1HDIcr JOHN LYNN

Eleven indictments were returned by
the grand jury Friday against John
Lynn, president of the Levy Court, and
one true bill was found against Harry M.
White, former member OF the Levy
Conrt, on information furnished to the
jurors by Attorney General Ward, as a
result of his investigation of transactions
of the Levy Court President Lynn had
been arrested on charge OF stealing $50,
and of obtaining $3.50 under false pre-
tences from the county. Ten of the true
bills returned by the jury set forth that
he obtained by false pretences, the sum
of $2,S65.75 from the county treasury.
The eleventh indictment is that on q
charge of the larceny OF $50, and the true
bill against White alleges that he stole
$54,75 from the county, All OF the
offenses set forth are alleged to have oc-
CURED in 1899 and 1900, when Lynn and
White were members of the Levy Court
that went out of existence on January
last. After returning these bills, the
jurors were discharged from any further
attendance until December 9, and this is
Significantly regarded as an indication
that Attorney General Ward may cause
other arrests before that time on infor-
nation he has obtained during his inves-
or may present information to
the jury and ask for true bills against GER
tain persons who have not been taken
into custody as yet.

A GOOD YEAR FOR FARMERS

IL VIII be news to many, perhaps, that
the present has been good year for the
larmer-one OF the best, indeed, in the
history OF the country, says the Baltimore
Ne'0s' The surprise is the greater when
the severe drought of last summer is re-
called, and the wide misgivings on that
account. That well-known authority,
the Orange Judd Farmer. in a recent
issue, shows why, in spite of some short.
comlngs and failures, the year has been,
from an agricultural point of view. an
extraordinary one. There was, indeed,
shortage in the corn crop, which caused
loss to many farmers; but there was CONF
Pensation in the large crop of wheat,
There was also smaller crop than usual
OF potatoes but here good fortune comes
IN the guise of i'll, for this never-failips
accompaniment of the American dinner
brought large prices. The wheat crot,
brought $l50, 100000 more than the crop
OF the preceding year, and the total value
OF farm products was greater by S4OO. .OOO.-
Oo0 than that of 1900. The Orange Judd
Farmer gives further interesting figures
confirming these conditions. Going back
to 1896, it shows that nine staple crops in
the United States are worth 500, 900, 900
more than they were at that time. A
comparison is also made between the out
put OF the last five years and that of the
preceding term of the same length. The
gain to the cotton growers is $40O, ,OOO,O
and the increase in the exports of agri-
cultural products nearly the same amount.
The gain in cereals-wheas, corn, oats,
barley and rye-about 81 600 900, 900 over
that OF those products in the FIVE preced-
ing years. The farmers gain of the in
crease OF circulated money is 80 per cent.
in five years, his proportion now being
S2S per capita. Everything relating to
him and his pursuit in his social existence
shows advancement. Life on the farm
was never so comfortable and pleasant as
we'll as prosperous.

CANNED GOODS MAY BE HIGH

Indications are that the prices of all
lines of canned goods will be high DUR
ing the winter, especially tomatoes.
Canned tomatoes have advanced steadily
from the beginning of the season and
will probably go higher. During the
past week values have advanced 10 cents
q dozen for three pound standards,
prices now being 81. 10 a dozen. Toma-
toes in gallons have advanced from So. rs
to So. a dozen during the week. The
price of three pound standards has ad
yanced about 25 cents dozen during the
past two months and from 40 to 45 cents
q dozen since the opening of the season.
The cause for the strength of this line of
canned goods Is the light stock on hand,
owing to the small crop and light pack.

WAREHOUSE DESTROYED

Fire Saturday night destroyed the
large freight warehouse, coal sheds and
lime and cement storehouses of the Char
les Warner Company along the Christiana
river front from Market to King streets.
Wilmington, causing damage that may
approximate $l0O,0 The buildings
were insured and there was insurance on
some of the freight.
Heavy rain and the wind in favor
able direction probably saved the estab-
lishments along the river for some dis
tance from destruction. For time the
Offices and stables of the Warner Conn
pany were threatened but the wind blew
from northeasterly direction carrying
the flames ont toward the river. This
condition most likely saved from de-.
struction the B. & o. freight house and
the hridgetender's house at the north end
of Market street bridge. Though it was.
late in the night thousands of people
assembled to watch the progress of the
fire.
At 1l.0S O'Clock Patrolman "Chris''
Shields, who was standing at Front and
King streets, saw cloud of smoke shoot
from the King street side of the storeage-
house, near the boiler room, He ran to
the Market street Office of the firm and
sounded an alarm from box No. Al, and
the first four fire companies in few
minutes were galloping toward the scene
Of the blaze.
In an incredibly short time the build,
ings in the east yard were mass of
roaring flames, the light from which
brilliantly illuminated the heavens and
made objects plainly visible for great
distance around. A second alarm was
Eurnad in a few minutes following the
6rst, to which the remainder of the
responded.
By the time they had reached the
scene, however, il was evident that the
'reight buildings, which were filed with
highly intlammable material, could not
be saved,

to locate it has been in vain. The sur

shoroughly. However, there are several

the fact that some of the most valuable
