Suicide of David wink-Removals-Impr
ments-Land Sale


Considerable excitement was caused at this
place on last Monday evening when Henry
Eburg brought in the news that Daniel Wink,
residing about three miles east of town, in
what is called the Alban Corner. had COM
mitted suicide by hanging Although rain
was pouring down in torrents, Squire Male
horn and Constable Lamotte secured a jury,
who. after examining the body, rendered a
verdict of suicide by strangulation. As there
was no evidence taken before the corner, we
have no accurate knowledge of the cause; but
from outside reports he was not of sound mind.
He possessed lot of several acres and about
$40 were found on his person, so that want
was not the cause. Mrs. Rush, who kept
house for him, says that dispute arose be-
tween them short time before she found him
hanging from rafter in the garnet, over cut
ting her child hair. He was about 40 years
old.
No less than twenty-eight families changed
houses in Hampstead, on or about the first
Those moving from town were Harry Snyder,
to Upperco; David Brummel, to Fairview;
Mr. Kemp to Baltimore, and Jacob Ebaugh
to his new house near Brilhart's Mill. Those
moving into town were Adam Deal and Gus
Palmer, from Manchester, Pa; E. Snyder and
John Albaugh, from Snydersburg; Emanuel
Shaffer and Andrew J. Plowman, from near
Mt. Union Mills; Shelman Garrett, from
Baltimore county, and Frank Rutledge from
Westminster.

Garden working has been indefinitely post
poned.
A convention to nominate mayor and coun-
cilmen will be held in Eckenrode's Hall on
Monday evening, 18th inst.
Persons intending to build this summer are
taking advantage of the reduction in prices of
lumber in Rendollar's yard. The conse-
quences are a general rush and business brisk.
The public school building here has been
found totally inadequate to odate
our school going population. There are three
rooms with that many teachers, with an at
tendance this winter of 1877 pupils. What is
wanted is an enlargement and more teachers.
We understand Prof. Yates has been cor
responding with parties relative to opening a
high school in this place. 1t is hoped he will
come here; no better opening can be found else
where. Prof Yates abilities are well known
to many people of this community, who would
be only too willing to second any or all efforts
he would make in that direction. Several
buildings well adapted for that purpose will
soon be offered for sale, and we presume also
for rent.
The Western Maryland Railroad will, as we
learn, shortly build large and commodious
office and waiting room at Frederick juno
ton. The antiquated structure, strikingly
familiar to all persons who have had the
pleasure of spending much time there waiting
for trains, will be retired The new building
will be opposite the old one, across the w.
NJ. R. R. A new drive has been surveyed to
it from the public road. Changes are being
made at the siding also. More switching is
being added. Our next hope is that more
commodious schedule will be brought forward.

The Use of the Knife in Sicily.

A horribly deed of blood committed near
Girgenti gives an illustration of the use of the
knife in the Island of Sicily. Two butchers,
father and son, of the name Of lndelicato,
who kept shop in that town, not long since
took two brothers named Alfonso and Giovanni
Cannetoni into partnership. Before long the
Cannetonis began to trade in lambs carcasses
separately on their own account, and disagree
ments arose, which ultimately led to a collis-
ion between Baldassare Indelicato and Alfonso
Cannetoni. They drew their butchers knives
from their belts on each other. Alfonso aimed
a well-directed blow at Baldassare. He par
ried it with his left arm. which was cut to the
bone, and at the same instant drove his knife
into the heart of Alfonso, who fell dead on
the spot. At that moment young son OF
Alfonso, aged 10, came up with abludgeon to
his fathers assistance. Baldassare struck
him to the ground, and then cut his throat
across, ''as he would have slaughtered a
Sheep Mad with rage, Baldassare then
rushed into the shop, and taking Giovanni,
the brother of Alfonso, by surprise, killed
him with a slash across the abdomen. Turn
ing then to leave the shop, he inflicted seri-
GUS wound on person just entering. All
this occurred within the space Of four minutes,
the result of the collision being three persons
killed and two wounded.

CHARGED WITH TWO OFFENCES.

Jacob Storms, commonly called "Molly
Jakes," for two years past has kept shoe
makers shop in the upper story of building
adjoining the ware house of n. /. Gorsuch &
Son, this city. In addition to shoemaking,
! he keeps a little store, selling cigars, tobacco,
cider, confectionery, &c. 1t is alleged that
his place has been the scene of frequent dis
orders, and the row, which ended in sort Of
prize fight last Sunday, began there.
Those doing business in the neighborhood,
and others, have complained of the place, and
on Wednesday information was made before
Justice p. B. Mikesell, charging Storms with
maintaining a nuisance, and selling on
Sundays, and two warrants were issued for
his arrest. Armed with these Constable
John Thomson arrested Storms and took
him before the justice. To selling on Sunday
Storms confessed, and was bailed in the sum
of $50 for the action OF the grand jury. To
the charge of maintaining a nuisance, in
keeping a disorderly house. he demanded a
hearing, and will contest the matter. The
hearing is set for next Wednesday, when
States Attorney Henning will represent the
State, and McKellip & Clabaugh will appear
for the accused.
AS to selling on Sunday the law is very
strict and plain. Here is an extract from Sec
ton 125, article Y, Revised Code;
PO'S
of, barter, or if dealer in any one or more
of the articles of merchandise in this Sec
ton mentioned, shall give away on the
Sabbath day, commonly called Sunday, any
tobacco, cigars, candy, soda or mineral waters,
spirituous or fermented liquors, cordials,
lager beer, wine, cider, or any other goods,
wares, or merchandise whatsoever, and any
person violating any one of the provisions of
this section shall be liable to indictment in
any court in this State having criminal juris-
diction, and upon conviction thereof shall be
fined a sum not less than twenty nor more than
fifty dollars, in the discretion of the court, for
the first offence, and if convicted second
time for violation of this section, the person
or persons so offending shall be fined sum
not less than fifty nor more than five hundred
dollars, and be imprisoned for not less than
ten nor more than thirty days, in the discre
ton of the court, and his her, or their license,
if any were issued, shall be declared null and
