now
crying out that there will be no good
peaches in Delaware this year and
thereby keeping away class of men
who would pay good prices for fruit.
But mark the course of that paper on
another important question i; has it
ever used its influence against the un-
lust demands of the Pennsylvania rail-
road Has it ever noticed that Penin-
sula farmers are being Disseminated
against ?
Euery Evening has been particularly
quiet on these matters probably one
or two annual passes have soothing
effect OF the conscience. Had every
paper in the State published facts con-
cerning the peach crop a plumber of
buyers would now be on the Peninsula,
but before the truth can be found out
by people at a distance the peaches
will be gone. When we have another
crop it is to be hoped that some one
will take interest enough in the mat
ter to see that false statements are COR
rected in time to prevent disaster.

Free Delivery in the Country.


An interesting letter has been re-
ceiyed by the postmaster general at
washington, describing certain free
delivery arrangements especially adapt
ed to farming communities. They
Illustrate the practical value of the re-
cent efforts to extend this branch of
lhe postal service, and they show the
increasing demand for universal free
delivery. A northern family that had
always lived in sight of the post-office
moved to North Carolina about Is
years ago and settled 64 miles from a
railroad town, and three miles from a
post-ofice. Having obtained the con-
sent of the postmasters and mail-carrier
on that particular route of Is miles in
length, this family and others who de-
sried to enter into the arrangement
erected posts for the reception and pro-
lection of small mail bags, suitable for
both collecting and delivery, and this
at a cost Of 50 to each family. A daily
delivery was established, and all mail
except registered letters were promptly
delivered. Each family had its own
mail bag properly inscribed, and the
privilege of placing therein money for
the procuring of stamps, money orders,
postal cards, &C., was granted. Such
was the success of the system that
families living off the main road sought
TO enjoy its advantages by sharing the
expense with nearest post-ruote neigh
bors. AS natural result more news
papers, especially dailies, are taken on
this route than all the otheL local routes
in that part of the state, and city shops
that issued catalogues for circulation in
the mails had a largely increased trade
in that particular region.

THOSE natural business chances
which surround Middletown should
not be neglected while we are striving
after other things Thousands OF
bushels Of good apples will go to waste
within a few miles OF Middletown this
year. The manufacture of cider and
vinegar from these apples would pay
we'll and the cost of plant would be
slight. If the cider could not be dis
posed Of at once it could be utilized
next year in the form of vinegar in
the manufacture of pickles of various
kinds, the fruit and vegetables for
which can be successfully raised in the
immediate neighborhood. It is well
to look out for any new industry which
can be located here, but The natural
resources af the surrounding country
should not be neglected. The eyapOr-
ating and canning of peaches and
other fruits could be made to pay this
year and such an enterprise would
give employment to many of our towns
people. These matters should be
looked after by the Board Of Trade.
We are not SO fayorably situated as
some other towns SO far as the manu-
facture of certain articles is concerned,
but we are in the midst of q fruit
country which is not excelled by any
sect ion Of the world.

Crazed BY Mosquitoes.

Alexander Gordon, a fancy goods

raying maniac yesterday morning from
loss Of sleep caused by the tortures he

the only garment he had on, and it
was necessary to wrap rubber blank

Editors loving Earth.

The Niagara Falls Gazette of Aug
ust 5th says
The members of the Peninsu lar
Press Association are taking in the
sights about Niagara. For all they
are editors they come to the Falls just
like other people. In meeting them
you perhaps recall all the little jokes
you have read about editors and try
and make this or that one fit these men,
but you cannot do it. They fly no
signs that they receive wood or pump
kins in payment for their paper. Re-
ally, it is astonishing. They look we'll,
talk well, and probably wear well.
They don't look as though they sew
their own buttons on, neither would
you for one instant imagine that when
at home they bother the drug store
man to take couple of gross of this
or that patent medicine, which they
have taken for advertising, off their
hands at a discount. These are the
men who while at home in their old
broken chairs feel that unless they
were there the paper would not be is
sued, but according to all reports
everything at their homes is going
right along while they are at Niagara
blowing in the profits of years and
years of toll. The ''devil'' is perhaps
in charge of the different papers, or
perhaps like one paper in this locality,
it is their week off and ''the paper is
running ITSELF"
The Gazette would like very much
to present pictures Of the most prom
inent members Of the association and
the new officers, but these men are
on to all the new shoe and medicine
cuts and they would know the differ
enee, and so the Gazette appears to-day
without these illustrations.

A Brakeman,s Sad Death.

R. J. Satterfield, of Wilmington
was run over and instantly killed by a
freight car at Sudlersville, Nd, at l
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The deceased was a brakeman in the
employ of the Delaware railroad and at
the time of the accident was riding on
the top of the riding car of freight
train. A car in the rear of the riding
car had been cut off the train to be
run on siding and the train was pull
ing out rapidly to pass the switch IN
time to change it and shoot the rear
car on the siding, Satterfield, who
had just signalled that the car had
been cut off, stumbled and fell off the
riding car to the track, when the car
which was being shifted ran over him,
the wheels passing diagonally across
his chest, causing instant death.
The deceased was 28 years of age,
and leaves wife and three children.
He bad been in the employ of the
Delaware Railroad Company for about
three years. He was native of Mil
ford, DEL, where his father and mother
are still living. Previous to being
employed by the railroad company he
had been travelling salesman for
mercantile house at Milford and was
well-known all over the Peninsula.
A singular circumstance in relation
to this fatal accident is the fact that
Satterield was an important witness
before the coroner's jury at the in--
quest held over the body of G.. S. Dean
who was killed at Farnhurst on Mon
day morning last. He explained to
the jury the duties of the various train
men, and removed some old illusions in
that respect. He particularly explaine
that the head brakeman is not the
man in charge of the train.
Before the body left Sudlersville the
Rev. E. C. Macnichol and the ladies of
the town literally covered it with hand
some flowers. This was touching il
lustration of the high regard in which
The deceased was held.

has been in use is of 60-horse power
and when both are in working condi-
