A FEW QUERIES.

Mr.. EDITORIAL the meeting on Fri
day night LAST to ratify the nomination
of Blaine and Logan, Mr.. VIM. T. War
burton was one of the speakers, and
during his remarks took occasion to say
that "the nomination of Blaine had been
made in spite of the Office holders and
their friends"
| want to ask Mr.. Warburton one
question.
1t will be remembered that the Repub-
lican Convention of Cecil county expressly
instructed the delegates from the county
to the State Convention to vote only for
recognized and acOred Blaine men as del
crates to the National Nominating Con-
vention. Mr.. Warburton was delegate
to the State Convention, and went to
Hagerstown under obligation to obey the
express instruction of his county.
OF the gentlemen whose names were
presented to the State Convention for the
position of delegate at large to the Ma
tional Convention two, Mr.. Harrison
Adreon and Hon. Hart Is. Holton, were
Gates of the nomination of President
Arthur.
Will Mr.. Warburton tell us why he
disregarded the county instructions and
voted for Adreon and Holton. the Arthur
delegates at large? And will he tell us
further wht Their he voted for them be-
cause he is one of the friends of the
office holders?
Perhaps Mr.. Warburton thinks that
the genuine Blaine men of Cecil county.
of whom he is not "a recognized leader, -
do not understand that voting for out
spoken Arthur delegates was not obedi-
ence to the commands of the people as
expressed by their county convention.
Or it may be he thought that Blaine
could be nominated in spite of ".he
office-holders and their friends" and the
Offices seekers and their friends.
Which was it, Mr.. Warburton?
A BLAINE REPUBLICAN.

The First Picnic of the Season.

y company of twelve young ladies, Just
"a round dozen, on Tuesday last loaded into
Finsinger's big mill wagon and drove down
to White Hall, the old Henderson hurie-
stead, ON Elk river now owned by w. w.
Henderson, on the first picnic of the sea
son. The party was chaperoned by Mrs.
George w. Wells, and was made MP OF
Misses Daisy Scott, Hattie Lort, Mamie
Ellis, Lizzie and Oracle Wells With Miss
Mamie Williams, of Philadelphia, visitor
of theirs, Carrie McNamec. Ii1ttic and
Mary Terrell and Miss Clara pormau. Il
visitor Of the Misses Lort The team WAS
i'll charge of Mr.. Henry Ninsinger, and a
merry time was passed on the way down.
Upon arrival, the party took possession of
the fine plaza of the old mansion and the
large and beautiful lawn, and proceeded to
picnic III regular rustic fashion, The day
was splendid one, except that Il hll"il
cloud in he west in the afternoon threat
ened a storm, but it passed over without IL
drop, and every one of TIE company had
grand time. White Hall is :. very hand
some old place. The large lawn covered
with a velvety carpeting of green grass and
shaded by stately old forest and fruit trees
Is par excellence Il picnic ground. Right
in its centre stands the mansion house,
built over half a century ago, but in as
good condition as it was then. The large airy
well shaded porch in front, over looking
Elk river, and from which the steam h az;
and sailing vessels passing in and ont of
Back Creek, on their way To and from the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal can he
plainly seen, is just the place for Il summer
afternoon siesta and altogether the whole
premises cannot be eXcellrtl as Il picnic
ground. The party returned i'll the even
ing, wonderfully enthused over the result
of the first picnic OF the season. To Mr..
George Davis, the tenant upon the place,
and his amiable wife much il due for the
pleasure of the day. They welcomed the
party heartily and afforded them every ia
cility contributing to their comfort and
enjoyment.

Death of Mrs. Joseph Booth.

Mrs Barbara Ann Booth, wife of Jo
seph Booth, died at her residence near
this town last Sunday afternoon at half
past one clock, after a long and severe
illness. Mrs. Booth was born on Octo-
Der l4th, ls20, and was consequently in
1910. She married Joseph Booth, who
survives her. Eleven children was the
result of the union, six Of whom are liv-
ing. One of them, a son and the eldest
male, lost his life in the war of the rebel
lion. being killed by Il stray shell from
the enemy while on the march at the
ing, Va, to Gettysburg, in the latter part
of June, 1865, the writer Of this article
being within sight of him when he was
struck down.
Mrs. Booth was originally member
Of the Luthern church il Germantown,
Pa, but after the removal to Eliton she
transferred her membership to the Pres
bytcrian church, and for many years she
has been a consistent and V. lued men,
Der OF that church. She possessed many
admirable and beautiful traits of char
actar. She was strongly attached to the
church of her fellowship and to her fell
low members, and to the members in
charge. She was, in truth, IL mother in
Israel. Nothing was with her too great
task when it tended to strengthen the
hands Of her pastor, and almost as much
in the church will her loss be felt as in
the home circle. In the home circle she
was loving. kind and self-denying, the
central support to which the members
chung. Their loss in her death is far be-
yond the power of words to express.
Verify Were it not for the certainty of
meeting again hereafter. the loss of such
4 one would be to her family something
beyond the power of humanity to bear
up under.
Her funeral took place on Wednesday
afternoon at > o'clock Service was held
at the house, conducted by Rev. r. w.
Beers. pastor, and Rev. w. w. Heberton,
former pastor of the Presbyterian church.
The remains were inferred in the burial
ground attached to the church.

BENEFIT OF THE DOIKr.
Laconner Mail.

The Commissioners appointed by the
President to examine and report upon
the Puyallup coal road as a section Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad have
visited the Sound and completed such
examination. They were met ut Seattle
last Saturday by a committee of citizens
of that city, headed by Judge Jacobs,
who presented memorial protesting
against the acceptance of the road,
alleging that 1t was constructed some
seven years ago AS coal road up the
Puyallup valley. and terminated in q
canyon. and as such Was not suitable for
a part Of the Cascade branch. Tho OBJ
ject of the railroad company liz ap-
parent. II il can secure the adoption
of this section of coal road as part Of
the Cascade branch it matters little
whether forfei:Nre be declared or not.
With the road built and accepted on
both sides. close to the foothills of the
Cascade mountains, the company can
afford to foregO the grant for the un
completed portion across the summit Of
the range, and then take their time for
the completion of the road. The Com
missioners reoeivy d the Seattle commit
tee cordially, but claimed that 1t was
not part of their duty to take into Con-
siderttlon the question raised AS to the
legality of the adoption of the road;
that they were merely instructed TO ex-
anime and report as to the construction
and equipment Of the line. and that
they were free to say that the work was
satisfactorily performed. So the pro-
test must be considered by the Presi-
dent, ana what action he will take in
the premises remains to be- seen. If
there be any doubt about the legality of
this matter. il is clearly the duty of the
President to give the people the benefit
Of the do Ibt.
