June Weather.

June has been characterized thus far
by great extremes of weather. The
first week following a ten days cold
spell the latter part of May the wealth
er was unseasonably warm for week,
up to 90 and SO degrees on the 9th, 7th
and Sth, cooking gooseberries and
strawberries on the vines. This was
followed by several days of cool,
damp weather, but not much rain, the n
again high temperature, the middle of
last week, with heavy drop again for
several days, needing wooden clothing
and blankets. With it, there was not
quarter of the rain needed here,
while in the far West, they had
rainfalls, that did great damage.

ALARMS OF FIRE LAST WEEK.
ONE ON FRIDAY AND ANOTHER SATUR.
DAY, CAUSING MUCH EXCITEMENT.
No Material Damage DOne.-SmalI BIaSes
Which We're Soon Gotten Under
Control

We had two fire alarms last week,
but fortunately no material damage
resulted. The first was Friday after
nOOn-the roof of Geo. w. Tilghmans
shops, on Commerce street. A strong
north wind had carried spark from
the blacksmith shop, and landed it in
the combing of the roof of the Thigh
man building. When it was dis
covered it was blazing freely in
the dry shingling, but was extin-
guished by few buckets of water be-
fore the Hose Company got there,
though they were soon on the spot. 1t
was quite courageous feat in the sew
eral persons who thus got to the roof
and extinguised the fire in its in
cipiency.
Some of the knowing ones who fully
believe in "threes, ''in reference to fires,
railroad accidents &c, said there
would be another fire soon, hardly ex-
pecting however, it would occur in less
than twenty-four hours, but it did
a quarter before one o'clock the next
day, Saturday. And it was little sin
ular that Mr.. Tilghman SHOULD he per-
sonally concerned again, the fire in the
last case being at the stable in his ten
ure, belonging to W. A. Winford, and
adjoining the machine shop of Geo. w.
Taylor, on Benson street.
The fire had its origin, not in, but
just outside the building, in pile of
manure, the flames igniting to and ex-
tend well up the weather boarding
when discovered, but fortunately had
not gotten inside to the hay. Water
from buckets was applied vigorously
to the climbing fire, but it remained
for the Hose Company to extinguish
the fire in the burning pile of manure.
just how the fire originated is ques-
tion, but seemed-to be set down mostly
at the time, as case of Spontaneous
combustion. This belief was strength
ened from the fact that those who
worked in it with forks, found the
most stubborn fire near the bottom of
the pile. There were others who knew
this to be place where boys meet and
play, who think it resulted from the
careless use of a match, thrown away
after lighting a cigarette or pipe.
Mr.. Tilghman wishes to thank the
Hose Company, through this medium,
for their prompt answer to the call.

Communicated.

James Millburn, one of Smvrns's
most respected and best-known col
ored citizens, died at , p. m. on Tues
day last, at the hospital where upon
the advice of his physician he was sent
just two weeks before his death. He
lived in Smyrna most of his life,
having been employed by the late
ID. j. Cummins, Esq, for a period of
"A years. He was honest and upright
in all his dealings with his fellow
men, and had their entire respect and
confidence. He was quite an active
member of long standing in several of
the lodges, was trustee of Centennial
Church, and was ever willing to con-
tribute of his means to its support.
His wife, the daughter of Samuel
Potts, and one son, survive him. By
his industry and thrift he had acquired
a comfortable home and several lots of
ground in Smyrna. The funeral SER
vices will be held on Friday at one
o'clock, at his late home.

the party to earn such endorsement.
His support of the party was largely
perfunctory and never otherwise than
pyrOtechnic.
The President did not want to turn
Mr.. Hoffecker down He has a warm
regard for Mr.. Hoffecker; and if Mr..
Hotfecker could have named a man for
District Attorney absolutely free and
clear from the imputation that it was
an Addick's selection, the President
would unquestionably have appointed
that man. Mr. Byrne owes his ap-
pOintment solely to the fact that Mr..
HOffecker did not present a proper al
tentative. Not that Mr.. Ward was
not proper alternative. There is no
ADLER man at the Wilmington bar and
no man better fitted for the place of
District Attorney; but Mr.. Ward is
Mr.. Addicks' counsel. As such he has
won some of his most notable legal
victories.

Notice Town Elections.

We desire to remind the women of
our State that on Saturday, June 24th,
at two in the afternoon in the school
house of each district in Kent and Sus-
sex counties, the meeting of the school
voters will be held to elect school com
missions for the coming year.
We wish also to call their attention
to the following provision in our new
school law Every female person above
the age of twenty-One years, residing
in the district (either an Incorporated
or a a rulal districD and having paid
school tax in the district where she re-
sides, for the preceding year, shall be
entitled and qualified to vote at all
school elections. Provided however,
that no white person shall have right
to vote at any meeting of colored
school voters in any district, and no
cOlored person shall have right to
vote at any meeting of white school
voters in any district.
Any woman who has paid tax on a
horse or COW or on any personal prop
erty whatsoever, silverware, etc., or on
real estate is thus entitled and it is
therefore her bounden duty to express
at the school election her wish for
good, honest, intelligent school COM
missioners.
1t is duty we owe to our children,
it is duty we owe to our State, to use
the power given us to uplift the schools
of our State. If then you have paid
a school tax this past year go to your
school house on Saturday afternoon at
two O'Clock and vote. If you have not,
see that your own horse or your own
silver spoons are assessed and taxed in
your own name the coming year that
you may avail yourself of this privi-
lege.

