NATIONAL GUARD ENCAMPMENT.
Delaware's Troops Will Go into Camp
at COOches Bridge From July 10th
to 23rd, Inclusive.

Orders have been issued for the an
nual camp of instruction for the Nat
ional Guard of Delaware by Governor
Hum, and two weeks from Saturday
the First Infantry will assemble at
CoOche's Bridge for an eight day tour
of duty. In all there will be about
four hundred men take part in this
encampment, and the place selected is
one of the best in the State. 1t is near
the place where the first National flag
was unfurled, and there are facilities
for rifle practice only eXcelled by RehO-
both.
Now that the men realize that there
is not sufficient funds to go to RehO-
both and also attend the RegularArmy
maneuvres in the fall, they are per
fectly cOntented with the selection OF
the site. Outside of Rehoboth there is
probably no better place for camp in
the State than the one selected.

Base Ball Notes.

Last Saturday Milford and Dover
lined up on the diamond for the third
time this season, and after playing one
of the best of the series Dover finally
won out. The game was marked with
some fast fielding work both by the
local and Dover team, Porter the old
reliable, was on third and held that
bag down in way unknown to oilers.
Roberts, better known as stranger"
played short stop, his work was
particular feature. Kite who will
catch for the local team during the
seassn, made quite hit with the small
crowd present.
The game started with William,
who will Captain the Milford team in
their struggles on the diamond this
season, serving them up for Milford,
and what he did to those Dover boys
for five innings is not worth mention:
but there the trouble begun, Alice hit
a high fly which either the short or
second baseman could have easily got
was allowed to drop between both, and
before the side could be retired they
had succeeded in making two runs
In the locals half of the fifth inning,
Slaughter made a hit being the first
man to reach first base on the local
team. williams hit to the pitcher who
made bad throw 10 first and Roberts
who ran for Williams stole second on
the first ball pitched. Belts then hit
one to hot for the short stop to handle
cieanly, and he made a wild throw, on
which Slaughter scored and Roberts
slide home on the throw in which lied
the score. There was no more SCORING
done uutil DOver's half Of the eight,
when they hatted in three runs; then
Manager Brooks thought it would be
wise thing to take Capt. Williams
out, so he was haltered and sent to the
stable. and Slaughter brought forward
to take up the burden where he left off.
which he did with a will that stopped
further scoring during the game. Mil
ford made a great rally in their half Of
the ninth inning, but the lead was
to great to overcome And thus the
game ended, Dover being the winner
by the score of . to 5.
The features of the game were the
playing of Porter and Roberts for Mil
ford, and the batting of Carriss and
Johnson, also the pitching Of Griffith
for Dover.

CORKRAN AND BAKER ON TRIAL.
Damaging Testimony Against Dr.
COrkran.

The trial of Rev. DR.. COrkran by the
ministers of the Wilmington NJ. E.
Conference has been in progress this
week in Wilmington, where the ses-
sions have been held in the Union
Church. The testimony given on the
first day was very damaging to the
doctor.
The evidence showed that DIR. Cork
ran frequented the office of a speculs-
tor in stocks, John P. Hudson, while
stationed at Smyrna, and the Rev Ro
bert Watt testified that Hudson told
me that his wife asked him. "Why is
Corkran in your office so much? He
replied; when we cannot find any
body else to skin we skin each other. u
The Rev. w. G, Rooms, presiding
elder Ofthe Smyrna district, was called,
He also had conversation with Mr..
Hudson referring to the above. He
stated that he and Dr. Corkran were
partners in common sorts of margin
stocks. Said Mr.. Hudson: CDR. Cork
ran tried to show me that he had done
nothing wrong. but he is in the hole a;
bad as I am financially. lost all
had some years ago by dealing in
Southern speculatiOns and resolved not
to speculate any more, but now | am
in it worse than ever and Corbran has
been with me in it,"
Several ministers testified that they
had been induced to buystOcks through
DR.. Corkran, and also testified to the
doubtful value of the stocks dealt in.
Rev. w. F. Dawson said that a Mr.
Atwell had been induced to buy 81 0OC
worth of stock, now of little value, anc
that he bought them because he re
gaIded DR.. Corkran as a shTewd busi
ness man, aud well posted in suef
matters.
The Rev. w H. S. Williams, pasto
at GumbOrO, was called, lie had nnah
cial relations with DR.. Corkran. HI
indorsed a note for DR.. COr&ran in tn
Georgetown bank. Near the end Of tn
time he said DR.. Corkran promised Il
try to get another indOrser, but did no
get it. The note was protested, ant
still remains in that condition.
O-"Did DR. Corkran show dispo
sition to ignore this note and thro'
the responsibility on you ?"
A--"He did not"
The witness said he was not worry
ing about the note and had not ashe
for other security. The note mature
April s, 1904. He said "The ban
wrote me that the note was due an
that they looked to me for paymen

ing,

Some of the pavements in front Of

Of Milford, are in the very poorest con-
dtion and tits surprising that the own
ers have so little pride in their sur
IOundings as to permit the conditions
to exist. In some instances it has been
impossible for the owners to get the
work done, because the demand for
pavement layers is far beyond the sup
ply. There is room for one or mOrd
fTst.class pavement layers in Milford
