The President and his Bride Go Trout-fishing
near Deer Park,
The correspondent of the Bait. Sun WI

The correspondent of the Bait. San writ
ing from Deer Park, Nd, says =
'The fishing trip Saturday was about the
only interesting feature of the day. Presi-
dent Cleveland is somewhat of a fisherman,
and his usual good luck attended him. The
objective point of the trip is known as Deep
creek-a good trout stream about five miles
back of Deer Park in northwesterly direc-
ton. tbs Oh the place of G.. P. Brandt,
who extended the President an invitation to
make use of it during his stay here. The
spot is very romantic, well wooded, and
with plenty of good firm ground along the
stream. Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland occupied
their own carriage, and Mr.. and Mrs. Davis
were in separate one of their own, with
their little son. They took along for bait
only worms, and it is said that Mr.. Davis
himselfdug the worms that were to be i'm
paled on the presidential hook. The start
was made after lunch at Mr.. Davis's cottage
in the afternoon, and fully three hours were
spent bobbing for the spotted beauties. The
President landed twenty nice trout, some of
them fourteen inches long. Ex-Sena tor
Davis asserts that Mrs. Cleveland also
caught some fish, but will not say how
many. Altogether about forty fish were
caught, and the party returned with good
appetites and fair-sized basket of trout.
The President said he was very well pleased
with his days sport, and would like to try
it again. He said also that he did not go so
much to catch fish as to find out if there
were any to be caught "for," he remark
ed Lamont is coming up and he is very
/ fond of fishing, and I'll try it for him. On
the way back three young ladies rushed
from cottage and each presented Mrs.
Cleveland with pretty bouquet. Both the
President and his wife paid more attention
this time to the possible effects of the sun.
He had left his high silk hat at home and
wore grey SLOUGH. Mrs. Cleveland wore
her straw hat, the little bonnet being for
the time discarded. The trout of this coun-
try are hard to get at, except by permission.
All the streams are owned by the proprietors
of the places through which they pass, and
cannot bs fished without permission. Good
sized trout bring readily from 40 to so cents
a pound.o

The President and Bride at Deer Park.

DEER PARK, Md, June 3.-President
Cleveland and his bride arrived here at 4
O'Clock this morning, and are domiciled in
one of the cottages attached to the hotel.
There are but few persons here. as there
was no knowledge that the bridal party
would come. President and Mrs. Cleve-
land are sojouring very quietly. A large
influx of visitors is looked for as soon as it
is known the newly married couple are
here.
The place which has been selected for the
Presidential honeymoon is on crest of the
Alleghanies. The house is what is known
as the cottage of ex Senator Henry Davis,
of West Virginia. Deer Park is 5000 feet
above the sea. The Davis cottage is stu
ated about half a mile east of the Deer
Park Hotel in the midst of a group of cot
ages, among which those of Harrison Gar
rett, Miss Mary Garrett, daughter of the
late John w. Garrett, and of Stephen
ElklIs are the most conspicuous.
1t is a large tw0-story frame house, con-
structed especially by the owner for the
use of his family in the summer. 1t is in
the centre of the grove, and is upon one of
finest driveways, forty miles of which have
recently been constructed through the
grove and park. The President and his
bride will find abundant use for the horses
which his friends have provided for him in
this mountain retreat.
The drives are charming feature of the
place, the roads being particularly we'll
constructed, and as smooth and even almost
as race-tracks. The President will not be
annoyed by the presence of guests at the
hotel at Deer Park and Oakland, as those
hotels are not opened until later in June.

Gov. HILL FALLS IN LovE.-An Albany
IN. " dispatch says :"Gov. Hill is in
love, and it is reported that he will emulate
President Cleveland S illustrious example by
bidding adieu to bachelorhood. A wealthy
young widow of this city is said to have
ensnared his affections, and the circles of
society of which she is an honored and
charming member are greatly interested
over their reported engagement. Al
though the lady is native of this city she
does not now reside here, but it is whis-
pered that she presides over a little brown
cottage in Elmira, where the Governor
lives when at home. The lady is also
we'll known in this city, having spent the
better part of her two winters here since
the demise of her husband, some five years
ago. Colonel Doubleday, Of Chemung
county, N. Y, who is on his way home
from his Idaho ranches, states that he met
very intimate friend of Governor Hill at
St. Louis few days ago, who asserted that
the marriage of the Governor would take
place this fall"

DR.. SUNDERLAND's WEDDING Fee

gave the Rev. Dr. Sunderland was brand.
new greenback fresh from the the treas
sury. DR.. Sunderland will have it framed,
but he will not put it on exhibition. He
will, however, permit all couples who come
to him to be married to have peep at it. =
The right will be apt to excite the iberality
of future bridegrooms, and so the worthy
Doctor may not be the worse off by refrain
ing from putting his hundred dollars into
circulation. He has had but little rest
since the wedding for the appeals of people
for his impressions as to the manner in
which the bridal couple conducted them
selves through the ceremony, but he keeps
as quiet as the sphinx.

