A Cutting Affair.

O0 Thursday night while an ice cream
supper was in progress at the Salvation
Army barracks, two young men named
William Edwards and John Meredith
were ordered from the hall by Captain
Lowe who had the meeting in charge,
for singing songs, and showing dispo-
sition to disturb the meeting. As they
were leaving the hall, they abused the
captain and dared him out to fight.
The captain wisely refused to go, but
just at this juncture Capt. Jack Jones
member of the Army, and whose dis
erection is not always equal to his Valor,
learning the trouble, followed the two
young men out, and it is claimed by
them, struck one of them. A rough
and tumble fight ensued, IN which how
ever no one was hurt, and the comba-
tants were separated.
1t seems however. Ethat bad blood
existed between Capt Jack and Edwards,
and the former when aroused has the
pluck to face an army. Later the fight
was renewed the captain tackling single
handed both his opponents, and when
they were separated second time, the
valiant captain was discovered to haV9
received three wounds apparently lnfilc-
ted with knife, one on the arm,
second one in the back, and third the
most serious of the three on the back OF
the neck. He was taken to his home on
West Main street where his severest
wound was sewed up, and the others
dressed by DR.. Bratton. A warrant was
issued on which Edwards and Meredith
were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Mackey
both men being in Jail awaiting hear
ing. The friends of the Salvation Army
people regret this affair sincerely, as
they change officers next week, and the
supper which was completely broken up
| by the row, was being held to meet
interest due on their barracks.

Mrs. Eliza j. Williams consort of the
late Captain Alfred c. Williams, died last
week at her residence in Perryville, i'll the
sOth year of her age. She was the last of a
large and respected family. In early life she
was connected with the Presbyterian church
at West Nottingham, and continued a firm
and consistent member until death; and
although her life was unmarked by any
startling or thrilling incidents, yet she
exhibited the humble and unpretending
spirit Of the Christian. She was ever true
to the doctrines of her church, and loved
and enjoyed any religious service, cherish
ing high regard for all ministers of the
gospel, aud unless prevented by sickness
was ALWAYS presenta at worship. She enjoyed
in high degrea the social intercourse o
friends, while her habits were decided
retiring and domestic. Her death was
calm and peaceful, and We doubt not thai
she is with the loved ones gone before, free
from all sickness, pain and loneliness

Why do so Many People Wear
(HIaSSeSp

The answer is easily given. In the first
place, within the last twenty years a great
deal has been learned about the value OF
glasses, and the range of their application
and usefulness has been enormously ex-
tended. As consequence of this statistics
show that the number of persons losing
their sight has greately diminished
| Secondly, the eyes need more help now, the
amount of work they are required to do is
| much greater than at any previous period
| in the worlds history. The sewing machins
and other inventions of this class save the
labor of the hands only to add to that re-
| quired of the eyes The enormous circulation
| the novel and the daily newspaper, the
increasing use of artificial illumination,
| extending the hours of eye work, al
com bine to overtax the eye, so that its aid
and protection are matters OF constantly
increasing Importance.

Probable Improvements on the
the z. w. s. Il. at ElktOn.

the z. w. s. Il. at ElktOn.
A corps OF engineers has been survey
ing for number of weeks, on the 2. W..
& B. railroad for the purpose of straight
ening the tracks between the Elkton
aud Iron Hill towers. The last plan
drawn specifies that the iron bridge, a
short distance east of Elkton be made
the point of divergence, and that the
straigh tening be done on both sides of
the bridge, which therefore would not be
moved. The track between the bridge
and Iron Hill, curves considerably and it
is estimated that the new track at its
farthest point would be 900 feet south of
it. On the Elkton side, or that between
the bridge and Elkton tower, is large
curve, almost extending to the depot
The track would run on the north side,
crossing North st. short distance above
the present point, over the site of the
buildings owned by DR.. lamar, intercept

tank now stands. This would necessi

station, aud it is reported that should
the above plan be adopted, new station
will be erected on North St.. on the
south, or town, side of the tracks. The
road would be built on grade and the
street depressed, SO as to enable passen-
gers to reach the south bound track by
crossing underneath. These improve
ments have recently been made at Chester
Pa. and it is to be hoped that Elkton
will soon have the same protection
against accidents. As it is now, the
station is TOO close to the tracks, and on
the North side, SO that a person in
Elkton desiring to travel Northward, is
required to cross the tracks twice. Owing
to the curve east of the station train
coming southwark cannot be seen until
it is almost upon you.

home "The Hermitage" near Glasgow
in honor of the Misses Gussie and Lille

of a musical and literary nature were
rendered much to the enjoyment of the
ladies' present Miss Woodwell's recitation
of Josiah; ALLEN and his wife's trip to
New York, and a ride in street
car was ably rendered and caused much
laughter and merriment. The floral
decorations were choice, and pretty
noticeable among the table decorations
was the center piece an exquisite design
in Gala lilies and ivy. Among those
present were Misses Maggie Lewis, Laura
