As southbouud accommodation train,
No. %, Que at the Elktoa station at 6.43
p. m. was being backed on sizing q
short distance below the depot on Sat-
urday evening, to allow the Congressional
limited to pass, the rear Car was 6erailsd

The car WAS replaced and il again at
tempting to back in, the locomotive failed
to pass tho main line switch and wa: also
deraiied. The wIeokilg train from
Perryville was summoned and the track
was cleared in several hours. The north
bound track was used by trains in both
directions, which caused considerable
delay to travel. The passengers OF the
wrecked train were detained at Eikton

little Oliver, still asking for more" is a
distinction gaiaed by few writer's. Miss
Martha Finley, whose pleasant face Is

has done this, aid written score or
more OF other books besides.
Size is ono of the moat popular writer's
of sunday school literature in this

writing pays, it is said that her Income
! from her books is considerably over
| $4,000 a year.
Miss Finley was born 81 years ago in

| fourteen children. Her grandfather was
General Samuel Finley, of Revolutionary
| War fame Like SO many other writers,

living at the latter place that she
published her first story in local
paper.
Then followed some little Sunday
school books and newspaper stories,
until few years after the war she
published Elsie Dinsmore," which at
once made her popular with young folks
the country over, and is still one OF the

On Sunday morning while Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Engine Ne. 223 was
standing at the water plug on the
Columbia and Port Deposit Railroad
track, at Perryville, train No. $40, Balti-
more and Perryvill accommodation, OF
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroad, crashed into it. The
force of the collision threw both locomo,
tiycs from the track, breaking the front
ends of each. None of the cars left the
rails, and NO one was injured. 1t is said

ACTIVE BURGLARS.
North East the Centre of Num-
erous Operations.

An active gang of cracSsmer effected
numerous rurglarles at North East this
week. On Tuesday night the clothing store
of S. j. Reeier was entered and robbed OF
three suits of clothes, an overcoat, an
amount of jewelry, and other merchandise,
valued in al at about 500. The entrance
was effected through a rear window. 1t is
thought that there were three of the thieves
Mrs. q. L. Thomas who lives opposite Il,
l.. Thomas store, saw three men trying to
effect an entrance into his store the same
night. She frightened them away by open
ing a door. Among the articles stolen were
three silk handerchiefa and which were
discovered on Wednesday morning lying
along the b. & O railroad tracks in the
direction of Wilmington. This clue was
taken up and the Wilmington authorities
notified.
Ga Thursday night the burglars operated
extensively. It. is supposed the work was
accomplished during the middle of the
night. The p. w. and b. depot was entered
the loci. being pryed from the main door
and thence an entrance WIS forced into the
Office by bursting in that door. TIE men
evidently desired money only and secured
nothing at the depot.
By forcing a FROM window the general
merchandise store of Samuel Shippers across
from the depot, was entered and looted oil
about 81 III change. In the centre of the
town, the bu7 glars secured about $50 from
the meat store of Leedom and Abrams
The front door was pryed open the money
secured being in a safe which was unlocked
T. NJ. Sine )s's genera! ne;chandiso store
was also entered the burglars breaking the
safe which at that time contained no money
| otherwise tho store was undissurbed
Hotel Cecil, Ira Wells proprietor, was also
entered the front door being forced. Th
burglars secured nothing. AS yet no olu
is reported upon which to apprehend tn
| perpetrators.

The Salvation Army.

1t is the habit OF many persons who
are net in sympathy with tie methods of
Tie Salvation Army leaders, to sneer at
tie Organization and derfda lis humble
workers. Such persons should find
very interesting reading III the statistics
OF the Army presented by Commander
Ballineton Booth at the Continental
Congress OF tie Salvation Army in

Hall New York. From this report We
learn that the Indoor congregations for
the past twelve months numbered

and outposts were established, and that
