George Ringled, aged 16years, was serious
ly injured by the discharge OF cannon while
he was taking part in the siege of Vera Cruz,
in Baltimore, on Monday night. After giving
the signal to fire instead of stepping back he
went forward and received the discharge in
his right side. The wound is an ugly one,
and the unfortunate young man has about one
chance in a thousand of recovering. About
one-third of the right side between the hip
bone and the knee was carried away, and the
intestines we're exposed. The wound looks
as though person had taken big knife and
carved out big lump of flesh.
Abel C. Henreckle, George A. Nipple and
George Hemmell, three safemakerS, living on
Carroll avenue, in Baltimore, are held on the
charge of assaulting and cutting Chas. Mors-
berger with intent TO kill on Saturday night.
Morsberger is butcher, and met the three
men on Frederick road, opposite Mount
| Olivet Cemetery. Words passed between
them, and soon Morsberger and Hummell
were lighting. When the fight was over
| Morsberger was found to have been cut in
seven places One cut in the neck nearly
severed the windpipe. The most serious cut
was in the side. The other cuts were on the
wrist and arms.
A disastrous storm passed through Caroline
county. near Hillsboro, Saturday afternoon
| The wind came almost west. Large damage
to crops and orchards in the vicinity OF Skip
ton are reported. The storm swept tract
seyenty-live yards wide through the peacl
orchard of George Smith, uprooting every
peach tree in the path of the storm Ih'
| buggy of w. T.. Sylvester was lifted from the
ground and carried one hundred and hit.
Yards; W. A. Wilson's carriage had the entlr'
back torn off Many farmers lost heavily b.
damage to corn and peaches. The damage
to peaches will probably reach several thons
and baskets. Later accounts state that tht
storm partook of the character of a cyclone
and in passing through forests and orchard
trees were wrenched off or torn up like sap
plings. The loss to fruit growers is almos
incalculable, as some of the finest trees wer
in the track of the storm.

church was filled to overlooking, many not
being able to get inside. The program in
cluded singing, recitations and responsive
readings Miss Lennie Wright was organist,
assisted by George Byers on the cornet. The
singing was excellent and the recitations by
Rudolph Rowe, Chas. Mennick, Elsie Leeds,
Frank Saylor, Mary Messerly and Lille
Phillips were worthy of special mention.
