Steamers in Collision.

The steamer Samuel J. Pentz engaged to
run excursions during the season from Wash
ingtOn 10 River View came in collision with
the fortOlk steamer Washington off Alegan-
drIa on Monday evening last. The steamers
had left their wharves at Washington almost
together and had been racing down the river,
first one having the advantage and then the
other When near Alexandria the Washing
ton, under full head Of steam, attempted to
cross the bow Of the Pentz 10 60 to her wharf
~ Alexandria. The Pentz slowed up, so
that a serious collision was ayerted, bnt the
boats came together broadside, with re-
sounding crash. The excursionists on the
Pents, which was crowded, were frightened
almost into panic: Some of them jumped for
safety over the rail upon the Washington,
and others seized life preservers. Several
women tainted, and one vas thrown into
violent commissions The excursion boat
when struck eareened considerably, and
maay feared she would capsize. Racing by
steamboats, laden heavily with human freight
should be strictly prohibited, and the officers
o! each Of these boats should be heavily fined
In this case fortunately no lives were lost,
cut if racing is permitted between passenger
and excursion steamers, it will not be long
before we will have to chronicle a horrible
disaster.

Getting Ont Of the Ruts.

That Improved methods in farming, and
that lahor.saviRg machinery is fast suppressed
ing the old unimproved and consequently
more costly agricultural implements formerly
used by our farmers, is proven by the fact
that Nj. J. f. Norris has sold this year more
binders, reapcrs, mowers and hay rakes than
was ever sold in this county in any one year
before That our farmers, who work, not
withstanding the assertions Of demagognes to
the contrary, are getting each year more pros
porous, is proven by the fact that it is a raTe
thing indeed now for any farmer in this county
TO send to the city, as many formerly did, for

day, day of rejoicing, was transferred
into day of sadness for David 7. Beals
and his family. His two-year-old boy
was kidnapped and held for ransom.
Friday. one Of sorrow for the family,
was transformed into day of gladness.
The child was recovered.
A Thanksgiving reunion Of the Beals

jr., or Junior Bees,' as the 10y calls
himself, the only boy Of the family and
the particular pride of his father.
While the older members Of the fam
lily were just finishing their dinner at
Z o'clock in the evening, Mr.. Beals' two
children and one OF his grandchildren
were making merry in the hall. Sud.
denly the childish glee ceased and al
most Immediately an outer door was
heard to slam. This aroused the sus.
picions OF Mrs. heals, who ran quickly
TO the hall to find that Junior Beals
was not among his playmates.
She searched the lower floor alone
and without success, and then, becou-
ing really alarmed, called her husband
and their guests, who made thorough
search of the house from cellar to gar
ret over and o!er again. No trace Of
the child was to be found. Lizzie Smith,
the waitress, was also missing. and the
conclusion was arrived at that she had
kidnapped the boy.
Mr.. Beals offered reward of IS, 600
and no questions asked, Friday morn
ing.
At o'clock in the evening man Of
strange appearance presented himself
at the front of tho Beals mansion. He
wore false-face and wig, and was
dressed very much like day.laborer.
He told the servant who answered the
bell that he must see nv. Beals i'm
mediately. Mr.. Beals went to the
door. The man said he was detec-
tive; that he had found the alb
ductress and her accomplices;
that they had the lost child in their
possession; that they demanden $50, 600
ransom, and that he was prepared to
deliver the child to its parents for that
amount Mr.. Beals declined to pay the
sum, and stuck to his original offer
of $4,000. 1t was finally agreed
that the detective" should de-
liver the child for that amount
At 10 o clock a ring Drought Mr.. Beals
to the door. He saw his lost child
in the arms of the rnfian who
had bargained for the de-
livery of the child. Mr.. Beals, who had
drawn $1,000 in bank notes early Fri.
