The fishermen in the vicinity of Milford
are complaining in relation to the killing
of the fish in the river in this locality, and
for some distance down the river. The
cause of the trouble has been located, and
it is found that the young shad and other
fish are being destroyed by the thousand
by the refuse from the waste particles of
the tomato, which comes from the boiling
kettles, and which are run off into the
stream.
The hail storm which visited Clayton on
Monday afternoon was one of the severest t
on record. The late corn crop and toma-
toes suffered badly. The herd of cattle be-
longing to John Shahan were considerable
blistered by the hail stones causing large
warts to appear where struck. His hedges
were Utterly trimmed by the sharp edged
hail stones. The farm of George Boggs also
suffered severely. Hailstones smashed 48
window pains in his residence and cut his
crops considerably. Damage was also
wrought on the farms of s. L. Boyd, E. W.
Lapham and other places. Hailstones
ranged anywhere from the size of peas to
hen eggs.
D. K. Reeder, a real estate agent Of
Dover, was arrested this week by Constable
Clifton and taken before Justice Cooper, on
a charge Of libel, preferred by Charles H.
Butler and John R. McGonigal, also real
estate agents. The arrest was due to a real
estate paper, published by Reeder, charg-
ing Butler and McGonigal with being
swindlers. Retder waived hearing and
was held in ST. % bail in each case.
J. R. McGonigaIl has sold the 170 acre
farm of Robert J. Raughley, situated on
the State road near Dover to Robert sipple
for 5000.
1t is said that the Sun Brothers circus did
an excellent business at Camden last Fri
day. Some say they cleared 5000. There
was no ring performance, this being done
away with to evade the war tax.

Undoubtedly the largest peach ever
grown in the State of Maryland, or
perhaps anywhere else was found on
Heath Cling tree in the orchard of
Emory Thomas near Potertown, Wash
ington County. The peach grew on
twig not over an inch in length,
springing from one of the main limbs.
1t was twenty-seven inches in circum-
ference and nine inches through the
center. Mr.. Thomas, fearing the
WEIGHT of the peach was too great for
the twig constructed support under
the peach of sticks fastened to the

THE Ex-AMBAssADoR DEAD.

Hon. Thomas Francis Bayard is
dead. He died comparatively young,
not quite 10, yet he made for himself a
name in the thirty years Of his public
life which has earned him the title of
'the first citizen of Delaware" He
had helps in this direction, he had the
influence of family position and means
and education. Delaware has men
with abilities equal to Mr.. Bayard but
they have lacked his great opportu-
mites. These opportunities he to his
great credit improved, and his fame ex-
tends over two hemispheres to-day. He
had but retired as the FIRST Ambassador
to England and the people of his native
State had no idea that his public life
was closed. All Delawareans honor
Mr.. Bayard for his many good qualities
and regret with sincerity his death.
While Republicans Of the whole
country considered Mr.. Bayard as
among the liberal men Of his party, Re-
publicans of Delaware have known him
as partis n, and he has been credited
as the father Of the assessment and
collection laws which held the State
in political bondage so long. Those
laws we're most unjust. Notwithstand-
ing all that Republicans, would have
been glad to have seen him elected
again to the Senate by the last Legis-
lature. He left the Senate with regret
to 60 into Cleveland's first cabinet and
would without doubt have returned
there with delight. EVERY Evening"
advocated day after day his election
but he was not given vote-.not appar-
emily a thought. Richard R. Kenney
was elected senator.
Mr.. Bayaid will be missed, but cot
so much in Delaware as he would
few years back. He had became
citizen of the nation though he never
ceased to praise the people and the
State from whom his honors first came,
A statesman has fallen.
Middletown transcript., 1898-10-01

After a nomination is no time to
rest. The Republic ms of st. Georges
hundred should win in November.
The matter is in the hands Of the stan
dard bearers chosen and officials of the
party, though every loyal Republican
should 'add his mite" The cards Of
thanks from Messrs. Naudain and
Clayton speak volumes for the unity
OF the party. In conversations with
them we know their cards of thanks
are not mere formalities-they stand to
win.
1t is not true, as reported, that only
colored men voted for Mr.. Clayton.
The colored men divided their vote as
did the whites. Some of the oldest and
leading Republicans gave their votes to
Mr.. Clayton-he has been an untiring
worker. This statement is made only
out of justice and to correct a false
hood.
Another Misrepresentation is the as
sertion that Martin B. Burris, Esq,
was factor in the fight other than to
cast his vote as good citizen. He
was neither a victor nor vanquished.
The primary further proved that no
one man can make nominations in st.
Georges. Sometimes they are made
despite the dickers of selfish men-but
there is no time for hating. The
enemy is camped in the front; on to the
conflict with united ranks.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.

