GOSSIP CONCERNING TROLLEY LINES.
Promoters are Still at Work With the View
Of Making Several Important Extensions
Down the Peninsua-TrOIIeyt to Smyrna.

Promoters are busily engaged at
present in securing options on the
right of way for several trolley lines.
All of them are to bring the people
from thickly settled country districts
to Wilmington. There is now a move
ment on foot to have line built from
Augustine Park to Delaware City.
This line would connect with the Will
mington, New Castle and Southern
Railway. The tracks of the latter
company are laid to Delaware City.
Owners of property between Port
Penn and Delaware City are in favor
of granting the right of way free of
charge provided the road IS built. The
Middletown and Odessa railway is in
operation and surveys have been made
between Delaware City and Odessa in
order that road may be built con-
Meeting the two lines. In addition to
this surveys have been made from Mid :
dletown to Townsend, Smyrna and
Clayton with a view of extending q
line to Dover, if the trolley ever gets
down as far as Smyrna. An lnde.
pendent move is also being made tc
build a trolley from Clayton to Wood.
land Beach. These proposed lines
would be powerful feeder as the peo
pie from Earleville, Warwick, Galena
Townsend, Clayton, Dover, Woodland
Beach, Middletown, Mt. Pleasant
Odessa, McDonough and st. Georges
would be patrons of the line, and val
liable in a business way to Whining
ton. Should the road from Whining
ton to Elkton be built for the trade o
a dozen towns another territory will b
opened up. It is now understood tina
another road Will be built from Elktol
to Ocean City, passing through Chesa
peake City, Cecilton, Chestertown
Centreville, Easton, Cambridge, Prin
cess Anne, Salisbury, Berlin and Sno'
Hill.

LOCATING THE DOyER CHECK FRAUDS
Two or Three Suspects Placed Under SurYeiI.
lance and May Be Prosecuted,

Private detectives employed by Dover
business men to run down the women
who worked various merchants at Do
yer last month with bogus checks have
evidently placed under surveillance
two or three suspects. John Behen,
Jr., one of the merchants who gave up
good money for a worthless check, was
called to the telephone by one of the
detectives Friday, and voice presum-
ably that of one of the detectives whom
he knows, called to him that the guilty
persons were now known and offered
full reimbursements to those they had
wronged. They urged that because of
their sex they not be prosecuted, so
the person talking to Mr.. Beben con-
tended. 'Oh, what has the small
amount of money to do with it?' re-
torted the Dover merchant. ''That's
not it at all. Go ahead and prosecute. "
Mr.. Behen added later that, for the
safety of the community, the prosecu-
tions would be pressed by the Dover
men. Eighty per cent of our business is
done by checks. We are obliged fol
the accommodation of our rural popula
ton who are engaged in furnishing
things to the city markets, to cast
from 5000 to $500 each week in each oi
the large stores, and business canno
be broken down to detriment of people
who must take their pay in checks"

REV. DR.. WATT TAKES FULL CHARGE AGAIN
Took Up His Pulpit Work on Sunday and
Preached Two Vigorous Sermons.

Sunday morning for the first time
since he was taken ill, Rev. Robert
Watt pastor of Asbury church occupied
the pulpit and took full charge of SER
vices. To an attentive and apprecia-
tive congregation he preached a
scholarly sermon on "The Pre-emin-
ence of Christ. The sermon which
has been most faYorably commented
upon was characterized by the Doctors
old time vigor and earnestness which
had lost none of its force in the weeks
of absence from his pulpit. His con-
gregation seemed glad to hear his
voice again and to sit under his learned
pulpit discussions. Preparation is
nov being made for the annual Sab
bath school reunion which will be held
the first Sunday in October and it is
the intention of those who have the
matter in. charge to give an excellent
program. When cooler weather sets

CANNING INDUSTRIES WILL
HAVE SHORT SEASONS RUN
FACTORIES RESUMED OPERATION LAST
WEEK WITH PROSPECT OF HALF APAcK.

