Samuel johnson Respited.

Samuel Johnson, alias Cuff" for
mer resident of Cecil county, who was
to have been hung on Thursday at Media,
Pa. for the murder of John Sharpless,
has been respited by Governor Beaver
until May g He did not hear of his
respite until Wednesday evening when
he was told the news by his counsel John
B. Robinson, and was over-joyed at the
good tldiugs. He has shown no fear of
his approaching doom. All day he read
his Bible and prayed aud seemed per-
fectly happy. One of his counsel, John
B. Robinson, received the following note,
written on the edge of newspaper, from
the condemned man:
"Mr. Robinson, am grateful for all
you has done for me. [ am also grateful
for all that my many friends has done
for me, as | am poor colored man, had
not dollar in the world, and there was
not twelve gentleman and ladies that
know me. | cannot express nv thank
fitness for the great pleasure bestowed
upon me, but their kindness was not be-
slowed upon guilty man, for | am iDno-
cent of the murder of Farmer John
Sharpless, and to be hung for a crime of
which you are not guilty is barbarous. /
have not got many hours to live, but
am not afraid to die. Take my life, but
| must stick to the truth. Written by
Samuel Sobhson to John B. Robinson"
This was written, of course. before he
heard of the respite and when he fully
expected to die on Thursday.

Against the Re-Opening of the
License Question.

At a special meeting of the Law and
Order League of the Fourth Election
District OF Cecil county the following
resolutions were prepared and adopted,
viz:
WHEREAS, Petitions are being circulated
throughout the county 10y persons who are
opposed to the present Prohibitory Law,
asking the Legislature to pass law resub.
mitting to the voters of The county the
question, whether Prohibition or License
shall prevail here, and
WHEREAS \ OF only those who voted for
the present Probibitory Law but large
part of the ten pe:ance voters who voted for
the High License Law submitted at the
election in 1856, are satisfied with the work
ing of the present law, and are of the opin-
ion that it should be tested for longer time
before said question should be resubmitted
for vote, aud
WHEREAS, VS. believe that our represen-
tatives in tie Legislature are also of the
same opinion;u ow, therefore, be it
Resolued, That we do hereby condemn the
course of those " no are circulating the SAID
petitions, to agitate question which the
majority of the people of this county have
settled, and which, at this time, should not
be re-agitated
Resolred. That we do hereby request our
said representatives to oppose the passage
of any bill which would resubmit said
question for vote, until the present law has
been shown by full trial to fail to accom-
plish the ends for which it was intended.
Resolred, That in our opinion the present
Prohibitory Law has proven itself to be
| greatly effective in diminishing the viola
tions which occurred under the previous
Prohibitory Law, and that we are of the
| opinion that it meets the expectations of not
only those who voted for it but of many
who cast their ballots against it.

A Narrow Escape.

Andrew Hickman, fireman of an
engine on the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad, met with
narrow escape from death at the Elktou
depot on Wednesday afternoon. Mr..
Hickman had been visiting his family at
Chesapeake City, and was delayed by the
storm. he arrived in Elkton on We'd
nesday with the intention of boarding a
north bound train in order to report for
duty at Wilmington or Philadelphia. AS
the train which usually passes Elkton
north bound about clock in the after
noon approached he noticed that it was
running much slower than usual, and
concluded to board it. He took his posi-
ton i'll front of the Summer house, and
when the front platform of the last Car
reached him he caught at the railing He
missed and fell first against the car, and
then beneath the car and across one of
the rails. the platform at this point is
very low, and with quick motion he
rolled out on it. He was none too soon
to save himself from injury. The wheels
of the rear portion of the car struck his
foot, MAKING large hole III the heel of
his oyershoe, and crushing off the heel
of his shoe.

