The Wanderers Return,

1t has often been remarked that, notwith-
standing the Lack of business opportunities
in Elkton, those who have once lived here
form attachments for the place and iii nigh
they leave it sooner or later come back The
latest illustration of this fact is tn. return
of Hezekiah G. Caldwell, popularity known
AS "Hezzy," who located in this town in
1896. For 36 coutin nous years he lathered
and shaved its older generations, curled the
hair of its growing beaux, catered at the
wedding feasts of its marrying daughters
and danced attendance in white gloves and
white cravat on every festive occasion. but
"HeZzy" didn't know when he was blessed.
He deserted in an unhappy moment, the
home of his adoption and strayed away TO
tho barren sands of the Jersey coast. lie
batteued on the unwelcome moorS, growing
thinner as he grazed, and now after seven
years fasting he returns to the more hospl-
table scenes of his earlier career. We well
come the wanderers return.

\ Flagman Killed at Red Mill

\ New York and Washington express
train on the Philadelphia, Wilmington

wards North E asst, on professional bust
uess The physician knowing that there
was "a tiagman stationed at the crossing,
aud not seeing him there, concluded that
all was right When he reached within
about hundred feet of the railroad he
saw the ilagman coming from towards
the watchmaus box. He had his flag in
his hand but it was not unfoded, and lie
appeared very much confused. Although
he made no signal his confusion caused
the doctor to look up, and he saw the
express close at hand. He heard the
hagman call out express" and jumping
ont of his carriage stopped his horse not
far from the crossing. Draper in his
confusion failed to get off the track in
ti.Ge and was struck and hurled many
feet through tie air. His death was I'M
duubUable Instantaneous. The lower jaw
was smashed and the breast bone and all
stopped as soon as possible, and the body
of the tiagman taken on board and
brought To Elkton where it was placed in
the watering house at the station. Cor
oner Lltzenberg at once proceeded to
summon a jury of inquest as is usually
done in cases of persons killed on the

December Weather Forecast.

Professor Foster, of Iowa, predicts that
about December is likely to commence
a mild, light rain, with fogs and on tue
5th one of the worst storms of the year
will set in, reaching the 9lst meridian
burlington, Io.) near December 6. A
great electric ground current will sweep
AROUND the west and south sides of the
storm on December :, similar to, but
greater than, that remarkable current of
January 3, which, telegraphers will re-
member, almost totally disabled the tel
egraph through Nebraska, Kans rs and
Missouri. On December these storms
will have reached the Eastern States and
will there be very heavy. At the same
time cold wave will spread over these
Western states. while the high winds
will make the drifting SHOWS very troat-
blesome. These storms Will be renewed
of this (ninety frst) meridian, with l.ss
precaution against these great winter
storms.
