Dover has the honor of having
policeman of grit and nerve to quel
any disorder that may come under hi.
Jurisdiction. On Saturday evening las
a negro by the name of Pullman be-
came disorderly and. Policeman P. s.
Hurd approached him and was about
to arrest him when he was surrounded
by negro mob, and while trying to
keep from shooting any Of the mob he
was cut by razor, lacerating his nose
and both lips. The officer, blinded as
he was, never gave up, but finally ar
rested the negro, and the others who
interfered were held in bail for
interference.
Last weak while some shad fisher
men were fishing for shad they were
surprised to run across a school of
sturgeon, but without hesitancy they
abandoned the catching of shad and
followed in pursuit Of the larger and
more valuable fish, catching 2S ofthem
in a few hours. 1t is said the caviare,
or roe, from one of the fish netted them
800. and that the whole catch aggre-
gated 81 400. The fishermen are much
euthused over the possibilities Of the
approaching season.
A session of the State Bosrd Of Agrl-
culture met in Dover on Thursday of
last week and submitted the following
concerning the prospects of the fruit
crops of the State. AS to the straw
berry crop there will be but few more
weeks unless there is a rain. Peaches,
they say, have also suffered except the
harder varieties, such as Georgia Bellies, .
Elbertas, and few others. The April
frOsts have had a bad effect upon the .
Keifier pears, and their yielding will
also be light A full crop of apples of
every variety is looked for. 1t was
also stated that recent experiments .
have revealed the fact that the San
Jose scale is easily killed with a solu-
ton of crude oil.
Louis A. Levy, Of Dover shipped
thirty head of fine steers, which he had
from the wasteed refuse of his
iistillery, the cattled averaged nearly
400 lbs. The cattle when purchased
about 900 lbs, and they have
yained about 5OOlbs within months.
Ir.Levy will in a few weeks have sixty

to shelter the increased

washington, May 26. - Postmaster
General Payne has summarily dis
missed Daniel V. Miller, assistant at
torney in the office of the assistant
attorney general for the postofIi-e de-
partment, for accepting a bribe In con-
nection with the case Of John J. Ryan
& Co.. charged with fraudulent use Of
the mails. A warrant has been issued
for Miller's arrest.
II, Another warrant has been issued for
the arrest of man who is charged
with being the partner or a go-between
in the transaction. The bri0e is alleged
to have been accepted in Cincinnati
last December.
Miller came here from Terre Eaute.
Ind, about two years ago. He was ap-
pointed by former Assistant Attorney
General JSmes N. Tyner. The charge
against Miller has been under inyesti-
cation for three months The Ryan
company was a turf investment con-
cern. which operated at St. Louis and
COvington, Ky. It's methods and work.
ing operations are said to be similar to
those of the Arnold company, which
has figured conspicuously in the post
office investigation. Complaint was
made by Inspector Fulton before a
United States commissioner in Cincfn-
natl Saturday and a warrant was then
sworn out for Miller and one other
party Mr.. Fulton then came to Wash |
ington, while another inspector Went
west from Cincinnati to make the other |
arrest.
The Ryan company was the benef |
siary under a decision of the assistant /
attorney general of the postofice de-
partment, made several months ago,
subsequent to the decision in the Ar
mold case. and couched in practically
the same terms as that decision. Those
decisions declared the concerns named
to be free to use the mails.
Last night Miller was in the custody
of postofice inspector, and his formal
arrest followed this morning. Miller
was at his desk all day yesterday. He
was called into the Office of Assistant
Attorney General Robb late in the af-
ternoOn, and notified of his immediate
dismissal. He was allowed to draw his
salary and then return to the private
Office Of the assistant attorney gen
eral, where inspectors were in wait
ing.
It is stated that the amount offered
Miller as a bribe aggregated several
thousand dollars. and was in the form
Of cash payment. followed by check
This payment is alleged to have taken
place in Cincinnati, so that the case
will be tried there, probably in the De-
.ober term of court. Miller was taken
10 the city hall last night and placed
lnder arrest by deputy marshal. He
waived an examination and was re-
eased on $500 bonds for appearance
vt court.
The penalty for the offence is a fine
# not more than three times the
mount asked or accepted and impris-
inment of not more than three years. y

CrOp Report.

Following is the weather summary
for the week ending on the 18th inst,
issued by the observation bureau at
Seattle:
The fore part of the past week was
moderately warm, while the latter part
was unduly cool. Heavy frost &C.
CURED on the 10th in the Big Bend
country, which may have done add.
,ional injury to the fruit crop. The
principal feature Of the week was the
timely showers that fell generally over
the State, but were mostly needed, and
therefore Of greatest benefit, in the
eastern districts. Late sown spring
wheat and oats were terminated, and
all grain was benefited, as we'll as al
falfa, clover, hops and vegetables.
Potatoes have come up well, and
hops are growing finely. Glover and
alfalfa are 8 to II inches high. Potato
planting and gardening are about fin
ished. On account of cold winds, rye
is not making good showing. Wheat
and oats are growing only slowly, and
warmer weather is needed for the
growth of grain, and to properly pol
lenize the fruit blossoms. Strawber-
ries are now in bloom.
In general, the present condition Of
wheat is not the best. The stand is
rather thin, and the fall wheat is not
stooling strongly. 1t has not, as yet,
regained any of the growth lost
through the lateness of the season.
