PEACH CROP FORTY PER CENT

Many Baskets of Delicious Fruits Will
Be Marketed in Lower Part of State
The peach crop of Delaware, it
is now nearly certain, will show a
production of not more than forty
per centum of the acreage possibil-
ity this year. Figures have been
made this week and estimates are
given after observation of the
orchards by growers and horticul-
turists, appreheusiVe over the havoc
wrought bv the zero weather this
winter. 1t will not reach half a
crop. If the buds that are saved
will now arrive at maturity ard
produce peaches, there will be
many baskets of delicious fruit of
this kind shipped from Delaware
this year by railroad. steamboat
and wagon road, for even half a
crop means many peaches, although
the acreage is dwindling owing to
the appearance of harder fruits
that do not necessits:e the care and
anxiety of the peach. Last fall it
was found the long and dry summer
season had caused the peach to form
its terminal buds early. Just then,
unusually heavy rains came and the
sap and life of the peach trees were
started into growth. With the bud
scales started and poorly protected
the winter set in, and on January IL.
in the night time, the temperature
dropped to eight below zero, and
this zero weather continued, recur-
ring from time to time. In this
climate, it has often been said.
peach trees suffer greatly when the
temperature drops to zero. The ex-
animation of buds made during the
favorable days in March, shows the
following percentage of living

CONSTABLE HELD FOR FORGERY
William M. Boyer is Alleged to Have
Failed to Deliver Insurance Money

Constable William M. Boyer of
Clayton, sworn peace officer of the
First Kent district and who has
himself in the past ten years caused
the arrest of hundreds of persons
throughout the State, was himself
summoned before Magistrate Wood
last week and held on charges of
forgery. Bail was fixed at $1,000
maximum, and this was furnished by
two prominent citizens of Clayon.
Boyer was not arrested, but was no
titled by Constable Nansant of the
writs against him, and he volun-
tarily appeared last Thursday morn
ing when the hearings were pro-
ceeded with. The seven cases
against the constable were brought
by the State. The State alleged
that the defendant was made agent
to deliver certain small insurance
dividends or gratuicies to insured ]
persons in the First district, and
that Boyer himself wrote the name
of the insured person on the line
where receipt for the rebate is ac-
knowledged and never paid over the
money. It was shown that two of
the persons could not write but the
others could. Six cases were taken
up against him and he waived a
hearing in the seventh. The
amounts alleged are small-three for
fifty cents; one for seventy-five
cents and three for $1.25. James
M. Satterield has been retained by
Boyer. Arley B. Magee appeared
for the State.

Recent French Invention That

Photographs Can Ne Sent by Tslo-

Paris.-It has been possible for
some time to send photographs by
wire with great accuracy and soine
speed, wherever the necessary appa-
ratus exists. Such transmission has
for year or so formed part OF the
regular Paris service of an enterpris-
ing London journal. Suppose, however.
that a. reporter fnds himself ut q
country telegraph station and desires
to send to his paper picture Of some
kind in connection with his story
portrait. or the photograph of some
building or locality. He is evidently
no better on than he would have been
a century ago. A recent process. how
ever, the invention OF q French en-
gineer named Mortier. would make Il
possible for him to send his picture,
over a.single wire. with the aid OF the
ordinary telegraphic instruments-or|
rather, It would enable him to tele-I
graph data from which the pictureI
could be built up at the receiving sta
