SIR PETER PARKER's CANNON.
Historic Gun Used to Celebrate in
ChesterfOwn, Md.

Chestertown, Md, July AT the cele
bration of the Fourth of July in Chester
town the most interesting object was one
of the three cannon used against the Brit
ish under that distinguished commander.
Sir Peter Parker, in the battle of Caulk's
Field. This fight occurred on August 80.
1914. The British left one midshipman
and eight men dead on the field, and nine
wounded, six of whom died in the course of
a few hours. Sir Peter Parker was among
the slain. The Kent county troops, under
Col Philip Reed, lost one man. What has
become of the other two cannon no one
knows. The old Chestertown gun has had
a most interesting history since finding its
way to Chestertown. For many years it
was used to celebrate the national birth
day and local political triumphs.
While being used about fifty years ago
to celebrate a Fourth Of July holiday, a
nurse passed in front of the gun just as it
was fired. In her arms was an infant.
The wad struck the child and it was in
stantly killed. After that the old Caulk's
Field cannon" was spiked and has ever
since been silent. For years it lay in q
gutter, but few years ago it was re-
painted and mounted, and is today the
most interesting war relic in the county
and occupies a conspicuous place near the
center of the town.

SAW A GREWsoME SIGHT.
4 Woman Witnesses "a Suicide ON a
Country Road.

New York, July AIRS. ]. E. Smith
Hadden, while driving from the Meadow
Brook Hunt Club to her country place,
near Hampstead. yesterday afternoon saw
the struggling form of a man suspended
from a wild cherry tree near the road
side.
The man had evidently just swung him
self from a branch of the tree as Mrs.
Hadden drove around bend in the road.
She saw that a thin blue cord had been
passed around the mans neck. Mrs. Had
den got one glimpse OF the face nf the
suicide and then turned her head away
She had involuntarily reined in her
horses at the sight. She stopped for mo-
ment in the roadway debating some plan
action She finally adopted a plan, which
in the excitement and terror Of the mo-
ment. seemede to her the most feasible one.
She whipped up her horses and hurried
down the road a quarter OF a mile to the
Meadows. the country home of James l.
KernOchan.
MI Kernochan was startled when he
saw Mrs. Hadden drive rapidly up 10 his
house. Her face was pale. She spoke in
quick, sharp sentences and pointed in the
direction where she had seen a sight which
Mr.. Kernochan called his groom and all
hurried to the tree described by Mrs Had
den. There they found that the body OF the
suicide was slowly swaying backward and
forward. The arms were tightly drawn
up. Mr.. Kernochan cut the cord with
which the man had hanged himself. The
grComs supported the body and slowly low
cred it to the ground after the cord had
been cut The mans neck had evidently
10 to he dyyin
from strangulation.
The cord which he had used was a ma
sons plumb line-not much larger than
blue fishing line. 1t seemed remarkable
that it should have held the weight of a
man at all.
Mr.. Kernochan did all that he could to
resuscitate the man. The unfortunate
person was beyond all human help. He
was barely conscious when cut down, and
he died shortly afterward. DR.. c. g. j.
Finn for whom Mr.. Kernochan had sent a
groom as soon as he heard Mrs. Hadden' s
story. arrived after the man had breathed
his last.
In .he mans pockets were found two
postal cards, by means of which he was
identified as Louis Ruidter stone mason
He was a German and apparently about
sixty years old. The Identification was
confirmed later by the mans wife.
Ruidter had been employed by MertZ &
| Co. contractors, of Port Chester, N "
| who were working on the country place OF
! Oliver H. P. Belmont, near Hampstead.
| Ruidter's wife had come with him. and had
| found employment in farmhouse not far
| from the Belmont estate. Since work was
| stopped on the Belmont place Ruidter had
| been out of employment. He was living
| with his wife at the farmhouse.
There was quarrel between Ruidter and
| his wife yesterday afternoon 1t isssaid
| that Ruidter threatened to kill both his
wife and stepchild. Mrs. Rufdter told him
10 get out and never to return. Mrs. Ruid-
ter is much distressed over her husband
| death. and her grief is pitiful to witness.

GOVERNOR TYLER SILENT.
Has Made 40 Declaration of His Can
didacy for the Senate.

