ceeded far down Isabella street when
the struggle began. The two men
clinched while setting side by side on
road cart They punched and tore
at each other, and finally Beach got in
Il blow which broke Walters nose.
When the two had finished with each
other they were covered with blood
and presented a sorry spectacle

Corn go Wheat % cents.

On the Chicago Exchange Tuesday
corn jumped up to go cents a bushel.
With wheat at 55 cents it looks as
though corn is indeed King.
\ Baltimore paper OF the same day
says this of the Baltimore market:
The sudden rise in the price of corn
yesterday, was. no doubt, due, in great
measure, to reports of a continued and
extensive drouth in the west, but was
aided and abetted by the bulls of the
Chicago market 1t is something very
unus,...l io lind the price of corn higher
than the price Of wheat. but such was
the case Yesterday. The reports from
the West indicate that the crop will
not he one-third what was expected,
but whether this will be true when the
harvest comes in remains to he seen.
With the rise in corn came a sympa-
thetic increase in the price of both
wheat and oats, and the market closed
firm for all the cereals.

FORGER BAKER SCARED.
Thought the Marylanders In
tended to Lynch Him.
BEI.AIg, Mp, Aug. ).

BELAIR, Mp, Aug. D.
Horace ID. Baker, alias George Il.
Sage, the forger and bank robber, was
safely landed in Hortord County Jail
last night. He was met at the Jail by
a large crowd of town and country peo-
pie, who had heard OF his coming, and
assembled to get view OF him. lie
was evidently badly frightened at the
demonstration, and qdickly ran into the
Jail as soon as he landed from the car
riage in which he had ridden from Van
Bibber. As soon as Sheriff Hughes
closed the door behind him he gave a
sigh of relief.
Since he was in Hartford last spring
buying land, he has removed his whis-
kers and otherwise changed his appear
ance. Notwithstanding this, he was
readily recognized. As the next jury
term of Court in Hartford County does
not begin until November. he will have
to remain in Jail here until that time,
unless he shall he removed for greater
security or bailed out, which is not
probable.
BELAIR, Aug. S.-Robert r. Har
vey, alias George T.. Sage, the alleged
Hartford National Bank vistimizer. sat
quietly in his cell to-day and conversed
but little. The nerve OF which he has
been possessed heretofore seems To he
leaving him. He stated that he had
nothing TO say about the affair more
than this Is case of mistaken identity
and before court ends will he prepar-
ed TO show it.
Harvey has given it out that he has
about $4,000 to Use in the defense. and
will spend it all if necessary. He adj
vised his wife, before leaving Vineland
to draw her money out of bank lest it
should be attached. Several of his
friends visited him yesterday and
found him in quite pensive mood.
William Finney, teller of the Har-
ford Bank, stated to the Herald cor
respondent to-day that the man now in
Jail is the man to whom he gave the
money OH May II last and twice be-

In recent issue of the .Line
Farmer attention is called to the fact
that the hard times and want of en-
ployment in cities ami towns have
caused many persons to return to the
country and buy farms. The Farmer
commends the movement and observes
that the industrious workingmen on a
farm OF his own will never lack en-
plovment. There may not" it says,
"be so much money handled from
their labor OH their farm, but in many
cases that labor judicially expended on
the land will bring more for the outlay
in other and necessary forms than the
money earnings in the city can pur-
chase. This drift. then, from the
city TO the better and happier homes
on the farms should be encouraged.
There never was, and probably never
will he, Il better time to make the
change than now. Farms, whenever
found for sale. are surprisingly low in
value"
A correspondent who sends us the
clippings from the Farmer says the
Baltimore San, notes the fact that in
Maryland too, there are many farms
to he had by workmen who are tired
of the uncertainties of life in over
crowded cities. There are" he says,
thousands of farms IN Maryland to
be had at from one-third to one-iifth
of their actual value. Now is the
time for those in the cities who desire
a change of occupation to get back to
the old farmhouse, where they will
enjoy quiet rest from the excitement
and conflicts of the city life"
Cnquestionably the movement from
the country to the city has been over
done. Our periods of hard times will
not be without compensation II they
cause a revival of the old-time prefer
ence for the independence and whole
some mode of the life of the farmer.
A farm may not now be means
of getting rich fast. but it insures a
living if carefully looked after, and
as an investment it compares favor
ably just now with some other kinds
Of property. The experience Of the
last year or two with railroad stocks
and bonds has convinced many per-
sons that, after all, there is something
very solid about land and houses.

After the Fire.

Like many Others of our citizens
the editors Of the MESSENGER have
had much To be thankful for during
the twelve months that have elapsed
since the great conflagration which
destroyed the MESSENGER office and
all therein, together with about $780,
900 worth OF other property in this
town. Knowing that We had sustained
a heavy loss. it was no wonder that
our readers were surprised ut receiving
the succeeding issue OF the MESSENGER
containing a full account of the
disastrous fire and its consequences.
Before the sun arose over the ruins
the editors had considered the expecta-
tions of their friends and patrons and
had determined not to disappoint them.
They therefore set to work for the
accomplishment of the anticipations of
these friends, and ON Thursday, the
second day after the fire, the regular
issue of the MESSENGER was in print.
The many letters OF congatulation
received from friends and readers, and
the numerous concentrations of our
enterprise by the best papers in the
COUNTRY amply repaid us for our
trouble and expenses. Since that time
our business has continued to grow in
such manner as to make us feel
proud of it, and truly grateful to those
who have stood steadiastly by Us.
Our effort in the future, rs in the past,
will be to show our appreciation oi'
others friendship and patronage. We
will always be found ready, willing
and anxious to serve those who are
entitled TO our service in any and
every worthy undertaking or aspira-
ton. As the MESSENGER survived
this destruction of everything except
its name, so it will always survive any
calamity that may betall it. 1t will
live on forever to further the interests
of its readers, and advocate all that
pertains 10 the future prosperity of
Worcester county, to the advancement
and interest of which it has been
dedicated.

PERJURY SENT HIM TO
PRISON.
Because His Sweetheart through
Fear, SwOre Falsely, George
LObcr Spent Five Years
in the Pcnitentiary.

An application was filed with Coy
enor Brown last week for the pardon
of George Lober. lie was convicted
of arson at Elkton. Cecil County, on
January Sth, 1889 was sentenced Ia
Is years imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary.
The witness upon whose testimony
Lober was convicted, after five years
silence. has confessed that she periurel
herself at the trial, and that she swore
to untruths because her sister made her
do SO.
4 few weeks before I.obers' trial and
conviction the house and barn of Isaac
Burbank, near Churchville, Hartford
county, burned to the ground. Suspi-
cion fell on Lober, who had worked for
Burbank. and the fact that he disap.
peared the night of the fire increased
the feeling against him. Popular feel
ing grew so strong against him that there
was talk Of lynching. He was court
ing Weeks, but her sister Kate took a
dislike to him and did all she could to
embitter Mary against him. She got
the men about the place down on him,
and the night OF the fire, at her instiga-
ton. it is claimed, they plotted to as
sault him. Mary informed him of the
plot and he went to Aberdeen TO es-
cape. After his departure the house
and barn caught fire and both build
ings were burned to the ground, the
family narrowly escaping with their
lives. After the fire, he claims, Kate
Weeks, who held some secret over her
sister Mary's head, forced herto charge
him with the crime, and his arrest fol-
lowed Mary Weeks took the stand
and swore that on the night of the fire,
shortly before it broke out, Lober told
her he intended setting fire to the house,
and soon afterward il was in flames. \
lot of other damaging testimony was
produced and L0ber came very near
being sentenced to death.

that there is already glut in the mar
