KEIFFER PEAR PROSPECTS
ENCOURAGING TO GROWERS
CROP WILL BE BUT HALF, BUT GOOD
PRICES MAY BE REALIZED.
Estimated Crop COnservativeIy Placed Be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 Baskets-TwO
Crops Bought at 2Octs Per Basket.

John r. Wilson, of this town, has
purchased the Keiffer pear crops of
Charles G.. Ross and John w. Rawley,
at 20 cents basket. This is consid-
cred good price and the growers of
this vicinity are hoping that this is an
indication that good prices will prevail
throughout the season. Peaches are
on the wane and now the Keiffer pear
will follow, and be an important indus
try with our growers for several weeks.
The crop this year will be from third
to half short of last year, estimated
conservatively at 10000 or $4,000 bas-
kets. The fruit promises to be large
and wholesome and good prices should
prevail. George G. Rothwell, of Thor
oughfare Neck, will probably be one
of the largest growers of that vicinity.
Others who will make it an important
industry are: William J. Nowland,
W. L. Collins, George Reed Lofand,
Frank Gootee, Miss Agnes Cummins,
John G. Stockly, John Deakyne, James
Jones, B. HAZEL Ross, E. A. Evans,
Ephraim Lower, George t. Thompson,
E. W. Lapham, Levi Anthony, Walter
T. Massey, Reuben Ford, Joseph B
FAIRIES, Gilbert S. Wilds, Thomas E
Bailey, Daniel G. Bailey, w. D. Hud
son, Thomas Kirby, J. E. Carter ant
others. There are number of larg,
orchards in the vicinity of Cheswold
The crop last year was very larg
and the market was glutted. At tn
close of the season the bottom droppe,
out of the market, and the fruit onl!
averaged from 10 to Is cents per bas
ket This year the crop is muc
shorter, and the apple being almos
total failure, there is probability o
being a great demand for Keiffer pears
Possibly the largest shipper in thi
section is James L. Shalleross, of nea
Odessa, who will have, it is estimated
about 5000 or 5000 baskets.

DESPERATE NEGRO STABS
At HIS FORMER EMPLOYER
SEVERE ATTACK MADE UPON WIN. T.
DAVID BY GEORGE W. WILLIAMS.
While W. T. David Was Talking to Some
Friends in Front of Pierce's Meat Store the
Negro Plunged Penknfe ia His Side.

George W. Williams, a colored lad,
was arraigned before Magistrate Coo
per on Tuesday morning, charged with
stabbing William I. David, of the
Gootee farm, Raymond's Neck, with a
penknife while he was standing in
front of W. G. Pierce's meat store on
Saturday night He was found guilty
and fined $40 and costs, a minimum
penalty, and held in a bond of 800 for
his good behavior. In default he was
committed to Dover Jail yesterday
afternoon.
There seems to have been some bad
feeling existing between the negro and
W. T. David for some time. At any
rate David was standing talking with a
friend on the corner at Pierce's store
Saturday night, when Williams
came up, and without any provocation
whatever. stabbed him with the point
of sharp knife in the left side, about
the region of the heart. Had it been
little nearer it might have resulted
fatally. David was taken to DR.. Cliff
toms Office to receive medical atten-
tion, and Williams made his escape
A vigilant search was made for him the
same evening, with no avail. Monday
Constable Jones learned that the ne
gro was at the farm of George Insolo
north of Smyrna. He forthwith wen
to that place and successfully mad
the arrest, and incarcerated him in tn
Smyrna lock up. Horace David, brOthe
of the wounded man, made oath be
fore Magistrate Cooper in. due form Q
law Saturday evening, and when tn
trial came off Tuesday, the testimon
of the three witnesses was that Davi
, was seriously wounded without a res
r sonable provocation. The negro, how
ever, claimed that he stabbed David /
, self defense. Williams had been livin
I on the farm of David until abor
: month ago, when he left. Sine
: then he has threatened to cut or shoe
! David, a fact which was brought oil
! in the testimony. The result of Il
J. trial was as above stated.

PULPIT VIEW OF BUFFALO TRAGEDY.
Rev. Vaughan S. Collins, Takes Up the Sum
day Morning Service in Drawing Lessons
From Attack on President Mckinley.

