Hurst, grandfather of John +. Hurst, came
from England in 1865 and settled in Dor.
chester, where he erected a family mansion.
built in the style of ancient English houses
and of materials imported from England.
Weare Neck farm, as the old homestead
was called, which is on the Great Choptank
river, about three miles from Cambridge
was the birthplace of John E. Hurst. who
was born October 81, 1882.
The father, Stephen Hurst, died when the
son was fourteen years old, and in the fol-
lowing year, 1S47, John L. Hurst removed.

How proud it ought to make us AM
orleans feel to read of the $40, 900 din
ner given by young Wanamaker to his
London acquaintance. How delicate
and refined the affair must make us APP
pear in the eyes of European ladies and
gentlemen. True, we may say that we
are Americans and do not care a con-
tinental what Europeans think of us or
our customs, but it is not so, and if
they laughed in their sleeves at the
young man who thought that costli-
ness and ostentation came before deli
cacy and refinement, we are sure that
many of the better class of the Ameri-
can colony in England and on the con-
tinent will not laugh with them, for
modification is hardly likely to raise
smile. Try again Mr.. Wanamaker.
Get up a larger dinner at which whole
oxen can be given to each guest and
instead of a case of wine apiece each
diner can take a swim in a tank filled
with beer. Truly, some peoples ideas
Of what is tasteful and proper are vastly
opposed to the ideas of otherS who can
hardly reconcile refinement and good
living with gluttony.

THREE BOYS KILLED.
Horrible Accident Near Hyatts-
vile, in Which Three Boys are
Lost-An Express Trains
Awful Work.

The Baltimore Herdid of last Mon
day had the following account of hor-
nbIe accident near Hyattsville
One of the most shocking railway acct
dents that has occurred iu'this State in
recent years, took place about midnight
on Saturday, near Hyattsville, Mont
gomery county.
Three boys-Charles +. Lynch, aged
Is; his cousin, J. Walters Blundon,
aged -, of Riverside Park, near Hy-
attsvilie, and John G. Brown, aged Is,
of Washington d. C.-were the vic
Tins, all of them being instantly killed
and horribly mangled.
The boys were struck by train 500 of
the Royal Blue Express, southbound,
aud were hurled from the railway
track and thrown into ditch near the
side of the road.
Their heads were completely torn off
by the force of the shock, and their
bodies were frightfully mangled.
The engineer, it is thought, did not
know anything unusual had happened,
aud sad surprise awaited him at his
destination.
Two of the boys killed, Blundon and
Lynch, were cousins. With Brown
they left the home of young Blundon,
at Riverside Park, near Hyattsville,
to go to the house of Thomas Lancas-
ter, colored man, for the purpose of
purchasing pigeons. Lancaster lives
some distance from Riverside Park
and the boys had considerable walk
before them
They were absent for some time, and
Mr.. Blundon, father of the unfortun-
ate, became alarmed at his sons alb
sence. He went over to the house OF
young Lynch, and proposed to the
father that they go in search of the
boys, whom he thought were playing
somewhere along tue road.
- Together the fond parents searched
N the darkness for their sons without
success. They returned home and re-
tired, thinking that their children were
safe a-bed.
Between and 6 O'clock Sunday
morning John Garner, colored, EN-
ployed by Mr.. Riley, who resides
near Riverside Park, while going to
work along the railroad track perceiv-
ed great deal of blood on the track at
tuO Spol "hClS tue UoyS were SlTuch.
He at once began an examination of
the locality. To his horror he discov-
cred the three boys dead in ditch at
the side of the track, young Brown
lying alone and the cousins, Lynch
and Blundon, clasped in each others
arms some distance away. The bodies
were laying face downward, and were
bathed in blood.
BY a singular coincidence the spot
where the lads were struck is almost
directly opposite the 81 undon resi-
dence, from the windows of which the
bodies could have been seen.
The grief of the stricken families of
the unfortunate lads was something
terrible, and those present were COM
PEELED to turn away. A jury of in
quest was impanneled but adjourned
until futher particulars could be
learned.

The New Tariff Law.

The new tariff law, better known as
the Senate law, is the law so highly
endorsed in recent article from the
Philadelphia Record, the squarest
Democratic newspaper published north
of the Schuylkill. The superiority of
this law over the Wilson bill is frankly
admitted, but strangely enough some
newspapers in Maryland fail to recog-
nize the fact. The wisdom aud good
effects of the Senate law is being real
lied by the people and the Treasury
of the United States. 1t will soon turn
into the Treasury forty millions annu-
ally, besides saving ten millions in
bounties, without in the slightest de-
gree increasing the cost of sugar to the
consumers. The Mckinley Act de-
prived the Treasury of forty millions
OF revenue to pay expenses of the gov
eminent, caused the Treasury to pay
ten millions in bounties, and taxed the
people twenty millions for the benefit
of the sugar trust, without benefiting
them farthing. "All hail" the SEN
ate tariff act-kick on Republicans,
the dead corpse of the Wilson bill; YOU
fear to touch the living Senate act
Er.

