Tribute OF Respect.

As s'Women's Christian Temperance
Union" we greatly deplore the loss by
death of Sister Eliza Anderson. The re-
moval of one so thoroughly identified with
the cause we represent, is great calamity.
The demand to-day for those who are
willing to put themselves on the side Of
" God and Home, and Native Land" is
an urgent one. Her sympathy with the
suffering and unfortunate; her deeds Of
love and charity will be remembered by
the people of our community and he1
name will be kept fresh in the minds oi
those whose lives and homes have been
blessed by her presence, and tender minis.
terings.
While we deeply lament the departure
of one of our most active and earnest mem
bers, who was in full sympathy with
every line of work in which our organiza-
tion is engaged ; we are gratifed in the
belief that she, in her upright christian
life and character has left an example
worthy of imitation,
We will cherish the memory, and en-
deavor to emulate her life, and seek to Sc
cure at last the reward she now enjoys, as
"good and faithful servant" in the
cause of the Divine Master.

A small Boys Bad Luck.

An Elkton lad was recently play
ing marbles in earnest and was un-
fortunate enough tolose every game,
until at last he found that he-had
lost all the marbles he had. Nothing
daunted and with the vain hope of
winning back some of his lost treas
ures he took out one of his eyes,
which was glass, and put it in the
ring. 1t also went into the pocket of
his opponent, and the latter refused
to give it up for less than twenty-five
cents. The necessary amount was
procured and the glass eye was care
fully restored to its former position
in the head of the small boy, whose
greed for gain is something remark
able. This is true story and is
vouched for by reliable parties.

into effect yesterday morning. The
first mail north in the morning now
closes at $40, instead of 7.34, as for

arrives on the SAT train. By this ar

New York, Philadelphia and West

the Peninsula on the midnight Nor
folk express and will be sent back
and distributed on the express arriv-

enable them to open the Office an

than formerly, but it will greatly in
the farmers and others
who cannot find time to get their
evening mail until eight O'Clock or

HAPPENINGS OF A WEEK IN A THRIv

ITEMS OF INTEREST.


| II Mrs. Homan returned home this
week, after an absence of four months,
visiting friends in Wilmington.
| = The latest accounts from Mrs. Max
well are most encouraging she is able to
sit up now for short time each day..
= Mr.. James Zegler of the firm of Pam
coast & Ziegler, started on business trip
to Williamsport this week, to be gone
about ten days.
= The pupils of Professor Gardeners
division of the Delaware City public school,
gave their annual May party at the Della
ware City Battery on Friday afternoon.
The day was perfect, and very pleasant
time was spent among the grassy hills at
that favorite place. Miss Helen Cheairs
was crowned queen of May.
1t is reported that the steamer Chris
tiana, which is owned by the Wilmington
& Northern railroad. and which has been
running between Wilmington and Penns-
grove for several years, will run between
Wilmington and Augustine Pier during
the summer season, stopping at Pennsville,
New Castle and Delaware City.
Ex-Sheriff Baird and wife of Cam
den, N. j., spent Sunday and Monday
here. Mr.. Baird, besides being one of the
principal timber men of the country is also
prominent leader of -thei Republican
party in Camden county, N. j. A large
tow of his timber passed through here on
Monday and was towed to Camden by the
tug G. G. Ash.
Andrew Jackson, colored, who has
lived here for number of years, and who
has been under suspicion for long time,
was arrested on Saturday morning, charg-
ed with the theft of can of lard from Mr.
Jacob Frempt, and before his trial was
completed several other charges of stealing
were lodged against him, all of which
were sustained at his examination before
Mayor Reybold on Saturday evening, when
he was committed to New Castle Jail, and
will be tried at the coming term of court.
Mr.. Frempt had missed his lard for sever
al days. He had occasion to go into Mr..
N. G. Prices store on Saturday morning
to purchase some lard, and was surprised
to see him take the lard from can which
he recognized as his own property. On
inquiry he learned that Mr.. Price had
bought the can of lard from Andrew Jack
son, when he Immediately obtained war
rant for his arrest. Mr.. Price at once sus-
pected jackson of the robbery of his store,
reported in TRANSCRIPT last week, and
lost no time in getting out search war
rant for Jackson's house where the stolen
goods were found in large closet which
was locked, and among them other goods
that were probably stolen from other
places. Petty thieving has been going on
around our town for several years, and cir
cumstances indicate that jackson is the
man who did it, and his arrest is very
satisfactory to all our citizens.
Owing to the late arrival OF our Della
ware City letter and the rush of other mat
ter we are obliged to leave part of it out
this week.-[ED.

The Peach Crop VS.. tn e Cold Snap.
Much anxiety is being felt by the
people throughout the county as to
what effect the recent cold snap has
had on the young fruit and more par
ticularly the peaches. A representa-
tive of this paper talked with several
prominent farmers yesterday and to-
day and the general opinion seems to
be that the peaches have not been
materially injured.
Mr.. Henry Clayton says: 81 was
through my orchard Wednesday and
upon close examination found that
the fruit had not been injured to any
extent. Some of the young peaches
have shriveled up and will fall off,
but the number is small. The cold
weather has done little damage so
far, but If it continues it cannot fail
to greatly injure the prospects of a
crop. Clear, warm weather is what
is wanted now, and if we have this
the peach crop will still be safe''
Mr.. Sewell c. Biggs also stated that
he had examined some of his trees
yesterday and was gratified to find
but very few dead peaches, and he
does not think these were all killed
by the cold weather. He says the
fruit had grown very fast up to the
past few days and the young peaches
are now considerably larger than
peas. He thinks the prospects for a
big crop at present are excellent.
Mr.. A. P. Crockett does not think
his fruit is injured to any serious ex-
tent and thinks he will have good
crop.
Mr.. William Price broke off a small
branch bearing fifty peaches this
morning from one of his trees, and
found nearly every one of them in
good condition.
Mr.. w. B. Biggs thinks he will have
a heavy crop on his Maryland orchards
and does not believe the peaches are
seriously injured by the present cold
weather.
Mr.. R. L. Price has looked over his
orchards this morning and finds the
young fruit in good condition. Every
one who has peaches seems hopeful
and state that if one peach in ten
natures the crop will be good.
