KILLED BY TIE CARs--On Saturday
afternoon last, most distressing accident
happened on the w. M r. II. to one Of
its employees, named John Hoover, at or
near York Road Junction. 1t appears he
was employed as brakesman on the local
freight and whilst running over the cars
attending to his duties, slipped and fell be-
tween two cars, the wheels of which
passed over his body killing him instantly
His head was completely severed from his
body whilst his arms and legs were
smashed almost to jelly. He was resi-
dent of Westminster, and quite Il young
man.
RowDYIsM-In New York or Philadcl-
phia the Chief-ot,Police can't be every.
where, but in the small town of Mcchan.
icstown the burgess or constable can, cspc
cially on the square corners, and we can't
sec why they are not. Rowdyism is be-
coming rampant and no efforts made to
prevent it, The conduct of some unknown
rascals on Sunday night last was outrageous
in the extreme and several sick persons in
the neighborhood. The corporation laws
arc dctied, and the only reason is because
they are not more rigidy enforced. 1t is
too bad that such conduct is permitted and
if stop is not put TO it very soon, why
crime of higher grade will soon take its
place and our peaceful town given into the
hands of ruflians aud blackguards. If one
constable is not enough to maintain order
why elect another and we feel sure the tax
payers will willingly stand the cost. Do
not our cOnstablcs violate their oaths of
office in not maintaining order, or are they
only bonded to go to bed early and keep
clear of rowdies Sumo one answer.
Some Of our merchants do a wrong thing
too in leaving store boxes stand out over
Sunday, and they should also be looked af-
ter by the Mayor.
MILK men are too cnrclcss ahOut the
condition Of their cows. A good flow of
milk and sweet healthy butter can only be
produced when the blood and system Of
the COW is pure and hcalty. The milk men
of New Jersey say from actual experience
Foutz's Celebrated Horse and Cattle powd
rrs if used according to directions have the
desired effect beyond the most sanguine
expectation.
INSTALLATION OF REV. WIRE-Thc cX
crciscs connected With the installation Of
Rev. w. c. Wire rs pastor of the Mcchan
cstown charge were introduced on Satur-
dar night, o1th ultimo, at st. Johns Luth-
rran church by Rev S w. Owen, of lIa-
gerstown, Who in a very impressive and
eloquent sermon directed the attention Of
the congregation to the evil consequences
of covctousncss and the duty Of an entire
conservation on the part of members of
themselves, their wealth and their al! to
Christ and his cause.
On Sabbath morning Rev. Owen intro
duccd the exercises by q beautiful and APP
propriatc altar service after which Rev, ]
II. Turner, Of Burkittsyillc, preached a
most excellent sermon, setting forth the
duties Of the members to their pastor. At-
ter which Rev. Owens addressed the pas
tor, ditinng his duty and the great respon-
siblity that rested upon him. He also
spoke of the manner in which pastors are
sometimes treated by their members; how
unrcasonaby unkind and unchristian they
are now and then treated by those who
should be, and who had pledged them
selves to be their fellow helpers, and then
in his eloquent and inimitablc manner he
described the penuriousncss of some mem
bcrs, dropping by the way some very earn
est and pungent remarks which will doubt,
less bring forth good fruit. AT the conclu-
SION of this address the officers of the
Chllrcl ana the pastor presented themselves
before the altar and the regular questions
and answers, included in the installation
service, were asked and received, after
which the congregation was dismissed
On Sabbath afternoon, Rcvs Owens and
Turner both made excellent addresses to
the sabbath school. Rev. Owen preached
again on Sabbath night. The exercises
connected with all these services were cdi-
flying and profitable and this will be an oc-
casion long to be remembered. Rev. Ow-
en- has long been favorably known here
and always attracts many hearers.
Turner appeared upon his occnsi, e
first time in our midst and gave great sat
sfaction to the very large audience which
gave him the strictest attention, Rev.
Wire has been very tavorably received by
the congregation and has before him q
field which promises to be Of great useful
ness.
