Tuesday Morning.

After weeks of suffering from pare
sis, John w. Jump died at his resi-
dence on North Second Street, in Mil
ford, Del, last Tuesday merning at
s o'clock. He was aged 73 years, 4
months and 3 days, and the remains
were laid at rest in Odd Fellows Gem
etery yesterday afternoon.
For many years he was one Of the
leading merchants of Milford, and
amassed considerable property.
He was married to Miss Lydia Chase
who survives him, and from that mar
riage were born twelve children, only
two, John and Herbert, are now living.
He was a member Of Crystal Fount
Lodge, l. o. o. F., and a member of
the Avenue NJ. f. Church.
He was son of Lenard Jump and
was born and raised on his fathers farm
adjoining the village of Williamsville,
Del. He came to Milford about 1911,
and entered into General Merchandise

property, now occupied by Draper,
Davis & Co., after Mr.. FOwlers death
VIM. Pennewill, brother Of Mr.. D. G.
Pennewil of Philadelphia, went into
business with Mr.. Jump, Pennewill
soon retired, Jump used to relate that
Pennewill lost a fortune by dissolving
CO. partnership, and that their capital
was about six hundred dollars. On the
failure of George w. Buchanan Mr..
Jump removed across the street TO the
buchanan store, and there he accu-
mulated thousands of dollars. He was
quick to see his opportunity, but was
remarkably reticent Hewent to Phil
adelphia and purchased of the late
Jehu Clendaniel all the building lots
on the west side of n. Walnut Street
from near the bridge up to the late
Dempsters store and built the long row
of stores, which return a fine income.
/ Since then he has purchased other
properties up to DR.. Watsons property
When the Central Hotel was sold he
bought that property and sold it at a
large profit. He built the fine resi-
depce where he lived and died.
He seemed to be always in a good hu'
NOR and was generally beliked for his
kindly iovial disposition, in fact he
seemed to be entirely free from care
but nature so made him that he was
no trifier when business was on hand

HEAVY THUNDER STORM.
Lightning Destroys a Large Barn on the
Farm Of Mrs. LOfland.

Just at supper time on Thursday ev-
ening,a violent storm passed over Mil
ford, and caused considerable damage
1t was accompanied by high wind and
binding flashes of lightning, which fol-
lowed each other in rapid succession,
while the rain fell in binding sheets.
1t lasted only short time, and just as
the first Stacking of of the rain came,
the large new barn on the farm owned
by Mrs. Mary +. LOfland, located in
the western edge Of Milford, was seen
to be burning, as result of the light
ming striking it.. Before Doctor Lof-
land and his assistants could get to
the stables, they with the large barn
were wrapped in flames; but fortu-
nately, they were able to get all the
horses and mules out but one. The
cattle were in the field. The wheat
crop had been sold and delivered the
day before. The hay, harness, and
some machinery was burned with the
buildings.
The firemen soon had the flames con.
fined to the barn but it was soon wiped
out. The loss is about two thousand
dollars. partly covered by insurance.

Great Damage From Hail.

The storm Of last Friday afternoon
was accompanied by hail in several
localities, but the most severe damage
was done to that part of Kent county
about Barratts Chapel, where hail as
large as hen eggs fell in quantities sur
fieient TO cover the ground, and made
complete wrecks Of the corn crops.
Two hours after the storm was over,
Mr.. John Russell of Frederica, gathered
a bucketful Of hail stones on his farm
in Murderkill Neck, and took them to
Frederica. The corn looks as if it had
been beaten with piece Of cedar brush,
and the general impression is, that
there can be no recuperatiOn from the
injury. Other crops were injured, but
the worst was done to the corn. The
hail in other sections was not as heavy
and no wind came with the storm.

up through the center of the man
building, and passed down it to the

nassed out the open door in the shape
of an oval ball and exploded between
Mr.. and Mrs. Shew. who were both

Company, was sitting at a sewing ma

but no woodwas burned other than near
