August y, 1897.
Mr.. William G. Markoe has finished
laying the foundation for store room
for Mr.. w. II. Moore, near his resi-
dence.
Last Wednesday, the 4th inst, was
one of the hottest days of the season.
The therommeter at 4.45 p. M. regis
tered 92 degrees.
The Rev. Harvey Richardson ana
Mr.. Charles Richardson, of Roanoke,
and Berkely Springs, Va are visiting
their parents al Yellow Springs.
Miss Jennie Householder, of Fred
erick, is the guest of Mrs. Charles G..
Orrieon.
Mr.. Alexander Giles, wife and
daughter, of Washington, ID. c., are
summering with Mrs. Charles Falk,

The annual picnic of the Rocky
Springs Sunday School was held list
Saturday i'm the woods near the Re-
ceiver, on the road leading to Shocks
town. and was as usual, pleasant and
agreeable affair. The attendance was
not large, but every body seemed to en-
Joy themselves to their hearts con-
tent. The Sunday School choir ac-
quilted themselves very creditably IN
their part of the program. The Yellow
Springsboys also added another feather
to their cap in their music. The band
has new member in the shape ola lit
tie tot of about 8 or 10 years of age.
He plays the big bass horn. The
horn is bigger than he il. This little
fellow attracted a great deal of atten-
ton at the picnic. Addresses were
made by the Rev. Eschbach, of Fred
erick, and the Rev. Harvey Richard
son, of Virginia. A very pretty and
tastefulIy decorated stand was erected
on the ground. In the afternoon the
children received treat of candy.
The suggestion made by the CITI-
ZEN that there should be placed in the
postoffice receptacle for old papers,
magazines, etc, for the use of the in
mates of Montevue Hospital, is very
good one. The idea was conceived
by man in New York City some
years ago. He placed box on the
street with notice stating for what
purpose the box was placed there.
The scheme was so successful that
other boxes were placed in various
parts of the city. The citizens of
Frederick are great readers and many
of them would donate magazines, pa
pers, etc. The inmates of Montevue
would appreciate anything in the
shape of magazine or newspaper.

Gasoline Explosion.

The home of Mr. Lewis Bruchey,
on East Seventh street, was the scene
of disastrous explosion on Wednes-
day morning last. Shortly after 7
O'clock Mrs. Bruchey went into the
summer kitchen built in the yard, a
few feet from the house, to prepare
breakfast. Mr.. Bruchey had already
gone to work at Bowers Lumber
Yard. The gasoline stove was in the
extreme east end of the kitchen and
was lighted. Bessie, the five-year-old
daughter, followed her mother to the
extreme end of the kitchen and sat in
the door, and her little one-year-old
son, whom she carried, was nlaced on
the table few feet from the stove.
Mrs. Bruchey says she attempted
To turn the cock, when Immediately
the explosion followed. She was blind
ed with the flames. The frame build
ing took fire and she cried for help.
The first to come to her aid was an I'M
/ known man, tramp, it is beliey-
ed, from the direction of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad tracks. He seized Bes-
sic, enveloped in flames as she was,
carried her short distance into the
yard, tearing her burning clothes from
her body as he ran. He carefully Ind
her down and disappeared with one
hand wrapped in handkerchief, as if
burned.
Neighbors and railroad men followed
close upon his heels and extlngushed
the flames. David Steiner picked up
the little girl from the spot where the
unknown man had laid her All her
clothes had been burned or torn from
her body, except an apron, which was
still burning. Mr.. Steiner carried her
into Mr.. Fogle's house, where every
possible means were used to alleviate
her suffering, until DR.. CN +. Goodell
came and he did all that medical skill
could suggest. The poor little girl was
frightfully burned One side of her
face was burned and the other side
was baked. Her arms, hands and body
burned severely. She died at 10 a. IN.
Mrs Bruchey was burned about the
face, hands and arms, and her little
son escaped with slight burns on the
forehead and fingers. An alarm of
fire was sounded, but the flames were
eXtinguished before the firemen arriv-
ed. Mr.. Bruchey was notified and
heartbreaking must have been his
homecoming.

