Did Ii Belong 70 uOOn?

On Friday last, Sheriff Cooley was called
by colored prisoner, Thomas Wilson. and
on goirg to him was very greatly surprised by
being handed saw of The approved kind
generally used by burglars Upon being
questioned Wilson told the sheriff that while
looking out of his cell window, he noticed
something which had apparently bee hiaden
in the crevice between two stones. He pro-
ceeded to make an investigation and when he
drew the article out he found it to be a saw
such as would have been used in cutting
through iron bars or plates. The ceilin which
it was found is the one from which Adolph
Hoon so nearly escaped. 1t will be remem-
bered that Hoon was within Il few minutes Of
his freedom when discovered by deputy sheriff
Forsythe, and although diligeLt search was
made the tool could never be found and
this may be the instrument with which he
was working.

Assault on Mr. Joseph Archer.

Mr.. Joseph w. Archer,a well known farmer
district and candidate for nomination for the
House Of Delegates was assaulted and pain
fully cut on Monday night by an unknown
man whom he was attempting to assist. Mr..
Archer, in company with his brother George,
had been to Baltimore, and while on th,iI
return. at a point between Wilma post office
and the residence of Mr. Joseph Archer, they
deserted an unknown white man lying ap,
parently asleep along the road side, with q
horse standing close hy. Thinking probably
that he was injured, the Messrs. Archer dis
noun ted and went to his assistance, raising
him 10 his feet and cudeavored to discover
his identity. Mr.. Archer gave the man a
vigorous shaking, when he suddenly turned
and drawing knife made a fierce thrust
striking Mr.. Archer upon the wrist cutting d
deep cash and severing the artery. rendering
his hand useless. The act was SO sudden and
unexpected that before Mr.. Archer could re-
cover himself, his assailant sprang upon his
horse and escaped.
Messrs Robert and Richard Hollingsworth,
who reside near by were summoned and the
wound attended to. He was removed to his
residence and DR.. Gorsuch summoned. Mr..
Archer can assign no reason for the action Of
the man, who seemed to be under the influence
of liquor and unable to take such an action.
The man was an entire stranger. Mr.. Archer
is not considered to be seriously injured, but
will be iucapacitated for work for some time.

The Storm of Sunday.

The thunder storm which swept over Cen
trail Mary land on Sunday evening, WAS a
very heavy one and the electrical display was
almost unequaled. Vivid flashes of lightning
were accompanied by tremendous peals OF
thunder and an excessive down pour, while
the wind blew fercely. The residence OF
Captain William +. Moore, on Washington
street, Havre de Grace, was struck by light
ming but not materially damaged. The es-
cape of the family, as well as the building
was miraculous. The house was struck on
the west side and Il large hole was torn in the
roof. 1t then changed and striking the other
wing, tore through the cornice and scattered
the plastering.
A large poplar tree standing within a few
yards of the residence of Mr. William II. Har
Ian, on Pennsylvania Avenue, Bel Air, wac
struck about ten o'clock at night and com
pIetely shattered. Huge splinters were hurled
over hundred feet by the force of the blow,
MIR. HaIlan's family was very badly frighht'
ened but fortunately received no injuries.

The Canning Outlook.

The canning season has about made start
in Hartford county, and is about two weeks
later than usual. The indications seem to
point to short crop, in fact those who are
well posted on affairs predict that not more
than half a crop will be harvested. The rea-
sons for this are apparent. The early drought
which prevailed through Hartford county was
followed by several weeks Of excessively wet
weather and the two extremes were disastrous
to the tomatoes, very materially affecting the
fulness of the crop, In nearly all cases where
the Fl nit had been planted on low lying ground
il was bIdly scalded and it has been noticed
that there are but few young tomatoes on the
vines This is the cause Of much regret, es-
peciaily in this county where so many interests
are concerned and SO large a number Of peo-
pie are in a great measure dependent upon
the su, cess Of the canning goods trade. In
the extreme p lrt of Hartford county especially,
there has been for number Of years pas
capital and labor invested from year to year
until the general business interests are great
er in that lire than any other. Even partial
| failure OF the crop, means therefore disaster
to a large number Of our people, and this, al
| though rise in prices is effected by the
] shortage Of the crop.

Marsh Duck Season Opens.

The open season for the shooting of blue
wing teal and other marsh ducks began on
Monday on the Susquehanna flats, the open
season being from August 18th to October
Although they can now be lawfully shot, little
hunting will be done for them before Septem
Der list, as the binds do not usually CO. gre
gate in sufficient numbers to make the shoot
ing profitable before that date, when the
advance guard of cherised canvasbacks begins
to arrive plentifully.
The flats are this season covered with 9
heavy growth of wild celery. At low water
the appearance is that of huge grass fed
containing thousands of of acres and coverCd
with crop Of hay. There is no question as
to the supply Of food for the birds this seasC Il
and if great numbers of the feathered tribe do
not appear ON the cunning grounds when Il e
first of November rolls around, it will be due
to some other cause and not to the food sup
