THIS BURGLARY
KEPT SECRET
No Clue to the Persons Who
Entered the Hall Store
in Smyrna
Special to the Evening G.urnal.

Smyrna, June 16.-There is consider
able speculation in Smyrna as to who
committed the robbery at w. r. Hall
& Sons large store sometime on Sat
urday last. AS yet there are few per-
sons in Smyrna who know anything
about the affair, as the burglary has
been kept very quiet but notwith-
standing this, the slightest clue to the
perpetrators has not been obtained.
Sometime Saturday between 9 a. m.
and midnight. an unknown pers"' -"-
tered the safe at the store and took $50
In cash and a check for $40. The check
was presented to II. p. Hall before the
banks opened on Saturday morning by
young woman teaching in the
country school a short distance from
he.e, asking that It be cashed, the favor
being granted by the firm.
The check was placed in a bag con-
taining the $50 and put away in the
safe, which is beneath the desk at the
end of the left-hand counter OF the
grocery department. Saturday night
shortly after IL o'clock. when closing
up the business for the day, the loss
was discovered
The firm kept the matter quiet, as
there is considerable mystery sur.
rounding the theft There is a real
window near the safe but as the store
was well-hlled with customers all day
II would have been impossible for tn,
thief TO enter that way. IL was tn,
boldest piece of thievery that has evel
occurred in Smyrna, and It is the sup
position that the thief will never b'
detected.

DISORDERLY NEGROES ARRESTED
Little Girl Bitten on the Haud by a
Doc

Cheswold. June 15.-Three young
colored men. Marion Carter, Harvey
Driggis and william Brown, who had
been drinking. set out to have fun in
their own way, which disturbed the
quiet of the town as well as violating
the ordinances. Bailiff W. J. Smith
proceeded to arrest them. when they
ran, but two of them were caught and
carried before Magistrate Cooper for
a hearing. They were fined $3.50 and
costs, which was paid by friends and
they were released.
Little Doris. a two-year-old daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Thompson, near
Cheswold, attempted to pet their dog
while he was gnawing a bone. The
dog did not take it good naturedly, but
snapped and bit her on the hand. The
bite was not considered serious.

here they usually enjoy luncheon of
melons, fruit, milk and other eatables,
which are easily obtained After the
luncheon is over there is usually
dance, which is indulged in until the
wee small hours of the morning, after
which the return trip is made to the
hotel or cottage, oftens with less noise
than when they started out.
Improvements are noticeable in every
part of the town where the stranger
may happen to go. At the Stockton
Hotel, a great renovation has been
going on for several weeks. This hotel
which is the largest in this place, and
which in times past has been the Sum-
mer home OF James G. Blaine, Chester
A. Arthur, President Grant, Vice-Pres-
ident Hendricks, Secretary of State
Freilinghuysen, Jim Fisk, the noted
New York sportsman who was killed
years ago in the duel with Stokes,-
will this year be the resort Of the peo-
pie who are prominently known
throughout the country. It's proprietor
is Col. Horace M. Cake, Of the Hotel
La-Normandie, Washington, and son
of the late Col. ]. Frank Cake, who for
a number of years was proprietor of
the famous Willard s, Washington, and
who had at times every president as
his guest, from Buchanan to Cleveland.
The bathing has already begun, and
hundreds are enjoying this pleasure
which is only had at seaside resorts.
At Cane May there is a satisfaction in
the ocean bathing, from the fact that
life-lines and life-boats are not needed
to protect the bather from an uneven
beach and from the strong undercur-
rents, which are prevalent at other re-
sorts. The strand is as smooth as a
billiard table top, with a gradual slope
toward the ocean which is almost i'm
perceptible to the eye, and which is
made up of a hard white sand, which is
nevertheless, elastic to the tread. The
gradual slope of the strand into the
water, gives the bather no uneasiness
or fear of getting into deep holes, OF
stumbling and losing his balance and
thereby injuring himself, with fears OF
drowning. Indeed drowning cases al
this resort are very rare instances.
The fishing continues good. Great
numbers Of king fish and weak fish are
being caught in the inland waters
While this excellent sport is enjoyed
on the inland waters, the deep water
| fishing off shore, where steamers take
parties daily a distance of from ten t
twenty-five miles, there is also excel
lent fishing. Here sea-bass, swapping
mackerel or blue fish properly called
are caught 1t is no unusual occur
renee for a fisherman to return home
after a days outing off in the Atlantic
with from 800 to 500 black bass weigh
ing all the way from one to fiyep pounds
The inland fisherman here do not us'
a rod and line, but fish with a lint
alone, giving it forcible twirl wheI
they throw their hook. bait and dipse.

Smyrna. June 16.-Farmers in this
vicinity are actively engaged in prepar-

commence about the 2Oth The recent
rains have been needed in this section
but have done little good to the wheat
crop The yield is expected to be a
large one however. with a good
amount OF straw.
While the prospect for cereals is very
good. rose and potato bugs are causing
the farmers considerable annoyance,
Especially Is this true with those who
have vineyards. The rose bugs have a
liking for the wild varieties, and in
some vineyards half OF the blossoms
have been eaten. The cherry crop is
also very poor here.