Before the ballot was announced the four
votes of Montgomery were changed to Hurst.
CARROTS one vote also swerved from Jones
to Hurst; Calvert's one vote for Hayes also
went over, and then William T. Bledler,
who had put Hayes in nomination, changed
his vote to Hurst and moved to make the
nomination unanimous, which motion was
carried at 2.55 =. NJ. : and the Democratic
candidate for Governor was nominated by a
united convention.
The call of counties for nominating can
didate for Comptroller was then started, and
when Kent was reached the name of Marion
Dekalb Smith, the present incumbent, was
put before the convention. The nomina-
tons were then closed by unanimous con-
sent and the candidate nominated by accla-
nation.
John 5. Writ, of Cecil, the call having
commenced for nominating candidate for
Attorney General, placed in nomination
Senator Charles c. Crothers of that county.
who was seconded by Hartford County peo-
pie, and j. Clarence Lane, of Washington.
nominated Gen. Henry Kyd Douglas, who
was seconded by James H. Preston, of Bal
timOre City.
These were the only names placed before
the convention, and the result of the ballot
ing was majority for Crothers of S3-10O
votes being cast for him and but II for
Douglas. Like the other nominations this
was made unanimous.

WITH all this talk about the annex

dangerous experiment, for Normandy

while Quebec is still the France of

that want known in unmistakable

Regarding uniform and equal taxation
as a matter of controlling and paramount

necessity of reassessment and pledglng the

assembled. to an unqualified fultillment of
this pledge we further recommend and
appeal to the democratic voters of the State
to exact of their representatives on the
democratic tickets a solemn promise to
carry out the wishes of the people for
fair and equitable assessment of the entire
property of the State.
I'VE will present to the people of this
State as candidates for governor, comptroller
of the treasury and attorney general men
of established character, capacity and ex-
perience and worthy in every respect OF
confidence and support, and impressed with
the conviction that upon the result of the
present campaign the political position of
MARYLAND in the momentous presidential
contest of 1896 may largely depend, we
appeal to the democracy of the State to
unite heartily in their support of our whole
State and local ticket, so that when, in
1896 the people shall he called upon to pass
Judgment upon the claims OF our party to
a continuance of its control of the govern.
ment, Maryland shall still be found occu-
pying her high place in the democratic
( column.
There was not a dissenting vote recorded
when the platform was put before the con-
vention. and it was declared to be unani
mously adopted.

nominations were in order, and asked that
the list of counties be called for that pur
pose Allegany and Anne Arundel were
passed in silence. but when Baltimore

Chairman Carter, having called Col.
James H. Preston to the chair, took the
floor when the Second Legislative district
of Baltimore City was called to place John
Z. Hurst in nomination He spoke in the
most glowing terms of the great merchant,
whose name and fame was widespread, and
said that he had not sought the nomination.
Immediately after Mr.. Carter had con-
cluded the Third Legislative district was
called, and William T. Bledler rose to nom
mate Senator Thomas G. Hayes. He was
spoken of as man and legislator who
favored reassessment, and was alluded to in
many other favorable positions.
The above nominations were duly Sec

Spencer G. Jones and Herman Stump, were

THERE have lately been IA consider
able amount of pulpit manifestations
against the daily and weekly press of
this country, and several ministers of
different denominations have made
themselves conspicuous by their at
tacks on an institution that is as much
part of this country rs the MONDAY
meal, and whose value depends
entirely on its liberty t. state
and comment on every subject of pub
lie interest. 1t is true that in the exer-
else of its legitimate functNns the
newspapers of the land include in their
columns record of crime and wrong
doing; but these features serve pur-
pose that almost any unconservative,
thoughtful person will recognize at
once. There is always condemnation
of the wrong and q demand that the
law shall be maintained. Vice is
painted in its true cOlors and the pub
lie sense of justice is asked to step in
and Judge the wrong-doer and crimi-
nal Crime fears publicity and breads
newSp tpers more than the law, which
long practice has taught them to
evade. AS a detector of crime and
as preventative for the same there is
no more powerful agent than the news
paper. As an engine of progress and as
an instrument of social and political
reform, the newspaper of to-day is
without its peer. 1t is then strange
that ministers of the gospel, who are
supposed to be intelligent men, should
condemn it for turning the light on the
dark places and upon such offenders
who fear light and publicity. Some of
these gentlemen of the cloth do not
seem to recognize that evil must
be exposed before steps are taken to
crush it and ferret it out That the
press must publish the deeds of
criminals that they who read may
beware That when murder is COM
mitted and the murderer leaves the
scene OF his crime for parts unknown,
the newspaper, with its description of
the man and its tale of the crime is
one of the greatest factors in the fleeing
mans undoing. A burglary is commit
ted a bank robbed. The telegraph
flashes the news of the affair to papers
all over the land. The goods stolen
are often described in detail, the route
the robbers are supposed to have taken
and all other information ferreted out
by the keen reporters. In this man.
ner thousands of people read of the
affair, and instead of the police only
following the trail of the robbers, every
man who reads the papers takes an in
tererest in the case and in the capture
of the criminals. Time and time again
noted criminals have been captured by
the information given of suspicious
characters by persons who had read,
possibly few hours before, their de-
scription in the papers. The trouble
with the reverend gentlemen who at
tack the press for its publication of
criminal doings, is that they fail to get
a clear conception of newspapers du-
ty to the public and its readers. In
stead of scoring the press, the minis
tiers of the gospel should consider it a
co-worker in the great cause of moral
ity and prevention of crime.
