Peaches Plentiful

Reports from the different fruit pro-
ducing sections indicate the largest crop
oil peaches for many seasons. 1t is true
that southern Maryland and Delaware,
which have in past served the market
with a generous supply of fine peaches,
have poor crops this year, but Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia and western Mary
land have the largest they have had for
many seasons, and the fruit promises to
be of finer quality than usual.
New Jersey has the largest crop even
produced in the State, and New York,
which seldom produces more than
enough for home consumption, will ship
from $500 to $500 carloads. Connecti-
cut has a bumper crop, as have Ohio and
Michigan. Colorado has the greatest
fruit crop the State has ever produced.
1t is estimated that California will ship
$500 carloads of fine fruit. Idaho, Utah
and California will all put large lots of
peaches on the eastern markets.
There was a glut in the peach market
In Mlllville, Tuesday, and prices fell
from 80 cents and a dollar a basket to
40 and so cents.
While the above report is from other
places, at Penn's Grove peaches are scarce
being worth from 81. 25 to 81. rs a bask-

TENDERFoOT BURGLAR ROUTED.
Robber Failed to Annex Cash Within

a large sum of money he had in his
safe. The would-be robber was evil
IDENTIFY tenderfo0t with little expert
ence, Judging from his failure after
breaking into the saloon. To be pre-
pared to cash checks for Iron Noun
tain employees after the pay car had
passed through, Mr. Goodwin had
drawn large sum of money from the
bank. About $4,000 was placed in his
safe, and he left about 500 in his
pockets. He did not turn the combi-
nation on his safe, merely closing the
door, After closing the saloon at MD
night, he remained inside, and soon
fell asleep on a counter with a pistol
On each side of him. Presumably be-
tween 2 and 3 o'clock the rear door
Of the saloon was forced, the burglar
using large file and a small piece
OF wood. The burglar crept up on
Mr.. Goodwin while he was still asleep
and took both of the pistols he had
by his side, after which he went to
the safe and opened it. How long he
worked there no one knows, or what
frightened him away. The money
drawer showed signs of the attempt
to open it. The burglar was evident
~ an amateur, for with ali the wea-
poas in his possession he could have
iorcid Mr.. Goodwin to open the safe.
the $500 in cash in Mr.. Goodwins
pocket was not touched, his only loss
being the two revolvers.
