An Exciting EAcRpe.

A colored man, driving a wagon belong
ing to Harry Sweeny, provision dealer, had
a narrow escape from death this morning
He was crossing the car track at the cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue and 14th street
about 10 o'clock, when train No. 205 of the
Georgetown line swung swiftly around the
curve and struck his wagon sQuarely on
the side, knocking it several feet away and
throwing the driver out on the roadway.
Although he landed flush on his head, he
old not lose his presence Of mind and clung
pluckiIy to the reins, despite the fact that
he was drawn between the shafts close to
the heels of the thoroughly frightened
horse, which was plunging and kicking
wildly to effect his release from the wagon.
The drivers position was extremely hazard
ous, and the spectators feared for his life;
but he pIuckily managed to work his way
to the horses head, and, by the exercise of
wonderful strength, finally brought the ex-
cited animal to a standsull, notwithstand-
ing the shafts were playing painfully about
his legs with every movement. The driver
and horse were badly bruised, but Were
able to proceed about their business. The
wagon was sent to the repair shop, and
the grip car will require an entirely new
fender

Crops Nashed Away by the Flood
and Other Property Damaged.
Special from Frederick, Md, dated the
%, to the Baltimore Su;4, says:
From y o'clock Wednesday night up 10
10 O'Clock Thursday morning the Potomac
river al Point of Rocks, Frederick county
rose twen;ynine feet. The freshet has in
undated miles OF country along the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, doing great dam
age to property between Harper's Ferry
and Boyds station along the Metropolitan
branch.
For many miles the river and canal are
one vast bcdy of mad, rushing wafer. The
freShet is carrying down thousands of
shocks of corn, portions of dwellings, sta
bling. buggies, light wagons, canal boats,
trees, chicken CCops, lumber, fencing and
everyt hing of a movable nature that came
in contact With .he rising food.
Twenty-Five houses in the Point of Rocks
neighborhcod were entir -ly surrounded and
the first floors were covered with from
two to thu feet of water. Several small
houses at the Point were moored by ropes
to trees TO keep them from floating off.
The county road leading from the hgn
bridge was covered with five feet Of water,
and people going or coming from Lees
burg, Va, were ferried for nearly half a
mile.
The tover-house at Washington Junction
was surrounded by several feet of water.
The Baltimore and Ohio trains between
Washington junction and Boyd's had TO
run through about one or two feet OF water
covering the tracks.
The western express from Washington,
due at Washington Junction at 12:55 did
not arrive until 5 O'Clock pm. By thai
time the water rad commenced to recede.
Mr.. Hickman lost his entire crop OF about
200 barrels. John Cardo of near Licks-
vile lost about 400 barrels. All the corn
crops on the islands of the Potomac were
entirely swept away.

SCIENTIFICALLY EXPLAINED.
Why the Eyes Of n Painted Portrait
Follow the Observer.

FROM Notes and queries.
Wollaston's curious discovery was that
by adding to each pair of eyes a nose d.
rected to the right or the left, the eyes
lose their front direction, and look to the
right or left, according to the direction of
the nose. By means Of a flap representing
the lower features in different position,
as DR.. Wollaston remarks. "a lost look of
devout abstraction in an uplifted counte-
nance may be exchanged for an appear
ance OF inquisitive archness in the leer of
a younger face turned downward and OBJ
liQuely toward the opposite side
As by changing the direction of the lower
features We change the direction of the
eyes, SO by changing our position, the eye
of the portrait apparently follows us. IL a
vertical line be drawn through the tip of
the nose and half way between the eyes
there will be the same breadth of head of
cheek, of chin and of neck each side of
this middle line. and each iris will be I'm the
middle of the whole eye. If we now move
10 one side, the apparent horizontal breadth
of every part of the head and face will be
diminished. but the parts each side of
the middle line will be diminished equally
and at any position, however oblique there
will be the same breadth of face on each
side of the middle line, and the iris will be
in the center of the whole of the eyeball
so that being on fiat surface, the iris will
be seen in front of the picture or obliquely

OBITUARY..
Mrs. Margaret Warren.

The citizens of West Buxton were
greatly shocked at the sudden death
Tuesday morning of Mrs. Margaret
Game, wife of Hon. j. +. Warren. AL
though it was generally known that sh 9
suffered from serious heart trouble, she
had seemed in much better health for
the past few months, and her many
friends were looking forward to having
her many more years. Few women wsre
SO richly endowed by nature, and it was
a luxury to know her we'll and feel as
sured of the steadfast loyalty Of her
friendship. No one could have been
taken from our midst who would be
mourned by larger circle of friends
but saddest of all will be the loss to her
husband. sons and sister, Mrs. A.. L.
Berry, of Bar Mills, as her duties as
wife, mother and sister were always
scrupulously performed. Her faith was
strong, being firm believer in the hap
piness of the whole human family.
While it would seem to us that she was
so much nee dc In her home, where she
was SO surrounded by every comfort and
luxury: Goods ways are not our
ways" and the time of separation will
be short, when there will be a glorious
reunion and an unbroken family. Flu
neral at her late residence next Saturday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. j. L. Marsh
of Saco.
