A Day Of Sport.

On Saturday last the editors of this
sheet thought they would enjoy days
cunning, and at the same time reduce the
number of cartridges in Maryland. One
of them possessed gun NEW, from IL.
b. Wright & Cos extensive store in this
town and the other made borrow of
both gun and dog from kind-hearted
fellow who resides near THE LEDGER
office. The southbound train on the
morning in question conveyed the party
to Iron Hill station, where start was
made for farm house, with the ostensi-
BILE purpose of satisfying the inner-man.
To the dogs neck was attached Il
chain, and when the field was reached
after leaving the station, it was taken off,
and in about three minutes the dog took
off-making bee line for Newark. The
newspaper men stared sorrowfully after
the brute, and gave vent to some ex-
pressions of mild character, and they
at last slung their brcech-lOaders across
their shoulders and in Il little while
found themselves self-invited guests for
dinner at an old-iashioned farm house.
In the afternoon nag was hitched to Il
wagon and into it three brave sportmen
clambered. The very first thing done
was to send one of the sportsmen to
Newark for the identical dorg that made
its escape in the morning. The dog was
found, placed in wagon, and the return
trip was made without incident to where
the two gunners were. The dog was
again let loose, and it was not long before
covey of birds were found, and per-
feet cannonading was INDUCED in, but
for some reason the shot failed of its
mission, and no birds dropped. Whether
this insulted the dog, we cannot say, but
one thing is certain, that canine parted
company with the noble sportsmen, and
returned to its home. This ended the
days sport, and the editors, after con-
sulting each other, came to the conclu-
sion that the whole trouble was caused
by setter.

MEssRs. EDITORs.-Youre editorial about
new enterprises being brought into our
town is all very nice to talk about. The
question is how is it to be done? If you
or any other enterprising go-ahead indi-
vidual had the money to do it, then it
would be worth while talking about it,
but like yourself, not being able to give
the enterprise boost, there is no law
against expressing ones own views, pro-
viding it does not injuriously interfere
with our neighbors. This latter will try
to steer clear of. Now allow sugges-
ton. Let those gentlemen who own
land in and around the town mo harm
in naming them as they are all well
known, Rev. Mr. Malone, Geo. G, Evans,
S. NJ Donnell, Theo. f. Armstrong, John
L. Lewis, James Hossinger, Edwin Lewis,
Thos. Maxwell, VIM. Dean, Joseph Dean,
w. Atmore Woodrow, and any other
land-holder who might see fit to join
them, enter an agreement to each give
half an acre, or as much more as they
might choose, to any person or corpora
ton that would put up buildings and
start some productive enterprise in the
way of manufacturing, and at the same
time each one subscribe, say ten dollars,
as fund for the purchase of such infiu-
ence as printers ink would bring to bear,
and put S. NJ Donnell or other person as
their agent, to advertise the advantages
of our town as a railroad centre, and well
calculated for manufacturing town with
its healthy location, cheap living, low
rate of taxes, beautiful surroundings, its
excellent facilities for getting to the great
centres of trade-Baltimore Philadel-
phia, and New York, with cheap railroad
transportation, with coal as cheap as at
any of the great centres named. Now,
why cannot the thing be done. If we sit
down and wait for others to come and
bring us out of the old ruts, we may be
allowed to die in them. Yet if the per-
sons named mean business and take hold
of the thing, determined to make it go,
then there is no reason why our town
should not be second only to Whining
ton, as the largest and most enterprising
town on the Peninsula OF course it is
easy to talk, but when that is all you are
able to do in such an enterprise, it at
least shows a willingness on the part OF
the individual who will do even that
little, Well, those named, who are able
to show like willingness, if they will
there is no reason then why all our will

chanics may not soon be fully employed
in the erection of buildings to further
such an enterprise. Who is the man tc
say he is ready to join in such an under
taking, Let him give his name to you,
and when five have shown readiness
let them call on the others, and the thing
will be sure to 90. ONE OF TIE PEOPLE.

On Saturday night night last, rob-
berry was committed at the freight ware
house, near Newark station. An en-
trance was effected by drawing the sta
pie from the door. Thirty pounds of
sugar, belonging to j. w. Kennedy, and
pair Of boots from the goods of &. ].
Smith, both living short distance from
this town. Nothing else was missed,
but it is thought the thief took bag of
flour, as there was quantity stored in
building. The party who committed
this robbery evidently had taken a sur
vey before an entrance was effected.
Two boxes of boots were broken open
before the thief could find a pair that
would fit his feet

WRECK OF THE ALG0MA.
ONLY II PERSONS SAVED OUT OF 90 ON
BOARD.


