by the Rev. H. A. G. Westerfeld. at
Asbury parsonage, where the bishop
and his cabinet the four presiding
elders-also will have their con-
sultatlons incident to arranging the
pastoral assignments for the ensuing
year. This is Bishop Goodsell's third
year as president of the Wilmington
Conference, he having presided at the
sessions in Grace Church. this citv
IN 1901 and 1905. This Conference
is one of the most important in
Methodism. The statistics compiled
at the last Conference session show
that Wilmington Conference has a
membership of 80, 4jO, and that the
1893 Sunday Schools have "A, 800 mem
bes. There are 1894 churches valued
at 81, 9O5, 200 and 154 parsonages
valued at $319, 700. The organization
of Conference this morning was
about as usual. All the officers were
reelected. Aside from the problem
OF electing delegates to the General
Conference, which in all likelihood is
to precipitate a vigorous contest
among the ministers and laymen, the
conference will have two other i'm
portant subjects confronting it. One
is the investigation of the charge
preferred by the Revs. E. N. Cantwell
and F. P. Shipman that the creden-
tials on which the Rev. A. w. Light
bourne was admitted into the Con-
ference from the Congregational
Church were irregular. The other is
an inquiry that is to be made into
certain actions of the Rev. F. J.
McKinsey, of Red Lion charge. Pas
tor McKinsey has given up his pas
tOral duties at the suggestion Of Pre-
siding Elder Mowbray until the Con-
ference can make an inquiry. No
charges have been preferred against
Mr.. McKinsev.

FEARFUL DREAM ALMOST
ENDS FATAL At TOWNSEND
HORACE HARMAN A L-KNOWN MILLER
CUTS HIS THROAT WITH A PENKNIHE
thought An Angry Mob Was After Him And
TO Save Himself tie u, ltis ThrOat-Ois-
covered BY His Wife DrEnos Summoned

While dreaming that a crowd was
after him to kill him, Horace l. Har-
man, aged 80 years, of near Town
send, cut mis- own throat about two
O'Clock Sunday morning, during his
sleep, to save himself, as he thought,
from a viOlint death at the hands of
a mob. He was found during the
night lying along side of his bed in
an unconscious condition by his wife.
DR.. I. A. Enos of Townsend was
called, and after working over Mr..
Harmon for several hours, succeeded
IN reviving him, and he is now on the
road to recovery. Mr.. Harmon is a
miller, and lives about one mile north
Of Townsend. He is prominent and
well-known in this section where he
has spent most of his life. He is
married and has two children. The
facts in connection with the attempt
upon his life were told by Mr.. Har-
mon, himself, as we'll as he could
remember them, after he was revived.
He could remember the vivid dream
about the mob and of his resolve to
kill himself before letting the crowd
get him. While all the details were
not clear to him, it is evident that Mr..
Harmon got up out of bed while
still asleep and secured his penknife.
Sitting on the side of the bed he
slashed his throat on both sides.
After cutting his throat, he fell on
the side of the bed to the floor. His
five year old son was sleeping in the
same bed with his father, but knew
nothing about the affair until he was
awakened by his mother. Mrs. Har-
mon happened to awake during the
night and going into the room oc-
cupied by her husband, was Mortified
by what she saw. There was blood
all over the bed covers and lying on
the floor in pool of blood, with his
throat cut almost from ear to ear,
she found her husband. DIR. Enos
found Mr.. Harmon nearly at death S
door when he arrived, from the loss of
blood. 1t was necessary to take five
stitches on one side of the throat and
three on the other. He is now much
improved and will recover.

LAWYER GOODING LEAVES CLAYTON
Financial Reverses Said to be The Cause of
His Mysterious Disappearance on March
The Third Number of Clients Lose.

