DUMPED TRUNK INTO THE SEA.
Predicament of Party of Dover Folks at
Cape May Last Week.

DIR. John G. Sharpe, proprietor of
the Hotel Richardson, at Dover, re-
ceived a message from Cape May last
week that his wife and her party, con-
sisting of Mrs. Mary H. Webster and
Mrs. E. w. Burnite, both of River
Falls, Wisconsin, who are visiting
Dover for the summer, had met with
a serious mishap at Cape May pier.
The three women sent their best
clothing, including all their summer
finery, from Dover in Mrs. Webster s
large trunk and went down to Cape
May for few days by the ocean.
After identifying their trunk on the
pier, careless drayman, endeavoring
to hurry off with it, dumped it over in
the ocean. Dumbfounded and almost
heartsick the women saw that all their
valuables, dresses and trinkets were
lost but they insisted on having the
han Dor dragged for the trunk. 1t was
finally recovered and all the salt
water-soaked contents were removed
and hung in an engine room to dry,
but the trunk and its contents are
practically total loss.

USE MADE OF BAD EGGS.
Converted Into Solution and Sold to Tanners
For Seasoning Leather.

The bad egg is generally supposed to
be an utterly useless product, and yet
at least one enterprising Philadelphia
is doing a lucrative and highly res
pected business by turning a thor
oughly decayed egg to good account,
and enabling it to add its modest share
to the sum total of American wealth
and prosperity.
During the recent hot spell thou
sands of eggs were rendered waat ap-
peared to be worthless. En- route to
the city from the West the heat des-
troyed numerous crates, and many
eggs were found useless by the time
they reached Philadelphia.
Naturally, you would think these
bad eggs would be thrown away. Not
so. Nor is the egg dealer ever com
PEELED to pay for hauling them away q
1t is here that the enterprising dealer
IN bad eggs asserts his ingenuity and
usefulness in the community. He Wis
its the commission merchant and offers
to haul them away free of charge.
Furthermore, when eggs are scarce he
pays at the rate of two or three cents a
dozen for the decayed products, but
now when the heat causes such a large
percentage to be rendered spoiled he
does not have to pay anything; the
dealer is glad enough to have his
assistance in hauling the spoiled and
useless eggs away.
These he takes to his factory, and
they are there converted into a solu-
tion used in tanning. The solution
loses all offensive odor in its prepara-
tiOn, and is sold to the tanner by the
gallon. The latter uses it in the sea-
sOning of the leather, calfskin partio-
ularly responding to its application. 1t
is used to whiten the leather, an expe-
rienced tanner says, and also to fill in
the grain. in.-PhiladelphiG Times.

THE OYSTER SEASON.
The BivaIve Will be Due by the First of Sep.
tember.

The oyster season will begin on Sep
tember 1st. 1t is thought prices will
be higher this year. There has been
an advance of 80 cents a thousand on
last years prices. This is expected
every year now by oystermen. 1t is
not that the supply is less, but the de-
mand is greater every season and the
supply does not increase. Judging
from the statement of retail dealer
should the supply increase there will
be no material change in the situation,
as nothing can keep pace with the de-
mand. Where oysters were shipped
x4.-- among several of the Eastern
States few years ago, they are now
sent all over the country and ship
ments are made to England. An in
stance of the growing scarcity is given
in the fact that though Baltimore is the
centre of the oyster industry of the
world, last year at one time the mar
ket there was bare OF shell oysters, an
unprecedented circumstance.
The waters of Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia supply the oyster market
of the world, because they are the
choicest bivalves to be had anywhere.
The States farther east have good oys-
ters, but dealers say ours beat them.
The Pacific coast oyster is about the
same as the English bivalve. both hav-
ing peculiar coppery taste and being
nothing in comparison to those of this
part of the country.

Literary News.

The sale of thousands of copies of a
ten-cent magazine at one dollar apiece
was very curious happening at the
time of the Chicago Worlds Fair. The
Cosmopolitan prepared Worlds Fair
number. contributed to by many fa-
nous writer's, and so thoroughly illus
trated that it surpassed even the most
expensive book which had up to that
time been issued. In those days the
magazine was printed from two sets of
plates only, and when these were worn
out it was impossible, without grea!
loss of time, to put further editions on
the press. The newsdealers, taking
advantage of this condition, raised the
price of the COSmOpOljtdn's Worlds
Fair number to one dollar copy. A
few sales were even made toward the
close at the phenomenal figure of five
dollars. Undoubtedly this happening
is unique in the history of magazine
literature. The Cosmopolitan will en-
deavOr to repeat its past success, with
a Pan-American Exposition Number.

possible, than its Worlds Fair prede-

STEEL RAILS IN SPITE OF STRIKE.
Cambria Company Supplies Material for
Kent County Trolley Roads.

