The Hartridge cottage lay in deep
shadow. The trees aud shrubs which
supplied the privacy craved in the day

night. Johnston, resolutely making his
way toward the glinmering light III its
hallway, wondered if it was quite safe
for two women TO abide alone SO far from
the rest of the village.
He heard voices among the vines that
clothed the small front portico too heav-
lily. Hers.and another, a peevish, querulous
voice lifted complainingly.

WEATHER Crop BULLETIN. WEEK
ENDING MONDAY, July 15.-The
temperature during the past week
was below the normal every day,
and averaged, for the week, about
five degrees per day cooler than is
usual at this season of the year. The
days were generally as warm as
usual but the nights were very cool.
The month of July up to the 10th
has averaged about three degrees
per day cooler than the normal. Lit
tie or no rainfall occurred during
the week until Monday the 18th.
The general rains that occurred at
the close of last week were sufficient
for the crop-needs, but the ground
was again getting very dry, and the
rains of yesterday were opportune
and exceedingly beneficial. Consid-
erably less than the usual amount of
sunshine was received. This def
cheney was principally caused by the
smoky condition of the atmosphere
on many days when there were no
clouds. the amount of cloudiness
during the week having been less
than usual. On the whole the week S
weather was favorable tor crop
growth. The nights were rather
too cool for corn and the days gave
too little sushine for good hay.mak.
ing, yet ali correspondents, with a
few exceptions report favorable pro-
gress in erop-growth during the
week. Most of the wheat crop has
been safely stacked, and some has
been threshed, with yield as reported
as very good. Corn is generally in
a very good condition and the out
look for fairly good yield is very
encouraging. Late garden vege-
tables OF all kinds promise fine
crop. A large acreage of buckwheat
has been planted. Summer fruit is
coming into market, but as a rule
the crop is light and not more than
enough for home consumption.

DR.. PERKINS SLIGATLY IMPROVED
The condition of DR.. William III.
Perkins, whose critical illness at his
home in Hancock, has been reported
has slightly improved and it is now
thought that he will recover. The
injury he sustained from being
struck by base ball, caused infam
nation of the phyloric canal, which
connects the stomach with the intes
tines. On Wednesday he took slight
nourishment the first since Saturday.
He is unable to sleep and has beer
under the influence of opiates as long
as twenty-tour hours in order to les.
sen his sufferin9s. He paid no at
tentioD to the bruise when he sus-
tanned it and on the day following
went through the exertion, attending
the umpiring of a long drawn Out
game of base ball. 1t was not
until several days after this that the
bruise began to make itself felt
He is attended by DR.. S. N. Myers
of this city, who calls to see him
daily.

A DARING RoBBERY.-Last
Wednesday night few minutes be-
fore midnight the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad depot at Harpers
Ferry, was the scene Of one of the
most daring robberies that has been
committed in this section of the
country during recent months, and
happening, as it did, so soon after
the attempt to blow up train with
dynamite, it is suspected that the
dynamiters had q hand in it. The rob
berry was committed while the $50
train from Washington was stand
ing on the track in front of the sta
ton and while the man in charge of
the station was seeing to loading a
car Of peaches to 90 west. Two men,
who had been on the train, commit
ted the robbery and after making the
successful haul they stepped back on
the moving train and departed.
Just what amount of money they
got no one except employees and Of
fcials of the company know, but it
is known that an adjoining drawer
contained between $500 and $1,000,
and this the burglars missed. Cap
tain Grammar, who is in charge Of the
railroad corps of detectives, was
made acquainted with the facts in
time to send some Of his expert de-
tectives on trail of the men, and it is
possible that they will be apprehe 1d-
ed.

Mrs. FarraII Acquitted.

