New Occasions.

The May number of NezO Occasions is
unquestionably the best specimen of a
reform magazine yet produced in this
country. With it the size of the magazine
is enlarged and it steps into the front
rank not only from literary but an
artistic standpoint. The handsome cover
page was designed by Henry Ives Cobb,
the famous Worlds Fair architect, and
the decorative features are from the pen
of Harry o Landers, the renowned news
paper artist. Sixty-four pages are devoted
to topics of lively popular interest and
there is not dull paragraph in the mag

Roasted Alive,

On Saturday afternoon last about
3 O'Clock, the house in which
Dennis McGonigal was living with
his son-in-law Edward Mulhern,
about two miles north of Rising
Sun, caught fire and there being nc
other person near, the old man,
who was aged 10Y years and unable
to save himself was almost entirely
cremated, some of the largest bones
only remaining unconsumed. His
daughter, Mrs. Mulhern, had gone
out to look after the COWS and hel
husband was at work on the farm a
short distance away, but no assist
ance was near enough in time to
rescue the old man. There were
several theories to account for the
fire but none of them more than
mere guesses. The first parties
to reach the burning house saw
through the window the old man
lying on the floor apparently life
less but the room was full of flames
and no one could reach him with
out running the risk of almost
certain destruction, though his
daughter struggled hard, and
would have rushed into the flames
had she not been held back. There
was about 800 in money in the
house which being mostly paper
was lost. There were several
dollars in silver which cannot he
found among the ashes while
buttons and other metal articles
were not destroyed by the heat,
which has created a suspicion in
some persons that the house might
have been robbed and set on fire,
though this is mere speculation.
The age of Mr.. McGonigal was
procured by the priest who wrote
to Ireland and the date of his econ
frmationn was found ON the church
records.
States Attorney Evans hearing
of the burning of Mr.. McGonigal in
the house came up on Wednesday
evening to investigate and drove
out to the place, but ascertained
that it was in Pennsylvania and out
side of his jurisdiction.
Funeral services were held Ovel
McGonigal's remains last Tuesday
The house was insured in the Dot
Run company for $405.

A wooden structure in Paris, in
which a charitable bazaar was
being held, was destroyed by fire
Tuesday, the illuminating appa-
ratus of a acknowledgement having
exploded. The stalls were presided
over by leaders of Partisan society
and there were from 1900 to 1900
persons in the building. A terrible
panic followed the alarm of fire and
a rush was made for the exits.
Many persons were trampled and
crushed to death before the flames
reached them. The structure
burned so rapidly that the root
fell in in twelve minutes. One
hundred bodies have been recov-
cred and it is thought many more
are in the ruins. One hundred and
eighty persons were injured. Many
of those who escaped had all their
clothing torn off.

Col. Copeland's Lecture.

Col. Copeland on Saturday even
ing delivered the concluding lecture
of the series and it has been almost
invariably the luck of the course, a
rainy, disagreeable night prevented
nearly all out-Of-town people from
enjoying the lecture which proved
a rare treat to listen to. Col. Cope
land is a fine orator and the sub
stance of his lecture was a rare dis
section and exposition of the general
narrowness and short coming OF
human nature. Seeing the Ele-
phant," the subject of the lecture,
was used as a capital take off to the
way people view things generally.
The hint is taken from one of SaXe's
humorous poems which describes
six blind men seeing an elephant.
Each man formed his impression OF
the animal by the part he CHANGED
to first touch and the consequence
was that the six blind men had each
a different idea of the elephant and
what the beast resembled. So it is
with the majority of people. They
see but single part and jump al
an opinion in place of mastering the
whole of the subject before forming
their opinion.

Rum and Razors-West Nottingham
Township the Scene of Drunken
Mans Attempt to nurder.

