Worthington's Store BurgIarized

For the second time this fall the
store of E. II. Worthington, in this
town, was broken into on last Mon
day night and about $50 worth of
clothing stolen. The thieves en-
tered by breaking open window
at the back of the building. Two
overcoats, two pairs of shoes, under
clothing, shirts, neckties, two pair
of pants and two vests are all that
the proprietor and clerks are sure
is missing, but more may have been
taken.
A colored family's house at Syc-
amore mills, one mile from town,
was searched but nothing found.
Walter Brown, a colored man, was
arrested on suspicion and had a
hearing before Squire Taylor and
was held for further examination.

Narrow Escape from Drowning.

A horse when frightened has
probably less sense than any other
animal. William ID. Summers, of
Philadelphia, who spends several
months of the year at his summer
residence, White Hail." on the
Elk River, had narrow escape
from drowning Tuesday night. He
was going to Elkton, when his horse
became frightened, left the road,
and dashed overheard into the Elk
River near the Scott Fertilizer
Company's plant at the foot of
Bridge street. Mr.. Summers man
aged to get out of the water and
went to the Howard House. A
party went in search of the horse,
but it was not found until the next
morning. 1t had made it's way up
the stream several hundred yards
from where it had gone in, and was
nearly drowned when discovered.
There was but little water in the
river at the point where the team
went overheard, owing to an ex-
tremely low tide.

The Shoe Factory.

A small number of shares remain
to be subscribed to complete the
capital stock required to establish
the shoe factory at this place, and
there should be last strong pull
to complete the subscriptions. The
great advantage to the entire COM
munity of steady employment OF
fifty or sixty persons is so apparent
that it is unnecessary to dilate on
that fact. The small remnant of
stock not yet taken should be made
up without further delay so that a
charter could be taken out for the
incorporation of the company next
week and work commenced on the
building and completed before cold
weather settles down to stay. The
enterprise has advanced so far that
its success is scarcely predetermined,
and that a fair dividend will be
earned on the capital stock when
preliminary expenses incident to
starting any new business have
been met, there seems to he no
doubt in the minds of the best bus
mess men who have carefully looked
into the enterprise from every point
of view.

Death of ChaS. A. Dana.

Charles A. Dana, editor of The
New York Sun, died on Sunday
afternoon, October 18th, at the age
of rs years.
He showed his good sense in the
request he made in having his obit
uary published. The only an
nouncement which the Sun made
of the death of it's famous editor
was the following ten words, print
ed at the head of the editorial
columns
"Charles Anderson Dana, editor
of the Sum- died yesterday after
noon."
The brevity of the notice occa-
stoned some surprise in newspaper
circles but the explanation is SIM
pie. One of the last wishes Mr..
Dana expressed to his son when he
knew that his end was not far off,
was this:
"Paul, when 1 am gone, don't
have a long obituary printed in the
Sun Simply announce my going
away; and that is ALL" And this
request was needed.

Perryville on Paper.

Its prospective future as reported
in the Baltimore Sun:
"lt is reported that a syndicate
has been formed in New York
whose intention it is to build large
manufacturing plants at the head
of the Chesapeake Bay. A rail
road is to be built direct from the
coal mines in Pennsylvania to the
Chesapeake, and coal depot of i'm
mense proportions to be established.
A shipyard is also to be one of the
features and the handling of grain
for export. The principal plant is
to be for the extraction of iron from
ore by an electrical process, that
will revolutionize the manufacture
of that metal. Everything will be
operated by electricity which is to
be generated by using the water
power of the Susquehanna a few
miles above. Perryville is said to
be the site determined upon and
the evolution of that little town
into manufacturing city of consid-
cradle consequence is among the
possibilities
