Within day or two past arrangements which
had been quietly progressing have been conclu-

tween Philadelphia and Cage May. The steamer
procured is the City Point, said to be swift
ailer and larger than the Feit0a. She has just

HIMsELv.
A determined and bloody affair occurred, says
the Baltimore Sun, at about ~ o'clock last eve
ming, on the Calverton road, near the western
limits Of the city, in which Henry Zaiser shot
his next door neighbor, Lewis Egner, and then
shot himself. The parties are butchers, Twin g
side by side, with communicating gates in th .
paling fence between them.
Egner, without his coat on. Was standing in
his yard near the pump, his son-in-lAw, wife,
daughter and several children on the porch or
near by. 1t WAS in the dusk Of the evening, af-
ter the days work was over. Side porches and
windows of both dwellings look into each other
vening. Haiser, who 1t is saidh had recently been
suffering from mania = potu, though he had
not been drinking for several days, appeared on
his porch In his stocking feet and shirt sleeves
with . short German rifle In his hands. and fired
down on Egner, who WAS standing on the ground
in his own yard with his back and left aide to-
wards the assaient. The rifle was loaded with
buckshot and the charge took effect in the
shoulder, arm, side and back, making ten
wounds.
Zaiser after firing 1t his heighbor loaded the
rifle again with . mimic ball, and placing the
muzzle against his side pulled the trigger with
his toe, but somehow or other the movement to
range and sent the ball into q rAfter Of the COW
cred porch under which he was standing. He
then loaded the rifle again, this time with
| buckshot, and trying the same process OH him
self the second time WAS more successful A
part OF the charge entered his left side below
the ribs and eight buckshot were counted in
the ceiling pr the porch where they had scat
| tered.
Esner is not dangerously wounded, but zaiAer
may die.

Tho First Peninsula Cnmp-Mecsing.
REV. FATHER BoEHM's RECoLLEcTIoNs OF TT.
REMARKABLE PHENOMENON.

REV. FATHER BOEHMs RECoLLECTIoNB OF TIA
REMARKABLE PHENOMENON.
Tho first camp meeting that remember was
held on the Peninsula, between the head Of
Chester and Smyrna, 1906. There wore num-
Dor OF tents on tho ground in which families
dwelt, and the preachers Of the region were gem
orally present. DIR. Chandler WAS in charge. A
remarkable phenomenon took place while the
meeting was in progress, which remember with
great distinctness. A minister was preaching
one day from the stand to an attentive copgre-
cation, when cloud came up from the west be-
tokeniDg speedy rain. Tho people began to be
uneasy. and show signs Of seeking shelter, when
DR.. Chandler rose in the stand and
in . positive manner told the people
to remain seated, declaring that no
rain would fall upon the encampment. The
preachers were quite startled by this bold dec
laration, thinking the Doctor had over-stefPed
the bounds Of prudence, and that he would be
COMPOUNDED by the result. But strange to say.
just before tho cloud reached the camp ground
1t divided one portion moving to the right and
the other to the left pouring out rain on either
side, while no rain fell upon tho camp. Tho i'm
preston produced by this striking event resulted
in the conversion OF many souls.
Such q remarkable occurrence. signalling the
first camp meeting held on the Peninsula, could
not but create favorable impression on tho
public mind in regard to these meetings. They
continued to be held thereafter every year, and
in increasing numbers. They were occasions Of
great solemnity, and most respectful and rover
emit attention WAS given to the services by the re-
ligi0us portion Of the community.

Salaries.


The raising of Beecher's salary to 100000 I
year, gives him the largest compensation in the
Union. But ono salary in the world trsnscendt
it-rhat OF the yiceroy OF India, which is 50,00t
pounds sterling, or .250,O00 year, though it is
possible the salary of Lord Dufferin, as COVER
nor general Of Canada is about $500 year.
The ambassadors of Great Britain at Paris and
Vienna receive but $50, 1000 year. We are told
that II. D. Clatlin pays his "credits man" for.
merly President of the Bank OF North America,
Mr.. Donaldson, ! 100, 900 year on account Of his
unprecedented knowledge Of credits. The firm
do business Of $40, OO0, 900 year, and this BUS
mess is an entirely credit one; therefore skill.
full knowledge OF tho buyers, their standing and
personal habits. is of more value than ten per
cent. upon this amount; in other words, it is pro-
iitable to Claiiin to pay less than two per cent.
upon his sales to Mr.. Donaldson. There are
many statesmen in tho leading houses in New
York with salaries reaching as high as $50, 900
while the leading journalist must content him
self with $4,000. However, salaries are at this
moment much better than incomes, and from
the present outlook will continue 30 to he for
some time to come.
