Mckinley and Hobart Club.
Communicated.

The Republicans of the Sixth
district are early in the field. On
Saturday evening last a Mckinley
Club was established in Rising Sun,
by a preliminary organization, the
result of call issued by the mem
Der of the State Central Committee
of this District, H. III. Haines.
A committee on membership was
appointed consisting of: Alex. M.
Perry, III. T. Brown, G. S. Abra-
hams, Joseph Touchstone, j. A.
Hartenstine, Elliott T. Brown, AL
fred Kirk, Samuel Morrison, M. L.
Kirk ond Joseph r. Coates.
The next meeting will be an
nounced by said committee in about
two weeks, when the membership
will at least reach 100 and when a
permanent organization will be
effected, giving all the members a
chance to have voice as to time
and place of meeting, officers,
policy, &c.
A marching club is the demand
of the age and will no doubt be one
of the leading features, while ju-
venile club of same character will
also most probably be organized,
as the youth that cannot vote, in
this day and time read and think
and want part in the great march
of public sentiment in the line of
protection, prosperity and progress
and for better time.
Tour correspondent has omitted
mentioning the leading issue of the
campaign, the "gold standard"
which split the party at ST..
Louis.-ED. JoUR.]

Personally Conducted Tours via Penn
syIvauia Railroad.

That the public has come te
recognize the fact that the best and
most convenient method of pleasure
travel is to participate in the Penn,
sylvania Railroad Company's per
sonally- conducted tours, is evid-
enced by their increased popularity
with each succeeding year and the
number of inquiries in regard to
them.
Under this system the lowest
rates are obtained, both for trans
portation and hotel accommodation,
and none but the best hotels are
used. An experienced tourist
agent and chaperon accompany each
tour to look after the comfort of the
passenger.
The following tours have been
arranged for the season of 1885,
To the north Gncluding Watkins
Glen, Niagara Falls, Thousand
Islands, Montreal, Quebec, Au

ride down through the Highlands
of the Hudson), July 81 and

Wood Alcohol Caused the Death OF
Mary Connolly.

While returning from Elkton
early Friday afternoon DR.. Joseph
V. Wallace of Chesapeake City,
discovered a man and woman lying
in a clump of bushes near the Uni
versalist Church. Upon investi-
cation he found the woman was
unconscious; the man was not sick
at that time. They were both taken
to the home of George Denny,
nearby, where the woman died and
the man was taken deathly ill.
The authorities were notified and
Sheriff Mackey removed the man to
the Elktonj jail, where he was attend
ed by DR.. J. H. lamar. Under
taker Vinsinger took charge of the
woman's body. She appeared to
be about 40 years of age and was
poorly dressed.
Coroner VIM. P. Dean impanelled
a jury of inquest with VIM. j..
Smith as foreman. The jury met
at the jail at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning and heard the statements
of witnesses. DR.. Wallace thought
they had both drank poisonous wood
alcohol, and to this is due her
death. The man, who gave his
name as Patrick Murphy, testified
that he purchased wood alcohol in
Elkton and that they both drank
freely of the drug. Although he
warned her that it was poisonous,
she drank double the quantity he
did. 1t was brought out that her
name was Mary Cennelly, of York,
Pa, where she had children. The
man appears to be professional
tramp and says she Joined him
Thursday week and was coming
down this way in hopes of finding
her husband, who was thought to
be working near Middletown, Del.
The jury returned a verdict that
she came to her death from exces
sive use of the drug. The body
was inferred in the almshouse
cemetery. Murphy is now in Jail
under treatment, but is improving
rapidly.-Appeal.

The New BaiIiff.

AS the result of the advertise
ment running in the JOURNAL for
some weeks the new Board of Com
missioners awarded the contract for
"bailiff'' and "street supervisory
of Rising Sun to Samuel j. Nor
rison, who entered upon his duties
on the morning of July LIST.
A good man for the place and a
first class selection. The Board is
to be congratulated for having
secured the services of such an
efficient officer. 1t now remains for
the people of the town, young and
old, to do their part by supporting
the Board and this new officer in
all efforts to preserve the best of
health, the best of order and the
best condition of the town in the
most economical manner. Bailiff
Morrison will give his entire time
and attention to the streets, the
sidewalks, the lamps and to the
good order of the place. 1t really
seems the time has come at last
when the streets will be kept in
order all the time, the lights
brightly burning, and those who
throw filth and dirt in the streets
or do anything else to breed disease
must cease, while those who do not
know that both profanity and vul-
garity are violations of law will
know it; that insults to citizens and
all loud and boisterous noises, if
made by men or boys, that keep
good people from sleep or even at
other times if not justified, must
come to a halt or take the conse-
quences. "Let the good work go
on" ARGUS.