Contractor John Berkery, builder of
the General Electric Company's 80
miles of trolley roads, uniting the
Kent county towns, received a tele-
gram Wednesday that two carloads
of steel rails had left the Cambria Iron
Compeny's plant at Johnstown. These
are the first rails the trolley builders
have received since the steel strike
began, and when complaint was made
against the tardy shipments, they re-
ceived the information that they woulk
be lucky if they did not have to i'm
port rails from England in order to
complete their line. There is almost
enough material at Dover now to build
wire and otherwise equip ten miles of
the trolley line.

CORPSE WEIGHED ASS POUNDS.
No Hearse in Dover Was Large Enough for
the Funeral.

One of the fattest women in Amer
lea was buried at Dover, Thursday.
She was Rachel Ann Till, 6S years old,
and weighing 455 pounds. The cause
of death was fatty degeneration of the
heart, superinduced by the disease
for which she was being treated. In
taking her measurement for a burial
casket, Mr.. Pritchett found that it
would require coffin three feet wide
and 81 inches deep.
After making her casket Wednesday,
the undertaken found thai it would
not go out of his shop, and he had
some of his work to do over again.
When he arrived at the deceased's
home, in Persimmon lane, he fonnd
that nowhere would the casket go into
the house. The corpse had to be low
cred down from the bed chamber by
means of the burial ropes, then carried
out to the porch by dozen stalwart
hands. Then it could not be gotten
into the hearse, and the undertaker's
"dead" wagon had to be called into

PASTOR COMMITS SUICIDE
IN BELFRY OF HIS CHURCH
THE REV. GEORGE B. HARRINGTON hANG-
ED HIMSELF AT OXFORD, NJ. J.
Was Native of Frederick, Del, and Weat to
His First Charge at Oxford, N. j.,
Eighteen Months Ago.

The Rev. George B. Harrington,
young Drew Seminary student, filling
his first charge ct Oxford, n. j., COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself in
the church belfry.
On August 9TH Harrington married
Miss Lida Tice, organist of the church,
and 1t is largely due to the criticism
heaped upon him for this act that he
took his life. The minister and his
wife went to spend the day with her
parents, and although Harrington
seemed depressed nothing unusual was
thought of it. Shortly before noon he
left the house, remarking to his wife,
as if joking, she thought, that he guess
ed he would kill himself during the
day. His wife thought nothing of the
remark, except to say to him it was
sorry joke to talk that way. He did
not return at noon, as usual, and
search for him was begun. 1t was
learned that during the morning he
had visited the store which is operated
by the Oxford Mining Company and
there had purchased a piece of half
inch rope. In view of the threat to kill
himself this was alarming and a gen.
eral search was instituted. The church
being locked, was one of the last places
searched, but there late in the after
noon the body was found swinging in
the belfry. He had tied the rope to a
joist, and after placing a moose around
his neck, had swung off and strangled
to death. He had been dead three
hours.

THE SHERIFF WILL HANG.
Under the Law the Sheriff and Not the War.
den Will Perform This Duty.

1t has been found that under the
law the sheriff and not the warden of
the workhouse will hang all persons
condemned for murder. There has
been question for some time as to
where the duties of the sheriff ended
and those of the trustees began in the
punishment of prisoners.
1t was found that the chief warden
or some one designated by the trustees
must whip the prisoners, and that the
sheriff would not longer have any
duty iii that line, and it was generally
supposed that some one delegated by
the trustees of the workhOuse would
be compelled to carp out the sentence
of the court when capital punishment
was to be inflicted. 1t has been found,
however, that the law gives no one but
the sheriff the power to hang a pris
oner sentenced by the court.

What promises to be a very impor.
tant enterprise is now being inaugu-

ago very fine stratum of clay was dis
covered few hundred yards west of

retary George G. Moore, had tests
made of the material. These tests
demonstrated that the quality was such
that good bricks could be made there
and it was at once decided to erect a
brick kiln. This is now being done,
and it is likely that the bricks will be
on the market in few weeks.

go behind the law. Sheriff Mcdaniel

ought the committing magistrate to be
characterized as scoundrel if he folr
lows the statutes. We admit that in
late years the fee system is all wrong.
