The motive power of the Delaware
division of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has been increased by the ad-
dition of another of the big locomotives
known as the E 2 A type. The engine
has four driving wheels with trailers

truck. This type of locomotive is the
largest used on the Pennsylvania lines.
They are used on all the divisions of the
company except the Maryland division.
The signs of muskrat architectural ac-
Movements can now be seen on the
marshes. They are now preparing for the
winter, and the trapper watches their
work with considerable interest, and pre-
diets a good season. The furs will no
doubt bring a good price again this year.
Fur buyers claim that the Russian army
for fur is the cause of the good prices.
Japan will no doubt have corner on the
fur market in the near future.

under the auspices of the Primary De-
partment of Bethesda NJ. E.Sunday School
was success. The program was well
rendered, Mother Goose and her family
taking their parts admirably. Misses

in charge to pay off the amount still due
on their organ, and also to purchase some
new singing books for that department.
The ladies extend thanks to all who so
rendered their assistance in
helping to make this entertainment a
success.
Some capitalists are to 60 over the
territory between Delaware City and
Odessa next week, with view to consid-
sring a proposition to build a trolley
road connecting the Wilmington, New
Castle & Southern and Middletown &
Odessa roads. Just when this road is to
be built is not known. In fact, no def
1ite arrangements have been made as
yet, but it is belived this will mark the
beginning of definite movement
either of the companies men, s
Toned is interested could not be ascer-
aimed. With this link in operation,
liter the completion of the Middletown
( Cecilton road, Cecil county would have
with Wilmington and Phila- :
lelphia, by trolley, via the Delaware
Jity route.
The general reports from all over the
ounty are very gratifying about the corn
rop. The average state Of the weather
Turing the summer has certainly been !;
avorable to its growth. During the
arlier and critical growth period of the :
eason there was an abundance of mois-
ure and a GOODNESS in temperature which
'ermitted the plant to get good, vigor-
us start. As consequence, the yield,
= far as the visible evidences would in
icate, has been exceptionally large. :,
ome of the farmers who failed to cut :
rior to the recent severe storm, have :
een handicapped somewhat by the fact :.
hat their corn was laid fiat on the ground
y the violence of the wind. The mis-
ortune, however, did not affect the con-
ition of the ear. Many who have ex- :
mined their shocks report fine, large, :,
all ears, with sound solid grain. That Z
Gems to verify the belief that the yield
'ill be materially above the average :.
here are some cases reported of where : :
he fodder seems to be superabundant, .
Iithout commensurate development Of !,
be ear. These cases are exceptional,
owever, and will play but small part
, making up the general average of the : :,
ears yield. =
