NIT Camp for 1898 WIN Close.
BY Letter to EVENING JOURNAL.
BRANDYYINE SUMMIT Pa, Aug. 90
The bright sun in contrast with the
dreary rain and bowling wind of the day
before made everybody feel glad yester-
day. It was one of the grandost days.
A bright sun, fresh cool breeze, so that
coats and shawls were not uncomfortable
and the fresh woods and fields brought
JOY to every eye and heart
The only damage done here by the
storm was the splitting of large hickory
tree at the corner of Lebanon avenue and
the circle
Three daughters of Theodore Bruce,
the man killed near Harc's Corner, were
visiting the camp on that day as guests
of Mrs. Morgan, corner Of Sloan avenue
and the circle. They did not leave the
ground until about 9 o'clock 20 return
home, only to find their father dead and
their home wrecked One Of the young
ladies was anxious all day and said to
some friends that she feared that all was
not right at home After her return
home she found that her presentiment
had been fearfully realized.
The attendance was good yesterday.
| The country folk were on the majority in
the early part Of the day, but later the
| city teams began TO come in until the
woods were nearly full.
Three wagon loads, about thirty per
sons, came from Chester Heights yester-
day, under the care of Lewis Walters
and Mr. Smith
William Linton and wife left for Wood
lawn camp
The Rev. II. a. Cleaveland will be at
the camp to-day. The imaginative cor
respondent did not write nor intimate
that Grover Cleveland would be ut camp
The word President was a mistake Of tho
compositor.
The base ball correspondent of Every
Evening had his wits nearly scared out
Of him by tho wind on Wednesday night
and he is not accountable therefore for
such deliberate yarns as the following
| "a tree was split feet and inclined to
an angle Of As degrees and yet stands.
| This is not the first deviation of this
model correspondent from the truth. and
not the first sur but ne would better
work on q straight line himself before he
chides others.
