Driving Accident.

Miss LizzieSmithson of Baltimore,
and a gentleman, while driving
from Woodlawn camp meeting
Sunday night to her mothers, at
Colora, were thrown from their
carriage and injured. Another
carriage driven by Thos. Williams
attempted to pass them on the road
and the buggy wheels became linked
together. Miss Smithson's buggy
was turned upside down. The
horse ran off and dragged Miss
Smithson and her friend a short
distance. They were tossed into
the roadside ditch and the horse
sped ON back toward the camp
ground, but was stopped. The
buggy was a wreck. Some friends
carried Miss Smithson to her
mothers home. She was not hurt
beyond a few bruises. Her COM
panion also escaped injury. Both
were badly shaken up and barely
escaped serious injury or death.

Brutal Wife Beaten.

John Boots, engineer of the Die
bert Dry Dock, in Chesapeake City,
was before justice Groves of Elkton
charged with brutally beating his
wife, Mary Boots, who now resides
in Wilmington, Del. AS result
Boots will receive ten lashes at a
whipping post and will serve thirty
days in the county Jail. Mrs. Boots
presented pitiable sight as she
sat in the Justices court with a
little two year old daughter ON her
lap. Her face was covered with
blood and all marked up from the
effects of blows received at the
hands of her husband. She told
the justice she could not get along
with her husband and was residing
in Wilmington. She said she had
come to Elkton by appointment
with her husband to get the baby
and was to meet him there. She
arrived on the afternoon train and
walked as far as the iron bridge on
the Chesapeake City road to meet
him. He came along in the stage
and after getting out commenced to
scold her, and finally got into such
a passion that he struck her several
severe blows in the face. She
managed to get away from him and
run into town, the blood flowing
from the wounds in her face. The
man came in later with his child
and, after being arrested, pleaded
guilty of the charge, but said his
wife had been unfaithful to him.
He acknowledged that he had
beaten her before, but said she
would not do right.
States Attorney William S.
Evans conducted the prosecution,
and after hearing the testimony in
the case Justice Groves sentenced
Boots to thirty days in jail and to
receive ten lashes. 1t will be
necessary for Sheriff Mackey to
erect a whipping post, and he will
WELD the cat-o'-nine tails in few
days. This is the first instance in
which man was sentenced in Cecil
county to be whipped under the
law passed in 1882, and only one
other case is upon record in the
State. The decision of the justice
is popular, as the case has no
parallel for brutality in the annals
of Cecil county.
Now is the Democrats chance to
get up a petition to enlarge the
uses of the whipping post to lick
the worthless Back street niggers.
The dry dock people appear to
be unfortunate in their selection of
engineers. The first one was a
murderer, the last wife beaten.

Mad Dog Scare.

W. J. McDougal heard his dog yelp as
though bitten by another dog on Monday
night. On investigating he discovered
the animal had been bitten in the foot
and was showing peculiar and unusual
excitement whining and crying. Another
dog further up the street was attacked by
the strange dog and gave the same pecu-
liar yelp and whining cry which is an in
dication that the animal has been bitten
by mad dog. So the story runs.
The alleged mad dog was not seen, but
on this circumstantial evidence poor tray
was doomed to die, and bailiff Morrison
led the animal to execution the next
morning. If the strange animal was
really suffering with rabies, there will
be more mad dogs heard of after few
days.

Grand Silver Rally,
CHESTER COUNTY ON A SILVER
RAMPAGE.

RAMPAGE.
The friends of free coinage are
organizing for a grand rally for free
coinage and Bryan at Armstrong;
Park, near Kembleville, Pa, on
Tuesday next, August 25th. The
meeting will organize at 10 a. m.
Delegations from all the nefghbor-
ing towns within ten or twelve
miles will swell the crowd which it
is expected by the managers will
number ten to fifteen thousand
persons.
Mortimer Whitehead, of New
Jersey, one of the most noted plat
form speakers of the country. will
address the meeting. L. Irving
Handy, A. NJ, of Newark College,
and several other speakers have
been secured. There will be speak
ing morning, afternoons and evening.
The farms of Chester and Lam
caster counties are alive with free
silver men. The people are sick of
being cheated by goldbugism and
are bent on trying free coinage.
Uncle Sam mines more silver than
any other nation in the world, and
common sense people are coming to
the conclusion the best thing to do
is to make money of it in place of
giving it to our ''English cousins"
at half price.

