considerable trouble CT late over the
fruit growers not reaching the wharves

utes before 6. Often there are at least
eight TO ten teams in line waiting. The
companies have been lenient with the
loiterers until last week, when the
Brady left on time. several wagons be-
ing at the wharf that were yet unload
ed
Those who have been left are angry
but the companies here say that they
cannot afford TO be late simply for the
accommodation of few. The loss OF
an hour at the wharf here means be-
ing several hours late in Philadelphia,
sometimes on account of the big sand
bar at the mouth Of Smyrna river.

Smyrna, Aug. 20.-The canning Of
tomatoes in this section has COM

TIDEWATBR PLANT
RunOr That MOrSe'S CON-
paDy Will Absorb It
is Without Bonds or Other In
debtedReSS and Has Many I'M
prOVementS

Another rumor has been started and
there appears to be some foundation
for It, that the New York Shipbuilding
Company, Of which Henry G. Morse is
the head, is about to purchase the Tide
water Steel Works. This report has
been on the street and was published
some months ago, but at the time the
officers Of the Tidewater Steel Com
pany denied it in the most positive
terms. At the time Of the former
rumor there was not the fine steel plant
that there is at present The old open
hearth furnaces were then in use and
the plant had not been improved and
made up to date as at present
The Tidewater Steel Company is
without bonds or other indebtedness.
There have been many Improvements
made and there is a possibility OF the
plant passing into the hands of the
New York Shipbuilding Company.
The rumor started in Philadelphia
and this is what the Philadelphia Press
has to say OF the matter;
Ever since the New York Shipbuild-
IN Company located Its plant at Cam
den there has been talk of this COM

mills, and from time to time various
sites along the Delaware river, between
here and Marcus Hook, have been re-
ported to have been secured. 1t is
now reported that prior to leaving this
city II. G. Frick instructed a real es-
tate dealer to purchase a site on the
Delaware river between here and VIII
mington. which is to be for the New
Yok Shipbuilding Company
This statement has given rise to a
belief that he New York Shipbuilding
Company is after the Tidewater Steel
Company's plant. This plant has all the
facilities for doing such work as would
be required by a shipbuilding concern
The object OF the New York Shipbuild-
ing Company is to make its own plates
and to build a plant Of this character
It Is said would take a couple of years
The Tidewater Steel Company's plant
is at Chester 1t has a river front OF
thirty acres, besides blast furnaces
open-hearth furnaces, two plate mills
and all modern machinery for the
quick handling Of the material. 1t alsC
has direct connection with both The
! Pennsylvania and Philadelphia anC
Reading Railway Company's track
and It owns and operates its owl
tracks from the works to the railroads
while the officers of the Tidewate
Company will not talk about the mat
ter It was stated that negotiations arr
now in progress for the sale of prop
erty, which, il successful, will net th,
stockholders at least $25 a share fol
their holdings. The officers of tn,
company are not desirous OF parting
with the plant, as they believe a bis
business will be done this Fall an,
next year"
Mr.. Frick is one Of the best iron ant
steel men in this country, he havinI
been connected with theCarnegie plan
for many years and were he to get holi
OF the Chester plant he would make i
one OF the busiest steel plants in tn,
country.
! There was no one at the Office of tn
company with authority to deny o
confirm the report and when the news
paper representative called on the Tide
water people thy did not deny tha
negotiations wer being considered.
