FOX CLUB LOSES SCENT OF REWARD.
Through the Insulting Behavior of A. S. Kunk
of Near Blackblrd, They Gave up Chase.


of Near BIackblrd, They Gave up Chase.
A. S. Kunk, of near Blackbird. is
coming in for large share of abuse
and criticism for preventing a moon
light fox chase, which was begun last
night under the most favorable aus
pices of the Smyrna Fox Club. About
ten O'Clock President Blizzard in COM
pany with Pressly Goldsborough,
David Stewart and others, with pack
of hounds went out in the direction of
Blackbird Woods in the hope of hav-
ing a nice little chase after Reynard.
The weather was favorable and every
body was in high glee. They had got
ten as far as the Armstrong Farm
when they ran foul of A. s. HUNK,
who evidently was opposed to trespass
and showed fight. In the combat there
was an lawful spill" in which the
hunting party got the worst of it. The
scent of Reynard was lost in another
''scent of more offensive proportions"
and as a consequence the dogs were
called off and the party returned home
loud in their denunciation of A. S
HUNK, yet with enough amusement
out of it to afford good joke on the
Smyrna Fox Club.

plying between Lebanon and Phila-
delphia, and which it is said, is licensed
to carry 400 passengers, might be char
tered for the occasion. The matter,
however, was left in the hands of Su-

Kenton farmer, were rewarded late
Saturday afternoon by the capture of
the men at Hangman's Neck, small
village between Odessa and Taylor's
Bridge, in New Castle county, where
they had been since Sunday with
relative of Honeys. When the detec-
tives came upon the negroes, the lat
ter fed to a swamp nearby, but after
some persuasion, they were induced to
surrender, which they did and ap-
pealed to the officers for protection,
believing they were in imminent dan
ger of their lives, after the chase given
Saturday. Without delay the State
officers took their men on the traip
Saturday. The negroes were thor
oughly frightened and still believed
they would be roughly handled il
caught by any of the Kenton crowd.
At Clayton, as the train pulled into
the station, several men who had been
informed of the capture boarded the
train and pointing out the men in Gus

reached Dover they hustled the pris

pRUIr GROWERS BANK ADDS TO SURPLUS
Declared the Usual SemI.auuual Dividend Yes .
terday aud Carried $4,000 to Surplus.

At meeting of the Board of Direo-
tors of the Fruit Growers National
Bank yesterday. the usual semi-annual
dividend of per cent. was declared
and in addition to this the Directors
voted to carry $4,000 to the surplus
fund out of the earnings of the bank.
This now raises the surplus to $25, 900,
which is half the capital stock of the
institution. When the Fruit Growers
Bank reorganized three years ago, the
surplus was only $4,000 and in this
time they have earned enough to pay
an annual dividend of s per cent, keep
up the expenses Of the institution and
have carried over to the surplus
SIS, 900, a most gratifying showing for
the business thrift of this well-known
institution.

LIGHTNING FREAKS ABOUT cHESwOLD.
During Storm Saturday Afternoon Bolt Of
Lightning Struck Windmill OF Caleb BOggs

CHEswoLD, July 1O:-During a rain
storm last Saturday which embraced
only Cheswold and immediate vicinity
it seems lightning struck C. Boggs
windmill in the rear of and close to his
dwelling. The mill being all metal the
damage sustained is but slight, some
posts being bent out of line only. The
rattling when the bolt struck however,
was alarming to his family, before they
we're aware the electric fluid was so
close to them. Besides Mr.. Boggs'
dwelling the windmill overtopped a
cluster of houses near any one of which
of the inmates might have suffered SER
iously had it not been for this fact.

Leese VIII be RemOdeIed and Many
WOuld Like New PostOfilce to be There
The Tschudy estate has sold through
the real estate agency of Cosgriff &
Reynolds their block of property sit
uated on Commerce street and Market
street consisting of the old W. George
Lees stand next to Dunn's drug store
and the properties on Market street
tenanted by Mrs. John E. Phillips five
and ten cent store, Charles W. Cole,
bakery, the residence of W. George
Lees, the building formerly used as
shop by the late j. d. Evans, together
with stables and other buildings, to
Mr. Henry d. Hartman, a prosperous
and well-to-do farmer near Smyrna.
The property was bought for invest
ment and at private terms. 1t is un-
derstood that Mr.. Hartman intends to
completely remodel the old Lees store
known for many years as the Tschudy
stand, and to make out of it modern
and up-to-date structure. Sometime
ago Postmaster Thomas Jefferson
made proposition to Mr.. Hartman
that if he would purchase the property.
tear it down and build suitable struc-
ture in it's stead, he would take a five
year lease on it and change the loca.
ton of the post Office from it's present
quarters as soon as the new building
was completed and it would doubtless
be made permanent location. For 6
long time this spot has been pointed
out as an ideal location for the post
Office and now that the Rural Free
Delivery service has become an i'm
portant department at this point, the
driveway or alley next to Dunn's drug
store would be advantageous to th,
rural carriers in that they would hav,
a back entrance to the post Office, anC
would not have to hitch their deliv er!
wagons along the street. In addition
to this, Postmaster Jefferson and hi
assistants would have larger quarter
and could fit up q model post offic,
with more conveniences. This woulC
enable more desk room, more room TO
lock boxes, and better service all tn
way around. Whether Mr.. Hartma
intends taking up with the propositio
of Mr.. Jefferson is not known, bu
there are many citizens who woul
look upon the change of location
postofice as a good one and think thel
is no place in town more central fC
such a purpose as the site just pu
chased by Mr.. Hartman.
