CROP BULLETIN

The Maryland and Delaware Crop Blu lle
tin issued for week ending Aug. 28th says
the western counties of Maryland suffered
with drouth up sto heavy thundershowers
of Aug. 10th and Doth SO that farmers could
not plow. Grass has improved much in
all sections where there has been rain.
Young clover is looking well; the crimson
and red varieties having made an excellent
set. Corn on the whole is very promising,
though there is complaint in Frederick
County and westward of its being cut short
BY drought; in every other section il is in
fine condition and maturing with promise
of good yields in both grain and fodder;
the ears are large and well filed. The crop
is certainly above the average. Consider
able fodder has been cured already in the
southern and eastern counties.
Tomatoes are turning out well as q rule;
they are ripening rather rapidly, but nicely,
and yielding large; picking is in rapid pro-
gress. The late varieties are growing well
although there is some report Of vines dy-
ing. Celery is coming up nicely. Cabbage
is promising, except in the western counties
where 1t has been too dry. Late potatoes
are being dug; the crop is still variously
reported but for the most part there is a.
bout an average yield. and much better
than last year. Melons continue in large
shipments from north central and western
counties. but the season is well spent for
them in the southern. and shore counties
Peanuts are growing nicely. Sweet pota-
toes are reported promising In southern,
but rather poor in eastern counties. Tur-
nips viii be plentiful.
Apples continue dropping to q laroa er.
tent in nearly all sections, but the reports
show that there are still plenty on the trees
and that there will be an abundant and ex-
ceilent crop Of this important fruit Grapes
are ripening and win be plentiful, and the
same can be said Of pears. There is 4 good
crop Of Barilstss now going 10 market.

KENT COUNTY.

Considerable excitement was caused al
Woodland Beach Sunday, Aug. "a, when ii
became known that the body of woman
had been found in the bay about mile
south Of that place. The woman proved to
be Mrs. Julia Walker, of Philadelphia, or at
least that is the name she registered under
at the hotel at Woodland Friday afternoon,
stating she did not care to return to the city
on the Clyde. She refused to eat any supper
and seemed to be in respondent mood.
She again refused to eat anything Saturday
morning, until persuaded to do 30 by the
proprietor's wife. About three o'clock on
Saturday she purchased sandwich at the
lunch bar and started for the Clyde. That
was the last seen of the woman alive, and
when her body was found it was supposed
she had been drowned, but the post mortem
held by DIR. T. @. Moore, of Smyrna, proved
that her death was due 10 spoplexy. Mrs.
Walker was five feet four inches in heighth,
weighing $50 pounds. She was about forty
years age, complexion sandy, with light
gray eyes, and red hair, turning gray.
DR.. William Pomroy. prominent and
wealthy physician Of Washington, d. G.,
who has been spending two weeks with
friends near Ches void, was found dead in
bed Monday morning. He enjoyed luc-
rative practice and was said to be one of
the most successful physicians of that city.
He has been great sufferer from insomnia
for years for which he took chloral. A
coroner's jury rendered verdict that his
death was caused by an over dose of chloral
hydrate taken for insomnia. DR.. Pomroy
wrote the prescription himself and sent it
to Smyrna druggist. The clerk thought
it too strong as among the ingredients three
ounces of chloral was asked for, and a foot
note requested that the prescription be
doubled, making the whole sixteen ounces.
The request was not granted and only two
ounces of choral was put into the medicine.
The doctor took one dose before retiring,
but sometime during the night drank over
two ounces of the drug or about 112 grains,
some sixteen doses, while he should only
have taken one dose Of fifteen grains. He
leaves a wife and three children. DR.. Pom
roy was large man Of striking appearance
about sixty-three years of age and is said to
be quite wealthy. suaI
