A distressing boating accident occurred
at Patrick's Landing, picnic resort
four miles from Salisbury, in WioOmicO
county, on Tuesday in which four young
ladies were drowned.
A picnic party composed OF seventy
five persons. the families of neighboring
farmers OF Rockawalking, had assembled
to pass the day together. After supper
the four young ladies, viz, Miss Lula
johnson, daughter of Josiah Johnson;
Miss Marian Smith of Baltimore; Miss
Haggie Tay lor, and Miss Nellie T. Patrick
daughter OF Albert Patrick, owner of the
farm, in company with two young men,
Mr.. William Marshall and Mr. George
Williams, started on the river i'll a sail
boat for sail. A short time after they
left the landing some enc heard cry
and the men rushed to the waters edge
in time to see the boat turn over before
assistance could reach them. All the
young ladies' were drowned. Williams
saved himself by crawling on the bottom
of the boat, but Marshall was dragged o
the shore more dead than alive Ho will

Sensation in Church.

A sensational incident without prece-
dent in the history of the church occurred
in the Union Methodist Episcopal Church
Fifth and Mount Vernon streets, Camden
New Jersey on Sunday last. At the
morning services, after Rev. G. G
Stauger the pastor had delivered the
sermon, he invited all persons who had
progressed conversion during the past
winter and who had been on probation
for six months and had been passed
upon favorably by the official beard of
the church to present themselves at the
altar to be received into full member
ship. Mr. Stranger asked:
elias any one any good reason why
any of the persons presented here before
me should not be received as full mem
bers?"
Just then a woman about thirty three
years old, dressed in deep mourning,
rose, and pointing to gray haired man
who was in the line Of probationers cried
out:
10 you d5h IL dHS pl+o HOS opJSSIi'AiS
Yes, have. l object 80 Joel Reed, my
husband being admitted and have good
cause
What are the objections" asked the
minister.
HE is my husband and has not sur
ported me and my children for over a
year. These are my reasons" was the
| answer
Immediately there was great confu'
sion in the church. Deacon Isaac LORD
arose and approached the woman. Sht
declared that she was Mrs. Kate Reed
and had been married for ten years to the
man who was about to be taken into the
church, and tina her accusation against
him could be sustained. The pastor
announced that, although Mr.. Reed had
passed the necessary term of probation
he could not be received.
Reeds friends say that his wife will
not live i'll the house. he is able to pre-
vide, and year ago went to her father
since which time he has refused to Civ
her money.

A Brave Act.

Exhibitions of bravery and acts Of
heroism are not confined to the battle
field, nor are we always to look to his
tory for the highest records of personal
courage. In the daily history of rail-
roads, in tle crowded streets of our
large cities, everywhere in fact where
men most congregato brave acts are per-
formed by unsupg heroes, and deeds OF
gallantry pass uurecogGized. If Queen
Victoria while riding down Picadilly,
or Mrs. Cleveland while taking turn
down Pennsylvania Avenue should be as
gallautry rescued from perilous posi-
ton as a little son of William Bryson
was by Young Walter Scott on the street
of Elkten on Monday, The world woult
have wrung with applause Of the brave
deed Yet Walter Scott never dreamed
at the moment that he was doing brave
thing. He simply obeyed natural
impulse to assist another in trouble and
he drove home feeling not whit more
a hero than when be drove into Elkton.
But he was for all that, for he had done
like brave man what one out of hun
dred or possibly 4 thousand would not
have dared to do
William Bry son drore into Elkton on
Monday with two horse load of peaches
his little son a boy of six accompanying
him While selling fruit at the Howard
House his horses young aud mettlesome
took fright a1d dashed madly up North
street, the child alone III the wagon
helpIessly holding the relus. At the
corner of High and North streets Robert
Scott and his son Walter, "a young man
about 10. of the Fourth district were
Just starting for home when the runaway
team came dashiUg up the street. In
the flash of al eye, Walter sprang from
| tho carriage, and dashing right at the
hoads of the flying horses, caught the
| check rein OF the horse nearest him, and
hanging like grim death to his hold, the
horse seized kicking and plunging as he
ran, be brought the team to full stop
ere 1t had fairly turned the corner. No
| one who saw that team turn that corner
ever dreamed the child could have
escaped But Providence watches over
little children and this time his name
was Walter Scott. It's a good name
anyhow, and especially SO when pertixed
to a brave act.

MIR. EDITOR.
1t is a notable fact, that while in the
North the hue and cry against pensions
for the old Union soldiers is each day
growing mere intense and vindictiVe,
there comes from the South no sign of
objection to pensioning the Elk Confed-
crate, MANNED or broken through loss OF
health. Those who fought with zeal,
valor and desperation worthy of a nobler
cause are pensioned in several of the
states out of fund raised by special
taxation. 1t is willingly paid. Il is
lovingly paid. There is enc thing GER
tain, the South has never turned its back
on the men that followed the stars and
bars. They are loved in their day aud
generation. Among them are no coffee
coolies, loafers, dead beats, hospital
tramps and towards. 1t is somewhat
different North among a certain class.
The reason is plain. The South almost
to man was loyal to their cause, while
in the North we were aud are still cursed
with lot of cowardly copperheads, who
were afraid to fight but who loose no
opportunity to stab Union soldier in
the back.
How is it we hear no bowling about the
vets of the Mexican war receiving IA
PENSION The total number OF men
enlisted during that war was 1916.
Every man of them living gets pension
of from 8 to l2 dollars per month with,
out any question as to disability. say
it is right. 1t is just. But the soldiers
of the war for the Union who endured
the long marches and terrible fighting
are denounced as bounty Jumpers, deser-
tiers, &c, if they apply for or receive a
few dollars per month for undoubted
disabilities in years of hard service.
