WILL TRY TO SETTLE TROUBLE
President Weber Of the Federation Of
Musicians Visits Wilmington.

President Joseph Weber Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians was in Will
mington yesterday endeavoring to bring
about a settlement Of the contention ex-
listing among members Of the local lodge.
About six weeks ago the convention was
held at Detroit, and the local lodge was
represented by Samuel 7. Compton. After
the convention had closed Mr.. Compton
returned 70 this city, bringing a copy OF
the new resolutions passed.
Since their posting on the bulletin
board in the rooms Of the lodge trouble
has resulted. Some members charge other
members with not living up to the Detroit
convention bylaws. Those opposing the
new order of rules would MT give into
those wishing TO carry out the instruc-
tions OF the national body.
Secretary Compton wrote to President
Weber. who was present at the meeting
yesterday. President Weber endeavored
to bring about a settlement, but deferred
definite action until August 6.

WHEAT YIELD NOT LARGE
Twenty Bushels to the Acre Was the
Average Around Lewss.

Special to The Evening Journal.
Lewes, July 17.-Wheat threshing Is all
over in this section. The yield was hardly
up to the average. On the whole twenty
bushels 10 the acre was considered very
good. George w. Robinson on a farm Just
at the edge of town had the prize yield on
a small acreage. On eight acres the yield
was thirty bushels. There could not have
been more favorable weather for the har-
,vesting and threshing.
The drought, however, was detrimental
to other crops and corn was beginning to
look sallow when the condition was re-
lieved by a splendid rainfall. The clover
crop was short and a great deal Of the
new food-millet and cowpeas-is being
grown. Some farmers SOW fodder corn
with the peas in place of millet. The lat
ter is very exhaustive to the ground il is
claimed.

never so frightened In her life. She
said as soon as the real cause OF the
stoppage OF the train was discovered
the ladies in the car were in a very

High
Water.

The old Hooking took rise out
of the weather man last week that
seemed to do it good. Practically
all day Thursday heavy rains fell,
and "when Rush Creek came in, :"
the usually placid bosom of the
historic river was ruffled right
smart. The rise was nearly -
feet, said to be the largest since
1889, and certainly the largest of
recent years. Much of the ada
cent valley land was flooded from
Friday morning until Monday.
The flood came at a peculiarly in
convenient time for the farmers.
Most of the bottoms had been
ploughed for only few DAYS, and
some of the crops were not yet
planted. The soil being loose and
soft, and with practically no pro-
lection, the loss was correspond
ingly severe. Some of the heavi-
est damage was done to the gar
dens of Messrs Gompf and Voris. A
particularly fine stock of choice
carnations, belonging to the latter
was nearly ruined.
A large number of fine fish,
principally carp, that were strand
ed by the receding waters, have
afforded fine sport for citizens SO
inclined, and given boom to the
retail trade in ammunition. The
idea is to shoot at the fish when
he comes to the surface to elbow"
or "break," and then go in after
him with a pitchfork, a lasso, a
gaffhook and a large basket. 1t
is wet sport, and does not, like
Christmas, come even - once a
year.
