A Woman Carpenter.

The progressive women Of the times
are striving not only for political power,
but for admission into the medical,
legal and clerical professions. Very few
of them, however, are DESTROYS of earn
ing livelihood as ordinary mechanics
1t is interesting, therefore, to learn from
the Philadelphia Carpenter that lively
young Danish woman, Miss Sophie
Christensen, is anxious to get work III
Chicago as IA carpenter and Joiner. In
the city Of Copenhagen she learned her
trade, to which she was bound as an ap-
prentice. When her apprenticeship was
completed a short tiAe ago, she was adj
mitted to full membership in the union.
She displayed great aptitude and skill
as a worker at the trade, and she is
ready to display specimens of her handi-
craft. Among other things, she has
made self closing bookcase" which
is serviceable, artistic and beautiful and
which is admired by everybody who sees
it. She is but 26 years old, and she ex-
poets to get good job in Chicago as
soon as the trade brightens up.

Henry C. Clayton is Killed on the P, w.
& B. Railroad near Elkton.

Henry G. Clay ION, aged 40 years. a night
trackman on the Iron Hill section of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
railroad, was killed while on duty on Thurs
day night. Charles Briley and John Denver,
who reside near Iron Hil attended Il concert
in Elkton that evening and were walking
home along the track about eleven o'clock,
when they discovered Claytons lifelcss body
in the curve Il mile and half east of Elkton,
known as McCulIoughs curve The body was
i'll half upright position along the edge OF
the cross-ties of the northbound track. the
head resting on the right arm, the elbow
being supported by the end of ono of the ties
Tho unfortunate mans spike hammer lay
near his feet-in the direction Of the ditch
and the lantern still burning was at the side
where it had been placed by Clayton. Every
detail went to show that Clayton had been
sitting on the end of the tits-with his head
resting on his arnl-either asleep or pre-occu-
pied, when the train bore down upon him.
There was no indication that he had met
with foul play. The men signulled north
bound freight train and the body was re-
notified.
Coroner Perry LitZenbelg, Of Elkton, con-
Quoted an inquest over the remains at Iron
Hill on Friday morning. The jury, OF which
Ricketts, Nelson was foreman, returned Il
verdict that the said Harry c. Clayton came
to his death from being struck by II tram on
the northbound track on the p, ". & b.
railroad between Elkton and Iron Hill sta
tions on the night of tho 18th of November
1895 and the said railroad company is in no
way to be ccnsurcd for the accident"

Juniors Attend Church.

Elkton Council, No. %. Junior Order
United American Mechanics attended the NJ.
Church, in Il body, ON Sunday evening, a
special sermon being preached by the pastor.
Rev. A. s. Mowbray. Mr.. Mowbray took as
his text This Man Loveth Our Nation and
Hath Built US n Synagogue;" Luke vii. 5.
He presented the Importance of patriotism,
or love of ones country, by showing how the
sentiment is universally commended Of men
and how the opposite feeling is detested, and
in times of danger punished. This truth re-
ccives added force in the text when we
remember that love of country is made use of
It's reason why the prayers Of this cepturian
should be answered. If patriotism is such
high and noble duty among other nations,
how much more does it become us who have
SO much more in our country to prompt love
and devotion. In this case, as in all Others
love should not end in words but should be
voiced in deeds The question of the hour,
as important as any other, Is: What shall
a man do 20 evince his love to his nation I?
Consider the man Of the text He built a
synagogue. And what was that 1t was u
meeting place first for education. 1t was
where the common people learned about the
law. The Jews had their colleges, but this
was their common school. His example was
wise. We who love our country need to per-
petuate and perfect its system of public edu-
cation. The synagogue stood also for relig-
ion. and we need to learn that upon religion
more than anything else rests our public
welfare. We are a Christian nation, and if
Christianity should cease the nation would
cease. By the promulgaton Of education
and religion, the two hands that hold aloft
the old flag, we can best prove that we love
our nation.

No king OF fears,
In Him appears
Who shuts the scene of human woes;
Beneath His shade,
Securely laid
The dead alone find true repose.

EXPLOSION OF GAS.
JanitOr Holm, of Tome Memorial M. E.
Church Port Deposit, Has
Narrow Escape,

There was considerable excitement in the
vicinity OF Tome Memorial NJ. L. Church, in
Port Deposit, on Saturday afternoon, when
an explosion took place in the gas house
attached to the church and supplying it with
gas-which threatened for time to cause a
serious fire.
Janitor A. j. Holm had been engaged in
making some repairs in the gas house, and
was descending into the pit with lantern
when it fell from his hand and broke. The
gas instantly exploded and the pit became
roaring mass of flames. Janitor Holm reaiz-
ing his danger quickly ascended the ladder
out of the pit, but not before he had been
painfully burned about the face and hands,
Holm had the presence of mind to roll away
several barrels OF gasoline which were dan
gerously close to the flames.
An alarm of fire was given and the fire
company was soon on the scene and extin-
guished the fire before it had communicated
to the church and other buildings Severa
hundred dollars damage was done.
