Cooper Captured.

The negro, Horace Cooper, who
shot and killed Maggie Pitt the
colored girl at Cokesbury two weeks
ago, was arrested in Columbia, Pa,
and lodged in Ellton Jail last
Saturday morning. Deputy Sheriff
Mackey was notified on Friday
morning by Lamuel Jones, colored,
at Cokesbury, to come to see MIN.
Mackey went to the house of Jones
and was shown letter postmarked
at Columbia, Pa, and signed by
Charles Henry Clark. Jones stated
to Mackey that he did not know
any person by that name and re-
cognized the handwriting as
Cooper's. The deputy sheriff, in
company with States Attorney
Austin L. Crothers, started late
Friday afternoon for Columbia in
search of Cooper. They placed the
matter in the hands of Chief of
Police Witticks, who, with Officer
Campbell, arrested the accused
about O'Clock in the evening. AS
he consented to go back to Mary
land without requisition he was
handed over to Deputy Sheriff
Mackey. Cooper made no resist
ance when arrested: He told
Mackey that he had been looking
for him ever since the shooting. He
was surprised to hear that the girl
was dead, and did not know it until
informed of the fact by Mackey,
He does not deny the shooting, and
says jealousy was the cause. He
says he wanted to marry her, but
as she refused him he made up his
mind to kill her. He says the
stories that he had been hiding in
Elk Neck are all false, and that he
had been in Columbia ever since
the shooting. Cooper is very
tall negro, and has the appearance
of being a desperate character. 1t
is probable that he will be tried at
the December term of court, which
meets on the third Monday of this
month.

The New Law.

On Saturday the new law regulat-
ing the tenure of office and salary
of the county commissioners of Cecil
county, as passed by the last session
of the Legislature, went into effect.
The law provides that the COM
missioners shall receive $500 each
annually, which shall be in lieu of
all other compensation, per diem Or
mileage. Under the old law the
commissioners have received pay
amounting to over $1,000 in year
by charging per diem and mileage
when engaged in the business of
the county, The term of office is
also reduced by two years, making
the term four years.
The salary feature is a good law.

had secured drills and other tools
for the job from neighboring
blacksmith shop which they kindly
left on the premises.

Suicide.

James McKOwn, an inmate OF the
County Insane Asylum, at Cherry
Hill, committed suicide Sunday
night or early Monday morning by
hanging himself. James I'll. Steele,
superintendent of the institution,
went to his room on the second
floor of the building, and was sur
prised to find McKown hanging
from the bars that cover the window.
He had taken a strip of the sheet
from his bed, and, after making it
fast to the bar, had placed the
knot around his neck and thus took
his life. He was seventy eight
years old, and only entered the
institution on Friday morning last.
He was placed in the asylum at his
own request. He would often be-
come violently insane, and for fear
he would kill his wife he consented
to 90 to the asylum. His home was
at Charlestown, where his wife re-
sides. He was the father of four
children, twosons and two daughters
About twelve years ago he had a
son killed by the cars at Charles
town, and since that time had not
been in his right mind except at
intervals. He several times threat
ened to take his life, but was pre-
vented. He left a note to the sup
erintendent asking that his effects
be sent home. He also left letter
addressed to his wife, in which he
inclosed $9.37. For many years he
followed the water and was known
generally as Captain McKown. He
leaves some little property.

An Un-..warranted" Accident.

Last Tuesday evening Constable Benz
Briscoe served a warrant on David P.
Wright and took him to Elkton the fol-
lowing day, to secure him as witness in
the Riley-Pogue case After Wright had
given suitable guarantee to appear at
court, the Constable and his charge start
ed to return to the Sun. When near
Pennington, as result of rough road,
reckless driving and undue hilarity, one
of the horses, belonging to liveryman H.
c. Cummings, sustained a broken leg
which rendered the animal worthless and
it was presented to VIM Thomas to be
patched up or converted into dog meat.

The Parson Had a Big Days Work.

AS it does not often happen that
the preacher is so hard worked as
Rev. j. Earl Maloy of the Rowland
vile church, it is worth narrating.
The story of his labors was furnish
ed the Democrat last week. He
attended the Sabbath school at $50
preached a Thanksgiving sermon at
1890 before Cecil Council of Port
Deposit Jr. o. U. A. NJ; married
Miss Blanche Mccullough of Pilot
Town, to Mr.. George w. Trimble,
of the same place at noon and then
drove to Bethesda, one of his
country churches, where hepreached
to the Susquehanna Council Of the
order of Mechanics and concluded
his days labor by participating in
the Christian Endeavor service
held in his church at night. He
thinks repetition of such a days
labor would not be Objectionable
since it proved so remunerative,
his brethren, the Mechanics, re-
warding him for his service.
That balm ofGileld the Mechanics
used no doubt had strengthening
influence.
