not large, Col. W. S. Franklin, John Crowther,
yr, E. G. Merryman, n. r: Miles and Irving

rains upon crops roads, &C., the advantage of
securing grain stacks by proper caps Gas it was
said that those who were particular in protect
ing their grain with good Gaping had but little
injury done to iD were matters of conversation.
Also the usefulness and durability of mowers
and binders, the time for digging potatoes the
stacking of oats, &c.
The question respecting the price of grain and
whether bushel of wheat or barrel of corn
will buy now as much of the necessaries as
thirty years ago. was continued until the August
meeting, to be held at Mr.. John Crowthers,
on the Sd of the month. Written crop reports
were rendered by Messrs. s. NJ. Price, James b.
Ensor and w. w. Matthews. Verbal reports
of 1889 will be made next month
In inspecting Mr.. SCOTS premises it was
acknowledged that he is a successful farmer as
well as good pork-raiser. On examination of
the Mountain red and Buffalo red wheat it was
observed that the latter was the better quality.
The ladies of the household, who were as
sisted by Miss Florence Matthews, Miss Maggie
Wells, of Baltimore, and others, spread an ex-
cellent supper, which was much enjoyed.
Messrs. Daniel Pearce, Frank Scott and Frank
Matthew's OF the Junior CluD, anu MT UTliHtn
Gent, were present.
On the 18th inst. club of young lumbermen
from the city played a game of baseball with
our country boys, on the farm of Mr.. Mahlon

city friends, 81 to %.
The storm of Saturday morning last was very
severe washing roads and fields and carrying
away fencing Piney run has not been as high
for years A barrack filled with grain was
struck by lightning and burned. A team and
several laborers were under it at the time and
were considerably shocked. The barrack and
contents, which are on the Hayfields estate,
were insured.
On Saturday night last a man named Hrs
cher, who lived at Ashland, on returning from
Cockeysville (where it is thought he got off
train, he having been to the city, was run over
by train above Cockeysville about midnight,
and had both of his legs cut off and an arm
badly mashed. He was conscious up to the
time of his death and suffered greatly. He
laid on the track for several hours as the Off
Gals of the train did not know of the accident
and did not stop. The 4.30 A. NJ. news train
took him on board and carried him to his home.
His remains were carried to New Freedom for
interment. He leaves wife and seven chill
dren.

His Legs Cut Off on the Railroad.-wi

His Legs Cut Off on the Railroad.-Wil-
liam Hirscher, who lived at Ashland met with
an accident on Saturday night last that caused
his death. He got off train at Cockeysville
and started to walk up the track to his home,
when he was struck by a south bound freight.
His right leg was cut off below the hip and the
left below the knee. He laid in that condi-
ton for several hours before he was found,
when DR.. b. F. Bussey, surgeon of the North
ern Central Company, and DIR. Jessop, were
promptly summoned and did what they could
to relieve his sufferings. He died at 2 o'clock
Sunday afternoon The unfortunate man was
about 40 years of age. He leaves a wife and
five children living at Ashland.

