A SURPRISING ASSIGNMENT.

Under the above heading the Kent NeaOs
refers to the business reverses of gen.
tleman well known in this community
where his many friends hope matters may
be better than they appear:
Zone of the greatest surprises in our
business community for long time was
the assignment for the benefit of credit us
of w. Irving Walker, ESQ.,, and wife, last
week. The deed of assignment is dated
January 21st, 1896, and is made to DR.. S. E.
Ford and George Warfield, Esq. who are
directed to dispose of so much as may be
necessary of the real and personal property
at public or private sale, as may be found
MOST advantageous, and apply the proceeds
of sale of each separate estate of Mr.. and
Mrs. Walker to the debts of the respective
parties. The liabilities are reported to be
about $35, 900, and the assets considerably
over that sum, as the estate includes nine
farms-about 2700 acres-of good land in
our adjoining county, Queen Anne's. The
deed makes no preference of any creditor.
Mr.. Walker is regarded as a thorough
business man-intelligent, enterprising and
of excellent habits-and has made many
friends in Chestertown, where he is often
seen, Mrs. Catharine F. Walker, his wife,
is the daughter of the late Capt. Budd S.
Ford. and much sympathy is expressed for
her husbands unfortunate reverse.
The causes for Mr.. Walkers embar-
rassment are reported to be the loss of
considerable sum as stockholder in the
Mccullough Iron Company in Cecil county,
and the general unprofitableness of agricul,
ture and depreciation of real estate.
The estate is one of the largest ever
assigned in this section, but the trustees,
Messrs. Ford and Warfeld, are fully qua
lifted and will no doubt discharge the
duties of their trust to the satisfaction of all
concerned

A SIGNIFICANT FACT.

Then you notice more significant fact
III you have talked with people on the sub
ject. that they are getting dissatisfied with
philosophy and science as a matter of COM
fort. They say il does not amount to any
thing when you have a dead child in the
house. They tell you when they were sick
and the door Of the future seemed opening
the only comfort they could find was in the
Gospel.
Have you heard of the conspira cy to put
out all the lighthouses on the coast? Do
you know that ON a certain night of next
month Eddystone lighthouse. Bell Rock
lighthouse Sherryvore lighthouse, Montauk
lighthouse. Hatteras lighthouse New Lon
don lighthouse. Barnegat lighthouse and
$40 lighthouses on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts are TO be extinguished? oh .!
you say. what vii becoimc Of the ships
on that night? What will be the fate of the
one million sailors folio wing the sea?
What will be the doom of the millions of
passengers? Who will arise to put down
such a conspiracy Every man. woman
and child in America and the world.
But that is only a fable. That is what
infidelity is trying to do-put out all the
lighthouses on the coast of eternity. letting
the soul go up the "Narrows' OF death
with no light no comfort no peace-all that
coast covered with the blackness of dark
ness. Instead of the great lighthouse
glowworm of wit. firefly OF Jocoslty.
Which do YOU like the better, Oh, v0yager
for eternity. the firefly or the lighthouse?
INFIDELITY'S MISSION.
What a mission infidelity has started on!
Ahi my friends, you had better stop your
skepticism. Suppose you areput in thiscrisis:
O. fatherl Your child isdying. What are you
going to say TO her? Colonel Ethan Alleuwas
a famous infidel in his day. His wife was
very consecrated woman. The mother in

tisnity. Thedaughter sickenedand
TO die and she said to her father: Father,

i must have this matter decided
That man, who had been loud in his inf

you had better take your mother srclgion. -
Nv advice is the same to you, 0.young man;

Yoa know how it comforted her. You know

effect of the trial of Jameson on his
scholars is to cause them all to occupy
every hour playing Beers and jamie

THE prediction of Rufus Hill, master
mechanic of the Pennsylvania railroad,
that within five years electric motive
power will be in general use on that
great line is by no means unlikely to
come true 1t has been demonstrated
that the substitution of electricity for
steam may be successfully applied to
locomotives, and such a change may be
regarded as one of the certainties of
the near future.

A WASHINGTON correspondent says
of the republican nominee for the
presidency: Maj Mckinley was not
one of the sort of men who cut much
of figure in the social life of Wash
ington, and it is doubtful if he would
have done so even if he had not been
confined to his rooms much of the
time by his devotion to his invalid
wife. Mckinley was always popular
on the floor and acquired by degrees
the strong position which comes with
long service, even when not always
accompanied by conspicuous ability.

SENATOR TELLER has the reputation
of being not only morally but physic-

1851, and on the day after his arrival a
rebel flag was hoisted over saloon in
Denver. AS Teller walked out Of his
hotel that morning he saw it, and
though he was a tenderfoot he swore
that that flag had to come down. He
looked up the marshal and the two
went together to the saloon. They
had revolvers with them and they
were ready to fight, but the saloon
keeper weakened and the stars and
bars came down.