The Choice of District Attorney.

Republicans Glasses" F. E. Bach
in the Sunday Star thus speakes of
the appointment of W. Michael Byrne
to the District Attorneyship:
cit was by no means case where
one faction of the party was solid for
Byrne and the other faction solid
against Byrne. Indeed, the success
full aspirant's backing was hardly sub
stantial enough in any respect to be
called solid. His party backing out
side of his tutor and late partner,
Judge Bradford, was purely artificial.
1t was worked up" in ways familiar
to machine politicians. 1t was made
up of postmasters and woul-be post
masters, backed by that perfunctory
backing which the members of the bar
usually give to fellow member W no
wants "honors and emoluments. {"
That was all. The Regular Repub-
lican party of Delaware did not endorse
Mr.. Byrne. He had done nothing for

DANGER TO FRUIT TREES.
Prevalence of Fire-BIight in this Vicinity,
and the Remedy Given.

Mr.. Editor: An unusually virulent
and general outbreak of tire-blight
renders exceptional care and precau-
ton necessary just now upon the part
of fruit growers in this vicinity. The
disease usually attacks pear and ounce
trees, but this season extends to
apples. In all cases its action is rapid
and the end death, if it is left un-
checked. Its attacks are made first
upon the tips of shoots, upon the
leaves, and upon young fruit. These
it turns first brown and dead looking
and then black, and passing from
them into the smaller stems which
support them, makes its way thence
beneath the surface into the main
limbs and body of the tree and de-
stroys it quickly. This deadly disease
is exceedingly contagious and does it's
work so rapidly that no time is to be
plost III combating it when discovered.
The only effective remedy known is
le cut OH all affected parts from six
inches to foot or more below the
point where the disease appears, as it
is always ahead of its signs and has
progressed beyond the spot where it
shows itself. Then burn at once all
the diseased trimmings. Don't hope
that tree will recover of itself-they
never do, and when very badly dis
eased had better he taken up and
burned to prevent injecting healthy
trees. Look out for the signs, viz. /:
brown or black twigs, leaves or fruit.
In New York growers have thorough
search made about once week during
May and all summer, for this pest, as

School Election.

Next Saturday is the day fixed by
law for the annual school election. 1t
is hardly necessary to press this fact
on the attention of parents, because to
the most of them the school bears a
more important relation to their fam
lilies than simple party attachment.
An important fact that the voter
should bear in mind is that the school
dividend will not he larger than last
year, and hence the importance to the
commissioners of providing for their
needs by local taxation. By notice in
another column it will be seen that the
State Federation of Women's Clubs
are going to take part in this election.

falsity of various rumors emenatino
from this town and published in various
papers of the State.
The sale of the Brady Steamboat Co.
was purely a business matter. The
parties interested saw they were con-
stantly losing money, were making no
headway and it was only matter of
time before they would sink more
money than could ever be realized out
OF the business. 1t was simply the
question of the best way to get out and
stop their losses. There was but one
purchaser and probably the Brady
Steamboat Co. realized as much as thew
could under the circumstances.
This statement is made with view
to correct the false impressions given
out and it is to be hoped that now the
struggle is over the people are enjoy-
ing good and careful service with a
good steamer, that the public will drop
all past differences and give a united
support, being assured of all receiving
the same treatment and consideration.
The steamer Geo. F. Brady" will be
retained and the name changed to
Smyrna, this making not only the
line but the boat local feature. The
steamboat business is expensive, and

Baseball Games.

Last Wednesday an interesting game
of ball was played at Clayton between
the Clayton boys and the T. j. L. club
of Smyrna. Both mines played well,
and it was an interesting game, the
score standing 8 to 6 in favor of Clay
ton.
On Saturday, the visit was returned
and the Smyrna boys paid them back
with interest, by beating them with a
score of nine to five. In this game the
Smyrna boys knocked two home runs

In accordance with a recent ruling
OF the Treasury Department, two

a receipt given by depositor to

draw out money from his account for
his own use, and banks in some locali-
ties are providing a receipt to be filled
out by the depositor. If this receipt is

play. The chief feature of such an oc-
casiOn is the refreshments, which were
served at tables in the yard and under
the trees, by the fair members of the
association, who readily filed every
demand upon them. The children
seemed to have possession of the
grounds the early part of the evening,
and were merry around the Maypole.
with its streamers of various colors.
Another feature was the music by Wat
kin's Orchestra-two cornets, violin,
and piano-which made music through
out the evening. 1t was to the young
folks a pleasant time of social inter-
course. The net amount received was
$3.50. 1t can be said to the credit of
the Christian Endeavor Society that it
lends a helping hand to everything,
and the contemplated improvements
on the Methodist church will be no
exception.
