DELAWARE COLLEGE OPENS TOMORROW
Promise Of Large Freshman Glass Military
Drills will Take Place Daily.

Delaware College will resume its ses-
sions tomorrow at the conclusion of
the Fall examinations. 1t is expected
there will be large freshman class.
A meeting of the committee on dis
cipline of the college was held Monday
when it was decided to request the War
Department to assign a Captain Moore
of the regular army, as military in
structor at the college. 1t also was
decided to have military drills for the
cadets daily, instead of three times a
week, as in the past This is an i'm
portant change, and denotes that the
college authorities intend to give great
er atttenton to the military feature of
the college life.
DIR. Edgar Dawson, who has been
studying at Heidelburg, Germany, has
been selected to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the resignation of Professor E.
n. Vallandigham, who will engage for
awhile in newspaper work in New

KENToN, Sept. 9.--The peach has
about played its part in the CONNER
clal circle for this season and it has,
indeed, been blessing. In the first
place there was a good crop of rich,
we'll matured fruit, and in the next, as
a result coming out of this fact, the
price has ranged we'll throughout the
season so that many thousand dollars
have beer scattered through our COM
munity. Not only have peaches been
success, but almost everything pro-
duced by the farmer has been market
able at a good substantial price, so
that taking it all around we have had a
wonderfully profitable year where we
ought indeed to be glad.
Monday of this week was Academy
day and four of our young people went
down to Dover and matriculated for a
course in that school. They were, Miss
Mary Garrison, Mr.. Gilbert Garrison,
and Mr. Chester Davis, of Kenton,
and Miss Anna Mabrey. of Blackiston.
Mr.. Goodwin Taylor, who was stu
dent at Conference Academy last year
left on Tuesday of last week for the
Wilmington Business School.
: 1t was our pleasure to be at Confer
ence Academy, Dover, most of the day
on Monday and it was remarked by
several that in all probability never in
the history of the school was the pros
pect quite so fattering as it is this
year. We.are glad this is SO. for Prin-
cipal Cross is hard worker and richly
deserves the success that is now
crowning his efforts.
The primary room of our public
school opened on Monday of this weel
with Miss Kate Downs in charge.
A committee has been appointed BY
Mr.. G. Garrison, the Superintendent
of our Sunday School, to select a new

dropped dead in his home, No. 1O4
East Eighth street Sunday night. He
had been connected with the Penn.

He started as water boy in the bridge
gang, which worked under the super
vision of his uncle, James H. Smith.
Step by step Mr.. Smith arose in the
bridge gang, until he became master
carpenter and bridge builder, which
position he held at the time of his
death. Mr.. Smith was known from
one end of the Maryland and Della
ware division to the other, and was
universally liked. Many of the i'm
provements made along the line for a
number of years we're done under his
supervision. He was regarded as an
expert in his line, and his opinion was
always valued by his superiors, who
consulted him frequently. The de.
ceased was a widower, his wife having
died a number of years ago. He il
survived by nine grown children.

were walking along the tracks between

they noticed an old brake shoe tightly
wedged in a switch in such q manner
that it would have thrown a train run

the station at Brenford and notified
the operator there so that he could
send word to headquarters at Clayton
of their discovery. For the time be-
ing all trains were held until an inves-
tigation could be made and matters
righted. Several representatives of
the railroad company, together with
County Constable Herman Wood, went
there as soon as possible and removed
the obstruction. The trains were also
run slowly over that part of the road.

could be made to see if there had been
any more obstructions placed any
where, but none could be found. Had
the thing not been discovered when it
was, there is no telling what may have
happened as the passenger train above
referred to would have been the first
southbound one to pass the place.
Several people residing at Brenford
recall having noticed two strangers

day, but whether they had anything
