An Investigation Spells the Reported
Discovery of an Old-time Double
Murder at Houston, Del.
The Philadelphia Times, yesterday,
published what purported to be special
dispatch from Houston, Del, of which
the following is an epitome:
"Josiah Hensley, fruit grower of
this nelghborhood, yesterday rooted up
an old tree on his farm which, many
years ago, was struck by lightning, and
came across coffin containing the re-
mains ola woman and child The bodies
were in a state Of almost perfect preserv-
alton, the look of agony on the mothers
face being still painfully clear. About her
neck was found fine steel chain twisted
so tightly that she must have died from
suffocation. Her hands were also so
secured, The child, an infant of a
few weeks, had been killed by
some sharp instrument, which had
penetrated its skull at the base of the
brain. All trace of clothing had disap-
peared, but near the woman's feet were
a pair OF silver shoe buckles such as
were worn in the latter part of the las.
century, while in the baby's hands was
found coral rattle, with whistle at
tached, such as is carried by the boat
swain Of a ship. The coffin in which
the two were buried also seemed to have
been sort of seaman's chest, rather too
short for the woman, for her knees were
elevated as if she had been hurriedly
thrust into the box while yet warm and
flexible. The child must have been
murdered while it lay on her breast, for
there were a few particles resembling
grains of coarse sand, which DR.. Dee
pronounced to be portions of the brain. I"
NOTHING IN IT.
A telegram was sent to THE GA
zETTE's Correspondent at Milford, a few
miles from Houston, directing him to
investigate and ascertain if there was
truth in the story. He did SO and re-.
piled as follows:
"No. None of the parties named are
known at Houston, Del"
The story seems like another of the
fakes" which some Philadelphia papers
have been spreading quite freely Of late.

banking firm of Elliott g. johnson, died
suddenly at the home of her parents,
No.: 1908 Jefferson street, at 11.30

cided improvement in the patient until

the paper does not reach him in time or
he hasn't the time to read it, His wife

likewise not unfavorable to the change,

WAsHrNeToN, July mo uneasiness is
felt at the White House over the reported
illness OF the President. His ailment is
attributed TO the elimination of several
slight attacks of rheumatism coming
during the last two months. The idea that
he has cancerous growth in his mouth is
laughed at. tits known that he has been
occasionally troubled with toothache of
late. although not enough to cause him
much pain or even annoy him sufficiently
to require the services of dentist. Added
TO these troubles the voyage is thought to
have made him bit seasick and given
him headache. from which he has not

Itappears that small increase of trees

large decrease has been on Delaware
railroad proper from Kirkwood to Dover.
and parallel lines in Maryland.
Furthermore, it will be noticed that the
peach growers estimate complied from
the reports given to the railroad agents il
largely in excess of the railroad figures.
It has been found by experience that the
shipments of peaches from the Peninsula
is in a great measure dependent upon Tie
weather, and while the crop looks large at
present, the weather being hot may de.
crease shipments greatly and of course the
PRICES obtained in the various markets.

Clayton Call, July 18th.
We published through the kindness Of
!, n. Mills, special agent of the p, w. d.
b. railroad, on June 9th, the railroad esti-
mate of the peach crop Of the Peninsula
as corrected by him. This estimate we
find has been questioned as to quantity BY
several papers, and after pleasant inter
view we give this week an estimate Of the
peach growers themselves, with other in
formation gathered by him. This last es.
innate was obtained by railroad agents
from each grower they could reach.
II shows what has been demonstrated in
former seasons by comparing their esti-
mate with the amount carried over the
roads, that in seasons like the present the
prevailing IDEA is to over-estimate.
This has caused trouble and expense to
the railroad company in former years to
tit up more cars than was actually needed
therefore the officers of the railroad corn,
pany generally make very conservative
or low estimate; this is for the use of the
company alone and not generally intended
for the public.
AS given by the growers the figures an
