Are You Engaged?

Engaged people should remember
that, after marriage, many quarrels
can be avoided, by keeping their di-
gestions in good order with Electric
Bitters. S. A. Brown, of Benefits
vile, S. c., says: For years my
wife suffered intensely from dyspepsia,
complicated with torpid liver, until
she lost her strength and vigor, and
became mere wreck of her former
self. Then she tried Electric Bitters,
which helped her at once, and finally
made her entirely well. She is now
strong and healthy. Mcbride, drug
gist, sells and guarantees them, at

ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE. OF
GUN CAUSES AWFUL DEATH
ROBERT BLAIR, 9 YEAR OLD SON OF Mr..
AND MRS. PORTER N. BLAIR, KILLED.
Boy Who Had Beeu With his Father Shooting
Turtles Meets With Horrible Death by
the Gun Which he had Loaded.

A sad and awful accident took place
at Murphy's Mill near Clayton at noon
yesterday when little Robert Blair, the
9 year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Porter
M. Blair was shot to death by acciden-
tai discharge of a gun. 1t appears that
Mr.. Blair, his wife and his boys were all
down to the pond to see him shoot
some swapping turtles. One that he
had killed could not be reached save
by wading out to it, so laying his gun
down on the bank against a tree, he
waded out in the direction of the place
where the snapper fell over. While he
was thus engaged he saw a crow fly
over and made the remark that if he
had another shell he would take shot
at it. In the m meantime the boys, Har-
vey aged u, and Robert aged 8, had
been cleaning the gun, and Robert,
unbeknOwn to anyone else loaded it
with shell which he had brought
down in his pocket. Harvey picked
the gun up, and had just laid it against
the tree and as he had turned to leave
it, gun in some manner slipped and in
falling struck root which caused it tc
go off. Robert who was directly in from
of it received the whole discharge in hi:
face and died instantly. His face was SC
torn that he could hardly recognized

summoned but the boy was dead Ions
before he arrived. The shocking affai
has caused a great deal of sympath!
for the family. When Mr.. and Mrs
Blair moved from Nebraska here, Rob
ert was but six weeks old and had de
veloped into one of the brightest an,
most promising members of the fam
lily. Coroner Bradley was notife,
and an inquest was held this morning

SMALLESTCA OF SHAD ON RECORD
Speculation on the Part of Fishermen as to
Whether They VIII Desert the Delaware

Whether They VIII Desert the Delaware
The catch of shad the present season
bids fair to be one of the smallest on
record, and the fact is attracting gen.
eral attention. The shad of the Della
ware are noted for their excellence
above the shad caught in any other
river on the coast and should the fish
entirely desert this river, as they have
several others once noted for their
large yields, the loss will fall heavily
on hundreds who are dependent on the
catching of fish for livelihood. There
seems to be no good reason why shad
should not continue to flourish in our
river. The oil refneries at Chester
and the chemical establishments along
the Schuykill may so pollute the water
that thousands of young shad perish,
but there have been years since these
industries were established when the
catch of shad was enormous and even
this year the size of the fish caught
has been noticeable, the average
weight of the fish far exceeds that of a
few years ago, so that the fish must
thrive in some manner. The sewer
age of Philadelphia we do not believe
has much effect on the fish. The
Aquarium at New York, in which are
kept thousands of specimens of the
most delicate fish from Southern wat
ers, is fed d ally with water taken from
the water front of the city, and the
quantity of sewerage in the Hudson is
far greater than it is in the Delaware
The fish now have better chance tC
reach the spawning grounds at the
source of the river than ever before
for successive floods nave washed
away nearly all of the dams and fish
weirs that formerly hindered their fret
passage. Moreover the upper reache
of the Delaware are bordered by nat
. ural park, where a large population
will never locate and the source of tn
, stream will continue to be the purest
There is no river on the Atlantic coas
where conditions of shad culture ar
more favorable than they are in th
Della ware. We believe that the lack c
fish for Matching purposes in the pas
, few years is the cause Of the preseI
' small catch, and believe that artifcii
a Matching can restore to the river II
full Ouofo of fish
Y One of our exchanges attributes til
: resent lack to extensive fishing an
!. states that power boats and big nets
v the lower river prevent the fish frol
3 reaching their spawning grounds. Th
q absurdity of this is manifest when it
learned that the nets of today are 4
bigger than they were thirty years ag
and that the power boats simply lighte
- the labors of the fishermen and do n
increase the shad by single sha,
The nets drift with the tide, they al
not pulled up and down the river /
power boats. Shad are not caugl
like menhaden.

ence of Joseph Ii. Wright In addi-
ton to these, several new phones will

The telephone is growing in popularity
throughout the Peninsula with each

SWAPPING TURTLES IN GREAT DEMAND.
Bring -Four and Five Cents Per POund Alive in
City Markets and are Caught 10 our Greeks.

THoRoUGHFARE NECK, May 23:-
Swapping turtles are being caught in
great numbers in Blackbird and
SMYRNA creeks at present. As the
g nappers" bring four or five cents
pound alive, the turtling season is
a oftable one to those who follow
this occupation, and owing to the
scarcity of diamond back terrapin,
they are in great demand. Charles
Jones of Smyrna procured thirty-fye
diamond backs at the Smyrna river
lighthouse last week and had them on
exhibition at his fish market, in
SMYRNA, for several days. He also
had wild goose he had captured, and
some king crabs, which attracted a
great deal of attention the past week.

HAND CUT OFF IN A CORN SHELLER.

Little Roy Cole Sou Of Mr. aBd Mrs. Samuel
Cole Jr., Meets With Unfortunate Accident
Roy Cole, the Eve year old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Cole, Jr., of the
Cummins Farm, White Hall Neck,
met with an awful accident this morn
ing that will cost him the use of his
left hand. The little fellow was play
around the steam corn shelter which
was being operated by his father,
when unnoticed he ran his little hand
in the feeder. The entire hand was
cut off with the exception of the thumb.
He was brought to Smyrna and after
DIR. Messick had dressed it. he was
taken to the Delaware Hospital this af-
ternoon. 1t will be necessary to ampu-
tate his hand above the wrist. There
is much sympathy over the unfortu-
nate accident.