Richmond, Va, July 4.-Governor Tyler
is keeping as mum as oyster. He will
not say that he will run for the Senate,
nor does he deny that he has positively
and finally made up his mind not to be-
come candidate. He is at his farm, near
East Radford. but is expected in Richmond
this week. The governors friends here
are Of the opinion that he is not only will
ing to step into the Senatorial boat II it
should be rowed up to his door. but that
he is now willing to wade out into water
and make bold effort TO get into the
craft.
The opposition 10 Mr.. Martin is pun
melting the governor with letters begging
him to run, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that the appeals of his friends are
wedrying him. In fact, it looks very much
as if the governor is enjoying what is GO
ing on. II is firmly believed here that he
will shortly announce himself a candidate
for the Senate. Senator Martin is now di-
recting his campaign from Scottsville.

SCORING THE THEATRES.
DIR. Dixon. n baptist Pastor, breaches
Against Plays.

New York, July An a sermon Sunday
night cn the subject May l Go to the
Theatre?" Rev. DIR. A. C. Dixon, Pastor
of the Hanson Place Baptist Church, and
formerly of Baltimore, made strong ar
raignment of the theatre as an institution.
He quoted from the number of writer's
Scott. Macaulay, Henry Ward Beecher-
and from many actors-Edwin Booth, Hen
.ry Irving, Macready-and others to prove
that the tendency of the stage in all times
was to lower character.
Dr. Dixon made four points: First, that
acting is injurious to the character of the
actor To act part anywhere is hurtful.
Acting is unworthy of good man or
woman, The actor sinks himself in the
part he actss9 Second, the theatre Injuries
those who attend by exaggerations of life
Third, the stage lowers the tone of every
community The theatre is an institution
that emphasizes shady character, because
the acting of shady characters pays better
than pure characters. Fourth, the theatre
is run by the management to make money
regardless of moral results.
DR.. Dixon and Mrs. Dixon left Brooklyn
yesterday for Shelby, N. c., his birthplace.
Here tabernacle has been erected which
will hold 5000 persons, and DR.. Dixon will
hold meetings during part of the time he
is absent. He will also hold a conference
for ten days at Lake Keuka, N. Y.

DIR. FUNSTON TO BE A BISHOP.
His Conservation to Take Place at
Portsmouth, Va.

= Norfolk, Va, July 4.-The Rev. DR..
Funston, Rector of Trinity Protestant
Episcopal Church, will be consecrated
bishop of Boise, Idaho, at Trinity Church,
Portsmouth, Va. Bishop Randolph, of tho
diocese of Virginia, and a number of
bishops from other States will officiate DR..
Funston was elected bishop of Boise by
the Episcopal general council in Washing
ton last fall, but declined to serve. He
afterward reconsidered his declination ard
commission was issued for his consecra-
tion on April u.
A technical objection was raised by nine
bishops forming very small minority
in the college of bishops. The consecra-
tion was consequently postponed until due
opportunity had been given TO the objec-
tors to urge the facts of their case upon
Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, the presid-
ing bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States. Bishop
Clark has now decided after thorough con-
sideration that there is no legal ground
for further delay, and has therefore issued
the commission TO Bishop Randolph, who
will conduct the conservation.

FIRE AT SPoTTSYLVANIA.
Number of Buildings Destroyed with
Heavy Loss.

Fredericksburg, Va, July 4.-Spottsyl-
vania Court House was visited yesterday
by the most destructive fire since 1864,
when nearly every building was destroyed
The fire broke out about 10 o'clock in
the barn of Thomas H. Harris, and before
it was under control had burned the barn
residence, storehouse. grist mills, and
blacksmith shops, belonging to Mr.. Har-
ris; the residence and its contents. owned
by William Knighton; the Christian
Church. and several small outhouses.
The fire originated from sparks from
an engine which was threshing wheat in
Mr.. Harris yard. But that twas court
day, and large crowd@i in attendance, the
confiagration would have been much
greater. The loss is about $4,000 with
only $125 insurance. The church which
was destroyed was built in 1855 and was
connected with many historic incidents
OF the war.

One of the men has a wife and eleven

Mrs. southvvorth,s Books.


The result of Mrs. Southworth's work as an
author has been the requirement of wealth and
notoriety She has dealt purely in the sensa.
tional. Her books have not been immoral
but they immoral; that is, the au-
thor has not concerned herself to make
them edifying by teaching moral truths. 1t is
legitimate for a novelist to invent interesting
and thrilling incidents, and make the story

told, should be, seen; to be subordinate to the
purpose and teaching- of the story Such read

But books in which everything is sacrificed and
subordinated toFs the seort to startle the reader
and keep his mind in constant excitement, are
not only of real and lasting benefit to the read
er, but the reading Of them units him for litera-
ture that is really good. All else seems tame
and without interest.
While not everyone can write such books as
Mrs SouthwortH has written-for there is in
them strong dialogue and fine descriptive work
that could have been better used-it is not SO
difficult to write an interesting story when the
sole object is I'd intsfest On the whole, it may
be said that Mrs s5dthworth's stories have been
more profitable o MI and her publisher than to

A Rash Millionaire.

