minor otiense created by the
General Assembly of 1898. The
debauching of a girl under sixteen
years of age, even with her con-
sent, is misdemeanor. OF this
OflenSe the accused is c0nfessedly
guilty. The father and the
mother Of the girl have asked the
court to be lenient with the &C
cused. We have needed their
written request. But this lem
iency is not to be treated as pre-
cedent. In view of the request
made by the parents of the girl
and considering the great injus-
tice done to Smith by the false
charge made against him and be
cause of his previous good char
acter, we deemed this a proper
case for the application of the
provisions of the first otlenSe act,
and we accordingly release him
upon his entering into a recog.
nizance for his good behavior for
the space of two years. Should
he be guilty Of a breach of that
recognizance he will be arrested
and sentenced to the House of
Correction"
Court then adjourned until the
next regular term-SecOnd Mon

Yellow Springs.
July Is, 1899.

July 10, 1879.
On account of the good rain
which we had last Saturday even
ing the lawn festival and concert
did not take place at Pleasant
Hill and will now come off next
Saturday evening.
We had a little smash up here
one day last week in which a
wagon loaded with pipe collided
with Jersey wagon, belonging
to Geo. S. Martz. and which stood
beside the pike. The driver of
the large team was talking with
another driver when his own team
turned off enough to catch the
small wagon. Both perch poles
were broken besides other injuries.
There was an accident this
afternoon in front of Pleasant
Hill Church, where a horse, at,
tached to a stick wagon, from
over the mountain, took fright at
the stand erected for the festival.
He at first bOlted to the left over
a small embankment, bending
the left spindle. Then he turned
short to the right when the driver
got out of the wagon to get a
hold on him, but the horse was to
quick and got away, running
back some distance when he was
caught.

GUILTY IN FIRST DEGREE.
The Second of the Rosenstein
Murderers Sentenced.

The argument of counsel began
Thursday afternoon and continu.
ed until ) o'clock p. m, on Fri
day. Messrs. Kilgour and Peters
spoke for the State on Thursday.
and MesSrs. Pearre, Mayo and
EtchisOn for the defence on Fri
day.
Mr.. Pearre told how he came
to defend the prisoner. He said
that Brown had worked on his
fathers farm, when he, (Pearre)
was boy, and how he had often
sat upon his knee; that he knew
he was innocent, else he could not
have undertaken to defend him.
He made strong plea for the
prisoner. Mr.. Etchison made a
long and eloquent appeal, review
ing the testimony and pointing
out the weak links in the chain
of circumstantial evidence.
States Attorney Kinks, closed
for the State.
At 800 the case was given to
the jury with the usual instruc-
tiOns from the court, as to the
methods of handing in the var
ious verdicts possible in the case.
In fifteen minutes the jury re-
turned, to the surprise of many,
with verdict of Guilty in the
first degree"
Judge McSherry's sentence af-
ter the usual preliminary ques-
ton was: "John Alfred Brown,
you have been convicted of muir
der. What | said to Armistead
Taylor upon his conviction last
week applies also to you. You
are standing upon the brink Of
the vast abyss of eternity. A
gaping grave is at your feet and
a grim gallows over your head.
There is but a short space of time
between that grave and that gal
lows. Devote that time to pre-.
pairing yourself for a further trial.
Do not expect executive clemency
or executive interference. Your
doom is sealed and rightly sealed.
Hearken now to your sentence.
1t is the order of the court that
you be taken hence to the Jail
from which you came. That from
there you be taken to the jail of
Montgomery County and there
kept until day to be set by the
Governor, when you shall be
taken to the place of execution
in Montgomery County and there
hanged by the neck until you are
dead, and may God have mercy
upon your soul"

A Strange Visitor.

A red fox had the audacity to
run through our Office on Monday
last, soaring the clerk into be-
lieving he had "blue devils" and
suggesting the changing of hoOfs
and the merry footing of the
huntsman's horn. Our county
visitor found no luscious hen
rOOst in the vicinity and decamp-
ed, followed by a crowd of young
boys bent on his capture. 1t is
said that several citizens com
plain of missing many members
of the feathery tribe lately and it
is possible that Reynard has kept
up his depreciation for some time.

TERRIFIC STORM.
Does Considerable Damage
Throughout the County.

The storm which swept over
this section on Thursday night
was most severe and somewhat
destructive.
Lightning struck a flock of
sheep belonging to Mr.. George
w. Miller residing on Mr.. An
drew Annan's farm in Emmits-
burg District. There were tif-
teen sheep in the flock and four
teen of them were killed.
Mr.. Cameron OILERS house
near Toms Greek NJ. Il. Church,
was struck by lightning. The
bolt struck the roof, passed into
the house, knocking the plaster
from the wall, splintering a bed
and setting the mattress on fire.
The damage was slight.
In Middletown Valley the storm
of last Thursday afternoon was
very severe. Many trees were
destroyed, corn was blown down
and broken off and other damage
was done. Southwest of Middle
town along the foot of South
Mountain, hail fell heavily, and
the corn was in some instances
cut to pieces, Mr.. Isaac Young
being the heaviest loser. Be
tween Middletown and Broad
Run the road was blocked with
fallen trees. Six fine. large
trees were blown down in Mrs.
Lewis Young's picnic woods,
west of MiddletOwn. Mr.. How
ard Beachley's orchard was nearly
destroyed. On the farm of Chas.
Darner a self binder in the field
was carried some distance by the
wind and hurled against the fence
with such force as to smash the
fence down. In many instances
large trees were twisted off as if
they were pipe stems. On the
farm of Robert Kefauver, south
of Middletown, a load of hay was
blown completely away, not bit
of it being found. On the farm
of Martin Remsburg a stack of
wheat was blown down and scat
tered in every direction, and a
straw stack was picked up by the
wind, torn apart and carried
away.