Memorial Tribute,

AT the session of the lay delegates Of
the Wilmington NJ. E. Conference on
Saturday last the following was adopted
In view of the long and faithful service
rendered to the Methodist Episcopal
Church by our lamented brother, Francis
Asbury Ellis, one of the most prominent
and highly respected laymen of the Will
mington Conference, this electoral con
record this memorial tribute: Brother
Ellis was born near Turner'S creek. Kent
county, Nd, December 30, 1906, and
died in Elkton, November 81, 1887. Up
to his 43d year he was a member of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. During
gracious revival in the Elkton NJ. E.
Church in iS49, under the ministry of
Rev. William H. Elliott, Brother Ellis
entered intoa new religious experience
which was so clear and complete as to
thoroughly revolutioniZe his character
and life. He promptly identified himself
with the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and for the IS years OF his subsequent
life he demonstrated the strength and
order of his devotion to the interests of
that fold of the flock OF Christ by re-
spending to every call of duty and show
ing himself ready unto every good word
and work. He was soon appointed a
class-leader and continued in that most
responsible relation till called to his
heavenly home. For several years he
was licensed local preacher. From the
origin of the Conference Missionary So
ciety he was its president aud retained as
such as long as he lived He was tor
several years member of the Conference
Board of Church Extension and president
of it's board of education. In the last
General Conference he was one of the
two lay delegates representing the Will
mngton Annual Conference in that
highest council of the church and rem
dered valuable service as such. BLESSED
are the dead who die in the Lord from
henceforth; yea saith the spirit, for they
rest from their labors and their works do
follow them

Death of Stephen MahOney, {
Former Cecil COUntain.

Stephen Mahoney died at his home,
Magnolia, Harrison county, Iowa, on
February 22d, 1888, of paralysis from
which he had suffered for some time.
Mr. Mahoney was born in this county
February 18Th, 1909, consequently at the
time OF his death was 70 years of age
Early in lite he married Margaret
Mahoney, his cousin, by whom he had
eleven children.
Soo'4 alter his marriage he engaged in
farming near Scott's Mills, in which oc-
cupation in connection with coopering,
he continued until his removal to Iowa
in 1850
Arrangements had been made tor imi-
grating when the death OF his wife leav-
ing him with a family of small children
came as heavy blow. Grieved and stun
ned as he WAS by this affection he packed
up his household goods, gathered his
children around him and under ook and
accomplished the difficulties of journey
to the West 10 1850. The youngest child
died on board the vessel on which they
sailed down the Ohio, aud Mr.. Mahoney
wrote back: I'VE rowed ashore one
banks of the liver"
Mr.. Mahoney settled twenty miles from
Council Bluffs and together with a man
by the name of Blackb burn established
the first grist mill in Harrison county.
The first day it was III operation, while
the men We're away at dinner the wolves
came and ate the belts. The mill proved
a success which is rot surprising from
the fact that persons III that vicinity were
in the habit of going 40 miles TO mills.
On one occasion Mr. Mahoney's partner,
(prior to the building of this mild in
going to mill came to a stream that was
swollen by rain so as to be impossible.
He unyoked the oxen from the cart con-
structed raft of it, propelled it across,
swan the oxen over. rebuilt his cart and
went OIL his way.
After number of years Mr.. Mahoney
abandoned the mill and gave his whole
attention to farming in which he was
very successful. He subsequently mar
ried an English lady by whom he had
six children who together with two Sis.
tiers, Mrs Auna Servis of Colorado, aud
Mrs. John H. Mahoney of this county.
He visited his friends in this county in

that the sale was not held on that day. Mr..

Senator Mccullough has introduced
bill in the Maryland Senate to transfer to
the Baltinore and Cape Charles railroad
the sum of S5S,00a which the legislature of
1861 appropriated to Cecil county for in
ternal improvements. The amount was
first ordered to be transferred to the Elkton
and Massey's Railroad Company, but that
company failing 70 build a road il was or
dered to be paid 10 the Elkton and Middle
town Company. The last named company
did not use the money and it is now pro-
posed To us" it for the new peninsula rail
road. If this county is to furnish so much
of the money it would appear but fair that
the road should be called the E'kton and
Cape Charles Railroad instead of the Balti-
more and Cape Charles.
