THE CRUEL FLAMES.
Mr.. c. T. Lawrence's Heavy Loss by
Fire.

Tuesday night about 10 o'clock a
bright light IN the north west indicat-
ed that there was big fire near town.
Several persons hitched up and drove
apidly towards the fire, and soon To-
Gated it at Mr.. G.. T. Lawrence's farm,
about two p1iles from town.
Mr.. Lawrence and family were all In
bed asleep. A colored woman living
in the yard ran in and gave the alarm
of fire. MI. Lawrence sprang out to
find his fine stables in light flame.
All his horses and mules were impris-
oned in the flames and were nelghing
piteously tor help. He flew to their
rescue, darted in through the very folds
of the flames, threw open the doors OF
the stables just in time to save eight
mules. But two mules and one horse
were unable to escape and so helpless
ly perished In the flames.
Besides the two mules and horse,
there were entirely destroyed 800 bush
els of peanuts, already bagged, 90 bar
rels of corn and fine lot Of fodder and
hay.
There was no insurance. AS yet M.
Lawrence is unable to conjecture how
the fire occurred. The entire building
! was ahame when he was aroused from
sleep, and he had no means Of telling
anything about the origin OF the tire
He has had no trouble with anyone
and knows no reason why he should
suppose it the work of an incendiary.
The COMMONWEALTH joins the entire
community, in sympathy for Mr.. Law
renee in this serious loss which Is Pc
culiarly heavy a. this season OF the year
1t is indeed sad in times like these tc
see the effects of years Of toll and care
go up into smoke and air and bio"
away Oh the mlsts of the night.

Eddie PEBBLES not Lost.

Last week, upon information received
from two or three sources, we printed
that Eddie PEBBLES almost certainly
had been lost at sea.
We have received information from
his father saying that the schooner on
which Eddie was going to New York
was lost, but that some one has since
seen him in New York.
We are glad to be able to state that
the first information was incorrect and
that Eddie was saved.

Extravaganza of IA YOuns Man Mat
rimOninIIy Inclined.
There is a list of goods which was
recently paid by young man in our
employ to a father-fn-law who had an
eve for business before the young man
secured his wife, says the Church at
Home and Abroad, And the time will
never come when his father-in-law will
not regard It as his perfect right 70 ask
his son-in-law for anything more he
may want. The list is thus Eighty
neptunes, five guns, 80 marks (aboutSs)
worth of cloth. three goats, five cases Of
gin, three kegs of powder, two zinc
trunks, two umbrellas, one coat, two
chairs, two tall hats, three felt hats,
one flag, four shirts. one tin of sugar,
eight drinking glasses, IL plates, one
lamp. two brass kettles. four small iron
pots, one knife, 25 pipes, two jugs, one
large iron pot, 30 brass wires, four pairs
of scissors, and about % marks in cash
(s5.75).
Quite long, costly list for this coun-
try. when 1t is remembered that this
young man receives but 20 marks
(about $5) per month for his wages,
upon which he must Globe himself as
well as divide with others. When the
father-in-law concludes that the sOn-in-
law has paid him enough, for the time
being, for his daughter, then he gives
her over to the young man, and she be-
comes his wife.

Nebraska Farmers Successful scheme

Say, did you know that pumpkins
could be fed and made to grow to an
enormous size?" asked retired farm
er of the Omaha Zee man.
ITS fact" he continued. Il remem-
Der one spring that my father was
elected secretary of a county agricul-
tural society and he told me that he
was going to offer prize of ten dollars
for the largest pumpkin exhibited at
the fair. / determined to get that
prize and did.
"How did do it? By raising the big
gest pumpkin, of course. selected
vine that looked unusually thrifty and
gave it extra care until pumpkins had
formed about as large as a baseball.
Selecting one of these began to feed it.
Yes, feed it. l cut a cash in the stem
and run a soft cotton rag through IL.
Then l covered the place with wax
Every night set pan Of milk on each
side of the stem and put an end of the
rag in each pan. That pumpkin would
drink up that milk faster than a pig.
1t would absorb from q quart to three
pints every night and it began to swell
at an enormous rate. When the fair
opened loaded that pumpkin into a
wagon by the aid of a derrick it
weighed 3Os pounds-and took it down
TO agricultural hall. OF course got
the ten dollars.
''I have often wondered how many
pies that would have made. Estimat-
ing 33 per cent. waste, there were
about 2o2 pounds of pie material and
1-3 ounces to the pie would make"
But the reporter was too busy to hear
the rest. He was figuring on feeding a
watermelon on port wine and astonish-
ing the world.

The death of William M. Singerly,
proprietor and editor OF the Philadel-

nifty, inwhich he was 50 welland 80 fa-
vorably known. For many years he
and his newspaper have been house
hold words on this Peninsula. and
where he was not known personally ne
was known by reputation.
In Cecil county he had large bust
ness interests, and was better known
there than here. That section Of
Maryland benefited largely by his en-
terprise and benehcence, and hundreds
OF families owed their maintenance to
his paper r-manufacturing and other in
terests In our sister county.
From one end OF the country to the
other his name Is known In every
newspaper office, and wherever it lis
known " rs most highly respected.
When his recent financial reverses
became known wave OF sympathy
swept over the entire East and the
consideration shown him by his credi-
tors showed MOST conclusively how
much he was respected in his home
community.
1t is pity THAT such brilliant NEWS
paper man, such an enterprising busi-

should have died before he had time to
extrlcate himself from the financial

GALLANT CONDUCT OF PIPER.
instances OF Bravery shown in PERIL
Gus Quarters.

Instances of Bravery Shown In PERIL
Gus Quarters.
There have been several instances of
bravery similar to that of the gallant
Gordon piper at Dargai, who continued
TO play after both his legs had been
shot of, says the London Chronicle.
One of these, which occurred during the
Peninsular wars, was almost identical
with that of the capture of the Dargai
ridge. 1t was at Vimiera, when the
then Seventy-frst Highlanders hurled
themselves against the French as a
counter-stroke to the attempt of Kel-
lerman to recover six captured guns,
and drove back their assailants in head
long rout. When the Highlanders were
advancing Piper Stewart, of the gren-
adler company, fell, his thigh being
broken by a musket shot. Yet he re-
fused to quit the field, and, sitting on
a knapsack, continued to inspire his
comrades with a pibroch, saying;
"De'il haze me, lads, if ye shall want
for musicl" For this he received a
handsome stand of pipes from the High
land society of London.
Again, there is the historical incident
Of Pipe Major Mackay, who, when his
regiment had formed square TO receive
a charge of French cavalry at Waterloo,
stepped outside the square and strobe
round the bayonet bristling ranks play
ing his most inspirating pibroch in the
presence of his comrades-an incident
which forms the subject of one of Mr..
Bogle's finest be tile pictures, exhibited
at the academy n wear or two aQO,