An extraordinary series of trasical eve MT

An extraordinary series of tragical events
have marked the career of the distinguished
author of "The Star-Spangled Banner"
His eldest son, an officer of the United
States Navy, was slain in duel by
brother officer; another son, Philip Barton
Key, United States District Attorney for
Washington, D. c., was slain in the ST. eets
of that city by New York rough named
Sickles; and very recently Alice Key Pen
dleton, a daughter wife Of Hon. George H.
Pendleton, United States Minister to Ger
many, met violent death in Central Park
by being pitched headlong from carriage.
Surely the family history of the brave sol
der and patriot who, from the prison of
British ship during the war of 1912, COM
posed that most inspiring of all our patri-
otto airs, has borne more than it's burden
of SORROWS and bereavements.- Richmond

COLLISION, RUNAWAY AND SMAsHUP.-
On Tuesday evening last as Capt. W. w.
Roller was driving into town in his buggy,
accompanied by Miss Carrie Chambers, he
met Mr.. Wetsel, on horseback, riding
very rapidly, on the pike just opposite J.
pretty fast, and Mr.. W. was riding pretty
fast, and it is thought the fore wheel of the
buggy struck the horse, causing a sudden
stoppage, and frightening Capt. Rollers
animal, which turned short round, ever
turning the buggy and throwing the occu-
pants out. Mr.. Wetsel was thrown from
his horse, also, but we are glad to learn
that none of the parties were seriously hurt,
although all received painful bruises. The
buggy was considerably wrecked. Rock

Banks and Honesty hanged in Winchester.

Wesley Honesty and Tabby Banks,
both colored, were hung in the Jail yard
at Winchester last Friday for the murder
of Joseph McFaul, white.
Both claimed to be innocent, and both
professed conversion. The particulars of
their crime are as follows -
A procession celebrating the election OF
Cleveland and Hendricks came off on Fri
day night, Nov. IA, 1884. Banks and
Honesty, two full-grown and powerful
negroes, trav ersed the route, threatening
to kill some democrat. Joseph McFaul, a
white youth of Is years, of kindly DISPOSE
ton and much respected, while on his way
home from the demonstration stepped into
an alley opposite the Taylor Hotel. Banks
and Honesty, who were in the same alley,
Immediately attacked him. The evidence
showed that McFaul had nothing but a
small walking cane to defend himself with,
and as he was pressed, told them to keep
their distance. Several witness were pass
ing at the time. One of them took McFaul
by the arm and led him out on the pave
ment, some ten or fifteen steps. The
negroes following, rushed upon McFaul.-
Honesty, collaring him. pushed him up
against the house. Banks cried out,
''Stick to him, Wes." Honesty drew back
and with rock struck McFaul with great
force near the left temple. As he reeled
and staggered across the street, Banks
threw at him, hitting him in the side.-
McFaul went home to Mr.. William Keat-
ing's, being in the employ of Heating
Bros, and retired. He occupied the same
bed with Mr.. Green. teacher in the Catholic
parochial school in Winchester. During
the night he died. A post-mortem being
held, it was discovered that his skull was
fractured. Banks was tried first at the
December, 1884, term of the Corporation
Court; the jury after being out 10 minutes,
rendered verdict of murder in first degree.
The case was appealed. Honesty was
tried in January, 1885; jury disagreed and
was discharged. A Staunton jury being
summoned, another trial was held, result
ing in conviction. This case was also ap-
pealed, but the Court of Appeals refused
both new trials.

In the old Virginia journal which repro
duced the article from the World, we OBJ
serve references, shortly afterwards, to MIR.
VIM. Hotopp, then citizen of New York,
who bought the "Penn Park" farm, near
Charlottesville, and Immediately COM
menced grape-culture as an investment for
money profit Shortly afterwards, came
another Northern gentleman, Mr.. j. W.
Porter, who commenced his vineyards on
the sMonroe Mountain" Mr.. Hotopp, we
believe, is regarded as the founder of grape
culture in Albemarle as a commercial in
dustry. Year by year it has expanded
Wine-making shortly afterwards followed,
with the same object in view. "The Mon
ticello Wine Company" under the man
agement of Mr.. o. Reirson. is now large
establishment, and is shipping its product
in all directions over the country. The Com
pany has large capital, and is fostering
grape-culture with fine profit to the grow
ers. Mr.. Hotopp has, and perhaps other
gentlemen have, wine-vaults and cellars,
and are making standard brands for their
products.
Whilst our Fairs have been favored here
tofore with exhibitions of the Albemarle
wines, the renewed interest which has been
awakened i'll material development, and
the additional progress made in that indus
try, will insure the largest display that has
ever been made here.
If our recollection be correct, the ''Fruit.
growers Association" of Albemarle and
adjacent country had an exhibition last
September, and we suppose it will have an
other during that month in this year. If
so, the Baldwin District Fair management,
as well as the citizens of Staunton and Au-
gusta generally, should attend it in large
numbers. Not only in the reciprocity of
mutual interests and friendships would that
be the right thing to do, but we will see
and learn more in few days spent there in
communion with those scientifically and
practically informed, than we can through
any other means at our command. Our
hay-crop will be housed, the product of our
wheat-felds will be in the cameron per-
haps the money for it in our pockets; the
corn will have had all the work we can
give it, and no pressure except that of Fall
sowing upon us. So let us 60 over in force

the mountain-if they have their Fall gath

top of the fre-bell tower, sixty feet high,

Stewart stepped to the edge of the tower and
was leaning against corner post looking
over the country, when the janitor, not
knowing of the presence of the ladies,
seized the bell-rope to call meeting of the
fire company. The sudden clang of the
great bell startled Miss Stewart and she
plunged from the dizzy height to the
pavement. She was carried into neigh
boring house, when it was discovered that
both legs were badly crushed, that the feet
had heen driven to within few inches of
the knees, that the bones of her left arm
were broken into splinters and that five
ribs on the right side were broken and torn
loose from the spine. She was alive when
picked up, but there is no hope for her re-
covery.

A READABLE FISH SToRY.-The citizens

easy way to catch suckers when they run
up the Johns river. There is dam at
Colletsville, and the fish make many at
tempts to climb the waterfall. Baskets are
fastened to the top of the dam so that they
will hang just under the water, and the
suckers, failing in their efforts to climb the
falls, drop back into the baskets. Four
hundred were thus caught one morning
