Warner on an order by Magistrate
Cooper to the Sheriff, and brought him
back to Smyrna. He was accompan-
led by his attorney James L. Walcott,
Esq. Inasmuch as the condition of
Constable Wright has very much i'm
proved and he is able to be about

bail to $500. Messrs. Elmer H. Walker
and S. M. Taylor of Kenton went

TRACK BETWEEN MASSElS
AND CLAYTON ABANDONED
ACTION OE THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE
BALTIMORE AND DELAWARE BAY R.R.
Held Meeting in ChestertOwu Last Wednes.
day and Vote to Abandon Several Miles
of the Road Once an Important Line.

A special meeting of the stockhold-
ers and directors of the Baltimore and
Delaware Bay Railroad Company was
held at the Chestertown depot We'd
nesday to consider and determine the
question of changing the northern
terminus of this company's railroad,
and discOntinuing and abandoning the
operation of the small portion thereof
between the Northern terminus at
Clayton and the point of intersection
with the Townsend branch of the Del
aware Railroad company at Massey,
and the disposition to be made of the
rails, ties, track material and struc-
lures on the abandoned portion. 1t
was unanimously decided to abandon
this track from Massey to Clayton be-
ginning July 1st, as authorized by Act
of Assembly, approved March Goth,
1902, as follows:
"An act to authorize the Baltimore and Della.
ware Bay Railroad Company to change the nor.
thern terminus Ofits railroad from the present
point on the boundary line between this State
and the State of Delaware, to the point of inter
section with the Townsend Branch of the Della
ware Railload Company, to discontinue Opora-
ton Of ana abandon the small portion of its rail
road between said points; and to lease and sell
ana convey, either both the remainder of its
railroad and property and franchises exercisahle
In connection Herewith, to the Delaware Rail
road Company; and TO authorize the Delaware
Railroad 'ompany 10 become lessee Oh purchas-
eT thereof"
Among those present were Messrs.
Charles T. Westcott, Murray Vandi-
yer, Col. Holiday, George V. Massey,
Marion deK. Smith, J. c. Rogers.
Division Freight Agent Kingston, En-
gineer Latrobe, Ashton and Lamotte.
After carefully considering the exten-
sion of the Nicholson branch it was
decided that inasmuch as new ties,
rails, ETC., would be required the
freight from there would not Justify the
outlay.
The abandonment of the track from
Massey's to Clayton calls to mind day
when this road was one of the bus,
peach shipping trunk lines. In thos,
days the Bombay Hook Railroad ex
tending from Clayton via Smyrna t,
Woodland Beach, was then the north
ern terminus. Hundreds of cars o.
the famous Delaware peaches wer,
shipped over its lines. In addition t.
this, excursion trains were run tt
Woodland Beach, and afforded al
opportunity for Sunday Schools and
other organizations from all parts o
the peninsula to spend day at thi
bayside resort. The action of tn,
stockholders above mentioned, com
pletely obliterates the road from Mas
sey's, Maryland, to the Delaware Bay

DELAWARE PEACHES ARE RIpHNINd.
Enough Left After June Drop to Make Full
Three.Quarters Crop Of Fruit.

Saturday, June 81, was the official
wind-up or limit to the"June drop of
the peach. By general consent of
prominent peach authorities the fruit
left on the tree after that date is safe,
barring hail, storms or other similar
conditions. The excessive prevalence
of the leaf curl in the orchards of
prominent peach growers in the peach
belt has affected the outlook to some
extent. Then, too, the "drop," due
to the sting of the curculio, was heavy
in many cases; but, withel, the Della
ware-Maryland Peninsula has a full
three-quarters crop Of fruit to be sent
to market during the approaching sea
son.

REGULARS FIXING ON CONVENTION DATES
Said to be September While Primaries are
Reported to be Set for September 6.

The Regular Republican State Con-
vention will he held, it is said, Sep
tember and the primaries September
6. This will be just two weeks after
the Union Republican primaries and
state convention. The Republican
leaders say that two months is far
enough ahead of the election for the
state nomination to be made. By having
an intermission of two weeks between
the two conventions, it probably Will
occur that some arrangement will be
made by the leaders of both parties to
agree upon certain candidates, who
will be nominated by agreement at the
Regular Republican State Convention
September 8. The primary for the
nomination of county officers and
members of the Legislature will in all
probability be held October 4, which is
just one month before the election and
several days earlier than it was two
years ago.

STRANGLED TO DEATH IN HIGH CHAIR
Peculiar Accident to George C. HeiuhOld, Jr..
Infant Son of Mr.. and Mrs. George c.
f1einhOld, While the Latter was AWAY.


George G. Heinhold, Jr., the infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs. George G. Helm
hold living a few miles north of Smyr-
ma on the state road, met with a pecul-
lar accident Monday morning that
caused its almost instant death. The
bright-eyed, chubby little fellow was
tied in his arm chair with a towel and
the members of the family left him t.
go in the berry patch a few yards
away. They had been out but a short
time when Mrs. Heinhold sent her
daughter to see how the baby was get
ting along, when to her utter dismay
the mother learned that the child was
IN a lifeless condition. The little fell
low, who had a wonderful amount Of
energy, had squirmed around in his
high chair and slipped down, his neck
was caught over the towel and almost
without murmur, was strangled to
death. The strange thing about the
accident is that the high chair never
tOppled over and no sound was heard
from the infant, even though the fami-
ly were within hearing distance. Mr..
and Mrs. Heinhold have the sympathy
of their friends in the loss of their only
son. Satisfactory arrangements have
been made and their will be no coro-
ner's inquest. Interment will take
place this afternoon.
