am of the opinion that the trouble is caused
by the so-caled stalk borer. As soon as the
adult is reared and specific determination
made, remedy will be suggested. The pest
has been very common in sections of lower
Cecil and upper Kent counties and the farm
ers are very apprehenslve about the safety OF
next years crop. 1t is quite likely that the
attack is local and farmers in other sections
of the State need not have any very grave
fears from the pest next season.

FLoREsvILLE, August 2, 1897.
Last Friday was witnessed here show the
like of which never before was seen in this
county; judicial hanging. All morning PEG
pie streamed INTO town and by one p. M. some
5000 were packed around the yellow brick
Jail, quiet, peaceable and orderly. At l.50
Maxine Martinez stepped from an upper
window motto perfectly constructed hanging
machine, 20 feet above the ground. He
bowed courteously to his audience and then
sang long doggerel, of his own composing,
bemoaning his fate and scolding the beautiful
Mexican lady, Jannita Acosta, whom he
stabbed to death and then violated the body
of. on the night of June 9th last. He had
killed with an axe her aged grandparents
while asleep just before.
After his song he delivered lot OF cheap
advice, and begged humanity to care for his
wife and two children who were near by.
Promptly the proper officer put nice string
around his collar, the pressure of lever, and
devil incarnate, two legged fiend, sudden :
ly stopped in midair with broken neck, and
according to law, one less dangerous scoun-
drel alive.
Cotton is opening lively, and two powerful
ginning plants here are ready to handle the

MORE AND PURHR WATER.
The Westminster Water Company Has
Sunk Six ArteSian Wells and Has Water
Enough for a Population of $4,000.

The Westminster Water Company has re-
Gently finished the boring of six artesian wells
at the pumping station, all of them being in
the immediate vicinity of the one hundred
thousand gallon pool
The boring was completed on Thursday,
and supply amounting to about 500 gallons
obtained. The wells will be connected with
underground mains and these with epumps
will enable the company to pump direct INTO
the reservoir mains, thus giving to our citizens
a fresher as well as a purer supply of water
than heretofore had from the surface streams.
The securing of an additional supply was
rendered necessary by reason of the increased
consumption by our citizens and of the prob
ability that a serious drouth would materially
lessen the supply obtained from the springs.
AS the company is now situated it is able TO
furnish enough water to meet the wants of a
population of Is, 600 inhabitants.
The work was expensive, but when COM
pleted our people can boast of water plant
that is not equalled in whatever light consid-
cred by any city in Maryland. The boring
was done by Messrs. Smith and Croft, of
Adams county, Pa.

New York. March Il. II \
Havana special to the World
says:
Through Cubans here it is
learned that a train carrying
Spanish troops was blown
up by dynamite while pass

CURED about the 10th instant.
The Spanish general had learn
ed of Ia projected insurgent
attack, supposedly on San Girls
tObal, and he sent off 800 troops
in armOred cars to reinforce the
garrison there. About ten miles
from San Cristobal the road
crosses a deep gorge on a very
high bridge about 800 feet long.
The insurgents learning of the
departure Of the train lined the
bridge at the bends and the
centers with heavy charges of
dynamite, connecting the eX-
plosive by wires with a battery
in the woods some distance off.
Three hundred insurgents lay
in ambush near by. 1t is un-
derstood that the MINI brothers
were in command, and that
Capt. John Lynn, the young
American electrical engineer
who has made himself famous
in Cuba for his work on the
dynamite gun, contrived the af-
fair. The train approached the
bridge about 8 o'clock in the
morning. When fully on it, all
three charges were exploded by
the wires. The engine and cars
went into the air like so many
chips and fell into the deep
gorge below, crushing dead and
injured alike. There the wreck
age caught fire. AS soon as the

gents dashed nom ~
cade with wild cries and began
a massacre. But for the timely
hoisting of a white flag by Col.
Mores, who was in command of

it was the Cubans secured 300
prisoners. including ten officers.

The end OF the fight came
with startling suddenness. The
fourteenth round was well i'm
progress, when Corbett, who
had assumed the aggressive,
had forced Fitz INTO the north
west corner Of the ring. He
was jabbing Bob's bloody face,
when the lutier's left arm sho,

right over the heart and he
staggered. Then came a jolt
on the jaw that sent him down.

when the deciding blow was
struck.
