Fast Train to Washington, Baltl-
more and New York.

1t will be gratifying to the citizens
of Frederick to realize the fact that the
obliging aud efficient General Passen-
ger Agent of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad is alive to the wants and ne
cesities of the merchants and the gen
eral travelling community of Freder-
ick. For years numerous complaints
have been made about the long and
tiresome waits at Washington juno
ton for those going east and west.
All this has been changed through the
attention given the matter by Mr..
Scull. Passengers can now leave Fred
erick at Ills a. m, reaching Washing
ton Junction in time to take No. 2
st. Louis express, which leaves the
Junction at IL Is, reaching Washing
ton at 1920, two hours ride from this
city. This train makes connection with
fast trainsAto Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York. The 1915 train also
makes connections with fast trains to
the West. For this great improvement
in our time table on the b. d o., the
thanks of our people are most freely
given. Now for a quick train to Balti-
tilnore over the main line.

KILLED BY SNAKES.
The Terrible Calamity Which Be-
fel a Family While Asleep in
Their Home.

CHAMBERsBURG, July 10Th. = The
family OF Martin l.. Drury, we'll
known farmer, WHO lives on the North
Mountain, III this county, in Nom gom-
cry township, was on Thursday night
attacked by copperhead snakes with
fatal results. The heat of the night
was oppressive and Drury, his wife
aud two children, 6 and Years respec-
lively. had taken their bedding to a
room in the lower story and were rleep-
ing on the floor in their iInprov ised
beds.
During the night the 6-year-old b y
aWoke the rest of the family 10y crying
out that something had bitten him.
The father struck light anu saw a big
copperhead snake crawling awaw from
the bed which he and the boy had oc-
cupied. The younger child, which had
been in bed with the mother, then be-
gan crying and the mother, upon rails
ing the bed coverings, saw another
snake coiled around the legs of the
baby. The snake had already bitten
the child in several places and when
it dropped to the floor it attacked the
mother, VINO was bitten twice.
During the excitement both snakes
disappeared in the cellar of the house.
A neighbor was sent to Mercersburg,
eight miles distant, for physician.
When the doctor arrived he found Mrs.
Drury and both children suffering ter
ribly, with their legs swollen and al
most black. The baby died in a few
hours. Intelligence reached here this
afternoon that the boy had died and
that no hopes were entertained for the
recovery of the mother. The terrible
results have created a great excitement
in the COMMUNICATIONS Herald.

FROM every section of the country
recruits seem to be pouring into the
Bryan camp. Prominent Democrats
who did not endorse the platform have
openly espoused the cause of what is
now called the peoples fight. Re-
publicans and Democrats admit the
necessity of at least trial of the new
financial ideas. Many, indeed thou
sands, contend that our situation is
most deplorable and that the present
contemplated change cannot make
things any worse than they have been.
Twenty-Five years of gold rule and
gold legislation has. beyond question,
brought no relief to the great body of
producers scattered throughout every
section of the Union. Now give us,
say the people, some legislation for the
masses, legislation that will bring the
greatest good to the greatest number.
Let us try the change.
