SAY PEACHES
ARE RUINED
Lower Delaware Visited by
Most Disastrous
Storms

SEAFORD, July 25.-Never before in
its history has Lower Delaware been
visited by such terrific transforms as
in the past few weeks. Every day for
the last month rain has fallen and Mon
day nights and yesterdays storms
reached the climax, when over six in
ches of water fell in twelve hours.
Bridges and mill dams have been swept
away and most all crops are ruined.
All rural mail carriers abandoned their
routes. only getting short distances
from town, reporting buildings being
swept from their foundations. while
several mills had been swept into the
races by the swift torrents Of water.
All shipping of fruits and vegetables
at this station is at a standstill. as
farmers have no way Of reaching here
until the damage is repaired.
j. ]. Ross, one of the largest grow
ers of peaches in Delaware, said: "The
crop is nearly ruined and all early
peaches are rottening on the trees and
are not worth picking" Farmers claim
It to be the most disastrous season
ever experienced and many say they
will have TO mortgage their farms "a
meet their expenses.

CLEVELAND, o.. July 25.-War was
begun on the Cleveland Electric Rail-
way Company by the city this morn
ing when a force OF 500 men tore up
the tracks Of the line on Fulton street
between Lorain street and Franklin
Circle.
The force were employees OF the city
under the direction Of Mayor Johnson
and Chief of Police Keeler. John j.
Stanley. secretary OF the company was
soon on the scene after the starting OF
hostilities. The action taken is TO
make way for the cent fare trolley
company on their tracks which are ex-
pected to come down Fulton street. The
action followed notice to the Cleveland
Company over n month ago TO move its
tracks over TO the side Of Fulton road
so that the new line. which also has
"a franchise for a line there. could lay
its tracks. The company failed to obey
the city's orders.
The mayor said yesterday. while
watching the tracks torn up. that the
company would not be permitted tC
put down the same rails again as they
do not comply with the city's require
ments.
The new company is ready to put its
tracks down as soon as the city's gans
gets out Of the way. II win use only
one side OF the road and will keep tn,
old company off.

weather. While the sky was overcast with
dark and lowering clouds for the greater
part Of the day, the sun shone feebly

much to brighten things about the camp.
strong west wind swept the field all

days. Every one is now hoping the good
weather will continue for the officers and

COMPANY NOT A
SCHEME
Those Interested Say Plant
Will Be Built and City
Benefited.
REORGANIZATION OF
OLD COMPANY

With the granting Of franchise to the
Commercial Light. Heat and Power Com
pany by the Board of Street and sew.r
Commissioners the city Of Wilmington
will secure more advantages than have
been offered by any other company desir-
ing to use the city streets for any pur-
pose whatever.
The feature which has appealed to the
majority Of the city officials has been the
cash bonus which is to go to the city in
addition to the other advantages rsaped
from the company. That total payments
OF $4,000 are to be made in four equal in
stalments of Sl2,5OO each within Is months
from the granting Of the franchise.
Another substantial feature which ap-
pealed TO the commissioners was the guar
antee by the company to spend not less
than 100000 within one year upon the
building Of a gas plant.
Anthony Higgins. counsel for the COM
pany said this morning that it was a
little too soon to give out any informa-
tion as to sites chosen and the size Of
the proposed plant. He said that now that
the franchise had been granted, a re-
organization of the Commercial Light,
Heat and Power Company as originally
organized in 1904 would be held. He would
not state whether the rights Of the Conn
mercial Company would be transferred 10
the Delaware Coke and Gas Company or
TO the Brandywine Gas and Electric Com
pany, both Of whose representatives have
appeared before the department request
ing franchises.
1t is however. an assured fact that the
company holding the franchise means
business anu will be within a short time
in the position to keep all its agreements
with the city.
1t is understood that President Johnson
who voted against the granting Of the
franchise believes that the scheme is q
promc ter's bubble and that the franchise
will be used as a club to drive those who
iei.scd to consolidate some time ago into
the new company. He believes that two
Gas or electric companies. or three at anl
rate will not come into this field to cen
pete for business as It would not pay anS
sooner or later there will be another com
bination and the people will be the losers
on the other hand Commissioners Grll
and Melvin say that even should there b
combination would be compelled to as
sumo the obligations that the commercia
company agreed 10 assume in accepting
the franchise.
The conditions are the best ever OF
fered and it would be foolish to turn dow
the best that has come along.
1t was hin,ed in the board meeting yes
terday that the main opposition to grant
ing the franchise was due TO the reques
