THE PRESENT BERRY CROP.
Heavy Yield Reported all Over the State
and Peninsula.

The papers all over the Peninsula
speak of the immense crop of straw
berries.
The Transportation Steamboat line.
running between this section and Phil
adelphia, carried daily last week, about
1000 crates. The BRADY" (Which is
now of this line) took up Monday,
about 1900 crates, as did the Van
Sciver,-abOut 2,4OO in all for the day
from Smyrna and Flemings Landing,
to say nothing of $50 crates of tomatoes
cattle, calves and other freight.
1t was largely over down the PENN
sula before the hot wave of this week
set ina certain reaction from the long
cold spell the latter part of May. The
very warm, as well as dry weather of
the past week has necessita ted quick
handling and q certain shortening of
the crop.
The railroads have handled bv far
the bulk of the yield, and the agencies
of the Pennsylvania r. r. Company
have done the work we'll, berries reach
ing the consumers in good condition
and within a few hours after being
loaded on the cars. Refrigerator cars
have been used most exclusively
for ihe carrying of the berry crop.
The competition this year in the
purchasing of berries has been quite
active in some places, and growers
have been generally benefited and
prices kept up by the number of buyers
on the spot. In this matter cash has
been quickly realized and soon put
into circulation, thus affording to the
communities of the berry-belt much
good. The presence of buyers has
solved the problem of finding a means
of getting the berry product to the con.
sumer. without the necessity Of de-
pending altogether upon commission
men-Often INSCRIPTIONS and who have
in some cases defrauded the growers
and held berries so long as to make
them unfit for use. The object if to
get the berry buyer to come to tine
country and pay for the fruit as
they get it,

THE UNITED WORKMEN.
Curtis E. Davis Named as a Representative
TO the Supreme LOdge-Mem-

Grand Master Workman, Frank p.
Lackey of the A. o. U. W, has ac-
cepted the resignation of J. E. Carroll
of Dover as a representative to tn e
Supreme Lodge, which will shortly
meet in indianapolis, and has appoin-
ted Former Grand Master Workman,
Curtis E. Davis, of Laurel, in his
place.
The Rev. n. H. Miller, ID. D., by
reason of his removal from this juris-
diction, has resigned from the press

Middletown, has been appointed in
his place. DIR. Miller removed from

1860. At the end of May of this year,
the total membership was 1866, or
more than enough to secure to

GORED BY AN ENRAGEO BULL.
A FARM HAND NEAR BIACKISTON'S
BARELY ESCAPED DEATH.
Bull Experiences of the Week, On tie
Farms Of Geo. W. Thomas, NJ. Lurty,
and Others.

Last week we gave chapter on
violent bull, and the narrow escape
that W. o. HOffecker, John p. Collins
and Mr.. Mattiford had from it. His
bullship did not make a visit to Phila-
delphia that day, as was expected.
Mr.. Collins, however, bought and
shipped him on Monday, the chain
around the neck and ring in the nose
completely subduing him, when he
found it did no good to rear and pitch.
1t was in this mood on the boat that
Mr.. Collins patted him on the rump,
remarking in gentle way to the bull
that che could do him no harm now. :"
But this was not the only bull on the
rampage. Saturday, Frank Gootee's
bull in the possession of George w.
| Thomas, on the Lea farm, near Black
istOn's Cross Roads, jumped the farm
hedge into the road. A young man
named Fowler, at work for Mr.. farrell
on the "Green" farm, tried to drive
him back, striking him over the head
with a chunk. This broke in two.
with no other effect than to enrage the
brute, and he jumped into his assail-
ant and would have killed him on the
spot but for the fact that boy who
was working with him in trimming
the hedge ran up and stuck his sicle
into the bull. This caused the latter
to turn and run after the boy, who
however, made his escape. While this
was going on the PROSTATE man
crawled under the fence and escaped
what would otherwise have been GER
tain death. Fortunately the bull had
been dehorned. Yesterday the man
was somewhat improved, but it will
be some time before he can work.
This does not number the enraged
animals of the week. A boy on the
farm of Mr.. NJ. Lurty, near Green
Spring, was in nearly as perilous a
position on Friday as those named
above. A bull took after him in the
field and he took refuge on the top of
a straw stack. The attack on the
stack was so savage that he feared il
would be tOppled over, SO he slipped
down on the other side and made fol
the pound, a hundred yards distant.
He barely made his escape, for the
bull had spied him and was only few
seconds in his rear when the fence was
scaled. 1t is probable that Mr.. John
P. Collins will purchase both of these
animals and have them in the city
before another week.

WOMAN'S FOREIGN MISSIONS.
A Delightful Thank Offering Service Held at
the Residence Of Mrs. John II.
HOffecker.

The Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society held very delightful 'Thank
Offering Service" at the residence of
Mrs. John H. Hoffecker, last Thurs
day afternoon. There were some sew
enteen in attendance, and the program
rendered was one of special interest
throughout. The musical part of the
program was very enjoyable. This
was made so by the cooperation of
some friends of the society, who gave
their talent toward making it an enter
tanning feature. For this the members
showed their appreciation by giving a
vote of thanks. There were two orig
inal papers read, one entitled, ''The
Story of the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society,"" by Miss Annie SUIT
ton, and the other paper on "Kor ea"
by Mrs. John H. Hoffecker. Both
were highly entertaining, and well re-

of hearing them.

OLD DRAWERS CHURCH.
Memorial Meeting Held Last Sunday Be-
fore a Large Congregation-Many
Smyrnians Present.


