Alarm OF Fire.

The fire alarm was sounded at
about l 1:30 this forenoon and in a
surprisingly short time a crowd was
gathered around the barn in the rear
of A. L. Champeau's block on Main
street. A fire had started in one OF
the stalls and smoke was issuing from
the door and win low of the barn.
Volunteers were many and with a
garden hose in the hands of Fred
Morgan, a boarder at the Lamoille
House, the fire was extinguished. 1t
Is thought that the blaze started by
a match in the hands of some carless
smoker. Considering the situation
of the buildings on this side of the
street, the damage possible if the fire
had got good headway is not pleas
ant to contemplate.

Democratic County Convention.

The Democratic County Convention
was held at Hyde Park yesterday af
ternoon. About the usual number
responded to the call. e. L. Noyes
of Hyde Park was elected Chairman
and A. G. Small of Morrisville was
made Secretary. The resolutions OIL
the recent State Convention were
made the resolutions OF this conven.
tion. The following ticket was placed
in nomination -
Senator-E. L. Noyes, Hyde Park.
States Att'y-B. A. Hunt, j Johnson.
Assistant Judges-E. II. Stone,
Eden; Geo. F. Small, Morristown.
Judge of Probate-E. Z. White,
Hyde Park.
Sheriff--John ]. Vearen, Stowe.
High Baihff-D. N. Hutchins, Nor
risviIle.
County Commissioner-D.J.F Farrell,
johnson.
The County Committee are E. l..
Noyes, Hyde Park; A. P. Collins,
Eden; A. G. Small, Morrisville.
E. l.. Noyes was the candidate for
Senator two years ago, as was B. A.
Hunt for States Attorney and Geo.
F. Small for Second Assistant Judge.
There were no special speeches and
about the only interesting thing in
the whole proceedings were the re-
marks of D. j. Farrell of johnson
when he was nominated for County
Commissioners. He expressed himself
emphatically in favor of prohibitory
law and was opposed to local option.
II am a Democrat, but do not believe
in high license, and therefore you bad
better nominate somebody else." B.
A. Hunt replied by saying " We want
a man that will enforce the law. The
ObnoxiOusness of the law is because
it is not enforced fairly; in some
places it is lightly enforced, in others
strenuously. | am somewhat afraid
we will have to endure it awhile
longer and so we want some one to
enforce the law because it would be
more obnoxious" Mr.. Farrand re-
sented this by saying "There are not
half a dozen men here who would
stand up and say we want free rum. "
If he should be elected he would en-
force the law because he believed in
it. ~ would take no offense if some
body more friendly to the law you are
fighting for was nominated" Not
withstanding this emphatic declara-
tiOn Mr.. Farrell WAS nominated and
the convention adjourned.

A Pleasant Social.

The W. R. G. social following their
regular meeting last Saturday even
ing quite largely attended and was
voted by all to be decidedly pleasant
social event. The time was passed in
social intercourse and to listening to
an exceptionally well rendered liter
ary and musical program. The pro-
gram was opened by solo by Miss
Glee Towne which was followed by
song by Prof. c. E. Hadley. Capt.
Frank Kenfeld told in an interesting
way how Gettysburg looked 80 years
ago on his first visit to the famous
battlefield and A, F. Whitney made an
interesting story of the changes since
the great battle and of the work on
the National Cemetery. The speeches
we're followed bya vocal solo by Mrs.
D. E. Croft and piano solo by Miss
Lulu Towne, with violin obligato by
l.. j. Smith of Cady's Falls. The pro-
gram was closed by short speeches,
in response to an invitation by the
President, Mrs. W. FL. H. Goodale,
by Rev. Delmer E. Croft and Rev. J..
P. Booth.
la glancing over the above pro-
gram the thought is suggested and
is worthy of mention that Morris

ing and responds readily to invita-
tions to assist in any entertainment
of local nature. This applies equal
ly to summer visitors and local

Captain Andrew WOOdaII Will Have a Yield
of 100000 Bushels From His Farm.

