tress was noticed by passenger on an
express train passing here northbonnd
about seven o'clock on Saturday evening

ductor about the matter and the latter
telegraphed the information to Elkton.
Mr.. VIM. Watson. who has charge of this
section of the road, sent Thomas Heath
to find the man. Mr.. Heath found mu-
latto about half mile this side of Bacon
Hill bridge. He reported this fact and
an extra freight of which Samuel Miller,
formerly of this town, was conductor,
stopped and took on the wounded man.
He was taken off the train again at Elk.

men who carried him from the depot to
the Jail that he had revolver in his
hand when train approached on him

was discharged The wound was in tho

Dr. Chas. Nj. Ellis. The man died Mon

BAY RIDGE.

Bay Ridge has never been attractive as this
season and well deserves to be called the "Coney
Island of the South, with its splendid sandy bot
tom, salt water surf bathing. 1t has also the
greatest attractions of any summer excursion re-
sort south of New York; its walks drives and bou-
levards are beautiful: its various buildings, such
as Music Hall, Opera House and Pavilous Tor
dancing are handsome, convenient ana comforta-
BILE and the music delightful, and the hotel ex-
ceedingly cool and tt management unsurpassed
and what, with eating and drinking, rowing and
sailing. fishing and bathing, dancing and flirting
there is precious little left to wish for In the way
OF enjoyment and genuine pleasure.
The Round Trip to BAY RIDGE Is but IS
Cents tor Adults and 40 Cents for Child
rem, and your ticket admits you to the
Opera House and Matinee.
We trust therefore that every member of the
Order and all our friends will contribute of his
time and their personal influence to make this
excursion grand and memorable success.

Adulterat,on of Coffss.

So extensive is adultera,ion of coffee its Ss not easy to obtain the pure article, ten. although the highest price Do paid. Tho substances commonly used in adulteration arc chicory. roasted grains, peas or beans. The principal element of roasted chicory is sugar; it is useful in coloring the decoction, but adds nothing to its virtues As for ths other substances, although they may bo harmless, considering their use from an economic point of view, nothing is made oy buying coffee which contaias them. even fl tho price of the mixture be much under that demanded for the pure article. This is evident when 1t is known that not infrequently what passes for low price coffee contains at least sixty per cent adulteration. In buying coffee the pure is actually the cheapest And in the matter of adul- teratiou of this important article of food there is a weighty consideration beyond that of economy. The mora good, pure coffee there is obtaina ble tho less will be the demand for spiritu- ous liquors, for even the veriest topor will often choose the former in prefer once to the latter.

A slight injury, severe cold or shock to the body or mind will com monly provoke acute disease, ending fatally. Compared with other inc briates who use different kinds of alco- hol. he is more iucarable and moro generally discussed. It is our obserya- ton that beer drinking in this country produces the very lowest kind oi in ebriety closely allied to insanity. The most dangerous class of rufiians in our largo cities are beer drinkers.
