Accident and Death.

Coroner Perry Litzenberg, of this town,
was notified early yesterday morning of the
death by accident on Thursday evening of
VIM. Campbell an industrious Irish farmer
living near the Iron Hill station on the
Newark road. The coroner, accompanied
by WING reporter, proceeded Immediately
to the scene of the accident to make inves-
legations for the purpose of an inquest. II
seems that the deceased, who is a native of
Belfast, Ireland, but who has been residing
on the farm near Iron Hill for the past
seven years, was driving horse attached
to cart over the tracks of the p. w. Il b
railroad at the above place on Thursday
evening, having just succeeded in getting
across when the south-bound train from
Philadelphia due here at 6:32 drew up to the
station. When at distance of about four
feet from the train the horse Campbell was
driving became frightened at the escaping
steam FROM the engine and, leaping, turned
the cart down the bank of the road and over
upon the body of Campbell, the whole
weight of one wheel and side of the cart
came upon the right side and chest of the
dead man producing internal injuries from
which he expired ten minutes after his re-
moval to his home. After close investiga-
ton the Coroner decided that an inquest
would be unnecessary as no blame could be
attached to the railroad company for the
cause of the accident Campbell's wife and
family reside at Rockford, Chrstiana Hun
Trad Nal, 20 al,
was removed today and from whence he will
he buried tomorrow afternoon He was is
his siXty-tirst year.

ROUNDING A LIFE ROMANCE,
Lovers who Separated Forty Years Ago
Meet by Chance and are Married.

Lovers who Separated Forty Years Ago
Meet by Chance and are Married.
The Rev. Thomas B. Myers a promi-
nent Methodist Minister of the Baltimore
Conference and who has very many
friends in this County, was married last
week to Mrs. Evina Hall of Woodberry
Baltimore County. There is a romantic
Story connected with this, his third
marriage. Forty years ago last Tuesday
the Rev. Thomas E. Myers, then young
man of 80 years, persistently courted
Miss Elvina Cobb of Baltimore county.
They afterward had misunderstanding
and parted. Although they had deep
affection for each other, they never made
any attempt to become reconciled. Two
weeks ago the couple met at Emory
Grove camp meeting for the first time
since their separation. Each had been
twice married and had buried both life
partners. Their hair was silvered and
in the case of the whilom lover time had
dealt severely with his once sturdy
frame. The matronly widow of 30 saw
before her feeble and bent form, but it
seemed none the less capable of excit-
ing romantic interest. Mr.. Myers, who
is noted for his piety and fine theological
learning, seemed t. regard the widow
with great interest, and soon became her
accepted escort in walks around the
rThara fayu frianI, Lo
camp ground who had heard of the early
romance, and the venerable lovers at
once became the subject of tender in
terest.
On the day before the camp broke up a
young Baltimore belle of Is, in passing
rapidly along favorite walk near the
the Rev. Mr.. Myers in the act of pre-
seuting bouquet of wild flowers to the
blushing widow. The gallant lover was
making graceful and courtly bow when
the astonished beauty met his gaze. He
blushed, trembled, and dropped the
flowers, and seemed overwhelmed with
confusion as the intruder turned away
with merry laugh.
The episode seemed to convince Mr..
Myers that he should clear himself of
the suspicion of flirting, and he forth
with proposed to Mrs. Hall, who, after
some persuasion, agreed to change her
name for the third time and become Mrs.
Myers. The engagement was at once
announced, and Mr.. Myers expressed his
desire to have the ceremony performed
just forty years after the date of their
separation. On the desired anniversary,
which fell on Tuesday last, they were
married. The Rev. DR.. Thomas Poulson
otficated, and the bride and groom stood
under huge silver bell while the knot
was being tied. After the ceremony
Mrs. Myers, whose friends had insisted
on attiring her in full bridal array, not
excepting the orange blossoms. was con
graduated by hundreds of her friends
and her husbands parishioners.
AS the carriage bore Mr.. and Mrs.
Myers to the depot, their ten children
and twelve grandchildren stood on the
front steps and fired rice and old slippers
after them. Mr.. Myers's two great-grand-
children, one of which was cutting its
teeth, were curious and noisy spectators.
After a two weeks stay IN New York
MIR. and Myers will return to their future
residence, a vine-covered cottage in
Woodberry.

in favor of plaintiff. The case will

takes place Tuesday morning. Many
of these have very little evidence to

Memorial Services.

