James p. roadvine Dead.

james Purnell Toadvine, an old and
widely known citizen OF Salisbury, Md, died
on Thursday afternoon. He was born near
Salisbury in the year 1905 and was engaged
in the mercantile houses of the late Purnell

years. Since 1870 he has not been

with many industries and the finest stores on
the Eastern Shore. He outlived nearly all

in Salisbury now who could talk with him
about old times" and he felt like a stranger

The KrnkutOn Eiecta.

The British ship Charlotte Groom, in addi-
tion to her regular cargo, brought into New
York Friday a good many bucketfuls OF
pumice, which had been spread over wide
expanse of ocean by the Java earthquake.
rhe ship first encountered the floating masses
on February 9th, when she was IA days out
from Chttagong. She continued to pass
through them for 13 days and over
twelve hundred miles. The fragments were
30 thick in the water that whom great lump
was fished out the bucket could not be
lowered III time to catch the next big one
From the amount seen and the length OF
time the ship was passinglthrough It'll is estl'
mated that the belt of floating volcanic mat
ter must have been over one thousand miles
wide and five or six thousand long The
pieces picked up have tiny marine shells il
the creyices, and were just beginning to bt
coated with seaweed. The belt followed
closely the line of the southwest trades.

A Pretty Thought.


A flower has been discovered in South
America which is only visible when the
wind is blowing. When everything is
serene the stalk stands stiff and solemn
among the more beautiful vegitat.on, but
the instant the wind blows, number Of
exquisite flowers bloom forth from its
stem. There are some people in this
world who in tins Of calm and prosperity
Seem hard and formal, but the moment
adversity comes their humanity blossom;
into works Of charity and love.

Philadelphia II res Special,
WASHINGTON May 81 The situation
OF Representative Pselie grows inserest-
ing. Mr.. Peelle was left by the days de-
bate and conclusions hanging, as 1t were,
by the eyelids. The caae took up the
whole afternoon in the House. There
was a slight indication OF Republican
intent to fiilbuster at the close, growing
ont Of Misunderstanding as to time,
but a vote was finally reached on q
motion Of Mr.. Hart of 0hio,to substitute
the minority report confirming the right
Of Peelle to the seat.
Mr. Lore advocated the passage Of the
minority report In favor Of Peele. He
discarded as unworthy Of consideration
all the matter brought forward except
the change of votes discovered In the re-
count Of votes for the sheriff Of Marion
oonnty by Mr.. Brown. With no other
evidence than that OF a personal friend,
acting without calling In his colleagues,
he could not vote to seat Mr.. English.
During the progress of the vote there
WAS great deal Of interest manifested.
Mr.. English the contestant, sat at desk
in tue lsst row and kept tally, and look
ing over his shoulder stood his father
and number OF members watching each
vote intently. To the chsgrin OF the
Democrats the substitute was adopted by
v1ts OF 112 to 117-this after every
man who WAS about the capitol could be
drnmmed mp. The Democrats who voted
with the Republicans for the sub
stitue were Aiken, Beach, Boyle,
Budd, Connolly, Oar an, Findlay,
Greenleaf, Hardeman, Herbert, Hewitt
of Alabama, Hunt, Jones Of Wisconsin,
Lore, Mills, Morgan, Neese Peel OF Arkan-
san, Potter, Stevens, Sumner of Cali
fornia, Throckmorton, Tillman, Turner
of Georgia, Woodward, Worthington and
Yaple.
Mr.. Springer Immediately moved re-
| consideration, and Mr.. Hart of Ohio
moved to lay that motion on the table.
Without reaching vote the House

English is said to have stated that
he would put 100000 into the next

is no little feeling existing as to the part

Alexander HamiIton's watch.

North East Star.
Alexander George, living near North
East, carries the watch owned and
worn by Alexander Hamilton, who
figured among the foremost In the
early history of the country, and was
killed in duel with Aaron Burr, in
1910. The watch is an open-fsoed gold
one, very fiat and bears the in
soriplion "Godemars, No. 227O."
This is all that is upon the watch to
designate its make; 1t is supposed,
however, to be of French manufacture.
The hands are of gold, and still point the
time accurately. Mr.. George is lineal
descendent of the great statesman, on his
mothers side, and is named for his
grandfather, Alexander Hamilton George.
Doubtless this watch WAS upon the per-
son Of the distinguished Hamilton on
that fatal day in July when he fell a
victim to the lifelong / ate OF an unscru
pulous political enemy.

ALBERT FLAGLOR DEAD.
He Expires at Midnight - ShOrl
Sketch OF His Life.

sketch OF HIS Lille.
Albert Flaglor died at midnight Thurs
day, after Ii gering illness.
MIR. Flaglor was born in New burg,N Y,
May 4th, 1928 and came to this city when
IL years OF age. He learned carriage body
making with the late John XII kmsu, who
at that time carried on shop at Fourth
and French streets. In 1884, Mr. Flsglor
formed oopartnsrsbip with Maroelus
Fleming aud succeeded to the business of
his employer.
In 1S46 the cooperative firm OF A.
Flsglor & Co. WAS formed by the assoois-
fertiop OF nine young men trained in dif-
ent branches of the work, which sssocia-
tion proved the nursery from which sprsug
most of the larger factories OF later days.
One by one, as they accumulated capital,
the othe, partners dropped out aud started
shops OF their own; Enos HuDzberger,
who in 1859 90 erected the large building
at Water and Market streets now owned
by the B. & p Railroad Campsny, bsipg
the last to withdraw, leaving Flaglor
alone.
-SsThirty years ago the long, low frame
building south OF Market street bridge,
occupied by Flaglor, was by far the most
important in the business here turning
out as many as 900 jobs per
year, a very large number
for that day aud only excslled since by
McLear & Kendall The old building has
long since been replaced by Paschsll's
large brick factory.
The breaking out Of the war ,Cf the
rebellion gsve Fsglor's business q death
blow, and, though he secured some la-ge
government contracts for ambulanoes and
army wagons, the days of prosperity in
the old frame building were numbered
Mr.. Flaglor was at that tims in very
good circumstance, but he WAS upfortu
nate in the subst stqnent speoulations into
which he entered and the close of the
war left him comparatively poor man.

conformity with time hOnored-custOm en-
deared to us by hallOwed associations j, JO-

in such way and with such observances as
seem to them most fitting, render thanks to the
Infinite Source Of Good for the blessings of the

Let us, therefore, laying aside our ordinary

individuals, and as nation. Rejoicing that
our government "ef the people, by the people,
and for the people, is cherished by all the
states Of our glorious Union, let us emulate the
virtues OF the fathers and secure the continued
prosperity of the nation by deserving it.
Let our gratitude find expression not only by
religious ofservsnccs, but also in acts Of Chris

ly supplied tables, loving memories filing the
vacant chairs, let us not forget the solitary
and the poor. 'But to do good and to commu-
n!cate forget not, for with such sacrifices God
is well pleased"
In testimony whereof have here unto set
