CHEswoLD. Sept. 19:-Tomatoes are
still soaring in price on the open mar
ket ranging from 20 cents to Al cents
per basket the past week. Some have
said farm lands should go up in price,
since better paying crops than uncon-
tracted tomatoes this year, never was
known. The peach is put in the shade.
Kiefer pears are coming in and also
onions, the culture of which is quite
extensive in a district west of Ches-
void. Mr.. Harry Ross, the largest

BOLD ROBBERY COMMITTED
WHILE FAMILY WERE OUT
TWO PURSES CONTAINING S5z ST3LENFROM
MRS. LIZZIE COLLINS AND DAUGHTER
Ida WhOrtenbury, cOIOred Servant, Accused
OF Taking the Money From a Bureau
Drawer and COnceallng Empty Purses

Thursday morning last when Mrs.
Elizabeth Collins and her daughter
Miss Edith Collins we're getting ready
to make deposit at the bank, they
discovered that $52 in cash the con-
tents of two purses, had been taken
from the bureau drawer. Dismayed
at their discovery they questioned Ida
Whortenbury their colored servant
who alleged that she knew nothing
about it. A search was instituted and
all the members of the household were
on the watch for the missing money.
All this time Ida protested that she
knew nothing about it but kept on
working. The search took sudden
turn Friday night when Mr.. Valiant
one of the boarde1s, discovered two
purses in the closet of his room which
were identified as those belonging to
Mrs. Collins aud Miss Edith, but were
both empty. 1t appeared that the
deed was committed Wednesday even
ing while the Collins were ont aud no
one was in the house but Mr.. Valiant.
The room of Miss Edith Collins was
entered and the two purses belonging
to her and her mother were taken from
the bureau drawer and after pilfering
them of the money the empty purses
were thrown in Valliants room that
suspicion might be placed on him
The latter became indignant at this
implied accusation and being frln in
the belief that the theft was perpetrated
by the colored cook, he questioned her
the next morning with the threat that
If she did not return the money by
noon, he would have her arrested.
The negress still protested her in
nocence but this did dot satisfy Mr.
Valiant. While he was preparing Il
have her arrested Ida Whortentury
slipped out and made her escape. Mrs
Collins appeared before Magistrat
Cummins and swore out a warrant 70
y the colOred girls arrest and the matte
was put in the hands of State Detectiv
!, Ratledge. The latter came to Smyrn
. yesterday but up to that time had no
= succeeded in apprehending her. 1t
supposed that the colored girl took tn
S.36 train north Saturday morning fo
, , Philadelphia. The affair has cause
considerable indignation and man
hope the negress will be apprehende
and punished.

SURVEYING THE ROUTE FOR
WOODLAND BEACH TROLLEY
WORK BEING DONE BY HOMER W. COLLINS
AND CECIL FULTON, DELAWARE COLLEGE
Survey Will Consume About a Week After
Which Traction Company Proposes to
Make Application at Dover for Charter.

The survey on the Woodland Beach
trolley began this morning with Homer
w. Collins, son of Cashier Collins of
Dover and Cecil G. Fulton Jr, son of
Cecil Fulton another prominent citizen
of Dover, the engineers in charge.
The surveyors are students of Della
ware College and the work is being
done under the direction of Prof.
Robinson the head of the Engineering
Department. Monday the young men
came to Smyrna and in company with
E. FL. Click the promoter of the troll
ley, rode over the proposed route and
took notes of what was needed. They
returned to Delaware College Monday
afternoon and after laying the matter
before Prof. Robinson came down yes
terday morning with their instruments
to begin the survey. They began at
Clayton and will survey the whole
course to Woodland Beach. The work
will consume about week. When
this is completed MIR. Click with the
incorporators will make application
for charter. The latter claims the
company is sufficiently financed and
work will positively begin in about
thirty days. There is much interest
in the proposed project and all along
the line the trolley seems to be the one
topic of discussion. 1t has been almost
definitely decided that electricity will
be the motive power adopted by the
Smyrna, Kent County and Delaware
Bay Traction Company and with this
end in view there are various rumors
concerning the use of this power other
than for propelling the cars. A plan
to light the town of Clayton witt
electricity and to furnish current fol
; lighting the various amusement places
and piers at Woodland Beach is mucl
gossiped as we'll as the project to bu,
: Smyrnas electric power plant and fur
nish light for Smyrna also. 1t is hardl,
probable that Smyrna would entertain
a proposition like this atleast until th
trolley line has been built and launche,
. upon a successful venture. 1t is re
markable how many rumors are givel
rise to by the trolley project but to man
people they are of passing moment
9 The one all consuming question an
y one for which our citizens are waitin
: is the construction of the Clayton
a Smyrna aud Woodland Beach line, an
d to see it actually in operation.