Woodensburg, 4th District.-Mr. VIM. ID.
Yingling former Republican postmaster at
Reisterstown, who was removed from office by
the Cleveland administration, was appointed
on Wednesday inspector in the mailbag repair
division of the Second Assistant Postmaster
Generals office at Washington. 1t is one of
the most responsible positions i'll the office, as
on the judgment of the inspector the spending
or saving of q great deal of the governments
money depends. Mr.. Ilngllng is Union
veteran.
The farmers here have had great difficulty in
saving their harvest on account of the frequent
heavy rains. Much of the wheat throughout
this section was greatly damaged and it is the
opinion of most farmers that the crop will not
be more than half one.
Grass was very heavy but much of it has been
caught in the rains after being cut, but possibly
is not much injured.
Farmers are now engaged in cutting oats.
The crop is very good, having large, fine heads,
and if saved without injury from rains may,
with the heavy hay crop and the promise OF a
good corn crop, in measure compensate for
the loss in the wheat crop.
Politics in this district are not quite over
Swallowed by the talk of the coming camp
meetings, and Mr.. Charles ]. Beckley, our pop
Democratic nomination for Sheriff, is conf
dent he will carry the district and thus secure
the coveted nomination, as he has many flat
tering promises from other districts i'll case of
his doing so.
Last week there were already forty tents
erected on the Emory Grove camp ground and
this week it is expected the number will be in
creased to $50. The hotel opened on last Mon
day, with Mr. John E. Crout, manager. Twelve
families were on the ground last week and
more are expected this. The camp will begin
August 8th.
The Prohibition camp-meeting, at Glyndon
Park, will begin on the 25th inst and continue
two weeks. Already preparations for it are
being made. The temperance convention will
be held at this camp to nominate candidates
for the State political offices.
The colored camp-meeting, near st. Georges
Station, w. M. r. R., will begin in August
after the termination of Emory Grove A
large picnic was held there by colored peo-
pie from the city on last Wednesday.
Since the warm weather set in city boarders
have flocked out into this section and are scat
tered all along the line of the w. NJ. r. r. from
Baltimore to New Windsor All the boarding
houses at Glyndon, Reisterstown and elsewhere
along the road are full of them.
Miss Lorena Mason, of Baltimore, who was
visiting at Mr.. g. w. Cores, near st. Georges,
has returned home, and now Miss Fannie
Frush, of Baltimore, is paying a visit to Misses
Katie and Belle Gore.
Miss Rena Yingling, assistant teacher in MIR.
Heisses school in the I'd district, with her aunt,
Mrs. Kate Conrad, were at Cape May since
the close of the school and returned home this
week, visiting Belair, Hartford county, on their
way.
Although Mr. Joseph Trainor has resigned
the school at this place and will probably not
teach any more for the present, he took the
county teachers examination in Baltimore on
last Monday and Tuesday U.

Manor, 10th District.-Among the many
storms this summer the one of last Saturday
was particularly severe in this vicinity, the
lightning striking in large number of places.
The Manor school-house was struck, the belfry
demolished and three of the corner posts shat
tered. Had this occurred during q session of
the school loss of life would certainly have
resulted
Mr.. Thomas O'Keefe's dwelling was struck,
but no one severely injured.
During the same storm Mr. w. D. Curry had
two valuable Attorney cows killed by the light
ming, one of them the best COW of the herd.
The roads of this section are in very bad con-
dition, owing to the excessive rainfall. In
many places trees blown down by the recent
storms are still lying across the roads.
A thresher reports the yield of wheat to be
large, but poor in quality, estimating that one
third of the crop will prove damaged.

Narrow Escape from Lightning During
the progress of the heavy storm of Saturday
morning last large barrack on the Hayfield
estate was struck by lightning A number of
men were engaged in unloading wheat in the
barrack and five of them were so badly stun
ned that they were rendered unconscious for a
time The six mules attached to the wagon
from which the wheat was being unloaded
were thrown down but not seriously hurt.
The building was not damaged to any extent.

Fullerton, 18th District.-Never in the
recollection Of the oldest inhabitant was such
a flood seen in this neighborhood as that of
last Saturday. The Jerusalem turnpike COM
pany is among the heaviest losers, five bridges
and several culverts having been destroyed.
washed away. Much credit is due Mr.. Krastal,
road supervisor for his promptness in having
temporary bridges put up until they can be re-
built.
Crops along the streams are all destroyed, in
Guiding hay, oats and vegetables In many
places the soil was entirely swept away.
AT Trumps mill there was % inches of water
on the first floor and such thing was never
known before. The dam was washed away
for some time. The miller, Mr. Charles A.
Van Cleaf is heavy loser.
During the storm Mr.. James D. Slade was
unloading hay in his barn, when the barn was
struck by lightning but not set on fire and was
very little damaged. 1t is the largest barn in
the neighborhood and had the summer crops
stored in it. A colored man who was in the
building was badly stunned.
l mentioned the fact in former letter that
colored man named Anthony Hunley had been
taken from his home and lodged in Jail upon
the charge of being insane. His personal eff
fects were sold few days ago and there being
but few bidders they went for next to nothing.
A cart sold for % cts wagon so cts, beds cts,
and so on, the whole realizing but S4S.
Mr.. Jacob Neibauer's team was crossing the
bridge on Blue Ball avenue when it went down
with the flood. An abutment gave way and
tilted up the bridge against the wagon body,
thus preventing it from being carried away.
This food has made such an impression upon
the minds of the people that it will never be
forgotten by them. 1t was simply awful.

