In spite of rumors to the contrary,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will proceed with the contemplated i'm
provements in Wilmington, and will
not use the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road tracks for fast trains. The i'm
provements will be commenced soon
as the details are complete. 1t may be
late In the present season before work
is commenced on the improvements,
but they will be made. According to
the present programme they will cost
at least So, 900, 900, which is $1,000, 900
more than was first contemplated.
The new shops, with their improved
machinery and equipment, are expec-
ted to save more than the interest on
the money invested in them, and the
other new buildings will also allow
railroad work to be handled more ex-
peditiously. The changesin the tracks
at Chester, Claymont, Wilmington and
other places are expected to allow in
creased speed

from that of the preceding one Indlvid-

and widespread the movement continues
far and away ahead Of that usual at this

is attributed to the shortened supply and

that the trade, as a rule. have been run

To the Editor of The Post.
Newton, Texas, August I'll send you by
today's express one dozen peaches grown
by me in my small family orchard at New
ton, Texas. They are not as large as many
OF this crop have been, as the crop IS well
nigh exhausted and the best part has
been used, They get ripe about July -
20 %. and should have sent them earlier,
as ! not only would have secured better
sample, hut could have sent them before
they were oyer-ripe, which fear is the
case with these, and | fear that they will
get considerably damaged In transit, These
peaches have been loudly praised by all
who have sampled them for their delicate
and savory flavor.
They are of variety called General
Lee and the trees We're bought from
McssrS. b, w Stone & Co Of 'rhomasyille,
Ca, seven years ago, and all the trees
are stil Ia perfect condition. Some sam
pies have weighed three.quarteIs of a
pound each. | have had also some fine sam
pies of the noted ''Elberta." Very re
specially. John NJ. Horger
