No Grounds for Action.

The matter of entering suit against the
Fitchburg railroad company To recover
damages on account of the recent ter
rible killing near Pownal, has been lett
in the hands of Lawyers Thayer, Ashe
and Magenis, of North Adams. 1t IS
doubtful if any action can be taken.
The accident happened in Vermont
State which has law prohibiting Sun
day travel unless in case of necessity or
charity, and it is held that the cases
could not be COTTON before jury as it
could not be shown that the men who
were killed were travelling Tor anything
but pleasure. If they were travelling IL,
legally there is no ground for suit. Could
the case be gotten to a jury it would be-
come necessary to show that the rail
road had violated the law or was negli'
gent.

The Methodist evangelistic move
ment in Wilmington for which the
ministers of that denomination have
been working for several months has
been successfully inaugurated at Grace
Church. The services at the church
yesterday were not only largely at.
tended, but were OfR deeply interest
ing and impressive character.
Says the Wilmington Sunday Star:
l observed young colored woman, one
evening last week, sauntering along
Market street, stylish dressed and with
"Trilby" heart hanging at her waist.
This is pleasing and assuring. don't
know what the Trilby heart signifies,
as find no account of it in "Trilby,"
but being a heart, it probably signifies
something real nice. The cOlored
sister has a perfectly obvious right to
something real nice as we'll as anybody
else.
The death of Mr.. G. 7. R. Bates,
Son of Hon. Geo. H. Bates under cir
cumstances indicating that his life had
been accidently ended by the dis
charge of his own fOwling piece, Thurs
day will remain a sad and inexplcable
mystery. A young man, of brilliant
talents, on the threshold of his profess
iOnal career, his untimely end strikes a
chord in the hearts of the people OF
that community. He graduated at
Harvard in '92 and would in a few
months be admitted to the bar.
DEATH OF ISAAC SOLOMON.-IsaaC
Solomon, who thirty-fve years ago was
wellknOwn business man of Will
mington, died at his home at the
"Buttonwoods, between Wilmington
and New Castle, on Saturday. Isaac
Solomon was the brother of John Solo
mon, who was the father of John NJ.
Solomon, the well-known coal dealer.
Before going to Wilmington he operated
a soap factory at the corner of Com
merce and East streets over 40 years
ago.
PEACHES ARE GONE.-The Peninsula
peach crop is now thing of the past
On Saturday there were very few
shipped from the Peninsula. The sea
sons work over 5000 carloads. Som,
of the cars were not full, while other
, held 500 baskets. An estimate of 60t
baskets to each car is fair one, ant
according to this rate, there wer,
shipped over 100000 baskets o
peaches from the Peninsula by trains
In addition to this, there must have
been nearly a million baskets shipped
by water and hauled in wagons. Thi
would bring the crop up to nearl
100000 baskets. The benefit of tn
crop to the Peninsula is $2,00O,00(
and it may have been a few Thousand
dollars more.

Dress Goods tie Dry Goods
IeSt-There are few really
great retail Dry Goods stores
in the world. Paris has two,
possibly three. London has
none that will compare favor
ably with those in Paris. The
ideal store has not appeared
in New York.
Philadelphia has Wana-
makers. Public judgment
seals this as the great success
in American retailing. We ac-
cept the verdict and justify it
by appeal to the perennial
stock of Dress Goods.
Years ago we made the stan
dard: The most complete
Dress Goods stock in America.
No variation, no declension ir
quantity, or variety, has since
been tolerated. The collection
