WATER FLOW IN WELL DAILY
 EXPECTED
Indications at St, David Are for an Early Flow of ArteSian
 Water, g
(SpeciaI to Reyiew.)


 BENSON, Aug. 4.-The flow of arte- sian water for which the residents of St. David and vicinity have been working for several weeks, is expect ed at any time now. The drill today penetrated the cement formation and is now in clay and sand which is look ed upon as a neighbor to water. Loose gravel was encountered at a ! late hour this afternoon and Cor tractor Mackey, who has the boring operatioas in charge. is confident that few days at the most will gnd heavy flow of the much desired wa ter. ... The depth attained at the close of today's work is $50 feet Of this the last 150 feet, prior to reaching the clay, sand aud gravel, was in cement. It was hardly expected that the cement stratum would be penetrated at this date, and the shallowness of it augurs for srike of he underground flow aa a depth much less than the company anticipated when operations were started.
 The company which has in hand the exploration of the substrata in the San Pedro alley is compored of ranch CTS in the valley, prominent among whom are Bishop Merrill of St. David and some Bisbee men. Ernest Ever hardy, of Bisbee. the meat dealer, is also interested in the enterprise
 which has for its object the develop
 ment of water for irrigation purposes in the valley. -ss
 San Pedro Valley residents are of
 the opinion that they have one of the
 most fertile valleys in the Territory
 and intend 10 develop it from an agri
 cultural standpoint if sufficient wate,
 can be secured. At present farming ! on a small scale is carried on by the land owners there, and some ranches are assuming the proportions of large ; farms under irrigation supplied by ] -private pumping plants.
 A large part of the hay and grair used in Bisbee comes from that sec ton and is eagerly sought by users O. the product. Great hopes are enter tGineG that with the development ot sufficient water, the San Pedro aVlley may become among the leading farm ing districts in the southwest.

WATCHING METHODIST CHURCH sTHEPLE.
Re-SIatlug and Other Repairs Going on Being
Watched With Much Curious interest

Despite the inclement weather the
workmen on the steeple of Asbury M.
Z. Church are progressing as fast as
can be expected. The stating is we'll
underway and the corners are being
protected with galvanized iron. Mon
day the scaffold was raised higher
in order to reach the weather-vane and
the sight of workmen 140 feet in the
air walking about the scaffold around
the spire seemed perilous venture to
many but to the workmen. a matter of
small importance. The weather-vane
was found badly in need of attention.
The arrow shaped Yane was found rid
died with bullet holes, supposed to
have been put there by some one with
a mauser rifle. These infractions have
somewhat unbalanced the vane and for
many years has not been true. This
instrument will be thoroughly repaired
and with the big ball will be regilded.
1t has been 81 years since anything
has been done TO it.

PROSPECT NOT BRIGHT FOR TOMATOES
Crop Badly cut by the Rain and Yield will be
Comparatively Small Short Pack Anticipated.

The canning season for tomatoes is
on in earnest now all over the PENN
sula, and it is expected that within a
few days the industry will begin to
assume large proportions, as. the early
patches are usually in full blast by the
latter part of August. The canning in
dustryis one of the greatest industries
on the Peninsula, giving employment
to large number of men, women and
children, and circulating hundreds of
thousands of dollars during the season.
Almost every branch of business bene-
fits from it. The prospects this year
are by no means bright; the crop has
been badly cut off by the wet weather,
and it is believed that the general
yield will not be more than half of
what it should be. Rain after rain
has fallen upon the plants, preventing
their being worked when they needed
it most. What the result of the sea-
sons pack will be no one knows, but
all are certain that the pack will be
short.

SATURDAY NIGHT ROWS BOTHERSOME
Talk OF State Constable to QuelI Negro Riots
That Are Occurring Down the State-Stats
Treasurer RswlIns Takes a Hand.

Saturday night rowdyism has
troubled the authorities of the various
towns, and while the disorder through
out the crowded towns CT lower Della
ware was not so great and turbulent
Saturday as last week, it was sufficient
to make it necessary for q conference
In many towns over the best means for
preserving peace and good order. The
larger towns like Dover, Milford,
Georgetown and Smyrna have so far
been free from any shocking infrac-
tions Of the law, but in the smaller
towns which are overrun with laborers
farm help and factory operatives who
are urged to locate there from far and
near, cheap whiskey and impotent po-
licing both contribute to chaotic
scenes in the crowds. When State
Treasurer Il. N. Rawlins went into
the crowd at Seaford to exercise his
right as an officer of the State to aid in
the prevention of the :nfraction of its
laws, several prominent white men,
differing from him in politics endeav-
ored to turn the disorderlies upon
him. The State Treaeurer, however,
stood his ground until he got the
names of the persons, white and black,
who were melting to riot, and a num-
Der Of prosecutions will probably re-
suit. The town of Camden, though
one of the busiest in the State on Sat
urday night, having its own bank, fire
houses and other conveniences, has
not a single policeman, no capable
men being willing to risk the denting
of their heads or the smashing of their
ribs for paltry two dollars a night.
The strange negroes who congregat ate
in these towns on Saturday night and
the dissolute white men are absolutely
necessary to the commercial and agri
cultural Development of the State.
Without these hardy, rugged men the
crops, and especially the peaches and
tomatoes, the gathering of which in
the heat is back breaking and head
splitting work, could never be hsr
vested.