Owing TO Condition of Canned Goods Market,
Acreage In This Vicinity VIII be a Third
Less Than Last Year-PfOspect Brighter.
The canning season opened in this
vicinity last week with every indication |
of being a short but busy one. Owing
to the over supply of the canned goods |
market, canning houses in this vicinity
did not contract last spring as largely
for tomatoes and as consequence the
acreage is fully third less than last
year. In this immediate vicinity
which includes Smyrna, Clayton,
Brenford, and the Necks, hardly more
than 900 acres have been put out in
tomatoes and of these the largest
ers are Q. II. Mattiford, Theodore
Rnnon, John W. Morris, Millard F.
aeed and Joseph Ennis. Growers are
receiving $3.50 ton for tomatoes. All
the factories in this vicinity have re-
sumed operation except the Torsch
Packing Company of Smyrna Landing
and Levin & Sons cannery at Leipsic
which have suspended for the season.
The former have just established a
large plant at Milford where they have
gone into the canning business on a
larger scale. Hoffeeker's cannery op-
ened the season Saturday with a short
run and Monday entered upon the
work in earnest with every prospect of
very busy season. The plant, which
in the past few years has been put in
up-to-date order by the John II. Hof-
fecker Canning Company, has a cap
acity of 10000 can day. They en-
ploy all home lal and put many
thousand dollars INTO circulation in
this vicinity. With the exception of
Wright's Cannery at Brenford which
also employs home labor, all other
factories = this vicinity import Bohe-
mian help which move about in colonies
on the Peninsula and after reaping q
'harvest" leave for the cities where
they spend their earnings. The Bo-
hemian help has arrived at Bakers
Cannery, Clayton; Bayles Cannery,
Kenton; Preston's Cannery, Cheswold
and Bakers Cannery in Thoroughfar'
neck. Each of these factories have &
capacity ranging from 10, 900 to 15,00(
cans day. With the opening of tn
canning season, the canned goods mar
ket is looking up and packers are NOR
encouraged over the outlook than thel
have been for some months. Will
this seasons pack may be nearly hal
short of previous years, nevertheless
the prospect is most encouraging TO
the future and another year may fin
the business on as great boom as
was about three years ago.

TOMATO MARKET GOOD AT CHESWOLD
SCARED TO z0 Cents Basket on Monday While
the Canuery Contract Price Was Only
About l0c-DlscusslOu Among Growers

CHEswoLD, August 21:-Our ship
ping market to day was not only lively
but indeed was exciting. The tomato
is on in force and dominating the
market in spite of csnteloupes, peaches,
pears &C., that are received in more or
less quantities. Under the short crop
scare tomatoes started at % cents per
five-eight basket and before the day
was over scared to 90 cents, at the
same time many growers we're under
contract with Mr.. Frank Preston and
compelled to deliver at the Cannery for
Sc per ton or about 10 cents per basket.
Therefore the grower who is under
contract is sore over his situation while
the growers who are free to sell on the
market are naturally very jubilsnt and
a good deal of good natured fun was
the result. The contract men take
their medicine however with good
! grace and almost to man are living
up to their contract as honorable men
should. Said one 81 signed that con-
tract in presence of witness because
| I thought it the best and surest thing
for me at the time and considered we'll
before [ did it the canner's part of the
agreement. 1t turns out business
mistake like other business mistakes
of my life. Another year you bet [
sign no tomato contract" Five cars
we're loaded of tomatoes alone, besides
the other products named which was
considerable. Peaches are arriving in
such small quantities as to be almost
unmanagable and really undesirable
for buyers.

cHEswoLD MOORS IN A LAWSUIT.
Two Elements Appear for and Against Clement
Carney Accused of Wife Beating.

The settlement of Moors, a peculiar
tribe of octoroons or very light mu-
Iatto people occupying scores of small
farms between Dover, Cheswold and
Kenton, came into court Monday be-
fore Magistrate Wood, two elements
appearing for and against Clement
Carney, accused of assaulting his wife,
Annie Carney. Wife-beating in Della
ware is now a whipping-post offense
but Attorney Satterfeld, appearing
for the defendant, who is a prosperous
fruit.grower, brought out the fact that
the couple had separated nearly two
wears ago, and were not now living to-
oether as man and wife. The testi-
lnony showed that when the two met
on a public highway they Immediately
indulged in vile invectives, which were
burled at each other in precipitate
haste. The husband, who struck
twice was fined 81 and costs and the
two were each required to furnish
ba,lpieces to keep the peace. John
I,oatman became surety for the hus-
hand and Rebecca Durham for the
wife.

COyHRDALE BOYS MEET WITH ACCIDENTS.
Joseph cOverdale Suffers Loss Of Two Fiugers
and James Nearly Breaks bis Nose.

CLAYTON, August 22:-Joseph Cow
erdale of this town, brakeman on
the D. & G. Railroad, suffered the loss
of two of his fingers Monday by an ac-
cident which happened at Queen An
mes station, Maryland. With some
other men he was assisting in unload.
ing some harvesting machinery. One
of the pieces of freight was a corn
cutter and in getting it out of the car
his hand came in contact with the
knife and before he could extricate it.,
the knife severed two of his fingers at
the first joint. A Ridgely physician
was summoned and dressed the wound.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mr..
Coverdale over his misfortune. His
brother James Coverdale met with a
very painful accident down the Q. A.
& X. Division last Thursday that came
near resulting much more seriously
than it did. He was helping to load
some calves on the train when sud
denly one of the calves became un-
ruly and threw him against a post.
His head was struck an awful blow
which nearly broke his nose. His
face was badly battered leaving him in
much suffering.
