To Save Fraunces, Tavern.
m the New York Mail and Express.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Where Washington said farewell to his
generals when he laid down the chief COM
mand of the army and resumed the long
desired position of a private citizen should
be one of the most precious places OF revo-
lutionary times. There are only ore or two
buildings in this city older than Frances
Tavern, and that fact alone should make
the house sacred; but when besides is an
tiquity it has the added claim to respect
that in it's 'long room" the first American
babe his officers goodbye its right to pres
ervation cannot be gainsaid.
The old tavern had fallen upon evil days.
and its very existence seemed threatened,
when the Woman's Auxiliary of the Ameri-
can Scenic and Historic Preservation So
ciety began work to preserve it. A year
ago Mayor Low signed an ordinance pro-
tecting the tavern. and the women thought
their efforts were ended successfully. The

THOROUGHFARE NECK.
Continued Wet Weather a Great Menace to
Farmers and Fruit 0rOwers-ImprOve.

Al Correspondence to the TIMES.

Special Correspondence to the TINES.
THORoUGHFARE NECK, July 26.-
Our farmers are becoming uneasy
about the continued wet weather.
The greater part of the wheat crop is
still in the shock, the owners being
unable to stack or thresh it and it is
feared that unless the present bad
weather soon abates much damage
will result. Early fruit, especially
plums, is showing the effects of damp
weather and are much affected with
rot, which is more noticeable on the
varieties known as Vixen and Bur
bank.
Early peaches are selling at from 35
to 40 cents per bushel basket, and
plums from % to 80 cents per 10. pound
basket.
The wellknown farm in tenure by
Mr.. B. r. Severson, situated near
Collins Beach and owned by Miss
Margaret Collins OF Smyrna, has been
receiving many improvements the past
few months. A model tenant house
containing four rooms, has just been
completed by Mr.. j. H. Stats of Tay-
lor's Bridge. 1t will be occupied by
Aaron Archey, one of the most honor
able and highly respected colored men
in this vicinity, who has a record of
living with one family for 80 years.
The tenant house and magnificent
farm house have just received a fresh
coat of paint by Mr.. J. c. Mannerlng
of Smyrna, which adds much to the
general appearance of the farm.
Patrons of r. F. d. No. 3, which is
80 miles long and serves the greater
part of Thoroughfare Neck, regret the
loss of the convenience of having the
daily papers served to them by the
popular mail man Ben Hutchinson.
Since the proposed increase in their
salary rural carriers are not allowed to
serve customers along their routes
with papers Ben's customers didn't
have to bother their heads about sub
scribing for papers ETC., they were
served every day and. he was paid
monthly or quarterly or any old time
at all it was all the same to him.
Inclement weather prevented services
being held at Friendship Church Sun
day last. A royal good time is antici-
pated Thursday when the annual pic
mic and excursion to Brandywine
Springs takes place via Steamer Brady
to Wilmington and thence by trollyt to

CHEswoLD, July 25.-During one of
the late thunder storms lightning
struck in Mr.. Howard Garrison's to-
mato patch, only short distance out
side of our town limits, and the place
is now plainly marked by withered or
bllghted plants embracing a circle tax
ing in about one hundl ed plants. Mr..
Garrison doubtless congratulates him
self on so fortunate an escape of his
home, family and farm stock.
The continued and greater downpour
of rain Sunday and Monday is adding
more encouragement to farmers, but
more hope for millers who had low
water in their ponds. Threshing is
not yet through and indeed there is
scarcely farmer who is not affected
by too much rain. Fruits are likely
to rot more or less on the trees and
cautalOupes are likely to lose their
flavor as they did last year. Apples
pears, peaches, plums, etc., were in
large supply loaded in cars along our
siding to-day. Owing to the tendency
to rot on the trees from wet weather,
much fruit is gathered in a greener
state than it should be. In the three
bright days of last week threshing was
pushed along at the same time wagons
ratified on the highway delivering
wheat for market.

DESPERATE NEGRO ARRESTED AT CLAYTON
Charles Cannon Apprehended by Detective Hut.
chins For Disturbing Camp Meeting.

The perpetrators of the numerous
riots at the various negro camp meet
lngs throughout the State have al
ready gotten down to business, but
their escape from punishment was
nlpped IN the bud by the clever work
OF the State and county officials.
Charles Cannon and William Harmon,
the latter of Maryland, were the first
OF the seasons offenders, and thew
chose the camp meeting at Millsboro.
near Georgetown, as their point of at
tack. The two men visited the camp
meeting, and, becoming engaged in a
quarrel with some other negroes
which stirred up the whole camp.
The visitors made every effort to Sc
cure one of the women to accompany
them from the camp, and when she
screamed for help, all the men present
rushed at the intruders and drove
them from the grounds.
Sheriff Steele of Sussex county at
once set out for the prisoners, who
succeeded in eluding him. He learned
however, that they had boarded the
rain at Lewes for Philadelphia. AS
1T was then too late to follow the men.
Sheriff Steele wired to Sheriff Melvin
of Kent county to arrest the men as
they passed through Dover. He ar
rested Harmon at Dover, but the de-
scription of Cannon was not sufficient
to warrant the arrest of the man.
Later the Sheriff telegraphed to De.
tective N. II. Hutchins of the Della
ware Railroad, to arrest Cannon at
Clayton. Detective Hutchins, al
though a powerful man, had consider
able trouble to capture his prisoner.
who at first refused to go with him.
He finally succeeded in pulling the
refractory negro from the car and
took him to Dover. Sheriff Steele
arrived later, and took the two men
back to Sussex county, and they will
be given hearing at Millsbero.
