In the s'Wriggling" Observation-Disclosures
Street,, of the Belair Democrat, says in his issue
of last week "THE BALTIMORE COUNTY UNION
should bear in mind that whatever facility the
Democrat may have for 'wrigging out of tight
place. it has not the capacity for wriggling
into one as our esteemed contemporary. 1t has
not been long since it wriggled into Col. Hyde's
canning house and wrigged out of it several
of the Coils best and we would not be sur
prised to hear before long of the genial editors
wriggling into the Coils ice mint and '0ld Sher-
wood house and abstracting several cases of his
famous Combination and the probabilities are
that he will do it without an 'order.'"
Right you are COL Hyde knows our capacity
as we'll as our appreciation of good things, and
| therefore occasionally remembers US. We know
| all this makes Brother STREET. green with envy,
but we can't help it, although we must confess to
certain degree of sorrow for him. We can't be
blamed because he was built the wrong way.

Christmas Trees Make Trouble.-Mr.

E. Bagley, who lives on Chestnut Ridge, Sth dis
trct, got himself into rather unpleasant fix on
Tuesday. He was on his way to the city with a
big load of Christmas trees and going down Mary
land avenue, in the Belt, the trees came in COLI
sion with horse car of the Union line, smashing
nearly all the glass on one side and otherwise
damaging it. The county police arrested Bagley
and took him before Justice Dorsey, where Mr..
Robbins, superintendent of the car line, appeared
against him and demanded that he pay the dam
age done to the car. This Bagley was unable to
do and Mr.. Robbins held his team and load as Sc
curity until the money is forthcoming.

Terrible Experience of Mother-She
Risks Her Life to Save Her Children
On Saturday evening last Mrs. Elizabeth Gist,
wife of Benjamin Gist, who lives near Westmin-
ster, purchased q can of coal oil, carried it home
and placed it on the floor, near the stove. She
went into an adjoining room to remove her cloak,
and her little son, aged four years, took up the
oil can and poured its contents on the fire. An
explosion occurred, and in an instant the boy and
a baby nine months old, lying in a cradle, were
in flames. The mother smelled the burning oil,
rushed in and seized the baby, carried it out and
buried it in the snow. Returning for the boy, she
did the same thing with him. In rescuing her
children the mothers own clothing caught fire,
which she extinguished by rolling in the snow
All her clothing was burned from her body and
she was horribly burned about the face, neck,
breast, side and back, and in that condition drew
several buckets of water with which she quenched
the flames in the house. She then ran about FIVE
hundred yards to neighbours, and physician
was summoned. Her injuries are very serious,
but it is thought she will recover. One of the
children is believed to be fatally burned.

That Sleigh Ride.-The Trenton correspon-
dent of the Hampstead Enterprise says: "The
Coon" did run away with Mary, from what 1 can
learn from the BALTIMORE COUNTY UNION, and
they passed through Towsontown. Mary was
driving, THE UNION further adds, and says it is
no use to tell; he was only holding her to keep
her from falling out, the dear creature"
We don't get the idea of the above exactly, but
the following from the Belair Democrat is too
pointed to need any explanation: :,
"Brother Lomgnecker's Sleigh Ride.-He thus
describes it in last weeks UNION '"A cutter
passed through Towsontown about clock Tues
day evening, in which was seated young couple.
The girl was driving and the horse was going at a
snaiPs pace. The young fellow-but what's the
use, everybody knows he was only holding her
for fear she would fall out, the dear creature"
The fact of the business is the couple alluded
to came from Hartford. We knew the man we'll
and he had that unmistakable look of I-dont-care-
i'll doishness which is only noticed in the men
of that county. 1t was only because of our res
pect for Brother Streets feelings that did not
give this fact at the time.

Disappearance Of Prominent Farmer
Supposed Case Of Suicide.-Mr. William
F. Wilmington, prominent farmer of the I'd dis
trict of Anne Arundel county, and brother of
Pref. Jos. S. Wilmington principal of the public
school at Waverly, Baltimore county, mysterious
ly disappeared on Monday last. He left his home
in the afternoon, telling his wife that he had bust
ness with neighbor and was last seen at store
in Waterbury, about o'clock the same evening.
When he left the store, where nothing unusual
was noticed about him, it was supposed that he
had gone home, but not having reached there by
midnight, his wife became uneasy and sent mes
senger out to look for him. He was not found
but the next morning his horse returned home
alone. The neighbors were then informed of his
disappearance and they started out to look for the
missing man. Some of the searchers soon found
tracks in the snow where Mr.. Wilmington had
gotten off his horse, and following these tracks
they were led to the Severn river. Here they
found, wedged in the new made ice some distance
from the shore, a boat in which were lying the
missing mans hat and a number Of papers which
were recognized as belonging to him. 1t was then
apparent to them that he had committed suicide
by jumping into the river. Search was then made
for the body and it was not found until Wednes-
day afternoon.
Mr.. Wilmington was active Republican pol
itician and strict member of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. Up to last fall he held position in
the Internal Revenue office in Balto., which place
he resigned to accept the nomination for sheriff
on the fusion ticket in his county, for which office
he was beaten by only small majority. 1t is be-
lieved that he got into financial difficulties by en-
dorsing for other people, and that this 50 preyed
upon his mind as to cause him to take his own
life. His wife is daughter of Hon. r. d. Wood
ward, Chief Judge of the Orphans Court of Anne
Arundel county.

Discussing Preachers Salaries.-At the
meeting of the Methodist Episcopal Preachers
Association in Baltimore, on Monday last, the
subject of supplementing insufficient salaries of
preachers was discussed. The proposition, which
was fully discussed at the last session of the Bal
timore Conference is to assess two per cent. upon
all the salaries of the preachers, and where mar
ried preacher receives less than 500 year, to
make up that sum for him, and to make the mini
mum salary of an unmarried preacher $500 per
annum; that is, to make up that sum in case he
does not receive so much from the congregation
be serves. number of the preachers claimed
that it was altogether q matter for the preachers
to deal with, and that no action should be taken
to interest the laymen in the subject.
1t is quite time that something be done in this
matter, as the salaries of some preachers re-
diculously small-in fact entirely inadequate to
support them decently. In honorable calling like
this a man should receive q salary commensurate
with the dignity of his Office, but how can married
preacher, with family of three or four children,
the expense of keeping horse, carriage, DO,
support himself respectfully on less than $500 a
year 1t cannot be done, and the sooner both
preacher and people wake up to this fact the bet
ter. It is simply disgraceful that some Metho-
dist ministers are compelled to live as they do,
with barely the necessaries of life, and these only
obtained at the cost of much effort to themselves.
How can a man preach the gospel acceptably
when harassed with the thought that to procure
the actual necessaries of life he must run himself
in debt, which is even worse than being obliged
to importuue his congregation for money-money
that he has earned long before and cant get-to
keep the wolf from the door? Let the people take
it to themselves-place themselves in the position
of the poory-paid minister-and perhaps they
will endeavor to make the pathway of the man Of
God smoother.