The story of the disaster as related by
Captain Moore, is that the Algoma pass
ed through st. mary's Canal, bound for
Port Author Ont, last Friday afternoon.
Soon after reaching Lake Superior the
wind began to freshen up from the
northwest, and great bank of leaden
clouds along the northern horizon de-
noted the approach Of heavy weather.
Realizing, however, that the Algoma was
one of the strongest and most powerful
steamers ahoat, and we'll able to cope
with even severe gale, Captain Moore
kept her on her course. But as night
approached the wind continued to in
crease in violence, and by dark had de-.
veloped into one of the fiercest and
most destructive gales ever experienced
in the Upper Lakes. As the gales in
creased the sea began to make, and be-
fore midnight Lake Superior was lashed
into wilderness of seething foam.
While the tempest screeched and howl
ed, great seas swept completely over the
struggling steamer. The situation was
made all the more terrible by binding
snow storm that set in before morning.
1t was impossible to see the length of the
steamer.
The passengers and crew were terrified
beyond measure and momentarily ex-
pected to see the steamer plunge to the
bottom. By instructions of Captain
Moore the officers circulated among the
passengers, trying to allay their fears.
They were panic-stricken, however, and
huddlcd together in the cabin, where
the screams and prayers of the women
and children could be heard above the
laundering of the gale.
Saturday morning Isle Royal was sigh
ted, and Captain Moore headed the
steamer for Rock Harbor, where he hop
ed to gain shelter. The island forms
natural harbor of refuge, but near the
entrance she struck the reef There was
terrific shock, and then the steamer
came to full stop. The passengers
rushed out of the cabin and beseeched
officers to tell them what had happened.
1--WE are ON Il reef" replied the Captain
"but if you will only keep as calm as
possible l trust all will be safely land
ed" Just then one ofthe crew reported
that the steamers bottom had been
punctured and that she was filling with
water. The boats were at once got in
readiness and all started to leave the
steamer but just as they were about to
lower them the steamer, slipped off the
reef and disappeared with an angry roar.
The water was covered with struggling
forms of men and women, and then all
was over. Only fourteen lived to tell
the tale. These got into one of the boats
but were powerless to save themselves,
as they were without oars. Captain
Moore, however, wrenched footboard
from the bottom of the boat, and with
that as a paddle succeeded in working
the boat to the island, where the suryiv-
ors We're picked up by the Arthabasea.

We were informed by person, living
in proximity of this town, the reason

A lady recently heard that if corn was
roasted on the cob, and given to pigs

stove. When asked what they were fol
he replied, "the cow" When he was in

We noticed that several papers COPIED

giving you credit, of Mr.. Mcallister's ac

informed. McAllister drove the team t.

Sad Accident.
A Young MAN KILLED BY THE EXPLOSION
OF AN OLD GUN.


On Thursday morning young man
named Edward Brown who lived with
Mr.. Magee, was time-keeper on the b. and
o. Railroad, borrowed an old single bar
rel muzzle-loading gun from Mr.. j, r.
Hill, of this town, to 90 cunning, and if
he liked the gun would give the price
asked by Mr.. Hill. Sometime about nine
o'clock, the young man, with the gun on
his shoulder, was seen passing up the
b. and o. Railroad toward Wilmington,
in company with a smaller boy The boy
left the unfortunate young man, at the
lower end of town. Several parties
heard shots from gun, and the last one
heard was little after ten o'clock. A
train came along on the railroad, going
north, about quarter to twelve o'clock,
and one of the men on the train saw
man lying in field on Mr.. James Nor
rows farm. The young man was lying
on his back and some of the men on the
train paid but little attention to it, sup
posing it was drunken man. One of
the men, however, saw blood on the
mans face; the train was stopped and
one of the men went to where the body
lay, and CHASTITY sight met his eyes.
The forepart of the head was torn away
the brains scattered about, and hole
large enough to put ones fist in, was ex-
posed to view. 1t was indeed sicken-
ing sight. The unfortunate fellow was
not dead, and at once the engine was
cut loose from the train and ran back to
this town, distance of about one mile
and notified several persons of the acct
dent. Mr.. John f. Lewis had pair of
horses harnessed to wagon, a mattress
placed therein, and getting a doctor
started to where the young man was.
The man had laid out in the field sew
eral hours when discovered, and had
pulled what brains he could get hold of
out, and there it lay about his head and
bydy. 1t was found on examination that
a portion of the gun had struck the
man directly in the middle of the fore
head. One eye was knocked out, and he
was terrible looking sight. As ten
derby as possible the body was lifted
from the ground and placed in the wagon
on the mattress, and was conveyed to
this town.
The breech of the gun could not be
found and many conjectured that it was
in the young mans head This is hardly
so. The stock was torn in several pieces
We examined the gun barrel, and il
looks as though it had been broken be-
fore and was badly mended. 1t is won
der that it held together rs long as it did
because there was nothing visible thai
held the breech and barrel together. Blu
the young man may have been testing
the shooting qualities of the gun ant
over loaded, and caused the accident; Of
not knowing much about gun, may
have loaded it so as to cause the eXplo
sion.
The news of the shooting spread owe
town quickly, and many were on thu
watch for the wagon containing thu
body. As the wagon passed along tn,
street eager faces tried to get a look a
the suffering man, and large humble
followed along after the wagon. TIL
accident seemed to throw gloom owe
the whole town, and nothing else wa
talked of but the accident. The youn
man died on Friday at quarter to lively
o'clock.

Through the wood and DER the field
How my heart is singing,
While the sun is on the lake
And the bells are ringing
On l gayly take my way
To a creaky landing,
There little boat is tied
And a lad is standing.
Forth he comes to welcome me
Joy is in his greeting;
All the lad, know, has longed
For this happy meeting,
In the boat take my place,
Tie my kerchief tightly
Oh I! it is bonny boat
Riding on so lightly,
Through the rushes on we go,
Pulling swift and neatly;
Past the lilies on we go,
Laddie talking sweetly.
Can l help if in my heart
Just for joy is singing
With the lad and on the lake
While the bells are ringing.