International Sunday School Lesson
for Oct. 2. 1898. Reformation
Under Asa. 2 Chron. IA: 12. Read
Chapters IA, Is, 16. Golden Text
"Help us, 0 Lord our God; for we rest
on Thee" 2 Chron. IA: II.
There was war between Asa, the
third king Of Judah, and Baasha, the
third king of Israel, all their days.
Under previous kings in single battle
Israel lost 500, 900 men and Judah pre-
vailed becarse they relied upon the
Lord God Of their fathers. And Asa
did that which was good and right in
the eyes Of the Lord his God. For he
took away the altars of the strange
gods, and the high places, and brake
down the images, and cut down the
groves: And commanded Judah to seek
the Lord God of their fathers and do
the commandments. The land had
rest and he had no war in those years
because the Lord had given him rest.
He had an army Of $50, 1000 men, and
there came against him Zsrah, the Elm
iopian with 100000 soldiers, and Asa
cried unto the Lcrd his God, ''It is
nothing with Thee to help, whether
with maLy, or with them that have no
power help US o Lord ourGo d; for we
rest on Thee, and in Thy name we
60 against this multitude. 0 Lord,
Thou art our God; let not man prevail
against Thee" 81 the Lord smote the
Ethiopains before Asa, and they were
destroyed before the Lord.
Then the Spirit of God said to Asa,
1.-The Lord is with you, while ye be
with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will
be found Of you but if ye for-sake Him
He will forsake you." And Asa took
courage, and put away abcminable
idols out of all the land, and they en-
tered into covenant to seek the Lord
God of their fathers with all their soul.
And He was found Of them, and the
Lord gave them rest from their
enemies.
And Asa removed his grand mother
ffeeEHfa fffFeeEHfa being being queer, queen, because she had
made an idol in grove; and he cut
down her idol, aud burnt it. He re-
stored the things to the Temple, and
renewed the altar of the Lord.
Then Baasha, king of Israel, came
against him, and Asa relied on Ben
hadad, king of Syria, instead of the
Lord; and Hanani, the prophet. repso-
we'd him, saying, "Were not the Ethi-
opians huge host? yet, because thou
didst rely on the Lord, He delivered
them into thine hand. For the eyes
of the Lord run to and fro throughout
the whole earth, to sheW himself strong
in the behalf Of them whose heart is
perfect before Him. Herein thou hast
done foolishly therefore from hence.
forth thou shalt have wars"
Then Asa was angry with the Pro-
phet and put him in prison, and op-
pressed some some of the people. And
in the Both year Of bis reign, he had
gout in his feet, and sought not the
Lord but to the physicians, and after
two years he died.
''They that seek the Lord shall not
want any good thing" "Our help is
in the name Of the Lord that made
Heaven and earth.

The Middletown TRANSCRIPT In It's
last issue attempts to make a point
against the Democrat for partisanship,
because the latter called attention TO
the disproportion in number of the
grand. Jurors from Kent and Sussex
compared to those from New Castle in
the o. S. District Court.
There was no word in the whole ed
itorial in reference to the partisan. COM
plexion of the jury, and the argument
of the TRANSCRIPT is certainly very
far fetched when it imputes to US mo-
tives that are not warranted by the art
icle he quotes. Oul Article was not di-
rected at all at the politics of the jurors
for of that we know nothing, but the
great preponderance on the jury of one
county of the State. The TRANSCRIPT
asks whether New Castle has not two
thirds of the population of the State,
and whether it is not therefore entitled
to two-thirds of thejurors. Ever since
Wilmington assumed the proportions
of city there has been a contest be-
tween New Castle and the two lower
counties for supremacy. Kent and
Sussex have always fought against be-
ing ruled by the superior numbers OF
New Castle and have successfully main
tanned their position. The new consti.
tuition gives New Castle more repre-
sentation than the other counties, but
nothing like the two-thirds the TRAM
SCRIPT would like it to have. 1t is
not right, and the lower counties have
never considered it right that New
Castle should exercise such prepon-
derance in affairs and the history of the
State shows this to be correct.
The editor gives US credit for more
astuteness than we ever claimed when
be says the editorial was written "to
prejudice the unthinking against that
jury, and it does it." If he Is correct
in his conclusion "that it does it," it
only proves the truth of the couplet
that
''Many a shaft at random sent
Finds mark the archer little meant"
We again disclaim any intention of
being partisan in The article and think
the TRANSCRIPT man draws conclu-
sions at long range in order to find
fault. Delaware Democrat.

Both parties are asking those ques.
