end of Berkeley county in this state, and
James Swartz. living just across the line
in Frederick county, Va, in which Am
brouse was used up SO badly that he died
last Tuesday night or Wednesday. The
men lived neighbols to each other, and
the difficulty. we understand, was the
result of charge by Swartz that AM

fatal one. The injured man was cared
for by his neighbours, but after lingering
in great agony until early Wednesday

summoned by DIR. Swimley. and their
verdict was that, deceased came to his
death from exposure and bodily injur-
les received from James Swartz. The
accused was baled out on $500. to await
the action of the Berkeley county Grand

FLOOD SUPPLEMENT.
SATURDAY, June Sth, 1889.
THE WORST ALONG THE POTOMAC.

All lie StT6dulS DeCdiH0 JdSluS tOT-
REM and property near them was
either inundated or entirely swept
away. No estimate can now be made
of the damage done. The loss in bri2g-
es alone is estimated at $50, 900. The
railroads entering here have also sus-
tanned great damage, and on several
of them no trains arrived to-day. The
greatest loser is the Cumberland Val
ley. It's new iron bridge across the
Potomac river, went down this after
noon; nothing is left of the structure
except the span across the canal. The
original cost Of the bridge was $40 900.
All along the Potomac the destruction
was great. At and in the vicinity of
Williamsport, where the Conocoche-
ague empties into the Potomac, the
loss is very heavy. The warehouses
of Victor Cushwa, Stiffey & Findlay
and Frank Darby are partially under
water and their losses will be great.
Mr.. Darby alone estimates his loss at
$4,000. One-half of DeFrehn's chair
factory and paint shop were swept
away this afternoon, causing loss of
$4,000. Soon after the factory gave
away Theodore Wolfe, aged eighteen,
son of Louis r. Wolfe, and Samuel
Corbett, both of Williamsport, started
in a boat to recover several chairs.
While engaged in doing so young
Wolfe fell into the river and was
drowned. His body was not recover
ed. AT the same place the plaster
mill of Miller and Bro. and the brick
yards of Frank Goddard are complete
Iy submerged. The houses of Will
liam Bouzhaff and A. Ensimger, a
short distance above Williamsport,
were both washed away. The dam
age to the pulp mill further up the
river has been very great.
Two miles below Williamsport sew
eral houses were swept away-one be-
longing to Patrick Collins, and anoth-
AT Falling Waters several houses
have also been destroyed. On the
Conococheague, Ardinger's mill is
almost entirely under water, and at
Kemp's the food two stories of the
mill, and swept away the house of
Martin Bell. The confluence Conoco-
cheague and the river at Williams
port and the river at Williamsport
present the appearance of a vast tar
bulent lake, which has obliterated the
canal and railroad. The track of the
Western Maryland is under water for
some distance beyond Williamsport,
and at that place the water has almost
hidden the station. Several cars con-
tanning wheat and pulp, which were
ready for shipment, are submerged
near the canal. 1t is estimated that
the canal is under twenty feet of wa
ter at Williamsport, and that that
institution has sustained an irrepara-
BILE injury, from which it will never
recover.
Between Williamsport and dam No.

PreSbyterIans Lose Il Stalwart
krOthQr

When L. @. G. Elmer, who has been
an active member of the Presbyterian
Church at Beverly, N. j., for nearly
thirty years, gives evidence of re.
pentance for voting to license two
hotels in that pretty city, he can sit at
communion with the rest of the church
members. He is member of City
Council and he voted to license two
hotels to sell liquor in Beverly, against
the protest of the session of his church
Mr.. Elmer holds that the people of
Beverly, not the church, elected him
TO Council, and as he was sworn to do
his duty he did it conscientiously
Pastor Conn and committee of the
church waited upon the good old
Presbyterian at his house, but he
argued his side as strenuously as they
argued against him. His case was laid
before the session of the church, and
he was suspended until he shows
satisfactory evidence of repentance :"
The gentleman has accepted an
invitation to sit in a pew in the Epis-
copal Church. "l shall not return to
the Presbyterian Church." he said.
II rendered my resignation, but they
would not accept it, and now shall

One Cent Postage.

There is abundant reason to believe
that Postmaster General Wanamaker
will recommend the adoption of one
cent postage in his first annual report
and that it will be urged upon Con-
gress by the President This will be q
different policy from that pursued by
the last administration, but it will be
one which the people will approve.
From business point of view also
it is certain to prove of intimate ad-
vantage to the department. The last
Republican national platform declared
in favor of one cent letter postage; the
people indorsed that platform at the
ensuing election, and it is very proper
that an effort should be made-and
