FIELDS PRECARIOUS CONDITION
A CECIL COUNTY MAN TO PREACH
IN RICHMOND. KANSAS.

IN RICHMOND, KANSAS.
Elkton, July 14.-William Fields, the
colored man who was seriously cut
with razors on the arm. face and body
and stabbed with a knife in the right
lung, is in precarious condition at
the Elkton Jail, and DIT lamar has but
little hopes Of his recovery.
REV. Russef Mccullough, a graduate
OF Princeton, son of John w. McCul-
Tough, OF this county, has accepted a
call to the pastorate of a Presbyterian
church in Richmond, Kan, and has
left for his new charge.
The County Commissioners awarded
the contract for the stone work at Har-
vey's new iron bridge to M. F. Nc
Dowell, of the Seventh district. The
commissioners also passed an order
that the Columbia and Port Deposit
railroad be required TO place a watch
man at ConOwingO crossing.
Misses Sarah and Alice Settle, who
were attacked on the public road lead
ing to ElktOn some weeks ago and fe-
loniously assaulted by a negro, on
Tuesday identified Eugene Salisbury in
Elkton Jail as the man who committed
the assault, and who is under arrest on
suspicion OF being the party wanted
Miss Settle, who had her collar bone
broken, is still suffering from the
shock. A preliminary hearing will b,
held at an early day.

CLOSE TO THE MOON.
u Is Brought within Easy Reach of
the World by "a Recent
Invention.

Herr Johann Mayer, an Austrian lieu-
tenant, has just discovered a method by
Which the moon can be brought within
pistol-shot of the world, flguratively
speaking. Nothing among the many
marvels Of modern invention is more
astonishing than this same discovery.
BY his invention Herr Mayer says the
moon can be brought within a distance
of 100 yards, in fact, and explored most
thoroughly. Prof Gates combined
microscope-teleseope was brought TO be
a marvellous contrivance, but this latest
addition puts it quite in the shade. In
his success Herr Mayer has made a
wide departure from customary meth
DDS. In fact the monster telescopes
do not figure in his calculations what
ever. Without going into long-drawn-
out or technical explanation of the ap-
paratus he has constructed, it is novel
affair, in that an enormous parabolic
mirror 90 yards in diameter that re-
wolves upon a fixed axis is the main
scheme of the apparatus. This concave
mirror which is Of the ordinary "sil-
vered" glass has a small convex para
bolic mirror suspended atits focus; and
this small mirror focuses the rays re-
ceiyed from the larger one, and throws
them on the lens of an immensely pow
erful microscope. Thus a clear and
brilliantly-lighted picture of the moon
or star under examination is brought
Immediately under the microscope,
which has a magnifying power of many
million diameters. Herr Mayer ex-
plains that it will thus be possible, al
most, to see the time by the watch of
the "man in the moon," or to see the
bridges (if any over the canals of
Mars.

pEEP MINING I'M couoRApo.

"A mining engineer who has had ex-
perience in all the most important min
ing camps OF the world said the other
day that the mining territory OF Colo
RADIO had only been scratched, and in
stanced the Alma district, where the
rich deposits of gold lying beneath, and
from which came the rich placers that
have produced 50 many millions OF dol
lars, have been neglected while the
tops Of the hills we're scraped Off TO get
the silver. While this is true, recent
investigation into the deep mines OF the
state show that the scratches are get
ting pretty deep, and that the day is
past when a 300-foot shaft is regarded
as a deep hole. And what gives more
encouragement is the fact that in al
most every instance where the earth's
crust has been penetrated to any depth
II has been found that the ore has inn
proved, and new and unsuspected
sources OF wealth have been developed.
In many Of the older producing mines
OF the state sinking is going on contin-
ually, and shafts from 1000 to 1,5OC
feet deep are by no means uncom-
mon, while there are two or thre,
shafts in the state that have passed tn,
2,000-foot limit. The deepest shaft Il
the state is that Of the Geyser Mine, II
Custer county, which has reached
depth OF $500 feet and is still goinl
down, the results so far obtained point
ing TO increased values at create
depths. In Gilpin county the deepes
shaft is that of the Kansas-Burroughs
which is now down 1900 feet. whil
there are several others that hav
reached a depth OF more than 100
feet. The Bobtail shaft is now dow
1900 feet, the Gregory Consolidated

A HORSE THAT SHORES.
Kansas City Has n Nag That Is a Curl
0sity In the Animal
Kingdom.

Snoring men are as plentiful as whis-
ky in Kentucky. However, while this
evil is predominant with the human
race, yet it is indeed seldom that
member of the animal kingdom be-
comes afflicted with the snoring habit.
There is just one case of the kind known
to exist in Kansas City, Kan, and while
there is no question about the existence
of this one case, the afflicted animal
contracted the habit from man, says the
Kansas City Journal.
Prince, the oldest horse in the Kansas
City (Kan.) fire department, has the
snoring habit, and he's got it bad. All
of the "laddies" at fire headquarters
have good records as snorers, but
Prince can allow them all a bad cold and
then beat them out, pulled up. Snor-
ing Prince, or the prince snorer, is the
horse driven by Assistant Chief William
Mcconnell. He generally minces away
at his food until after 10 o'clock each
night, providing there are no alarms.
At about this hour he lies down in bis
| stall, and in q few minutes his eyes
close, and soon thereafter the snoring
begins. The noise produced by the
sleeping horse is similar to that of a
snoring man. Before it became known
that Prince actually snored several of
the firemen, who take turns about
watching at night, were accused of 60
ing 10 sleep on duty. The only founda-
tion for the accusation was the snor-
ing. In order to prove their innocence
It became necessary for them 10 peach

THERE Is FUN AHEAp.

For Peninsula sportsmen there is fun
ahead. Within the past month the
Wayfarer has been thrown in contact
with persons from all parts Of the state
and the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
and the unanimous expression OF opin-
ion has been, that rabbits and quail
will be unusually plentiful this Fail. In
the rural districts rabbits are seen
scurrying in all directions and the cry
Of Bob White!" is heard in all direc-
tions.
The plentitude of rabbits is not con-
fiDed 10 the country Out in Brandy
wine Park, within the city limits, and
in some Of the cemeteries, bunny is
seen hopping around. In the vacant
lots near the Auditorium there is a
rabbit which seems perfectly satisfied

terrifying that several mothers booking

they were made very sick for a little

wrecked a platform and broke down
