morning, at the violent ringing of the

to the store, also heard the alarm, but

after his arrival inquiry was made
about the alarm and it was then dis
covered that the robbery had been
committed from the rear of the store.

prevented from gaining an entrance to
the building by iron bars which
crossed the window too close together

from the outside, two pieces of meat,
weighing about twenty pounds He at
once retreated toward the creek, cross
ing the lumber yard of Messrs. Hardt
& Keefer and making his escape. 1t

Mr.. D. G. Winebrener, Jr., and
Miss Eleanor Nelson Richie
Treat Their Relatives and
Friends to a Matrimonial Sur
prise Party.

One of the most romantic and sensational
weddings in Frederick's high social circles
In recent years. was that of Mr. d. Charles
Winebrener, son of Mr.. d. c. Winebrener
one of our most prominent business men,
and Miss Eleanor Nelson Richie, daughter
of the late Chief Judge John Richie, at
st. Paul's Episcopal Church, in Washington,
on Monday last, by the Rev. Frank Gibson.
The announcement by telegraph came to
the relatives and friends of the popular
young couple like thunder clap in clear
sky, so quietly had all the arrangements
been made, and 80 cleverly were they car
ried out. The young man had been paying
marked attention to Miss Richie, but no
one expected such sudden denouement
1t was certainly mid-Lenten surprise party,
and every one were on the qui vive with
excitement to learn the particulars. 1t
seems that on Monday last, the bride-elect
and her friend, Miss Louise Potts, went to
Washington quite suddenly ito hear the
opera, " they said, and were met by Mr..
Winebrener and Mr.. Arthur Trail, who
left on an earlier train. Very few persons
were aware of the absence of the young
ladies, and even had the knowledge been
general, no grave anticipations would have
been entertained. The party went to the
church and were quietly married. only a
few friends being present. The bride was
attired in dark blue travelling gown and
was attended by Miss Potts. Mr.. Trail
was the groom's best man. After the cere-
mony kilograms were sent to the families
of the newly welded pair apprising them
of the event, and then all partook of deli
cious repast at the Shorehan. Later in the
day Mr.. Trail and Miss Potts returned
home, while the happy couple remained in
Washington till next morning, when they
left for Baltimore to spend the remainder
of their honeymoon.
The groom is one of the most popular
young men in town, and during the absence
of his father on trip to the West has had
entire charge of his large wholesale bust
ness, in which he has an interest, having
been taken in partnership the beginning of
the year. On that account the bridal trip
was of such short duration.
The bride is most attractive and accom-
plished young lady, and great favorite
with all who knew her.
They will reside for the present with the
grooms parents, on Record street, where
they will be delighted to see their many
friends.

To Clean the Reservoir.

The mystery as to the cause of the
disagreeable odor and taste of our city's
water supply has been traced to the
foul condition of the old reservoir. 1t
has been the custom to clean out the
old reservoir once in six years, which
time has about elapsed, and the city
will be supplied 10y the new reservoir
until the lid one can be thoroughly
cleaned. 1t will be about ten days I'M
til the water is drawn off and the ba-
sin put in condition to be examined,
and as soon after that as practicable
the work of cleaning will begin. The
rumor which was circulated that the
remains of colored child had been
found in the reservoir is entirely I'M
true. AS the water in the new reser-
voir is as clear AS crystal, we may ex-
pect no further trouble.

After one week of intense suffering
with Inflammation of the bowels, How
ard, eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A.
Frye, died at his home, two miles east

the age of IL years. Interment was
made in the United Brethren Gene
terry Sunday afternoon, the services be-
ing conducted by the pastor of Trinity
Reformed Church, Rev. G. A. Whit
more.
Mrs. David Hubbard died at her
home on South Water street. on Fri
day evening last, aged GA years. A
blind husband and three daughters
survive her. Interment was made in

have gone to HagerstOwn to partici-
pate i'm the proceedings of the tenth

The suffering and high death rate
from hunger and starvation in recent
years, of the nut and vegetable eating
animals of the woods, and the cereal
eating fowls of the air, caused mainly
by the destruction of the forests, the
introduction of the grain rake and COLI
sequent diminishment of mast,
prompts Cassandra to deliver herself
as follows: 1T is the bounden duty of
those OF us who lay claim to any con-
siderable degree of civilization and hu-
maneness, to busy ourselves in these
interesting, desirable and harmless an
imals and birds, and see that they are
becominglY cared for. If from no other
than a charitable point of view. it is
just as important to in season provide
food for them and place it within their
reach during the winter months. as it
is TO give SO much thought and labor
to the matter of filling our Iarders, coal
and grain bins, and hay lofts, which
we do in order to secure peace of mind
and comfort when the wind is blowing
oyer the ,snow-covered earth and the
mercury playing close around zero.
The necessity of this caring for the
rabbits, squirrels and birds, having
come upon us so gradually, there are
doubtless some who have not yet given
the matter careful consideration, but
will do so "bye and bye"
