COUNCIL TO ENFORCE BOTH
PENALTIES OF MUzzLE LAW
OWNERS SUBJECT TO A FINE OF
ONE DOLLAR AND COSTS.
Killing of Stray Dogs Does Not An
swer the Purpose and a More Rig
id enforcement May Be Made.

At regular meeting of the Smyr-
ma Town Council held Friday even
ing, Councilman John C. Stockly ad-
vocated more rigid enforcement of
the dog ordnance in that he wanted
both penalties of the ordinance i'm
posed, where the law was violated.
Heretofore all dogs found unmuzzled
running at large on the streets and
alleys of Smyrna were subject to
Officer Cummins gun and liable to be
killed. Now Mr.. Stockly wants the
Sl.OO fine and costs imposed. In this
case all dogs seen running at large
without muzzle, the owner of said
dog, if known, can be fined which
with the cost would amount to about
81. in all. If both ends of the
law are strictly enforced, Mr.. Stockly
thinks that it will have a beneficial
effect and lessen the danger of an
outbreak of hydrophobia. The sub
ject was brought up by the presen-
tation of Officer Cummins' bill for
killing thirteen dogs, 1915. While
the list contained a number of
strange ours and was duly sworn to
before the town alderman, Mr..
Stockly saw no reason why our home
dogs should not come under the same
ban, and as the discretion was left
to the town officers to either fine the
owner or kill the dog or impose both
fines, few fines would have the
effect of making owners of dogs OBJ
serve the muZzle law which is perpet-
ual throughout the year. Councilman
j. G. Robinson and other members of
the Board entertained the same view
and while no definite action was
taken, it is very probable that Alder
man Crow and the town police will
be requested to enforce the muzzle law
to the letter. When President Rev.
nolds called the meeting to order all
the members were present. Reports
from town departments all showed
progress. There was more or less dis
cussion on streets and other town
matters. Council adjourned after
allowing bills to the amount of SAL. IA.
Alderman Crow reported $5. 90 in fines
for the month of July.

REHOBOTH GASES BETTER.
Epidemic of Mild Gases of Scarlet
Fever Seriously Affects Resort.

Epidemic of Mild Gases of Scarlet
Fever Seriously Affects Resort.
There is no abatement of the fever
at Rehoboth. Several nev case have
developed in the past week, says
the Evening Journal, and there
are now about twenty cases all told
there. A week ago there were twelve
cases. Miss Margaret Postles, daugh-
ter of Mrs. F. E. Postles, of Smyrna,
who took Minqua Cottage (the Rev.
V. S. Collins property, for the
summer, has been quite sick with the
malady but is convalescing. All of
the cases are of a mild type, how
ever, and many of the patients have
almost recovered. The general belief
among the physicians attending the
Rehoboth cases is that the disease was
brought there by some of the summer
visitors. They point out that none
of the all-year-round residents of Re-
hoboth are afflicted with the disease,
and hence argue that it is not due to
sanitary conditions. The crisis in
many of the cases will be over to-day,
and after that period the physicians
contend there will be practically no
danger of contagion from the fever.
The breaking out of the fever has had
depressing effect upon the resort
and scores of persons have left there,
some temporarily and others with no
intention of returning this season.
The exodus has left its impress upon
the appearance of the board walk.
This ordinarily is the height of the
season, but none of the hotels or
boarding cottages are now filled. The
proprietors are hoping that the season
will become brisk again within a week
after the fever scare has subsidized.

MAIN STREET WORK HELD
UP ACCOUNT OF MATERIAL
BRICK NOW COMING FASTER AZ
TER SEVERAL DAYS OF DELAY.
Carapelli, An italian, Developing into
a Fast Bricklayer and Promises to
Excel the Wizard" White.