Quick With His Pistol.-The COrnet Band
at Franklinville, 18th district, held a picnic
on Saturday last and at the request of some
of the managers officer John Bosley, of TOw-
sontown, went over to preserve order. During
the afternoon a difficulty occurred between
several young men and Bosley attempted to
quell it, when they turned their attention to
him and he drew his pistol and fired, the ball

slight wound which was dressed by DR.. E. w.
Altvater Much indignation was expressed at
the action of Bosley, who was before the Coun-
ty Commissioners on Tuesday and told his
pistol in the discharge of his duty. He was
admonished by the Board not to be too quick
with his gun hereafter. 1t is said at Frank
linville that by the advice of somebody Bosley
left soon after the shooting and it is asserted
that it was fortunate for him that heidi, other
wise there would have been vacancy for the

He Cannot Accept the Mare.-As stated
in THE UNION last week, General Agnus pre-
scented the fine Percheron mare Daisy" from
his farm in Green Spring Valley, to Hon. ).
NJ. Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture, but the
Secretary felt obliged to decline the present, as
will be seen by the following letter to General
Agnus:
F'Mv Dear GeneraL-Not until the receipt of
your letter of the 10th instant did l surmise
that you were entirely serious in the pleasant
little chat we had the other day about the
mare and l did not realize that anything
that had said could be interpreted as meaning
an acceptance of your protfer. learn from
your letter that you fully intended to make

your pleasant home, and the magnificent re-
ception and hospitality of "Nacirema' will
never be forgotten by me while time goes on.
NV mount of the mare was due entirely to the
frolicsome spirit of the occasion, and contrib
uted perhaps to the general hilarity, but
would not have undue significance attached to
that incident. Therefore, repeat, my friend,

This Was a Very Close Gala young
lady, whose name could not be ascertained,
made narrow escape at the TOwsontown Sta
ton of the Maryland Central r. r., at eight
o'clock on Wednesday morning last. She was
standing upon the platform, apparently en-
crossed in looking at the Towson Guards board
the train, and no doubt forgot that she wanted
also to do so until the train commenced NOV
ing off. Then she commenced making frantic
efforts to get on by grabbing at the hand-rails
Ticket Agent Bond noticed what she was doing
and ran to her and grabbed her arm just in
time to prevent her Selling the rail ON the front
platform of the hindmost car. The train had
by this time gained considerable momentum
and had she caught the rail she would inevita-
bly, have been thrown down between the plat
form and the wheels. 1t makes one shudder
to think what the consequences might have
been.

Farm Buildings Burned-Heavy LOSS.
Our White Ground correspondent writes
During the prevalence of the storm which
swept this section of the county last Saturday,
Mr.. Christian Sauter barn, courthouse, wagon
house and two sheds were entirely destroyed by
fire. 1t originated in the barn, but whether it
was struck by lightning or was caused by spon-
taneous combustion is not known. Mr.. Sauter
had just housed his crop of wheat, which he
places 800 bushels. The barn also contained
40 bushels of unthreshed rye and the granary,
which was attached, 100 bushels of old wheat,
which, together with his binder, grain drill and
various other farming implements were burned
The courthouse contained Is or 20 barrels of
corn and lot of oats Mr.. Sauter was in the
city at the time and knew nothing of his loss
until he got home. The neighbors responded
promptly to the alarm and with the assistance
Of man on the place they managed to save
buggy, cart, wagons, harness, &c. Mr.. Sauter
estimates his loss at S., 900. Insured for about

store, in Towsontown, a colored man named
Wilson, who was charged with beating his
that he wanted him than he broke for the side
door of the store and flew up the avenue to-
wards the Court House at 2:30 pace. The
officer followed and called to him to halt but
Wilson did not see it in that light and although
Bosley fired two shots to bring him to stand,
he kept right on and made his escape. Bosley
is a good mover, but he was out-classed in this
race.
