First Regiment Boys Stirred I'm,

CAMP MEADE, Pa, October 4.-The First
Maryland Regiment was quite worked up
this week on account of report that General
Graham's brigade to which we belong would
be sent to Cuba as an army Of occupation,
for We are all very anxious to be mustered
out.
The canteen was started this week and so
far 1t has proven Il great success as they took
in over forty-fOur dollars the first day. The
officers each contributed ten dollars and some
outsiders are interested in it and it is run by
the members of the regiment under the
management OF First Lieut.. W. K. Hawkins.
Checks are issued to the men TO the amount
of one dollar These checks are given the
men by the captain, who charges them up
and they have to redeem them the first pay
day and have established tue rule that If 4
man does not pay the amount of his checks,
it is read out at dress parade before the whole
regiment, consequently they do not expect to
have many BAD debts. They sell cakes,
candies, tobacco, cigarettes, cigars and beer
A pie man last week gave the Maryland
men all the pie they could get outside of, and
] think that he must have been surprised at
the number that they eat.
During the storm last week a private in Com
pany NJ 10th Ohio Regiment, was standing
in front Of his tent and the lightning struck
and killed him and left no mark upon the
floor or walls of the tent.
Private O'Donnell of Company X, from
Rockville, died at the General Hospital of
typhoid fever and two members Of the third
battilion have died since they came here, but
Company ID has been very fortunate as we
have only sent one man to the hospital since
our arrival aud the four we left in the hospital
at Old Point are getting well rapidly and we
hope to have them with the company.
Battalion Adjutant Randolph NJ. Isaac has
been appointed Acting Commissary and @.
NJ. Sergeant T. W. Hall, appointed Acting
Regimental Commissary Sergeant and
Sergeant e. Lee Calder appointed Quarter
Master of Company d.
The visitors which were expected yesterday
did not not put in an appearance much to the
regret of their friends.
A big storm was expected yesterday and
orders came from Gen. Graham to have all
the tents well ditched and made as water
proof as possible, but the violent storm did
not put in its appearance although there were
quite a number of light showers.

Death of IA Soldier. a Sad Case.

MIR. George s. Moore, of Company E, First
Maryland Regiment, |. 5. V, dieu of typhoid
fever at the Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadel-
phia, Oh Thursday last aged twenty-five
years. He was a son OF Mr. and Mrs. Michael
Moore, of Havre de Grace, and enlisted in
the Cecil county company, at Pimflico on
May 18th. He contracted the disease while
at Camp Meade but was not sent to the
hospital until his sickness had run nearly
three weeks, at which time his situation was
critical and the hospital authorities had no
hope OF his recovery, although this fact was
withheld from his parents, the first intimation
of his sickness being learned by them from q
daily newspaper Ofifcia! notice was sent to
his family on Tuesday, two days before be
died and then it was reported that he was
suffering from mild form Of typhoid and
his recovery was soon looked for.
Mr.. Moore went on Wednesday to Philadel-
phia and discovered that his son was much
worse than he expected, and that unless some
i'm IMMEDIATE change took place, death was in
evitable. The end came only a few hours
afterward. The young soldier was a man
highly esteemed By all who knew him, and
his family have the sincere sympathies Of the
entire community. His funeral took place on
Saturday morning from St. Patrick's Church,
the burial being in Mt Erin Cemetery. The
pail bearers were William Feehly, John Ter
rell and Frank Firman, Of Elkton Thomas
Quirk. John Fisher and Thomas Healey, OF
Havre de Grace.

guest of Mrs. Wallace K. Ayers, of Hsyre de
Grace.

A Double RUNAWAY.

A runaway, Of rather peculiar nature oc-
Cured in Bel Air on Saturday afternoon,
which caused considerable excitement and
which was providentially prevented from 90
ing an immense amount OF damage. Two
large teams belonging to Messrs. Benjamin
Jones, OF Bel Air, and Hays Hamilton, of
Churchyille, each with four horses attached,
were standing in the yard at Reckord's Mil,
between the office and the mill, the horses
facing the stables, when from some unknown
cause they took fright and turning complete
ly around within that narrow space, they
dashed mady up Main street, side by side,
into Bel Air. In their abrupt turn the tongue
OF Mr.. Jones's wagon was broken off short
and the horses kept on dragging the heavy
wagon without tongue. The two teams
kept abreast up past Broadway until they
reached the crest of the hill, opposite the
residence of Dr. Hollinsworth when the Ham
ilton team forged ahead. The street was
lined with vehicles, and the usual Saturday
afternoon crowd OF shoppers and sight-seers
and the first notice they had Of anything I'M
usual was when the teams dashed through
their midst. At or near Howard street, one
OF the lynch pins on the Jones wagon broke
aud the wheel came off, forcing the wagon up
over and throwing the off-wheei horse to the
ground. The crowd Immediately closed upon
it and stopped its progress. The Hamilton
team kept Oh and when near the Court House
DIR. e. II. krete managed to grasp the check
line and turned them toward the pavement,
while Mr.. n. J. Hutchins applied the lock
| vigorously, ana all danger WAS over.
While the teams were passing the ware
mouse of Messrs. Hanway & Keen, Mr. Chas.
Pocock's buggy standing there and the
frightened horses were headed directly for the
buggy, when Mr.. Philip Baltzell stepped into
the street and diverted their course. 1t was
narrow escape for Miss Katie Pocock, who
was in the buggy, as the heavy wheels passed
within few inches of the buggy
Mrs. John johnson, who resides opposite
to Friendship NJ. f. Church and who was
seated with young daughter in buggy in
! front of MIR. Geatty's store, tainted during the
excitement and was taken to Mrs. YouDg's
residence and medical aid summoned. 1t
seems to be a special providence that no one
was injured during the half-mile run Of the
heavy teams.