Mans Attempt to rlurder.
Harry Morrison, disturber OF
the peace and heavy drinker, ap-
peared in West Nottingham town
ship lately and seemed disposed to
create trouble. A drink of whisky
would gear him up to any deviltry
and soon he was regarded as chad
man" with a razor. Such q fellow
has followers and Morrison became
acquainted with Henry Greenfield
and w. A. Reynolds of the town
ship. This trio met Tuesday at
Joseph Ford's house and before the
sun grew strong they were fighting
drunk. Loud words led to blows
and Morrison whipped out a razor
and proceeded to enforce his argu-
ments by carving Greenfield and
Reynolds without mercy.
In his drunken frenzy he cut
these men terribly. After time
be ceased in his devilish work and
fell over in drunken stupor. The
men succeeded in reaching their
homes and physician was sum-
moned who sewed up the wounds.
Towards evening w. T. Reynolds,
father of w. A. Reynolds, went to
Ford's house to satisfy himself why
his son had been cut. Morrison's
blood had cooled somewhat but at
the sight of the old man he flew at
him with the razor. The old man
was loaded for such game and
promptly knocked Morrison to the
floor with a club and tied him hand
and foot.
Soon afterwards Squire w. S. |
Campbell issued warrant for Nor
rison's arrest. 1t was served by |
Constable S. J. Pollock who took |
the murderously inclined and rum
bewildered man to the Squire's
office. Quite clever representa-
ton of the countryside showed up
at the temple of justice and the
hearing was dispatched with snap
that stamped Morrison candidate
for prison. In default of bail
Squire Campbell committed Nor
1ison to Jail. He was brought to
Oxford Wednesday morning by
Constable Pollock and taken on the
first train to West Chester.

A prominent western newspaper recom-
mends flax seed tea as an excellent
remedy for whooping cough. It may be
good but it is not to be compared with
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. This
preparation will allay the violent fits of
coughing and make them less frequent
and less severe. 1t also liquefes the
tough mucus, making it easier to expec-
torate. Complete recovery is much
quicker, too, when this remedy is given.
There is no danger in giving it to small
children, as it is pleasant syrup and con-
tains nothing injurious. For sale at rs
and so cents per bottle by F. T. Reynolds.

Flag Presentation.

Friday afternoon, was gala day
at the site of the "Old Stone:
school house. Now new school
house of modern style stands where
the old structure stood whose sub
stantial stone walls were reared in
the last century, description of,
and interesting "reminiscences fur
nished by 1. r. Taylor, will be
found on the fourth page. The
walls of the old building now repose
in the foundation of the new, and
the present building will be known
in the futureas 'EPleasant Meadows'
school.
Friday afternoon last was the
occasion of the presentation of flag
to the school by the Order of United
American Mechanics of Rising Sun,
with the imposing ceremonies con-
nected Herewith. The school room
had been handsomely decorated
with wreaths of evergreen and
flowers hung on the walls, and the
teachers desk was covered with a
profusion of bright flowers.
AT 3 p. m. Mr.. Benjamin Briscoe
called the meeting to order and
announced Mr.. E. M. Hunt as
chairman.
Rev. j. d. Kemp offered prayer
and America was sung, G. w.
Wilson leading the singing. Walter

then read the history of the old
school house, prepared for the oc-
casion by |. r. Taylor. The formal
address by the orator for the order,
Rev.J. d. Kemp was then delivered,
followed by singing Red, White and
Blue. The audience retired from
the school room to the grounds
where the ceremony of raising the
flag was performed. The Mechanics
have a very pretty chant, termed
the Flag Exercise which was per-
formed by the school and the bright
star spangled banner run up to the
top of the flag pole, and as it I'M
folded in the breeze a shower OF
miniature flags fluttered out to the
ground and were secured as me-

The American Mechanics make
it a part of their duty to present
every school with the national
colors, apparently in patriotic def,
ance of the opposition Of the Pope
to secret orders and free sectarian
schools. None but native Ameri
cans are eligible to membership in
the order.

Returned to Cecil County.

Judge Morris at Baltimore on Monday
remanded for trial to the Circuit Court of
Cecil county the case of Mr.. Henry H
Mitchell against Messrs. John K. Cowen
and Oscar G. Murray, receivers of the B.
& o. railroad for damages for diverting
Big Elk creek. Judge Morris holds that
since the petition in the case did not state
that Messrs. Cowen and Murray had been
appointed receivers by order of the United
States Court or by virtue of United States
law, the case could not be removed on
mere allegations in the later pleadings.
The B. & o. had made application for
removal of the case from the State to the
United States Court.

John Brown, an aged and feeble co1ored
man living at Port Deposit, met with
painful accident last Friday. He had for
years been gathering fire wood along the
Susquehanna shore, but this time he went
up on the hill side of E. Noyes farm
when he slipped and fell head long into
pile of rocks and being very weak was
unable to extricate himself No one knew
where he had gone; several people looked
along the shore, thinking he might have
been drowned. He lay there all that
afternoon and night until found the next
morning by Master Charles Noyes who
was on his way from Port. The lad was
unable to help the poor old man alone, so
ran down to the river and sent some older
boys to attend him, while he continued
on run to Port, half a mile away, for a
wagon. He succeeded in sending one
down, with help, who soon had the old
man at his home where he died next day.
Charles is only thirteen years old and
deserves credit for his prompt actions.
