Special Correspondence to the TIMES.
CHEswoLD, Aug. 26.-Monday was
the biggest peach day we have had yet
this season. Two cars were loaded for
Jersey City and about one and one
half cars for other markets. The
prices ranged from 20 cents per basket
for white fruit to 55 cents for yellow
fruit. Choice "Albertas" are bringing
the higher prices. Ex-Sheriff McDan-
iel has commenced to ship this variety
as has also other smaller growers. G.
F. Harper, near Leipsic, is expecting
1000 as do also in a smaller quantity
Claud Pearson and James Tignor.
There is some complaint of cracking of
the skin by the hot weather in this va
riety. Twenty-one baskets of Sheriff
McDaniel's choice fruit went to the
Pan American Exposition on Monday.
Tomatoes are very scarce and com
mand the past few days prices only a
little below peaches. Joseph Hints
has two acre plot on the limits of

expects, as he expresses it, 'big

George W. Coulbourn, of Seaford,
conductor on the Delaware Railroad,
met horrible death here Thursday
morning. Trains were running heavy
and late, and the freight lines were
simply choked up with work. The
trains had to run under close orders,
and while Conductor Coulbourn was
taking the number of his train he never
noticed shifter bearing down the
track which he was preparing to cross.
Coulbourn stepped ON the rails just
in time for the engine to dash into him,
knocking him headlong up the track,
where two cars passed over him before
o stop could be made. Mr.. Coulbourne

Nearly h.arried Wrong Girl.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. l7-Only the
self.assertion of Miss Mary Bowers,
the bridc.elect, saved William Mi
chacls from marrying tho bridesmaid
at the Canton Congregational Church
last night.
| Through misunderstanding OF
marriage ceremony conventionaIjties
Michaels escorted the bridesmaid up
to the altar, and his bcs t IN an march.
cd up with the bride.
The party assumed wrong positions
the bridesmaid getting between the
bride and the groem. and when Rev.
Thomas Beadenknotf began the cere-
mony, he. Of course, addressed the
bridesmaid instead of the l,:ide. The
bridesmaid was so perpleyed that she
;a!lowed the groom to take her hand.
The bride astonished the clergy
by stopping the ceremony. She quick
ly changed positions with her brides,
maid, took tie hand of the bashful
groom, and the mixed.up ceremony
was happily concluded.

Who had laughing eyes of brown;
But when proposed she murmured:
go away back and sit down.
When l asked Il friend for money
He bestowed on me frOWu,
And these mystic words he uttered:
$50 away back and sit down.
On the street ! met a farmer,
Said !: Come and see the town.
He replied: mo god bricks, thank
you:
$50 away back and sit down.

To the bIoomared circus clown,

"Go away back and sit down"
When | reach the golden portals,
And demand my harp and crown,
Will st. Peter also whisper:
''Go away back and sit down"

agent Of the United States at Sofia. re-
: plying to his proposals concerning Il
ransom. says the hrigands will hold
ont for figure very much above the
sum at Mr.. Dirkinson's command,
The brgands interpret Mr.. Drkin-
sons not having fixed on the sum he is
willing to pay ana on ii time limit as
being indications that he can get more
money. They also demand immunity
from prosecution. but it is impossible
for the diplomatic agent Of the United
States here to have power t. bind the

This point, however. is not likely to
he Il serious obstacle in the way Of
