A SUDDEN AND TERRIBLE DEATH BY THE
CARs.-Mr. VIM. II. Chesney, Collector of Taxes
for the second and sixth districts of this coun-
ty, was struck bya train and instantly killed,
on Monday morning, at Aberdeen. He had
gone there with his daughter, from their
home, near Churchville, to take the early
morning train for Baltimore. Leaving his
daughter in the depot he crossed the track
to the office of Baker Il Morgan and
sent dispatch to Havre de Grace. While
waiting for an answer whistle was heard, and
supposing it to be the train he intended to take,
he ran across the track towards the depot. An
express train for New York was due at the
same time, and while his face was turned in the
direction of the approaching south-bound train
he was struck by the engine of tina other train,
which was running at the rate of so miles an
hour, and hurled about $50 feet When picked
up life was extinct. The body was terribly
mangled, the limbs being broken and twisted,
and a large hole knocked in the side of his
head His money, overcoat and watch were
scattered over the tracks. The body was car
Sied to the station, and placed in charge of the
agent TO await the action of the civil authori.
ties. Several persons tried to warn him, but it
was too late. Justice Harris summoned the
following jury of inquest: Taylor Cole, fore
mas G. w. Baker, o. F. Burgess, l.. W. Foard,
T. a. Wells, Vim. H.. Taylor, I. L.. Hanway,
gswes I. Pritchard, r. B. Knight, VIM. G.
Pritehard, John A. Osborn, Geo w. Evans. In
their verdict after reciting the facts, they say
"0ur verdict is that the express train north,
being late five minutes, the accommodation train
south, which was on schedule time, should have
come up to the station and the express train
north should have stopped until the accommo-
datlou train started from the station.
ave therefore censure the officials and en-
ployes of the p, w. and b. Railroad Company,
for allowing two trains to approach station
In such II manner, and also for passing station
at such high rate of speed, which caused the
death of Mr.. VIM. H. Chesney."
Mr. Chesney was 65 years old and was we'll
known and respected all over the county. He
has held the position of tax collector for seven
years, and was always spoken of as one of the
best collectors the county ever had. He
was Republican in politics, aud four
years ago was candidate for County
Commissioner on that ticket from the

FIRE IN BALTIMORE CoUNTY.-A two-story
canned goods warehouse, belonging to A.
A. Miller, IL Sons, near Upper Falls, Bal
timore county, was destroyed by fire, early
Monday m orning. Mr.. Miller arose about four
O'Clock, to start team to the railroad station
with canned goods, and when he opened his door
he saw flames bursting out of the windows of
the warehouse. He aroused his sons who with
himself FASTENED to the spot, but nothing could
be saved. His canning house and barn were
situated very near the warehouse and were saw
ed with difficulty. The building contained from
1000 to 500 cases of canned peaches, tomatoes
and pumpkins, all of which were entirely de-
stroyed. 1t is believed the building was ma
liciously set on fire. The insurance which was
for 81, 900 in the Baltimore County Mutual In
surance Company, of which 5000 was on the
building, covers the loss on the stock, hut not
on the building.
Mr.. Miller is unfortunate. Several years
ago his barn and its contents were destroyed
by fire, and previously saw mill belonging to
him was set on fire by Il crazy coored woman
and burned.

DEDICATION OF A CHURCu.-The new st.
Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, near Per-
rymans, was dedicated, last Sunday, with inter-
esting ceremonies. A number of persons from
Baltimore were present The music and sing
ing by the choir of Rev. Mr.. Hers church,
Baltimore, we're very fine. In the morning an
excellent sermon was preached, in German, by
Rev. Mr.. Herr, of Baltimore from the 2Sth
chapter of Genesis, 10th TO nth verses, in which
Jacobs vision of the ladder which reached from
earth to heaven is related.
The supercrption to be placed over the
door, said the speaker, should be, "Holy is
This Place" 1t is holy because it is the House
of God. 1t is the House of God because the
spiritual temple, the congregation of believers,
Gods children, assemble and unite here. Be-
cause God Himself is here, in the means of
grace, to bless His children; because it is the
gate to heaven. The gate to heaven is Christ
Jesus, God and man; the Redeemer of the
world; the way, the truth and the life; and He
alone is preached and held forth as such here.
After the morning services bountiful lunch
was spread, to which all were invited.
Another service was held in the afternoon, at
which an impressive sermon was preached in
English by Rev. E. L. s. Tressel, of Baltimore
his text being from the 122d Psalm: 81 was
glad when they said unto me, let us go into the
house Of the Lord. He set forth in his discourse
the things which make temple of God pleas
ant place for Gods people to assemble; the
things which they receive there and the things
which they bring there.
The attendance upon both services was good.
The pastor of the church, Rev. j. E. A. Doer-
mann, took part in the services. The trustees
and building committee of the church are E. A..
Bodt, Alex. Smith, Rudolph Lay, Francis Grill
and George Kallenbach.

Tight Looins Agnin.

us ii true" asked Baltimore Sun re-
porter of one of Baltimorc's best known
modstcs, "that tight lacing is coming
into fashon again2"
Yes, IL is true. You see il is fashion
able for lndics to bo broad shouldcred
and small waistcd, and customers of
mine whose clothes used to make from
twenty three to twenty-scvcn inches,
waist measure, now have them fully five
inches smaller. Only year ago natur-
al waist, measuring say from twenty-five
to twenty-scvcn inches was considered
graceful and pretty, which it really is,
but now it is not fashionable to measure
more than from eighteen to twenty
three. OF course, the lacing is done by
means of the corset, and sometimes l
nearly break my fingers trying to fit and
close basQucs that arc so tight they will
not meet without an effort. While
everything else must be very tight in the
waist, breadth and fullncss about the
shoulders arc striyen after, MS they serve
by contrast to intensity the seeming
smallncss of the waist. Do I use pad
ding9 Oh, yes; lots of 1t. The holows
between tho shoulders and under the
arms are filled out with it, and in some
cases one whole shoulder is made of it.,
notably where one shoulder is higher
than tho other. Everything must be
skin tight these days, and if one has not
good figure it must bo made good. A
favorite method of ofproccdurc is to fit first
on the figure a lining, on which the
figure is built out with cotton wherever
needed. Over this is fitted a second il
ming and then comes tho dress mater
ial."
