The gang Of workers moves in a bunch,
clipping off the translucent clusters Of
muscates, arranging them upon the
trays to shrink and shrivel under the
rays of the sun into the concentrated
deicacy we know Behind them the lines
Of trays lie, a basking array Of SHIN
mering fruit, and some one interested Is
showing the clusters together, that the
tray shall be honestly filled, for the
workers are paid by the tray.
After two weeks exposure to the dry
heat the filled trays are ready to be
turned so that the grapes may be cured
evenly. This is accomplished by two
men, one on either side, placing an empty
tray, over the full one, dcxtcrously re-
versing it, then, carrying the upper one
with them, repeating the process on
down the row. 1t is at this stage in the
curing that the grape is most delecta.

The Authorities at Salem
N. j., Have a Mys-
terry to Solve.

Salem, N. J., August 27.-Chief
OF Police Wadding ton and Detec-
tive Carney have been very busy
to-day looking into the mysteries
of a case which looks like MUIR
der. About 1 o'clock this morn
ing as John Wood, ofMannington,
was crossing the covered bridge
over the creek between this city
and Clay syiile he saw large col
ored man approach asmall colored
woman and strike her in the face
with some instrument. The man
then grabbed his victim and started
to drag her up the creek tank to-
ward the bridge Of the West Jer-
sey & Seashore Railroad Company.
The woman was groaring as she
being taken away.
As to what was done with the
body if the woman was killed is
not yet known to the authorities,
but it is supposed that the negro
took it to the railroad bridge and
then dropped it into the water.
Wood, who is man OF very
small stature, mounted his wheel,
rode 10 the centre Of the town and
notified Chief Waddington, who
hurried to the scene OF the tragedy,
but owing to the darkness was UNI
able to find any further clue.
Detective Carney and Chief Wad
dington found blood stains On the
boards OF the bridge and also
quantity Of hair and other marks
that went to corroborate tine story
told by Wood AS yet the offic-
ials have been unable to find any
woman that has been hurt or that
is missing.

THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
Chief George W. Sasse Re-
turns From Syracuse
New York.

George w. Sasse Chief OF the Whining
ton Fire Depar' meDt, returned home on
Saturday night from Syracuse N. Y,
whore no has been attending the annual
convention Of the International A ssocla-
ton Of Fire Engineers.
rhis association IL composed Of the high
est representatives of tho leading fire de-
partments Of 80 States ana Canada and
England. Chief Sasse is the only reprs.
sentative of Delaware he having been
member since 1895. and he was elected one
OF the vice-presidents Of the body.
Chief Sasse deserves credit for his ef-
forts in keeping Wilmington In The front
among the fra fighters. He pays his own
expenses In attending the meetings and
learns the up to date methods Of extingu-
ishing fires
In speaking OF the Convention. Chief
Sasse says:
"rhe exhibits of the fire fighting
apparatus at the convention were more
extensive than ever before. Two inter-
esting exhibits were the new extra size
American fire engine, built for the city of
Philadelphia, and new first -class La
France engine for the city of Syracuse.
The American engines boiler was 3SX6S
inches and it had capacity of 100 gal
Ions of water minute. The La Frances
boiler was 36x66 inches and it had ca
pacity of 800 gallons II minute. The en-
gincs were 10th tested on "Wednesday,
working through Il water tower, and
both proved eminently satisfactory. Both
were tested to blow off at 1870 pounds
steam pressure. Though most of them
present had seen water towers, many of
them, including myself had never seen
them working, and the test was there
fore very interesting to us. There was
also on exhibition bicycle chemical en-
rine to be ridden by two men. 1t was as
complete apparently, as the large chem
ical engines. 1t had n capacity of So gal
Ions. There We're also shown patent nom
chokabc collars, patent devices for the
quick raising of ladders and chemical
izers. The latter are iron receptacles
which chemicalize the water passing
through them. The Gamewell Fire
Alarm Telegraph Company had several
exhibits. one of the most interesting of
which was an Improvement which in
sllrcs the interference OF boxes An
other was an Improvement i'll keyless
boxes whereby an alarm is sent in by
simply turning the handle. Roller bear
ing aXlrs and rubber tires for engines,
such rs are now in use in New York were
also shown. A fire PROBING preparation
was also exhibited that rendered clothes,
lace curtains and similar fabrics nvul-
nerabc against fire Tests were made of
different chemical preparations for OK
tinguiShing fire. all of which possess
more or less merit. An improvement in
catches for extension ladders was also
