naath Of a Bright Law Student.


Thos r. Graham, son of John W.
Graham, of Kenton, died in the Jeffer-
son Hospital on Monday from an in
Jury he received from being run over
on Saturday by coupe driven by a
man named Kloeckner, at Broad and
South Penn Square Philadelphia. He
was kicked in the back of the head by
the horses, and the wheels passed over
his left shoulder. He was sent to the
jefferson hospital and remained in an
unconscious condition until he died
Monday.
His preceptor, Alexander Simpson
No. ZIG Walnut Street Immediately
telegraphed John w. Graham, his
father, and late that evening he ar
rived at the hospital. The injured
man was unable to recognize his par
ent. Mr.. Graham has been student
in the Law School of the University of
Pennsylvania.
He was the author of the Australian
Ballot Law considered at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, and made an
admirable address of ballot reform be-
fore the Young Mems Democratic
Club of Wilmington last winter. The
remains will be inferred in the family
burying ground at Brynzion, Baptist
Church, near KentOn tomorrow morn
ing, to meet at the house at 1876
o'clock, services to be held in the
Church.
The death will be great blow tc
the father who was justly proud of his
son, in whom he had reason to expect
not only a virtuOus and successful life
but probably brilliant success in hi!
profession. His death will be sincerely
regretted by the residents of Kentor
and vicinity, and by those everywhere
who had come in contact with him. Ii
our first interview with him severa
years ago of five minutes, we were i'm
pressed with his mental brightness
under his mOdesty of demeanOr, tina
put him way ahead of most youths o
his age in promise of success.
Since.then he has been a frequen
contributor of the TIMES, and whethe
dealing in casual things or grave sub
jects, there was always that evidenc,
of strong mental perceptions, felicity o
expression and clearness of vision tha
belong only to we'll endowed minds
The deceased was on his last term a
the University and would in a year o
so have been admitted to the bar. H,
was in his 25Lh year-a star blotte,
out ere it had arisen beyond the hor
izon.

A cunning Accident.

John P. Garrison, residing near Leip-
SIC is recovering from the severe wound
he received week ago. He and his
neighbOr, Mr.. Marvel, were at war
with blackbirds that were infesting
their corn fields by thousands, being
quite destructive on the young grains
ere the stalks had been cut and punched.
Mr.. Marvel in attempting to load his
gun, breech loader, being a little
stiif in breaking" struck it across his
knee the jar causing an explosion and
the discharge of the load, the latter
taking effect on Mr.. Garrison who was
standing with his back to him the
length of a fence rail distant. The
shot took effect in the body just above
the hips, and in the arm. The latter
being less protected by clothing re-
ceived greater INJURY, the shot that did
not strike the bone going mostly clear
through. About fifty shot struck this
member several of them lodging in the
joint, and Mr.. Garrison will be lucky if
he is not left with a stiff arm. He did
not know until he saw the blood that
he was shot but fell Immediately after
from the shock the nerves had re-
ceived. DIR. Dwight of this town and
DR.. COnOway, of Leipsic were pro-
cured as soon as possible and after
picking out the shot from the body
and arm dressed the wound, and the
patient has been doing as we'll since as
could be expected.

Birth Day Party.

A very pleasant surprise party was
given Miss Mary Anthony, by her par
ents in honor of her seventeenth birth
day, Monday evening last.
By the time the hands of the clock
indicated the hour of eight quite a
party of her young friends had assem-
bled at her home and soon Miss Mary
was the centre Of a crowd of smiling
faces. Music and games furnished a
part of the entertainment uRtil about
ten o'clock when all were invited out
to partake of refreshments. The table
fairly groaned under its weight Of
tempting viands and to judge by the
way they disappeared q groan might
have escaped the lips of some of the
partakers a little later on. In the CEN
ire of the table stood a pyramid of
tFuit bedecked with flowers. A little
to one side was placed the Birthday"
Cake, bearing the name and age of
Miss Anthony. On each end of the
table lOomed up pyramid Office cream;
while seated here and there we're
fruits and cakes Of various kinds. I'm
mediately after refreshments all re-
paired to the parlor where Miss Mary
was presented with a very pretty Piano
Lamp, by her friends. Games we're
again indulged in until past midnight
when all joined In a parting song, and
took their various ways home, feeling
that they had spent delightful even
ing. Those present we're;

DOVER, DEL, October 4, 1890.
r. d. HoFFECKER, ESQ.
Dear Sir In an editorial in the
last issue of the SMYRNA TIMES upon
the subject of calling a convention to
amend the Constitution, you say, "The
Republican State Convention adopted
a resolution (which was drafted bv MIR.
Smithers) demanding that the Con-
ventiOn shall be called during 1872:
and in the same editorial it is also
stated that l dissented from a PROPOSE
tion that the General Assembly at its
last session should call such Conven-
tiOn upon the vote of 1887.
You are in error in tie remark that
any resolution was drafted by me
which either demanded or suggested
that a Convention should be called or
held in 1891, and while it is true that
TO a caucus of Republican members of
the Legislature l gave my views ad-
versely to a proposed bill providing
for calling Convention, it is not true
that my opposition was only or even
mainly directed to the iusuficiency of
the vote cast in 1887, but was much
wider in its scope, ard in no respect
has the opinion then held and ex-
pressed been changed or modified.
Very truly,
n. B. SMITHERs.

SMYRNA, DEL, Oct, 6, 1890.
The Society of Christian Endeavor
of the d. E. Church held the first
sociable of the season at the residence
'of Miss Nora Cotton on Friday evening
Oct: 3rd.
The evening was one of rare eniov-
ment, for in addition to the social in
tercOurse aRd games which always
make such meetings pleasant, a still
more attractive figure was introduced
in the shape of a literary program,
which though short, was good.
Misses Hettie Megear and Bertha
Price each sang a solo and seemingly
surpassed themselves in that rare
sweetness of voice which is familiar to
all of our town people,.
An essay upon "Sunlight' was read
by Miss Laura Bell. Notwithstanding
the title, the article proved to be no
Light" production; for there were
rich veins of gold running through the
solid rock, while the surface was
wreathed in garlands of wit sparkling
with dewdrops of originality while
upon the whole the sunlight Of an un-
embarrassed and graceful deliver smil-
ed serenely.
Miss Lizzie CahoOn recited a touch.
ing poem entitled "Our Folks"
Miss Emma Weldon read a selectio n
for the young men about catching-or
missiBg-the train that excited much
laugh ter. The young men were inclined
to believe the truth of the story on the
ground thatit was written by a woman.
We repudiate the insinuation a base
libel on our girls and advise Smyrna
maidens to look elsewhere on the
future or to fight the battle of life
alone.
Virgil Gordon added to the enter.
tsinmeRt of all by his skillful manipu-
latiOn of the Piano Forte.
AT ten O'Clock the genial President
with a charming maiden led the way
to the tastefulF decorated dining
room where he proved himself equal to
the occasion. We think il the disap.
pearance of sandwiches, pickles and

is any proof of strength, the Society
may justly congratulate itself upon
having very strong presiding officers
for the ensuing six months.
Surely these evenings of social inter-
course are doing much to fasten that
spirit Of brOtherly love and kindness
which is so necessary to religious
growth among our young people. And
while the members of the society are
rendering their thanks 10 the social COM
mittee composed of Misses Nora Cot.
ton, Elva Stats. MOllie Weldon. Lidl
Lord and Sallie Cosgrifr for their un.

that all our tOwns-people may well

love and self.sacrifce so Armament