PASTOR ESTLIN GRANTED VACATION.
Left With His Family To-day For Philadelphia
Where They Will Take up Residence.

Rev. J. L. Estlin who recently an
nounced to his congregation that he
would sever his pastoral relations with
the Presbyterian Church OF Smyrna at
the coming meeting of tue New Castle
Presbytery, has been granted a three
weeks vacation. He is spending the
time in helping his family move to
their new residence recently purchased
at 1902 Walton Ave, Philadelphia.
The household goods have been
shipped and to-day Pastor Estlin, Mrs.
EstlIn and Miss Marie Estlin left with
the best wishes of their friends for
their new home. Pastor Estlin, after
his three weeks vacation is completed,
will come down from Philadelphia each
Sunday to hold services here and will
continue this program until relieved
of his duties by the Presbytery. The
supply for the three Sundays he is alb
sent will be arranged for by the ses-
sion.

COUNCIL MAY TAKE POLICE
DUTIES FROM TOWN HAULER
MEMBERS OF OPINION THAT COMBINED
OFFICES SHOULD BE SEPARATED.
Condition OF Streets They Say, Warrants the
Employment of 0ne Man TO Do Nothing
But Look After Them and Haul Coal.

Council did not meet Friday night
but held its session Monday night in
stead. President Reynolds and all the
members were present except Council
men Hudson and Robinson. There
was but little business transacted. All
the departments of the town reported
progress. Chairman Robinson of Street
Committee was not present but Mr..
Wright, member of Committee said that
many of those who had received notices
to repair pavements had responded
promptly. Mr.. StOckly called special
attention to the condition of cutters
on East Street between the cOlored
Odd Fellows Hall and Commere
Street and moved that the Street Com
mittee have them cleaned. 1t was so
ordered. Despite the fact that Street
Chairman Robinson is reported to
have said that our streets never were
in better condition than they are at
present, after the meeting there was
an informal talk among some of the
members over the condition of the
streets, especially Commerce Street
which is being complained of as rough
and miserable. 1t was the opinion
that the section which was formerly
stone ballasted should receive some at
tentiOn at the hands of the Council,
the streets graded and the crossings
raised to grade. This subject led up
to the duties of the Street Supervisor
and there seemed to be a sentiment
that Council might do well to divorce
the present Office of Chief of P Police
from that of Street Supervisor and
make the offices separate and distinct.
The Town is now paying $50. 90 a
month for the combined offices which,
with the fees of the police office and
feeding of prisoners etc.. amounts to
near 81, ,050.00 year. 1t was contended
that Street Supervisor with nothing
else to do but haul coal for the plant,
look after the streets and cutters, and
keep the crossings clean in muddy
weather, would have all he could do to
do the work properly. A policeman
could then be elected to look solely af-
ter the order of the town, make syste.
matic patrols, and see that our town
ordinances are enforced. There seemed
to be more or less dissatisfaction over
the present method and it is probable
the Council will take some action in the
near future.
The report was made that Officer
Joseph r. Cummins, who had been
quiet for month or more had resumed
the work of exterminating CANNES
again. Monday morning he started
out early and killed several. This ac-
tion was pleasing to Council who de.
sired to have the law enforced. Coun.
Gilman Stockly suggested that more
ordinances be posted and the people
notified that the ordinance, now a per.
petusl one, must be respected. Prssi
pent Reynolds said he would notify
the Alderman to have the notices
posted again in conspicuous places.
Bills to the amount of $1,372 06 were
allowed.

ANTHRAX CASES CAUSING ANXIETY.
Epidemic Seems to Be Confined to LeipsIc Dis.

Farmers have Suffered Great Loss
The outbreak of anthrax which
started near Leipsic on July 4 is now
the talk OF the community. There have
been several outbreaks in Thorough
fare Neck but the epidemic seems to
rage IN RaymOnds and Dutch Neck
where some farmers have lost all thew
had. DR.. j. r. Kuhns and DR.. Frank
Gardner, the veterinarians smploved
IN this section to aid the State Board
OF Agriculture in stamping out anthrax
report that 9, Recommendations of horses
and cattle have been made on the bay-
shore farms and there have been but
fourteen deaths of inoculated stock.
probably from the result of spoiled
virus. While the authorities have the
disease under full control, Governor
Lea, who has unlimited power in the
matter, may be called upon to throw
quarantine over one district in which
there are several farmers who will not
respond to the admonitions of the
authorities. The Dover Dslawareaa
says: So many of the farmers have
neglected to have their stock vacci-
mated that the disease will con-
tinue to kill animals for a month
or two more. 1t is not spreading
at this time except along the road
from Cowgill's Corner towards Dover.
Some of the stock owners along that
road and along the north road from
Little Creek, have been criminally
careless in allowing dead animals to
remain unburned until the disease has
been widely spread; and yet not half
the stock has been inoculated and is
now dying in considerable numbers.
The National Bureau of Animal In
dustry claim the only preventive to
keep the disease from spreading or to
get any benefit at all from anthrax, is
by incubation.