Main street work has had more or
less of setback the past week by
the slow and irregular arrival of
bricks. Despite the fact that three
carloads are shipped from the kiln in
Pennsylvania a day and are supposed
to reach here in regular order, they
are sidetracked and reach here in
irregular order. The delays caused by
this as well as by the rain has hin
dered the progress of the work. The
blocking, however, is almost finished.
A little section at the south end, near
Chestnut street, and a still larger
section between the "Four Corners"
and the Smyrna House is all that has
to be done. The concrete work was
finished last Friday and half of the
force of Italians left Smyrna to be
put on another job by the Amber,
Davis Company. There is some more
steel plate due here to finish out the
work of culvert construction, but this
will be done by the time the brick
layers reach the -Four Corners, 1"
Carmine Carapelli, one of the Italian
laborers, is developing into a very
rapid bricklayer, and his success in
this line is being recognized by the
Amber Davis Company who have
higher place for him in the service
of the Company if he can continue to
make good. Carapelli is laying brick
at the rate of 80. 900, or more, day and
is doing it nearly as fast as Charley
White, the negro bricklayer, who
was here two or three weeks ago.
The Company has another bricklayer
working on the job who was imported
here after the discharge of White.
He is also an Italian and his name
is Carl bartender. The laying of the
block will be completed this week
and by next week Superintendent
Patterson hopes co put his force of
men on the other streets which the
Town Council has selected to be ma
cadamized.

FARMERS FACE SHORT CROPS.
More or Less Anxiety Among Farmers
About CheswoId Over the Situation
Market Takes Big Slumps.

Cheswold, August 16. The rain Of
Monday was the only encouraging
feature for the beginning of the week.
The day developed a succession of
slumps to add to already existing low
prices on our siding, until low prices
was the rule for everything produced
from the soil. It's indeed a dark out
look for the farmer for the year 1909
as to low prices in the face of short
crops. Mr.. M. L. Frazier brought to
our siding to-day, IS baskets of El-
berta peaches, fine as to size and
color, which only brought him 81. 81
the basket at time when this fruit
is failure Of crop. Grapes bring
lower prices than for years. Canta-
loupes sell in New York at IS cents
to Sl.25 the crate. With the failure
of the apple crop the market for
apples is below a paying price if they
were shipped. Wheat to-day estab-
lished price here which is 81 cents
per bushel, to which if counted in
the shortage of crops would mean 65
cents per bushel for the average farm
er. And in looking around for the
cause of so much slump in the midst
of crop failure it seems to be found
in the fact of the glutted conditions
OF Eastern markets from sections as
far as California and New Mexico. In
the matter of cantaloupes, the latter
country Outclasses all the other States
in quality and gets the high prices,
So per crate. This glutted condition
of the Eastern markets, however, let
us hope may not last long. A more
general distribution of the product is
needed perhaps. Tomatoes are being
loaded in cars at Is cents the basket.

MILTON NEARLY WIPED OUT.
Big Fire Lays Waste Four Blocks and
100000 Worth of Property.

Fire that swept with startling
rapidity through part of Milton early
Friday morning laid waste Ephr
blocks and entailed a loss of between
SlOO, 900 and SIPS. 600. Friday the
thirteenth will be long remembere4 an
Milton because of the fire that ate up
about twenty-four business places and
about ten dwellings, and for awhile
threatened to wipe out many thriving
industries including big lumber yards
and packing houses. Broadkiln Greek,
which divides the northern and south
ern sections of the town, served as
barrier that prevented the finer resi-
dences, including that of the lare
Governor Ponder, from being wiped
out, and hard work by the fremen
from three towns in addition to those
of Milton, checked the progress of
confagration at the lumber yards and
canning factories several of which
were ablaze at different times.

REV. TERRYS GRANDSON DEAD.
Drowned at Salt Lake City Following
A Runaway Accident.

Rev. Thomas E. Terry of Easton,
Md, has gone to Salt Lake City.
Utah, to visit his daughter, Mrs. R.
W. Fisher, who met with an unfor-
tunate accident recently by the
drowning of her little four-year- old
son, Thomas. The doctor and mother
were out driving, accompanied by their
son, on their way to a small village,
when the accident occurred. The horses
became frightened and baked, turn
ing the buggy over, throwing all
three into the creek. The body of
little Thomas was washed down the
stream for some distance and it was
impossible to reach it before life
was extinct. Every effort t o revive
spark of life was in vain when the
little body was taken out of the
water. The members of the family
are stricken with grief and they
have the deepest sympathy of their
many friends in Dover where Mrs.
Fisher lived when her father #as
pastor of Wesley Church.