Rev. DIR. J. L. Estlin, who had been
invited to take part in the services at
Old Drawers Presbyterian church,
near Odessa, left our church here
without servlcese except that of the
Sunday School and Christian Endeavor.

w. Watkins, Mr.. and Mrs. f. H. Beck.
Mrs. Mary L. Boyd, Mr. Edward NJ.

w. Spruance, and Mr.. Isaac Senix.
Most every town of New Castle
county was represented, the large
church being we'll filed. When it was
built in I'LL, on through the century,
it was the place of the weekly meeting
of large congregation, but genera
tion or more ago, a church was built
in the town, and the meetings are now
held only once a year and it is always
notable event. 1t was what was
called an all days meeting.
There were six clergymen present to
speak or take part in some form. Rev.
DIR. McLain preached in the morning
ing and Rev. c. P. Mallery, in the after
noon, Rev. DR.. Estlin opening the
services at the last named meeting.

founding of Old Drawers, what it had
stood for and what impression had
made upon the present.

The Transfer of the Brady Steamboat Prop
erty Legally Made Last Saturday Morn
ing and Str. Brady Put on Daily Line.

Under the agreement that those who
had in charge the purchase of the
Brady Steamboat Property were to
comply within ten days, John H.
Hotfecker, president of the Transpor-
tation Co., and E. H. Beck, of the
firm of COsgriff & Beck, went to Mid
dletown last Saturday morning, paid
over the money, secured the certificate
of stock, and an order for the property.
Under the sale some 200 shares of
stock, the corporate seal, &C., were
transferred to Mr.. Hoffecker, and then
the committee adjourned to meet in
Smyrna Monday morning, when an
organization was to be effected. As
soon as Mr.. HOffecker returned from
MiddletOwn with the order, all the
Brady Steamboat property was turned
over and the Steamer Brady put on
the line to assist the Steamer Elizabeth
Van Solver to make up the daily trips.
On Monday a meeting was held at

fees. i'll Smyrna, then adjourned to the
office of Cosgriff Il Beck. The follow
ing directors were elected:
A. i. Hudson, Sr.,
Isaac r. Staats,
A. G. McCausland,
A. f. Jardine,

The Directors then met and elected
John H. Hoffecker President, and A.
+. Jardlne, secretary. A name was
not chosen under which the reorgan-
lied company will operate Without
entering further into the business,
! the Board of Directors adjourned to

Under the present condition of
things the Brady Steamboat Company.
which is Incorporated under the laws
of the State of Delaware, and under
which name the transfer had to be
made to become legal, will be contin-
ued for the present. This will save
the Board of Directors great deal of
cost which would necessarily be made
should they apply to Secretary of
State j. II. Hughes for incorporation

The fight between the Republican

which was to demonstrate their
strength in the city, and their ability
to prevent the Regulars from electing
ticket in the stronghold of that
faction. The Union men control the
party in Kent and Sussex and the fight
was an assault ''into the enemy's
country"
By the result of the election, the
Regulars lose the patronage in the city,
which enabled them to keep up strong
organization. The Democrats will
now control the water department and
the street and sewer commission, which
the Regulars now have. The only
thing left to the Regulars will be the
police commission and the tax collec-
tor of the Northern district.

W. j. DOUGHTEN'S LOSS.
Two Hack Horses Believed TO Have Been
Poisoned, From Which one of
them has DIED.

W. J. Doughten, who operates one
of the hack lines to and from the p.
W. & b. depot, met with quite a loss
on Saturday night last, by having one
of his hack horses to die and another
one almost at the point of death, from
what is believed to be a sure case of
poisoning.
MIR. Doughten fed his horses about
six O'Clock and two hours later, upon
going to the stable to hitch up for the
eight o'clock train, he noticed one of
them down in the stall badly swollen.
1t was not long after that before he
noticed the other one was affected the
same way. DIR. w. 7. Ryan was sent
for and they began to work on the
horse, the most affected. It was i'm
possible to save it by the use of drugs
and it died. Attention was then
turned to the other horse and they
succeeded in keeping it alive, although
Mr.. Doughten even now fears that it
will not be worth much.
The suppOsition is that they were
poisoned by some one with evil design
although some advance the argument
that they might have been fed on un-
cured hay. However, if the former
should be the case, Mr.. Doughten has
no clue to the miscreant party. In the
meantime, some of his friends have
been taking up a subscription to par :
tiallv replace his loss.

AGITATING A NEW STEAMBOAT LINE.
Meeting at the Office of Boyer & Co., Last
Thursday for this Purpose-Com-
tees Appointed.


The sale and transfer of the Brady
steamboat property to the Old Line
does not seem to have ended the steam
boat fight. A few of the opponents
met at the office of Boyer & Co. last
Thursday for the purpose of taking
steps toward establishing another line
to be known as "rhe Farmers Steam
boat Company" 1t is proposed to
make it a stock company, and as
farmers are backing the move
ment they claim they can force the
mer chants to patronize them, or else
they (the merchants) will necessarily
lose the trade of the farmers.
Temporary organization was effected
with Mr.. John A. Latta, president.
and Mr.. James Robinson, secretary.
The meeting was taken up mostly in
discussing plans of operation, secur-
ing stock, and the getting of a boat
suitable to the line. They then ad-
jOurned to meet Saturday afternoon at
the same place. 1t is rumored that
they are about to charter the steamer
''Endeavor," owned by the Denney
Brothers to go on the line as soon as it
gets through with the strawberry ship
ments between Pennsgrove and Phila-
delphia.

When strawberries as large as wal
nuts sell for five cents quart, it looks
as if the most delightful of all berries
was in the reach of every one. This
was the price. until Saturday, when
they dropped to cents quart, and
have paid better at that price at home,
than shipping, but the hot, dry wealth
will speedily end this crop.
