Secretary Tracy explained that 81,
war vessels, the Lancaster, Alliance
Alert, Monocacy, Marion and Polo
were in Chinese waters ready to pro.
tect American citizens against anti.
foreign outbursts.
Two Liverpool lads named Crawford
and Shearon and but eight years Of
age, were arrested for and confessed
the deliberate murder of a companion
of their own age. They took the boys
clothes and pawned them.
The floods have been general in the
south of Spain. The damage done is
terrible in its extent. Several railroad
trains have been derailed and railroad
tracks and roads are everywhere wash
ed away. Crops have been ruined and
famine follows the flood.
Charles Howard, who was arrested
at Whiting, Ind, OH suspicion of at
tempted train wrecking on the Pitts
burg & Fort Wayne road, made full
confession to the police. He stated
that he and his companions had in
tended to rob the express cars, but had
no desire to injure the passengers. He
could not restrain his joy at seeing the
train stop without injury, and it was
owing to his forgetfulne that his ar
rest was effected.

The shipments of wheat to Europe
have amounted, within a short time,
to 107, 900, 900 bushels and the demand
has practically ceased from that quar-
ter. The war scare of the last few
days caused slight reaction in favor
of higher prices, but when it was
shown that there was no reason for
immediate hostilities prices again de-
clined. The visible supply increased
this week by more than 1000, 900 BUSH
els. There is slight ground for the
hope of general rise in prices in the
near future. Tho supply in Europe is
sufficient for the present, but the def
cheney in European crops of all kinds
will necessitate the shipment of much
of our surplus to the other side.

When Peaches Paw,

The New York Sun says Peaches
wholesale in New York as cheap as
any other city in the world save, per-
haps, Baltimore, but retail at higher
rates than in almost in any other town
within easy reach of peach-growing
region. The basket that WHOLESALERS at
40 cents on the wharf is doled out by
the grocer at rates that bring it up to
SIS or Sc. There are from 100 to $50
peaches IN a basket, and even at two
for five cents this makes the retail
price from $3.50 to 1915 a basket.
the cause of all this lies in the dis
tance of most New Workers from local
markets and the necessity entailed by
cramped houses for buying supplies in
small quantities.

Colonel vannort.s Superior Gifts.
Col. William J. Vannort, the Re
publican candidate for Governor of
Maryland. is anxious to demonstrate
his superior gifts of craftsmanship and
to demonstrate to the farmers his abil-
lty to govern the state, and has chal-
lenged Mr.. Frank Brown, his oppon-
ent, to meet him in ploughing con
test. The contest Col. Vannort de-
slres to take place at any agricultural
fair in the state between now and elec-
tion day. and each statesman is to
plough one acre of ground with teams
to which he is not accustomed. The
judges are to be practical farmers, and
the warrior candidate is "willing to
submit his ability as farmer and
a ploughboy to any fair-minded farmer
in the state" Col. Vannort seems to
have grasped accurately the idea of
the duties Of the Governorship, but it
remains to be seen whether he has
gauged the intelligence Of the farmer
vote with equal exactitude.

The Eastern Shore of Maryland has
been so little disturbed by immigration
that the region numbers comparatively
few surnames, so that at various times
it has been necessary to resort to odd
but very ancient devices to distinguish
between men bearing the same name.
The commonest device is the patronym-
ic, by which of two men bearing exact
ly the same Christian and family names,
one is distinguished from the other by
the addition ''of William" ''of
Thomas" or ''of John," as the case
may be, the meaning of the phrase be-
ing "son of William, Thomas, or
JOHN" Another device once common
ly employed was to couple with the
name an adjective to indicate some
physical popularity, as ''long" to indi-
cate tall man, "black" to indicate a
dark man, or 'red" to indicate ruddy
man. Occasionally the distinguishing
word is uncomplimentary. ''Devil"
is not an unusual prefix to tlle Chris
tian or surname of a man having a re-
putation for vice Or recklessness. A
man bearing one of the best-known
names in Maryland carried to his grave
this prefx.-New York Sun.

A Tragedy at Delmar.

A terrible tragedy, in which two
young men were mortally wounded, oc.
CURED Thursday night at village
camp-meeting held under the auspices
of the Methodist Episcopal Church at
Delmar, a railroad terminus six miles
south of Laurel.
A fued has existed between Freder-
ick, a grown son Of Major Williams, a
prominent farmer of the county, and a
young man named Harvey Wells, no.
torious character, though of aristo-
cratic parentage, for the past four
years. The trouble began in 1887 when
an estimable young lady of the neigh
borhood received very insulting val
entine. After the lady's brother had
accused Williams of being the author
and failed in an attempt to thrash him,
Wells took a part in it and the two
men were badly used up. Since then
they have been deadly enemies.
Thursday night Williams, in COM
pany with several young women, in
cluding his two sisters, attended the
camp-meeting, and they were talking
gleefully when Wells drove up. Rec
ognizing his enemy Wells walkel up
and deliberately pushed Williams
with violence against the ladies.
Williams resented the insult in
strong terms, whereupon they came to
blows. A deacon of the church sepa-
rated them and admonished them to
leave the grounds. Both contestants,
without saying word, walked to the
public road nearby, whers they renew
ed the contest with increased violence.
Williams, who is much smaller man
than his burly adversary, was getting
much the best Of the encounter, when
Walls drew huge hooked pruning
knife. With his right hand he used
the weapon viciously. and at the same
time in some manner he got Williams
under his left arm and with a deter
mined effort to SAY his antagonist he
slashed the others bare neck with his
ugly weapon, completely severing all |
The arteries and veins Of the left side
to the bone. He again raised the knife
TO complete his foul work.
In the meantime Williams had drawn
his revolver and fired one shot, which
Look effect in Wells collar bone.
Wells then realizing that he had sue
carried out his intention,
made another thrust at Williams, this
lime cutting out his antagonists left
,ye. Another bullet from Williams
pistol struck Wells Immediately over
he heart. The latter then started to
'un, but was caught by Williams who
leld him with his left hand and with
lis right hand aimed another ball for
Vells' heart. The bullet, however.
odged in his own wrist.
Wells then broke and ran, pursued
y Williams, who, after emptying every
hamber of his revolver, shouted for
is brother to get a doctor quickly.

Sheehan was not backed by Hill. The
ticket meets the approval of all but

They now threaten to nominate him

however assured and the better ele-
