The Cape May Excursion.
A FRIEND.

What promises to be the most enjoyable
excursion of the season is the one to be
given by the Elkton Council Jr. o. U. A. NJ.
On the palace steamer "Republic' to Cape
May on July a. The committee having the
excursion in hand have spared no expense
a ID trouble in their endeavors to make the
day an enjoyable one. Cape May is an ideal
place for an excursion by boat: pleasant
sail down the historic Delaware, which
abounds in so many interesting places and a
say long enough at the shore for a beach
ride or IA dip in the briny deep. As an addi-
tional pleasure the committee have selected a
date when the Republic" takes those who
desire Il run to the breakwater. which is
one of the features of the trip and no doubt
will Ue taken advantage Of by many. The
"Republic" has been newly fitted up and is
now considered one of the fastest boats ahoat
or as it is apty termed, floating palace of
amusement. Special train leaves EIkton
station, 7.45 H. m., stopping at Iron Hill and
Newark.

"There is Reaper whose name is Death. -
As the day was drawing to a close on June
nineteenth this Reaper called Joseph II.
Crothers to give up the mortal and take the
immC rtal. He had been in declining health
for the past year, but not thought serious.
His death was IA shock to his family and
many friends, and it seemed too soon he
had need Of him and took to the mansion He
had prepared for him. While he is sadly
missed, we have the consolation that he is
safe as he said just before his spirit took its
flight II am not afraid to die
His many kind acts to his neighbors will
cause him to be long remembered. During
his short life he was the unfatering friend to
all with whom he came in contact.
Mr.. Crothers was an honest, Industrious
young man, ambitious to save for old age,
not given to wastefulness: he was born near
College Green, this county, in eighteen hun
dred and lifty-four; learned the art of car
pentry while youth, which made him useful
to all and Il source Of wealth to himself He
spent IA portion of his time in Upland, Pa,
working at his trade
He leaves widowed mother and several
brothers. one of them John L. Crothers, a
teacher in this county, to mourn his untimely
death. His remains were laid in the "Silent
City, on Sunday afternoon, June 23d, at
Ebenezer NJ. L. Church.
And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The child whom she did love;
She knew she would find him again
In the fields OF light above"

day quietly and pleasantly. All were having
good time when the boys prepared to go in
pathlhg. Young Janvier was a good SWIM
mer and proposed swimming to sloop that
was anchored near but told the others to 90
back. He had only gone short distance
when he went down. They thought he was
diving, especially as he came up, but he sank
again, never to rise. The boys could not do
much more than paddle, so were of no assis-
tance, and they had to 80 four miles for helm
whlle the distracted mother waited on the
shore. 1t was five hours before his body was
recovered, and then it was not more than
twelve yards from shore. Immediately after
raising the body blood gushed from the
mouth. The cause of drowning was heart
disease.

GOOD PEACH CROP.
1t Is Estimated That the Peninsula Will
Yield 100000 Baskets.

1t is estimated that the Peninsula peach
crop will reach 100000 il all continues fav-
orable The growers are all pleased with the
prospect. The Maryland counties will have
good crops but they will not equal those of
Delaware.
The summer storms, however, are likely to
knock many peaches from the trees in the
mids! of the season just as they did two years
ago, when there were several millions of
baskets lost in that way
The best crop will be within "A radius of
twelve miles of Georgetown, in Sussex county,
where it is said that the crop will be the lare
est in the history of peach raising in that
State The trees about Milford and Seaford
are also in a fair condition, but there will not
be full crops in those sections. 1t seems a
strange thing that in some sections the crops
will be the largest ever grown from the same
number of trees, while in other regions there
will no peaches worth shipping. This is the
case
The smaIlness of the yield compared with
former years is not wholly due to the failure
of the fruit in certain places, but it is due to
the growers to pull up many trees, while the
yelows have destroyed tree in addition to
those which have been pulled up. Years ago
it was not Il common thing to see orchards
containing thousands OF trees and some of
them were immense in size, but all this has
gone. The present orchards are small and
many of them have been kept up in the hopes
that big crop would some time result and
pay for them. In the upper part OF Kent
count, Maryland, which was formerly great
peach-growing county, there is not an or
chard of 5000 trees, while formerly there Were
orchards which contained as many as 10000.
1t did not pay to keep them and the trees
were pulled up and something else planted.
In some places in that county it is said that
there will not be more than II basket of
peaches to Il tree while in Others the crop
will be large. Why this is no one seems able
to tell. Fruit growers cannot tell what it is
that causes the peach belt to move or causes
the trees TO bear sometimes i'll another.
One fruit grower who was talked to re-
Gently was of the opinion that the peach trees
took something IRON the ground which they
could not get back again, and for that reason
the crop on those trees failed. He thought
that the leaves and decayed fruit of the trees
falling upon the ground would give the trees
exactly what they needed ii the leaves and
fruit were allowed to remain there. Forest
tree thrive and grow he said, for just this
reason. In peach orchards, however, all OF
the fruit is gathered up and used for some
purpose.
