A Few Lives were Lost And Hundreds of
Peach Trees we're Blown Down-Dam-
age to Growing Crops.
Reports of tho damage done by the
wind and hail storm Ia the lower part OF
the state on Tuesday are coming In from
all parts. II was the most severe ste rm
that has ever visited Kent and Sussex
counties for years. The wind and hail did
many Thousand dollars worth OF damage
At Milford one man lost his life. aud
there are fears that several more have
become victims OF the storm. All the
men we're connected with the sturgeon
fishing feet st the mouth of the
MispiiliOn river at least q scors of
boats was wrecked, and an unknown
man disappeared under the waters Of
Delaware bay. Two boats have not been
heard from, and it is feared that their
crews. consisting OF four men, have been
lost There were a number Of thrilling
rescues, seven men being hauled out Of
the water I'm q dJiog corditIon.
Out of $50 boats In the storm only one
came into the river under sail This was
the boat of Captain George Daisy, the
veteran sturgeon fisherman of Gloucester.
N. j All the other boats were wrecked
20 badly that they did not have a yard of
canvas left to put to their masts. Cap
tain Daisy says that 1t was the hardest
storm that he has ever experienced In the
twenty i'd years that he has been fol
lowing the sturgeon fishing buslneis.
Probably the greatest dsmage was
done to the peach crop. The storm
swept right through the pssch belts OF
Kent and SUSSEX counties Hundreds OF
trees were blown down. The growers
say that It is imp 'ssible to estimate the
loss, but believe that the crop will be at
least one-thlrd less than they expected a
few weeks ago

nuPont or q pemocrat.

Republicans who are striving TO seat
Colonel Henry A DUPONT as senator
from Delaware base their hopes upon the
votes OF Stewart and Jones. both Popu
lists. Past experience has proved that
these two senator's are not wholly reliable
aud the vote to day. II one be taken,
may surprise the Republicans more than
Democrats.
What blow to the AddIcks wing Of
the Republican party It would be were
Colonel Du Pont seated, and what cause
for jubllatIon in the Higgins camp to
have friend at court for four or FIVE
years AddickS covets the seat which
Colonel DUPONT Is striving for, and Is
laying all his plans In anticipation that
the Senate will refuse to seat the
present contestant. 1t will not suit
either his plans or his purposes to have
Colonel DUPONT seated In the frst
place It. will thwart his vengeance; In
the second place. 1t will thwart his am
bltion, and, In tAs third place, 1t will
give the independent Republican party an
official head and Federal recognition not
to be despIsed, especially should Nc
Klnley be elected President.
Addicks does not wish to wait for the
expiration OF Senator Gray's term. So
many things may turn up In three years
that he feels anxious TO have the seat
vacated by Senator Higgins and be firmly
fl xed In The senatorial saddle for six
years. dispensing patronage and all that
sort OF thing.
Now that the Republican split has
come and tbe Democrats have assurance
that they can defeat the Addicks wing;
they are as anxious as Addcks that the
Senate should uphold the action Of Gov
ernor Watson Ia exercising his leglsla-
tive prerogatives on the last day Of the
session. Il will give them a grand op'
portuuity to send ex Chancellor James l.

tative and deserving Democrat to serve
instead OF Higgins, Dupont and Ad-
dicks.

As June approaches thoughts of be.
coming gowns and dainty accessories be
gins TO exercise the minds OF fair girl
graduates and their admiring reia-
lives and friends. Wilmington has Its
share OF institutions OF learning, and
the graduating classes this year
are larger than usual. In anti
clpation of commencement exercises
the shops are already crowded with
shoppers. The fancy this year
appears to run TO less expensive
materials such as thin muslins and
orgsndies, and simple styles will
prevail From present indications
IL would seem that the day OF
silk, jswslry and elaborate trimming Is
over. The list Of commencement exer-
cIses is headed by the Goldey Whining
ton Commercial and Shorthand College.
The pupils of this institution will be
graduated on Thursday evening, June 4,
at tho Opera House Then will follow
the High School and the various select
schools Of Wilmington.