II is reported that John d. Rockefeller.
the Standard Oil magnate lately per-
formed a somewhat remarkable feat in
glacier-climbing. He has been on a holi-
day trip to Alaska, and during the Jour
ney climbed the Muir Glacier, which is
said TO be a dangerous experiment The
millionaire, however, suffered no ill ef-
fects.
This episode suggests a few rather
serious reflections. 1t is not exactly COM
mon for man of Mr.. Rockefeller's reSpon-
sibilities to risk his life for the fun of the
thing, and that in itself is remarkable
enough to be worthy of comment. Many
men who have accumulated a few thou

they be caught and crushed by unforeseen
calamity, and their places be vacant, their
Suppose Mr.. Rockefeller, climbing the
Muir Glacier with hundred million dol

not to say life and well being, depend al
most absolutely upon Mr.. Rockefeller's

ing Attorney w. s. Hamilton.
Bristol Va, July 4.-The case of the
Commonwealth against Representative
James A. Walker of the Ninth Virginia
district, on a charge of shooting with in
tent to kill w. S. Hamilton lawyer, was
called in the corporation court of this
city yesterday. Both sides being ready,
jury to try the case was promptly en-
paneled, being selected from venre of
twenty-five substantial citizens of Mont
gomery county, who were brought here
from without this Jurisdiction upon or
der entered by Judge Stuart at the June
term of the court. There are no changes
in the counsel on either side, and the ar
ray is the same as was published last
month, and includes some of the ablest
lawyers in this, end Of the State.
Three witnesses were examined. w. II.
Price testified that he was acting notary
during the taking of the dispositions in
the Walker Rhea Congressional contest,
and was present the night the shooting
took place. General Walker had apparent
ly taken offence at a jesting remark made
by witness, and remarked that anybody
could be fool3sonietimes. Attorney w. S.
Hamilton asked ifstthe generals remark
was intended sfor him. inasmuch as he
was amused at what the witness said.
Hot words followed, but quiet was soon
restored and Mr. Price suggested that
the work should proceed In order or an
adjournment would be taken. General
Walker remarked that he was willing TO
proceed if sober counsel could be had.
He said also that this was meant for Mr..
Hamilton, and that he was tired Of trying
to do business with drunken man as
counsel. Mr.. Hamilton called General
Walker liar, whereupon the general
drew his revolver and fired, the ball en-
tering Mr.. Hamilton's body above the abb
domen. The confusion was SO great that
the witness failed to see who shot Cen
eral Walker, but heard two other shots.
The other two witnesses examined were
present when the shooting occurred end
corroborated in the main what was re-
lated by Mr.. Price. Judge Stuart adjourn
ed court until O'Clock this morning. at
which time the examination of witnesses
was resumed. The trial will probably last

BOUGHT THE. DISMAL SWAMP.
Lumber Company Reported to Have
Acquired the Famous Tract.


Acquired the Famous Tract.
Norfolk, Va, July At is asserted here
that the Camp Manufacturing Company,
lumber manufacturers at Franklin, Va,
have bought the famous Dismal Swamp.
This great swamp lies half in North Caro-
lima and half in Virginia. Through it
canal known as the Dismal Swamp Canal
has been dug at enormous cost. One end
of the canal is near Norfolk and the other
is on the North Carolina Sound. In the
mud underlying the waters of the great
swamp are thousands CT cedar trees which
have been submerged and preserved from
decay.
1t is understood that the purpose of the
Camps is to drain the swamp and secure
this timber. Should they do SO they will
leave the Dismal Swamp Canal high and
dry, eighteen feet above tide water The
few who know Of the reported purchase
of the swamp express great interest in the
matter and opinions differ as TO whether
the purchasers may legally drain the
swamp and thus destroy the canal. or
whether by the purchase of the great tract
through which it runs the Camps acquire
the canal. The lawyers say the purchas
ers of the swamp may legally drain it al
though their action render the canal use
less, If railroad is built along the tow
path