A Burglar Killed in the Act of
Robbery

Early Tuesday morning last, an I'M
known white man was shot and
killed while rohbing the store of Mr..
Richard Mercer, at Catoctin Switch.
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
a few miles above Point of Rocks. The
burglar with several acconlplires had
succeeded in getting into the store and
in his plundering aroused Mr. VIM.
Brubaker, the clerk, who occupied a
room above the store. During the past
few years several attempts have been
made To ROB this store, so Mr.. Mercer
and his clerk had prepared themselves
to give warm reception to any who
made further attempts. Mr.. Bruba
ker was alone, so when aroused, he
quietly picked up a rifle and walked
out on landing overlooking the first
floor, out Of sight of the intruder, and
fired. The ball struck the man in the
left shoulder, passed Into the region of
the heart anu caused instant death.
The others fled.
Immediately after the shooting
County Constable and Magistrate w.
b. KraulZ, was notified aud visited
the store. He called jury aud him
self as coroner, Investigated the matter
in view of the body. After hearing
Mr.. Brubaker's testimony and that of
others who knew of the facts of the
case, verdict was rendered of iustifi-
able killing and Mr.. Brubaker was ex-
onerated from all blame. The dead
man appeared to be about 40 years of
age, of dark complexion, black mus
tache and hair The body was brought
10 Washington Junction and buried
in the Potter's field there.
Sheriff Mcbride went the same
morning TO the scene of the shooting
and took the usual legal steps in such
matters. 1t is thought that clue has
been discovered as to the identity of
the dead man. 1t is supposed that he
was George Marshall, of Philadelphia,
Pa. The two that escaped are sup
posed to be canal men and the officers
are trying to find them.

Fresh Air and the City Children.

There is not much that is solid about
fresh air; there is something very solid
about the amount of enjoyment that
can be gotten out of two weeks of free
country life by a city youngster. There
is something solid about the amount of
satisfaction farmer who entertains
them feels when he sees their happi-
ness.
Country people say, LET the city
people take care of their poor" Well,
some of them do all they can. But TO
visit the country is something which
no one but a countryman can give,
and this is what the Children's Fresh
Air Society of Baltimore thinks the
children need most.
The city people raise the money to
send them; visit them in their homes
to see who needs to go. City doctors
examine them to see that they are free
from disease, but that is all the city
people can do, however good their in
ientions may be. Won't the country
people take them to their homes?

statement was issued by the Commit

nounce that owing to the disorderly
conduct of those who follow street pa
rades, which has done more to degrade
us as race, impede our progress and
to bring criticism on us as a people,
which if not curtailed will take years
to eradicate, and we have, therefore,
decided not to parade on the morning
of the excursion. This we believe to
be step in the right direction, and
there will be special officers on the
train. Arrangements have been made
to have sherifis and deputy sheriffs
to meet the trains at all prominent sta
lions along the line, and we will see
that all beats and disorderly persons
are arrested"

Famous Springs at Deer Park.

a million and half gallons of the
purest water on earth, is the daily out
put of the famous Boiling Springs in
Garrett County, Maryland. In order
that nothing can contaminate the
springs, one hundred acres Of land
surrounding it, are fenced in. In adj
dition, wire building covers the
springs, so that no leaves can fall into
the water. 1t is from these eXtraordi-
nary springs that the Deer Park Hotel
receives its water supply, the water
supply, the water being piped direct
to the hotel. The medical fraternity
now concede that in the matter of
health, the question of pure water
stands at the head and front. No
summer resort combines so many
healthful features. The air is wonder
fully pure and invigorating; cool
nights, with absolutely no mosquitoes;
the finest cuisine, with perfect sani-
tary arrangements, makes Deer Park
Hotel the ideal resort.
