Electric Light and Telephone Wires
Mixed TO Towns Confusion

Middletown. June 16.-When the
Diamond State Telephone Company
asked permission of the town board to
erect poles through this town, an
agreement was affected between the
two whereby the town electric light
wires would be carried on the new
poles. so as not to make too many OF
them along the streets. Workmen are
now engaged in changing the wires
from the old to the new poles, and yes
terday in some way got the wires
crossed somewhere. AS result Il was
not discovered until the lights were
turned on and they would not burn.
The whole town was in darkness and
business was at standstill. Some
merchants secured lamps while others
closed up their places OF business. AT
the commencement exercises in the
Opera House the School Board waited
until a few minutes before starting
time before they secured lamps, think
ling the accident would be fixed in time
but at last had to send for lamps, which
only furnished about one-third the
amount of light required.

about two-thirds Of the size they viii
attain when ripe, growers fear that

fruit drops OFF, growers believe that In
order. to save their orchards about
one-half of the fruit will have to be
pulled within a short time.
The June drop this year was the
lightest ever known. and growers at
tribute the fact to the healthy condi-
tion OF orchards. There will be little or
no premature fruit this season as a re-

Of such will do much TO bring about

SCHOOL OF PORPOISES
RUNS UP THE DELAWARE

Chester. Pa, June 1S.--A large school
Of porpoises driven into the Delaware
Bay by the ehsterly storm, appeared off
this city yesterday to the amazement Of
the longshoremen. The big creatures
came leaping and diving, their black
sides glistening as they rose and sank,
and several boating parties narrowly
escaped capsizing. as the pOrpoises
crowded into the narrow space be-
tween Tinicum Island and the Penn
sylvania shore, and sent waves tumbling
ever the frightened occupants.
The rowers pulled excitedly for the
shore. one playful porpoise lazily nts-
ing a skin. the next moment diving airl
resppearing on the opposite side. The
wharves were black with people when
the news of the unusual spectacle
spread through the city. One venture
sc,ne sportsman hastily sec .,e1 a gun
and pulled after the school, tCcii a lnt
shot, but If his aim was true, the only
effect it had was to cause the school to
disappear for a moment.
Riyermen say that seven years ago
school Of porpoises. came up the river,
following in the tail of a severe storm
and that an isolated porpolse was
sighted weeks afterward disporting in
the water on his way TO the Day. Sup.
erstitious people were badly frightened
to-day and prophesy some terrible
event as the result OF the appearance
Of the pOrpoises.
