A Horrible Accident.

David Ash, an employee of the
Singerly Pulp Mills, met with a
terrible accident between 2 and 3
O'Clock Tuesday morning.
He went under the machine he
was attending to adjust a belt and
his left arm was caught and drawn
into the large steel rollers. The
noise of the machinery prevented
the workmen hearing his cries, and
it was only when his fellow work
men were seeking the cause of the
irregular running of the machine
that they knew of the accident.
When discovered his left arm and
upper part of his body were wedged
against the rollers. He was I'M
conscious and it was necessary to
break part of the machine in order
to eXtricate him. 1t was thought
he was dead, but he soon recovered
sufficiently to give the particulars
of the accident. In addition to
crushed arm and side, his head is
terribly cut and bruised. and it is
feared his lungs are injured. The
family of Mr.. Ash has been very
unfortunate, it being only three
years since his Z year old son was
killed by a falling bank of earth.

Beams and Notes.

road, above the old colored church
in Elkton could be seen thirty
young colored boys and men play

Just a short distance to the west
of this place the game of horse
racing "for money" may be seen
every six days in the week. The
officers of the law should have
given their attention to this matter
some time ago. When the beam

Two rIeetingS.

There were two mass meetings at
Elkton on Thursday afternoon of
last week. There must have been
two, and we get our information
from those two veraciOus ElktOn
papers, of long standing and noted
for veracity. One of the meetings
was composed of two hundred
persons; the other contained fifteen
hundred. 1t was quite good while
before we could reconcile the fact
of there being two meetings of the
same party on the same day and at
the same time and place. We kept
the veracity of the two papers re-
porting, to the front. That had to
be the basis from which to work.
Like little George Washington they
couldn't tell a lie." We knew
that. So we tried the problem by
induction. 1t wouldn't work. Then
by analysis. 1t still wouldn't work.
Then the light suddenly flashed
upon us; there was a split in the
party and every thing was clear
enough and the veracity of the
aforesaid papers remained steadfast;
firm as the rock of Gibralter. The
Lowndes party and the 'Malster
party; but which was which we
have not been able to figure out.
However the main thing is the
credit of the two ancient veracious
papers is saved. Both meetings
were there and both men were there
and they were altogether. The two
papers had divided the work of
reporting. One took the Master
meeting in charge and the other
the Lowndes. Sect But which
selected one and which the other
they "won't tell"

The Arena.

The November number of the
Arena closes the sixth year of this
leading review of the country, and
in a most important feature, the
leading magazine of the world
This is a merited distinction the
publishers and editor, Mr.. B. o.
Flower, may justly claim, in the
bold yet fair and honest presenta
ton of the great economic questions
which are convulsing society, in its
wide field of research including
scientific, philosophical, political,
socialistic and religious.
The Arena though ranking with
the largest monthlies in size and
its corps of eminent writers, has
been reduced in price from So to So
a year. This reduction should
place the magazine on the table of
every family in the country who
values culture and literature of the
best class.
The November issue numbers
among its contributors a very sug-
gestive paper by Professor George
d. Heron on "The Sociality of the
Religion of jesus; Senator j. T.
Moran, who is recognized as one of
the ablest thinkers in our Senate
on international questions and CON
stitutional problems, discusses the
Silver Question; ExGovernorgJas.
NJ. Ashley, an old time republican,
congressman and governor, writes
on "The Impending Political Ad-
vance,; Professor Frank Parsons,
of the Boston University School of
Law, contributes mastery paper
on 'Municipal Lightning
These are, however, only few
Of the features of The Arena which
illustrate the ability and varied
character of its contents.
Senator Moran is acknowledged
to be the ablest man from the
Southern states at present in the
e. S. Senate, and his views on the
silver question which is the leading
and most absorbing question in
politics to-day, will be read with
eager interest by a class of the
most intelligent persons both in
public and private life.
The country's best hope rests in
the class of literature such publica-
tiOns as The Arena supplies.-Pub-

The Gambling Gang.

The ElktOn horse racing is meet
ing with condemnation so univer-
sal that no political party dare
oppose it, and the demand is so
general that the law under which
it operates shall be repealed by the
next legislature that to disregard
it will mean eternal political death
to any man in the legislature who
opposes its repeal or maintains a
neutral position.
Manley Drennen had it in his
power as one of the directors or
managers to have defeated the dis
graceful action of the Fair managers,
by casting his vote against leasing
the Fair grounds to the Racing
Association, but he chose to refrain
from voting when his vote cast
against leasing would have made a
tie and defeated the bargain. He
chose not to vote knowing that his
not voting was tantamount to cast
ing vote in favor of the gamblers.
The Cecil Farmers Club which
held its monthly meeting last week
passed the following strong resolu-
ton.
Resolved:-That the directors of
the so called Agricultural Society
of Cecil County have by their
recent action in subleasing the
racing privileges of the Fair Ground
to an association of gamblers, which
association was driven from the
soil of New Jersey and is not allowed
to get foot hold in any other state.
have transcribed the authority
granted them by the legislature,
have gone contrary to the wishes
of the great majority of their con-
stituents, and have forfeited all
claim to the support and encourage
ment of the farming community,
and we earnestly hope that our
representatives at the next meeting
of the legislature will not only have
the law legalizing pool selling re-
pealed, but will also have the state
aid withdrawn from the concern.
Cecil Grange also passed at its
last meeting equally strong and
emphatic resolutions condemning
this outrage on the public and
farmers.
