On Saturday evening last, whilst Edward,

hill in buggy near this place, the horse be-
came unmanageable and ran down the hill at
Il terrible rate, striking tree, which threw
him out, inhicting some slight bruises. The

Close Of the Session
from the Baltimore Sun.

| from the Baltimore Sun.
| The first session Of the Forty eighth Con-
gress closed on Monday at p. M, having
extended over period of seven months and
FIVE days. The Sun has already given sum-
mary of its labors. Both as respects the
measures passed, and the measures which the
two houses had before them and declined to
pass, the record of the session just closed is a
fairly creditable one. The House passed
some popular measures which the Senate
either killed or declined to act upon, and
urged degree of economy to which the SEN
ate was unable to-condescend@ On the other
hand, there were several useful measures orig
mated by the Senate which failed to receive
the favor CT the House. The total OF the ap-
preparations made is $l93, POI ,0S7, or, includ-
ing reappropriations, $3.50, POI ,0S7. Compar-
ed with the appropriations of the first session
of the Forth seventh Congress, which aggre-
gated 1905, 729,015, these figures are very
creditable to the Democrats of the House.
They will probably point also to those OF the
first session of the Forty-sixth Congress
which were S189, $50, 251-to .show that the
relatively small figures Of the Forty eighth
Congress are due to no accident, but are in
accordance with the traditional policy of their
party AS theparty of retrenchment and reform.
The measure Of relief from taxation for which
the country looked to the session. of Congress
was presented by the Democratic leaders of
the House, and, having the support of over
four-fifths of the Democratic members of that
body, would have been passed but for the
solid opposition of the Republicans, not
merely to the Morrison bill as proposed, but
to any amendment or modification of it, The
moral effect, however, of the struggle for tariff
reform remains, and when at length this
measure is carried, its friends will probably
attribute to the firm attitude of the Democrats
of the Forty eighth Congress the inception of
the definite movement which finally ended in

Harvesting in this section is over and farm
ers have commenced to thresh out their crops
The crops are unusually good, but it was the
hardest for years to gather on account of
being lodged and tangled. At one place the
grain was so heavy and tangled SO badly that
the binder was unable to do its work.
A terrific storm passed over our place on

A mi,r-Dam owners Hard Luck.

From. the Union Bridge blder Of TharsdGy.
The law suit which was brought nearly two
years ago by DIR. White and his wife, of Me
chanicstowD, against c. B. Anders, of Double
Pipe Creek, to compel him to reduce his mill
dam one foot in height, was decided in the
Court of Appeals against him short time
ago, the Court directing him to lower the dam
one foot. Last week the great flood on Dou-
bic Pipe Creek washed off the greater part of
the breast several feet deep, which lowered
the water much more than required by law.
This Mr. Anders thought would certainly sat
isfy the plaintiffs in the case; but, on going to
Westminster last Thursday, he was instructed
that the plaintiffs demanded the removal from
the ends or sides of the dam breast Of the
pieces of top logs that yet remained, or that
he be sent to Jail for contempt of court in not
obeying its orders. Mr.. Anders seemed to
think that under the decree of the court his
dam was lowered sufficiently as it then was
by the flood, and decided, rather than rem owe
the short space of logs alluded to, that he
would suffer imprisonment. He was put in
Jail on the day named, and still remains there.
He states that he will perish in prison before
he will take off the pieces referred to. MIR.
Anders seems to have had TO pass through
ordeals demoralizing and distressing. His
large mill was burnt few years ago, entailing
heavy loss; this brought financial depression,
now followed by Imprisonment for as we
think, trifing cause. The finale of this
case has, we are informed, caused widespread
dissatisfaction and bitterness in the oomnri-
nty against his prosecutors.

