Several Of our citizens attended
the Bryan meetings in Baltimore and
Dover last Saturday and Monday.

The withdrawal of the proposed
Old Point excursion last Saturday was
great disappointment to many per-
sons in this and other sections of the
county. Quite a number were here
from Berlin, Ocean City aud other
towns in the county for the purpose OF
going on this excursion and there was
some talk of suing the company for
their expenses. We would suggest
that the Steamboat Company decide
certain about running il before adver-
tising another excursion. The reason
we understand for not running the
excursion was that no tickets were sold
below this point.
The steamer William Il. McCabe,
well known here and Of which f. I.
Williams, of +. T. Williams & Son, is
part owner and captain, run down the
schooner Judy, OF Crisfield, of Smiths
Island one night last week. No sooner
had the accident occurred than Captain
Williams put the McCabe alongside
the schooner and lowed her until she
went down about three-quarters of an
hour later. The captain of the Judy,
his wife, two children, a lady passenger
and the crew were taken aboard the
McCabe. The schooner was bound
from Crisiield To Baltimore, light. She
is sunk in about nine iathons, her
masts being just above water. A
signal light was placed on her main
mast. and the McCabe left with the
shipwrecked party for Crisiield, where
they were landed the following day.
Many readers of the MESSENGER

and regret, Of the death Of one OF
