A Dangerous Lunatic.

y year or two ago an elderly man
named Dance moved To Chesapeake City
and began work at his trade that of a
watch and clock repairer. He came from
Philadelphia where his wife from whom
he had parted resides. He has since de-
veloped evidence of insanity. lie believes
that his wife has employed persons to
kill him in order that she may procure
insurance that he holds on his life. On this
account he persisted in locking his house
and refusing admission to all persons.
Rev. Jacob Miller and other neighbors
supplied him with food. A warrant was
issued for bis arrest and Bailiff Geo T.
KING aud Deputy Sheriff g. II. johnson
went on Thursday to secure him. They
found that Dance had retreated co the
garnet. The only entrance is by trap
door and this had been wedged aud nailed
so that it could not be opened. The I'M
fortunate man was given to understand
that the officers had authority to take
him. He said if the officers were sheritfs
he would go. He got out on the roof and
the warrant was handed up for him to
read. When he saw that it was made
out to constable and not to the sheriff
he decided not to be arrested. He had
loaded revolver in his hand aud when
Bailiff King got on the roof pointed it at
him and ordered him to stand back
While his attention was attracted by the
bailff others approached him from be-
hind and secured his revolver. He did
not offer any further assistance and was
lodged in Jail.

The coloriug and decorating of Easter
eggs is pleasant employ for young
people. 1t allows a great exercise OF
taste aud ingenuity, and prettily decora,
ted eggs make nice Easter favor to send
to a friend instead of the more common
card. Beautiful and really artistic re-
suits can be achieved with little money,
and the exercise of taste, care and patti
ence. The first step is usually to boil
the eggs hard. They should be put i'll
cold water, which should be allowed to
must be removed. A disregard of this
precaution is apt to result in cracked or
broken shells. Another way is to make
a small hole in each end of the egg with
slender darning needle and blow the
contents out. These egg shells are much
more delicate and easily broken than the
TO remove the contents and fill the shell
with liquid plaster Of Paris, which soon
hardens aud makes very substau tial
egg. The plaster should be mixed with
water until it runs easily. II, after some
plaster is run in the shell, a few shot are
added the egg will always maintain an
upright position.
The most simple way to color eggs is
to sew ribbon or calico that will fade
around them and boil few minutes. The
skins of the dark red onion will color
beautiful shades of yellow and browns
Tuci will give shades of crimson, light or
dark, according TO the length of time the
in water to which oxalic acid is added in
the proportion of teaspoonful to quart
of the dye gives gives a pretty blue.
Names, dates and figures can be put Oh
the eggs alter they are dyed by tracing
the letters or figures with fine brush or
pen dipped in oxalic acid. To tint eggs
any shade, use oil paints of various hues.
Roll piece OF soft cotton cloth into a
wad and with this rub the oil paint on
the eggs, be careful to take only a small
quantity at time on the dauber. Any
one who knows how to paint can decorate
these tinted eggs very handsomely by
putting on each some appropriate design
or motto. For blue egg a cluster of
lilies of the valley or suow-drops are
charming. Another very suggestive de-
sign is a leafless branch with chrysalis
attached and the released butterfly how
ering near. 1t is wise to ch pose irregu-
lar letters for the motto; gold or bronze
paint can be used effectively in putting
them on. Eggs left uucolored and SIM
pie design painted on the shell are quite
satisfactory. A variety can be made by
selecting light and dark colored eggs and
different sizes from the large egg of the
goose to the tiny one of the bantam.-
Erchange.

A Boy Drowned in Elk River.

On Monday afternoon two sons of Geo.
Lothian who resides on Water street
went down Elk river in boat to meet
the boat containing the whale which has
been on exhibition here this week. They
rowed in shore and got out at the lower
end of the dyke. The older of the boy s
entered the boat again leaving his brother
to push it from the shore. The latter
named Jacob, who was about 10 years
old, in doing this slipped in beyond his
depth and letting go of the boat being
unable to swim after a few struggles sank
from sight. His brother attempted to
rescue him without success Men on a
tug dragged for the body and found it in
less than an hour. The remains We're
taken to his fathers residence. The little
fellow looked like he was asleep lying on
"A lounge while his faithful dog lay curled
up at his feet. His funeral took place on
Thursday morning from the residence of
his uncle Jacob Lothian on High street.
The boat the boys had WAS the same one
from which the Batemans, father and son
were drowned last November. Singular
enough the bodies were also found about
the same place and the accidents are
supposed to have occurred about the same
time of day.

General Washington In Elkton.
One hundred years ago yesterday Gen.
George Washington rode through Ekton
on his journey to New York to take the
oath of office as first president of the
United States. 1t was not his first visit
to our town as during the Revolutionary
War he spent night in the house of
Mrs. Geo. r. Howard on Main street,
then public house owned by member
of the Holingsworth family. A day or
two later General Howe who was in com
mand of the British forces spent night
in the same room The New York World

tour of Washington to New York to be

aud artist of the World were in Elkton OH

The Susquehanna Fisheries.

There are more shad aud herring now
running in the Susquehanna river than
was ever known before at this early date, ="
said Mr.. Robert Seneca, mayor of Havre
de Grace, as he stood one day this week
in his shipping establishment looking
out with spy-glass for another boat
loaded with fish.
The season commenced early and de-
veloped suddenly. The first shad was
caught about the middle of March by
Capt. VIM. Wilson, and since that time
there has been steady increase of the
run of fish. The OILERS as we'll as the
seine-haulers are happy, aud the glut of
herring is so great that long seine with
small meshes cannot be hauled. The
seine- haulers have been obliged to take
out their herring mesh so the herring may
run through the net and leave the shad
rangement where the meshes are large
enough for the herring to swim through
without touching the net so barrels OF
more of herring are taken at each haul.
They are so thick in the water that they
cannot get out of each Others way in time
for them all to get through the meshes
before the seine is landed.
Geo. w. Carver & Co.. have had as
high as 200 barrels of herring in their
net at one haul. The seine is 3, 200 yards
long, with about as much more rope, and
takes in scope of about four miles IL
is landed on Spesutia Islapd, about five
miles below Havre de Grace 1t is i'm.
would pull the bosom out of the seine.
On the occasion referred to the cork line
was lowered and many of the herring
allowed to escape.
Coale & Bailey, whose float is just off
Havre de Grace, at G.rrett's Island,
could not land the first haul they made
this season. They were compelled to
anchor their seine out and haul four OF
tive times inside it with a smaller seine.
AS it was their first haul, they had plenty
of room to salt down and store their big
catch of herring, and therefore saved all
them. But since that time, not having
a paying market for fresh herring nor
room to strike them with salt, they have
turned them out of their seine at the IA tie
of over 1000 barrels daily. 1t is the same
with the other floats. All are catching
more herring than they can sell or salt
down. To get rid of them boat loads of
herring are daily given away, SO the
premises may be cleared for shad and
rock, which have a ready sale at good
prices. Herring shipped to market from
this section net about twenty-five cents
per hundred. Shad net about SIS pei
hundred. said to be twice the amouui
usually realized, aud higaer tGau ever
known before.
The floats catch about 9, 800 shad each
daily, fully 80 per cent. more at this sea-
