A Narrow Escane.

Willie lIollingsworth, fiye-year-old son of
DR.. Charles A. HolIngsworth, of Bel Air,
narrowly escaped very serious accident on
Sunday. While on his way home from
Emmanuel Sunday school, he was crossing
Main street, when Mr. j. Lawrence McCor-
mick's milk wagon, which was being driven
by Coleman Purcell, struck him, knocking
him down and running over him. The heavy
wheels passed over the child's legs, bruising
them considerably. Master Willie has made
most remarkable record of haIr-breadth es-
capes during his short life. When barely
more than an infant he fell from a second
story window, breaking his arm. He next
suffered severely from being thrown from a
wagon. His next exploit was being kicked
in the face by horse and the chronicle is
completed by the affair which happened on
Sunday No serious results are anticipated
from the latter and he will probably be ready
in few days for something else to happen.

Verdict for a RaiIrond CompanX.

Judge Waters sustained the demurrer of
the defendants filed in the case of Charles
Reidel against the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad Company for $50, 600
for personal injuries in an accident. The jury
promptly rendered verdict for the railroad
company in accordance with instructions by
the court. The case was removed from Kent
county Reidel was injured by being caught
between the tracks as the north and south
bound trains were passing the spot where be
attempted to cross. He was unable to ex-
press himself in English and the court inter
prefer translated his testimony. On behalf
of the railroad company it was commended
that there had not been evidence to establish
the compliments case as he himself was un
able to state which one Of the passing traint
struck him, and that he was upon the private
property OF the railroad at the time OF thu
accident, thereby contributing to the injury
by his own negligence. The argument on thu
demurrer consumed most of two days.

Davis, James &. Davis, Emma D. Davis, his
wife, Joseph q. Harner and Mary Harner his
wife, vs. The Jacob Tome Institute Of Port
Deposit, commenced The record is from
Cecil county, and the case arises from claim
of the plaintiffs to certain lots in Port De
post upon which the buildings of the Insti-
tute are located. The Tome Institute Build
ing was completed in 1894, ana this is suit
in ejectment to prove that the title Of the
land in question was vested in the heirs OF the
late james A. Davis. There is pending in the
Court of Appeals at present trespass suit,
which was brought by the executors of Davis.
The present litigation involves the titles to
date from 1915 down, and many questions arise
as to the right Of title by purchase, occupa-
ton and accretiOn. The peculiar location of
the property between the Susquehanna river
and the lofty hills which border on it, will
prove an important feature in the case. Piats
of the property drawn and explained by the
county surveyor, have beer placed before the
jury. and large numbers of witnesses have
been summoned on both ,ides, as the claims
OF title during the entire period Of over eighty
years down through the successive owners
will have to be proved. Messrs. Albert Con
stable, William T. Warhurton, James J.
Archer and John s. Young represent the
plaintiffs; and Messrs. l.. Marshall Haines,

hon OF our National capital by the British
forces in 1914, Clifford Howard in the July
LdiieS' Home journal will show that Dolly
man of her day, was courageous and fearless
in the face of grave danger. In the mad
stampede from Washington, that preceded
the invasion by the British troops, Dolly Madi-
son was the last to seek safety in flight, and
her final act before quitting the White House,
as the enemy advanced, was to seize the
Declaration of Independence and carry it with
her to place Of safety. As the White House
was Immediately afterward looted and burned
by the British, Mr.. Howard declares that for
brave Dolly Madison the priceless parchment

-"Going into a decline" How often do we
hear this expression. What does it mean? 1t
means that people are losing flesh, growing
thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to i'm.
prove the digestion. The condition arises from
an inability to eat and digest food. In fact
food does more harm than good because it fer
ments and putreties in the stomach, developing
poisonous substances which when absorbed
cause various disorders.
What is required is that the stomach be made
to perform its duties. The Shaker Digestive