Captain Andrew Woodall of George
town, Kent county, who owns many
fine farms in lower Cecil county, is
having the wheat crops on his thirty
farms in the two counties threshed,
and from present prospects, the yield
will reach from 10000 to 100, 900, which
is slightly smaller than last seasoA,
when his crop exceeded 100000
bushels. Mr.. Woodall's farms are the
finest of the Eastern Shore, ire about
equally divided in Lowe1' Cecil and
Kent counties, and cJmprise about
IS, 900 acres of land. The corn crops
on his farm promise 20 be very large,
and it is estimated will reach at least
125, 600 bushels. Mr.. Woodall is SO
years of age. He began life as a poor
boy and as now reputed to be a mil
lionaire. AS youth he learned the
trade of carpenter with his father, but
before he was 81 years of age bought
a boat and commenced a freighting
business from Fredericktown to Bal
timOre.
He was very successful in his ven--
ture and soon purchased other yes
sells Soon he had quite a large fleet
of sailing vessels, and carried on a
very successful freighting business
between Fredericktown, Georgetown
and Baltimore. Capt. Woodall now
has interests in a number of steamers,
and is interested in several national
banks and other corporations. Not
withstaEding his advanced age, Capt.
Woodall personally conducts a large
portion of his vast business. ELkton

REPRESENTATIVE CLARK
SUGGESTS PARTY HARMONY
WANTS CONFERENCE OF ALL REPUBLICAN
MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE CALLED.
And Have a Kind aud 0entIemanly Confer.
ence in Regard TO the Situation and
Agree on United Party.

The Hon. Theodore F. Clark, rep
resentative in the General Assembly
from Red Lion hundred, was in the
city yesterday. He was asked what he
thought of the political situation in the
state and what he considered neces-
sary in order to reach an understand
ing between the two Republican or
CARNATIONS. In reply Mr.. Clark said:
''After much thought and careful
consideration, 1 am forced to believe
that every true Republican in the
state of Delaware, who has the inter
est of the state, and the general govern
ment at heart-no matter whether he
be Regular or a Union Republican
should desire the healing of the party
breach and the election of two Uuited
States Senator'S.
''It seems very clear to my mind
that unless the two factions arrange
their differences, and get together
very speedily, the victory which we
gained two years ago will be lost for
years to come, and we will have be-
yond all doubt, two Democratic
United States Senators to represent
| this state.
Therefore, feeling as 1 do the very
grave importance of the situation, ]
have been constrained to take the lib
erty without consultation with any
member of the Legislature to make
the following suggestion, namely:
"That all the Republican members
meet some day in the near future, il
the Young Mems Republican Clut
rooms in the city of Wilmington, anC
have kind and gentlemanly confer
ence in regard to the situation tha
now conf-0nts the Republican party
to see i some way honorable to boil
factions-without the sacrifice of prin
cirie-cannot be devised to unite tn,
party and to elect two Republican
A United States Senators. This would
be an inestimable blessing, not only t,
our beloved state, but great help t.
the national administration.
81 trust that both factions will re
ceive the suggestion in the same kind
patriotic and peaceful spirit in whicl
it is made, and that good may resul
from it.

FINE PEACHES AROUND DOVER.
Mr.. E. G. Packard Makes Fine Exhibit from
His Orchard Of Young Bearing Trees.

It now seems a certainty that ther
will be a good crop of peaches in this
section this year. Peaches are now
coming in for market and being good
quality are selling at good prices.
E. G.. Packard, of near Dover
brought to Dover Wednesday morning
the finest samples of peaches that have
been seen for a long time. They were
pronounced very fine by all who saw
them. The varieties are Mountain.
Rose, Champion, Connecticut and
Waddell, and each one of them would
pass inspection and be classed as the
celebrated Delaware peach.
Mr.. Packard has ten trees of new
variety of peaches which are making
wonderful progress this season. They
were bought for Carman, but Mr..
Packard now thinks they are Waddell.
They are above medium size, white
with deep red blush and of good quail
ity for extra early peaches. No signs
of rot have yet been seen and it ap-
pears to be a first class shipper. It's
productiveness is something wonder
full. From his ten trees, only three
years old, Mr.. Packard has picked
over twenty baskets of fruit which
measured over eighteen quarts to the
basket. These peaches sold readily
for rs cents a basket in Dover. AS
these trees occupy only one square
rod each, the amount received for the
fruit is at the rate of over $240 per
acre. This fruit natures July II to
80, when there are no other good
peaches in the market. On single
small limb taken from one of these
trees, and now in the LladeT Office
there are ovel fifty well developed and
highly colored peaches.
