During the last two nights Jack Frost
has reappeared. The result was that ice was
made. Fears are entertained for the fruit
trees. From Bridgeville comes the news
that havoc has been wrought 10 the peach
buds All the buds which were open are
undoubtedly killed. The dampness which
preceded the heavy frost helped to make
the death Of the buds more sure.
Strawberries that were in blossom arc
also Killed. Fruit growers down the state
will lose thdhsaads Of dollars by the frost
Of the past few nights.

OUR FAMOUS FLYING SQUADRON
One of the Most Formidable Ever
Gathered Under Any Flag.

One of the Most Formidable Ever
Gathered Under Any Flag.
Hampton Roads, April 4.-The prac-
tical completion Of a flying squadron of
the American navy by the assignment
OF Commodore W. s. Schley to take
charge, and his acceptance. as marked
by his active operation of Monday last.
is an epoch marking event in the his
tory Of the present difficulty.
No other action of this government
since the Maine disaster so actively
determines the fact that actual war;
faro has been expected. The North
Atlantic squadron is always organized,
and the appointment Of Captain Samp-
son to its command is but the natural
sequence of the retirement of Rear Ad-
miral Sicard from actual duty. So, too,
the assignment Of ships Of war to that
squadron or to the Pacific squadron
are but moves toward mobilization that
might occur at any time.
But flying squadrons are the direct
outcome of dangerous war conditions,
are not necessities of standing navies
in time of peace, and are expeditions Of
an extraordinary nature, created only
when the government fully decides that
there Is fear of attack or that the time
is ripe for an attack from here. 1t Is
therefore not only possible, but highly
probable, that the new American flying
squadron has work cut out for it.
The fleet is one Of the most formid-
able that can be gathered together by
any nation. In average rate of speed,
in armored protection, in caliber and
number of guns, and in fighting quality
and discipline of men 1t can be proven
that the composition of this flying
squadron is superior, point of numbers
like nature to be formed by foreign
power.
Evidence of an unmistakable char.
acter is apparent that every man, from
stoker to commandant, is not only
fearless of battle, but courts 1t and
hopes it will come. The small caliber
gun that fired The commodore salute
last Monday morning with blank cart
ridge sang out high pitched paen of
welcome and peace. But in every eye
is the kindling spark of vengeance for
fellow seamen hurled to death, and the
hope that the cannon's tenor note may
be changed to the dreadful war.
In the makeup of the flying squadron
speed and fighting qualities have been
considered. A summary Of the points
in comparison with those of the best
boats that Spain can offer in making
81 foI1,

been employed At the bakery of j. Miller
at the corner OF Adams and Linden street.
Recently Fritz has been telling stories to
the boss how Max hadlbeen in tho habit Of
carrying eggs away from the shop to his
family.
This led to warm words andFritz cussed
Max until the latter became angry and

he had him arrested OIL tho charge of dis-
orderly conduct. Magistrate Kelley heard
the case and decided that Fritz should pay
the costs.
