Shortly afetr arrest and before the

EIGHTEEN HOGS ROASTED
ALIVE IN DISASTROUS FIRE
ALL THE OUTBUILDINGs ON THE FARM OF
C.R. VAUGHN NEAR CHESWOLD BURNED.
Broke out Yesterday While the Family Were at
Dinner and the Onward Rush of Flames
Never Stopped Until $500 Damage Done.

CHEswo1D, Aug. 29:-While the
family of G. r. Vaughn two miles from
here on the Leipsic road were at din
ner, yesterday noon, one of them
was surprised to see smoke at the
barn. Giving the alarm they all
rushed to the spot to find the building
the finest one in the neighborhood en-
veloped in flames from which all hope
of rescue had passed. Nearly all the
farm implements aud one horse, the
only one in the stable, was with great
difficulty saved. Eighteen hogs and
shOats, which were in the pound were
unable to escape the onrush of the
flames. The building was in size BOX
SO feet embracing stable, grainery,
implement and carriage apartments, all
under one roof, with water supply and
all modern improvements and the
most comm odiOus barn in the neighbor-
hood. With the building Mr.. Vaughn
lost 80 to 40 tons of hay, 100 bushels
of wheat, harness &c. which is esti-
/
mated at $500 to $500 dollars. The
building was insured. Those first on
the spot say the fire originated at the
straw rick, which bad been blowr
while threshing within the pound
limits in close proximity to the barn
and in which hogs and cattle bedded
at will Whether the fire was started
by careless hands is not known and
so there is no clue. Mr.. Vaughan ha(
the misfortune five years ago to los
his outbuildings by fire, while threst
ing, which this one had replaced. Hi
handsome dwelling, one hundred fee
distant, on account of favorable wind
was saved. Some smaller building
were saved by the neighors.

RUNAWAY NEAR SPRUANcE CITY.
Mrs. Monte Cross Wife of Famous Baseball
Player, Her Mother of philadelphia, Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Stephenson ln Collision

Mrs. Monte Cross wife of the famous
shortstop of the Athletics of Philadel-
phia her mother Mrs. M. Bender and
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Stephenson of near
Raymond's with whom they are
visiting, were out driving Sunday
evening when they met with run
away accident which might have re-
suited much more seriously than it
did. At the time they were in front of
the residence of G. W. Baynards near
"Sprnance City" when a Dover team
containing Mr.. Jones, Miss Edith
Redman and her guest came in the
opposite direction and it being dark
both teams collided. Mr.. Jones and
his two ladies who were in york car
riage were thrown out but not injured.
The carriage was almost demolished
and the horse which broke loose was
found the next morning at Denney
Walkers, near Brenford. The team be-
longed to Moore's Livery Dover. The
only accident to the double team of
Stephenson's was a broken carriage
pole. It was very fortunate that nc
one was hurt in the frightful accident.
Mr.. Jones and the two ladies were
taken home in another team and Mr.
Stephenson and party managed to gel
in Smyrna and at Goldsborough's liv
cry stopped for repairs. They borrow

PROJECT TO BUILD JETTY At
MOUTH OF SMYRNA RIVER
PERMANENT REMOVAL OF THE SANDBAR
WOULD MEAN MUCH TO NAVIGATION.
The Cutting Of Canals and Shortening of River
Route Nearly Completed and With Another
Appropriation, River Would Excel.

The dredging in Smyrna River which |
has been much interfered with on
account of the recent wet weather
was resumed with greater activity
Monday when the dredge "Atlanta"
which had been away on another job,
returned and began work on the river
and canals. Two other dredges the
"AriZona" and the America" are at
work widening the mouth of the river.
The four canals have already been cut
and all that remains is to clean them
out more thoroughly and remove all
distractions. There is also consider
able dredging to be done in the creek.
The work would have probably been
completed by this time had it not been
for the recent continued rainy spell
which rendered the banks in such
condition that they would not hold the
mud which thrown out by the dredg-
ing machines. If the weather keeps
favorable the Smyrna River project
should be completed early next month.
The next step to be taken will be to
have ietty built at the mouth of the
creek so as to obliterate the formation
of the sandbar which has been the
source of much annoyance to Smyrna
River navigation. Such a project
while it would necessitute the expendi-
ture of several thousand dollars
would mean much to the fruit growers
of this vicinity, for by removing the
sandbar, boats would be able to leave
on regular schedule time without any
interference in getting in and out the
river. An effort will be made by
prominent Smyrna citizens to get al
appropriation from Congress for thi
purpose. With the sandbar removed
and few more canals cut from ''Brick
store Landing" to the mouth, no creel
or river on the Delaware Bay shor
would offer better advantages thal
Smyrna River.

TOMATOES BRING HIGH PRICES AT KENTON
Market Gets as High as Thlrty-flve Cents Bas-
ket the Past Week and Caused Much Regret

KENToN, August 29:-The tomato
market is the much talked of question
among growers of this vicinity. At
the railroad station the past week
prices were ranging as high as 35c a
basket. The condition of the market,
has caused some dissatisfaction and
sore regrets among those growers who
contracted with the canneries, and
those who have become more dis
gruntled think that the local factories
will have a harder time to contract
another year than they have had for
sometime past. The difference be-
tween the contract price which is about
10c and the highest market price 35c,
sets many farmers to thinking although
there are some conservative growers
who feel that the time may come whs2
they might be glad they contracted
and were sure of a market for their
crops for the "shoe does not pinch
half so hard when its on the ''other

Department Authorizes This For Accuracy 10
In Handling MaiI-BOxes Painted Green.
To facilitate a more accurate hand
ling of Mail by rural free delivery
carriers, the Postoffice Department Is
arranging for the numbering of rural
boxes. The delivery of ordinary mail
matter of all classes addressed to boxes
by number alone will be authorized as
is now permitted in the case of post
Office boxes, so long as improper and
unlawful business is not conducted.
The Postmater- general has also con-
sented to have all the mail boxes
painted green at the expense of the
United State Postofice Department.
Postmaster General Cortelyou di-
rected the issuance of a new form of
money order, which, it is believed will
be proof against adulteration at the
hands of the forgers. The department
has been greatly annoyed by the opera
tion of persons who purchase money
orders for small amounts and raise
them, passing them on merchants after
Office hours. Although the direct loss
falls entirely on those who accept the
orders of the department refusing to
cash them except as originally drawn,
there has been a heavy indirect ex-
pense involved in the pursuit, arrest
and conviction of the offenders. The
form adopted will be issued as soon as
the new plates can be prepared and
other necessary preliminaries can be
made:

CHeswOLO PASTORS FAMILY STRICKEN.
Two Daughters of Rev. A. W. GOOdhaud Down
With Typhoid and Disease Spreads.

CHEswoLD, Aug. 28:-What the med
ical profession terms typhoid malaria,
has three victims among us under un-
usal circumstances. Four weeks since
little Margaret Goodhand was seized
with this disease and for a time her
case was critical indeed, but under DR..
Moneys treatment, she is about again.
Last week her older sister, Miss May,
was stricken with it, as was also Miss
Lottie Vaughn, daughter of Joseph
Vaughn, near Cheswold, who was a
guest at the parsonage during little
Margaret's illness. Miss Vaughn is also
very ill. In the medical profession
this disease is not classed among the
contagious, but somtimes it will go
through families, supposed to be trans
mitted by drinking water from the
same glass. DIR. Money has been very
skillful in treating the case.
