Deaths.

Mrs. Rebecca Humphreys, widow of
Thomas Humphreys, died at her resi-.
dence in this town on Saturday even
ing, in the 92d year of her age. Her
husband, his father, Alexander Hum
phreys, child and herself made four
deaths in the family in the space of a
year. Her health has been feeble since
the death of her husband, acquiring the
same disease, consumption, and her
death was not unexpected. She did the
best she could under adverse circum-
stances, and had the sympathy and aid
of her friends and neighbors. The re-
mains were inferred Monday afternoon
in the Odd Fellows cemetery. Her
children four in number, have been
kindly furnished homes in the families
of friends.

This year keeps up its reputation as
a season of horrors, and the explosion
of dynamite in a cartridge factory on
Friday in Antwerp, resulting in the
death Of 200 persons, the wounding of
others and the loss of valuable property,
calls up the sad story of JOhnstOwn.
The suffering and death in the Belgian
city almost equals the agony of a
battlefield. 1t is inconceivable that
the presence of explosive material sufIi-
cient in power and quantity to lay a
city in ruins should have been toler-
ated by the authorities.

IT Is Baltimore's turn this week to
have "big time" which will be wit
messed by a number of persons from
the Peninsula. On Monday there was
a civil and industrial parade. On Tues
day and to-day the exhibits will be
judged. On Thursday this will be
followed by a sham battle on the fair
grounds, a great concert and the dedi-
cation of the new postofice. On Friday
will take place the bombardment Of
Fort McHenry. At the grounds there
will be sales of horses and cattle daily
The trOtting program is an ample one
and fine contests are expected. All
the indications point to a great assem-.
blage Of visitors in the city.

THE right of the ballot conferred
upon the women in Washington Terri
tory by the Territorial legislature, they
are not ready to give up without a
word by its assuming statehood, and
they have determined to vote on the
adoption of the State constitution, and
if the election judges refuse their ballots
they will establish ballot-boxes of their
own for the purpose of cOntesting the
matter before the United States Su-
preme Court.

ICE CREAM !

CARR's rooms on Market
Street may not be the fin
est on the peninsula, but
they are large, cool and coin
Portable, and still the most
popular because the quality
Of the Ice Cream is undoubt-
edly without a rival in the
State.
1t requires years Of study
and experience to become
"celebrated" in any branch
of business, especially in the
artOfmaking GOOD Ice Cream.
and after nearly twenty
years experience in the Ice
Cream business, we think
we know something about
1t. Come once and you will

greatly excited the interest, no less than
the curiosity, OF the Shadow, who oCcu-