LA PLATA, Md, July i6.-Mrs.
Belle Farrall has been acquitted of
the charge of numbering her husband !,
the late Frederick Farrall of Hughes
Vile.
When Clerk Turner read the ver-
dict there was stiffness, as the crowd
! waited eagerly for the announcement.
When its import had been undcrstood
a remarkable scene ensued.
Mrs. Farrall broke down and wept
for joy. Shebecamehysterical. She
sprang to meet Colonel Wilmer, her
chief counsel, who was advancing to
meet her. She threw both arms around
the stalwart Colonel's neck and kiss
ed him.
The trial has proved one OF the
most noted in the criminal annals of
the State and, it is estimated cost
Charles county upward of $4,000.
The story of the crime is as fol-
lows: On December the l6 Freder-
lex Farrall became suddenly ILL.,
His illness took the form of convul-
sions and at I O'Clock next morning
he died.
While Mr.. Farral was in convul-
SONS DR.. Carrico was sent for, but,
as he sfterward testified, he found
nothing in the symptoms presented
by the dying man to lead to the sup.
position that he had teen poisoned.
Yet when the death of Farrall be-
came known there was Immediately
great gossip and scandal in the vii
lage, in which the name of Mrs. Far
rail- was mixed up with that of a
railroad brakeman named Eugene
Hall.
There was such general talk after
Farralls death that it was decided
to exhume the body and make an
examination for traces OF poison.
The gossip was that the wife had
given him strychnine in order to get
him out Of the way and marry Hall.
The body WAS taken up and after the
inquest the verdict was that Mrs.
Farrall had poisoned her husband.
Papers were Issued for her arrest but
she disappeared.
When the time for trial came how
ever, she returned, and the proceed
ings began on June 25. Since then
the court has been in session every
day and the testimony has been
heard and read from day to day with
the deepest interest all over the
State and country.

The difficulty between the Electric
Light Co. and the town is serious
matter. As we understand the
present situation the Company re-
quires the town to pay $50 per month
for the street lights and water. The
town has refused the offer, but made
one based on the regular rates of the
Company for so many lights, stating
at the time if not accepted the oil
lamps on the streets would be sub
stituted. The Company declined
the towns offer and passed resolu-
ton to the effect that if the oil lamps
we're lighted the electric light plant
would shut down.

THE WAY THEY PUT IT In CHAM
BERsBURG.-The recent game in Cham
bersburg, between the club of that
place and Hagerstown, resulted in a
complete whitewash for Hagerstown.
1t was a sad day for Lipp. We copy
the following concerning the game
from the Spirit:
And in those days there came into
that country band of pilgrims ac-
companied by a glorious, golden
halo and several hundred "rooters.'
And the people marvelled greatly,
saying, "Whence come these end
why for p and they answered, eve
come from the land where victory
fiourisheth 80 that it bebooveth US
to join the national league And
then there flashed forth in charac.
tiers Of fire the mystic symbol, "Ha-
gerstown's champions" Then spake
their 'rooters' saying, "Our boys
will make the air above thee resem.
BILE porous plaster with balls from
our massive bats and thine outfield-
ers hoe corn in the lots beyond the
confines of the baseball field :" and
behold the people trembled. But it
came to pass when the game waxed
old the pilgrims hearts were trou-
bled and they murmured among
themselves, saying, "This is our off
day we have a hankering notion
that there may be fire in Hagers-
town and our minds are not on the
game And they went away. But
within the now shrunken and latter
ed halo appeared, sparkling and gilt
tering like sunlight, that old, famil-
lar Chambersburg saying, Cooled"
And they didn't want to take the
poor halo along and it had to beat
its way home on the freight.

LOOKS WELL FOR THE PRINTER
The printing office is usually con-
sidered a rather tough place, and the
newspaper worker is a mighty bad
man. Statistics, however, do not
bear out that idea. OF $3.50 con-
victs in the State penitentiary of
Texas there is not printer or q
newspaper man, while there are min
listers, doctors, bankers, BARRIERS,
photographers, barkeepers, cooks
and members of all other professions
and callings. The printer gets bad
name merely because the nature Of
his business teaches him to detect
shame, and he therefore scorns to
play the hypocrite.-Er.
