A Weather Prophet.

Pilot Jones. of the steamer, Emma
Giles, remarked TO some OF the passen-
gers yesterday that there was going to be
squall, and that il would be met before
the steamer reached COLCHESTER from An
napolis. There was no indication of a
storm at the time, but sure enough It
came and true as Capt. Jones had pre-
dicted. Capt. Jones. who has been in
the employ of the Tolchester Steamboat
Company for long time, Is very eff
cient and always has his weather eye
open. He is said to be one Of the best
pilots in the service, and is a thorough
steamboat man.

KILLED BY THE STORM.
SERIOUS INJURY TO CROPS.
Heavy Wind and Rain Does Damage in
Anne Arundel.

A teiuac rain and wind storm visite q
this section yeste day afternoon, and lett
death in its path. The morning was ex-
tIemely warm, the thermometer register
ing 90 degrees. The humidity OF the
atmosphere was terrible. and there seem
ed no sign of relief until about 0 CLOCK,
when dark clouds put in an appearance.
A heavy breeze began to blow. which
was followed by down-pour of rain
continuing for nearly an hour. Roads
in many places were washed. and much
damaged resulted TO crops.
KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
The lightning was vivid and many ex-
cursionists at resorts around Annapolis
became terror stricken. Mr.. Charles
Griffith, a well-known farmer. living in
the Fourth district, and Miss Garrett
son. who is said TO have been on visit
10 his family. were Instantly killed by
lightning during the afternoon within a
hundred yards of the Griffith home. near

Mr.. Griffith and Miss Garrcttson and
other members OF the family had been
sitting on the porch. Mr.. Griffith pro-

spring to get some cold water They
left the porch and disappeared in the
direction Of the spring. A few minutes
after they had gone the storm broke and
the rain fell in torrents. A vivid flash Of
lightning. followed by crash OF thua-
der. drove those on the porch inside.
After the storm had passed. Mrs. Grif-
fifth, becoming alarmed at the absence of
her husband and Miss Garrettson, sent
after them. They were found dead near
the spring, almos: side by side. The
same bolt had killed both. The bodies
were taken up TO the house and prepared
for burial. Some slight disfguration OF
the face had been sustained by both.
The sudden death of husband and
friend proved terrible shock to Mrs.
Griffith. who was in a serious condition
last night. DIR. +. n. Brayshaw, of Glen
Burnie, Anne Arundel county, was sent
for and is in attendance upon Mrs. Griffith,
The spring was about 100 yards from
the house.

CRUELTY - VIEWS OF DR..
CHARLES K. ADAMS

Bloomington. Ind. Jan. 1.-Foundauon Day at
the University OF Indiana was celebrated by an IN
teresting programme. There was a large attend
ance The principal address was made by Dr..
Charles X Adams president OF the University Of
Wisconsin His subject was Colonies and Other
Dependencies" His utterances in favor Of e1pan-
sion OF American power and influence were en-
Enthusiastically applauded
President Adams said that the constitutional
ouestions involved IN the subject OF National ex-
pansion were not likely present any permanent
embarrassment. The problem, he thought was
solved By the Louisiana Purchase, when Jenerson'
without Constitutional authority. made the pur-
chase and the people acquesced In the act he
said the same consideration which led 20 this pur-
chase led TO subsequent extensions. The purchase
~ Florida the annexation Of Texas, the acqusi-
ton OF California. the Gadsden Purchase and the
ACQUISITION OF Alaska were all without direct con-
stitutiona authorization.
The sneaker held that a method Of liberal Inter
pretaton Of the Constitution was Indispensable.
That document was adopted before the age OF
steam and electricity. No one then thought OF
having any territory west OF the Mississippi Inc