Bryan i'm Rising Sun.

Rising Sun was honored this week by
visit from VIM. Bryan, who was enroute
for Woodlawn Camp, in company with a
friend on tandem. BILLY" was received
with open hand by every one, regardless
of party affiliations. He recognized every
person he met and could address them
by name, and everybody recognized
"Billy," too, not from seeing his pictures
in the papers, but because he lived here
for five years. He is not the presidential
"Billy," but son of the late Rev. J. E.
Bryan, pastor of Rising Sun NJ. E. church,
and is living in Philadelphia now.

Canning Corn.

The Frederick corn canning
factories have begun the seasons
pack. Owing to the large yield
and fine quality Of the crop the
output will be very large.
The reason canning corn at the
Frederick canneries is profitable is
that the planting, gathering and
canning are all directed by one
management. The land and can
ming plant are all owned by the
proprietor or company. The reason
the bushes proved a failure in this
section was the division of the work.
No business can be economically
conducted by a divided manage
ment.

sILVERITEs PLAN UNITED WORK
Bryan Democrats, PopuIists and Sill
yer Party Under One Wash
ingtOn Roof.

|
A Washington dispatch to Thurs
days Philadelphia Press gives the
following party gossip:
The managers of each of these
headquarters declare that there is
to be no combination or consolida-
ton of forces, but that each party
is toconduct it's own campaign. The
numerous conferences that have
already been held between the
leaders of these parties is sufficient
warrant for the statement that the
silver campaign will be conducted
jointly. Being in the same build
ing, the chairman of these commit
tees will see each other daily and
hold daily counsel. The issue of
the campaign is the same in each
party-that is, the free coinage of
silver.
TO MAKE CLUBS PROMINENT.
After consulting with National
Chairman Jones and Mr.. Faulkner,
chairman of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee, the Populist
and Silverite managers subscribed
to the idea of using club organiza
lions as the principal factor in the
campaign. The Populists and Sill
verites have promised to assist in
the organization of silver clubs for
the support of Bryan and Sewall or
Bryan and Watson and those clubs
will all be recognized at the rally of
Democratic clubs at st. Louis on
the 30th of September.
BUTLER TO HAVE CONTROL.
Unless the wishes of Chairman
Butler and the members of the Ex-
ecutive Committee are set aside,
Mr.. Watson, Populist candidate for
the vice-presidency, will not be
officially notified of his nomination
for that place. Chairman Butler,
while declining to make any spe-
cific statement on the subject, said
that failure to notify would not
be unusual, for the reason that the
Populists had never yet notified
their candidates.
The Executive Committee decided
to establish branch headquarters at
Chicago, which will be in charge of
George F. Washburn, of Massa-
chusetts. The committee also
selected Finance Committee for
the campaign, consisting of Ell. W.
Reed, for Georgia; Fl. f. Taylor, of
Philadelphia, and M. G. Rankin, of
Indiana.
Chairman Butler will be given
almost full control of the Populist
campaign. He will not only have
charge of the national campaign of
his party, but he has been placed
at the head Of the Populist Con-
gressional Committee. He will,
do the work that is
usually given to two men. At the
same time he has his hands full of
the North Carolina tangle.

Shot a Negro.

On Sunday morning John Dow
ling of Port Deposit was arrested
for beating Milly Underhill. Con-
stable Bond was called in to arrest
the negro when he bit the constable
on the thumb and attempted to
wrench his pistol from his hand.
The constable freed the pistol from
Dowling's grasp and sent ball
through his side. This stopped
further resistance on the negroes
part and he was taken to Jail.

more Sun says:
1t is reported that there is gang Of
tramps on the road between Baltimore
and Elkton who are on the lookout for
any respectable looking man who may
board a. freight train looking for work,
and rob him of whatever valuables he
may have. After robbing the victim they

and there remain until Elkton is reached,
when they make their escape. Only the
other evening two desperate looking
tramps were taken from freight train al
