USHERS' UNION FISHING TRIP
Go to RED Buoy" Last Thursday But
Do Not Have Much Luck

A fishing party under the auspices
of Asbury Ushers' Union went out
Thursday night at Z O'Clock on Cap
tain Burris' slOop, bound for the
fishing grounds at 'Red Buoy. - The
party anchored at the mouth of Smyr-
ma river until 8 o'clock the next
morning when they set sail for the
fishing grounds. The fish must have
been aware of the approach of this
party of experts" and took their
leave. Their total catch was ID.
However, they give as a reason for
their low catch that the boat lost her
anchor and drifted off the the fishing
grounds. Charles J. Sudler lived up
to his reputation as a fisherman and
was high man with six. Not having
much luck fishing they spent the re-
mainder Of the time sailing up and
down the bay, returning about z
O'Clock Friday evening. Those who
were in the party were: Charles ].
Sudler, W. c. Mcdowell, Charles M.
Griffin, Ernest P. Collins, John E.
Phillips and Walter W Hynson.
Another party went out Tuesday
morning of last week leaving Smyr-
ma Landing at 8 a. m. and returning
the same evening about five o'clock
on William Walkers launch, going
to "Red BuOy''a and proved they we're
the real thing as fishermen by get
ting a good wetting and caught 1O2
fine trout. Those comprising the
party were Ebert Gearhart, Wash
ington. D. c.; John M. Wick, Har-
vey W. FAIRIES, Abel S. FAIRIES, Will
liam Robinson and Harvey Jones.

SECTION HAND KILLED
Cash MosleY of Cheswold, Run Over
BY Train While Asleep.

Cash Mosley, colored, aged 35
years, was killed at public road
crossing one mile south of Ches-
void. about 1115 o'clock Saturday
night, by freight extra So north.
His body was badly mangled, one
leg cut off and arm torn out. His
body was removed from tracks by
section foreman Swain and turned
over to Undertaken Pritchett at
Dover. Mosley was employed as
section hand under D. Swain, at
Cheswold. 1t is supposed he was
sitting on the track and fell asleep
as he told a companion he would
meet him near where the body was
found. When the friend arrived to
keep the engagement few minutes
late, he had TO pick Mosley up a
piece at time. The young fellow
was we'll known as a farmer and rail
road worker. The coroner is inves-
tigating, but it is believed there was
no other negligence than that of the
dead mans. Coroner Saxton's in
quest Monday afternoon on the body
of Mosley was adjourned for addi-
tional testimony, the jurors for a
time entertaining the suspicion that
Mosly, who was prosperous" Moor"
or yellow man who had a cozy home
and fine team, might have been
drugged or assaulted and put upon
the railroad track where the north
bound train that cleared Cheswold
block at lib Saturday night hal
run over him and mangled his body.
The jury found that the deceased
came to his death by being struck by
a train under circumstances to the
jury unknown.

CHESWOLD FRUIT MARKET
Monday Was Busy Day on the Sid

Monday Was a Busy Day on the Sid
ing With Peaches and Tomatoes.
Cheswold, Aug. 23.-The move
ment of various farm products to our
siding continues large daily. Of
peaches and tomatoes the situation
was such on Monday as to give un-
usual spice and interest to the mar
ket. Early in the morning tomatoes
started at Is cents the basket but
soon keen bidding put them on the
ascending scale to 40 cents and thus
they for time ran right along with
peaches as if fighting for the ascen-
dency. About noon, however, a load
of finely marked yellows as to size
and color brought so cents the bas-
ket and king peach was once more
the victor and under the existing
conditions of peaches it was felt
peaches had partially regained their
prestige of former years. The bulls
for the tomato side of the market
surely had the grit and grip and it
was decidedly the most interesting
day on our market this season.

platform saw the fatality and they
were lhorrifed. Sometime ago the
young woman attempted to end her
life by cutting her throat. She was
then committed to Farnhurst. She
stepped in front Of the train so
quickly that the engineer had no
chance to save her life. He was
almost overcome by the tragic affair.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM A FIRE

Fire at His Stable Saturday Night.

Wagon of S. j Reynolds Discovered on
Fire at His Stable Saturday Night.
A serious fire was narrowly averted
last Saturday night at the stable of
Samuel J. Reynolds, situated in the
transportation Company s lane di-
rectly in the rear Of the residence
of W. E. G. Bell. Mr.. Bell was
returning from his store about mid
night when he noticed a blaze coming
from a wagon shed adjoining Mr..
Reynolds stable. Calling John M.
Wick, the night watchman, they ran
back to the stable and with a few
buckets Of water extinguished the
fire, which proved to be a blanket
placed on the seat of the wagon and
used by the driver as a cushion. A
hole was burned in the wagon seat.
The lane where the stable is To-
Gated is frequented a great deal on
Saturday night by colored people
and some one had probably been
sitting in the wagon and dropped a
lighted match which had smouldered
in the blanket unnoticed. A gate
will be placed at the entrance to this
lane and in the future it will not be
free to the public.

Some premature fruit, especially

pers show that cars containing such
peaches are instantly noted by COM
