TRAIN WRECKED.


The New York bound train on the New
York, Ontario & Western railroad was
wrecked three miles south of Fulton, near
Syracuse at o'clock Thursday morning.
The wreck was doubtless due to the dast-
ardly work of tramps, who threw open the
switch at which the train was wrecked, as
well as two switches to the north of the
wreck. The train was running nearly so
miles an hour when it struck the switch,
and was thrown over to the side track. The
rapid speed made it impossible to make a
sharp turn, and the train left the track
when it struck the safety rail- The engine
was thrown 20 feet. and blown to pieces.
The tender was inverted The trucks of
the baggage car were torn off, and the head
coach telescoped the baggage car. A vesti-
buled chair car and the sleeper Farragut
were derailed, but neither was badly dam
aged. Engineer Dowd and Fireman Hall
both jumped, and were found under the
wreckage of the tender by passengers from
the sleeper. Both were alive at the time,
but Dowd died in few minutes, and Hall
succumbed to his Injuries three hours later.
The body of Brakeman Osborne was torn
in two.

KENT COUNTY.

As has been proven in former years no
man can tell what the peach crop will be
until it is marketed. In spite of the report
that there would be no peaches at all in this
county we learn that there are several
growers that have good crops. More fruit
has been shipped from Dover this season
than for several years. The prices have
been good and no doubt the crop will be a
great ben eft to the people of this county.
Isaac Gruwell, near Sandtown, has already
realized over $1,000. James L. Cohee over
$500 and we are informed that J. Wesley
Stevens, of Camden, will have 1900 baskets
