Early REOKGANIzATLON

In connection with the call for Dem
ocratic primaries and county conven-
ton of Wicomico, the Salisbury
Advertiser says:
ut is an important duty which the
voters of the county are called upon
to T erform. There should be no mis-
take made in the selection of persons
to represent the people. 1t has been
intimated of late that an effort will
be made at the State convention, by
certain persons to get control of the
convention, regardless of conse-
quences. That such a course would
simply bring disaster TO the party
goes without saying. There is no dis
guising the fact thatparty reorganiza-
ton is absolutely necessary to success
at the coming election, and re
organization, too, on n basis broad
enough to receive all elements of the
party. IL the rank and file refuse, as
they certainly did last year, to accept
the leadership of those now in control,
new leaders must be selected. The
convention must decide for itself
which it prefers-party success or the
leadership of men whom the party
will not accept. 1t is entirely useless
to discuss the question whether the
tail shall wag the dog or the dog the
tail The dog and tail must both
wag if the race is won, and must wag
lively, too. The party is confronted
with a condition that has not existed
before in the last twenty five years
the republicans in control of the State
machinery-andt they not band of
apologists by any means, but active
politicians with bold and aggressive
leaders who are versed in all methods
known to the practical politicians.
BY all means let us send acceptable
men to the national convention, and
we will thereby lay the foundation
for acceptable nominations both in
the State and in the counties for 1897"

BROAD GUAGING THE BALTI-
MORE AND LEHIGH

Despite rumors to the contrary, it
seems to be an established fact that
strong efforts are being made to con-
solidate the Baltimore and Lehigh
and York Southern railroads ON a
broad guage basis. We are reliably
informed by those interested, that
while there has been no direct offer
made, n responsible bid will be made
as soon as terms can be agreed upon
and that the bid will be backed by an
abundant capital. This is measure
in which all of the people of northern
Hartford are vitality interested. Any
measure which will lead TO rapid
transit, is of Importance as it indicates.
an advanced value to land and pro
duets and will render our beautiful
county one of the most prosperous
in the State. The proximity of Har-
ford to the city of Baltimore, with the
advantage of rapid transit, renders it
most desirable for suburban homes.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

Tomorrow, is the day assigned for

neither County nor State officers are

turn out of voters. A thorough and

be married to his cousin, William
Lewis. On the night of her death there
was a thunder storm. At 1880 o'clock
that night a citizen, who lived near the
spot where at Z o'clock the next morn
ing the woman's dead body was found,
heard woman shrek. Rose that night
had called at Lewis fathers home. He
had escorted her part of the way to her
own home and had returned to'his at
10 o'clock. When found it was noticed
that her shoes were covered with dust,
so that she could not, therefore, have
been out in the storm. Near by was an
old dancing pavilion. and persons re-
membered having heard laughter COM
ing from it during the storm. The de-
cision was that she had been strangled,
then stabbed in the pavilion. and had
then been carried after the storm to the
meadows where she was found.
Investigation then showed that the
girl had been of trifling disposition,
| and that she had been the guilty one
and not her divorced husband. Even
before she got her divorce she and
Lewis had been unduly intimate, and
she had also had love affairs and subse-
quent quarrels with other men, one OF
whom. sailor, had left the town en-
gagged to her and returned to find her
married to another. The divorced hus-
band proved that he was forty miles
from Stratford the night of the murder
and suspicion then fell upon Lewis.
One man said that he had seen Lewis
and the girl driving in buggy late that
evening. and another said that at 6
o'clock the next morning Lewis told
him that his sweetheart had been MUIR
dered the night before while her body
was not discovered until o'clock. Sew
eral persons were arrested, but no one
could prove where the girl had been
from S:i5 o'clock that evening when
Lewis left her half way on her way
home. She insisted always that he
should not accompany her all the way
home-until IL 80 o'clock, when her dy-
ing shrek was heard. Lewis proved by
his family that he came home at II
o'clock, and that he went to bed ant
stayed there. The coroners jury re
, turned a verdict that she had come Il
her death at the hands of an unknown
person and the case was dropped.
In the murder OF Mary Anderson in
lonely spot near Perth Amboy on tn
afternoon OF June s, 1892, there wer
the same striking features as in tn
crimes already detailed. The girl wa
just 10 years of age. The murder wa
done at sis o'clock, and the body dis
covered seven minutes later, and tire
minutes after that a young man wa
coming out of the woods where tn
body was found. The murderer ha

when n Doctor Il Not Near


1t is very often the case that at just
the time one needs medical man it Is
impossible to get him. A sick person
may take a chill after the doctor has
paid his call. Warm the patient at
once. Fill strong bottles with hot
water, placing them under the knees,
at the feet, under the armpits. Give
stimulants and cover with blankets.
After he warns up, do not sweat him,
but gradually remove the extra cover
ing. Be sure TO keep an even temper
ature in the sick room. This is most
important at night and in the small
hours of the morning. Always have
hot water available in sickness of any
kind. Anyone with the average intel
ligence can keep track OF the pulse

case of Paintings or sinking spells he
may know when to give stimulants. A
