BUYERS WAKE THE PRICES.
Condition Getting Worse for Old Po-
EatOes Constantly.

NEW YORK, May 2O.-The old potato mar
ket is where 1t was a few weeks ago, and con-
ditions are getting worse. Reports from al
over the country show that there are thous'
ands OF cars yet to be moved over ana above
what the starch factories will be able TO grind
up. There is no likelihood OF this stock ever
being consumed except for feeding purposes.
Notwithstanding the great oversuppiy OF
spuds the growers are busy getting ready TO
put in another crop, expecting the market
next year to more than recompense them for
their loss this season.
Planting Is progressing in the Aroostook
district In Maine and throughout New En-
gland, and reports from Michigan and other
potato producing states are TO the effect that
the crop will be a large one.
As to price, there is practically no market
at the present time for old pOtates except
what the buyer makes. The seller when ap-
by the prospective buyer, parleys
and asks: "Well, how much do you want to
pay ?" and nine times out OF ten the sale is
at the price offered,
HEAVY RECEIPTS OF NEW sPUDs
The arrival Of the new crop increases every
day, and each mOrHing new shipping points
are being supplied with packages prepara-
tory to getting the stock TO the market.

the meeting OF the directors having been a
failure.
The grounds were decided to the etUnion
Camp Ground Association Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church OF Delaware and Philadel-
phla, for the purpose OF conducting annual
religious services there. Three years ago the
camp was abandoned. owing to the cost OF
maintaining It and because It was said that
the camp had become, instead Ofa religious
gathering, merely social resort. Years ago,
the camp was famous for It's religious services
Then Methodists from Philadelphia, Balti

will be for the best inter ests of this

our children. This work is costing
the people a pretty round sum in
money, but we believe that the re-

that for that reason the property

THE Sussex Republican o
Georgetown pleads the baby act il
defence of its relation to the over
charging of debtors for sheriffs ad.
vertising done in the newspapers.
1t rather cumberously climbs
around the point at issue, and at
tempts to throw dust in the eyes OF
the public, by claiming that other
papers have been party to the
scheme to give the sheriffs eleven
dollars on each sale, out of the
pockets of the unfortunate debtor
whose property is sold for debt. In
justice to all, we admit that the
custom has been so long in vogue,
that it is now looked upon as right
and proper by succeeding sherifs /;
but it is not, and should be broken
up at once. and the CHRONICLE
purposes to keep at it until the
abuse is corrected.
Is a man publishing a newspaper
privileged to act as a party to a
scheme to get money for another
person, more than other individuals
We think not and, there can be no
justification for robbery of that
kind. The moral standard of any
newspaperman who stOops to meth
DDS of this kind are very low, and
the influence upon a community
through a paper conducted by one
of such standard, can be nothing
but baneful.
The Democratic sheriffs always |
paid the CHRONICLE the full rates
for all advertising done for them,
and we presume that the courts al
lowed their bills, as we never had
complaint to follow. Why should
a different course be adopted now.
As to rates for advertising in
1894, the CHRONICLE made an at
tempt to overturn the custom at
that time but by its isolated posi-
ton, and attitude of the starving
papers of Georgetown, it was not
possible to get results but we
believe that the present effort will
bring more positive action, and
place the final act of the court in
either approval or disapproval, be-
fore the people in such way, that
the system will find the ground cut
from under it.
The papers of Sussex county
have stood still for twenty years in
methods and business policy, and
they are not in position
to keep up with the times; hence
they can not compete with those
who are nearer in touch with mod
srn methods and ways Think Of
Il whole sheriff sale (nearly or ]

or three weeks for three dollars. j
Any respectable storekeeper would
,e ashamed to offer a price like e

anne time. Why should the sheriff,
7ho does nothing in the case ex- b
ept hand over the copy, receive a

lould be broken up, and we pro- II

NEW YORK. Feb. 4.-The death
of Frank Croker has brought about
reconciliation between Richard
Croker and hts wife,
Mr.. and Mrs Croker had practically
separated long before Croker took up
his residence abroad, although they
continued TO live in the same house at
5 East Seventy-fourth street. There
never has been any particularly bitter
feeling between the couple. but their
interests lay along different lines
Frank Croker was the favorite son
of his father and was a very devoted
son to his mother His death was a
terrible blow to her. There was much
conjecture when Croker arrived as to
where he would stay while in town.
He settled all this by going to Mrs.
Croker's home. He has been there
ever since. 1t was his request that
nobody bother him while he was in
New York. and his friends have left
him alone in his grief. He has been
constantly with his wife and family
during his stay and only few of his
intimate friends. like John Fox, presi-
dent of the Democratic Club. have
seen him.
