A Marrow Escape.

During the taking on of the pas
sengers at the Ferry wharf last even
ing, the gang plank gave way, and
came near precipitating a number of
persons in the Severn River, bat
fortunately the steamer just reached
the platform in time to save q second
Trivoli accident. The gang-plank or
platform is built to the wharf and
lowers and raises by means of pull
ley, and is so arranged as TO meet the
ferry boat as it touches the wharf
Just before reaching the wharf the
Captain sang out-"No more than
forty can get aboard" This caused
as many as possible to get on the
platform gang way, which gave way
Just in time for the edge of the steam
er to catch it. Had there been a
seconds delay mass of human beings
would have been precipitated in the
Severn Under the steamer.

The Free Scholarships.
Annapolis, Aug. %. 8

AHhdPoiiS, mug. -, cos
Mr.. EDITOR In referring to the
free scholarships in Western Mary
land College in your issue Of yester-
day, you stated that 'the last three
scholarships to Western Maryland
College from this county, have come
from the female department Of the
Annapolis public school," This is
an error. The last free scholarship
Miss Alma DuvalI, who graduated at
the last commencement Of that insti-
tuition, was from ST. Mays College,
this city, and not the female public
school 1t is no more than right to
give credit to whom credit is due.

At a meeting last night of the
Young Mems Democratic CLUB of
Annapolis, the following Resolution
was adopted
" hereas. The success and welfare
Of the Democratic party Of Anne
Arundel county for a number Of wears
has been disastriously affected by
factional contests;
AND whereas, Believing that these
factional contests have been the lepiti /.
mate outgrowth of the personal am
bltion OF a few individual members of
the party who have sought to make
che permanent prosperity and success
OF the whole party subseryent to
their own interests:
And whereas, Being fully con-
vinced by the course of the recent
National Canvass, which resulted in
the election and Inauguration of Groy-
er Cleveland; and the warm approval
which his administration Is receiving
from the great mass of the people
because of his evident sincerity and
honesty Of purpose, that a new and
better condition Of politics is about to
obtain;
And being fully convinced, that in
the coming primary elections to be
held in our county, the success Of the
party in county and State will be best
promoted by returning to the simple
and straight toward methods Of the
past.-now so aptly illustrated in the
example OF President Cleveland-the
head of the party in the nation;
BE itresolved, That we recommend
Messrs, II. III Welch, Jno. w. Mar
tin, Edward Powers, Z G. CAN'T and
John II. Rawlings, to the Democrat
&c voters Of Annapolis as suitable per-
sons to be elected as delegates to the
county convention to be held in An
napolis on the 9Th day of September
next.
And that no pledge or promise of
any character be expected from them,
but that they be requested to vote in
said convention for such men and
measures as in their Judgment will be
for the best interests of the whole
Democratic party of Annapolis and
Anne Arundel county.

unable to Land Her PASSENGERS.


The steam ferry-boat, Bergen
Point" took down to Bay Ridge
about Z O'Clock last night, some 200 or
more passengers to witness the grand
display of fireworks to be given there
at night, but owing to the number of
small boats that crowded the wharf,
it was impossible for the captain to
get near enough to land his passen-
gers. This caused a great deal of
dissatisfaction, and at one time it
was feared trouble would be the re-
suit. All were anxious to get on
shore, and the Captain, who saw the
difficulty and danger of landing his
passengers in the darkness of the
night, under such circumstances,
knew there would be great risk if
be attempted to do so. Bots were
lying at the wharf three and four
abreast, and theft owners were up 90
the beach, and there was no one to
remove them-hence the steamer aid
to return to Annapolis with her pas
sengers, who were greatly disappoint-
eda, nd demanded their passage fare.
1t was not until late hour at night
that the steamer was able to reach the
Bay Ridge wharf to bring back the
passengers she took down st noon.

AN o1D-TIME soHooL-MAsrER

A hundred and fifty years ago, among
the German settlers of Pennsylvania,
there was remarkable old schOol-mas-
ter, whose name was Christopher Dock.
For three days he taught school ut a
little place called Skippack, and then
for the next three days he taught at Sal
ford.
Whenever one of his younger schol-
ars succeeded in learning his A b C.,
the good Christopher Dock required
the father of his pupil to give his son a
penny, and also asked his mother to
cook two eggs for him as treat in honor
of his diligence. To poor children i'm a
new country these were fine rewards.
At various other points in his progress,
an industrious child in one of Dock s
er and two eggs cooked by his mother.
All this time he was not counted MEM
Der of the school, but only as on proba-
ton. The day on which boy or girl
began to read was the great day. If the
pupil had been diligent in spelling, the
master, on the morning after the first
reading day, would give ticket care
fully written or illuminated with his
own hand. This read: "Industrious-
one penny" This showed that the
scholar was now really received into
the school.
There were no clocks or watches; the
children came to school one after anoth-
er, taking their places near the master,
who sat writing. They spent their time
in reading out of the Testament until all
were there. But every one who sue
ceeded in reading his verse without mis-
take stopped reading, and came and sat
at the writing table to write. The poor
fal xuhA xnt,nasnn1 oct Tho al
was called Lazy Scholar.
The funniest of Docks rewards was
that which he gave to those who made
no mistake in their lessons. He mark
ed a large D with chalk on the hand of
the perfect scholar. Fancy what time
the boys and girls must have had trying
to 90 home without rubbing out this o!
