HEAVY TRAVEL ON THE ERIE.
Passengers Bound For Summer Re-
sorts-Four Cars Derailed.

Erie train II, the westbound mail
and milk train due at this station at
7.57 a. m, was two hours late Fri
day on account of it's engine break
ing down on the New York division,
says the Port Jervis Gazette.

on the Erie and Jersey railroad were
derailed on Wednesday night and
caused considerable delay to traffic.

ed and cleared the tracks.
Passenger traffic is steadily in
creasing on the Erie, the local trains
being particularly heavy westbound
from the seaboard terminals with
guests for the summer resorts in
Sullivan, Wayne, Pike and Della
ware counties.

RAISING MANY COLTS.

In the past few years the prices OF
horses has been so high that farmers
have turned their attention again to
breeding horses, but there is a disposi.
tion to breed better stock, as it costs
no more to grow q well bred animal,
which brings many more dollars when
put on the market, than the common
ordinary mixed breed. At the sale Of
the stock on the Cochran Stock Farm
last spring, several farmers from this
vicinity bought both young animals
and brood mares OF well known pedi.
gree. Among this number was Benja.
min B. Vineyard Of near Milford, who
bought a mare, BERTHE e, in foal by
Barnett B who has 8 record Of 2 O6(.
He also has q yearling colt which is
also a thoroughbred, and gives promise

STRAWBERRY MARKET.

The strawberry season for Delaware
is now at it's heighth, and long train.
loads Of these luscious berries follow
each other out from the D., NJ & V.
ana other railroads to the Delaware
road, and then TO the great cities Of the
north. Prices have ranged from So 80
per 80 quart crate during the later part
Of last week 10 the close Of this week.
when prices have ranged from 81 50 to
$3.50 per crate just according to the
grade Of the fruit and the point of ship
ment. Bridgeville and Selbyville are
Of course far and away ahead Of all
other shipping points, but such towns
as Lincoln City, Millsboro, Green wood,
Laurel, FELTON, and other places. have
all shipped from two to ten carloads
each day during the week. 1t would
seem that there would be a great lack
Of people to pick the berries, but they
come from Philadelphia, Baltimore and
up from the districts in Virginia and
Maryland, where the crop is over, aud
pick the berries. A good picker makes
from 81 so to 50 90 per day, while the
children in districts where they pick /
all day make from 81 90 to Sl.25. At
places like Milford, where the acreage
is not near so large as at even towns
much smaller, the practice lie to pick
up until the noon hour, and even at
this some rapid pickers gather from 80
to 10 quarts.

MI Austin's basket OF Chapman va
riety was the largest in size present.
They looked fine enough to swallow
whole, but no one surely would think
OF attempting such 3 feat, at least, not
among the ladies, as it would be liable
TO cause enlargement Of the mouth.
Mr.. Austin said he used q good grade
Of manure and nitrate Of soda on his
plants and found this variety good
enough for him. He received as high
as IS. .46 per crate last week.
Mr.. Griffith exhibited q new variety
called the Chesapeake, which he had
purchased Of Mr. Allen Of Salisbury,
Nd, and they represented q very fine
type Of berry.
Mr.. Whitehead has produced a new
variety Of strawberry which has not
been named, as yet. 1t is a large bright
red berry and a fine sub acid flavor is
in its favor

ceived as high as p cents per basket in

A BOSTON CARTOONIST
in A REAL MULE CASE

Arthur W. Eaton, a cartoonist OF
Boston, Mass, came to Delaware in
January Of 1910, and arranged with
Richard W.. Duffy, who owned the
Murphy farm, near Glendale, for a
consideration to take an interest in the
farm, and also furnish certain funds to
be used in its development With part
Of the money furnished by Mr. Eaton,
which was deposited to the credit Of
the "VinewOed Farm" in the Milford
Trust Company, as his equity in the
products of the farm. 1t was decided
between the parties to buy q pair Of
mules, and accordingly the sum OF
S207. 90 was paid for the mules from
their mutual fund. Mr.. Duffy on Sat.
1rday last left home and came to Mil.
ford Mr.. Eaton having previously
become dissatisfied had come to Milford
a few days previous, and drew from
the Milford Trust Company the balance
to the credit Of the "Vinewood Farm. "
Oh Saturday afternoon, May 21st, after
Mr.. Duffy had left for Milford, Mr.. |
Eaton decided to have the mules hitched |
to & wagon, and loading on his trunk |
and other property, he drove to George. /
town, from whence he could take his
departure for his Boston home. How.
ever the plan went wrong, as ne was
intercepted by Constable Marvel and
Mr. Duffy, the latter having received
notification Of EstOn's departure when
about one mile from Georgetown. The
parties then returned to "ViHeWOOd
Farm, and subsequently to Milford
Mr. Eaton resting under the charge Of
the larceny Of the pair Of mules. They
arrived in Milford just before midnight
Of Saturday night, and Mr.. Eaton was
held in $500 bail for his appearance on

dence as adduced showed plainly from
q check placed in evidence, that the '
males were paid for by the money de. a
posted to the credit Of the "Vinewood q

opinion of the justice that the mules O
taken by Mr.. Eaton were under color 7
