Port Deposit Items.

PORT DEPOSIT, October 18Th.
Mrs. John A. Mitchell met with a fearful
accident while returning home from the
Tome Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church
last Sunday night. The night was very dark
and FROM some cause the street lamps were
not lighted. She stepped off of the pavement
to the street near the residence of Mr.. Levi
johnson, badly spraining one of her ankles,
friends assisted her to Mr.. Johnson's house
where she remained all night. Monday Mr.
Mitchell procured a carriage and took her
home, where she is still suffering from the
accident.
Mr.. Joseph w. Abrahams is lying dan
gerously ill at his residence and Tor the last
few days seems to be growing weaker. Mr..
Abrahams is perhaps the oldest citizen of
our town as we'll as the oldest member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church and is very
highly esteemed by his fellow church
members and our citizens generally. Mr..
Harry A. G. Westerfield who is sick with
Typhoid fever is improving very slowly and
with good and careful nursing will likely
be out again. Harry is favorite with old
and young and his familiar face has been
missed from our streets for some weeks.
The colored people of our town seem to
have taken more interest in politics than
their white friends ofether party. They have
procured and raised tall pole on Cedar
street opposite their hall and have fine
Harrison Morton and Lang banner floating
from its top.
William McClena han on Tuesday while
walking on the scatfolding around the cleo
trio light building it gave way and falling
cut his head very badly.
A part of the members of Battery B,
known as Shows Battery, had a reunion
and parade through the town Thursday
afternoon. In honor of the event many of
our citizens decorated their dwellings
Some of our citizens chartered the steamer
City Belle for trip to masonic bazaar
Wednesday night. They were well pleased
with the bazaar and delighted with an ex-
cellent supper which was furnished at fifty
cents per head.
The Republicans raised two poles in the
centre of the town Wednesday evening and
now have their large campaign fl ,g floating
over the centre of the street. They raised
pole at Rock Run and have placed a nice
flag on it and seem to be fully alive to the
issue of this campaign.
E. B. Frazer has purchased the stock of a
drug store in Newark, Del and will move
his family there in the near future.

A True Fish Story,

Robert Stewart, the veteran fisherman
at Conowingo, had black bass to break
his line last Wednesday after loon. He
said something as be saw the cork disap
pear under the water on the north side o.
Long Island, above the bridge. Six days
afterwards Mr.. w. z. Mills, an expert
caster from Baltimore, was fishing IN the
water where Mr.. Stewart experienced ba6
luck. A white and green cork was noticed
floating about and every time boat was
rowed near it the cork disappeared, only
to bob up again some feet away. This
cork finally appeared near Mr.. Mills cork
and the group of fishermen awaited re-
suits when he said "Fellows, that bass
is at my bait" The first strike missed,
the second was success and MIR. Mills.
assisted by his valuable boatman, Frank
Jones, pulled in a fine bass weighing two
and half pounds. Such rejoicing and
congratulation as followed never hap
pened before at Long Island, Mills had
covered himself with glory. The bass
had Stewards hook in its stomach, while
out of it's mouth hung the leader, snker
and four feet of line together with the
cork. This shows that bass will frequent
the same place in the water for some time,
this fish doubtless having been there for
six days dragging the tackle with it. Mr..
Mills, about two years ago, caught a bass
with four hooks in its mouth, below tie

The excitement of the coming election has
greatly retarded the weekly items. The
corners Of our streets are often the scene of a
group Of men discussing the great topics of
the day. Our little town occasionally is
favored with a political meeting. The pro-
hititionists are looking to 1899, when the
first prohibitionist President will take his
seat and away will go whisky. Miss Mar