COAL SHEDS BURNED.
Fire Causes a Large Loss to
w. G. Miller & Co.

Fire, of a supposed incendiary
origin, destroyed the coal house,
stable, cart shed and straw shed
in the coal yard of MeSsrs. VIM.
S. Miller 4 Son, on the Balti-
more and Ohio avenue, at an
early hour last Tuesday morning.
The alarm was sounded on the
big steam whistle at the brick
works, which awakened the COM
munity from sound Slumber. This
was followed by the Hygeia Ice
Factory whistle and then the fire
bells rang out. The department
quickly responded, but the in
tlammable material was beyond
the saving point and all that
could be done was to save adjoin-
ing property. This was vaIiantly
accomplished but with consider
able difficulty. One of the en-.
gines burst her sucking sleeve
and several sections of hose were
burSted.
The burning coal shed was on
the main line of the railroad and
several passenger coaches were
on the siding directly in front of
it. By great effort sufficient
steam was gotten up in an engine
and the cars moved from their
dangerous position. Several
freight cars were also moved
from the coal trestle.
MIR. Miller estimates his loss at
about | 81, 800, partly insured in
the Mutual Company of Fred
erick. Several fine coal carts
were destroyed. Fortunately the
horses were in another part of the
yard and were not injured.

effort to keep the line at or near
Thurmont. If the road should
go by the way of Rocky Ridge
ThurmOnt would lose all hopes of
ever being a more thriving vii
lage than at present. On the
contrary there would be a marked

Wellington and the Blankets.
From the London Spectator)

What you say about the difficulty of
preventing peculation in the army reminds
me Of an anecdote have heard my mother
tell Of the Duke Of Wellington. A friend
Of my mother had contract to supply
blankets for the army. When they were
delivered the duke desired that every
blanket should be unrolled and shown to
him. When the gentleman, who was as
proud Of his honor as a manufacturer as
any soldier could be of his honor, remon-
strated against what seemed an aspersion
on his integrity, the duke only said: "It
is my duty to see that the soldiers have
proper blankets" do not know the time
or the circumstances, beyond the bare
fact as / have heard my mother relate it.
Perhaps you will allow me to tell an
other story l have heard from my mother
Of the great duke He was staying in
some town-it may have been Chelten-
ham-where was a girl who longed in
tensely to see him. She was i'll, and
could not leave her bedroom. Some one
told the duke Of her wish, and he came
and walked for some time in front Of her
window, that she might see him.

The Story of the Tories.
(From the Kansas CITY star.)


In this era of literary sensations it is
rather surprising that no one has taken
up the Tory Of the American Revolution
as the theme of a novel. No party has
ever suffered more complete oblivion and
effacement than the American Tories. They
encountered implacable resentment from
the advocates of American independence
because of their loyalty to the
British Crown. They were driven
from their homes and their es-
tates. They took up arms against
their countrymen and fought all through
the war. and. when it was over, like the
Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, the Tories dis
appeared and were seemingly blotted out.
The word Tory-a term Of reproach and
shame-remained in the school books, and
the only Tories ever known in America
are those whose deeds are recorded in his
tory.
Now the children Of, the children Of the
Tories-or of the Loyalists-are returning
to the United States TO become a part Of
the nation which their ancestors cursed
and left. Over the border from Canada to
Boston, over the border to Chicago, pour
the great-grandchildrep of the Tories, to
Join the standard which their forefathers
reviled. In Canada, to which the Tories
fed, there is no tie strong enough to bind
the descendants Of the Royalists, and they
flock to the United States, seeking life.
liberty and the general pursuit Of happi-
ness. In some districts Of the Dominion
whole hamlets are depopulated and the old
crone in the wayside cottage informs the
enquiring traveller that the men and wo-
men who lived in the deserted habitations
have all gone to the Estates" And there
were doubtless noble souls among those
Tories; stanch men and true. who retreated
across the border because the establish
ment of the republic was, to them, the vio-
lation of righteous principle. By no
means all of the colonists who remained
loyal to King George were traitors. There
were Tories-and plenty Of them-who
were true patriots, and the story, as It ap-
peared to their minds eye, would be
strange reading indeed for the American
Of today.
With the enlargement and security Of
our liberties we have become more charita-
BILE, and have reached plane of federation
where it is possible to believe that there
were beautiful Tory heroines and gallant
