A call for a meeting of peach growers for the main purpose of opening new routes for the immense crop of this year was responded to lut Saturday afternoon by the principal growers of this vicinity, representing over 1,000,000 baskets. Th* meeting was called to order by ap pointing E W. Lockwood chairman and J. Thomas Bndd secretary. Gov. J. P. Cochran thought best for each ibipper to designate a place of shipment by the Phila. A Reading and Lehigh Valley rail roads, and to sign their names to a register so that no shipments would conflict with each other. Many agreed to his proposition by signing. Allentown, Scranton, Williams port, Sunbury, Wilkesbarre, Reading, Pitts burg, and HArrisbnrg are among the places that are to receive extra shipments, taking from one to ten car loads per day, each. A tariff wu read by the secretary, showing the price per car to points in Pennsylvania, and time ef arrival. The route to Boston was favored, and many of the prominent shippers stbted the advan tages of said route, one being the avoidance of New York commission men. Boston will probably receive a part of the finest of the crop, u it !b believed to pay. On motion of J. P. Cochran, H N. Willits and B. T. Biggs were appointed a committee to go to New York and confer with carters of the fruit from Jersey City to New York in view of a reduction of one cent per basket. It was stated that if this reduction could be effected, it wonld save the growers at leas) $40,000, and this it a sum that they rightful ly claim. The committee was instructed to call a meeting of carters at some suitable place in New York city, they to be accompanied by commission merchants, and to state the enor mous size of the crop and that it would be al most necessary to make a reduction of one cent. Other powers were giveh the commit tee. After a discussion on the subject of distri bution, the meeting adjourned to meet in Mid dletown today, at 2 o'clock p. m., sharp. In conversation with E. R. Cochran, Esq., your correspondent was informed of a propo sition of a New York man to the peach grow ers in this neighborhood. Mr. Ricker, the •did gentleman, offers to pnt up machinery and biildings to cost $20,000 and store from 50,000 to 100,000 baskets of peaches f to be famished by growers and the quantity to be determined npon by them. After storing hs will frtese th* frail by cold sir add keep them in a perfect state until late io the winter,when they can be shipped to any point and disposed of to a financial advantage, looked upon as beiag a good one, though nothing definite has been done iu regard to < the Satur which, being crush the A by Robt. their the and both time pretty acci and them pain, For to This offer is L. it, A Stagnlsa Case at Newark. A BAB WHO HAS BEEN IMPRISONED FOR SEVERAL YEARS FOR INSANITY DECLARED IN HIS BIGHT MINO BY A JURY—TRIAL OF THE CASE YESTER DAY AND FULL PARTICULARS OF THE AFFAIR. Newark, Del., June 23. A novel trial, and one of great interest, took place in the Deer Park Hotel, in this town, yesterday. It was the eiamination by a jury de lunatieo inquirendo into the ense of David McConaughy, who for several years past bas been treated as a lnnatic, being con fined at Kirkbride's and the New Castle alms house, and by many persons it is believed wrongfnlly. Coercion, it is said, has even at times been resorted to TO PROCURE IMPRISONMENT) and altogether the case is a very strange one. The following are the particulars, aa given ont : * David McConaugbey was the eldest son at the death of his father, and under the direc tion of bis grandfather took charge of .the estate. He freed the property from debt, which at that time is understood to have equalled the full value of the property, and took the same at an appraisement. By years of bard labor he is said to have accumulated a large amount of money, and finally sold out the home place to his two brothers, and also itarted a third in business in Sussex county, to whom he also afterwards sold out his •balk. .. "7^ 7 j j Being out of business with an income suffi cient to maintain him, he took to drink, wbieh, after a long spell,* OVERTHBKW HIE NERVOUS BYSTEM. He was then confined in Kirkbride's, where, with the exception of a short absence on "french leare,'' he remained for nearly four year*. A boot two years ago he came home eery much reduced in body, being a mere skeleton, and with his nervons system severe ly sbat'ered. In this condition be called on' a physician, under whose treatment he began to improve, and as strength returned be be gan to ask for a settlement ef accounts which had remained open daring his confine - meat at Kirkbride's. It is stated that this request was denied, bnt persisting in his de mand, under a plea of his becoming danger ous, he was by force, the statement goes, taken to Wilmington withont any warrant of law and there held several months, and until be came to the conclusion he WOULD BE SPIRITED AWAY, when he left the almsbense of his own accord and went to Philadelphia, where he consulted aa old family physician and from him ob tained a certificate of theeanity of bi« mind. With this he returned to Wilmington and consulted a lawyer, obtaining from him a letter which advised caution on the part of those who were urging bis imprisonment. Since then Mr. McConaughy bos been re siding in Wilmington and Newark. This Spring be requested the lawyer whom he had first called on after bis escape to procure a settlement, but the matter was delayed, and application was made to Chancellor Saols bary to have MB. M'COBAUGHY DECLARED INSANE. Another lawyer was then employed by Mr. McC., and yesterday the trial wa( pro ceeded with, by orders of th» Chancellor, at tha Deer Park Hotel, as stated. The follow ing gentlemen comprised the jury : Abraham Camerson, Smalley, Geo. G. Evans, William Dean, Levi Ruth, Philip R. Clarkes James M. Housman, Thomas C. Morrison, Benjamin F. Townsend, Robert C. Justice, Robert Haw thorn, Wm. D. Cornog. Wm. G. Wbiteley, Esq., represented the brothers of Mr. Mc Cenaughy, who were the applicants for the trial, and-Wm. C. Spruance, Esq., represent Mr. McConaughy. Dela risks E. 1st, 350 OF : TBS TRULL. Miss Susan McConaughy, a sister, wu the first witness called, who testified to certain peculiarities in her brother, and believed him to be of ansoand mind and unfit to take care of himself or his effects. Miss Rebecca Me Conaughy also testified to the same things. Peter Meggitt hod known McConaughy for a number of years, and as he was not now what he used to be, after excessive nse of strong drink, he concluded he wu unfit to do business. m Dr. Shortlidge, physician at the almshouse during Mr. McConaagby's residence tkers, deposed that in his »pinion all men are insane on some subject ; that David McConaughy'« insanity wu in relation to the Bible, and he believed him to be unfit lo take care of him self or hi* effects. Mr*. Emerson, matron at the almshouse, knew McConaughy, and from the fabt that be gave her as mnch u a dollar at a time with which to bay oranges, newspapers, writing materials, Ac., which he afterwards gave awsiy to the inmates, she concluded his mind was not right. ' Jonathan McConaughy stated|the peculiar ities of bis brother, mentioning particularly the fact that he wottld walk long distances, instead of riding. David McConaughy himself was then called and testified that his brothers owed him some $18,000 or $19,000, with a large amount ef back interest, but the interest, he said, bad been consumed in bis maintenance at Kirk bride's and the New Cutle almshouse. Some further witnesses were examined, when Mr. Sprnsnce OPXHED THE CASE FOB THE DEFENCE, explaining that be would prove that David McConaughy was sol insane, and if anything was wrong it was from the use of strong drink, to the use of which be gave himself when he thenght he wu being unjustly dealt with by his fumily, and it had well nigh wrecked bis nervous system A large number of witnesses were called, among them Wilson Marvel, Samuel Miller, John Atkinson, Seth Stewart, John H. Todd, ef Wilmington, who bad seen Mr. McCon aughy just after he brake out of the alms house, and Dr. Shaw. Letters were also read to show the sanity of McConaughy. Dr. Cnrtis bad conversed with McConaughy and believed him sane. of VERDICT or THE iOay. VTV' The caie occupied from two o'clock in the afternoon until 12} at night.
