Peaches will be Plentiful.

Reports now come from Bridge
Vile that peaches will be plentiful
there. There is also every reason
to believe that the crop will be Il
good one in the vicinities Of Milford
and Cedar Neck. Your correspond
ent has been in communication with
growers in those sections, and they
assert that the trees have shed their
blossoms and are pretty well filled
with peaches. No definite estimate
of the yield can be given, however.
until the June drop is over.
Growers OF Milford who have made
statements for the press assert that
the prospects are good for crop in
that section.
Fruit growers throughout the
State are beginning to advertise for
berry p:ckers to handle the enor-
nous crop which will be ready for
plucking for market next week.
The strawberry crop is said to show
the greatest abundance, notwith-
standing the predictions that the
fruit had been destroyed by the
February blizzard. There is the
greatest abundance of all the small
fruits. except peaches and Japan
plums. The yield of domestic
plums, cherries, pears, and all kind
Of berries is so encouraglngly large
that the growers have ceased to
worry about their orchards and
vineyards, and are turning their at
tention to the facilities that will b.
extended to them by the railroad
and express companies in getting
their fruit to a market.

THE WILCOX
DAMAGE SUIT
the Story of the Accident
Related on the Wit
ness Stand.

The damage suit of Wilcox vs. the Will
mington City Railroad Company Is pro-
crossing rapidly. Louis Weidenman was
the first witness examined yesterday after
neon.
He testified that he was standing at
Twenty-third and Market streets when he
saw Mrs. Wilcox come out OF her house.
She looked uD the street and walking down
some distance started to cross over, The
car, which was coming down the street ran-
idly, struck her. The car was coming
down the street so fast that he did not
know whether it had wheels or wings. The
witness could not say how many miles it
was running an hour. The motorman was
looking toward tho river. He did not turn
his heRd in the direction of the tack un-
til he struck the woman.
The bell was not sounded When first
struck she was knocked ten feet. The
Car struck her again and pushed Lor down
the track fifteen feet. The witness was
cross-examined by Mr.. Salisbury and de-
MED saying to n conductor and motorman.
on the Riverview line that Mrs Wilcox
was as much to blame for the accident rs
the nOtorman. The case will probably
consume the balance of the week.
Chiof Justice Lore announced that the
court was going to change the time for tho
meeting aud adjourniDg. Hereafter court
will convene at 10 O'Clock in tho morning
and at noon will ad journ for half an hour.
In the afternoon 1t will adjourn at clock
instead of remaining In session until or
o'clock ns formerly This sysrem is in
force in other states and gives general sat
isfaction. 1t Is believed 1t will meet with
approval here.
