FRUIT NOT INJURED.
Peninsula Growers Say the Recent Cold
Spell Was Harmless,

A special from Bridgeville, Del, regard
ing the fruit says: Despite the fact that
this section was visited by heavy snow
storm on Thursday last, the fruit prospects
yet remain good, and, after careful ex-
animation it is found that peaches were not
seriously damaged The only damage
done was by the hail, which cut the buds
from the trees.
1t is feared that Strawberries are injured,
but not to any great extent 1t appears
that pears, cherries, etc, were but slightly
damaged. Asparagus was damaged to the
greatest extent and no more shipments will
be made for several days.
No true estimates Of the peach crop can
yet be made as the June drop" is not yet
on. The peach crop, however, depends
upon the Early River variety. This variety
is uniDjured. but rots and falls off before
ripening.
Owing to the fact that so many berries
are being grown, growers fear that they
will be unable to secure pickers and have
accordingly appointed agents and sent them
into Maryland and Virginia to secure
pickers. The shipments will be enormous,
and growers estimate the daily shipment to
be from thirty to forty cars The apple
crop will be small as many varieties are
killed.

BURGLARS IN TOWN.

Thieves Break in the Farrelly Residence
at .sOak Lawn Tuesday Night.
Burglars have again disturbed peace
full Morristown, entering on Tuesday
night the homestead place of Patrick
Farrelly, known as coax Lawn" on
Washington avenue. In the absence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Farrelly and family at
Nantucket, the house is occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Cummings of New
York. The burglars entered by dining
room window which was found open in
the morning, but beyond this there is not
the slightest clue. The thieves carried
off but very little booty as the family had
made it point to bring out only such
goods as were necessary for use during
the summer. A fine ink stand, paper
rack and several penholders, all of silver,
and several small fancy articles were
taken, and the loss will not amount to
$50, though reward of S100 has been
offered for detection Of the thief. There
was no night watchmen employed on the
place.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.

DR.. Wrights Buggy Smashed TO Pieces on
High Street-Marvelous Escape.
About the sorriest looking wreck of a
carriage ever seen in Morristown was
the remains of DIR. j. E. Wright's buggy,
which lay in heap on High street
yesterday noon, the result of runaway
accident. Stephen Grifiths. it appears,
was driving up High street with buck
board from Losey's stables on his way to
Bernardsville, and seated with him was
Miss Timmons and her cousin, who is
visiting from East Orange. On reach
ing the top of the hill, one of the reins
became entangled in the horses tail and
caused him to kick and run away, dash
ing with all speed into the horse and
buggy before DR. Wright's door. The
doctors horse, which was standing tied
at the curb, was thrown and the wagon
completely overturned and smashed and
battered to pieces. The young ladies
jumped from the wagon just before the
collision and Stephen was thrown out,
all escaping without serious injury but
badly frightened Both horses were
quite severely bruised.

The Horse show.

Interest is rapidly increasing in the
horse show which is to be held at the
Driving Park in this city on October
6, Z and 8. The fact that over SO, 500
has been subscribed in prizes makes the
list over ST. 900 more than last year. The
changes made by the committee in the
arrangements of the boxes will be appre-
ciated by the patrons Three persons
will be seated abreast in the boxes in
stead Of two, as formerly, while the loca-
tion back Of raised platform is also an
improvement. The number will be in
creased from fifty-two to seventy five,
and they will be sold at auction at the
Field Club house. The entries will be
largely in excess of those of last year.
Four-fifths Of the prize lists will be for
competition by residents of Morris,
Somerset and adjoining counties An
other feature which will be appreciated
by the public is the reduction of the
general admission to SO cents. The
management of the show is in the same
hands as that Of last year, thus insuring
a most successful occasion for the Field
Club and the public in general,