Our farmers have been hard atwork for the
last ten days, Except Sundays,) saving their
harvest, and up to this time have about finished
their rye and wheat. Many have finished
their hay harvest also. Flowing corn for the
last time, and doing up odd jobs, preparatory
to stacking and ricking their grain are among
the orders of the day. Providence certainly
has blessed our farmers with bountiful har
vest thus far, and given them beautiful weather
for the saving of the same.
Many of our farmers were heard to say
Where are the reapers, and who will come to
help us gather in the golden sheaves for the
harvest home? The laborers, indeed, were
few, when compared to the amount of labor
to be done, and had it not been for machinery
the farmers would not have been equal to the
contest

Although the telephone exchange here rs
not regularly open, quite number have been
using the lines this week. Their convenience
has been so well demonstrated that the num-
Der has been increased, and it is probable that
when the exchage is opened regularly there
will be more than twenty subscribers. Six
teen places were connected-last Tuesday, and
some have been put up since. As the people
learn to understand and appreciate their con-
venence and utility their number will be in
creased, and before the year is out scarcely
an important business establishment drug
store or physicians office will be without tele-
phone connection.
The county Offices should be supplied.
One at the Court House would suffice for all,
and the investment would be repaid many
times over There should be line to the
water-works, also, to be used in the event OF
fire.
In time-and not long time, either-the
lines will be extended throughout the county,
and persons can converse with others at
distance as readily as if they were in the same
room.
The importance of this rapid and accurate
communication cannot be overestimated.
When the lines are up business will be facilia-
ted and increased; crime will decrease, and
law-breakers will have less chance of escap-
ing. To enumerate the advantages, however,
would require great space, and we will only
add that the business establishment that fails
to have telephone connection will, to use a
common expression, ''get left"
OnTuesday all the lines were connected
and all the subscribers rung up. There
were a number of persons in the exchange,
and every subscriber could hear all that was
said by everybody. There was great deal
of fun and amusement, and voices could be
distinguished. There was good deal oftalk
about Butler getting the Democratic nomina-
ton at Chicago, and the mention of his name
was the signal for a general laugh. Some OF
the subscribers sung, some whistled and there
was general clatter over the wires, which
lasted for some time.

social entertainment.

Reported for the Democratic Advocate.
On the evening of the glorious Fourth a
large company of young folks, many of whom
were from distance, repaired to the residence
of Mr.. Aaron Bixler, III Wakefield Valley,
where a sumptuous entertainment was gwen
by his daughter, Miss Jennie Bixler Fifty
cards of invitation were issued, society people
were on the qui riUe and light hearts were
going pit-a-pat in joyous expectation of the
occasion. AT length the evening arrived; so
did the young folks, and at about 7,30 p, m
the numerous friends of the esteemed hostess
began to pour into the brilliantly lighted re-
ception room. In an incredibly short time we
found ourselves in the midst of one of the
happiest assemblages that even Wakefield
can bring together After hearty welcome
was extended to all by the kind hostess in her
usual pleasant manner, the party disposed
themselves upon the lawn and porch, which
were beautifully illuminated by Chinese Ian
terms, and gave themselves up to free aud
unreserved interchange of conversation, char
acterized by great good humor. A feature of
the evening was the really excellent music
rendered by the hostess and her brother upon
the piano and violin, as well as the excellent
singing by the Misses Slingluf. The Aus
tralian Pet arrived on time, and will be re-
membered by the gentleman, and won't be
forgotten by the young ladies. The ham
mocks in the yard were well patronized, and

Refreshments were announced, and in this

About midnight on Saturday night last we
had the most violent storm that has been
known in this section for many years. Many
large trees were Frustrated; some were up
rooted and others broken off. In some in
stances solid trees more than two feet in
thickness were broken off. Part Of the barn
roof of Mr.. Noah Brown, near the Pennsyl-
vania line, was carried away. The corn crib
and chicken house of Mr.. Martin Yingling,
of this place, were blown down. Such was
the violence of the storm that people retreat
ed to their cellars for safety. The rain fall
was very great; the damage done to roads and
cornfelds was only exceeded by the big rain
of few weeks ago. But few grain shocks
were left standing, the sheaves being scattered
over the field.
