Trolley Line to Bethany Beach.

A lawyer of the State Of Delaware has
been authorized by Pittsbulg Com
pany to frame u charter for a trolley
line leading from Selbyville by way OF
BishopvilIe, Williamsville, Millville'
Ocean View and on to Bethany Beach.
This summer resort is now in its in
fancy but promi, es to be ore of note in
the near future, as there are great
many Pennsylvanians who are making
great efforts to nush it to the front.
The trolley lire will be Of great ad-
vantage to the section Of the country
that it is proposed to pass through,
which is a vast reach Of fine land and
a beautiful country deprived OF any
railroad advantages whatever. This
proposed line will not do the Pennsyl-
wanna Railroad any damage but on the
other hand be a feeder to it. An esti'
mate of the cost of the trolley line has
already been, made.

fantry. N. g. n, last Monday evening.
Eolonel Cavenaugh made the first real
Inspection Of the company that has
Been made by any officer in the past
= twenty years, and his criticisms OF the
hort comings were not made in the
+ manner Of super cillious officer look
Ibg for faults, but rather that they
q might be helpful and enable thesoldieFs
d to guard against their repetition. He
s was pleased with the company so far
= al It measured up to merit and did not
hesitate to say so.
The original members OF the COM
pany, those who helped to organize 1t
q twenty-five years ago, who are living
about here, were seated on the stage
and witnessed the ceremonies. Not
withstanding the weather and the dis
fance some members live from the town,
there were only eight members absent.
After the inspection the entire COM
nand with the old members and few
invited guests marched to the hand
somely trimmed dining hall of the
Windsor Hotel where banquet was
i served. Fifty sat at the table and par

What Of the Peach Crop?

From the various sections where
peaches are grown later reports are
coming that are more cheering than
the doleful wall that went forth last
week, and there appears to be a
general concensus of opinion that
while some buds are blasted, there
are many, fully sixty per cent. of
the buds in good condition; more
than sufficient to make full peach
crop, should no further accident
befall them.
From the orchard of Charles Pos
ties, four miles north of Milford,
we examined branches from fully
twenty specimens, and found the
above statement fairly the approxi-
mate for the buds on the branches.
From other points reports similar
are coming and, as we stated last
week, unless lower temperature
than has prevailed this winter, or
late frosts in the spring prevents,
there will be comfortable flow Of
money toward Delaware next Aug
ust from the peach crop.

Taking Stock in Steamboat Line.

Notwithstanding the bad weather.
which prevents the committee fTom
getting around through the country to
interview the farmers, two hundred and
sixtv.five shares of the stock for the
new steamboat line between Milford
and Philadelphia we're subscribed for
up to last Saturday. The limit for any
one subscription is placed at twenty
shares, and there are several who would
like to double their subscription. The
weather has prevented mary farmers
from getting into town and taking
stock but an opportunity will be given
them to get part of the investment.
If there is even one farmer who will
not be benefited by a boat line from
Milford to Philadelphia, we would like
TO know his name, and what he pro-
duces. In less than five years after the
boat IS in operation, the stock will sell
at premidm of from ten to twenty five
per cent, and it will be sure winner
even if it is desired to sell out at that
