Tug Boat Burned.

The American Towing Company's
tug Argus was burned on Sunday
a few miles south of Havre de
Grace while going from there to
Baltimore. The tug left Havre de
Grace at II o'clock and when near
the Battery Light, three and a-halt
miles down the bay, flames burst
out in the boiler room. They
spread so rapidly that the boat was
soon mass of flame, and with all
their efforts the crew found it i'm
possible to save the boat. AS they
were themselves in great danger,
they turned her prov toward the
Spesutia Island shore and ran her
aground just west of Locust Point.
The crew went to Havre de Grace
from where they were sent to
Baltimore.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.
An Important Factor in the Progress o
Smaller Cities and Towns.

An Important Factor In the Progress of
Smaller Cities and Towns.
Tho Importance Of supporting the
local newspaper is not felt as keenly
as it should be by the jewellers in the
smaller cities and towns. The newspa-
per is in reality as important factor
in local prosperity as the church. Its
influence Is brought to bear for the
benefit of it's locality in many ways
that the church does not compass.
The intelligence and relative posi-
ton of one town as compared with
others is to be accurately gauged by
the quality Of its newspapers and the
amount Of confidence they inspire.
The newspapers of town usually
present good evidence of the moral
standard which governs It; for that
newspaper which gives its constituent
cy what that constituency demands is
Of the only kind which has stability.
A town which can show O well-sup-
ported newspaper, means town whose
inhabitants are quick-witted people of
keen, active interest in what concerns
them and their neighbors, while one in
which o newspaper drags out YEARLY
generally argues itself the abode of
people with sluggish livers or torpid
temperaments, to whom the world
presents little interest beyond the
limited range Of experience immediate
ly bounded by their own senses.
The excuse which is sometimes Of
fered that the local paper Is not of
sufficient interest to warrant the ex-
penditure of the small price Of It's sub
scription, should avail these short
sighted moles nothing. Such people
should be told to patron1ze the home
industry and foster its growth into a
more pretentious affair by their en-
enlargement. Newspaper men are not
slow to respond to encouragement; in
90 cases out of 100 their hearts are In
their work and they need but the sign
Of q disposition towards it to call forth
their best efforts.
The newspapers status IN q town
Is an index to most of those qualities
by which one judges of it's desirability
us q place of residence and its COM
mercial prosperity.
It is the positive duty Of every man
to help make his town known, increase
its prestige and add to it's reputation of
being live, wide-awake place, by sub
scribing to the local newspaper

An Obliging rlinister.

Mr.. James Watson and Miss Annie
Alexander, both of Perryville, were
married Monday evening, by Rev. w. E.
Bird, pastor ofthe M f. church, this city.
The couple came here late in the evening
and presented a license issued by the
Clerk of the Circuit Court for Cecil county.
Mr.. Bird explained that they must be
married in the county in which the
license was issued, and advised them to
secure the services of Rev. II. G. Budd OF
Perryville. They, however, perferred to
be married by Mr.. Bird, and requested
him to go to Cecil with them for the pur,
pose, which he finally consented to do,
and the party walked the bridge until
they reached the Perryville end of it,
where Mr.. Bird i1npressively rendered
the service that made the young couple

Cecil's Clerk of the Circuit Court
Dead.

W. P. Howard, clerk of the
circuit court died at his home a
few miles from El<ton on Sunday
morning, after a short illness. Mr..
Howard was appointed by Judge
Stump to the position made vacant
by the death of Clerk Jas. T. Ora
ham few months ago. The death
of Mr.. Howard necessitates the ap-
pointment of another clerk imme-
diately to fill the place, there being
business connected with the office
that cannot be transacted legally
while the Office is vacant. With
the death of the Clerk his deputy
also expires, though the man does
not necessarily die.

THROUGH WONDERLAND.
Personality onducted Tours to
Yellowstone Park via Penn
svIyania Railroad,

The Yellowstone Park is one of the
most wonderfully attractive regions of
the world. Its beauties of scenery, the
wild grandeur of its mountains and
canons, compel the admiration of every
visitor, while its phenomenal geysers and
curious neurological formations make it
rich field for the investigation of the
scientists. Universal interest attaches to
it, and in order that the natural desire to
visit it may be accomplished i'll the most
satisfactory manner the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged for a
tour covering a period of sixteen days,
leaving New York and Philadelphia,
Thursday, August 27.
AS the tour will be run under the per-
sona1ly-conducted tourist system inaugu-
rated by the above named company, it is
hardly necessary to give the assurance
that it will be arranged in the most COM
plete manner. 1t might be well to state,
however, that no other means of seeing
the park thoroughly is comparable to that
afforded by a we'll ordered personally
conducted tour.
A special train, consisting of dining,
Pullman vestibule drawing room sleeping,
compartment, and observation cars, which
will be the best that can be secured, will
be provided, in which passengers will
live Ell route, and whenever the journey
is broken the choicest rooms in the lead
ing hotels will be reserved for the use of
the tourists, for which regular rates are
paid, so that the guests, although
members of party, enjoy all the privi-
leges of individuals who may have made
their own selections.
The party will be conducted through
out by tourist agent especially selected
for his ability and experience, with
chapron to look after the comfort of lady
passengers.
The rate, covering every necessary ex-
pense, will be $2Io from Boston, and $500
from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington and Harrisburg; proportion
ate rates from other points.
Detailed itinerary will be sent on APP
plication to Tourist Agent, 2o5 Washing
ton Street, Boston: II96 Broadway, New
York; $50 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, or
Room All, Broad Street Station, Phila.

The New Clerk.

Judge Stump has appointed John G..
Williams to fill the vacancy in the clerk
ship caused by the death of William P.
Howard. Mr. Williams has been deputy
clerk under Jas. 7. Graham and Mr..
Howard and is therefore we'll qualified to
fill the position of chief clerk. J. S.
Green we presume will be continued as
deputy clerk.

1t was i'll 1888 that Jas. Gilpin came

cave near a large rock. Here he lived for
several years, raising family of IS chill
dren, 70 of whom were born in the cave.
His eldest son, Samuel Gilpin, moved to
Cecil county and took up tract of land
Zoo acres) building his home near the
rocks in 1875, where it is yet found stand
ing and in good state of preservation.
AS we sat viewing the beautiful scene of
the falls, very welcome friend joined us
with large basket. We gave our kind
friend hearty welcome, for soon he had
spread before us bountiful repast.
1t was not till the stars made their APP
pearance that we were willing to leave

home much pleased with the trip. We ex-
tend our most hearty thanks to Mr.. Geo.
Hopkins for having so kindly contributed
to and aided in making for us so pleasant

Fatality Among Horses.

DIR. Albert w. Clement, the
State veterinarian, reports to the
Government and the live stock
board that he has two localities in
the State of Maryland in charge
where horses and cattle are suffer
ing from thorax.
This fatal disease, it is said, was
brought from South America in
hides. The hides were tanned in
New Jersey, and the washings from
them contaminated the marshes
from which grass is often shipped
as packing material for goods and
in other ways, and is thought to
have been the means of spreading
the disease. The matter will be
fully investigated by the Governor.

that the most disagreeable medicines are
not necessarily the best. In fact, as a

something mild and sure, such as Cham

when reduced with water and sweetened.
