MEDICAL LIBRARY TO BE MADE
FROM OLD DELAWARE BANK
G. C. CORNELIUS, NEW YORK
EXPERT, DRAWS PLANS
Bishop Philip Cock Expresses His
Approval of Reconstruction Pro-
ject Now Under Way

Copies of blue prints for the re-
construction Oh a new site of the
old National Bank of Delaware, as
a medical library and medical So
ciety meeting place, have been re-
ceived by Mrs. Henry B. Thompson
of Greenville, leader in the project,
from Charles G. Cornelius, curator
of the American Wing of the Me
tropolitan Museum of Art, New
York City. A letter of approval
and good wishes for the recon-
struction of the historic building
on another site, was received rec
emily by Mrs. Thompson from
Bishop Philip Cook, of the Protest
ant Episcopal Diocese of Delaware.
Specifications have ben sent to 10
cal contractors, and estimates will
be received within the month. At
a meeting of the committee held
Tuesday, it was decided to restrict
the work to Delaware firms, so
that local people may be given
employment. More money is need
ed, and the site for the building
must be decided upon before def
mite work on moving the building
will be started, according to Mrs.
Thompson. During Mrs. Thomr-
sons absence in Europe through
the summer, DR.. William c.
Kraemer, assisted by DR.. Lewis B.
Finn and H. Rodney Sharp, will
assume charge. Checks and con-
tributions are to be mailed to S. D.
Townsend, care of the Wilmington
Trust Company, who is treasurer
of the committee. Work on NOV
ing the building will be systematic.
Everything will be labelled by the
workmen when torn down, so that
the matter of erection will be
handled swiftly. The woodwork,
bricks, heating system and electric
light fixtures will all be used. Only
the inside walls will be discarded.

Truck Driver Asleep Crashes Into

Mrs. Mary Stats, wife of Ford
Stats OF near Clayton, and daugh-
ter of Mrs. Ida Robinson of this
town, miraculously escaped serious
injury, when, according to the
State Police, the car which she
was driving was virtually cut in
two when it figured in an accident
with a large motor truck, on the
State Highway, south of Black
bird, last Wednesday afternoon.
According to reports, Mrs. Stats
was proceeding north on the pike
and as she approached the larger
vehicle, which is owned by the B.
and P. Transfer Company, Sails
bury and which was operated by
]. H. Webster, also of Salisbury,
she drove her car to the extreme
right side of the road to avoid the
collision. The truck struck the
smaller car directly in the middle,
ripping the tonneau apart. Mrs.
Stats suffered several cuts and
bruises on her body but was
thrown clear of the demolished
vehicle. Mrs. Stats, questioned
following the accident, said that
she believed Webster had fallen
asleep at the wheel. She said that
she saw the truck approaching in
her direction and tried to avoid
hitting it swerving her car to the
side of the road. Mrs. Stats was
taken to the Office of a doctor in
Smyrna, where she was treated for
her minor injuries.

Washed Out Again.-The stopp-
ing of the old Creek over which
the approach is made to Bombay
Hook is an unfortunate place and
a continuous source of trouble to
the Islanders. We noted a few
weeks since that an arrangement
had been made for replacing it, the
County to bear one third of the
cost, $500, the remainder to be
born by William Reybold and other
land owners on the island. The
work was nearly completed last
week, an hour or SOS work making
it secure, but the men on the mud
machine refused to work after six
o'clock and that night the whole
was carried out and washing the
place ten feet deeper. 1t is said
to be now over thirty feet deep.
The money being exhausted, of
course the filling in at this place
will have to be abandoned and the
overflow continue at the will of the

keep the road passible by throwing
up banks on the side.

covery Of want of legal author

Peaches.-This time last year the
Delaware Railroad was carving
from twenty to thirty car loads
Of peaches per day and increased
as the month advanced. This year
the most it has carried has been a
few crates. This section, except
possibly very few near the bay,
will not have a peach for the city
market. 1t is doubtful if the peach
crop this year will amount to as
many peaches as it did car loads in
1880. Information received from
all parts of the Maryland and Del
aware Peninsula lead many people
TO estimate that the shipment over
the Delaware Railroad will not
amount to one car load a day. All
the peaches that do come will be
picked from the orchards along
water course, and these will be Of
an inferior quality. Thus far, the
few peaches shipped have been