William L. Gooding, Esq, a prom
inent member of the Kent County Bar,
who made his nome in Clayton, left
on Tuesday morning, March Sd, and
his whereabouts are unknown. A
week after he had gone, rumors were
atioat that Gooding, the popular at
torney, had gone wrong to the extent
OF several thousand dollars and as
these facts became verified, the shock
was great, not only to his large num-
Der Of clients, but to all who knew
him, for no man in Kent county was
held in higher esteem. 1t appears
that number have suffered by his
financial failure. Included among
these are Miss Annie VanWirt, (more
familiarly known as Miss Annie
James,, of Smyrna, who loses about
81, 600 and other moneys, and the
Jacob Bryan administrators, J. r.
Stevens and Jacob Bryan, of Clayton.
who lose more than 81, 600 which were
in Gooding's hands to be turned over
in the settlement of the estate.
Besides this there was some lodge
money and some borrowed money
belonging to other clients, the total
amount of which cannot be fully deter
mined, owing to the many diversified
interests of Mr.. Gooding's clientele.
The affair has caused much comment
in this vicinity, and sympathy is not
only extended for those who suffered
a loss, but for the latter's family.
How Mr.. Gooding met with his fnan-
cial reverses is a question that per-
pleXes those closest to him. A
genial fellow, kind hearted and
sympathetic, none suspected that he
was in financial trouble. He enioved
a lucrative practice, and was one of
the best known men in lower Della
ware. He was the unanimous choice
of the Kent county caucus for the
Democratic nomination for Congress
two years ago. Before being admit
ted to the bar in 1896, Mr.. Gooding
taught school and continued to teach
until about 1900, as principal of the
High School Of Clayton.

WOODLAND BEACH AGAIN
UP BEFORE LEVY COURT
COMMISSIONERS DISCUSS ADYISABuITY
OF REPAIRING BREAK III MARSH ROAD
J. R. Mott Proprietor of The Beach Resort
Offers 10 Bear Part of The Expense 4nd a
Committee viii Ascertain The Cost

At meeting of the Kent County
Levy Court in Dover yesterday, a
special committee was appointed to
ask for bids from dredging companies
in the matter of repairing the Wood
land Beach marsh road and to report
at the next meeting of the Levy
Court. James R. Mott, proprietor of
Woodland Beach agreed to share in
the expense of repairing the road and
if it can be repaired at a reasonable
amount, it is thought that it will be
done. Monday three members of the
Levy Court William Powell of Har-
ringtOn, William Richards of Camden
and John P. Hudson of Smyrna visited
the break in the road and discussed
the advisability of eXpending more
money on it. The matter was gone
into cautiously for the reason that
more than $50, 600 has already been
spent on the road which has been
swept to sea by the high tides. The
Levy COurtmen were impressed with
the necessity of giving the road some
attention and were assured the hearty
support and cooperation of the owners
of the Woodland Beach resort. After
specting the road the commissioners
were treated to a fish dinner bv
Mine Host" l.. P. Campbell. Com
missioner Harper has contrated for
1000 tons Of Brandywine granite, to
be delivered at Cheswold at 81. So per
ton, net, for the road between Bishops
Corner and Cheswold. The farmers
who are volunteering to do the hauling
and some of the work of foundation
digging and spreading are .lessening
the expense materially and enabling
the commissioner to purchase more
road material on his appropriation.
A stone roadbed eight to ten inches
deep on top of a we'll worked bed of
clay, is his plan. When there is a
sandy roadbed the plan is to throw Of
the sand and work up, grade and all
the clay. Then a layer of u inch
Brandywine granite is placed on.
This dressing of stone the size of
walnuts, is rolled into a depth of six
inches before the topmost dressing of
z inch stone or fine stone is placed on.
Altogether about one half mile of
the State road in the neighborhood of
Bishops Corner will be covered, Then
the work will be abandoned and
attention probably given to the Wood
land Beach Road.

"YELLOws" PLAY Havoc WITH PEACHES
Many Farmers Are Refusing to Spray For the

"Ahy FARMERS Are Refusing TO Spray For the
Scale Where ''YellOws" Are Apparent.
Spraying to kill the San Jose Scale
is probably as little entered into in
this vicinity as at any time for
several years. Many growers have
abandoned the treatment for the
reason they think it useless to fight
the scale in orchards where the yellows
have made their appearance. The
latter disease is showing itself in
considerable number of cases and
growers are beginning to fear the
same trouble which ten or more years
ago caused 50 many farmers to pull
up their orchards and use the land for
more profitable crops. In the latter
years, however, when it was thought
yellows had disappeared, young
orchards were set out and healthy
trees seemed to be the result. Since
the disease has again made its appear
ance, farmers fear a repetition of the
devastation which years ago wiped out
some of the largest orchards in the
great peach belt of Delaware. Not
withstanding this fact, should there
not be killing frost, there will be
plenty of peaches in this vicinity.

Several residents in the vicinity

into the kitchen of A. E. Jardine
and got away with the remaining por-
tion of a roast which his family had
for dinner, besides some butter and
other things. Recently Thomas NJ.
Hoyle had a similar experience and
an effort will be made to apprehend
the guilty parties. Strange to say
that in all cases, nothing was taken
but the food. No plates or silver
ware has been missing and this it is
thought is done to prevent ever
