Friends Normal Institute Commence
ment.

The oath commencement of the
Friends Normal Institute was held
on Friday evening and the program
of the exercises was carried out to
the entire satisfaction of principal,
school and patrons. Miss Rodney's
organizing skill and untiring efforts
had anticipated everything to make
the wind-up of the term a success
to the school and a pleasant treat
to the patrons. The stage was
dressed with much taste in green
branches, ferns and flowers on the
sides and in the center the national
colors were artistically draped.
The exercises were opened by an
Invocation by Rev. D. E. Shaw, of
West Nottingham. Recitation by
Miss Margaret Boyd, "Jane Con-
quest" which gave evidence of
careful training and won the hearty
approval of the audience. Grafton
by Frank G. Kirk, Confluence of
IDEALS" was carefully prepared
and evinced considerable intellect
ual power on the part of the speak
er. Tt was of a length which taxed
severely the mental fibre in its
delivery, and the orator received
a salvo of hand clapping at the
close.
The graduate of the class of '9S
was Miss Louisa M. Worthington,
and the subject of her Grafton was
Gigs and Thistles," which was
delivered in a clear, well toned
voice. The subject was well han
died and the young graduate was
rewarded by the plaudits of the
audience and bouquets from her
friends at it's close.
Rev. Mr.. Jenkins, of Nottingham,
Pa, made the address to graduates,
which was most excellent one,
suited to the occasion, full of good
thoughts and advice.
Mr.. e. R. Burlington. a member
of the board of trustees of the
school, made the Presentation Adj
dress to the lone graduate. The
address was an earnest effort to i'm
press upon her the responsibilities
she must be prepared to meet and
battle with and how best to over
come and conquer them.
The benediction by Rev. Mr..
Shaw closed the exercises, and the
commencement for new trials
and triumphs for pupils, teacher
and audience was ushered in. Next
September Miss Rodney will open
the school for class of 80, and the
25th year of the Institute. She
has proven one of the most accept
able and satisfactory teachers the
Institute has ever had and has won
her way to the good graces Of the
fastidious trustees of the
school by tireless industry and
conscientious effort to advance her
classes. May a like success crown
her future efforts is the wish of her
many friends.

Attacked on the Highway.

SAN'eNOA s~SSOAi ~ "soO DAtoNAS 4AOh
day night to feloniously assault
three young ladies-Misses Alice
and Sarah Settle, of Leeds, and
Miss Dengler. of Philadelphia, who
is visiting the Misses Settle. The
former are the daughters of John S.
Settle, a merchant of Leeds. The
young ladies during the day drove
to Elkton and at about nine o'clock
started for their home. When in
the neighborhood of the bridge over
Dogwood Run, a negro stopped
their horse and grabbed Miss Sarah
Settle, dragging her from the car
riage. She fell heavily to the
ground and broke her collar bone.
Miss Alice Settle went heroically to
her sisters assistance, while Miss
Dengler hurriedly drove to Mr..
Dennis Mullen's farm house,
nearby. Mr.. Mullen and farm
hand jumped into the carriage and
drove rapidly to the scene of the
assault. The negro, hearing the
team returning, made his escape.
Mr.. Mullen fired at him twice
Intellectually, owing to the darkness
and distance.
In the meantime the Misses Settle
had desperate struggle with the
negro, jabbing him with hatpins
and scratching him whenever a
chance presented. Both the young
ladies were nearly denuded of
clothing in the struggle, and which
had to be replaced before the trio
were taken to their home.
Miss Sarah, who suffered frac-
ture of the collar bone, was carried
to the residence of Mr.. Mullen and
DR.. Howard Bratton, of Elkton,
was summoned and reduced the
fracture.
In a short time after the assault
became known quite a number of |
persons accompanied the sheriff
and his deputy to the scene, but |
were unsuccessful in their search |
for the assailant. Upon informa |
ton received on Tuesday two col
ored men, Eugene Salisbury and |
Dan Smith, alias Dan Tucker, were
After Salisbury had
been lodged in Jail, his shoes were
removed and taken to the scene,
and found to fit the tracks made in
the soft ground in the field across
which the negro fled. Salisbury
is an old offender, having served
eighteen months in the Maryland
Penitentiary for similar offense.
Sheriff ConOly went to Whining
ton Wednesday to identify a sus-
pect who was arrested in that city
on the charge of being the assailant,
but after examining him decided
that he was not the man wanted.
Since the tragedy several negroes
have been arrested, and, after a
rigid examination, have been re-
leased.
The condition of the Misses
Settle is more serious than at first
reported and it will possibly be a
week before they can appear at
Elkton to identify Salibury, when
a preliminary hearing will be given.

Picnics.

The annual picnics of the Chau-

Wheat harvest in the southern
districts of this county commenced
last Monday and will be general all
over the county next week. The
crop is considered not up to an
average and on some farms not half
a yield. The outlook in the winter
and spring was very promising for
a large crop, but fly and wet
weather have damaged it to great
extent. With the assured short
crop and a return to lower prices
the prospect for farmers is less en-
couraging than for the past few