Deer Creek Farmers, Club.

The regular monthly meeting of the Deer
Creek Farmers Club was held at "Peplar
Grove,'' the residence of Mr. j. Lawrence
Mccormick, near Bel Air on Saturday. Those
present were: Hon. S. A. Williams, presi-
dent; John Moores, Edward p. Moores, T. H.
Mccormick, Thomas Fl. Robinson, &. Cover
STREET., Frank H.. Jacobs, John b. Wysong,
Vim. b. Hopkins, DIR. Phelps, of North Caro-
lima; ". Beatty Harlan, DIR. Herbert Harlan,
OF Baltimore; j. Lawrence Mccormick, John
Webster, Harry Silver, James Lee, r. Harris
Archer, John d. Worthington, Rev. Kerby s.
Miller, Edwin ii. Webster, Robert w. Holland,
Norval Mccormick and Philip II. Close.
Mr. Mccormick, the host of the occasion,
has one of the most noted dairy farms in Har-
ford county and his herd of cattle ranks high
among the dairy herds of the county, being
known as constant "prize winners" The
farm and its Improvements are fine specimens
of thrift and neatness, and all combined in es-
tablishing the reputation of Poplar Grove"
as model farm.
After the usual inspection Of the farm and
its buildings the discussion took plaza. The
topic was: "Wheat and the causes of the
failure of the crop OF 1895 in Maryland.
The discussion was Il general one, the main
causes assigned, being: The heavy snow of
April 2Sth; the June fogs and the Hessian fly.
In addition to these new enemy and its de-
structive work was mentioned. 1t is a boring
insect, hitherto unknown in the State of Mary
land. The newly discovered insect has been
the cause Of much serious Investigation by the
State Board Of Agriculture. Several members
Of that Board were expected to be present at
the meeting on Saturday afternoon, but vari-
GUS causes prevented their appearance. An
elaborate aud exhaustive treatise on the sub
ject was however forwarded, which was read
to the club 10y Mir. w. Beatty Harlan.
A number OF the members attributed the
large amount of damage to the wheat crop to
the effect Of the unreasonable snow of April
29th which mad the effect OF blghting the
straw in its early growth and leaving it weak
and unable to bear the weight of a fully
developed ear Of grain. The June fogs, oc-
curing at the time when the grain is in the
milky stage, unless overcome by a strong
wind, and dissipated before the hot sun
strikes the grain, produces rust and smut.
The old time en- envy, the Hessian fly gets in
its work early in the growth, affecting the
straw as the wire worm does maize.

The Coming Fair.

On Wednesday next the annual exhibition
of the Hartford Agric cultural Society will com
mence, and from the reports of the secretary
and other officers, it gives promise Of being
fully equal to the former efforts of the Asso-
citation. The outside depart ments. including
stock, promise to be unusually attractive and
are at the present time more fully entered
than for some years. The farmers and stock
men have eviEced much interest and zeal in
the fair, and in the poultry department alone
2l3 entries have been made by one prominent
fancier. The ladies department will be much
better filed than for several years past, while
the lovers of the race will be given some
excellent sport.
There will be music by both brass and string
bands, the wilma Cornet Band furnishing the
former. The amusements will be of nature
which will be above the average and 1t is safe
TO assume that the various fskirs Will do their
share toward making the fair as cosmopolitan
as possible. A notable and pleasing feature
Of past years has been restored and will prove
Of interest not only to the little ones,-the
men and women Of tomorrow-but to their
parents and guardians. Friday will be chill
dren's day. On that occasion all children
under twelve years Of age will be admitted to
the grounds and upon the grand stand free of
charge.
In fact the management promises that every
day will be big day.

CHURCHvILLE, Oct. 4.-This has been most
extraordinary summer in a great many re-
spects. In the early summer there was very
long rainy spell which was followed by a
drought and intense heat. Many unusually
violent thunder storms have occurred which
caused great deal of damage. The recent
hail storm is said to bave been the most re-
markable one ever known in this county. The
poor crops, diphtheria and typhoid fever have
only added to the general encouragement.
The canning season is practically over. AL
though fair crop was expected at first, it has
since proven to be an unusually short one.
All the farmers hope this year is in his corn
crop. Cutters are hard at work.
A peculiar incident shows that the greedy
appetite. with which the pig family has been
charged, is not altogether without foundation.
A few days ago a very fine shoat was found
swollen and dead. Upon examination, its
death was found to have been caused by over
filling its stomach.
Mrs Finney Wakeland is on the typhoid
fever list
Mr.. John f. Kennedy is home for few days.
Mr.. Edwin W. Finney has returned to
