has assigned a thoroughly equipped

as the case may be. Each geologist
has associated with him one or two
younger men, who report constantly
to him.

ROBBED BY HIGHWAYMEN.
Two Colored Men "HoId Up" a New
York Woman at Elkton.

Two colcred highwaymen Satur-
day night held up Mrs. Hyman,
of New York city, who is boarding
in Ell1ton during the racing at Iron
Hill. Mrs. Lyman arrived in
Elkton on the midnight train,
having missed an earlier train, and
started for her boarding house alone.
She had only proceeded a short
distance when she was attacked by
the two men. She was not injured,
but very much frightened. The
highwaymen succeeded in getting
thirty dollars, all the money she
had. Her cries of "murder"
awakened and alarmed the neigh
borhood. Mrs. Hyman says she
would recognize her assailants if
she saw them again. The authori-
ties have searched diligently for
some clue, but so far have been I'M
successful.

Stack Yard Burned.

On Thursday evening of last
week the stack yard of William
Lloyd, tenant ON the Biddle farm,
about two miles from Elkton, was
discovered to be ON fire. The farm
hands made every effort to subdue
the flames but failed, and three
stacks of wheat and one of oats
were burned.
There being danger OF the fire
spreading to the buildings, Mr..
Lloyd and his neighbors, who were
assisting him, decided to ask the
Singerly Fire Company for their
engine. Mr.. Geo. r. Howard
volunteered to furnish the horses
and the steamer was taken out to
the farm, engineer Hinson and a
squad of fireman going along. They
were on duty all night and pre-
vented the flames from spreading,
and finally eXtinguished the fire in
the stacks.
Mr.. Lloyd was badly burned
about the face, breast and hands in
his effort to put out the fire. The
loss to him is considerable as il
represented nearly his entire crop
and was not insured.

Lightning's Strange Franks.

During the great electrical storm
of Monday evening the chimney
that is about in the middle of Allen
Browns house was struck with
lightning, the top being scattered
in all directions; the bolt followed
the flue to the second floor, making
various holes in the plastering in
it's descent until it came in contact
with a joist, which was almost en-
tirely split into kindling wood, tore
up considerable floor, then ran
down the outside of the house to
the earth, taking every piece of sid
ing from where it came out down
to the porch floor. One branch of
the lightning tore large opening
in the flue where the pipe from the
cook stove enters, the stove being
broken and thrown over. Several
pieces of furniture in this room, the
kitchen, were split and broken by
flying brick and heavy conclusion,
and strange to say not one of the
seven occupants were in any way
injured.
Mrs. Brown was standing near a
window from which the curtain
was torn; Mr.. Brown was seated
near the stove and three little chill
dren were lying directly in front,
over which brick and plaster were
thrown with sufficient force to break
a stand, the plastering, etc., yet no
one was hurt.
The guards were forced from the
flue with such force that their
prints can be plainly seen on the
plastering at the further end of the
rooms on both first and second
floors. Fifty-two panes of glass
were broken from the windows and
nearly all the little ornaments and
vases, including the clock and
lamps, were hurled from the man
tells and destroyed. Clothing was
knocked from hooks, torn in strips,
rolled into bundles and left some
what scorched, yet nothing was set
on fire.

Wesley Falls of North East attorneys for

Institute is built on part of their pro-
perty and this the defendant denies and
the survey was made for the purpose of
locating the professions of both parties.
The result of the contest will have to be
settled by the court as nothing is con-
clusively shown by the survey.
The Davis heirs claim that rs feet or
more of the building stands on their land.

Budd Haines has a Battle With Fish
Pot Thieves.

For some time DR.. Jas. E. Haines
familiarity known as "Budd" has
been missing fish from his fish-pot
on the Hartford side of the river.
Saturday night DR.. Haines, with
Clifton Blackburn, sat among some
trees looking for the thieves. A
little after midnight, they heard a
splash in the river, and in a few
minutes saw a man stringing a
bunch of fish. DR.. Haines opened
fire on the intruder, and stung him
pretty badly. Two of his comrades
rushed down the bank, and assaulted
the doctor, hitting him with stones,
cutting his head and bruising his
face badly, the doctor had not been
idle, for he knocked one out with his
gun, breaking the stock off, young
Blackburn assisting, but three
against two was too much until
Blackburn remembered he had a
pistol, pulled it out, and threatened
to shoot, when the battle ceased.
The following account of the affair was
given the Perryville Record by Mr..
Haines.
He has fish pot near the Hartford
shore and for some time past has been
annoyed by having the pot robbed. Mr..
Haines says he knew who the thieves
were and served notice on them that I'M
less they desisted they would get hurt to
which he says they replied that they
would continue to take fish and attend to
his case too. Last Saturday night Mr..
Haines took his gun and stationed him.
self to watch. About O'Clock in the
morning he saw man swim out to the
pot who turned out to be Greer. The
man crawled up on the pot and began to
pull out the fish. Mr.. Haines snapped
the first barrel and fired the second hitting
Greer, who then started for the shore
bringing the fish with him. AS soon as
he had fired however he was set upon by
the two other men who we're ashore wait
ing for their companion. Things were
getting very hot for Mr.. Haines who was
being badly cut with stones, and he
warned his assailants to desist or he
would be obliged to hurt them, but they
made at him the more savagely. He then
drew his pistol and put bullet into
Green who fell. He then hit Hawkins
over the head with the butt end of his
gun knocking him senseless and it is said
that he did not come to till S O'Clock the
next morning, Haines then went home
and says he purposes having warrants
taken out for the arrest of the three men.
Greer and Hawkins are said to be seriously
injured.
Mr.. Haines has entered suit against his
assailants and employed lawyer tc
prosecute the case. 1t will be likely tc
go hard with the "Algerians,"