On Sunday last the visitors to Trinity
Episcopal Church would have witnessed a
scene sadly impressive and solemn. Through
out the entire service of the morning memo
rial references were made to the dead Bishop
of the Diocese, and his chair on the east
side of the altar in the chancel was draped
i'll mourning and upon it rested a wreath
and sheppard's crook of handsome flowers.
The Rev. VIM. Schouler delivered touch.
ing and eloquent sermon commemorative
of the holy dead and the service of the Lit
any was used in full. The hymn "Abide
With Me" sang during the services was tue
same one rendered at the funeral as request
Ell by the Bishop. The casket containing
the remains of the beloved man passed
through Elkton on Monday morning on the
first train north. Many friends of the
Bishop in this town gathered at the station
i'll the hope of catching glimpse of the
man they mourn. 1t was a sad and sor-
rowfut little group that stood on the depot
platform when the train drew up and much
sincere grief was manifested at the sight of
the plain, unornamented casket draped in
its pail of purple and upon its lid a cross
of sweet white flowers. At noon the bell in
the tower of the church was tolled while at
the same time the casket that a few hours
before had passed the town containing its
precious remains was being lowered in the
quiet grave at EaSton. 1t is seldom the
case that any man holding public posi-
ton is held SO high in the esteem of the citi-
zcns of Elkton and the entire diocese as
was Bishop Lay. His nature was so plainly
one of greatness and grandeur yet robed in
all simplicity and mildness that all could
read and understand it and therefore all
loved and honored him. 1t is not possible
that Bishop Lay will ever be forgotten by
the parishioners of Trinity church Elkton.
few months may wipe out any immediate
memory of his particular traits but when
the seasons come wherein it was his duty to
lay hands of blessing upon the heads of the
young men and women entering under the
wings of the church his gentle couLtenance
and words of strength and hope will be
sorely missed and many eyes will glance
through tears towards the vacant chair in
the corner and then out over the fields and
trees, sadly, thoughfully, and reverentially.

-. .Hnch thing as rain
that there is no s,....-- ------ l-.----
cloud; that there is no such thing as a
drop of water descending from a cloud in
the form of a drop of water; but that all
rain, when it descends from cloud, va
Gates it's position in that cloud either as
frozen sleet or snow. Whenever we see
the sky obscured by clouds, and it does
not rain or snow then, there is warm
current of air just above The clouds, and
the PARTICLES of moisture are not frozen,
and drift onward. The old theory that
it rains when warm current of air
eomes in contact with cold current of
air, the cold current not being able to
hold the same amount of moisture in sus-
pension, is all nonsense. The moisture
is simply condensed into vapor, and
forms into cloud, and the cloud thus
formed moves on until the little particles
of moisture in the upper edge of the
cloud become frozen sleet. Then it de-
cends toward the earth, passing right
through the body of moisture, increasing
in bulk proportionately to the thickness
of the cloud which it passes through. If
there be nowarmcurrent betweenthe earth
and the cloud, then it will reach us as sleet
or snow. This is why there is always
snow on the tops of high mountains. In
the fall of the year we see snow gather
ing on the tops of high hills while it is
raining in the valley, because the warm
air melts it.
All snowflakes are of only two original
forms, namely, round balls and straight
bars. Last winter caught some large
snowhakes on black cloth, and dissected
them, aud | found that they were COM
posed of from seventy to eighty separate
little particles oil sleet, frozen whit, and
the atmosphere being damp they chung
together. When it is raining and it turns
to showing it will clear up very cold.
But when it SHOWS and then begins to
rain it will clear up warm.
Snow will reach us this fall very early,
and your readers had better order heavy
overcoats and rubber boots for the hrst
week in October They had better post
pone the boat race till the 10th, for we
will have very unpleasant weather for
several days, with heavy thunder, heavy
rains; and heavy southeast gales. But
the 10th will be clear and cold, with stiff
northwest winds.

1t will be seen by the above official analy-
sis of Sure Growth just made by the State
Chemist of Delaware that our Excellent
Wheat Fertilizer is fully up to the high
standard we have always maintained, all
of the fertilizer ingredients being somewhat
above the guaranteed standard. The SAM
pie from which this analysis was made was
drawn by the chemist in person from goods
in the railroad company's warehouse at
Middletown, Del. The new Fertilizer law
of Delaware, which was passed by the last
egislature-composed largely of farmers
and laud-owners-puts much lower val
uation on the Ingredients than the lew in
operation last year, and is believed to fairly
represent the commercial value of the
goods. ID. SCOTT Il Bro.
