Heavy Storm On Sunday.

For thirty minutes last Sunday the
rain fall in this vicinity was unusually
heavy, and the sewers were taxed to
their capacity to carry of the flood,
while many streets were washed badly.
The storm came up suddenly, and was
accompanied by a severe electric dis
turbance. While the storm was at It's
height lightning struck one OF the
chimuevs on the large residence OF DR..
Frank l.. Grier on Lake View avenue.
Fortunately the family were 10 another
mart of the house at the time and no
one was injured. A tree and a small
house in South Milford were also struck,
both being shattered but not set on tire.
The corn fields were fiattened by the
high winds, so that fodder saving viii
be a difficult job indeed. Since then
the weather has been damp and heavy
with humidity. The farmers have
been able to finish blowing falloW
Ground for wheat since the heavy rain
fall but the tomatoes have ripened
faster than ever, and this week has
seen the heaviest delivery Of that vege-
table Of the season. One good result
of the rainfall was the flushing OF
the headwaters Of the Mispillion,
which had become so completely sat
urated with the sour tomato refuse
that it smelled unto heaven but since
then the conditions have been better.

THE conviction and sentencing
to two years and one-half in the
workhouse of Horace G. Rettew,
delinquent collector Of taxes OF New
Castle county, has marked the be-
ginning of new era, and the end
of an old custom of graft which
grew up under the old democratic
administrations of former years.
Rettew collected and spent the peo-
pies money, and now his bondsmen
have to make good, while he serves
as a felon in the workhouse. There
is no reason why the public business
should be conducted so that the
peoples money may be kept oryears
in a collectors hands, at the same
time causing Inconvenience to the
public, while the official is subject
ed to undue temptation to speculate
with that which belongs not to him
This was the cause for this partlcu'
lar downfall, All taxes should be
collected within the year in which
they are laid, and promptly PAID
over to the treasury. la

WHEN Wilmington arouses IRON
her Van Wrinkle sleep of ages, and
reaches out for the trade OF this
Peninsula, or at least that part oft
which passes up and down the Della
ware River in boats, she will real
ize that the other fellow is willing
to do business with Wilmington,
but not at the sacrifice Of time
and convenience. Without a river
front wharfage, Wilmington will
never get that trade which is her
shate. The river trade from Della
ware is growing faster than any
other line, and we hope that our
onlvcity will awake 20 the necessity
of sharing this trade with Philadel-
phia, by building a road to the Del
aware and wharves for the conyen-
lent handling of freight. We are
willing to help the effort along, but
the people of Wilmington must help
themselves by doing things. Il
Wilmington had more business or
sanitation, and less political organ
ization, she would have more pros
perity.
