Cleveland, Ohio, Philadelphia and
Delaware. The ceremony was per.
formed by Bishop Coleman, and was
followed by a wedding breakfast.
The Erben home was beautifully de

TROLLEY MATTERS PROGRESSING SLOWLY
Much Delay Experienced IN Getting a Private
Right of Way Through New Castle County.

Mr.. J. w. Endean returned from
New York on Friday last, where he
went to have a conference with the
representative of the British Syndicate
who are going to finance the through
state line. At the interview they ex-
pressed their regret that the farm land
owners were not granting the right of
way through New Castle County on
the State Road as readily as they an
ticipated, and they trusted that these
gentlemen would see the necessity of
their cooperation in this regard, as
without the right of way being all
secured beforehand it was utterly i'm
possible for operation to commence.
1t was most essential point that no
hold up in this regard should be al
lowed to take place after construction
was once under way. The company
has 10 desire to resort to their rights
under the power of eminent domain,
and condemn the land in question.
They therefore trust that the necessary
rights of way will be granted at the
earliest possible moment so that con-
struction may be started. The fnan-
ciers are anxious to push matters along
so as to have the line completed within
year, and Mr.. Endean is striving to
that end, and it would be great pity
if the delays caused which are out of
their control should be the, means of
delaying construction work during the
fine weather.

A very important and beneficial law
in relation to special delivery letters,
enacted at the recent session of Con-
gress, became operative last Monday,
July lst. Heretofore, in order to Sc
cure the privilege of special delivery,
it was necessary to attach to the mail
package Especial delivery stamp. FIRE.
quently persons were put to trouble
and delay by lack of possession of the
special delivery stamp, even when they
had plenty of stamps of the ordinary
variety. Under the new law, special
delivery stamps, although they may be
used as heretofore, are no longer
necessary. Ten cents worth of the
ordinary stamps, in addition to the
regular postage, will do as well. All
that is necessary to be done is to at
tach these additional regular stamps
to the package and write under them
the words Especial delivery" Letters
so treated will then be delivered at
their destination by special delivery

FRUIT CONDITIONS ALMOST A FAILURE.
Berry Crops Short, Apples and Plums Almost
Failure and Peaches Only A Fourth Crop

Failure and Peaches Only POnrtha Crop
CHEswOLD, July 1:-Our fruit buy
ers were surprised to-day in having
eleven crates of strawberries come on
the market. That this fruit should get
so far astray of its ripening time, July
first, is almost remarkable. But our
fruit growers and our fruit buyers have
settled down to the fact that 1907 is to
be, in its full sense, an all around stray
year. Normally apples should be now
shipping in fair quantities as also
raspberries and blackberries. Apples
are almost failure. The blackberries
promises crop but two or three weeks
late. Plums are also q failure and the
peach crop has now narrowed down to
one fourth of a crop. With this condi-
ton Of facts the luscious peach, they
reason, will be King of all fruits in
this vicinity this year.