The bright, cool, exhilarating
weather of Sunday had its effect on
our different churches in that the SER
vices throughout the day were we'll at
tended. At Asbury M. E. Church in
the morning the congregation was
large, and Rev. Vaughan S. Collins,
the pastor, preached strong sermon
bearing upon the awful tragedy in
Buffalo, the attempted assassination of
President Mckinley. The selection of
scriptures, hymns, prayer and sermon
were in accord with the subject and
his audience was strongly moved. The
discourse bristled with strong points
and patriotic emotions. Reasons were
found in our bad politics for this per-
sonal degeneracy, the speaker remem-
bering three attacks on the head of
the nation during his short life. Our
loose laws in relation to emigration
were strongly commented upon, espe-
cially that in relation to the use of the
ballot before they know anything abou
our institutions.
There was also a good congregation
at the Presbyterian Church. The
only reference to the Buffalo tragedy
was in the prayer of the Rev. Luthe
J. Emerson, who had charge and con
Quoted the services. Rev. Emerson
was late of Vermont, but is now resid
ing near Cheswold. He gave a stroni
discourse on "The Crisis of Life
Inasmuch as a crisis comes in ever
life, he advised the especial trainin
of the young the first sixteen years {
their lives in the moulding of charat
ter, from character faith and from fait
obedience. The sermon was high
enjoyed. Pastor J. L. Estlin is e
pected to fill his pulpit next Sunda

PEACH SHIPMENTS ON THE WANE.
Crop ia Smyrna and Vicinity Will Estimate
About $4,000 or 10000 Baskets.

The peach season, except few late
varieties, is about over, and in fgur-
ing up the crop our fruit growers have
reason to be satisfied. There has been
more the appearance Of twenty years
ago in shipments, than any time in
recent years. Most of the fruit has
been raised south o; Smyrna, between
Smyrna and Brenford. The larger
quantity went by rail, but the steamer
G. F. Brady has been busy also, and
altogether there will have been ship
ped from this vicinity some $4,000 or
1000 baskets. Among our principal
growers have been Daniel G. Bailey,
5000 baskets; George Reed Lohand,
$500; Thomas J. Middleton, $4,000 (;
William Armstrong, 1000; Charles
Carey, 2,75O; John Rawley, $500, and

CHECKS LOST IN THE U. S. MAILS.
Five Lost In one Month on Delaware Line
Complaint made at Dover POstOffiCe.

Complaint has been made at the
Dover postofice of important and val
liable mail matter going astray on the
Delaware division. Several weeks ago
Rev. H: G.. Budd, Methodist minister
at Berlin, Md, mailed a check for $3.50
to Rev. C. S. Baker, D. D., presiding
elder of the Dover district, in adjust
ment of the Conference Academy debt.
The check was never received by DIR.
Baker, and Mr.. Budd stopped payment.
Five weeks ago Rev. J. L. johnson,
pastor of Greenwood M. E. Church,
mailed check for $1S5 to DIR. Baker,
and this too went astray. A week ago
DIR. Baker mailed a letter at the Dover
railroad station for Lewes, which never
reached its destination. Three checks
msiled to Rev. B. f. Campbell, pastor
ofArmory Church, Dover, from Wilkes
barre and Pottsville, Pa, are also sald
to have been lost en- route.

BOMBAY HOOK ISLAND ROADS.
Delay in Awarding New Contracts May
Cause Levy Court Considerable Expense.

Cause Levy Court Considerable Expense.
The Democrats and good-thinking
Republicans approve the action of the
Levy Court in deferring work on the
Bombay Hook road. The fight for
stopping the waste of the county money
was led by Levy Courtman Mabrey,
Democrat, of Kenton hundred, while
Levy Courtman Baggs, Republican, Of
Duck Greek hundred, wanted to con-
tinue the work, regardless Of the ex-
pense. One of the Republican mem
bers was absent, and Mr.. Mabrey was
backed up by his four Democratic as
sociates, while the other three Repub-
licans sided with Mr.. Baggs. There
being no tie, the Republican clerk of
the peace had no vote. The Demo
cratic members of the Levy Court have
protested from the start against the
waste of the county funds, but until
last Tuesday were always outvoted,
and it would have been the same case
then, had not Republican member
been absent, which gave the Demo
Gratis a majority.
The above appeared in the Smyrna
letter in the Every EUening last week.
We are assured it is misleading. In
the first place, the former Levy Court
was urged to renew the sluice of the
Light House road which probably
would not last year. The cost Of
such repairs would have only been $50
or 5000; in fact citizen of the island
offered to guarantee the job for $500.
That Levy Court it seems did not agree
with the maxim that "a stitch in time
saves nine" and hence the legacy OF
expenses that was cast off on the pres
ent Levy Court, for no eficacious
method was made to repair the breach
that was widening all last year. There
was no politics in the movement unless
it was made so at the last meeting oi
, that Board. The Levy Court is equally
divided between politicians with {
